Chapter 5 : The unwanted past
Clark was baffled by Katy's words. He replayed the sequence of events in his mind.
Clark went to the Talon and looked around.
" Darn it , she's a no show" Clark said to himself,not noticing Lana behind him.
" Who's a no show?" Lana asked.
Clark jumped at the sudden cut in his thoughts.
" That kid Katy was supposed to be here, we had a biology project to work on" Clark explained.
" Ooops I sent her out because she was being a jerk the other day and honestly I couldn't handle her attitude here , I told her to go to the caves" Lana said.
Clark raced out in super speed after he heard this and went to his loft and got a lantern and raced down to the caves.
When he got down there he heard sniffling and saw a dark figure in the corner of the caves.
The figure was small, to be exact a child's figure.
There was a sudden silence. The shadow was aware that it was no longer alone.
" Who's there?" a voice croaked.
" Katy, it's me. Clark." He said.
" What are you doing here?" Katy said suprised.
" Looking for you actually" Clark said.
" Why?" Katy said, shocked.
" Because we got homework to do" Clark said.
" I already did it so that way you can save the whole ' If I don't have this paper done by Monday, I'll beat you up' speech" Katy said glumly.
Katy was holding the paper. It had to be an A+ paper at least.
" Katy is someone bullying you?" Clark asked.
" Why would it matter, you and everybody else don't seem to care what happens in my life" Katy said as she had her head hanging down again.
A shuddering sob came from her.
" Nobody cares" she repeated.
It was around 1:00 AM when Clark fell alseep but it was anything but peaceful.
" Clark Kent! get up you're going to be late" His mother yelled from downstairs.
Clark grunted in response. He dragged his heavy body to the shower and then got dressed.
Clark super speeded down the stairs and to the kitchen table.
He groggily poured a bowl of cereal and a glass of milk.
He rested his hand on his cheek and closed his eyes while he was eating, his father noticed this.
" Son, is something on your mind?" Jonathan asked as he eyed Clark's odd behavior.
He nodded.
" There's this kid, Katy Parker, She's real smart and everything but you see she's only 12 and I think she's getting bullied " Clark said.
" You mean Katy as in Katy Parker?" Martha suddenly asked. Clark nodded and said " Yeah, you know her or something?"
" Yes, I was best friends with her mother in high school, I was a senior and she was going into the 7th grade so our teacher asked us to write letters to the 7th graders.
Well time passed and we were still best friends but you see the 7th graders were actually from Minnesota even after I graduated I still kept in touch with her and to this day I still do, you and Pete met her when she was 3, they came down to visit us " Martha said as she grabbed a photograph of 3 small children and showed it to Clark.
Clark stared at the picture. He left a couple minutes later.
Clark didn't see Katy on the bus. When they got to school they saw an ocean blue car enter the parking lot and he saw Katy get out and gave her dad a kiss.
Clark invited Katy over to his house she said that she could and followed him home.
" Mom, I'm home!" Clark yelled. Katy's eyes darted around.
" Come on in Clark" Martha said from the kitchen.
Katy followed him silently.
" Hi Clark, who's your friend?" Martha asked.
" Mom, this is Katy, Katy this is my mom" Clark explained.
" Hi Mrs. Kent" Katy said in a shy voice.
" Hi Katy, I haven't seen you in a while" Martha stated.
Katy wrinkled her eye brows in confusion.
" Here look at this" Martha said as she handed the photograph over to Katy.
Katy studied it for several long seconds.
Jonathan came in from outside.
" Hey son, who's you friend?" Jonathan asked, slightly aware of who she was.
Katy handed Martha the photo back.
" Dad. this is Katy, Katy this is my dad" Clark said.
" Hello" Katy said quietly.
Clark said they had homework to do.
They came down for a snack after 30 minutes of studying.
They each had a cookie and a glass of milk.
" So how are you're parents?" Jonathan asked.
" Not good" Katy simply answerd.
" Not good , what do you mean by not good?" Martha asked.
" I really hate saying this to all my parent's friends but... they-they died 3 years ago" Katy said looking down at the floor.
" How?" was all Martha could ask.
" We were going to my grandma and grandpa's house for my grandpa's birthday, it was about 2 1/2 hours away from our house.
It had been raining really hard and when we got about in 10 minutes distance of their house we heard on the radio that everyone had evacuated and that the dam was leaking alot of water.
Well to make a long story short we got caught in the storm and it blew our car with it. I remember when I woke up I was at the red cross center in a whole different city which to my shocking surprise was next to the city mourge.
I discoverd my parents were dead and were there and I had to identify their dead bodies. I also discoverd that I was blind in my left eye and deaf in my right ear and to this day I'm" Katy said.
" I'm so sorry" Martha said.
" Don't be sad or anything 'cause I don't think that they would want anyone to be sad, oh and if you're wondering I live in a foster home" Katy said but the sudden brakes of a car squealing came into the long drive way. " Bye" she said.
Clark went back to his loft. The november air was cold against his back.
The sight he saw was something he never expected.
There Katy was with her foster mother, she was being held painfully by her shoulders. Clark felt a sickening sensation in his stomach. it was kryptonite.
" Brat, did you tell them anything?" She said as she punched Katy in the face.
" No, I swear I didn't say anything, honest I didn't " Katy said as she held the cheek that stung.
She also had the strange nausea in her stomach and her veins were turning green.
" Okay good" her foster mother said. " Now get in the car, I don't want you ever to go out after school, not after this stunt" she said as she grabbed her by the neck and pushed her into the back seat.
Katy saw Clark and mouthed the words " Don't tell" and she shook her head.
Clark was going to ask what was going on the next day.
