[So Kon has recovered for the most part, he just can't be bothered to do his usual video broadcasts.]

So I guess I can scratch 'being possessed' of my bucket list. Sorry if I hurt anyone. [It's easier to pretend he doesn't remember seeing what he did. Mostly to kedan though. And it's better than doing this over video because then no one can see any twitches that happen when he lies. Or you know, in case the twitches do happen.

He sighs.]

It is over, right? I mean those things are gone enough to not bother us? Kinda lame that they were pretty immune to physical contact though. I've looked and not really seen anything.

[It's a little comfort hearing that someone else thinks it could be over.]

Not like that. I mean we had the zombie things, but you could punch them and they did possess you. But that's as close as we've had.

[She switches over to voice as well, and takes a moment to let the whole zombies thing really sink in.]

So, zombies? Sorry I missed that one. [Except not really. She softly laughs, just because she's feeling a bit grateful this place is far from ordinary.]

It's just...it's good to be able to be someplace where I can try to make a difference and help out. Don't worry about being possessed or anything, though. I'm sure everyone that knows you is gonna understand.

Oh yeah, was a total blast. [There is a slight smile in his voice though.]

It makes it more bearable. It'd be a total drag if there was nothing. [He's quiet for a moment on the possession part and has to remind himself that it's over.]

Yeah I just...I didn't have control and that's not something I like the thought of. [Terrifies him now actually.]

It sounds awful. [She doesn't mention that she spent a bit of time being possessed. This isn't about her, and he sounds like he had it worse off, and she doesn't want to trivialize that.]

But you're alright now, right? I mean, physically? [She knows that mentally is another story.]

I'm not a doctor or anything, but if you're hurt from whatever happened, I can try to help.

Yeah, recovering, a little sore but nothing crippling. I'm sure I'll be okay, electricity kinda sucks.

[He's looking over himself at the skin that's slowly going back to the way it was.]

If it's still like this in a few days I'll come to you for help and advice.

You don't have to or anything. Knowing my luck, I'd probably tell you the wrong thing to do anyway.

[She laughs, shaking her head.]

Sorry you got shocked, though. I was lucky enough to get the one that tried taking me over out all on my own.

Pfft, like I'd know either way.

Nice one.

It was awful. [She frowns, pinching at her lips.]

But it wasn't something all that new. I've had someone take over my body twice before, so... [Yeah. She's got experience with this sort of thing.]

You have? How did you...I mean, wow.

How did you stop it this time? Unless you...just want to get on.

Thing is, I'm not too sure? I just...refused to let it be there, I wasn't gonna be someone else's puppet. Not again.

[He's quiet for a while and she wouldn't be blamed for thinking he'd disconnected. But eventually he gives a huff of laughter.]

I get that, I do. I tried to do that but it...it didn't work.

[She pulls a face, a ridiculous one that's trying to make light of the situation although that's probably not what either of them need. She just hates to think he's being hard on himself or anything.]

Just lucky, I guess. Or prepared for anything, maybe? I've got experience in dealing with these things, remember? Next time, you'll definitely be the same way.

I guess having experience does make it easier. [He never thought about it before and maybe if a Lex shows up, he'll be prepared and have the experience to shove it off.]

Hopefully. Uh, we haven't spoken before, have we?

Don't think so, no. I'm Rose Tyler. Sorry, should've said that first thing.

No worries, shoulda intro'd myself as well. Kon-El by the way. Or just Kon, that's kinda better.

Right then, just Kon. It's good to meet you. Maybe I'll see you around sometime? [It'd be nice to make more friends in this place.]

You can totally count on it. You seem like a cool person.
