Jason lay in his bed listening to his mother and father discuss his unusual abilities as quietly as they could. He remembered when earlier that day, his mom had told him all about how even though Richard was his dad, he also had a different biological father, which was why he could do stuff that a normal kid couldn't. His mom hadn't gone into much detail, but he did notice that when his mom had told them, his dad had looked very surprised and sad. When He had seen his dad's unexpected expression, he ran up and gave Richard a big hug.
Now he was listening very closely to the discussion going on downstairs.
"How could you do this Lois? How could you lie to me about something like this?" Richards's voice whispered.
"I didn't even know or suspect it myself. Not until, till Jason…" Jason could tell that their conversation was coming to an end so he reclined his head more into his Superman pillow.
" I think that we should continue this discussion later, before anyone of us says something inappropriate." Richard replied as he began to accent the stairs. When he approached Jason's room, Jason Quickly closed his eyes and tried to make himself appear to be sleeping.
"I will always be your dad. No matter what ever happens, Jason." Richard said as he pulled Jason into a hug. He opened his eyes and smiled at his father. "Goodnight daddy" he replied. Once his dad had left the room, Jason pushed off his covers and stared up at his bare ceiling as he tried to figure out what his dad had meant.
He could hear the clicking of his mothers keyboard from downstairs. This constant sound soothed Jason and comforted him; it was the equivalent to another mother singing her child to sleep.
"He is very confused at the moment"
Jason could hear his mothers voice coming from outside. He had been dreaming of Superman saving him from falling off a giant cliff to his death. His mom and dad must have continued their conversation about him.
"Jason is going to start asking questions."
With those words Jason realized he was not listening to a conversation between his mom and dad, but between his mom and Superman! Excitement filled his body and he almost sat straight up in his bed, but he knew that if he moved or did anything unexpected Superman would be able to see and hear him.
"If we wait any longer, I am afraid that his abilities are going to be uncontrollable, as well as more noticeable to the general public." Superman said in a calm but forceful voice.
