Metropolis, three months later
On the streets of Metropolis, the one and only Clark Joseph Kent were walking on the sidewalk without a care in the world. Clark stopped walking when he looks at a displace car in a window then he walked toward it. Clark smiled then flash to a bank where we see him stealing money from ATM machines after he got all the money, he went back to get that car that he liked. Clark then took his new car and took a girl who he picked up to a nightclub. When he was at the nightclub, he stopped the car and then both he and his date got out and walked toward the entrance.
"Cool ride Kal," a man said using the name Clark was now using, which was his birth name
"Like it, it's your" Clark said tossing him the keys, before leading his date toward the club
Once they were in the club Clark led his date toward the bar where they stopped at. Clark's date asked him where he was from and he answered with "somewhere I'm trying to forget". Afterward, they started to kiss, but then his date started asking a question about his scar that his birth father Jor-El gave him before he left taking Chole's Red Kryptonite ring with him. When Clark had enough he grip his date wrist rather harshly.
"Ouch that hurt jerk'' his date said as she left him at the bar with him and the bartender staring after her
"What the deal Kal, every night you come with a babe; but you always leave empty-handed. Are you a monk or something?'' the bartender asked
"What the point of starting something that will end badly'' Clark said giving him a hundred dollar bill before leaving
Once Clark was out of the club and in the street; his chest started to burn, causing Cark to quickly run to a phone booth. Once there he ripe his shirt open when the burning pain started to increase but when he ripe his search open the scar was glowing. Clark then fell to the floor of the booth and try to take the ring off of his finger. Clark then got up and called his parent's number, but when his mother answered he couldn't say anything. After a while, he hangs up the phone and put the ring back on and became ''Kal'' again.
The next morning Clark was riding his bike right into a window of a bank that was being robbed wearing a mask. Clark then saved the hostages, but after he robbed the bank himself. When Clark walked out of the bank; there was the police but then again they aren't a problem for him anyway.
On the Kent Farm back in Smallville, Kansas; Jonathan and Martha Kent tried to find their oldest son Clark Joseph Kent over the last months while caring for their second child William Jonathan Kent who is four months instead of three. Early July they found that their child was aging faster than normal, so Jonathan went to the cave and demand to know why while yelling at Jor-El. After mere seconds of yelling Jor-El answered him, telling Jonathan that he gave them back their child, but he also added DNA from him and Lara his wife along with some more Kryptonian DNA to make him full Kryptonian but not enough to erase Jonathan and Martha's DNA. Jor-El also said that was the reason he's aging four times a year and he will continue aging that way until he's twenty. Jonathan after hearing that had gotten mad and demanded to know why and where Clark was, but Jor-El wouldn't answer.
When Jonathan arrived back home, he angrily told Martha what Jor-El said, but after he looked at William aka Will whom they called him as a nickname, he calmed down. Martha looked like fish and asked why but Jonathan said Jor-El wouldn't answer that question or the question where Clark was. Now that the aging mystery solved, all they needed was to find and get Clark back. Now weeks later they were still trying to find Clark, Martha just had answered a call yesterday which she knew it was Clark but he hangs up after a while. She was now on the floor playing with Will with Jonathan watching when Pete Ross Clark's best friend came in with the newspaper.
"His crimes are just getting bigger and bigger'' Pete said to both Jonathan and Martha
"We can't be sure it's Clark'' Martha said to Jonathan and Pete
"Look I know you don't wanna believe but It's him; what are we gonna do'' Pete said/asked
Will from his mother's hip looked at the newspaper and knew his older brother need help. Will is a smart baby even for his age, but for his family weirdness is their normal. Will watch his mother try to calm his father down from his play pin where his mother had put him, before going over to his father. Will watched until the 4 months year old baby decided to break out and crawl to the door, but he was stopped by Pete.
"Whoa there little fella, where do you think you're going," Pete asked Will who just stared at him
"Oh Will not again'' Martha said after she clams Jonathan down
Jonathan just shook his head at the sight; he knew that William will be different ever since he was born. He didn't know how much different his son would be, but after Jor-El told him about his son; he thought that will be it but of course he was wrong because when he holds his son the first time the little guy put his hand on his face and showed him memories and had talked inside his head. After that moment he went back to Jor-El and had asked about that but Jor-El would only say that it wasn't from him and from Jonathan's line but wouldn't answer anymore expect the fact that William will be so much more and so much smarter than others babies. Jonathan knew Jor-El was going to be right when he had put Will down in his first play pin as he was making a sandwich and he saw Will looked around annoyed then with blinking Johnathan saw his son put two bars apart and just crawl out of his play pin. After that Martha bought a second one but Will had broken out of that one too.
Jonathan had tried to tell Martha that it wouldn't do any good to buy another play pin, but she wouldn't listen and bought the third one. Now this play pin was his sixth one and he doubted if Martha would buy another. After a while, Pete went home and they all went upstairs to sleep. When Jonathan woke up again, he found that Will wasn't in his crib so he jumped and looked everywhere for his son
Martha took her son from Pete and carried him to the living room, where they both watch from Cartoons from the floor. Martha looks toward Johnathan and Pete to find them talking again. Soon Pete when home and Johnathan joined his wife and son. William, who was still watching TV, turned his hand around to find that his parents fell asleep; so he broke free from his mother without waking her and blurred his way toward and through the door. Soon after William left, the noise that was made woke the parents up.
"Shit, Martha you search the farm; while I will take the trunk and drive around," Johnathan said as he saw the door and quickly getting up
Martha was also on her feet and rushing toward the door to look outside, hopefully, all William wanted to do was to go outside. Jonathan grabs his keys and ran out toward his truck.
Meanwhile, William made it all the way into town before he had to stop in front of a building. A blond haired woman was walking to the building when she notices William.
"Hello little guy, how did you get here?'' the woman asked William as she lifted him up into her arms
The woman entered the building and William saw Lana, who visits him every week. Lana who was behind the counter look up and saw her friend Chloe Sullivan with little William in her arms and coming toward her.
"Hey Will, how did you get here little guy? Where did you find him? Chloe" Lana said/asked as she moved around the counter
"Will? Oh that's right Jonathan and Martha Kent's second born" Chloe asked/said after realizing
"Yes Chloe, Jonathan and Martha's son as in Clark's brother! You know Clark, our friend that you gave up on" Lana said
"Look I found him outside and I just came here to see you, you look swamped'' Chloe said looking at Will and back to Lana changing the subject somewhat
"Yeah I am swamped here; your dad said you spend the entire every noon at the daily planet. Oh did I hear you right you found little Will outside on the sidewalk'' Lana said as she took William from Chloe
"Yeah well as far as my editor's concerned, picking up his dry cleaning is more of a priority than meeting face to face with the junior columnist. I thought maybe we could have lunch and yes you did hear right the little guy was just sitting near here, when I found him'' Chloe reply/asked
''I can't with Lex gone the Talon's been relegated to LuthorCorp accountants who have no interest in a coffee shop in Smallville'' Lana said as she took a seat on a stool
''Okay. Uh, well, if you need a ride to Lex's funeral I'm always available for chauffeuring and moral support'' Chloe offered
''Thanks but I'm going with the Kents and maybe I can take this little guy back to his parents'' Lana said as she stands back up from the stool she was sitting on
"Have you heard from Clark?" Chloe asked
"I was thinking of staying in Metropolis with Nell for a few days. I feel guilty I haven't spent more time searching for him and why do you seem happy to hear that little one?'' Lana said to Chloe then to Will
''He's not lost, Lana'' Chloe said causing Will to make a face at her as Lana walked behind the counter to get Will some milk
"You may have written him off, but I can't give up hope and I also think you made little William upset '' Lana said looking at Will
"Clark ran away. He made a conscious decision to leave his friends, his family, and the girl he claimed to love. Lana, I know we've said our piece about what happened and we can continue doing the avoidance dance we've perfected all summer, but the fact is I'm worried about you'' Chloe said
"I'm the last person you need to worry about'' Lana reply as she fed Will the bottle
"Pining over Clark only leads to personal misery. Trust me, I wrote the book. Now you need to move on. He obviously has, ouch Will no throwing '' Chloe said which cause Will throw the bottle at her then after Chloe told Will
"Why do you even have baby bottles here?" Chloe asks as she picked up the bottle
'' I have them here for the mothers who bring their babies here and for Will when Martha comes here. I also don't believe what you just said; I just think he's waiting for the right person to find him. Now let's get you back to mommy and daddy alright'' Lana said as she took Will from Chloe then walked off without saying anything about William throwing the bottle, which Chloe still has
Chloe watched Lana as she walked out of Talon with Will in her arms. Chloe was about to leave too as she was going to meet Lionel Luther in those caves.
