chapter 2 -- past
the previous evening had hosted life altering events.
Clark had gone down to his cellar to get some potatoes (after all, storm cellars have much more than illegal uses) when he saw the spaceship moved to a corner of the room. A man in all white was asleep beside it, wrapped in his own cloak.
Clark's first reaction was, "Who the HELL are you?"
The stranger woke with a start, and his frightened expression turned to happiness when he saw Clark's face.
'You,' he said, standing up in wonderment, 'you are kal. my son! my son!'
Clark jumped back in alarm.
"Scuse me?"
The man took a deep breath. His clothes were that of a space age breed, all white and trimmed with blue. and one his chest was something that Clark recognized. It was similar to an 'S' that Clark once made in shop class that previous year.
'I, am Jor-El, of the house of El on the destroyed planet of Krypton. I am a past of my moon, who travelled into the future to seek out my son. You are my son.'
Clark stared at him blankly.
Jor-El was disturbed by Clark's reaction but explained the fates of Krypton to him, and told him who he was and who he needed to be. We all know the story.
As much as Clark didn't understand everything, he did understand his purpose. He knew that nomatter what, he couldn't stay in Smallville. And worst of all, he had to leave Lana.
He put his head down. "why me?" he asked.
"You are this world's only hope Kal-El," Jor-El replied. "Find your heart, then save them all."
Clark looked up to speak, but Jor-El had disappeared.
