think of stories. Have fun reading. Oh and thanks to chris-warren876 for
the advice.
Chapter 4: A Talk
"Hello.um how did you know my name"? Clark asked. He was a bit stunned at what he saw before him. But then again he had gotten used to strange after so many years in Smallville.
"Oh.that's the easy part.Professor Ororo told me and Professor Xavier told her, and he found out from Cerebro," Rogue told Clark, a bit surprised by what he asked.she had expected him to ask who they were first. But oh well she was willing to improvise as long as he was talking to them.
"Professor's.what do you mean by Professors." Clarks mind was going super fast thinking of all the possibilities why they were here only one came to his mind, and he was very very angry. "Only one thing of course your from some institute.which means some how you found out about me and want to use me or study me. Well your not I can tell you that for sure. NOW GO AWAY!." Clark stormed off at super speed not letting them get a word in they already knew about him so he wasn't worried. He couldn't believe any of this he was going to fight. He stopped running at super speed as soon as he got out of their sight and climbed slowly up the barn. Some might think of it as a bad hiding place but for him he could always jump out of the window. He crouched down out of sight where no one could see him.of course there was always the hope that they would leave. A minute later that possibility disappeared.
"Well that did not go well", an older women than the girl named Rogue, perhaps it was the Professor Ororo, strange name he thought before the voice came back. "Perhaps we frightened him a little."
"A little.I think that was more like a lot, more like spooked him. My guess is he is used to covering up his abilities. Super speed now that would be an interesting power to have. Never be late to class." This time the person who spoke was a male, about the same age as Professor Ororo. Maybe they weren't from the government or some scientific agency.maybe. He just didn't know for sure yet.
"Clark.its ok.were not from the government, believe me we tend to hide from them." Rogue spoke up that sweet voice.he so wanted to believe her, but he just couldn't. Suddenly he saw something in the corner of his eye. One of the machine equipment on the upper level was teetering on the edge.probably from when the jet landed. He watched it for a while as the three people down the stairs were searching for him. Then he saw it in slow motion.the equipment started its fall down.and the girl Rogue was right beneath it.
"No," he yelled out, and ran super speed to the railing jumped at super speed still and pushed her out of the way a mere second before the equipment landed with a crash on the ground. Clark slowly got up and dusted himself off and helped Rouge to her feet, as the two adults came rushing to where they stood just staring at each other. "Thank You Clark, that was very kind of you." Rogue sweetly said.
"Yah no problem," Clark said and then started to pick up the heavy equipment effortlessly and set it down on a hay bale out of the way.
"Clark we don't want to hurt you.or study you.we just wanted to find out if you were an actual mutant and not somebody who has abilities because of the meteor shower." Rogue told him keeping her voice as calm as possible. She had never seen some one who could effortlessly lift very heavy objects, this one in particular almost killed her.
"You think I'm a mutant, let me guess your mutants too." Clark turned around and started up the stairs to the loft knowing that they would follow this time but he wasn't as scared as before.
"Yes, we all are, and it certainly explains your powers and we have had close calls in Smallville we just didn't know." Ororo said following him up the stairs.
"Sorry but I'm not a mutant" Clark stated very clearly. He sat down next to the window everything was so quiet now, no one to give him advice whether to tell them the truth or not. He wanted to so badly he felt he could trust them.
"If you're not than what are you.your powers are too powerful for a meteor mutant." Rogue said and took a seat across from him.
"I know, I have met a few of them," Clark answered back slowly waiting for a response. Still unsure of himself whether to tell the truth or not.
"Clark, you can trust me.please what are you then, you say you're not a mutant. You can trust us." Ororo and Scott were nodding in agreement to what Rogue had said, all wondering what he would say next.
"I feel I can trust you but I have learned over the years to keep my secret safely guarded." Clark told them, he stood up and looked out the window of the barn towards the fields of corn. "In a way you could say that I'm a meteor mutant, I arrived with them any way." He started to say more but was cut off suddenly by Scott while Ororo and Rouge stood quietly taking it all in.
"Wait a second Clark, arrived with the meteors.you don't mean that you're a."
"An alien.yes that's exactly what I mean." Clark slowly said hoping that they would be ok with what he had just said.after all he had no clue as to what their mutations were.
"You're an alien.but you look exactly like us," Rogue slowly said a bewildered look on her face.
"I know I look exactly human on the outside.that must be why my parents chose to send me here.so that I would at least partially fit in." Clark answered back to her looking deeply into her eyes.
"Excuse me Clark for saying this but what kind of parents would send their child to an unknown planet." Ororo confronted Clark taking his attention away from Rouge.
"The kind that is on a dying planet.I'm the last of my kind.the last Kryptonian." Clark slowly said, it was something he didn't like to think about a lot.being the only one.
"I'm so sorry Clark," Rogue told Clark she could tell this was very hard for him to talk about perhaps something he didn't like to even think about.
"Ok Clark, let's get to the point." Ororo interjected "We were sent here to see if there was a real mutant in Smallville, and we have found an alien. Now usually if the person agrees we take them to the school for the gifted where we are based and help them with their powers. Or just help them come to an understanding of who they are. Now obviously it's much more different for you. If you came with us we would tell everyone you were a mutant.and in that capacity we could help you. Would you like to come with us." Ororo finally finished and everyone waited for an answer from Clark. He thought for about a minute looking outside and contemplating how this could affect his life. Finally he gave them his answer.
"Yes, I think I will"
