October 12,1989.

What is the significance of this day you may ask?

It was the day that changed the lives of every man,woman,and child on Earth. It was on that balmy day in 1989 that the greatest hero that the world,the universe would ever know arrived in the sleepy little hamlet known as Smallville. It was on that day that the destinies of two children were forever linked by the chains of destiny. In the years to come many would come to see this as the beginning of a hero's journey but at it's core it is something else. At it's core lays a love so strong that it would become legend.

The love story of Clark Kent and Chloe Sullivan.

Every story,no matter how epic,usual has a humble beginning. Clark and Chloe's story truly begins on the distant planet known as was on this amazing planet of ice and crystals that Clark was born. In fact he was the last child born before the planet's destruction. Clark Kent,born Kal-El was the only son of a revered scientist Jor-El and his wife Lara. It was through Jor-El's genius that he discovered that Krypton's sun was rapidly destabilizing and would explode in 30 days. When the Kryptonian Ruling Council wouldn't believe him he knew that he had to take immediate action to save his love ones. Unfortunately he only had enough time to build a ship big enough for his son. He completed the ship on the very day that the planet entered it's death throes. Clark's ship escaped the planet's fiery destruction scant seconds before the sun went supernova. Like a space age Moses Clark was set adrift on his version of the River Nile but he hadn't made the trip to Earth alone. Several thousand pounds of debris had gotten caught in his ship's wake and had been drawn to the planet just as he was. On the morning of October 12th Smallville Kansas was hit by a devastating meteor shower. Clark's ship landed safely during the meteor shower that destroyed much of the close knit farming community. Clark was found by a kindly farmer named Jonathan Kent and his wife Kent was instantly enamored with the to have children of their own Martha Kent convinced her husband that they should keep the boy and rest him as their the unusual circumstances in which they found him he reluctantly and Martha Kent named him Clark,her maiden name. As Clark aged he came to realize just how different he was from everyone around was much stronger,faster,and smarter than all the other kids in school. When he was five Clark vanished for several parents were fanatic until they got a call from the Smallville Library. Clark had walked to the library in town and started the time his father had come to get him he had read every book in the building. Shortly after they got home Clark asked the question that his parents had dreaded he'd ask.

Why was he different?

His father proceeded to take him into the storm cellar and show him the ship that he had arrived in. He told Clark everything that then be upset by the startling revelation of his alien origins it had put his mind at even had a better perspective on certain things. The dreams that he would sometimes have of a world of ice that was stained red by the light of a giant red sun now made sense to was dreaming of the planet that he was born on. He also realized why his parents wanted him to hide his gifts from the world. He now knew why it was so important. From that moment on he kept his various gifts under wraps. To those who knew him Clark Kent was a quiet,intelligent,and unassuming child who kept to himself and loved to gaze up at the he was twelve Clark began to test his abilities late at them and himself to the limits. Clark wanted to see just how fast he could far he could how much he could lift. Clark grew into a amiable young man who was always respectful to others but somewhat need to keep his powers a secret distanced him from all those around him. As well-adjusted as Clark was he still wished that he knew just why his birth parents sent him away. Or if there were anymore like him out there. Unfortunately all the answers to his questions were locked away in his ship. A ship that hasn't opened since he climbed out of it. Nothing they did could open even Clark's great strength could open his questions went totally unanswered. Clark only had one friend growing up and his name was Pete Ross. They became friend when Clark saved him from a he turned thirteen Clark's life forever changed. It was at the age of thirteen that he was introduced to a tiny human shaped hurricane named Chloe did he know then but the pushy transplant from Metropolis would become one of the most important people in his became fast friends after Principal Kwan asked him to give her a tour of the school on her first even let her convince him to take her to the a tour of his home circumstances forced Clark to use his abilities to save her fearfully told her about response was to kiss easy acceptance of his alien status formed a bond between them that would never be Kent had fallen in love that with her that very second. On that day the young Kryptonian had found a love that would last a lifetime.

Little did he know that Chloe and her mother Moira were two of the many whose lives had been touched by the events surrounding Clark's violent arrival on Earth. At the tender age of two Chloe and Moira Sullivan were caught in the meteor shower that rocked Smallville. Moira was taking Chloe to see her sister and Ella's daughters,Lois and Lucy,were the best of friends. Ella's husband Sam,a career military officer had gotten stationed at a military base outside of Grandville called Fort had just pasted Miller's field when a meteor struck the road next to her force of the meteor's explosive impact caused her to meteor's impact threw Moira Sullivan's car into one of the many corn fields that ran through Smallville. For several minutes they laid unconscious,the sickly green glow of a meteor fragment reflecting off their blood soaked faces. Chloe awake before he mother and somehow managed to get out of the overturned were found and taken to Smallville Medical soon after. Neither Moira or Chloe suffered any ill effect from the crash other then a few scrapes and bruises. Nor did they show any signs of illness from their exposure to the meteor's strange months later Moira Lane-Sullivan discovered that the doctors had been meteor's radiation had affected her. She discovered that she had the power to control the actions of others. A discovery made at the cost of her own had been playing one day and she wasted a bottle of finger paint all over her told her willful child to wash her hands but she wanted to finish playing. After telling her to wash her hands repeatedly Moira gently grabbed her by the arm and told her to wash her hands immediately. Moira was completely unaware that she had just used her new-found powers on her. Several hours later Moira found Chloe standing at the sink washing her hands. Much to her horror and shock she had discovered that Chloe had scrubbed her hands the point that they were bleeding. The blank stare that Chloe had in her eyes ceased the very second that her mother told her to stop. At that very moment she realized that she had done this to her own child. She had taken control of her mind. After dressing her wounds Moira made Chloe believe that she had hurt her hands riding her bike.

A lie that she also told her husband Gabe. Guilt,self-loathing,and shame eat away at Moira until she came to a heartbreaking decision. To protect her husband and child from the uncontrollable power that she possessed she decided to leave them. So on her daughter's third birthday Moira Sullivan kissed her husband and child goodbye and vanished without a the pain of losing her mother Chloe remained a bright,happy,inquisitive child. Chloe's road to destiny began on the day that her father got a promotion at LuthorCorp. A promotion that made him Manager at the LuthorCorp Fertilizer Plant in Smallville. And the rest,as they say,is history.

This is a the life and times of Clark Kent and Chloe Sullivan,their triumphs and tragedies,this is their story.
