GIRL, WHAT IS HAPPENING? I went away for a few days, and there’s already some kind of horror and Cirque Du Soleil here. Why Nya betrayed Jon? The death of Jay's mother, etc. What is going on?!😭

A LOT has happened. It started off horrible and it's going to get worse.

Okay, to summarize the best I can:

Nia was forced to work with the Sucide Squad by Amanda Waller. She threatened that Parthas, Nia's hometown, will be doxxed. Parthas has been a secret to the rest of the world for years, housing primarily alien refugees who had nowhere else to go, for fear of being kicked out if they were found out. Nia joins Waller primarily to protect Parthas, but she isn't being given the full information that Waller wants to take over Gamorra through her new mission to the Suicide Squad. Amanda doxxes Parthas even when Nia was mostly complying, and Nia fully abandons Gamorra to go protect Parthas. She has a tendency, as Amanda says, to defend and do anything if it means protecting the people she loves, even at the cost of others. This leads to a series of escalating events where she plays a part on getting the Suicide Squad into Gamorra, who then killed Jay's mom, and led to the take-over of Gamorra. People had warned her, repeatedly, to not help her at the start but she's just fully trapped. She essentially picked Parthas over Gamorra, valuing their lives lesser.

Amanda is now fully controlling Nia by putting those head-bomb things in Nia's dad and sister, threatening to kill those two if Nia dares to step out of line. Which is how Waller is forcing Nia to be the one to bring Jay into custody, possibly to trap Jon.

You can catch up on all of this reading these in this order:

Titans: Beast World: Tour: Metropolis

Action Comics #1060(a back-up issue)

Suicide Squad: Dream Team #1-4

Absolute Power: Ground Zero (coming soon on the 25th of June, so coming tuesday as of me posting this)- the previews for this are out on AIPT, or over here on Bleeding Cool. It's freaking heartbreaking seeing what happens to Jay like I cannot handle it.

There's been a bunch of covers where it looks like Jon is hooked up to a bunch of cables and machines- it's because Waller needs a power source for a machine that can steal anyone's powers, and the prevalent theory is Jon is that source. The previews for Absolute Power: Ground Zero suggest she's going to get Jon by leveraging him with Jay. So. Fun times!
