After Clark and Sean had their father and son moment they parted and went to the nearest cafe to talk about the things going on in their lives.
"So after I got kicked out my last school for good, my Mom decided to move us to Smallville." Sean said as he took a sip of his drink
"Wow." Clark replied surprised at Sean's bad boy recorded "Smallville was the last resort, huh."
"Yeah I guess... Smallville isn't so bad, if you're bed written" Sean replied rolling his eyes
Clark laughed
Sean looked around worried "What time is it?"
Clark looks at his watch "Umm, it's about 2:15."
"Oh crap!" throwing down his drink and grabbing his backpack
"What?" Clark asked worried
"If I'm not home in five minutes, Mom gonna know something is up." He runs out of the shop as Clark threw a 10 on the table and followed behind
"You'll never get there on time, if you run." Clark said as he undid his tie
"So what do you suggest I do?"
"Fly..."
Before Sean knew it he was up in the air flying above the city and Clark was in Superman mode, in two minute flat they were in from of Nell's
"Wow!" that was the only thing that came out of Sean's mouth
Clark smiled "No problem, see you later, kid." with that he was already back in the air
Sean smiled and then ran into the house, Lana was already home from work and was sitting at the kitchen table going over some bills.
Noticing Sean run in "Hey, honey, how was school?"
Sean thought for a minute before answering, trying to think up a good lie "It was great! I got an 'A' on my English report!" Okay, that was way over the top, Sean thought as he saw his Mom expression change
"An 'A', wow that's great!"
Or not, Sean made a smile then threw his backpack onto the table "So how was work." He kicked up his feet up onto the table.
"Great..." Lana looked at his shoes "Sean, get your feet off the table, this is were we eat."
"OOPS" taking his feet off the table "Sorry Mom."
Lana looked at his shoes again "You've been running."
"I missed the bus, so..."
"Did anyone see you?" Lana asked looking around, making sure Nell wasn't around
"No, Mom no one saw me."
"Sean you have to be careful." Lana said in a worry tone
"Mom, no one saw me, I made sure of it."
Lana nodded "Okay." She smiled "Go get yourself cleaned up."
Sean agreed and ran up the stairs to the bathroom
Lana went back to her bill till the phone rang "Hello" Lana picked it up "Oh, hello Mrs.Johnson...what? What do you mean Sean wasn't in school today? I see, okay, I'll talk to him." She hung up the phone and sighed in anger
"This boy is something else." she graded his backpack off the table, little did she know what was going to be falling out of it "What the--" Lana picked up the photo and looked at it, she couldn't believe Sean had found this photo
Lana stormed up the stairs to Sean's bedroom where he was sitting on his bed playing video games
"Mrs.Johnson called." Lana said as she watch Sean's expression change to normal to scared "Where were you today?"
"Out." that's all Sean replied with
Lana threw the backpack onto his bed "Just out?"
Getting up from the bed and turning off the game "Yeah, out hanging around town."
"Why do you keep lying to me Sean?" Lana's tone changed from angry to now sad
"I learn from the best." Sean replied looking right at her
Lana nodded as she pulled out the photo out from behind "Where did you get this?" She asked showing him it
"I found it." he replied trying to grab it from her
"Where?"
"In the barn."
Lana shook her head "Why did you keep it?"
"Why does it matter?"
"It does matter, why would you keep this picture out of all the others Nell has of me." Lana was now shouting
Sean put his head down
"You know don't you." Lana asked with a worry look "How long?"
"Mom..."
"God damn it Sean! How long?"
"Just for a few weeks."
"I can't believe you." Lana replied shaking her head in anger
Sean was now also getting angry and now yelling "This wouldn't been an issue if you were open about who my father was, I wouldn't have had to go behind your back and look for him!" OOPS did I just say that out loud
"Oh! So that's what you were doing today!"
Sean was now angry at himself for letting that slip
Lana walked to his bed and graded his backpack, pulling out the newspaper and looking at the article that was circled with red ink as she read it out loud "Superman saves a school bus fill with students." She stops, then looks at the author "By Clark Kent." She whispers it.
Lana grabs the newspaper and photo "You're grounded! You're only to go to school and back home, no video games, no TV and no computer." She walked out of his room as she slamed the door.
