#kon el and Janet illegal combo they’re gonna ruin Tim mentally#esp if they find out abt Tim begin robin at different times#scenario 1. kon knows Janet doesn’t. kon is being insufferable abt it and Tim is plotting to kill him actively at the dinner table#scenario 2. Janet knows kon doesn’t but Janet probably wouldn’t realise that kon doesn’t know and there’s just a series of near misses (via @roseandgold137)

#The potential in this for Kon to corner Tim and go “your mom is WORRIED about you! >:(” because Janet confided in him about Tim disappearing#at odd hours is actually so incredibly compelling to me. He doesn't know much about his besties son#but she thinks that because they're#Close In Age Kon can get through to Tim before he starts idk dealing joker gas or something.#I need Janet to gift him a pair of pearl earrings to wear. like a friendship bracelet.

YEAH!!! YOU GUYS GET IT.

i think tim hides it from janet longer because we know he wants to tell his team, but just can't. but sins of youth still goes down. so him getting permission to unmask and show them his real face when he's already met kon as "kon's friend's janet's son" is like... well now kon will know, but tim won't have told him. holy loophole, batman! (tim is very smug.)

that being said the actual unmasking moment IS funny because kon goes OHHH SHIIIIITTTTTT?????????? and everyone is staring at him. tim is glaring at him like don't fuck this up don't fuck this up do NOT fuck this up. and then he has to frantically backpedal like haaahahaa yeah i'm just THAT upset about losing my bet to cassie. yeah. don't read into this

but now kon understands why his bestie janet is often worried about her son being out at odd hours or not seeming well-rested enough and sleeping all over the place, and once kon asked her what was wrong because she was very troubled and she said she was probably imagining things, but she could have sworn tim had a bad bruise on his face he tried to cover up with makeup before he left the house this morning, and she's not sure what to do...

...which also brings me to the delightfully OUGH thought of kon trying to be like dude you should talk to your mom :O and tim being like. you think i haven't thought of that??? i WANT to but i CAN'T. and kon's like but... she's your mom. she's worried about you! and tim, fifteen and so prickly because this is one of his sore spots, is just like. i KNOW. what would YOU know? you don't even HAVE a mom.

he regrets it the second it comes out of his mouth but uh oh! whoops! kon's staring at him like he's just slapped him across the face and oh no! that's the thing he's sensitive about! but he doesn't get the chance to apologize because kon just yeets away. oops!

im ALSO thinking tho that this changes so much of the owaw stuff because if kon already knows tim's identity before then, it's far less likely their fight on apokolips would happen. they MIGHT still get stranded bc kon wants to save steel, but... hmmm. hmhmmhmm!!

my toxic trait is that every time i have a fic idea that doesn't involve kon, my brain immediately goes "but wouldn't it be even better if kon was there??" and i mean it's right. every time. thus is the curse of having a favorite character
