No, but it was a focused effort on their part. They were hiveminde-y, or wanting to be one anyway. I'm a specialized hivemindey telepath with nanotech for data store and processing in my spine, so, if anything, it's more my shit that they were into anyway.
[ not just a shift then. those impulses were there all along.
kell-el was never experimented on. tested, sure. his parents made sure he had to be battle ready, but they never hurt him. never did anything kell didn't volunteer for.
(Not that he processes feelings well or anything, but you know. While she's nonchalant about it, there's no happy way to talk or hear about this situation.
I guess it's weird to think I had a better life than most people. Sure, there was the war and end of the world stuff . . . but no one I knew ever treated me poorly.
Oh. That. Yeah. I mean, you got your problems, we got ours. Ours is more 'we all hate mutants because they're all dangerous, let's do something about it', and yours is more death, destruction, gloom, war, maniac man.
But even my creator — They never put me through anything like that. They could have.
[ and that's why terra-man existed. even now kell can't help but wonder. did they think he was too weak? or they just didn't want that blood on his hands? ]
They . . . called me their son. It was the last thing they said. Before the universe collapsed.
