Discovery
When Clark and Lana arrived back at the farm Lana headed inside and told Martha that they were back from the Caves. Clark however, didn't rush in right away because he had to grab the globe and hide it away before he came back into the house. He super sped into the loft and put the globe underneath a box in a corner against the wall, where no one would notice anything different in the loft right away. He then super sped back to the truck and headed inside the house. When he entered the house Martha had just pulled muffins out of the oven and Jonathan was sitting at the kitchen table going over their bills.
"How was your return to the cave Clark?" Martha asked.
"Fine, it was a little cold but all I really wanted to do was look around." Clark said.
"It was cold?" Martha asked.
"Yea, just a little bit colder than it has been in the past I guess. But I guess it's only because we're getting into fall and winter." Clark said.
"That's true. It does get colder at night." Martha said.
Clark began to yawn and Jonathan and Martha both noticed.
"Son, I think you've had a busy enough day, and I still think you need time to recover. Why don't you wash up and head to bed." Jonathan said
Clark shook his head and yawned again.
"Goodnight mom." Clark said as he hugged her and then said, "Night, Dad. Night Lana" He then headed upstairs to bed. He was so tired by the time he got there he fell onto his bed and took off his shoes and fell asleep once his head hit the pillow.
Later that night Clark woke up with a splitting headache. He had been dreaming weird dreams as if he was still in limbo being taught by Jor-El and comforted by Lara. Clark didn't know where he had gotten the headache but decided to go into his parents' room and tell them that he was going out to the loft to see if he could get better sleep out there. Clark crept into the room and tapped his mother on the shoulder. Martha rolled over towards Clark.
"Clark are you ok?" Martha whispered.
"Yea, I'm fine I just can't get back to sleep. I'm going to head out to the loft and see if I can get more sleep." Clark whispered back.
"Ok, that will be fine Clark, goodnight." Martha said.
Clark then tiptoed downstairs and put on his shoes and headed out towards the barn. When he reached the top of the stairs he noticed that a light was shining out of the corner of the room. He then walked over to the corner and picked up the box. There was a brief blinding flash of light which covered the whole room. After the bright light subsided Clark then noticed that the globe was no longer on the floor but floating up in the air at eye level. He tried to reach for it but it bobbed left to right as he tried to reach it. He then stood there and waited for the globe to do anything, talk to him, move towards him, stop glowing, but then he heard a voice.
"Kal-El, this is to remind you of everything you have learned while inside the cave wall. I will no longer be in the caves because I am here in this globe. Your father and I will always be with you if you keep this globe safe. It is the last link to your history and the first link to your future. Build your own destiny Kal-El. We are proud you survived. I love you Kal-El. Be safe." Lara's voice echoed across the loft.
The globe emitted a small glow as it descended towards the ground. When it finally descended Clark picked it up and looked at it. The globe had changed from what looked like the planet earth with all the continents, to now looking like another planet much like earth.
"Is that Krypton?!?!?!" He said in a confused voice.
Just then he heard footsteps coming from the house. He put the globe back in the box and closed the lid and moved it further in the corner. Clark then sped over to the couch and grabbed a blanket and lay down on the couch and closed his eyes.
Lana came into the barn and headed up to the loft. She knew she had seen some sort of light emitting from the loft but she didn't know what it was so she decided to investigate. She had been on her usual late night trip to the bathroom when she saw the light through the window. She didn't want to wake Clark or the Kent's just in case it wasn't anything at all. When she reached the top step she had found Clark sleeping on the couch snoring so loud that all of Kansas could hear him.
"Clark, is everything ok up here?" She said as she tried to shake Clark awake.
Clark's snoring stopped and he opened his eyes and then he rubbed them.
"Lana, what are you doing in the loft?" Clark said.
"I was about to ask you the same question, Clark." Lana replied.
"I fell asleep for an hour after I went to bed but all of the sudden I was wide awake and sometimes I come out here and sleep and by the time I get up here and snuggled on the couch I'm out like a light until morning." Clark said.
"Oh, well I thought I saw something out here but I guess I was wrong. I'm going to head back into the house." Lana said.
"Goodnight Lana, I'll see you in the morning." Clark said.
"Night, Clark." Lana replied and headed back down the stairs and towards the house.
Clark then decided that there wasn't any more luck with the globe tonight until he talked with his parents. His headache had pretty much dissipated since the globe was finished talking to him and he lay back down on the couch and fell asleep.
