Title – A visit from a fellow Kryptonian

Chapter 9

XXX

I took a walk around the grounds one night to look at the stars. They were really beautiful but it made me kinda sad to look at them beacuse I remembered that Krypton used to be one of them and now it's gone. I missed my home but I have gotten used to it over the years. As I thought about my home I walked right into someone (I really need to pay more attention when I'm walking).

"Oh sorry," The girl said.

"Amy I didn't know you lived on the Luthor estate," I said when her brother walked up. "Oh hey Jeff," I said and he smiled.

"Hi Demi. What are you doing here?" He asked and I smiled.

"Lex offered me a place to live," I said with a soft smile.

"Where are your parents?" Jeff asked and I shrugged.

"A million years away probably," I said.

"What happened?"

"My mom and brother went missing when I was three, me and my dad never really got along once I got older. I haven't seen him since last year," I said.

"What are you ding in Smallville then, don't you have any other family?" Jeff asked. I think this is the longest conversation he has had with someone that was not him his family.

"My cousin Kara is the extent of the family I know and care about. There's my brother but I don't know where he is," I said and he nodded.

"Why did Lex take you in then?" Amy finally asked.

"I saved his life and he saved me from living in an old abandoned warehouse," I said with a smile. "Let's just say we're even," I said.

"I heard about what happened at LuthorCorp," Jeff said. "That must have been horrible," He said and I shook my head.

"Not really, I liked the danger, It helps me remember that I'm still alive,"

"Still?" Amy asked.

"Yeah, when my mom and brother went missing it wasn't just that they went missing but my father sent them away because out home was being distroyed and he wanted to protect them. The only problem was that he cared more about his only son, his heir more then his daughter, that's why I got stuck with him," I said. "I survived that day when most of my family and friends didn't," I said with a deep breath.

"I'm sorry to hear that," Jeff said.

"I got used to it after a while, I learned to deal with loss. Nothing hurts much anymore," I said almost nonchalantly. "But on a lighter note," I said with a smile. "Why do you guys live here?" I asked. "I gave you my boring sucky life story now I'm curious about you guys,"

"Our parents work for Lex," Amy said. "Speaking of Lex where is he?"

"He's in Metropolis, at the opening of the new Luthor hall at the Metropolis musean," I said with a smile. "He should be back soon," I said with a smile. "Goodnight," I said and then I turned to walk away.

"Wait," Amy said and I turned to her smiling. "Where are you staying?"

"In the room right across from Lex's bedroom," I said with a smile and I could see the pain and anger flash in her eyes but I ignored it. "Goodnight," I said as I turned and walked back to the house and went straight to sleep.
