Nicodemus
(it
strarts like the real one...)
Martha was going home by car, and on
the road she found a car which had had an accident. She stopped and
helped the man who was in the car taking her to the hospital
immediately.
When she arrived home she told all to Jonathan, but
she seemed a little different, she wasn't the kind Martha of ever,
she seemed to be very excited. When Clark arrived at home he found
his parents kissing really passionate in the kitchen, and Martha
without her blouse.
"Oh! sorry!!" said he when he went
in the kitchen.
"Oh! Clark, son... we were..." tried to
apologize Jonathan.
"No, it doesn't matter, I... I will leave
you alone"
"Wait Clark, don't you congratulation the
hero?" said Martha
"Which hero?"
"Me!"
shouted she.
"She had saved a man who had had an accident"
explains Jonathan.
"Wow! really, mum!?"
"I do!"
said her while she took the blouse from the floor. "I go to have
a shower... don't you want to come with me, darling?"
"Eh...
no, thanks... I want to talk a while with our son..." said
Jonathan.
"Ok" and she went up stairs.
"Is
she ok?" asked Clark.
"I'm not really sure... she seem a
little strange since she has arrived" explained Jonathan a
little worried.
In the dinner, Martha, didn't take a tea,
like always, she take a beer.
"Mum, are you right?"
"Of
course, I have never been better..."
The next
morning, when Martha woke up found the bed empty. Jonathan was down
stairs already to go out to work.
"Good morning darling"
she shouted from the top of the stairs "Where are you
going?"
"You know I have to go to Metropolis today"
"Oh!
But I thought that we could spend the day toghether, alone, doing
what you know..."
"I
would love spend all day doing it with you, darling, but I think you
are a little ill today, and it's better to you to spend the day
resting on the bed, ok? I will come early to look after you" and
he left the house.
Martha, angrily because he felt really hot that
morning, also went out.
She went on a walk and she arrived to the lake, there she put out all her clothes and go in the water. It was really cold, but she didn't feel it.
Lionel
Luthor, who was going to Metropolis, pass near the lake and saw
Martha throw the limousine window.
"Is she Martha Kent?"
shouted, and ordered to stop the car.
He went there, and found all
her clothes on the ground.
"Mrs. Kent?!" he shouted, but
she didn't say nothing "Martha?!"
"Lionel Luthor!"
shouted she really happy, and swam to the shore, non going out the
water.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm having a
bath"
"I see, but... without clothes?"
"It's
funniest in that way... don't you want to come with me?"
"I
don't think that's a good idea..."
"Why not? You have
always wanted it... to have me just for you..."
"I think
you're not yourself at that moment, Martha"
"Why don't
you do me a favor?"
"What?"
"Stop thinking
too much" and in the same moment she said that, she went out of
the water, without clothes, without nothing... and Lionel turn round
himself immediately trying to not see that body which he had ever
wished.
"Come
on Lionel, you want it as much as I want" she said while she was
touching lightly his back.
"Martha, please, dress
yourself..."
"You neither want to play with me... you're
a bad boy..." and she put a sad face.
"What about
Jonathan?!"
"He's a fool man, he had rejected me!"
and she put her hands on Lionel's shoulders making he to turned
round. When they where face to face, she started to touching lightly
his lips with her finger. "You want to play with me, don't you
Lionel?"
"I... Martha... I don't think it's..."
"Come
on... it will be funny... come with me to the water..." and she
touch Lionel's lips with hers "come with me..." and she
took his hand.
Lionel was without words... He had dream something
like that for too much time... now he had what he wished... Martha...
but he knew she wasn't herself at all...
"No Martha... it's
better to you to get dress and go home... come on, I will take you to
the farm..."
"Oh crap! Ok, go! Let me alone! I will find
somebody who wanted to please me..." she was really excited, she
seemed really ill... she felt down to the water.
"Martha!"
shouted Lionel while he go to take her.
She had fainted and she
was unconscious. Lionel took her to the hospital, covering her with
his jacket.
"How is my wife?" asked Jonathan to
the doctor when he arrived. Lionel had called him.
"She isn't
really good, Mr Kent. I'm really worried about her... The man she
saved yesterday had dead this morning"
"Oh my god!"
Fortunately Lionel paid the best doctors of the country and they found an antidote before Martha dead.
When she came
round Jonathan was there...
"Dear?"
"Martha! Oh!
That's great, you're with us again!"
"What had
happened?"
"You was on the effect of a plant called
nicodemus, you hadn't been on yourself the last two days..."
"Oh...
The last I can remember is that I found a car on the road which had
had an accident..."
"Yeah, darling, it was two days
ago..."
Lionel knock the door.
"Come in" said
Jonathan serious. "He had saved your life, dear"
The
doctor asked for Jonathan and he left Martha and Lionel alone.
"I'm
glad to see you fine again, Martha"
"Thank you"
They
where in silence a while.
"Do you remember anything?" he
asked.
"Not exactly... I remember I went to swim to the lake,
but anything else... Why?"
"It doesn't matter, it's
better that way..."
He was leaving the room when Martha
said:
"Lionel! Thanks for not seize the opportunity..."
"I
couldn't do that anyway, I love you too much, Martha Clark..."
and he disappeared behind the door.
