[And while Clark isn't (luckily, some would say) a mind-reader, he can read Bruce's stance fairly well. But he really, really doesn't have the time for tests right now- not long ones, anyway.
There's something else he has to ask. Because while he recognizes the heartbeat and the bone structure and the scars (and it's refreshing to not have to fight the lead in the suit for that), Bruce is been gone for... very long in his world. And if he hadn't been told this was a place between death and life already Clark would be freaking out right now, or punching the hell out of the impostor.
Not that he isn't freaking out but it's SIGNIFICANTLY LESS and he's a reporter okay these distinctions matter.]
Bruce? I- I want you to take off the mask. Okay? You can ask whatever you want- It's me, I promise. I'll prove it- DNA and everything you need.

But I want-need to see your face. Please?
