A FUTURE GLIMPSE
They appeared out of seemingly nothing. The man was on a mission, he had to leave his young charge with the proper supervision while he was stuck here. The biggest threat was the revelation of too much information that was unnecessary and possibly dangerous. He had to get his young companion to the people he hoped to entrust him to and hope for the best.
The Kent's arrived at their farm and noticed a man standing by their door.
"Can we help you?" asked Jonathan
"Yes indeed you may." answered the man
"What can we do for you?" asked Martha
"May we speak inside? I don't want to take a chance of someone overhearing our conversation." said the man
"What is this about?" asked Jonathan
"It's about your son Clark."
"What about me?" asked Clark
"Really this should not be discussed outside."
"Look mister you came here and want to talk about Clark know were not going anywhere until you tell us what you want!" said Jonathan
"Fine it really should be said in private but if you insist."
"I insist."
"Your son has powers." said the man
"What are you talking about?" asked Jonathan
"Really Mr. Kent let's not pretend I don't know what I'm talking about. I know you found him years ago after the meteor shower."
"Let's go inside Dad." said Clark
"I think we should." said Martha
They all went inside. Clark was wondering who the man was and how he knew about him. Martha and Jonathan were wondering if their worst fear had come true and someone was here to take Clark away.
"First let me say that I'm not here to harm any of you."
"Then why are you here? And how do you know about Clark?" asked Martha concerned.
"I'm here because I need your help. For your last question history and Clark have told me about him."
"What?" asked Jonathan
"Let me start at the beginning."
The Kent's listened attentively has the man told his story. After what seemed like an eternity he finished.
"You actually expect us to believe that you're from the future?" asked Jonathan shocked.
"Yes."
"Look mister quit pulling our chains your lying." said Jonathan
"Mr. Kent you have a son that has powers that you can't understand and you won't even accept the notion that time travel is possible?"
"Jonathan he's right. I mean Clark is special and maybe just maybe he's telling us the truth." said Martha quietly.
"No Martha what he's saying is not possible."
"Just like it's not possible for me to have powers and not possible to have found me after the meteor shower?" asked Clark concerned as to what this man wanted.
"Let's say we believe you. What do you want with us?" asked Jonathan
"I have a small problem."
"What kind of problem?" asked Jonathan irritated.
"I have a companion that is traveling with me because he can not go home. I need to keep him somewhere safe."
"Wait a minute you want to leave your companion here with us?" asked Jonathan
"Yes."
"Why can't he go home?" asked Martha.
"He's from the future. He's been exposed to a substance that makes it impossible for him to go through the time vortex."
"What?" asked Clark astonished.
"He's been exposed to something that will kill him if he tries to go home. He needs a safe place to stay while I try to find a way to send him home."
"Why here?" asked Jonathan
"He's from the future and given that you have a son with powers I figured that you would be more than likely to take him."
"How can we be sure that he's not caring a deadly disease? Because you said that he's been exposed to something that can kill him." asked Clark
"The substance that he's been exposed to is activated when he tries to go through the vortex not before so there's no danger to anyone."
"How can we believe you?" asked Martha
"How can you not my dear lady? I'm telling you the truth ask me anything until you're convinced."
They spent the next hour or so questioning the man. He seemed to know a lot about them and about Clark. He knew things that nobody else knew. They had no choice but to believe him and accept to watch over his companion.
"Fine bring your companion he may stay here while you find a way to send him home." said Jonathan still not sure if this was a good idea.
"Good I knew you'd agree. But first there are some rules that need to be followed."
"Rules! We are doing you a favor and there's rules attached!" yelled Jonathan
"Jonathan please." pleaded Martha.
"What type of rules?" asked Clark beginning to get annoyed about this man and his secrets.
"First you may not ask my companion anything personal about his life, and do not ask him about the future."
"No problem," said Clark.
"Who is he?" asked Martha
"His name is Sam."
"So this Sam is from the future, huh, when exactly is he from and does he have family here in Smallville?" asked Jonathan.
"I'm afraid I can't answer that. Like I said he's from the future and revealing too much information can be dangerous. Things in this time need to be as normal as possible. Sam's presence shouldn't interfere with anything."
"Fine, go get our new guest," said Jonathan.
Mr. Wells had left the farm he'd gone into town to pick up his companion. Clark wondered about this person named Sam and how having another person around was going to affect them all. Jonathan was wondering if this Sam was dangerous. Martha was wondering what he was going to be like and how long would he stay. Mr. Wells finally arrived with his companion and nobody in the Kent family was prepared for who Sam was.
