[Welcome to associating with bats, bud. Paranoia is a built in part of the process, and Jason’s nothing if not a big old tangle of trust issues. Lets be real—this whole adhoc house call from a near-stranger is making him twitchy enough as-is. He tips his head toward a cabinet.]
Bottom left door.
[In the kitchen for easy cleanup when things get messy. Bottom row to keep in reach on a particularly bad day. The whole stash seems recently used but generously stocked. So maybe this is one of the places he crashes more often than not.
He’s also always been touchy about his personal space. And he’s very deeply aware, as Prime reaches for his wrist, that a Kryptonian could easily up and pulverize the little bones there just by twitching too hard. (Break it with a twist. Tear the whole arm out at the socket by way of a badly-timed sneeze. You know. The works.)
But since kneejerking is, in fact, kind of what got him into this situation, he makes the counterintuitive decision to keep obstinately still. Schools down the impulse to jerk back immediately, though he definitely tenses. Drops his good hand down to the table, sits up straight. Watching sharply, like he’s poised to react as soon as something seems fishy.
His reflexes still try to twitch away, a little, at the cold. Fingers curling protectively in on reflex and sending sparks of fresh hurt stabbing up his nerves as the bruising and the broken bones remember to assert themselves, and the simmering ache sparks back up into real pain. (Ow.)
His jaw shifts, teeth pressing tense, goosebumps crawling up his arms at the sudden cold, nausea creeping up his spine. Not wrong, though. Some ice will get the swelling down, and it’s this or the freezerburned peas in his temperamental fridge, and he’s not even actually all that sure his freezer is working, right now.]
Oh, yeah, great cover. No way they’ll ever figure that one out.
[Doesn’t take a genius to go from CK to Clark Kent if they’re already suspicious. But look, there’s plenty of people named Clark in the world. Whatever. He’s just being difficult.]
