Clark's P.O.V.

How did she figure out my secret identity so quickly? It hasn't even been a whole day!

Well, she probably would have eventually.

I'm also curious as to how she got on that roof.

No, wait. I think I've got an explanation for that.

"You're a Meta, aren't you?"

She scowls. "You know what, let's have that "talk" back at your place."

Fair enough.

We arrive there in as much time as I could take her at a reasonable speed. I've actually taken her back to her room.

She somewhat angrily smoothes out her clothes then glares at me, no longer dressed as Superman. "I would have headed back myself, boy scout!"

She is like Bruce.

I've seen that anger in his eyes and I've heard him call me boy scout before. Both of these things have happened more than once.

She breathes out slowly, calming herself down. "You're right about me being a Meta, by the way. John doesn't know about that which should tell you how much I trust you."

She tells me what she can do. Her power set is pretty impressive in my opinion.

She even shows me her light form after making sure that the room's dark. It looks like her only, well, obviously, made of light.

"Can you talk?"

She changes back to a human then turns on a light. "Not in that form. I'd like to think that I'll be able to do that some day though I don't really have a way of knowing that for sure. Dad wasn't a Meta. I'm not sure where I get my powers from though I do like having them."

Well, I'm sure that she would.

She rubs her eyes.

"Getting sleepy?"

She rolls her eyes. "Yeah." She asks me a question.

"Yes, we could make a stop at your place." I gently run one hand through her hair. "Get some rest, okay?"

She whispers that part of her's afraid to go to sleep because she's certain that she'll have bad dreams about her Dad.

"Is that part of why you went to go find who killed him?"

She nods.

"Is it okay if I promise to get him tomorrow?"

She repeats my last word. "Yeah, I guess so if you can make sure to do it as soon as possible."

I grin at her. "Starling, my parents are farmers. Of course I can do that for you when you said."

She smiles then gives me a thank you hug. '"Kick his ass for me really good, okay?"

I laugh and return the hug. "Will do."

It's not long before she's getting me out of her room, saying that she needs to change into pajamas.

Just before I leave, I tell her that I hope she has sweet dreams.

She thanks me then softly closes the door.

It's not too long before I hear her tossing and turning.

Well, I did think that she'd be restless.

I'm about to open the door when I hear a song start playing. That's nice sounding.

I wonder if if this song is all instrumental. That doesn't seem like her so I kind of doubt it.

Just as I expected, I eventually hear a voice. "So long to all of my friends Every one of them met tragic ends*..."

What on Earth? This is what she wanted to listen to?

Why would she want...Oh.

I can understand now why she chose this. The lyric "Never let them take the light behind your eyes" brings a smile to my face. It's like this song was written by a Dad to his daughter.

It's nice, really. It should bring her some peace and comfort. She'll need both of those things, what with her Dad being gone.

The song gets louder. I don't think that she turned it up but the words that are being said are ones which I think she needs to hear. Sure, she's tough but she will definitely need strength to deal with being an orphan.

I think that I'll ask her what this song is called and what band it's by tomorrow. On second thought, I'll Google it.

I find out the answer pretty quickly. Well, I have mixed feelings about the band name but the song title is pretty.

The song winds down and finishes.

I'm pretty sure that she's turned off her phone given the fact that the song's over now.

Sure enough, a look inside using X-ray vision confirms it.

My smile widens on seeing that her nightshirt has a guitar on it. One that looks like hers. It also has the words Star Rocks under the guitar.

Musicians. I've got to say that I really like having one here.
