[ Unlike Superman, who can't fathom the minds of Lex Luthor and the like. It isn't a difficulty he particularly wants to overcome, yet, looking at Prime, he knows what someone like him--he--could do. While far from understanding, it's not like he can forget about it, and it makes the cracks in that foundation feel like a gaping chasm. How to fill and fix them--? ]

You can work on that, too.

[ It's hard not to say 'we' when that's how Clark often argues, but equally as difficult to make himself look at Prime and think it, still. And then he's just thankful for the change in tone invited by him. ]

Right. But Prime-- [ Of course, there's another but. ] --heroes also listen to what others want. You can be determined, but if someone needs more time, that's it.

[They all have their niches; it's probably better that way. The world needs more people like Superman than it needs folks like Prime.

I suppose. I wasn't always...like that, you know. [ Not so messed up, he means, but having your whole universe destroyed and then being trapped in limbo for an eternity with a Luthor for company does things to someone's sanity.

That's ok too; Prime isn't Clark's problem or responsibility, and just talking helps enough. He wants to argue that with all the retcons and changes, most of the people he once killed are once again alive, but he knows now that it's not a very good argument.]

'Don't be pushy', got it. I think I will manage. What's the worst that could happen that hasn't happened yet, anyway?
