[ He's quiet again for a while. ]

Could you teach me?

[ audio ]

[metacides]

You can't understand Kryptonian?

[ audio ]

[signifies]

No - I.

[ There wasn't time.

Another pause. ]

No, I don't. Shortly after I found out where I was from, Zod attacked. He died in the conflict, and his followers are in the Phantom Zone, on their ships.

I don't have access to a phantom drive.

[ They're effectively dead. ]

[metacides]

Huh.

( that's new. not them being in the phantom zone part, but the timeline of it all. and clark not being able to understand kryptonian. or speak it. )

Yeah, fine. Whatever. But you'll owe me.

I don't mind.

[ He cares for Jon, no matter what Jon might think, he's not going to turn him away because of anything he does.

Half of what he does is to push people away, anyhow. ]

How're you intending to do it?

[metacides]

I can't beam muscle memory into your head. You'll have to learn the old fashioned way.

( which means spending time with clark. ugh. but a favor owed from superman's probably worth it.5 )

[ Well, if he gets to give Jon something at the end of it. ]

I'm a quick learner.

[metacides]

Good, I'm not a patient teacher.

I'll come find you tomorrow. Not like there's anything better to do.

[ audio ]

[signifies]

I'll see you then.

[ He nearly adds take care out of habit, then disconnects the phone. ]
