[He wants to say "You're not hearing me." Because he's not. He's hurt because the comparison hurts but that's not what he's trying to say. He's trying to make it clear why an action from someone he trusts still feels bad even when it's well-intentioned. Because trauma doesn't create rational responses. The brain does what it wants.]
[But he has no words for it. He's a superhero and the concept of "trauma" even applying is lost on him. Trauma is a thing that happens to people who need saving. It's a thing that happens to people living in Gotham. Even when it happens to heroes, does it still count when it's Superboys?]
[Clark never seems traumatized.]
[But he doesn't want to fight and "do what you want" isn't a no. So clams up, stays, and leans against the wall, arms crossed.]
