"You do have the choice to." Clark informed him. "And you might want it now, but have you really given it some serious thought? Almost leaving twice...it makes one wonder if that's what you really want after all. Being encouraged and talked into the position is one thing. But here you can be free. You can be whoever you want to be. Feel like joining a circus act like the one you just spoke of? The option is there. You don't have to settle." If there was anything that Clark hated seeing, it was a person being forced into a destiny. It was what Jor-El had been trying to do to him for years. Different ways, each less pleasant than the last. Someone almost always got hurt. Yet Kara couldn't see it that way, could she? She just thought that he had an instant dislike of the way that his family was. Where he came from. It wasn't that - it was that he didn't want to lose all that he had here in the process of becoming whatever it was that Jor-El had planned for him. He was truly afraid of the destiny that was laid out for him and Clark wasn't so sure if it was the right one for him.
"Maybe they can't afford it." But that city had the billionaire Bruce Wayne there, didn't it? Maybe if he threw in some money...that was, if he cared enough to do so. Clark didn't know him personally so he couldn't truly say. "It might make things a lot easier if they did is all." Clark lunged forward, reaching for the ball. He was still restraining himself, so if Tim went at it the right way he could have potentially avoided the attempt.
