[Who’s got two thumbs and a smile that looks more like rigor mortis as soon as Dixon suggest Kon’s his son? This guy. Look, they had… issues to work through before they knew Lex was the other donor, and even more afterwards. Kal never asked for a clone, and Kon was thrown at him like a curveball he had no choice of caching so thinking of him as his son… it just makes his brain short circuit for a second.]

That’s… it’s complicated, and not my story to explain. [Absolutely not telling people he just met that Kon’s a clone, that’s up to him to tell.] But he’s more like a brother to me.

But if it helps, this? [He motions at the s-shield on his chest, the grin slowly turning more natural again as he speaks..] This isn’t just because I’m a fan. Not that I have any way to prove it.
