Superman here.

[The voice Kal uses is definitely Superman's. Now that he's got (most of, he notices these things) powers back he doesn't really feel like hiding.]

And I'd like to say this kind of situation is why I suggested training for those metahumans who wanted it. Not to train an army, just to help out. It'd both avoid situations like the one in the clinic and to ensure everyone who didn't have any metahuman ability would be less ready to jump on a kid who was pulling a prank.

Just because some of us have abilities that could be dangerous doesn't mean we are going to use them. Please let's not turn this into a witch-hunt, I've seen enough of those and they never end well for either party involved.

'Be prepared' indeed. That was kind of the plan, but people thought it was too dangerous to train them.

I guess some things don't change no matter where you are.

Maybe they just need a little reassurance. We're kind of intimidating when you get down to it.

I get that. [But he doesn't, really. Not when he's been a superpowered alien all his life. He can only guess it, at best.]

And I guess all this time with a power-off made them forget how much. Still, yelling at a little kid... I'm not saying we should clap at her for doing what she did but I really do think it was harmless.

[Maybe that's one small thing that Tony has over some of the others. He's still just a guy with a fancy suit. He thinks like a civilian and still gets scared of every day life.]

I don't mean we threaten them, I mean that we're scary. As we are. The potential for how bad it can get if things mess up.

[He stops, expression falling to something more serious and genuinely concerned.]

How harmless was it?
