Karyn had gone home, after Jon failed to return. She still needed to study and figured she may as well do it at her own house. She spent the rest of the night trying to remember dates for World War II, and different cities in France and Germany where these stupid battles had taken place. It was nearing midnight when she heard the knock on her window and almost fell off her bed in shock.
"Kara?!" she chirped as she realized her super powered friend was floating outside her second story window.
"Karyn, let me in, please." the boy said softly. Karyn slid the window open, and Jon floated into the room, still wearing the silly one piece white costume and red cape. He sat on her bed, with his legs bent inward, knees touching as he looked over to her.
"What's up?" Karyn asked, still upset that he had ditched her and never come back.
"Karyn, I have a problem." he said, on the verge of tears.
"Yeah? Why don't you fly over and punch it then, Supergirl?" Karyn said snarkily.
"Karyn, Seriously." he was about to cry, she could tell, and that softened her resolve as she sat next to him on the bed and put an arm around the boy. "I'm a boy." he said.
"Yeah, duh." she couldn't help herself.
"But... I want to dress like a girl."
"I can tell."
"But, I like being a boy, I still like girls... like... a lot. But I kinda want to look pretty... like a girl..." he was starting to freak out, she could tell.
"Kara... why have you never told me this? I'm your best friend, I would have supported you no matter what." She was a little hurt that he had never shared this desire with him.
"No, Karyn," he said, tears welling up in his eyes. "This only started today, after that stupid wish."
"Oh." she was concerned now.
"Karyn. I can't live like this. Something needs to be done!" tears running down his face, Karyn knew she had to help him.
"What do you want me to do, Kara?" she wanted to help him, to fix this "You want me to make a wish for you, I will."
"Karyn I don't know how to fix it." he said "Look, I love the feeling of being pretty, and I want people to appreciate how I look." he motioned to his costume "I want people to see me as the beautiful and powerful woman that I am." he was confusing his pronouns, and that was confusing Karyn "But I still want to be the red blooded boy I've always been. I like girls, I don't want to be one."
"Jesus, Kara." Karyn said "What the hell am I supposed to do?"
"I don't know Karyn, I thought that I could be a normal boy at home, and a Super Woman when I'm helping people, but the thought of walking around in stupid boy clothes is repulsive to me, It'd feel wrong. The I thought I could be a fashionable young woman in my every day life, and a Super Boy on the job... But I like this costume, It feels right, even if I don't have what it takes to fill the boob window."
Karyn thought for a moment before she had an idea.
"Kara... what if...."
