She had essentially "raped" (and not really, but you get what I mean) someone who she had thought was a traitor,
I feel like rape is an accurate work to use; especially in the context of what she did to Conner, actually.
Then she realized that BECAUSE she didn't care and had no problem with doing something like that, that THAT was why Superboy broke up with her; because she had no compunction over doing something that heinous. And she UNDERSTOOD why he left. After Artemis left, M'Gann was too afraid to even do something as simple to her as breathing by going through the locked door, and it's because she was afraid that she'd lose control and do something that terrible all over again.
*nods*
It's wonderful because that reaction has been repeated; remember her reaction after failsafe? She refused to use the majority of her powers then, for a bit, too, but she always goes back to using her powers but doesn't take the time to deal with the issues of control that she actually needs to deal with.
Gods, do I want fanfic now where she and Superboy talk about the mission and what happened to her and everything.
