In Clark's universe, Lana is Chinese, so picturing her as a redhead is absolutely bizarre. And he's had a crush on her since he was seven, so seeing her as a sister is even more weird. "I've met other versions of me and we've compared and contrasted some weird stuff, but... Lana being a redhead?" He shakes his head. "I haven't even picked up a comic book yet. I think an encyclopedia about myself would just be too much." Add to that his discomfort with being identified as a superhero in the first place, and you get a wonderful recipe for awkward. Even moreso than asking his sixty-five-year-old counterpart if he can die.

He looks a little more embarrassed as April says the s-word. While he's getting less shy about it with her, he's not so great about talking about it front of people he's barely met. Or anyone else in general, really. Though his parents got a pass on that when his heat vision first started up, and that was awkward but necessary.
