Heiji wasn't the only one incredibly upset about the turn of events. After getting a quick briefing from another kidnappee, Kon had immediately torn out of his house with his own vidscreen. It wasn't unusual for him to get mixed up with weird stuff - it kind of came with the territory of being Superman's kid - but it was unusual for him to not be the only one.

Having immediately picked up another person's voice - and boy was it loud - Kon ran to meet it. Screeching to a halt, he pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and offered Heiji a smile.

"It'd be a really stupid joke if it were," Kon agreed. "But I think we're legitimately been kidnapped for other purposes."
