[Kal-El pushes the man away with calculated strength. Enough strength so he’ll be slammed against the floor and even lift some debris, but not strong enough to break any bones or permanently injure the man. That might be a mistake, he thinks to himself, but he’s never actively hurt a human before.
Sure, there were domestic humans around the house and he had to tug their leashes a time or two so they would know what was proper behavior. That was for their own good, and he tried not to hurt them much while doing it. This? This is different. Because he finds that he actually wants to hurt him and that’s a line he had never crossed before. Then again, no human had ever been so blatant towards him either. Is he a Cicisbeo? Is that how he learned the language?
He steps on the man’s chest so he can’t stand up.]
