Dear Diary,

 

          Lex Luthor called today.  Wanted to talk to Clark, but he wasn’t home, so we

started talking.  I dunno, diary…  Lex is… pretty cool, you know that?  Looking at it from

the Kara Kent point of view.  He’s… I think he’s SUSPICIOUS of what we are, but he

doesn’t say anything.  He asked though if I wanted a JOB, can you believe that?  I might

accept it, but I’m kind of wary…

 

           Kon’s acting weird, diary.  After I got off the phone with Lex (notice I say LEX?),

Kon pops in and sits down beside me.  He says, “You know Bruce, right?”  “Yeah, what

about him?”  “He’s Batman, isn’t he?”  “I guess so.”  “Y’think he’d mind if I drop off by

his house?”  “Why?”  “Because--“  “STOP touching my HAIR!”  “Heheh… Because I need

to talk BUSINESS with him.”  “I think he’s still a little offended about the little boy

molestation accusation, Kon.”  “I was JOKING and if HE doesn’t know that, then maybe

he shouldn’t have little boys living with him.”  “You’re doing it again.”  “Kaaaarrrrraaaa!”

“DAMMIT, just go fucking talk to him!”  “Fine, I will!”

 

          And then he left.  That is SO damn weird.

 

          OH!  Went wedding dress shopping with Lois today!  I’mma gonna be a briiiide’s

maid!  The dresses--she’s picked ‘em out--they look SO awesome!  They’re red, right?

And tight on the top with a low V cut, and then they go down, flaring out a bit with a

train and everything.  And they’re SILK and SATIN!  Not just silk, which is cool, or satin

which is sexy, but BOTH!  And these’re the kinda dresses that you can wear on other

occasions!  COOL, huh?!

 

          Oh man, Kyle’s here.  Heehee…  I think we’re gonna do something eeeevvvviiillll

tonight…

 

Love ya, Diary!

          Oh God oh God OH GOD!

          I got home from school today, and guess who was there?  Clark.  Told me the

WORST news…

          Kon’s disappeared.  Now, normally this would be a joyous situation…  Except this

is leading to something big.

          The National Guard was called in around four PM today to Metropolis when

Livewire, Parasite, Volcana and Toyman lined up with MR. FREEZE and POISON IVY!

What the HELL are THEY doing here, I don’t know!  All I know is Superman is across the

street, with Catwoman hitting on him!  Atlantis is on trial for attempted terrorism,

Cheshire broke out of the Slab, and Kyle and Jade are missing too!

          I swear to God, if I gotta whup her ass, I will.

          I can’t reach Dick because he’s off trying to settle SOME thing with Wally, and

Dark Angel kidnapped Troia!  And Lex is acting really strange.  I think he’s got

something planned…  (I overheard him today, ‘cause I’m an intern there now.  Clark said

it’d be good for undercover work.)  And… I think it has something to do with Bruce, but

I’m afraid to CALL him incase Kon tries to contact him, I’m not sure if Kon has or not all

ready!  I better call Babs and warn her.  I think Brainiac and Darksied are invading, I saw

Lashina.  God, can’t even THINK straight!  Brainiac might try to finish what he started

with Bruce--and I DO remember that. Not to mention…

          Diary, there’s a Lithuyati mine in Gotham.  It’s a mineral that can be changed into

crystals more valuable than any other--and as deadly to *ANY* metahuman as

kryptonite!  Metahuman disapproval, beyond known superheroes now, is so high and

growing higher (read the Daily Planet and New York Times, they have poles!) that a rock

like that would be… worth so much, and Darksied is AWARE of the mine.

          Should we tell Bruce…?
