AN: I own nothing.
It was a warm, summer day in the little town of Smallville Kansas. The light shone brightly on two men. Conner Kent grunted lifting the tractor, up for the two hundredth time, before gently setting it down, the crunch that sounded alerting him to the fact that he had broken the beam behind the tractor again. He sighed in frustration as he walked behind the tractor, seeing where the beam was split. With a practiced ease he walked over to the pile of 2X4's and replaced the broken beam. Conner's Blue eyes nervously found Clark's scared if what he might find in them, but to his great relief he only found understanding and comfort.
"You're getting better Conner; you just have to keep practicing." Clark stated a small smile on his face. Conner just grinned before lifting the tractor again, and began to lower it, he waited to hear the sound of the beam breaking again, but this time he only heard the tires slowly crunch the soft hay under them. Conner's grin split his face as he silently celebrated not breaking that accursed beam. He quickly turned to find a smiling Clark.
"Good job Conner, see I told you, you could do it." Clark said as the two left the barn and walked into the small farm house. Conner's grin faded as he saw the pensive look that took over Clarks face.
"Conner we need to talk." Clark sighed as he led Conner to a chair before sitting down across from him. Conner was terrified because of the look on Clark's face.
"Conner you told me that when I thought you were ready, you'd be willing to join the team." Clark stated as he watched Conner's face slowly change from terrified to over joyed. "Conner I know that you've been keeping tabs on the news, which means I assume you know about the mass amount of disappearances in California." Clark stated. At the quick nod of Conner's head Clark continued. "I've been talking with Tess and Lois, and they both agree with me, that it would be a good idea to have someone down in that area." Clark sighed as he turned his head to the side. "Conner I know that I'm asking a lot of you here but I'd like you to go live in Sunnydale California and be their hero." Clark told Conner.
"Clark man, I'm honored that you'd consider me for this but, what if I'm not ready, I mean I just finally lowered the tractor without breaking the beam what if I screw up, or hurt somebody." Conner fretted, terrified at the possibilities until he felt a strong hand gently clamp down on his shoulder, looking up into Clarks eyes he found understanding, and pride.
"Conner I believe in you." Clark stated a proud smile on his face. Conner's eyes glowed with surprised happiness as he slowly nodded his head.
"Ok Clark, I'll do it." Conner watched as Clark smiled fully before he reached under the counter, pulling out a small box.
"Conner I want you to have this, it helped me out and I think it will do the same for you." With that said Clark handed Conner the box. Conner didn't know what to expect when he opened the box so with careful gently tugs Conner pulled the top apart reveling a black shirt with a large red S stamped in the middle. Below it was a pair of black cargo pants, black combat boots, and a long black trench coat. He looked back at Clark with a small smile on his face, before gently placing them back into the box.
"Thank you Clark." Conner said. He watched as Clark nodded before getting up and grabbing paperwork off the counter and handing them to Conner with a pen. Conner quickly perused the paperwork the first being an application to Sunnydale high school, the other was legal documents which stated that Conner would be aloud to live on his own. Showing that he'd be getting a monthly income from Tess as well as a smaller income from Oliver, he grinned as he quickly signed all the forms, before handing them back to Clark so they could be processed.
It was two weeks later as Conner was finishing packing the few belongings he had into the backpack that was sitting on his bed. The new house that Tess had purchased would be fully furnished. As Conner placed the last pair of blue jeans he owned into the bag he sighed softly before zipping the bag closed and slinging it over his back. He slowly walked out of his room of two months but not without sparing one last look back, before closing the door. Conner smiled at the small gathering that was waiting down stairs for him. A small goodbye party had been thrown the night before, now all that was left was Clark, Lois, and Tess. With easy smiles and sad goodbye, and a couple of promises to call Conner finally made it outside to where the black Ducati Superbike 1198 SP sat waiting for him. He grinned at the bike that had been a going away present from Oliver. Conner sat astride his bike before with a gently smile he placed the black helmet over his head, started the motorcycle and was off in, speeding down the highway to his new home, a large grin splitting his face.
Alright well that's my first chapter tell me what you think please. And for Conner's costume think Clarks from season nine except instead of the silver Shield his is the red one that is common in superboy mythology. R&R love to hear them good or bad.
