Title: A Mystery To Be Solved
Characters: Kon-El, Lar Gand


"You aren't as eager to go back as I expected," Lar observed, looking at Kon like he was a mystery to solve.

"Yeah, well, you're here." Kon bumped him with his shoulder.

Lar smiled, but asked, "And?"

"And," Kon echoed, looking away, "I kinda -- this will sound weird."

Lar spread his hands invitingly, and Kon leaned into him.

"I promised someone I would take care of the Legion for him. Before I met the Legion, actually." He glanced up at Lar's face, and then plucked at the costume Andy had given him. "He dressed like this, about my age, said he was... Superboy."

He was surprised when Lar wrapped him in a hug, bowing over him to press his face into Kon's neck. He was more surprised that Lar was crying.

Finally, the Daxamite, pulled back enough to give him an achingly sad smile.

"You are the only other person who remembers him," Lar croaked, and wiped at his eyes.

"You mean he was real?"

Lar nodded. "Let me tell you about... my brother."
