The Sun - Sunday April 14th 2012 (00:00)

Up in space, the sun's surface now and again erupted with mini-solar flares, a sure sign that a bigger one would hit quite soon enough, a solar flare that could cause some problems for a certain alien below on Earth.

Li Residence - (07:50)

Daniel sat there on the couch inside the loft, lightly skimming through the thick blue journal that Professor Roberts had recently gave him a mere week ago in his lavatory. Today, Daniel was wearing his signature bright red t-shirt, a pair of simple jeans, red all-star converse sneakers and his signature navy blue plaid jacket that bore the 'House of El' crest on the back of it. Daniel sighed. Lately, a LOT of things were happening in his life. Smallville High was busily preparing for the upcoming annual 'Spring Formal' dance and his biological AI uncle, Jor-El, kept persistently asking him to keep searching for the third and very last crystal of power: water.

To top it all off, recent news updates have recently spotted mini-solar flare eruptions apparently getting more frequent on the sun's surface, although Daniel wasn't too surprised as a solar flare didn't happen last year as planned it would. This got him worried as the solar flare could greatly effect his powers, since he wasn't an average kryptonian, so he didn't know the exact effects it would do to him and if it would be the same, or similar to an average one, so he immediately decided to call Professor Roberts about it, but apparently he was quite busy at the moment, so he did the next best thing: check the Kryptonian journal for some information on the topic.

Unfortunately, Daniel found nothing on the subject of solar flares on a genetically advanced kryptonian, but since he is the first and most likely ONLY one, there would most possibly not be any information inside on what it could do to him and his abilities. Frustrated with his results, Daniel stood up from the couch and super sped back towards the house. Daniel was only just outside the loft, when all of a sudden he felt a huge tug on his body and tripped forwards onto his face into the gravel floor below.

"Ow?" Daniel said in shock as one: it wouldn't have hurt him in the first place and two: he wouldn't have even tripped like that either, not since he got his powers back.

Daniel lazily stood back up and dusted some dirt of his clothes, while trying to figure out what was up with him. It took him almost instantely to figure it out and muttered to himself silently: "The solar flare."

Unbeknownst to him, a police car was parked just a mile or so away from the Li Residence and inside was none other than Deputy Banks, who was spying on Daniel with his long binoculars.

"So that's your little secret, huh? I'll catch you in the act one day. Rest assured you WILL be in jail for what you've done to this town and its people. Mark my words, Li, mark my words," he murmured to himself and saw him disappear in a blue and red blur back towards his house.

Li Residence, kitchen- (08:05)

"Now, how did you do this again?" Warren asked Daniel, while wrapping the upper part of Daniel's right arm with some fresh bandages.

"I told you," Daniel sighed, sitting on the table as he began to carefully explain: "I was looking at the new journal that Professor Roberts had given me a week ago and then super sped out of the loft, but once I was only just outside, I suddenly, for some weird reason, stopped and fell over onto the ground."

"Do you have any idea what could have made you trip like that?" Janine asked, entering the room with a lilac-coloured mug of warm water.

"Yeah, I do. It seems like the recent solar flare is messing with my powers like it did with Clark's in the episode: 'Perry', but the thing that I'm worrying about the most is if solar flares affect me more, or less than the average kryptonian," Daniel admitted.

"There it's done," Warren stated as he finished applying the bandages onto his son's wound.

"Thanks," Daniel said and he got off the table, only for the wound to then almost instantely glow brightly through the bandages a moment later.

Once this happened, he hastily tore off the bandages to reveal that his wound had now completely disappeared and there wasn't a trace of injury on his arm.

"Oh my," Janine gasped silently.

"Well, I guess that answers my first worry about the solar flares," Daniel remarked. "My powers are going to constantly switch off, on and maybe even to overload mode."

Warren sighed as he thought of what to about the current situation.

What are we going to do? With Daniel's powers out of his control at the moment, he could risk being exposed and that will attract a LOT of unwanted attention for us, but most importantly him.

"Hello, dad?"

"Son, what did Clark Kent do in the episode: 'Perry' about the solar flares?" Warren questioned.

"He waited it out until his powers stabilized AFTER the solar flare," Daniel answered with a shrug.

His father nodded and then grabbed his shoulder, while giving his some useful advice:

"Try and stay near the farm today until the solar flare passes. Don't visit your friends and don't get caught by any of the officers, especially the Deputy Banks. I don't get a good vibe off that guy."

"Okay, dad," Daniel said and walked out of the kitchen. "I'm going to push the tractor out of the barn, so we can get to work with it."

Once he was far away from them, Warren and Janine glanced at each other and she whispered:

"I can't believe any of this is real, Warren."

"Neither can I, sweetheart, but from the day we picked Daniel up from that spaceship was the day I realized that things like this would be the norm," her husband whispered back.

They hugged each other, desperately worried for the future of their son.

Back outside the farm, Daniel was walking towards the barn to get out the tractor, when suddenly Deputy Banks appeared next to him with a slightly menacing grin on his face.

"It's a B-E-A-U-tiful day today isn't it?" he pointed out randomly, inhaling deeply.

"Yeah, I guess it is," Daniel hesitantly admitted to the shady deputy officer.

"I mean, people have been saying that solar flares only cause problems, but I beg to differ about that," Deputy Banks contradicted.

"What do you want, sir?" Daniel asked suspiciously, knowing that he was up to something.

"Want something? Why would you think I would want anything from you?" Deputy Banks asked as innocently as possible and then added seriously: "Unless, that is, you have something to hide from little old me."

"No, I'm just an ordinary teenager at Smallville High," Daniel lied smoothly, keeping a strict poker face at him.

"Oh, but that's the thing, kid. You don't seem that ordinary to me," he remarked, narrowing his eyes.

"I appreciate the compliment, sir, but I have a tractor move out of the barn and fix with my dad now," Daniel glared and began to dash forward at an average human speed, when all of a sudden, much to his displeasure, he felt himself go into 'super speed mode' towards and into the barn, much to the bewilderment and sick glee of Deputy Banks.

"This is going to be easier than I thought meteor-freak" he muttered to himself and then looked at the clear blue skies above: "It truly is quite a beautiful day today."

He then strolled back to his police car again, while whistling a little tune on the way there.

Li Residence- (08:15)

It took a full TEN minutes to push the tractor a couple of feet away from the barn, when usually it would take about less than a minute for Daniel, who had small beads of sweat fall down from his forehead.

Damn, solar flare! You choose NOW to go off, when you could have done it last year ON time.

Daniel wiped the sweat off of his forehead and continued to push the tractor away from the barn for a few more minutes to where his father now stood, waiting impatiently for him to get there. Once he did, Daniel rubbed some of the dirt off of his hand and they both got to work on the tractor.

"What took you so long?" Warren chuckled at the glare he received from his son. "C'mon let's get to work on the tractor, I think the brakes are broken."

Daniel nodded and crawled below the tractor, surveying the damage and began checking what was needed to fix it.

"Dad, I can see what's wrong with it, but I'll have to lift it up a bit from you to see it properly."

"Are you sure you can lift this, son? You were kind of struggling earlier to push it over here," Warren asked him as he crawled back up onto his feet again.

"Yeah, I'm sure. Just trust me on this one," Daniel reassured his reluctant father, grabbing onto the bottom of the tractor tightly, making sure he wouldn't hurl it high into the sky. "Okay, I'm ready now."

His father crawled below the tractor and yelled: "Now!"

With that, Daniel managed to carefully lift it about a meter of the ground, just enough for his father to properly see the bottom of the tractor and fix the brakes.

"See, that wasn't so bad, dad?" Daniel smirked as he slowly set it back down on the ground again.

"Yeah, I guess not, son. Oh! I forgot to do one thing down there. Can you lift the tractor up a bit again?" Warren asked and crawled underneath it again.

"Sure thing, dad," Daniel answered and tightly held the bottom of the tractor again and heaved upwards.

Unfortunately, when he did do that the tractor was hurled high into the clear blue sky above and also to the far edge of the town. Warren, who was still on the floor, hastily stood back onto his feet again and stared in shock and awe at the direction that the tractor had now dropped with the sound of trees crunching, making them both assume it landed somewhere in the woods.

"I think we're going to need to fix a lot more than the brakes on the tractor," Warren commented, while still staring in both shock and awe at the place that it landed in.

O'Conner Mansion- (08:20)

Ben O' Conner strolled into his office to sort some files, only to be greeted by none other than his father, who was sitting in his chair, while skimming lightly through a small yellow book with a forced expression of calmness on his face.

"Son," he began, struggling to control his temper. "Do you still remember that time when you thought it was okay to 'have a look' at my personal files when you were ten years old?"

"Of course I do, dad. I can vividly remember the belt whipping my back," Ben glared at his father. "Why do you ask?"

"Because, you apparently promised me to NEVER ever go through my personal things and lately you clearly haven't," Joseph leered and suddenly stood back up on his feet again. "I'm only going to ask you nicely, son. Where is it?"

"Where is what?" Ben asked smirked innocently.

"You know EXACTLY what I'm talking about, Ben!" Joseph spat furiously, but then regained his composure.

"I'm really sorry, but I clearly have no idea what you're talking about," Ben lied casually.

"TELL me now," Joseph demanded in a low and dangerous voice. "Or else…"

"Or else what, dad! You're going to give a time out or a beating with the cane or belt," Ben yelled back at his father and then stated: "I'm not ten years old anymore, dad. You can't taunt me anymore."

At this, Joseph huffed angrily and stormed out of the office to the amusement of his son, who immediately started to get to work on finding the location of both the Crystal of Water and hopefully, the Crystal of Air as well.

Li Residence

Daniel carefully rested the broken tractor back down inside the barn, only to have it fall to pieces. He then went back outside to see his father looking half-frustrated and half-amused.

"Sorry about that," Daniel apologised with a sheepish smile.

His father sighed.

"It's okay, son, but I don't think you should try and do anymore, ah, chores for a bit, until the solar flare has passed."

Daniel nodded in agreement and they both headed back towards the house, where his mother said that she was baking a batch of chocolate chip cookies, but once they did reach the house, his mother came outside with her hands placed behind her head and Deputy Banks holding a shotgun in one hand and one of her chocolate chip cookies in the other.

"Kid, I'm gonna ask you nicely. Come with me to the police station and we can have a nice talk about you, your meteor-freak friends and what you've all been doing around town lately."

"Don't do it!" Janine shouted, only to be silenced by him.

"Come with me NOW, or your mother will get a one-way ticket to the gates of heaven!" Deputy Banks ordered, gritting his teeth and tightening the grip on his shotgun.

Daniel exchanged a glance with his father, who nodded at him as a sign of complete trust that his son's choice as a good one. He then backed off slightly and Daniel cautiously to Deputy Banks with his hands mid-air in a defensive position.

"You really don't know anything do you?" Daniel taunted.

"I will when you tell me about the shenanigans that you've been involved in, meteor-freak!" the Deputy said, pushing Janine towards his dad, who pulled her into a warm embrace.

"Meteor-freak? You think that I'm meteor-infected!" Daniel began to laugh loudly, which only made the Deputy point the shotgun at him. "No, I'm NOT a meteor-infected. I'm SO much more than that."

He then smirked at the Deputy's face expression, which was now showing absolute fear and worry for him, so to top it all off, Daniel said one thing that he was sure was going to rattle him forever.

"I'm an alien."

"NOOO!" Deputy Banks yelled, aiming the shotgun to Daniel's head and fired it four times in a row.

(Daniel): C'mon powers, don't fail me now.

*Suddenly, the four bullets seemed to slow down, making it drift slowly towards him. Daniel used this opportunity to grab all of them, two in the left and two in the right.*

"Looking for these," Daniel said, showing the bullets in his hand and then dropping them to the ground, much to the horror of the Deputy.

"What are you?" Deputy Banks asked with a completely terrified tone in his voice.

"Didn't you hear the first time?" Daniel sneered.

"I-I'll kill you. I'LL KILL YOU!" Deputy Banks screamed and aimed the shotgun at his head once again, only this time to be interrupted by the sound of police sirens from the police cars that were now parking right a few feet away from them.

"Stop right there, Banks!" the Sheriff ordered on his megaphone.

"NO! Don't you see that he's a danger to everybody?" Deputy Banks argued back at him. "He's a goddamn indestructible alien from another planet! We HAVE to stop him before it's too late, Sherriff!"

"Banks, he isn't an alien. He's just another average teenage kid. Just let it go and come with us, okay," the Sheriff carefully suggested to the panicky and frantic deputy.

"I-I can prove it. Look!" Deputy Banks pointed out with a look of mad glee in his eyes, aiming the shotgun at Daniel's left shoulder blade and fired it.

The shot hit Daniel in the shoulder, causing him to yell and scream in pain as he fell to the ground clutching his now heavily bleeding shoulder.

This move also made the Sherriff, along with a few other officers, pull out their pistols and fire at the Deputy, who fell to his knees and fell forwards on his stomach with his legs and arms sprawled at different angles.

"Kid, are you all right?" the Sherriff questioned Daniel, who was surrounded by his parents. "We should take him to the medical center. I can drive you three there in no time."

"No!" Warren yelled a bit too loudly and quickly, much to the shock of the Sherriff. "I have a first aid kit inside the house that can easily fix this shoulder in a heartbeat."

The Sherriff was about to argue back, when Janine gave him a pleading look and made him reluctantly agree to take him back inside the house instead of the medical center.

"C'mon, I'll help you carry him to your house," the Sherriff said to them, grabbing onto Daniel's legs while Warren and Janine grabbed onto his arms.

Once they got inside and placed Daniel firmly on the couch, the Sherriff waved them goodbye, but not before giving them his absolute apologies for both the Deputy and his behalf, along with assuring them that he would NEVER let this happen again.

"Is he gone yet?" Daniel mumbled to his parents with his eyes half-closed.

They nodded; much to his relief, so he opened his eyes fully and hastily tore stopped gripping his now perfectly-healed shoulder.

"Damn solar flare," Daniel groaned as the aching sensation of the wound still lingered there.

"Speaking of solar flares, son; that was a dangerous thing you did a few minutes ago," Warren scolded and then, along with his wife, pulled him into a hug in which Janine was lightly sobbing as well.

"Never do that again," Janine continued to sob.

"Not for enough eleven years or so, until the next solar flare," Daniel said.

(Knock, knock!)

All three of them looked at the door and after a brief moment of quick discussion between them on whether of not they should open the door, Warren stood up from the couch and hesitantly opened the door to see Joseph standing there with a dazzling smile on his face and his long black signature coat on.

"Warren, it's good to see you again, old friend," he said. "May I come in?"

"Um, of course, Joseph," Warren reluctantly said and opened the door.

"Thank you," Joseph said as he entered the house. "I still see you keep your home relatively the same as your father did back in the old days."

"What do you want, Joseph?" Warren immediately questioned his former best friend with narrowing eyes.

"Why would you naturally assume that I 'want' something from you, Warren?" Joseph countered with a slight frown.

"Because, you always want something from me, something that's obviously valuable, if you, a rich and wealthy businessman, come to an average farmer's house," Warren glared.

"Touché," Joseph smiled curtly. "Honestly, I was only here to say hello to an old friend."

"Then why aren't you leaving yet, Jo. You've already said hello, do you want me to say goodbye?" Warren sneered and then beckoned the clearly shocked Joseph out of his home.

"Goodbye, Warren and I hope Daniel eventually gets better again," he said and walked out of the house towards his limo parked neatly outside the Li farm.

Warren waved goodbye back, however something in his sentence confused him.

How did he know about Daniel's injury earlier?

Back outside of the house, Joseph strolled towards his neatly-parked limo, when a flock of loose chickens came running his way and made him back up near the storm cellar entrance as he tried to carefully avoid them.

All of them kept pushing him towards the direction of the storm cellar, until finally he tripped over one of the chickens and fell right through the storm cellar entrance doors and onto the cold and dusty floor below, while leaving both of the wooden doors broken beyond repair.

Joseph grunted and heaved himself back up onto his feet again with his arms. He looked around him for a moment as he dusted off the dirt from his expensive clothes.

It was then that he spotted a big wide object draped over by a thin white cloth, so out of curiosity, he grabbed one end of it and pulled it over the object to find a black chrome spaceship in front of him.

"My god," he gasped and gently touched the spaceship.

This is just like what we in VERITAS were researching in.

As his hands lingered on the surface of the black chrome spaceship, it suddenly lit up in a bathing bright yellow light and began to levitate a meter or so off the ground, causing Joseph to back up immediately upon instinct.

"DANIEL, IS THAT YOU?" AI Jor-El asked, unaware right now of whom he was talking to.

This voice internally terrified Joseph, so he got out a rather large chunk of green kryptonite and placed it within a small equiangular slot he noticed on the spaceship, which, upon impact with the spaceship, started to slowly fade to a clear white colour as it seemed to groan and whine as well as flash a bright yellow and lime colour. At this, Joseph got the hell out of there and sprinted back towards his limo, telling his driver to take him back to O' Connor Mansion as fast as possible, despite the consequences. Fortunately, the ship regained some control over itself and settled back down again, although that wasn't going to last…

Li Residence - (22:00)

The rest of the day, in Warren and Janine's case, was pleasantly uneventful and so, as Daniel changed into a simple burgundy-coloured t-shirt and took off his jeans for bed, he pondered to himself about what would have happened if the Deputy had aimed at his head or somewhere else more vital, or if his powers hadn't activated sooner and he would bled to death or something like that.

Daniel was so caught up in his thoughts, he failed to notice the storm cellar faintly glowing bright yellow through the gaps of the newly-replaced entrance doors. It wasn't until the ship made a few loud and deep sounds that Daniel finally noticed something wasn't right at all.

With the sound and bright yellow glow of the spaceship, Daniel super sped into the storm cellar to see it flashing violently as if it was about to explode or something.

"Jor-El! What's wrong?" Daniel yelled over the loud noises that were coming from the spaceship.

"S-S-Son, a p-person has t-t-tampered w-with the ship by i-inserting a piece of gr-green k-kryptonite i-i-inside," AI Jor-El told him, his voice like static on a poor quality stereo.

"Who did it?" Daniel demanded. "Who put some green kryptonite inside the ship?"

"I-It was… I-I-It w-was…"

But AI Jor-El was cut short was the spaceship suddenly exploded violently and hurled Daniel out of the storm cellar, while completely destroying its doors into numerous small pieces. The sheer force of the explosion caused him to land ten to fifteen feet or so away from the storm cellar and land with a loud: 'THUD!' onto the ground with his shirt burnt and also smoking slightly.

Fortunately, he wasn't injured at all and managed to slowly lift his upper torso up to see that the storm cellar or what used to be of it, was know completely engulfed in a blazing inferno and was also billowing out thick clouds of black and chocking smoke.

"Jor-El! JOR-EL!"
