Eeee! Kal! Kal! I loved the revelation to Bruce that his almost betrothed was not a bad man, but a kind and handsome one :P Irony for a man who can't talk!

Bruce glanced at Ace, sitting quietly at the stranger's side, then nodded very slowly. The man smiled like the sun coming out from a cloud. Bruce blinked, startled at the intensity of it.

"My name is Kal."

Eeee! I love Kal in this, so kind and happy to help! and Blaidd! Blaidd is awesome! I'm glad Ace could survive the winter along with Bruce, having a friend during times of duress really makes all the difference. Looking forward to read more! I want to know how Jor-El and Lara take to Bruce!
