Separated at birth and adopted into families James Aaron Olsen and Eric Shawn Summers were just young children when the meteor shower hit in Smallville, Kansas. The Olsen family never felt the effects of the meteor shower they were miles way in another state but however the Summers family experienced it more than they would ever know.

Seventeen year old Jimmy Olsen walked into the kitchen after coming home from school; his mother was cleaning the kitchen sink which is what she always did when she didn't want to tell him something.

"What's up mom?" asked Jimmy looking around the kitchen

"Oh honey, it's nothing at all" said Julie Olsen tuning on the sink

"Remember the time I told you I wanted to quit school become a captain for a boat and sail around the world" said Jimmy

"How could we forget? Your mother cried for a week" said Kyle Olsen walking in from his job at the newspaper

"I didn't do it did I? No" said Jimmy "Just tell me please"

"Your adopted, you have a brother named Eric, and were moving to Kansas" said Julie

"Wait what! Were moving to Kansas?" asked Jimmy

"When your junior year is over" said Kyle

"I don't care, I hate it at that school anyway" said Jimmy "what a minute, did you say I had a brother?'

"Yes, his name is Eric and you were separated at birth and adopted" said Julie

"Now you tell me? Maybe I should have captained that boat" said Jimmy

Jimmy ran up stairs grabbed a blanket from his room and then he sat in the attic that at night looking at the pictures of his family, or who at least he thought was his family up until the announcement. After finding a pad of paper, he stated writing

Dear Eric,

That's as far as he got before Jimmy fell asleep on the floor of the attic, he was too tired to go downstairs to his room.

In what seemed like a million miles away in Smallville Kansas, High School Junior Eric was in his room doing what he always did, avoiding his parents especially at night when they always seemed to argue.

"It's your fault he's the way that he is! You treat him horribly!" screamed Rebecca Summers at her husband Roger

"I do not, I treat him the way my father treated me and see how that turned out!" he screamed back

"Well that tells you something right there!" Rebecca screamed

"We should have taken the other one, at least that one wouldn't have been so strange" screamed Roger

Eric who was tried of the constant screaming got off his bed, put down his book about rocks, and poked his head out the door

"Will you be quiet? I am trying to read!" screamed Eric

Roger and Rebecca looked at each other with the hope that Eric didn't hear what they were talking about.

"Eric, get down here now!" they screamed

Eric sighed and went slowly down the stairs past the empty walls where they would usually have family pictures if they were a happy family, which they weren't and never going to be

"What?" asked Eric talking a seat on the couch

"You're adopted and you have a brother" said Roger

Eric looked at his father who was also a teacher at Smallville High and a serious jerk

"You practice that speech?" asked Eric getting up from the couch

"Eric, we aren't lying….you are adopted" said Rebecca

"Well I bet he has a better life than me…maybe I should go live with him" said Eric "Were does he live?"

"We don't know where Jimmy lives" said Rebecca

Eric went back upstairs to his room and went to sleep it was the only salvation from his parents and the nightmares that he lived during the day.

The Next Day

As the brothers got ready for school miles away from each other, Jimmy went downstairs when he was done and had a pleasant breakfast with his parents and then headed off to school to see his friends who all hated it there just like him. Eric started watching to class as soon a he got to school, reading while walking was something that he always did.

"Oh sorry" said Eric to Clark Kent after he bumped into him in the hallway

"That's okay Eric no problem" said Clark giving him a smile

Eric watched as Clark went to go meet up with his friends, he knew that Clark was adopted as well and it always seemed that he had the perfect life as far as he could tell. After the uneventful days they both had, they went back home misery for one and happiness for the other.

Dear Jimmy,

Started Eric for the 3rd time that night…..that was as far as he got before he couldn't stand the thought of his brother having a better life than him.

A few weeks later school ended and after a summer of moving and organizing the new house Jimmy Olsen stated his senior year at Metropolis High school where he began interested in photography and Eric continued another painful year at Smallville High was he fell into a deeper depression.
