Chapter 2
Clark was at the dinner table in stunned silence. His mother had dropped a huge bombshell on him. Bombshell? Hell, this was an atomic bomb! "W-What?" He said with tears in his eyes, "you're not my mother?"
"No, no sweetheart." Said Martha, "I said I'm not your biological mother. You see, about ten years ago there was an event called the 'Starfall'. Earth was being hit with meteorites and nearly anyone paid attention to it. Your father and I were headed home after visiting his sister and that was when a huge meteor was heading right for us. Jonathan had got out of the way and pulled over after it crash in a field." She took a sip of water, "it turned out that meteor was a ship. Your ship, we found you inside as a baby and took you to see if you were hurt." She chuckled, "turns out you were a very healthy child."
"But how does that explain how I can do all what I did Ma?" Said Clark, "I mean I can bench a city bus!"
"Now Clark, I'm getting to it." She said, "follow me." So they went to the barn where the ship was.
Once there they went to a secret basement and had seen a huge thing covered in a tarp. "Help me with this," she said and he did. That was when they had seen the ship. It was long and on the front of it was an 'S' in a pentagon. "Your father was going to tell you the truth tonight but, that didn't work out to well." She said then placed her hands on his shoulder so he can look her in the eyes. "Yes, you are an alien but, that doesn't matter to me. You are my son and I love you no matter what." With that, they hugged each other tightly.
During that summer, Clark was getting the hang of his powers, he was plowing and tending to fields using his strength and speed, go on errands for his mom and help rebuild certain things on the farm. But Martha knew he wanted to find out more about himself and what he was capable of. So she went into her jewelry box and pulled out a black crystal with the same marking as the ship on the top. It was about six inches to a foot long, she went outside and called him. "CLARK!" Just then she heard a slight boom and saw something flying right for the house.
It was Clark, he landed in front of her. "Yes ma'am?" He said, she showed him the crystal.
"I know you want to find out about yourself and I want you to but, only when you feel you're ready." She said. He nodded and she handed him the crystal. He looked at it and sighed, then handed it back to her.
"I'm not ready yet, but I will ask for it when I am." He said, she nodded. "Right now though I'm just going to enjoy what time I have with you Ma." So with that, Martha and Clark went in to have dinner.
Meanwhile off planet, a spaceship was making its way to Earth and on it was a young girl, in stasis and learning all about her new home. She was also dreaming about being with her cousin one day so that they may bring back the Kryptonian race.
