Kon El: That cannot be. Why would I be the last? What do men know? Because they have seen no Kryptonians for a while does not mean that we have all vanished! We do not vanish! There has never been a time without Kryptonians. We live forever. We are as old as the sky, old as the moon. We can be hunted, trapped; we can even be killed if we leave our homes, but we do not vanish! ...Am I truly the last?

Kon El: I can never regret. I can feel sorrow, but it's not the same thing.

Billy Batson: Where will you go now?

Kon El: I am looking for others like me. Have you seen them, magician.

Billy Batson: No, I've never seen anyone like you. Not while I was awake, anyway.

Kon El: A person told me of a Red Bull, who pushed all the other Kryptonians to the ends of the earth. And Klarion spoke of a King Jack Drake. So I'm going where they are, to learn whatever they know.

Billy Batson: Take me with you, for lucks, for laughs, for the unknown.

Kon El: You may come with me if you like, though I wish you'd asked for some other reward for having freed me.

Billy Batson: Well, I thought about it, but you could never have granted my true wish.

Kon El: No. I cannot turn you into something you are not. I cannot turn you into a true magician.

Billy Batson: That's all right, don't worry about it.

Bart Allen (to Billy Batson): What have you done?

(Holds up the head of a human boy. A mark that looks like a star is on his forehead.)

Bart Allen: What have you done? What have you done!?

Billy Batson: The Red Bull came for a Kryptonian, so he had to become something else. The magic chose the shape, not I. I am a bearer! I am a dwelling! I am a messenger!

Bart Allen: You are an idiot! Do you hear me? You lost him! You trapped him in a human body! He'll go mad!

(Conner begins to stir. He wakes up, and tries to stand.)

Billy Batson: I can change him back. Don't worry about it. I-I can change him back.

Conner: What have you done to me?

Billy Batson: (to the Conner) You see, I couldn't think of anything else I could do to save you.

Conner: What have you done to me? I'm a Kryptonian! I'm a Kryptonian!

Conner: I wish you had let the Red Bull take me. I wish you had left me to the harpy! I can feel this body dying all around me!

King Jack Drake: Who is he!?

Billy Batson: Oh, your majesty, the Sir Conner is my brother-

King Jack Drake: I want to know who he is!

Prince Tim: Father, what difference does it make? He's here!

King Jack Drake (looks at Tim): For once, you are right. He is here. They are all here. And whether they mean my doom or not, I will look at them for while. You may come and go as you please. My secrets guard themselves. Will yours do the same? (Walks off)

Prince Tim (to Conner): Say, I know where there's some cloth, fine satin. We could make a tunic.

Conner: Bart? ...Who am I? Why am I here? What is it that I am seeking in this strange place, day after day? I-I knew a moment ago, but I-I have forgotten.

Bart Allen: The Kryptonians. If you are not the last...

Conner: Once, I can't remember, I was long ago, Someone strange, I was innocent and wise, And full of pain. Now that I'm a man, Everything is strange.

Conner: I must go to him. I must face the Bull again and discover what he has done with them, before I forget myself forever. But I don't know where to find him. And I'm lonely.

(Conner, in his nightgown, comes down the other side of the steps, a mad and frightened look in his eyes.)

Prince Tim: Good evening, Sir Conner.

Conner: Who are you?

Prince Tim: I'm Tim. Don't you know me? I'm Tim.

Conner: Tim. Prince Tim.

Prince Tim: You were dreaming, Sir.

Conner: Well, I'm always dreaming, even when I'm awake. It is never finished. I-I will not trouble you, my lord prince. (He begins to walk away hurriedly.)

Prince Tim: Trouble me! Please, trouble me! I would court you with more grace if I knew how. I wish you wanted something.

Conner: Drown out my dreams. Keep me from remembering - whatever wants me to remember it.

‎‧₊˚✧ 𓃗 ✧˚₊‧

Billy Batson: There's no choice. We have to go on.

Conner: (to Tim) Don't let him change me. The Red Bull has no care for human beings. Tim, we may walk out past him and get away.

Billy Batson: If we do that, all the Kryptonians in the world will remain prisoner forever except one, and he will grow old and die.

Conner: (to Tim) Everything dies. I want to die when you die. I'm no Kryptonian, no alien creature! I'm human, and I love you. Don't let him! Tim, I can not be with you when I am a Kryptonian.

Kon El (voice only) I remember you. I remember.

(Tim sees him fly away from them.)

(Scene: A forest. Billy and Bart are with Tim.)

Prince Tim: I will miss you. I never had any friends before. (Hugs each one.)

Billy Batson: We will come back.

Prince Tim: I wish I could see him just once more, to - to tell him all that's in my heart. He will never know what I really meant to say.

Billy Batson: He will remember your heart when men are fairy tales in books written by rabbits. Of all Kryptonians, he is the only one who knows what regret is - and love.

(Tim gets on his horse and rides away.)

Kon El: You are a true wizard now, as you always wished. Does it make you happy?

Billy Batson: Well, men don't always know when they're happy, but I-I think so. And you?

Kon El: I am a little afraid to go home. I have been mortal, and some part of me is mortal yet. I am no longer like the others; for no Kryptonian was ever born who could regret. But now I do. I regret.

Billy Batson: I am sorry, I have done you evil and I cannot undo it.

Kon El: No. Kryptonians are in the world again. No sorrow will live in me as long as that joy - save one, and I thank you for that part too. Farewell, good magician. I will try to go home.
