AN: I know that a little over a year ago I said that I had messed up my story but this past year after I managed to get my laptop fixed I realized that I was wrong and that I could continue this story with a sequel and not have to total anything, so don't forget the epilogue because I plan to keep it to that but this is what happens between that kiss until then I hope. So with that said I hope you enjoy the first chapter of An Alien in Sunnydale year 2. Also I sadly still own nothing.
Conner never would have imagined what perfection was, but as he stood there his lips pressed against Buffy's, his hand traveling over her back, her hands wrapped tightly around his neck. And he now knew what a perfect moment and this was a truly perfect moment, one that he hoped never ended.
"Ah I'm blind my god I've gone blind, my poor eye!" Xander screamed his hands coming up to cover his eyes as if they had actually been damaged by the sight, before he began to stumble back into the house covering his eyes with one hand while he used his other to feel his way back in. Conner couldn't help but to smile at his best male friend's antics. His eyes slowly looked down at the top of a blond head of hair, which was resting against his chest, her ear right over his heart. Conner smiled softly as he lifted his hand up to gently caress her face, his thumb rubbing back and forth across her cheek as he looked into her stunning green eyes. His heart stuttering as he saw the sliver of betrayal in her eyes.
Buffy couldn't help the blush that covered her cheeks at the reaction that Xander had to seeing her and Conner's kiss, but as she rested her head against his chest pressing her ear to his chest, a small smile on her face as she simply listened to his strong steady heartbeat, using that sound to reassure her that he was still alive, but at the same time she couldn't help the feelings of betrayal at the fact that Conner hadn't told her the truth about him. Buffy sighed softly as she felt Conner's strong hand gently caress her cheek, before his thumb just began to travel back and forth in a very comforting manner. It shocked Buffy how much power she knows that he has, and yet to feel his hand touch her face so gently as if she was something amazingly fragile, left her almost breathless as she lifted her head to look into Conner's stunning blue eyes a feeling that she hadn't seen before shining in his eyes.
"Conner we need to talk, about everything." Buffy said softly, stepping away from Conner before walking up the steps of his porch and sitting on one of the porch chairs, and watching as Conner, came at a slow steady pace before sitting in the chair feelings of dread settling over his heart with every step.
"Okay Buffy, what's on your mind?" Conner asked his heart slamming against his chest as he felt fear gripping his chest, at the thoughts that plagued his mind.
"Conner I care about you I really do, but the fact is you lied to me, and I'm just not sure that I know you as well as I thought I did. So I just, I can't do this, not now, not with all these secrets between us." Buffy said, unable to look into Conner's eyes afraid of what she might see there, but she knew that what she was saying was right, with all these secrets between them if they were to start a relationship now it wouldn't work and in the end it had the chance of ruining the friendship that the two had developed.
Conner sighed as he heard what Buffy was saying and he knew that she was right even if he didn't want to admit it, neither of them had been honest about who they truly were and so they didn't know enough about each other to start an open and honest relationship that wouldn't be doomed for failure. And the fact is that Conner truly cared about Buffy and he didn't want to lose her friendship, even if he didn't completely understand the feelings that were welling up inside his chest, and the pain that her statement brought about.
"Your right Buffy, we haven't been particularly honest with each other have we?" Conner said a small sigh escaping his mouth, working hard to push the pain that he was feeling in his chest back down. With that stated Conner put his hands on his knees as he slowly stood up before turning to Buffy a small smile coming to his face. "So let me begin to fix that. Hi my name is Conner Kent, and also Kon-EL one of the last sons of the planet Krypton." Conner said extending his hand towards Buffy.
Buffy couldn't help the small smile that came to her face as she looked up at Conner finding it almost magical how he looked standing there with the bright rays of the sun shining behind him, silhouetting his frame almost as if he was part of the light himself. With a smile Buffy stood up grasping his hand firmly. "Hi my name is Buffy summers and I'm the vampire slayer." Both shook the others hand a warm smile as they looked at the other hoping that with the truth now out there things would change for the better.
It wasn't long after that, that Buffy, Giles, Xander, and Willow left Conner's home after the long night that everyone had had so that they could all return home to enjoy their nice warm beds, and sleep through the day. But for Conner this wasn't a possibility, the sun was currently up supercharging his cells making it impossible for him to go to sleep. With these facts in mind Conner slipped into super speed and ran to the one place that he could always go and think things through.
Minutes later Conner found himself standing in the loft of the bran at the Kent family farm, looking out the window at the place that had become his home, were he could be himself without ever having to fear of judgment. It was seconds later that Conner's sensitive hearing picked up the sound of four paws walking up the stairs toward s Conner's position in the loft.
"Hey Shelby, how's the big dog doing?" Conner asked as he knelt down his hand already running over the dog's head, a smile splitting Conner's face as he looked at the dog's face that appeared to be smiling his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Before Shelby leaned forward his tongue darting out to lick Conner's face.
"So boy shall I go do some farm work, what do you think." Conner smiled as he watched Shelby run down the steps. "I guess that's a yes huh." Conner stated with laughter echoing in his voice. Before he jogged down the steps himself, before sprinting out into the back fort were for the rest of the day Conner and Shelby work the farm just like they did for a number of months before Conner left for Sunnydale to begin his time as Superboy.
As night rolled in Conner couldn't help but to smile as he a Shelby walked back into what they expected to be an empty house, stunned t see both Clark and an obviously angry Lois standing there her hands on her hips, and her left foot tapping impatiently.
"Um hi guys what are you guys doing here?" Conner asked confused about their presence at this point.
"What are we doing here; you want to know what we're doing here?" Lois asked her voice rising as she repeated the question. "Were here because someone decided to fight a witch blessed super powered vampire that could have killed him and instead of calling for help he chose to fight it alone!" Lois finished her speech in an enraged scream, causing both Clark and Conner to flinch at the loud volume of Lois's voice.
Conner sighed as he realized that somehow Lois and Clark had learned about Zatan, so with that knowledge in mind Conner looked directly at the two and asked. "Yeah I did Lois, what's your point?"
Lois's faces shifted in anger as she glared at the young man. "What's my point, my point is that you should have called for help from Clark or the league not taken it on solo." Lois growled at Conner rage clear in her voice.
"I couldn't" Conner stated softly, his soft voice freezing Lois and causing her face to soften even if she didn't mean it to.
"What do you mean you couldn't Conner?" Clark asked his little brother softly truly curious as to why Conner thought that he couldn't ask for help, and praying that it didn't have anything to do with his pride.
"Clark if I had called you all would have come to help without a second thought, and I couldn't let that happen." Conner stated calmly planning to explain further only to be interrupted by an irate Lois.
"So what this was all about your ego! You just had to prove that you could handle it, that's just such a lu" Lois screamed not expecting the rage that quickly came over Conner's face as he spun to glare at Lois.
"just such a what Lois, a Luthor like thing to do, well for your fucking piece of mind the reason I didn't call Clark or the league wasn't because of my god damned ego, it was because I needed to know that if I failed, that if I couldn't kill Zatan Clark would still be here to stop him, and we both know that if Clark had been there he would have taken any hit that might have got to me, and could have very well died trying to protect me. I just couldn't take that risk." Conner finished a deep resonating sigh escaping his lips as he turned and walked back out the door and up the stairs to the loft, dropping sadly onto the couch, the heart wrenching thought that Lois thought that he could do something so Luthor hurting him immensely.
It was two hours later that Conner heard a set of high heeled shoes gently walking up the stair towards him. He didn't glance over as he felt the air shift when Lois sat down next to him.
"Conner I'm sorry." Lois started looking at Conner sadly knowing that she had hurt him, with her accusation.
"Did you know that a few months ago something placed everyone into their worst fears, do you know what mine was Lois?" Conner asked softly still refusing to look at her for fear that she'd she the tears of fear that wore clinging to the corners of his eyes.
"No Conner I don't" Lois responded honestly knowing that whatever Conner was about to tell her truly terrified him. Lois didn't know what to expect but the response that she got broke her heart.
"I killed all the people important to me, I had become just like the other ten percent of my DNA, and the worst part is that I know whether I want to admit it or not that's always a possibility for me." Conner stated breaking down half way through his retelling of that horrible event, finding solace in Lois's arms as she pulled him in wrapping her arms around the crying young man as tears broke free of her tear ducts and ran down her cheeks.
"that's not going to happen Conner, you hear me, you're so much better then Lex ever was, that's why I know that you're going to be an amazing hero, you hear me Conner Kent, our going to grow up to not only be an amazing hero but also a good man, and don't you ever forget that." Lois said holding the young man close to her. They spent the next hour just sitting there trying to forget the pain that both had felt, Conner for what Lois had stated and his memory of that night, Lois for her cruel words and the knowledge that Conner had been hurt by those thoughts that she had brought back.
The next morning dawned bright waking all three of the houses resident, after a nice family breakfast Clark and Lois left back to Metropolis to return to the Daily Planet and continue their life as Reporters, Conner spent the better part of the day working the fields like he and Clark used to before with one final smile he picked up Shelby and slipped into super speed, returning to Sunnydale with his dog friend resting comfortably in his arms.
"Well boy welcome to your new home." Conner said with a smile as he looked down at Shelby, watching as the dog began to smell around the new home. While he was doing this Conner placed Shelby's bowl down in the kitchen filled it with food and then walked upstairs, Shelby following in his wake, and with practiced ease Conner slipped into his night clothes before falling onto his bed, a smile coming to his face as he felt the bed dip when Shelby jumped up laying down at Conner's feet, and the two were quickly asleep.
