Chapter 1
The night breeze whistled into the town known as Smallville, it was a quiet Saturday night for most people. However The Talon was always the centre point for social activity. If it weren't for the closing time it would be known as the coffee shop that never sleeps.
However this was an all too different situation for Clark Kent the last son of his home planet of Krypton. For the first time in his adventurous young life, nothing could compare for what adventure he was only just getting accustom to, as he was having a cup of coffee with his twin-brother known as Tor-El of Krypton who's identity was kept from him by the traumatic events that split the El family in two all those years ago.
This had been a roller coaster ride for the both of them. Adam witch Tor-El's human name had been decided thanks to Chloe Sullivan Clark's most trusted friend, had been trapped in the Phantom Zone presumed dead all his years after Clark & Adams biological farther Jor-El was left with no choice to send Tor-El through the portal to the Phantom Zone or suffer the horrible death from the destruction of Krypton their home planet. Jor-El hoped that Raya the guardian of the Phantom Zone would be able to find Tor-El in time. But that is were the story seemed to go fuzzy from then on as only a month before Clark had met Raya and in there time together mentioned nothing to do with Tor-El. So how Tor-El survived in the Phantom Zone alone for 22 years was a complete mystery to both of them as Adam's memory was a complete jumble for a lot of that time.
However Clark had decided to let the past be the past and focus on the here and now. He had a brother a real piece of his family right here with him and he wanted to cherish every moment of it.
"Clark I don't understand what we are doing here" Adam spoke in a very confused tone which seemed to be a very frequent tone that Clark was getting use to.
The good side of having a brother did come at a price. With all Adam's life being alone in the zone he had very limited knowledge of how to act as a human. He seemed to have the universal language barrier perfect however there was a lot of pieces of culture he still had no clue of. He did not receive the knowledge which Clark received in his ship in his journey from Krypton to Earth.
So this is what the Man of Steel's primary mission was to help his brother…fill in the blanks.
"What don't you understand?" Clark had spoke those very words a lot in the past 4 weeks since the news broke of Adam's true identity but it was kind of refreshing for Clark it felt after years of listening to all the lectures from school and from home which was now his mother Martha as Jonathan who Clark would always call his true father who was no longer with them. Now Clark was the teacher, tutoring his brother in the way how the world works which was now what Adam needed to know the most if he is going to stay here.
Adam looked around the talon seeing all the people sitting around talking laughing some even holding hands. He turned back to Clark and sighed.
"What is the point of this…grab a coffee?"
Clark smiled as he could understand that Adam was not use to people being so social around him.
"Adam…this is what people do to socialize & relax"
Adam immediately replied as he took a brief look around.
"I don't feel relaxed"
"It will take time; this is the first step into your integration into humanity" Clark replyed with a reassuring smile.
Adam was frustrated into that response.
"Clark you say it like it's easy, you got this information spoon fed you when you were a baby"
Clark began to laugh under his breath.
"What's so funny?" Adam said annoyed at Clark's arrogance.
"You are socializing now; you don't realize how human you are"
Clark said as he took his cup of coffee and gestured Adam to do so. Adam was very careful he didn't break the cup as he was only just beginning to control his powers. As Adam drank the warm substance which was very difficult to get use to as he said lowering his tone.
"Well you and I know that we will never be human"
Clark immediately reiterated words that he had continually reminded Adam to remember constantly.
"Adam remember, our true identity…" however Adam concluded his sentence.
"…is and must always be kept secret for the safety of people around us I know, I know"
Clark decided maybe this was the best time to suggest something he had struggled to bring into there conversations yet.
"Maybe if you went to the fortress…maybe Jor-El"
Adam immediately glared at Clark and snapped in his reply.
"No!"
Clark could understand his reluctance just before the revelation of there brotherly connection Clark had took Adam to the fortress from the request of Jor-El however at that time there father believed that Adam was an imposter and interrogated him brutally until the fortress ran a scan of his biology to come to the shocking conclusion that Adam was actually his long lost son. Even though a month had past, Adam refused to return to the fortress ever since.
"You will have to go eventually…I know its hard to except but he mite be able help you" Clark tried to speak reassuringly but his brother wasn't buying it at all.
"Last time you said that Clark, I ended up trapped there and…"
Adam sentence trailed off and he rolled up his sleeve to show Clark a site that still made his brothers stomach quiver as he revealed the scars and the bruises what had been inflicted on him from Jor-El's torture.
"…we all know what happened after that" Adam concluded as he lowered his sleeve and returned to his drink.
Clark actually had no words that could help ease the situation any further. But then he noticed the talon doors open and realized that the subject had to change quickly.
"We will discuss this later, because your about to get your socializing skills put to an extreme test." Clark said taking a big gulp of his coffee.
"Why?" Adams spoke glad that the subject of there father was being concluded for the time being.
Clark immediately concentrated his focus behind Adam and spoke in that direction.
"Lois..."
