I would give my life for you - 1
This is a what-would-happen-if fanfic that begins when Jonathan come back home after being in the hospital at Fanatic episode (5.10):
Jonathan was tired after been attacked. He was hoping to arrive home and rest on his bed before return to his meetings the next day. But when he opened the door he found something he had never expected to: a suitcase.
He closed the door and stayed a while watching at that big suitcase which was at his entrance. Clark came from the kitchen.
"What's that? Do we have any visit?" asked Jonathan to his son.
"It isn't that, dad..." said Clark sadly, and then he turned his look to the stairs, which Martha was going down with two more suitcases on her hands.
"Are you going anywhere?" asked Jonathan, and Clark returned to the kitchen.
"I'm leaving" said Martha with a law voice and looking to the floor.
"What do you mean?" asked the man who couldn't understand the situation.
"I'm leaving the farm, Jonathan… I'm leaving you"
"What?! You can't leave me"
"Of course I can… It's what I'm doing"
"Where are you going?" asked him laughing, trying to believe that it was just a joke.
"I don't know… but I can't stay here…"
"I'm in the middle of the campaign, you can't leave me now!" said grasping her wrist.
"Release me, you're hurting me!" exclaimed Martha and Jonathan left her wrist.
"Sorry…" apologized "Martha I need you! I love you! Don't do this me!"
"I love you too, darling… but I can't… I'm not prepared to that… I woke up everyday wishing that when I opened my eyes you still breathing next to me… You can't ask me to stand this fight with Lex Luthor, because it's your fight… and I don't want to come home every day after work, and be worried for your life until you come back… because the day you will come back later I will become sick…"
"But this is not going to happen… I will be next to you every morning… and I will come back home before dinner… I promise!"
"No Jonatha… I'm tired of your promises. You have heart problems, and being a senator will get worse it… I love you too much to live next to you always thinking that this can be our last moment together…"
"Do you mean that's the end… We're going to leave twenty years of marriage here, just because I want to be a Senator… just because I'm trying to give you a better life…"
"That's not what you're trying… You want to win Lex on this elections. Well… don't worry… if you can survive until then…" she broke down and began to cry "… you will be able to win"
"You can't leave me… please…" Jonathan was crying too. He caressed Martha's cheeks.
"I will vote for you, Senator Kent" said Martha, she kissed his lips, and she opened the door.
Clark helped Martha to take the suitcases to her car, and Jonathan went up stairs and looked how she left from his room's window.
She had taken with her all her clothed. The cupboard was empty.
"Mum… can't you change your mind?" asked Clark when they put the last suitcase into the car.
"I'm sorry sweetheart" said her caressing his cheek "but I can't see how he kills himself at this way…" she tried to not cry again "I love him too much… I wouldn't be able to face it, dear… It was enough for me to wait three months until he came back from his coma… it's enough for me knowing that his heart can stop at any moment… but know that he has been risking his life in this elections without say anything to us, know that he can be killed just because he don't want Lex to win the elections… I can't… it's too much for me…" she finally broke down again "Please… try to understand me, son. I need time to think about all what's happening…"
"I understand you, mum… but it's too difficult to me to see you leave the farm"
"Well… I will call you soon to say where I'm staying… Don't worry for me, just take care of him… ok?"
"Ok mummy…" he hugged her and kissed her forehead "Bye bye"
She went into the car, and Clark closed the door and stayed there to see how his mother's car left the farm.
