Wait, so Kon has been in the Legion comic too this whole time? I think you made it worse, DX. My brain is sprained.
Does anybody mind if I pass out?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Time is a tricky thing. My old fanwank on all the time Clark and Kara spent with the Legion was that maybe Kryptonians age slower than humans, so all those two week trips to the future helped them appear to age at an Earth-normal rate. Not that that applies to Kon...

Thrive to spite them
My reaction to Teen Titans was
the hell?? I was so confused. Plus I wasn't sure if I should be groaning at all the Legionaire's code names. I mean really, do they all need to be Whatever Boy???
Astonishing Colossus!!!! Loved the looks on their faces when they saw him behind the alien dude who's name Ihaven't bothered to remember. Loved his reaction of "Is that dragon behind me?" Plus Cyclops' uniform delusion.

Art Crawl!!!
Yes -- I loved that in Astounishing too.
The Flash left me very confused. Okay in IC they showed Barry Allen at his wife Iris' grave. And now she is alive? Help!
Also, Roy couldn't find somebody NOT related to a super-villain to babysit? Come on!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
As confusing as Teen Titans is, the explanation is even more confusing. Meep!

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Sumi, Iris Allen-West, the once deceased wife of Barry Allen, AKA the Flash, was murdered way back in the silver age, except that she was actually from the 30th century, and so was rescued and revived at last minute but, for various reasons, had to stay there. Eventually, Barry joined her there for a while, before biting the big one to save the universe. Bart Allen--Impulse--is her and Barry's grandson.
She came back to the present eventually for various Bart-related reasons other people can explain better than me.

Ah, yes. Another explanation that MAKES NO SENSE. Comic logic is insane troll logic, isn't it?
I'm avoiding thinking about the Teen Titans explanation because I don't want my head to spin, but are they launching a new book in about future Teen Titans?

He's calling himself Kid Flash now, right?

Didn't they do that already?
