Oh, I loved all the little hurty details of Bruce's injuries, and you could absolutely FEEL Clark's queasiness about them, which fits him so well.

"Thank you, Master Clark." Alfred nodded at him. Clark nodded back - what Alfred was thanking him for he had no idea - and started to leave.

Speaking of coded words, lol...Alfred is always so oblique, I really loved him here. This was a nice little moment, tense enough to feel in character and caring enough to also be perfectly in character. :)
