I like Cassie in this chapter, but at the same time you can tell she's not quite getting how invested Kon already is in the problem; she seems to think he's just airing grievance with the injustice of it. I'd be willing to bet that she still sees the relationship between her in Kon as having her be the more political, radical activist one and him being the brash, big-hearted guy who isn't sure how to save the world when it doesn't involve punching. And there's something to that, sure -- you have him acknowledge that himself, earlier -- but the hell of it is, that's kind of soemthing that happened when he became part of the team.
Also, I heart smart Bart! I loved Impulse -- the character and the comic about him -- but it does make sense that, once he really realized the world is way more complicated than any video game, ever, Bart would become the super-engaged person he has. Not bad for someone who's maybe about seven, and hasn't been born yet. You know if something like this had come up when he was going to school in Manchester, he'd have done the same patrolling-surveillance as Kon. He hates bullying. Go Bart!
