In some ways it was a good thing that Kon wasn't looking at her, because Cassie had no idea what was showing on her face. She could barely even parse what she was feeling, everything was roiling and twisting together like a hydra in a pot of boiling water.
How could they have done this to him? How could anyone do this to someone? How dare they do this to him?
For a moment, clear and slick and shining, Cassie wanted nothing more in the multiverse than to be at the heart of Project Gladiator. She would kill them with her bare hands. She would rend their limbs from their bodies and their heads from their shoulders. She would tear Luthor's ears and eyes from his head and break every single one of his bones, she would personally test exactly how invulnerable Spence was before throwing her into the sun, and she would do so with a song in her heart and a smile on her lips. They would beg for death long before she let them have its mercy, and she would go on bended knee before Hades and Persephone to beg for the boon of being permitted to make them suffer longer.
The moment passed and she reached out to pull Kon into her arms, cradling him against her chest and stroking his hair.
"I love you," she whispered, her voice strained and trembling as she delved through her emotions for the ones that would most help him. She dropped a kiss on his hairline.
