"Clark,

I am aware of the need for consequence in a child's upbringing. However, Jon and I have important matters to attend to, which you have interrupted by disallowing his use of a mobile device. I do not deem it necessary to inform you of the explicit details of those matters, but you must know that they are of an urgent nature.

May I have you reminded of who carries the Green K on them at all times, and whom that could be fatal to.

Regards, Damian"

Anyways.

Sending a bunch of these to my Dad ASAP. Because his dumbass forgot they exist, apparently.

jon : "ugh—! on your left, robs!"

damian : "heard."

jon : "there's too many of them, we should call up a bat!"

damian : "pfft, no need. I've taken on far more than this."

jon : "ha!—oh really? how many?"

damian, suddenly pausing to look at jon : "have you ever been ambushed by 50 assassins in your sleep before?"

jon : "i- uh- huh?"

damian : "because I have."

jon : "WHAT"

damian : "on your left, farm boy!"

jon : "wait you can't just— AH!!"

Bizarro is his fear of weakness, infirmary, disability and death. A diseased, distorted copy of Superman is what Jon always feared he'd grow up to become, if he grew up at all. A Krytonian-human hybrid, he was a rough birth, followed by an even rougher childhood. Organ failure and long stretches of illness were common. He even felt intellectually disabled, the time-dilating 'inner eye' that his father and aunt used so thoughtlessly was exhausting to maintain for even minutes at a time.

In the Twins he sees the Superboy that his father was, and that he could not be. Both his parents having been well acquainted with the spotlight for most of their lives, Jon always felt like the odd one out in his distaste for attention and shenanigans. In his quest to make sure his son would not feel the pangs of isolation he went through. Clark followed Jon everywhere, constantly boasting about his son - the All-New Superboy. The attention was smothering and humiliating for Jon, who could never keep up with his inherited identity.

Kara Zor-El (grew up in Krypton before ending up on earth)

Clark Kal El Kent (was the last survivour for a long time and the only person with access to books, videos and AIs all while having had burning questions since he was a kid - the most I give him is his accent being Weird and him speaking more formally/more like academic robots than other kryptonians)

Christopher Kent (grew up in the phantom zone before being adopted by Clark and Lois and lived in Kandor City for a bit)

People who probably know enough Kryptonian to get around, mostly via exposure and mostly speaking:

John Henry Irons

Natasha Irons

Lois Lane

Jimmy Olsen

People who are probably STILL learning Kryptonian (speaking, reading, etc)

Jon El Kent (canonically didn't grow up knowing his father was superman)

Kon-El/Conner Kent (HOW would cadmus have access to kryptonian language to put it in his brain???' at most he knows some words but it's like. English speaker knowing random french words - no ability to speak it)
