Summary
Jon-El smiles thinly. He walks towards the stairwell, towards where Jon’s room had been. “He’d only agree to swap when I started bringing you up, you know?”
Swap? Damian looks back to the other. His hand tightens to a fist over Jon-El’s shoulder. In turn, the hand holding him at the leg squeezes once. Loosens. His tight expression relaxes. He leans in, face so uncomfortably close to Damian’s that he can feel his hot breath all over again. “I mean, I get it. I’d do anything for my Damian too. He’s not like you, though. Mine won’t even let me touch him, y’know? He’s got a Kryptonite blade that he always– it doesn’t matter. We’re gonna trade.”

Summary
Dad takes his hand into his own, rubs the gentlest touch over the skin. Over each knuckle of his finger, bending them to make sure they're working right. “There you go. All better, kiddo.”
Jon looks too. Then he looks anywhere else. He doesn’t feel all better.
His chest still feels like it’s going to pop.
He tried. He’d tried to do it all by himself. Jon’s one half of the best duo ever and he’s capable. He can handle tough situations and fight his way out. It’s just–
“What about Damian? Can you help make him better too?”

Summary
“You haven’t seen Damian at all, have you? Dick was the one to get them, and you said he’s still with him now.”
“I’ve been busy. They both understand that–”
“Busy chasing some imaginary idea that your son being sexually assaulted means that there’s going to be a full on invasion. Right. Busy.” Clark turns, refusing to look at him directly. “Bye, Bruce. I’ll see you around.”
He disappears into the building and Bruce is left behind on the sidewalk, feeling as if he’s just taken a hammer to the chest. Broken ribs prised apart to rip his heart from the limp, bloodied carcass left behind.

Summary
Damian isn't convinced that Jon's ever felt a real emotion. He has never actually been hurt in a way that would warrant such an expression.
Not unless there's Kryptonite piercing his flesh. Then he hurts and he cries and it's very real while he stutters through apologizing for whatever trespass he's attempted. It is probably about time to remind him that he's not some all-powerful god who bleeds golden ichor. His blood is red, it is hot and sticky like anyone else's.
