Hayley watches his face and can tell he's less than pleased by the memories. It's not enough. She can't begin to recognize to what extent they may have hurt her friends - when she did come to have so many of them? - or how badly Jor-El feels. She'll have to resort to asking with plain candor.
"Did they die?" Her expression tightens in anticipation of his answer, hands falling to her lap. Because she can't contain herself, she adds, "Please. Bart won't talk about it and I don't know if it's because he doesn't want to remember or he's worried I'll do something or maybe he's stupidly trying to protect me again, but I need to know what happened to them."
While some part of her is aware of the fact that she definitely cares more for Bart's safety and well being than pretty much anyone else on the turtle right now, Kon is family to the two former monsters and that makes it even worse for him than for anyone else.
Somehow, in spite of everything, she and Kon are kind of friends now. He gave her a chance and understood when it seemed like no one else did and, like Bruce, that means something to her. She can only hope to do the same for him sometime.
