Metropolis

Henry Kent looked around the airport. He had heard the plane with his grandparents come into the airport, but they hadn't come out of the plane yet. He looked around again, he had gotten here by himself, and hoped that he wouldn't get caught being at the airport without a parent before his Grandpa and Grandma arrived. When he saw Martha and Jonathan Kent hurry from the gate he let out the breath that he'd been holding. He met them halfway, and gave both a hug.

"Have you had anything to eat?"

Henry resisted rolling his eyes at his grandmother, "Yes Grandma, can we... go home?" He glanced around again as Jonathan put an arm around Henry's shoulders.

Neela paced to one side of the family waiting room, then reversed course and paced to the other side. Kim Luthor sat perfectly still, watching Neela think. She paused, but after a moment she shook her head and started pacing again.

Kim glanced up at the television. The Rescue Squad was still at the site, making sure that Abby and Superwoman were the only two people who had been caught in the blast.

Kim stood and Neela looked over, "What are you doing?"

Kim held her hands up, "Just a walk."

"Kim..."

Kim shook her head, "She has no family, and had to save a life because of me..." Neela paused and then nodded her head, "It's good that you approve. I would have gone anyway..."

Neela shook her head, "I know."

"You were right to call us Henry..."

Henry sat on the couch, next to Martha. Jonathan was at the window looking out. "They... on the news, that she was... I think, a coma..." He swallowed and seemed to almost disappear into the couch. "It's all my fault, I said..."

Jonathan turned, "No, kiddo. None of this is your fault. First we'll get you, get us something to eat, and then we'll figure out how we can see your Mom..."

Randi Lane skidded to a stop in the doorway of her big sister's room, "Hell sis, how'd you manage this?"

Abby brought her head up slowly, "Practice... have you... is Superwoman okay?"

Randi shrugged, "I wasn't really focused on the alien in tights, but my only sister. Sorry..."

Abby let her head fall back against the pillow, "Everything hurts."

"What happened Abby?"

Abby rubbed at her forehead and then dragged a hand through her hair, "I found something..."

Randi was all ears, "What?"

"I... I don't know, but I wouldn't have..." Abby paused, "I'm crazy, I know that, but I've, I'd never stay in a building that was exploding underneath me unless what I found was big."

Randi stared at Abby for a few more moments before she shook her head. "I'm glad you're okay, hard head and all."

"How... how did I survive this?"

"You don't remember?" Abby shook her head, "Superwoman saved you. They found her wrapped around you. Both of you were unconscious. She still is, they don't know what's wrong with her."

Abby glanced up with a frown, "What? That's not possible." Randi shrugged, "I need a phone."

Randi hurfed, "Abby..."

"Randi, I need a phone that won't make my heart explode."

Kim Luthor glanced around and slipped into Superwoman's room. She stared at the superhero. Just seeing her lying there, Kim realized how short and small the super powered woman really was. Kim's father had spent so much time obsessing about Superwoman, it was a bit amazing how such a small woman had inspired so much hatred and loathing in Lex Luthor. She watched Superwoman's chest slowly go up and down.

A throat cleared in the doorway. Kim turned and came face to face with a blonde haired man. The name on his coat was Morgenstern. "Are you family?"

"No. Kimberly Luthor."

Doctor Morgenstern's eyebrows both raised, "Are you planning to finish the job your building started?"

Kim jerked back at his words, "What? No."

Before she could say anything else Doctor Morgenstern held a hand up, "I'm sorry. That was uncalled for. Still, unless you're family, you'll need to leave."

Kim looked at Superwoman for another moment, "Of course Doctor." She left the room, making her way back to the family waiting room.

Neela was coming out of it as Kim approached. "We need to get to the site."

Kim shook her head, "You go, I need to do something..."

"Kim, I know what..."

Kim nodded, "Then go... go... solve this horrible problem for me... I have my own to solve."

Chicago - Real World

"Is she going to find out about Superwoman. She's not going to do something bad. Will Superwoman wake up and get better?"

Kim Legaspi rubbed Henry's back, "I bet she will..."

Henry wiggled, "I need to go.. go go..." Kim let go and Henry went into the bathroom.

Duncan and Selene both had bemused looks on their faces, "What, Mom, what?"

Selene's eyes started to get a bit misty, "You're a mother..."

Kim rolled her eyes, "Mom..."

"What..." Duncan shook his head at his wife as she continued speaking, "I was content in knowing that it would never happen, I was. But if..."

"Don't Mom, please..." Kim pinched the bridge of her nose, "Just don't."

Henry reappeared and sat next to Kim again, "Much better... Kim..."

He looked up at Kim and waited for her to respond, "Yes, oh Henry?"

"Can I... May I talk to Mama alone?"

Kim pondered Henry's request for a moment before she nodded, "Okay, but I'll be right outside the door." She and Henry both stood and went over to Kerry's bedside. "And you see that button."

"Emergency Button..."

Kim nodded, "Exactly."

Henry swiped at his nose with the back of one of his hands, "Mama showed me once. I remember."

"I'll be right outside, okay?" Henry nodded and didn't point out that Kim had already said that once. The three Legaspi's exited the room. Kim sagged against the wall and let out a long breath.

"Honey, we can..."

Kim looked up, "No. I mean, thank you for coming, but we'll be okay. I know you two have stuff to do..."

Selene hugged Kim to her for a long moment, "I'm your mother Kimberly, there is nothing in this world that is more important to do than take care of you and your brothers and sister. Just call us Kim, okay?" Kim nodded. Duncan gave his daughter a hug and then both elder Legaspis walked down the hall. Kim closed her eyes and leaned her head back against the wall again.
