Some years after he killed Jenna, Clark and Chloe's classmate in the Smallville High school, Sean Kelvin was going to leave the mental hospital. The doctors said that he was better, because he'd stopped saying that he needs heat to live. (Remember: Sean Kelvin, from episode 1.05Cool, was affected by the meteors and he needed heat to survive because his body had been frozen in the lake…) But when he was taken out from the water, after Clark throw him there again, Sean had lost his power, and now he was a normal boy again, well… the most normal he could be after what happened to him…
Sean had spent five years in the mental hospital, five years remembering that he had killed a girl, trying to understand what happened to him, knowing about the-boy-who-stopped-him secret, five years thinking on this boy hot mother, the last woman he saw…
"The fly goes perfect, Lionel, don't worry…" was saying Martha by the phone.
"I'm sorry… but, I can't believe that you're in Washington…"
"Neither me" she answered laughing.
"I will visit you really soon, I promise" he said.
"You needn't… I will be fine"
"So… aren't you going to miss me?"
"Oh… of course I will! I will miss you as much I will miss Clark, and the farm, and the town… I can't believe I'm so far…" said Martha taking her luggage and leaving the airport.
"Do you already know where you have to go?"
"Lionel… doesn't worry! How have I to tell you? I'm fine… Look, I'm seen the man who's waiting me…" said Martha looking at the man who was in front of a limousine with a paper with her name written on it "I have a limousine waiting for me!" whispered "That will be really good!" she exclaimed "Hello" said Martha to the man giving him the luggage and going into the car.
"I'm not sure if I will be able to come tomorrow, but I will be here on Friday, ok?"
"Lionel! I left just some hours ago…"
"And I'm missing you a lot!"
"Oh, dear… I have to leave you… I haven't called Clark yet…"
"He will be worried!"
"Lionel… I haven't done it because you rang me at the same moment I went out the plane" she said laughing.
"Sorry… ok… see you soon, Senator"
"See you soon!"
Martha put down the call and rang her son to tell him that she had arrived to Washington… but he didn't answer…
"Well… I will try later…" she said to herself.
The driver take her to her new home, a luxury apartment near her new office. He gave her the key and a welcome letter which explain that her first meeting was the next Monday, so she had some days to get used to her new home, and to know the city.
It was a lovely flat, with two rooms, so she decided that she will used the second one to have her own office at home. The living room was bigger than the farm's one, and the kitchen was so new! Before she could leave her clothes at the wardrobe, the phone rang.
"Yeah?"
"It's Clark, mum"
"Hi, sweetheart… I called you…"
"I know… sorry… I was with Chloe and I didn't listen it… So… are you already at your new home?"
"Yes, I am… it's… incredible, Clark!"
"And which is your new address? I want to visit you soon!"
"Oh, of course… it's…"
Martha gave the address to her son, and she hadn't already said him goodbye after tell him how the fly went and that Lionel had called her immediately, somebody rang the door.
"Oh… wait a while sweetheart, I have my first visit…" she said as she walked to the door and opened it.
"Hello mum!"
"Clark!" she exclaimed when she found her son in front of her putting down the phone. "What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to be your first visit in Washington" he smiled kissing his mother cheek "Wow! That's amazing!" he said going in and looking round the flat.
"It really is…" she said remembering that just her son could begin a phone-call in Smallville and be in Washington before finish it… "Are you staying for lunch?" she asked.
"No… I just wanted to see this… I will be a little busy this week… so I wanted to make sure that you will be in a comfortable place…" her mother stared at him "It was a joke… but I really wanted to know that you'll be ok… I haven't spend a lot of night without you in the farm… and knowing that you're so far… it will be really strange, mum…"
"I will be fine, sweetheart…" she said "It's the same I said to Lionel"
"Ok, mum… I have to leave… I'm having lunch with Lois…" he kissed her mother and left.
Two days later Martha went for a walk in the city. She'd been two days preparing the apartment, putting all things in its place, thinking on what she had to do during her first days at work… and now she wanted a rest. Lionel hadn't visited her yet, but he had called her twice, just that morning. She was worried about that… after thanksgiving their relationship had been stop, but since some weeks ago it seems to be closer than ever, and she wasn't sure of what that meant.
She saw a lovely café in a corner and she stopped to drink some tea and eat something. The man who was going to enter behind her, opened her the door.
"Thanks" she said, but she couldn't see his face really good.
He sat at the table next to her, just at her back, and they left at the same time. Walking, Martha arrived to a park. It was nice, and she sat on a bench. The man sat next to her, but she didn't notice it was the same.
"Hello Mrs. Kent" he sat. And Martha immediately turned to him. "Don't you remember me?"
"Should I know you?" asked Martha trying to remember that face.
"It was some years ago… we met at the Luthor Mansion… My name's Sean Kelvin"
"Sean Kelvin…?" Martha made an effort to remember that name… "Oh my god!" screamed Martha when the image of the-young-classmate-of-his-son's frozen face came to her mind…
"I said you should remember me…" he said smiling… she seemed a kind boy, now.
But as he said that Martha stood up.
"You should stay, senator" said him grasping her wrist and pulling her down. Martha sat down again, trying to be calm.
"What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to meet you… I've spent all these years thinking on you, Mrs. Kent… We could have had a nice time that day if your son hadn't appeared…"
"I have some work to do…" she said trying to leave, but he still grasping her wrist.
"I found you really hot… and I still doing it…" whispered him caressing her hair.
"Sean… I'm really glad to have seen you again, but…"
"I know your son' secret, Mrs. Kent" said him. Then Martha shut up and didn't move. "He had really strange powers… and at the mental hospital of Metropolis there are a lot of people who know about him, Mrs Kent… I have had a lot of time to think, to study, to search… I know that what gave me powers once, can also kill him…"
"I don't know what you're talking about…" she whispered with tears on her eyes.
"Of course you know…" and he took a piece of kryptonite from his pocket. "What I don't know if how much pain he feels when he has a piece of this near his body…" she said smiling as Martha looked at the piece of kryptonite and take it. "You can take it… I have more like this…"
"What do you want?" asked Martha.
"For the moment… nothing" said him releasing her hand and caressing his chin "Just… don't tell everybody about this… Ok? We'll meet again, soon…" He stood up, kissed her forehead, and left her alone on the bench, with her tears falling down on that piece of green stone.
