You don't trust me because I haven't developed all my powers yet. I'm just a young version of the Superman you know, and I'm just half your age, right? Haven't seen the things you've seen?
Childish? [ So close to just flipping tables. You get another growl. ] I simply expected you to understand when a plan is utterly ridiculous and unnecessary.
[Oh god, seriously, if you were anyone else he wouldn't be phoning back. He definitely wouldn't be phoning back and waiting, he'd be over there blowing down doors.]
Funny thing about phones is I can keep calling you forever and there's not much you can do about it. Changing your number is out.
Besides, I wanted to apologise. I don't... I don't trust many people - I never have - and the people I do trust have a habit of betraying me. They use my faith in them against me.
[It's infuriating how much he sounds like Oliver right now.]
The blue meteor rock's range isn't the same as the green's, and its effects are different. I have to know it's all there, otherwise there's no point taking it at all. In fact, it'd just draw attention; make it clear how valuable, how dangerous it is.
If you want me to trust you, it has to go both ways. I'll stay well out the way, but I have to be there.
Whatever you're planning, don't.

But apparently my expectations were too high.

Gotham stays in Gotham, right? Well Kryptonite is Smallville. [His voice is fierce, authoratative.] It's mine.

Do you think I would keep it away from you?

I have to make sure it's all there. If it's not, I want to be there so we can look for the rest. I can't afford to leave any of it behind.

[ HOW DOES IT FEEL, BRUCE, TO NOT BE TRUSTED?
... Well he reacts in a remarkably childish way and hangs up. ]

We need to co-ordinate.

I'll find a way in. If I need help, I'll call.
Just keep a ear out and don't do anything that will get yourself within range of the rock.
