Chapter 2

Just a short chapter to update on what trasnpired after the end of chapter 1. Chapter 3 is coming very soon.

Clark sat awake in his loft. It was 10:30 the next morning. All three girls were asleep in the house, after the long night in the police station, but Clark couldn't sleep, he was still to distracted by his encounter with this mysterious Bruce Wayne character. Not only had he take out five armed thugs in a matter of seconds, and saved his girls, he had left the scene and wanted no part of any of it. He had no powers that Clark could see, and yet he had done some amazing things. Who was this man, where was he from, how did he do the things he'd done. Questions Clark desperately wanted the answer to.

He had let Bruce go after he'd given him his name and returned to the girls but he was regretting it now. Clark finally left his thoughts for the moment and headed into the house. The sweet aroma of a Martha Kent breakfast hit his nose.

"Hey sweety, rough night huh." she said with a smile.

"You have no idea."

"Chloe and Lana were like this when I got up," she said indicating the two sleeping girls on the couch.

"Yeah. Actually something happened last night," Clark said tentatively.

"Like what?"

"Well we went to this club to go dancing…"

"Whoa, you went dancing," Martha said trying to contain her laughter.

"Don't focus on the wrong part of the story," Clark said somewhat hurt.

"I'm sorry, it's just I've seen you dance before and…"

"Anyways, when we left I had to use the restroom, so they waited for me outside, but when I got outside they weren't there, and when I found them they were in an alley and there were a bunch of unconscious thugs around them."

"What happened?"

"Apparently they were coming after them when someone came out of nowhere and took out all five of them, and then just disappeared. But I went after him and he said his name was…"

"Hmmm, something smells good," said Lois loudly as she entered the room.

The other two girls stirred as well, rising from there slumber.

Martha offered Lois some orange juice.

"Thank you," said Lois taking a drink, "I assume Clark told you about our little adventure. We got to be pretty tight with the boys down at the twelfth precinct last night."

Clark rolled his eyes. Land and Chloe took seats next to him at the counter.

"I'm exhausted," said Chloe rubbing her eyes.

"Same here," agreed Lana.

"Well I've got to get to the Talon, so I'll see you kids later. There's plenty of food and you can stay as long as you'd like. Oh and Clark your father's out in the field, he said he need your help later," said Martha as she headed out the door.

"Well I'm going to take a shower because I feel disgusting," said Lois.

"Do you have to work today," asked Chloe.

"Yeah at two."

" I'll probably stop by then."

"Well I've got chores to do, so…" said Clark faintly.

"Yeah I'm gonna head home too, can you give me a ride," Lana asked Chloe.

"Sure."

"I'll call you later okay," she said giving Clark a peck on the cheek.
