When the elevator doors opened Clark storm out of it into the lobby as Sean followed him
"Where you going?" Sean asked as he followed Clark out of the building, almost having to run
"Away from you!" Clark replied back looking around hoping no one he knew saw what was going on
"Why?"
Clark stopped walking and turned to Sean "Why? I don't really know if you're telling the truth."
"Lana Lang is my mother and you're...."
Clark throws his arms in the air "Don't even finish that!"
"What's the problem? How do you want me to prove to you, who I really am." he was also yelling
Clark pulled Sean by the arm into an alleyway "First of all, stop yelling. Second, where exactly is your mother?"
"She doesn't know I'm here and if she found out she'll kill me, she may even disown me! So I'm not telling you."
"Doesn't sound like something Lana would do."
Sean cracks "Will you sure don't know her, if she knew I was here, seeing you...I'm sure she'll freak, actually I KNOW she'll freak. Seems to me she wants nothing to do with you." Sean replied bluntly
Clark looked down, knowing why
"But whatever you two had together most have been something, cause at least she kept this..." Sean opened his backpack and took out the photo from earlier
"What's that?"
"It's a picture of you two, sorry about it being torn, she most have done that." he handed Clark the picture "See, you look different." pointing at the picture "you don't have the glasses or all that grease in your hair."
"It's gel" Clark replied as he looked at the picture, he closed his eyes, he remembered exactly when it was taken, it was the summer of their 11th grade year. He opened his eyes and handed back the photo to Sean, trying to hold back any emotions
"Are you okay?" he asked putting the photo back into his backpack
"Where is she?" Clark asked ignoring Sean's question
"Smallville."
"Smallville? I thought--."
Cutting him off "We just moved there a month ago, we're staying at Nell's."
Clark nodded "How did you get here?"
"I ran."
"You, what?"
"I ran here." Sean repeated himself
"How, you're..."
Cutting him off "Stop playing stupid, I think I made it very clear in the elevator that I know who you are."
Clark laughed "You aren't even sure."
"I could be wrong, but how many normal guys do you know walk around with superman's outfit under their suits?" Sean pointed to his eyes and smiled
Clark shook his head "This still doesn't make sense, how did you find me?"
"Just followed the clues. Everything came together in Perry's office, after I x-rayed you. Before then I didn't know, who you really were."
Clark nodded "So you have it all, the running, the x-raying, the hearing--"
"No, I'm very much like a human when it comes to getting hurt."
Clark rubs his neck "Why did you look for me? If your mother seems to not want you to even know I'm alive?"
" Why wouldn't I? I didn't want to live my whole life alone with these powers." Sean's eyes started to tear up "I didn't want to feel alone anymore, my mom is great, I can't ask for anyone else. But I wanted a dad someone to play football with, to go fishing with." he paused "Then when I found out about superman, I knew, I just knew I wasn't alone anymore." He paused again to wipe the tears from his eyes "So I spent all my free time looking for a ways to contact superman, and then I came across this..." he pulled out an old edtion of the planet and handed it to Clark "I saw that" He pointed to the page with a photo of superman saving a school bus "You were the first to have the scoop on superman and an interview with him, so I thought if I was able to contact you, you would have been able to help me contact superman."
Clark nodded understanding everything now
"I just wanted a father." Now tears were flowing down Sean's face
Clark heart broke knowing exactly were Sean was coming from. He himself once wanted to know who his real parents were and wanted them back badly enough he could almost taste it. Finally he also broke down in tears as he took Sean into his arms and held him as they both cried.
"Where you going?" Sean asked as he followed Clark out of the building, almost having to run
"Away from you!" Clark replied back looking around hoping no one he knew saw what was going on
