I want a 6'6" giant of a Kara who doesn't even register that she's Big and Tall and Muscular and that Makes Humans Nervous. Because she's small for a Kryptonian! She's always been small! She looms over people without even thinking about it.

And she doesn't filter her anger. When she is angry, she bares too sharp of teeth and raises her voice to a thunder boom and her eyes glare red. She makes dangerous noises in the back of her throat that make everyone's hair raise. That's normal Kryptonian anger, and humans yell too! Why does everyone draw back when she does it?

They also start to realize how much Clark modulates his powers, and doesn't overtly use them even in non-destructive ways. Kara needs a car moved? She just moves it. Why is everyone staring at her? They know she's strong and can do it. She didn't break it. So what's the fuss? She zips into the room and is suddenly standing by someone. Why did they scream about it? This team has speedsters, for Rao's sake!

Kara has never learned to make herself small in the way Clark has.

Yet I don't think twice about prying one of my dog's jaws open to make them take their medication (just eat it when it's in the hot dog, Obi, ffs).

I like to imagine Bruce has regular realizations like this around Clark. He's reaching out and guiding Clark in a direction. He's grabbing a violently angry Clark by the shoulders to tell him to calm down. He's putting himself in Clark's space regularly, touching him, commanding him, arguing with him.

Bruce does something like grab Clark's arm to stop him from chasing after some villain and only afterwards realizes that Clark could have snapped his wrist like a dry twig. Bruce pushes him to sit down when he's injured and Clark just goes, even though Bruce watched him take an entire rocket to the chest without budging not a half-hour ago. Bruce prods at a bleeding gash and Clark just makes an unhappy sound and pouts at him instead of knocking the other man into next Sunday.

Clark lets him do it.
