[He does, he'd ended up visiting... a lot of other people's realms during the trip to Sinbrilee. And Bruce himself had had to pull him out from his own nightmare. Nothing strikes him as weird about them meeting like that.
But the question makes him pause. Would Bruce be able to kill him?
Part of him wants to say yes, that's the main reason he trusts him with the Kryptonite after all. If the moment came he wouldn't hesitate, wouldn't pull back- he would do what needed to be done because he understood better than anyone Kal would rather die than hurt innocent people- or worse. In his worst moments, when he's looking at the ceiling while lying down in bed and fully aware of how close he's been in the past, how a bit of mind-control or a little spell or a new color of Kryptonite could end it all... knowing Bruce has a bright green ring with Kal's name on it is what gets him to calm down.
But Bruce is his friend, his brother. Bruce doesn't kill, even if he had implied he would let Kal get rid of Lex in his darkest moments, if he so wished. Bruce wouldn't stop at anything to keep his city, his lover, his queen safe and that includes taking care of Kal should he need to.
But the dichotomy between that idea and the man he'd trusted with his wife's life on occasions is had to swallow.]
He would do what needed to be done [He says at last, not completely satisfied with the answer but hoping he will never have to find out.]
