I've always wanted to try letting go of all my restaint. I'm always afraid that I'll hurt someone if I'm not careful.

I concur.

It is...difficult when one is so different.

I'm uh... Not really sure why I said that. [Awkward laugh.] Different how?

I am not from this planet. On my world, it is not uncommon to have great strength and passion. Yet here, it is looked upon as strange.

And I guess you find it hard to control that strength around people?

It takes a great deal of self-control, yes.

You also have super powers?

I... In a manner of speaking. [Meaning yes, but 'strength and passion' could be described in more mortal terms, too.]

I know what you mean. It's hard to find someone tough enough to not worry about hurting them...

[He's a little surprised with himself, so nevermind the puzzled look. He keeps it oblique, even though he's not sure he needs to.]

And sometimes you end up hurting them just by being around them, nevermind anything you do.

[He nods, frowning.] Yeah. But then they also get hurt when you're not around them.

[Clark's expression is intense.] Maybe, but that doesn't make you feel any less responsible for their pain.

[Kyle nods, matching the intense expression.] No, it doesn't.

[And he glances back up, forcing the edge of a smile to his lips. It's a question that was on his mind when he came here.]

So what do you do? Do you stay?

[He smiles too.]

Of course. Stay and do everything I can to keep people safe. And hope maybe one time, someone who I can release that restraint with comes along.

What if you have no choice but to go? Are they going to be alright without you there to save the day?

Then I go and try to be back as soon as I possibly can. Have to have faith in them to be able to take care of themselves sometimes too.
