[ Mistakes don't cost as much in Riverview. ]

I've extended Taako an open invitation. He already knows. We can practice for someone who doesn't.

I wanted to ask. How come you told him?

I didn't want a friend I had to lie to.

[ Oh. And isn't Jon completely familiar with that? ]

I lost control of my powers and I accidentally killed Goldie. Mom's cat. I broke my promise and I felt like a liar. I felt like I forced you and mom to lie for me because you had to take care of me. Protect me.

[ Clark takes a while to send a reply. He feels like it should be said in-person but he wants Jon to be able to read this whenever he wants to and be reminded that he's loved. ]

The same thing happened to me when I was your age. Jon, you deserve to be normal as much as anyone else. Your powers are a gift. It'll take time to learn how to use them responsibly.

I can't speak for your father. I know that if you're my son from my timeline, then we made the right choice to protect you until you're ready.

It will be hard. I can live with that if it means you're safe.

I like being normal. But I also like being super. Like you. And I'm going to work at it until you're proud of me.

[ He's already proud. ]

Hope you like your pencils.

They're awesome. Thanks dad.

Though maybe it's a big giveaway if I use them in school.

[signifies]

You can keep them to look at or use them at home.

[supersweet]

I'll use them ALL the time.

[signifies]

I'm glad you like them <3

Of course. You got them for me.
