"Clark! I'm 18 years old! I can go on a date if I want."

Clark glared at the young blonde girl in front of him. "He's almost 10 years older than you, Kara. I don't-"

"Trust me? Yeah, I figured that."

"Of course I trust you! It's him I don't trust. Older men only go after teenage girls for one thing."

Red tinged Kara's blue eyes. "I can take care of myself, Kal. I don't need you hovering around trying to protect me; I'm not Lana or Lori. Besides, Lois has been teaching me a few moves."

Clark rubbed the bridge of his nose. He was actually getting a headache. "I know that, Kara. But you haven't been on earth for that long. Men can be very manipulative."

"I'm sick of the mock parental concern!" Kara yelled. "If you want to work on your 'daddy' act why don't you go tell Lois the truth about Jason?"

Clark's shoulders stiffened and a look of deep hurt and pain briefly crossed his face before he shut it down.

Kara instantly regretted her words. "Kal-"

"I just don't want you to get hurt."

"Kal-"

"Have fun on your date." With that Clark spun into the suit and flew out the window.

Kara watched him until he was a tiny speck in the sky. "I'm sorry."
