The couch, a handful of pills, and a glass of juice. Kon threw back the pills and took a large swallow of juice, thankful that he'd finally found a way to the Compound after his 'shortcut'. He closed his eyes and slumped against the couch, his mind going back to conversations he'd had the last few weeks. One in particular stood out. Dairine and

Bart actually wasn't that hard to find, being only a few doors down in the lab. He'd been spending most of his time that he wasn't training with Robin or Nightwing there trying to help keep the not so recent rash of technically inclined people vanishing from affecting the island's pipeline for drug production.

"Tim was the one I went to when I first saw...when this first happened. Who else do you think I'd go to?" Kon didn't know anyone else in the lab. He cocked his head when Bart mentioned 'Impulse'. "When you did, you mean. You might be a genius or something, but deep down somewhere, there's still the kid who broke the Batmobile."

Such a shame that he'd missed it.
