5. [Video] - Backdated to after his audience

[It isn't raining and his clothes are also wet, so it couldn't be due to having a shower, however Kon is dripping wet and he looks annoyed. Not at the fact he's wet, but at something else. Or maybe someone because he's staring angrily at the console and his jaw looks clenched tightly. He's not making this private, or asking to see people, he's about to blow and his blood is boiling.]

Let me tell you all straight up that that guy you know? The one with the lame ass jeans and t-shirt uniform? That guy is not me! That guy is an idiot, he's nothing like me.

[Kon has seen what has to apparently come in his future and he doesn't like it. He's pushed out with his TTK and a few things are knocked off the desk and from a small table in the background.]

You all kept things from me. You all lied to me. Why? Aw little Kon-El, let's not tell him anything about the big bad future. Did you not trust me to know this stuff? Is that it?

I know everything.

This is Clark. He's not good at telling people anything substantive about his family. [She rolls her eyes. She's been on the other end of that before.]

I didn't say anything because, well, this is his mess to clean up--like with Kara. I'm sorry if that's made it harder for you. As far as Clark goes, I suspect he didn't really know where to begin. [Her tone, however, makes it clear that as much as she loves him she doesn't excuse him, as it's now hurt someone.] Probably because of the history you two have.

No, I didn't expect you to like, tell me or something. [He takes a moment as he lets that just sink in and actually process what she's saying. He knows that from where he is, they have such a rocky relationship for the most part. He chews on his bottom lip and puts his hands behind his back.]

I guess. I mean...I suppose it isn't easy for everyone else either.

[wherethestoryis]

No. Family makes everyone stupid. [She sighs.]

Maybe he didn't want you to wonder what it was you needed to do to get that acceptance sooner rather than later--especially as it wasn't about you to begin with.

[But now he is wondering. He won't act on anything because of the fact that here they seem to be okay.]

I don't mean it in a sorta attention seeking way, but I thought it was. I mean, I knew he was pissed at CADMUS for making me so I always figured it was at me as well. Man, nothing is ever easy or straight forward. Girls, Supes...the future, it's all confusing.
