oh, thank god !!Ā konās had time to gather enough.Ā a cursory glance through the news had gotten him at least half up to speed.Ā and with that came the worry.Ā if half the world was gone, where were his friendsĀ ??Ā he canāt imagine this world without bart and cassie and tim.Ā ( he spares a thought for the others, too, but those three are everything to him )Ā if this world doesnāt have YOUNG, JUST US. then whatās the damn point ??Ā so when he sees tim, kon doesnāt think to start easy.Ā itās tim, and tim is -- a lot to kon, has been a lot to kon for a long, long time.Ā so thereās no need to go slow, explain his own strange resurrection.Ā instead, kon just falls out of the sky, boots loud as they make heavy impact right in front of tim.Ā Ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā ā i thoughtĀ i heard you, ā he says, and now that heās up close, he can hear the strong, intimately familiar sound of timās heart in his chest.Ā kon doesnāt dive in for a smooch, or anything, heās too cool for that.Ā heāll give tim a momentĀ to acclimate, at least, but he does put a hand on either side of timās face, more gentle than heās everĀ been.Ā unworried, kon just beams down at tim.Ā Ā ā howāve you been, boy wonder ?? ā
