[ Jon can't fathom it and he stares at that message at a loss. Doesn't need a Superman. Surely that's not true. He finds his breath coming in quicker and tries to squash the uncertain panic rising up in him. ]
[ And as much as Damian drives Jon up the wall, the promise of freedom, of being able to choose who he wants to be means a lot. Jon just wished he understood what it meant for him. ]

Re: [ text ]
I got it.
Who all did you give it to?
no subject
Lois has one too.
no subject
Does this mean you're gonna be Superman in the city?
no subject
[ Clark prefers being just another alien. He was forced out on Earth before he was ready and in Riverview he has time to figure himself out.
He can be Superman again when he goes home prepared. ]
no subject
Does that mean I can't be Superboy?
no subject
If there's a need for Superman he'll be there. In the meantime, he's Kal the alien. ]
Did your father give you a Kryptonian name?
no subject
And I'm not fully Kryptonian anyway. I can't speak it and I don't know anything about it.
no subject
I don't see why you can't go by Superboy.
[ It's not like Superman is a name nobody knows. Clark would answer honestly if anyone had really asked.
No one did so no one knows about Superman aside from those who already did. ]
People know the S.

no subject
Are you planning to go on any missions?
[ He doesn't expect Jon to be a normal boy and he's not willing to coop him up the way his own father was paranoid for Clark's safety.
It's not the same here. ]
no subject
Not on my own . . . right?
no subject
Clark can't stop worrying. It keeps him up sometimes. ]
Not yet. If you go want to go with someone, just tell me or Lois who they are.
[ Jon knows to call for him if he's really in trouble. ]
no subject
I promise.
Maybe . . . we can do a mission together sometime?
[ Jon's father did take him at times, though when it got bad, he would make Jon promise to stay back. ]
no subject
We can start whenever you want.

What kind of mission? Monsters? Dinosaurs? We fought dinosaurs once! And a giant squid!
no subject
Tell me all about it over dinner.
We'll find something to do, I promise.
no subject
Okay, let me know! I've got my costume and everything!
