THE APOCALYPSE

This is your IC Threadpost.

Please keep things labelled with character names in the subject line.

I'll be doing a few subheaders. Pre fight, Battle, Hellbound and Aftermath. Tag into any of these and if you want another subthread made ask me or MJ so it looks all tidy and whatnot.

Go forth and thread mah lovelies

I'm also gonna suggest cutting comms from the battle to the aftermath down to bare mimimum communications while the main battle threads go on to keep it a little bit real time. If you have to for time constraint reasons please mark it post battle

Re: Open to Kon

Kon was having a hard time focusing on any one task long enough to make it really worth while. He wanted to be out fighting, he kept his ears open trying to hear for things, but all he was getting was the sounds of war. Sounds of the fight all mixing together. He wasn't yet skilled enough to separate the two, but he tried.

He was pacing when Lois approached. So far things at the Roadhouse were quiet, but who knew how long that would last. He was more anxious than he'd ever been for any battle ever. He had no idea how to make this work. If they did get attacked how was he supposed to defend them? He spent his time listening for familiar heart beats, but they all sounded virtually the same. He couldn't figure out which one belonged to which person until they came right up to him. In battle that wasn't going to be very effective.

He frowned and stopped to lean against the bar near by. His arms folded tensely. He didn't need to see to know someone approached though, and then the voice of course followed.

"Yep awesome." Krypto was off harassing Tim, being a general pain.

"Sarcasm. My most favorite of answers." She almost rolled her eyes at him, but remembered that the effect wouldn't have as much meaning considering he wouldn't have been able to see it.

She shifted Aislinn in her arms, adjusting her onto her other hip as she looked him over, trying to ascertain anything else about his mood aside from the fact that he seemed to be feeling useless. Which considering he usually was out there in the thick of it she understood him feeling that way.

"Can you hear anything?" Out of any of them he had the best chance of knowing if something was about to attack. Sight or no sight.

She glanced toward the window, having deliberately keeping away from them for fear of something breaking through them and hurting Aislinn. How the hell did Emma do this? This constant worry that something would come along--Apocalypse or not--and hurt the little girl? The constant worry that anything could happen and she'd no longer be there.

Maybe it was just the Apocalypse that was making her feel more worried than normal because she'd never felt this way when she took Aislinn for a day here and there for godmommy and Aislinn time. Never really feared anything could happen to the little girl when they'd spent time together and now it was all she could think of. Partially because Emma was trusting in her.

But also because Emma apparently thought she could raise the kids if anything did happen to her and Graham and that was definitely throwing Lois for a loop.

He didn't give her his usual sassy looks of annoyance at her retort, he couldn't. He didn't look at her at all. The loss of his sight had effected his confidence. He was so used to being able to fight off anything, or at least if he couldn't he could be cocky enough that he could. He had a feeling not even the baby in Lois's arms would believe him if he started being over confident now. He just didn't have it in him. He wasn't trying to be defeatist, but he wasn't feeling very confident that anything was about to change either. He'd been to the sun and back a few times and still couldn't see. Now the apocalypse was literally ontop of them and he couldn't be out there where he belonged.

"I hear everything, and none of it makes any sense. It all just runs together." He sighed in frustration. The expression on his face didn't change, but the tone in his voice did. He was having difficulty accepting what had happened. He was upset much of the time these days. It wasn't like most of them weren't what with the nightmares and sleeplessness, but he felt powerless on top of it. That was not a fun feeling for someone used to the idea of being a weapon. He was stuck babysitting Jesse and the others at the roadhouse, and he was probably being a sucky one at that. If anything came their way he didn't even know if he could hear it properly.

"Just figures." He said off handedly. Not bothering to elaborate. He'd been there for so long and when it finally came down to the end he couldn't hardly take part. That was just his luck. Clark had tried to tell him it had nothing to do with luck, but in that moment he wasn't feeling it. He still felt pretty damn unlucky.

Kon had been pretty quiet while they waited for whatever was about to happen, to happen. What else could he say? Anything out of his mouth was going to be full of bitter, so he figured it was better he just stayed quiet. They had enough to worry about than his attitude or feelings. The war was just a bit more important. "I tried the heart beat thing..it backfired."

"You need to focus on one thing, Kon. Forget trying to hear everyone. Practice on just one heartbeat. Focus on just one person's breath. Your senses are all out of whack and not used to missing one vital one. Try not to over do it." She could understand his frustration though. He was used to being out on the forefront of any fight and suddenly he was benched. And not just benched but unable to help in any way that he was used to doing.

She didn't quite know how to help him with that. It was a confidence thing that he needed to work on...and if this was permanent--something she truly hoped wasn't the case--he'd really need to learn how to adapt to it. "Maybe try working on yours only. Just hearing your own heartbeat. Your own breath. Try and focus on that outside of everything else that's happening."

Especially since things were pretty quiet. Which was strange and making her wary, but it might be the only time he had to practice for awhile.

"Harder to do when I can't see it." He said with a slight scowl, but it was true. When he couldn't see what was ahead of him it was hard to focus on any one thing. He didn't know how dolphins did it. Somehow they managed to focus in the black of the ocean on objects ahead, but Kon didn't have echo location..or did he? Maybe there was a way to use TTK like echo location. Project outward and see objects. "I'm trying." He was angry. Had all kinds of pent up energy and no direction to take it out on. "I let them down." It was hard not to feel guilt over everything.

He knew what Emma had said that there were all kinds of factors, but he blamed himself. He hated himself for it really. In his eyes there was no one else to blame, and he almost felt like he had no right to even say anything anymore.

He'd never been a fast learner when it came to his powers, but maybe when one was out the others would pick up the slack. Clark said something similar to that. Or maybe that. He couldn't remember. Everything had been a giant roller coaster of not so fun when he'd been injured. He didn't know how to adapt to it, and forcing it didn't seem to work either. "This is all just.." He didn't even have a word to describe how hurt he was aside from "bullshit."

But then he was quiet, trying to take the suggestion. He was just afraid of it backfiring especially while Clark was out. In the Fortress it'd meant a whole new level of pain and discomfort. One he'd nearly lost control of his other senses for.

One heart. His own. Steady beat.

Two.

Three. Four. Five.

His brows furrowed uncomfortably as they all surrounded him and closed in. "Stop!" He slammed a palm down at the edge of the bar and it splintered, but he was quiet again. One beat.

His own.

Two, his and Lois.

He could only hold it a few minutes longer before it threatened to pile up again, but the point was it wasn't impossible. "Two."

Lois watched him, noting the frustration and how he managed to get that under control after a point. The fact Kon had kept at it was really good. Too often he might have given up after the initial frustration, no doubt worried he might hurt someone, but he'd kept going. And he was doing it.

"Keep practicing," she murmured, placing a hand on his shoulder and giving it a gentle squeeze. "It's going to be rough but I'm right here. Tim's right here and we'll help you through this."

He frowned a little at her, but nodded. This entire thing was out of his comfort zone. Not that war was really in anyones, but normally he could see. Normally he could be on the front lines and be of use to anyone. Now though he couldn't even see his own feet and it was damn frustrating. He was trying to keep positive, but with so much negativity going around it was difficult. Even Robin started to lose it, and that worried him. Kon hadn't ever seen that man come so close to giving up hope. He sorta figured that was what Robin was all about, hope where there was none. If he gave up hope, then how much of it was there left?

Connor had tried to keep him distracted and positive as well, but he was finding it more and more difficult. Had it not been for Lucifer it was possible he'd have been able to cope easier, but he felt like he'd let everyone down. Days had turned into an entire week. He'd discovered what cold meant, and he didn't like it but he learned. He learned to dress warmer in a short time, so maybe he could even adapt to this blindness thing, At least he hadn't run into anything today, but he had also been mostly hanging out around the bar and refusing to go very far.

"I've been trying this sorta..TTK echo location thing out too." He couldn't see them, he wanted to hug them properly. Or hell even cling onto Lois for a good few hours, but there wasn't time for it. "Already is rough." He added in a sort of cranky tone. "I want to go back to Connors." He admitted, but he knew he couldn't leave. Even if he was given the option, he wouldn't.
