A Friend in Need

Previously on Man of Tomorrow…

'I…..uhhh….Vale! She said she was going into Vale to meet some friends of hers!' Ruby said in realization. 'But the ferry doesn't come until morning! And Dad and Uncle Qrow are stuck here with me! Oh god what am I gonna-

"I'll head to Vale. Ok? Look Ruby I want you to stay home and call her friends and tell me what you find out. Ok?" he asked.

He could hear Ruby taking a shaky breath, 'Ok…..but be careful. Vale isn't like Smallville when it gets dark.' she warned.

Clark nodded as he exited his house and walked out into the night. "I'll find her Ruby. I swear." he said before hanging up and taking off as fast as he could on his way towards Vale.

And now, on to the story…

(000)

Clark didn't care if his shoes turned to putty from how fast he was going, he couldn't get to Vale fast enough. The dark didn't really obscure his vision thankfully, he could actually see fairly clearly in the dark. That and the full moon out probably helped.

As Clark continued running, he could just see the lights of the city buildings. But as he ran closer and closer to the city he could swear he heard a high pitch whine. Slowing down a little, didn't want to go so fast that he broke the sound barrier. He wasn't sure if he could go that fast of course but if he could he didn't want to do close to a city.

Clark leapt into the city like last time, this time landing in an abandoned lot. "Ahh, what the hell?" he asked, the high pitch in his ears not going away. Ignoring it, he made his way out into the sidewalk and began his search, of course he couldn't just use his X-ray vision to search the city. Yang could literally be anywhere in the city, it'd be better if he had a starting point.

"Well I don't know we're ang of her friends are….so I guess I should start at where she keeps Bumblebee." he said, thinking of the parking lockup that she keeps the motorcycle in when she's at Patch. It was near the dock that the ferry to patch was and it was a good a place as any.

Sprinting through the city, he curved to a left at a intersection before running onto a main road and heading down it. All the while that strange pitch in his ear continued to ring, it sounded like white noise but as he kept getting further and further into the city it started to get louder.

Clark started to grind his teeth as the sound started to get to the point of irritation. Thankfully after taking a shortcut through a few alleyways he arrived at the parking complex. Many residents of Patch have their vehicles here for when they come to the mainland, it's basically a mix of a parking garage and a storage unit, Yang keeps her motorcycle here and they keep it under lock and key for her.

So if she was going anywhere, she would have to come here first. Walking up to the front window, he saw that the metal sheet was down on the other side of the glass, showing that the establishment was closed. "Great." he muttered. Walking around the side of the building, he found the employee entrance, "Well…...its for the right thing." he muttered.

Walking over to the door, he gripped the handle and held it steady before jabbing his other finger through the lock, popping out on the other side. Opening the door and shutting it behind him, he walked over to the counter were a ledger was sitting in front of the window.

Speed reading through the book, he stopped when he found Yang's name, "Yang Xiao Long, checked out one motorcycle at seven a.m. with a full tank of gas." he read out loud. Unfortunately that was all there was, no estimated time of return or location of where he was going.

Just say that moment, his scroll chimed in his pocket, the sound actually sounding like it went off right in Clark's ear, making him jump in surprise as he quickly took it out, "Yeah hello?" he asked.

'Clark hey it's Ruby.' she started, making Clark hold the phone away at arm's length from his ear when he first heard how loud she was. 'Look I just finished talking to all of Yang's friends and I found out that they went to a few clubs.' she explained. Clark smiled at that, that was good, how many clubs could Vale have? 'About all of them, eight I think.' Ruby added, making the smile drop from Clark's face.

So almost sixteen clubs!? Dear God how long can Yang go without sleep? "Anything else Rubs?" he asked, bringing the scroll on to talk but pushed it away once he heard the static.

'Oh yeah, they said she was acting kinda weird. She didn't have anything to drink or dance or anything.' she said, making Clark raise an eye at that. Yang could be the definition of a fun time, she once made a blanket fort in their living room just because. And that was last year.

"Thanks Ruby. I'll go search all the ones I can. Any chance you can get a lift to the mainland?" he asked as he exited the room, only to stumble when the ringing in his ear returned even worse than before. His back rested against the wall, covering one of his ears as Runy spoke.

'Yeah I think I'll be there in a hour or two, I had to wake up the dock guy and explain everything to him but I really hope he isn't mad at me.' She explained before Clark hung up, not being able to take it anymore.

His scroll hit the ground as he slid down the wall, his hands over his ears. The pitch was just getting louder and louder! He couldn't take it anymore, why couldn't it just stop!? And then, like his ears were popping, the sound just exploded in his ears!

'You think he's ok? It's my dad and-'

'What the hell I totally-'

'Stop! Please dad stop!'

Clark managed to pick up his scroll and begin to walk but it just got worse as sirens wailed in his head. He could hear everything! The Electricity in the power lines, the sound of blunders tumbling over one another as someone kicked a rock. A bark sounded like a roar from a beast, "Stop it…." Clark whispered.

'I swear you have no class.'

'You little freak. I should have thrown you in the dumpster when-'

'AAAAHHHHHHH!'

"Stop it." Clark repeated as he grabbed the building corner for support and began to crush the bricks under his grasp, only to hear the screeching of rocks sliding against each other. As soon as he released he heard the Avalanche as the remains of the brick fell to the ground and tumbled.

"I SAID STOP IT!" Clark shouted at the top of his lungs before a inching into the air with a his leg strength, as he shot upwards into the air, he could hear the sounds were getting farther and farther away. But as he stopped to dog and began to fall he covered his ears again as he began to gal down, this time down towards the ocean.

Taking a deep breath, he hit the water and began to sink to the bottom like a rock, the muffled noises providing only a little relief.

He could hold his breath for hours and right now he probably needed a few.

(000)

"Thank you! Seriously thank you!" Ruby called out to the ferryman as his boat started to sail back to Patch. The man have her a wave before she turned back to Vale, as much as she appreciates Clark's help she wasn't going to just stand by while he did all the work.

Yang wasn't a bad sister by any means, she was the best sister she could ever have. But she just had a tendency to get herself into trouble. Heck her and her dad have a jar a moment for when she goes to jail.

Not that she's ever gone. But still, with Yang it's more of a matter of time before it happens. And it wasn't like Yang couldn't take care of herself, she could literally get hit up into the sky and come crashing down and stand right back up….it was a long story involving her Uncle, a slingshot, and a jar of pickles.

It's better not to ask.

But still, Yang could very well take care of herself but it didn't stop her from worrying. Just like Yang worried about her even though her Crescent Rose could help her against anything. Vale may be free of grim but it didn't make it danger free.

"Ok. Detective Ruby is on the case!" she said, pointing a finger up in the air triumphantly. "So….where do I start?" she asked, lowering her hand and resting it against her chin in a thoughtful pose.

Well if she knew Yang as well as she did, then she would probably be somewhere that's loud, serves drinks, and she can turn a lot of heads….that didn't exactly help her out.

"Ok detective Ruby, to the closest club…...which isssssssssssss-" she says as she pulled out her scroll and pulled up the map app. "-ssssssssssssssssssss-" she took a deep breath. "-ssssssss this way!" she said, pointing to the general direction that the club was at.

Yeah she got this. Who knows maybe she didn't even need Clark….but wait how was she going to get in? "Oh…...that's why I need Clark." she said in realization. "Ah well I'll just look for her bike." Zoe said with a shrug before making her way towards the club.

(000)

The water helped with the sound.

Even though it didn't block out the noises completely it was better that being up there were he could basically hear everyone. Clark was sitting on the seabed, his knees huddled against his chest. He knew that some messed up things happened, but some of the things he had heard people say…..he just couldn't take it, he couldn't take all the vile, hateful, disgusting words people were saying.

All Clark could do was run away from all that…..noise.

Seriously, what the hell was that? I-I-I never experienced anything like that before in my life! he thought as he ran a hand through his waving hair. A realization finally hit him, the only real explanation, it was another new power. But why?! I just got super breath yesterday! he thought as he stood up, the pressure not really having an effect on him.

He shook his head, it wasn't important as to why he has it now, but that he had to find Yang, despite having to deal with this roadblock. Ok, I can't just block it all out, but maybe…...maybe I can focus it or something. he thought, trying to be positive.

But unfortunately, the only way to practice this was to go up to land and take everything at full force and try and sort through it. Which wouldn't be fun in any sense of the word.

Clark crouched before shooting back up through the after and blasting out of the surface and landing on one the wooden docks. The sounds came at him as soon as he broke through the water, taking a breath to compose himself he let them in.

'Bill, bill, bill, bill-'

'You think I give a crap? Look I don't care if-'

Not only voices, but sounds. The squeaks of a bed and footsteps, tapping on scroll screens, people's breathing. But one voice, one really got his attention.

'Miiiiiirrrror….tell me somthinnnnng. Tell me who's the loneliest….of allllllllll.'

Clark's eyes opened at the voice, it wasn't bad, the pitch wasn't upsetting his ears, and it…...it was just beautiful singing. "So…..what if I focus on all the good things?" he asked. He wasn't exactly sure how to block out noises, but he knows that if you focus on something the world can just fade away sometimes.

So taking a deep breath, he focused, he tried to focus on that voice as he started to walk towards Vale. Focusing on the song he nearly stopped when he heard what sounded like static. "Wait am I listening to someone's radio?" he asked himself. Unfortunately his distraction caused him to lose the voice and find instead someone snoring.

"...not the worst thing I've heard." he said with a shrug and he hopped up into the walkway above the docks, avoiding the stairs entirely. Walking down the empty street, he tried to fade out the noise but only managing to listen to what sounds a lot like a waterfall, or in this case someone running a sink.

He covered his ears again but it didn't help at all, pulling his hood up to cover his head, he realized that his clothes were completely and utterly soaked. Looking down at the ground, he blew a gust at the ground that flew back at him, blow drying his clothes essentially.

Clark's hearing then picked up something else, 'Yang, I'm gonna bop you good when I find you.' a higher voice said. It was Ruby without a doubt. Taking off down the street, he used his X-ray vision to find her, coming up behind her, he slowed himself to a normal walk, a small gust of wind washing over the caped girl.

"Ruby!" he called, making her turn around and smile widely before zooming over to him in a flurry of rose petals. Clark may be fast but Ruby is a probably the only person who had the potential to go as fast as him in his eyes. But as of now she was slow.

"Clark ok thank goodness! Oh it's so goo to see you, have your found yang? Do you have a lead? Anything?" she asked before Clark grasped her by her shoulders, making her stop talking.

Clark's ears were still picking up stray sounds but as long as he focused on Ruby, he figured he'd be good. "No, Ruby, not yet. But now that you're here we can split up and start searching. You have your scroll on you?" he asked. Ruby nodded and opened it up, taking it from her he highlighted a few of the clubs, "Ok you search these ones and I'll search the other half. If you see her, call me ok?" he asked.

She nodded, "Right! Now come in Watson! We have a case to solve!" she said.

"I think you mean Sherlock." Clark loomed out with a small smile.

"I called dibs on Sherlock no take backs." she responded before noticing something. "Clark are you ok? Because…...you kinda look...not ok. At all." she said, noticing the somewhat pained look on Clark's face as well as his disheveled hair.

He managed to give her a smile, "Don't worry about me Ruby. Just focus on finding Yang. Ok?" he asked. The young girl wasn't convinced but knowing Clark, he'd keep telling her he was fine until she left him alone.

"Ok. But be careful ok!" she called before running off towards the next location. Clark gave her a confident wave until she turned the corner, whereby then he had all but collapsed beside the building beside him. He was now running into what sounded like pure static on max volume.

"I'm about five seconds away from hitting myself with the hardest thing I can find to knock me out." he growled out as he struggled to get back up onto his own two feet.

Taking a few calming breaths, Clark decided to take a few minutes to try and calm himself down. This was the first time his powers was taking a toll on him, he HAS to get this under control. And the sooner the better. So he focused, he focused on the most peaceful sound he could find.

Thump thump, thump thump.

A heartbeat…...it was slow...rhythmic almost. And honestly it was the most relaxing sound he heard all day. He steadied his breathing, he had to find Yang, but he also had to deal with crazy super hearing powers.

Clark looked up, jumping up onto the five story building, he looked around. "Ok. If I want to find her, i gotta get somewhere where I could at least see her from…...and maybe hear her too." he said in realization.

If he could hear a heartbeat he could find Yang in an entire city district right?

Searching the low skyline, he saw a building with a great overlook of the city. Leaping into the air, he closed in on the building, landing on the ledge, he grabbed the column beside him to steady himself. The brick column curved over and upwards towards a point above Clark, he was high enough as it was though, and with how he's been going the past hour he'd probably fall off.

"Ok…...this is gonna suck." he said before letting his guard down.

You know how it sounds when you're in a stadium and for some reason every single person cheers all at once? Well think of that, then put in a train speeding right by with jets zooming overhead while a building, a mountain, and water all comes crashing down around you and that's about half of what Clark could hear right now.

Clark fell to his knees as thousands of voices rang through his head, fighting the urge to cover his ears and curl up into a ball and simply wish it all away.

But he couldn't. He can't. Yang us out there somewhere and who knows what condition she's in, and right now all Clark could do was sort through a ocean of noise to try and find something that could be related to her. Like finding a needle in a haystack blindfolded.

Ok think! Think! Bumblebee! She took her bike, maybe she's on it right now. Clark thought as he tried to narrow his search to motorcycle engines but ending up with a semi truck horn, "Focus damnit!" he growled out.

His hearing now picked up engines, rotors spinning inside metal boxes….but that's not it, he had to search for something smaller than a box.

He heard someone shoot off a gun somewhere but he can't tell if it hurt someone or if it was just practice.

Clark shook his head and went back to the engines, small motors that went fast. What else?

Her hair! No helmet could contain hair like that, so hair flapping in the wind then? He tuned into a flagpole, the rope hitting the side of the pole making a ringing sound that sounded like a bell tower to the young man.

He managed to narrow it down, but all he could hear was something…..man made. Clothing, he could hear clothing king against wind, it wasn't Yang though, she loved the feeling of it on her bare skin, she kept herself warm.

So what else! Where could she be?!

That's when it hit him, Clubs. Yang went to eight of them with her friends and most likely she's hot almost all of them by now. So that's what he needed to look for. Readjusting his frequency, he actually heard what sounded like tubing a radio, but instead of static between stations he heard more.

Broadcasts, songs, voices, telephones? He shook his head, trying to focus more.

The sound of stereos thumped in his eardrums, looking around he made a rough estimate of where each one was before trying to focus again. He just needed Yang to say something, anything…...well not ANYthing, just something he can hear that won't make things awkward when he finds her and bops her for making him go through this.

'I'll have strawberry sunrise, no ice. Oh! And one of those little umbrellas.' a voice quickly added.

Clark grinned as he honed in on what was without a doubt Yang's voice. Taking a few steps back from the ledge, he rocketed off the rooftop of where he heard Yang's voice come from. As soon as he landed, he listened in.

'Yes Junior, I have several. But instead of sweetheart, you can call me SIR.' Yang explained, her voice going serious on the last word accompanied by what sounded like loud whine and…...rocks being crushed?

It only took a second to find out what Yang was doing and immediately winces out of sympathy for whatever poor soul Yang Haden her clutches.

Hey he may be an alien but he's still a GUY.

'People say you know everything. Tell me where she is and I'll let you go.' she said. Clark eyes widened when he realized who she must be talking about. 'I've never seen her before, I swear!' the man who she had in her grip said.

Clark could actually hear the air halt in Yang's throat for a second, it came out as a low growl. 'Excuse me?!' she asked, taking her newfound frustration out on the grown man calling himself Junior.

Running through the city, Clark stopped in front of a small building with blacked out windows. He could hear the music inside which thankfully was all he could hear beside Yang and this guy she was speaking too, activating his X-ray vision he looked at what he was about to walk into.

The first thing he saw was Yang grabbing a guy by his walnuts while men dressed exactly like the driver from a few weeks back drawn their swords and axes as they closed in around Yang.

….on one hand, she gets what she somewhat deserves. On the other…..yeah I'm not sure what the downside is beside that guy's poor cherries popping. Clark thought. He didn't know who the guy Yang was handling, but no one deserves to have their goods crushed like that.

Suddenly, Yang let go of him, making the keel over to catch his breath, and whatever dignity he had, before walking through the crowd of guards that Yang followed him through. Yang don't. Clark thought.

'Oh Junior I was just playing with you, don't be so sensitive.' Yang played of as she went in front of him and began to walk backwards in front of him. As he passed her she grinned, Come on, let's kiss and make-up, ok?' she suggested, making Junior stop and turn around to look at her with surprise.

Clark had hopped he would be smart and keep walking…..he wasn't smart. And as soon as his lips were a inch away from the blonde bombshell, she threw her fist out and hit him so hard he went flying clear across the room through a glass pillar before hitting a small half wall before a glass bottle fell and hit him on the head.

"Oh no." Clark groaned as Yang took a boxer's stance, her bracelets extending over her forearms to make a pair of golden gauntlets. Pumping her arm out she ejected a empty shell from one of her gauntlets as the men from before charged in around her.

She leapt upwards into the air, dogging a hit. Swinging her body so that her back was facing the ceiling, she reeled a arm back, fire outing from her fist as she grinned happily.

Crashing down to the dance floor, the fire and shockwave sent everyone off their feet except for her. As she slowly stood from the fire, Clark couldn't help but gulp down some air. These guys were so screwed.

He couldn't help but just sit back and watch as Yang kept forward, bringing her heel down into one of the men so hard they slid across the ground, breaking the glass as he did. She turned in a heel and dashed towards another rage they, upper urging him into the air as she swung her leg out and hit two closer guards.

A pair of men rushed forward, Yang three's her arm out, causing her gauntlets fire a explosive shotgun blast at them as she threw her leg back into another man's sternum before going back to the blast target. Swiping his legs out with her own, Yang uppercutted him up into the air before punching him back down to the ground.

Keeping up her momentum, he ran forward towards another dressed man and actually running onto him before kicking off and slamming her knee into another target, sending him flying into his friend behind him, making him stumble before Yang unisex him off.

Looking behind her, she saw two men charging from behind, firing her gauntlet forward she ticket back towards her attackers, elbowing him in the gut before taking care of his friend in a flashy manner.

One if them men actually got close enough to swung his sword, Yang easily blocked it with her gauntlet and unleashed a flurry of quick jabs in response before shooting him into another pillar of glass.

Clark's eyes widened when he heard a click, like a clip being loaded into a gun. Zooming insider, time slowed down around them as Clark ran behind Yang. The DJ was armed with a submachine gun…...and was wearing a teddy bear head. Sucking in a quick breath, he shot it out towards the DJ, boucing him back into the wall behind him and hitting his head against the station before passing out.

As Clark ran behind the bar and ducked behind it to hide, he peeked out when he heard two pairs of heels walk over the glass dance floor. Yang heard too and turned to face them.

They both looked almost Lyle the other, both having black hair, Aqua green eyes, and dresses that covered their body but left their arms free. Their hands were covered by gloves and cloth while their legs were covered by thigh high boots with laces going all the way down. One of them had a white dress with a pair of bladder heels, her sister had a red dress with what looked almost like claws.

"Melanie who is this girl?" the one in red asked, walking up beside her sister.

The one in right looked back to address her, "I dunno, Militia, but we should teach her a lesson." the white one replied.

Yang responded with a "Hmph." before ejecting all her rounds and reloading her gauntlets.

Looking around, Clark saw all the men that Yang took care of earlier, they may have attacked her but they didn't deserve to be caught up in the crossfire. Running out at super sprees he picked up two of the men as Yang leapt into the fight.

Dropping the men off in the alley across the street, Clark ran back inside just as Yang started firing her firery concussive blasts at the twins. He grabbed two under one arm and another by his coat before running out with them.

As the three began more close quarters combat, Clark began taking more and more men out. As he did, he couldn't help but take a few glances at Yang, she seemed to be doing well, she didn't even look like she was breaking a sweat.

As she fired one of the girl's through get another glass column, Clark sponged around the glass and caught her on his arms. Running out of the building he took her father away before gently setting her down on a bench a block away. "Sorry about her. She's…..yeah." he apologized before zooming off back towards the club where Yang was spinning the girl around into a jumping kick.

As the girl started to walk away, Clarl saw the owner was back up on his feet with a bazooka."Are you goddamn kidding me?" he whispered before running and grabbing the other sister, leaving her with her unconscious sister. She looked around bewildered for a moment before noticing her twin and tending to her.

When Clark came back, he was…...left somewhat in awe as Yang basically punched the missiles out of the air. When the smoke from the explosives settled, Junior charged forwards, the launcher transforming into s bat before he started to swing at Yang who blocked the blows with her arms.

Junior managed to make her stagger back, taking the chance to knock her back into the air and come crashing down onto a glass table and chair set. Clark was about to take care of junior when he saw Yang get back up.

With a big ol' grin on her face.

Hitting her fists together, heat exploded offer, flames dancing off her golden hair as she closed in on Junior and began the sit tack, swinging her arms out , each hit Makkah the gauntlets fire a round into the man and making him stagger. Yang slammed her foot down and and reeled her arm back, she threw it forward, Clark could see her eyes change from violet to red before the haymaker hit.

The blow was so strong that Junior was sent good few feet back with his now broken weapon in one hand and a few…..golden locks in the other.

"Bail. Bail! BAIL!" Clark said to himself before running as fast as he could out of the club.

Yang saw the locks, and all she saw was red.

Clark lowered his good as he watched what looked like a explosion of light break all the tinted windows, Junior flying out one of them and landing at Clark's feet. "Hey…..you ok?" Clark asked the club owner.

He let out a groan, showing that he was at least alive. Worst case every bone in his body was broken.

Yang jumped out the window and landed a few feet away. Clark wasn't sure if he should be mad, scared, in awe, or some combination of the three. "I….you….what!?" he started.

"Oh, heyyyyy Clark." she greeted somewhat embarrassed. Oh right. Anger. Be angry. Clark thought before his face changed to the proper emotion. Yang saw this and the smile slowly vanished from her face, "What ahh…...whatcha doing here?"

"I've spent the better part of my evening, getting all the way to Vale after your little sister calls me and tells me she hasn't heard from you since yesterday." he started, making Yang's eyes widen at the realization before turning to guilt. "And after spending a hour walking around town looking, I find this club, and just as I'm about to go in, I see people run out screaming, hear gunfire, explosions, and a entire spectrum of other things you wouldn't believe, and then see a fiery Supernova or something blow this poor man out a building!" he finished, pointing to Junior.

He let out a groan as a response.

Clark couldn't see that Yang felt guilty, and after hearing why she was out here looking for her mother. He couldn't exactly blame her, taking a breath to calm himself, he dropped the anger, "Look, I'm just gonna ask why." he said as he walked over Junior and to Yang's side.

She sighed and pulled out her scroll, pulling up s picture, Clark could make out a blurry human image of red and black. "I found this picture today at one of the clubs and I saw someone with this picture and…...it looks like her Clark." she says defectively.

Clark out a hand on her shoulder, "Yang-" he started.

"And I just dove into it, I mean I thought if someone in Vale somehow got a picture of her then I can at least find her. Right?" she asked. Yang almost looked like she was pleading Clark to agree with her. And as much as he wanted Yang to be right about this there wasn't any guarantee that…..

"Yeah that makes sense." he answered, he could hear her heartbeat quicken at that. "But Yang your mother isn't your only family. Runy was worried sick, you need to stop and at least talk to her." he added, making Yang press her lips together, fighting back a remark.

"Look Yang, I can't imagine what that's like. But you need to think of your family, of Ruby. Your dad and your uncle, me for crying out loud! I thought the worst when I heard you were missing and….I don't want to lose you Yang." he said honestly.

Yang felt guilty enough as it is, and as much as she hated to admit it she hadn't even thought of Ruby or her father since she saw that photo. After debating it over in her head she let out a sigh, "I hate it when your right. I hate you and stupid farm boy charm." she said, making Clark smirk a little.

"I have charm?"

"Well it's more like pitty really." Yang said with a smirk. Clark wrapped his arms around her, taking the blonde by surprise before hugging him back. She couldn't help but smile, "Huh…..didn't realize I needed that."

"Trust me you did." Clark reptiled as he pulled away. Now that she was getting a close look at him, she noticed that Clark for the first time ever looked tired. He had bags under his eyes and his hair was messy, he also smelled like fish for some strange reason but she didn't dare ask.

"So your not mad?" she asked. "Because I totally get if you are." she added. Now that she thought about it she would be pretty mad too given the circumstances.

Clark slyly grinned, "Oh no I'm not mad. But I can't speak for Rubes or your dad when they see you." he said, making Yang realize just how much trouble she was in at the moment. Her father was a kind, loving man, but he could make her scared when he wanted to.

"Can I move to the farm? I swear I'll do all your chores and I'll never try something like this again." she asked in a pleading voice.

"That depends. Can you never make another pun again?" Clark asked with a knowing smirk as Yang pouted. Yang would test her die than do that and he knew it. "Just face the music ok? I need to get back home, call Ruby and meet her at the docks back to Patch. Ok?" he advised.

Yang still pouted. "ok."

"And for the love of god call that guy a ambulance." he said, pointing to junior behind them. Yang grinned sheepishly, yeah he may need to ice that wound of his for a few weeks at least.

(000)

By the time Clark hit the city limits, he could hear Ruby yelling at Yang. And that may not be his super hearing. And he was also surprised to find out that Ruby actually knew a swear word, but wasn't surprised that she covered her mouth right after saying it.

Eventually Clark made it back to the farm around two A.M. And that was pretty late by his standards. His hearing still wasn't back to normal, he could hear a cat popping it's back as it stretched out on a couch in Smallville, but it was much more peaceful here than in the city.

Entering the house, he kicked off his shoes as he put his coat up on the rack and heading upstairs to his bedroom. Changing into his pj's, he got in bed and shut his eyes. Instead of the racket of the city, he focused on the crickets outside a few acres away, the hum of a airship flying overhead, and the windmill just outside his house.

Clark was asleep in minutes, listening to the peaceful sounds that he could pick up.

AN: I've always had somewhat good hearing, so much so that I can tell when someone is walking in the basement level of my house from my room on the second floor. And I also pick up some conversations that my family doesn't mean to hear.

Trust me good hearing isn't always good to have, I used to stay up at night when I heard cars driving. And I don't mean down our street I mean at the end of our street which his about thirty or forty yards away.

But yeah, super hearing? Forget it, if I had that I'd remove my ears.

So you guys are probably asking why is Clark getting all his powers one after another like this? Well actually next chapter there'll be a explanation for that so your gonna need to stay tuned until then.

Speaking of chapters o can't believe I got this one up so fast! I hope you guys liked it and if you did, don't be afraid to leave a review of what you thought. See you guys next chapter :)
