Hey, everyone I'm really sorry for not updating this story in a really long time, but I've been really busy with my school work and I was stuck with writer's block for awhile. Please keep sending and posting positive reviews, but if you do have some negative comments let me know as long as they're appropriate and not just a bunch of swears because they aren't appreciated.

Disclaimer: I don't anything to do with Man of Steel, except for all of the OC characters I use and this story I do own.


In no time at all, we arrived at the Kent's Farm so we quickly got out of the car knocking on the door to be greeted by a cheerful Mrs. Kent allowing us to enter.

"Why hello, Jake it's so good to see you again after all these years. The last time I saw you was on your graduation day," Mrs. Kent exclaimed happily, but I could tell she was only trying to be polite. Clark's parents have been a little wary of him ever since he joined the military and began working with the government not that I blame them. It's understandable and as much as I hate to admit it, even I'm a little hesitant to be around my big brother.

"It's good to be back after all these years, Mrs. Kent, sadly though I wish I could stay a little while longer, but you know duty calls and Rachel here decided it was about time we had some brother/sister time in the Arctic," Jake explained in annoyance and I lightly kicked him in the shin.

"Oh, and I forgot to tell you that invited Clark, too," I said cheerfully making him give me a slight glare.

"And I guess Clark's joining us, too. Well, actually that's not a bad idea. I can trust him to keep you out of trouble," Jake replied thoughtfully with a smug smirk and I pouted mock angrily.

"Doesn't anybody trust me by myself? I'm a grown woman for Pete's sake!" I exclaimed huffing exasperatedly crossing my arms across my chest making Jake and Mrs. Kent to chuckle at my antics.

"Rachel, it's you we're talking about, here. You're definition of adventure has the same meaning as trouble," a familiar baritone pointed out from behind me catching everyone else's attention.

"That's not fair!" I exclaimed indignantly glaring at him lightly and he smirked making me force down the blush that wanted to surface across my face. Clark was dressed from head to toe in winter clothes just like me and Jake were so we'd be protected by the cold environment in the Arctic. He raised an eyebrow up at me.

"Fair? Most of your adventures in whoever you dragged with you into trouble, mainly me," Clark stated calmly and I smiled sweetly.

"It's not my fault you were always so willing to go with me all of the time," I replied sweetly and Clark rolled his eyes in amusement.

"That was because you were always threatening to pull a vicious prank over me if I didn't cooperate," Clark said not even missing a beat, but before I had a chance to say something back Jake beat me to the punch.

"Okay, okay, we get it love birds, but in case you've both forgotten we're on a tight schedule," Jake said while glancing at the watch on his arm that I hadn't even noticed.

"Well, we gotta go Mrs. Kent, but don't worry we'll return Clark to you safe and sound…hopefully," I said muttering the last part, but she heard it anyway and gave me a stern look. I chuckled nervously and reassured her that I was only kidding about the last part. We all piled into the truck after putting Clark's stuff in the trunk and then Jake practically stomped on the gas pedal making us jerk backwards into our seats from the speed the car is going. No matter how many attempts we made at trying to get Jake to slow down, he would only ignore us saying that everything was going to be fine as he raced towards the airport. They let us go through onto a private military jet plane where they put all of our stuff on it, and ushering us into our seats quickly since we were already late as it is.

"The troublesome duo are back together again for another exciting adventure," I whispered mischievously into Clark's ear. We're both sitting side by side near the window while Jake is near the pilot's seat making small talk with his army friends. Clark chuckled sending me an amused and reminiscent smile.

"Yeah, just like old times," Clark whispered into my ear making the hair on the back of my neck stand on end from his close proximity. I yawned a bit as my eyes began to droop a little and I rested my head against Clark's shoulder feeling him tense a bit before he relaxed.

"I'm just going to…take a short nap…wake me up when we get there, okay, Clark?" I mumbled sleepily and before my eyes closed I heard him say okay.


I'm sorry this is a really short chapter, but I promise that I will update this again on wednesday or some other time this week.
