Hope you all enjoy this!
Before the legend… before the icon… there was a teenager named Clark Kent. Someday, he'll master his powers and understand his true calling. For now, he just has to get through adolescence. This new interpretation of the enduring Superman mythology and its classic characters blends realism and adventure into an exciting action series. Clark doesn't wear glasses, there's no suit and he can't fly. Not yet, anyway. Between the boy he thought he was and the man he is destined to become are the stories of "Smallville."
Twelve years ago, a meteor shower burst from the heavens, raining destruction on the unsuspecting citizens of Smallville, Kansas. The intervening years have left the town's inhabitants with scars and secrets. From the ashes of tragedy, Clark Kent grows into an awkward teen. While adolescence always brings its challenges, Clark's transition from boyhood to adulthood is particularly difficult. He must struggle to come to grips with his emerging superpowers — and the effects of kryptonite — while battling the strange things that have plagued this idyllic Midwest hamlet since the meteor shower.
After Commencement
It all started at the Metropolis Airport… Chloe's dad, Gabe Sullivan, drove her to the airport, where they met Lois, her father, Sam Lane, a three star General, Clark and his parents, Jonathan and Martha Kent.Once they all loaded their suit cases onto the luggage racks that would soon be loaded into the huge storage space on large white plane, with red and blue stripes down the sides.
Chloe is a city girl from Metropolis, living in the small town known as Smallville. She is now 18 years old and 5 feet and 5 inches tall. She has shoulder length blonde hair, which she normally styles it flipped out at the ends. Her eyes are a brilliant blue that makes her smile seem all that much sweeter and intense. And she seems to always smile with her whole face with that little spark in her eye. Chloe is also very clever and quick witted.
Lois is 22 years old and Chloe's cousin and friend. She is 5 feet and 7 inches, with long, wavy, brown hair that goes to the middle of her back. She transferred to many different schools when she was growing up, do to her dad's job, but is now in college, where she is self-protective, aggressive, and protective of those she loves. She practically raised her sister Lucy when her mom died. She has stunning greenish brown eyes. She too is clever and quick witted.Shehas a thingfor sarcasm, because she always uses it. She and Clark tend to have a love-hate relationship.
Which brings us to Clark; he is 18 years old also. He has a strong build: broad shoulders, a chiseled abdomen, and not to mention a distinct jaw line. His hair is coal black with a little bit of a wave to it but not too much. The style is a little shaggy but not to long, it barely goes over his ears. He has attention-grabbing hazel eyes and a grin to die for. He is a good old country boy from Kansas; you know the kind that says yes ma, yes pa, helps little old ladies across the street, and opens doors for people. Plus he doesn't realize he is so attractive, which just makes him all the better. So I'm sure he seems pretty normal to you right? Well apart from him being an alien from planet Krypton, and having superpowers he is. He can super speed, has super strength, heat vision, x-ray vision, and super hearing (so far).
Chloe, Lois, and Clark talk amongst themselves while the parents do the same.
"So you really don't mind taking the girls with you?" questioned Gabe.
"Not at all. We are happy to bring them along." Martha reassured.
"But honey, now is the chance to ditch ALL the kids and have a romantic getaway." Jonathan joked. Martha playfullyswatted ather husband, as the kids all turned and glared playfully at him.
Chloe and Lois hugged and kissed their fathers good-bye as the Kents gathered their carry-on bags and other belongings.
"Be careful."
"Be good for the Kent's."
"Don't do anything I wouldn't. Wait… scratch that, just don't do anything that would disappoint me, okay Lo?" Both parents said in turn.
The girls looked at each other, "Ok… we won't. We love you and we'll be careful, good-bye." Gabe and Sam knew that tone all to well, it was playful sarcasm. That made them very uneasy so they pulled Clark off to the side to talk.
The girls walked over to Jonathan and Martha. When they turned around and found their father's talking to Clark they knew it could mot be good. In unison they say, "Oh no, what are they doing now!"
Lois thinks for a second about her master plan, "As much as I hate to say it we need to help him." Chloe looks over at her trying to piece a plan together also.
"I got a plan I'll distract our dads and you sneak around them, get Clark, and bring him back here." Chloe said while using her hands to show where to go.
"Hold on there Chlo, isn't there something not so "Mission Impossible" that we can do?" Lois asked in a cynical manner.
"You got a plan then?" Chloe asked annoyed.
"Hey Clark! You comin'?" Lois shouts across the room.
"That was your master plan?" Chloe asked in a mocking tone.
Clark says good-bye to the older men and heads over to Lois and Chloe.
"Sorry guys."
"Why were you talking to our fathers?" Chloe asks suspiciously.
"No reason…" Clark replied looking around.
"C'mon Clarkie, you know you want to tell us." Lois says raising eyebrow slightly, a smile spreading across her face.
Clark sighed deeply, "Guess you won't buy it if I say we were discussing sports will you?" When the girls looked at each other and shook their heads Clark decided to tell them the truth.
"Your dad's just wanted me to look after you," He grins and slightly slumps his shoulders, "That's all."
Lois was about to say something when the speaker clicked on, a lady speaking in a droning voice, "Boarding flight 21 to Orlando, Florida at Gate 19."
Clark's parents looked to the kids saying, "That's us… we better get a move on if we want to get there before the line gets too long."
Clark snatched his carry on bag as did his friends. The three of them followed the two chaperones onto the plane. When they boarded they found their seats in the far back away from everyone else. Lois sat next to the small oval window since she had never been to Florida or seen this part of the ocean up close. Therefore that was her seat hands down. Clark sat next to her in the middle while Chloe had the isle seat. She liked to be able to get to an exit quickly if something were to happen.
After they arrived at the Orlando airport and rented a nice car and drove to his aunt's house. The car was silver, 2001 Chrysler LHS and had a sun roof. The drive to Clark's Aunt's house was not too uncomfortable. Lois yet again had a window seat so she could take in the surroundings. Clark could not help but watch her. Then forced him self to stop studying her.
'Ok Clark get a grip on your self! This is Lois we're talking about here, My FRIEND! I can not be interested in her because that would be wrong. Or am I really hiding my true feelings about her?' Clark decided to watch the sky through the sunroof until they arrived. As soon as they got to the house, they unloaded all the luggage putting it in their rooms then went to bed without unpacking. Chloe, Lois, and Clark had one of the guest rooms. The girls had the snug beds while Clark had the air mattress on the chilly solid ground. That did not bother him though; he did not really notice temperatures unless they were drastic. But he did realize he was in a separate room from his parents with his best friends, who just happened to be women. That made him a little uncomfortable. He was lying in bed staring at the ceiling for a couple hours, which seemed like eternity to Clark, before he fell into a light slumber. The girls had fallen asleep a few hours ago.
When Clark woke up, he quietly crawled out of bed and snuck into the kitchen to get a cup of coffee, not noticing his parents as he walks in. He picked up the blue mug off the mug rack and walked over to the coffee pot and poured the hot liquid into his cup. The familiar aroma of his mother's coffee came rushing to welcome his senses. 'Mmm cinnamon, mom must have added that in stead of here usual nutmeg. Kinda tastes like the Talon's… wait mom works there. I mean it tastes like Lana's coffee. It's only been 24 hours and I already am missing Lana! I'm hopeless.' As he sipped his coffee he remembers that he forgot to put anything into it. So he turned around and picked up the sugar and poured it into his cup and stirred it. He took another sip of his coffee.
"Mmm… that's much better."
"Why because it tastes like syrup now?" Jonathan said sarcastically.
Clark smiled, "Noooooooo… just well sweetened." His mother looked at him then back to her book. They had already had breakfast hours earlier. Living on a farm has that effect on people.
"So son what are you doing up so early?" Jonathan asked his son while standing over his wife's shoulder to see what kind of book she was so into.
"Umm… I guess I was just so excited about being here." He sipped on his coffee again.
"Hey dad, do you mind if I start sleeping on the couch?" Clark says in an embarrased tone. Jonathan looks at his son in confusion.
"Uhhh it's just weird. I would be more comfortable on the couch. If that's ok, give the girls their own space."
The two adults eyed their son, "Ok, that's fine."
"We will have to take the air mattress down unless one of the girls wants to sleep on that." They both said in turn.
Clark finished his coffee and rinsed the cup out and put it in the sink and walked into the living room, over to the window to check out the view. 'Wow this view is better than the one at home out of my loft!'
He was wearing a red shirt and blue flannel pajama pants. The sky and ocean look as if they would never end. It reminded him of the fields back at home, in Kansas, USA. He loved being there, even if his friends hated the corn and beans
'I love the smells. The freshly cut grass, the rain, the snow, the leaves in the fall, and do not forget about the smell of corn that always surrounds me, I absolutely loved it all.' He was snapped out of his thoughts by his father's voice.
"Hey Clark, your Mom and I are going to run down to the lobby and see what time things start opening, okay?" Jonathan told his son as he gathered his shoes and put them on.
"We might be a while honey so lock up when we leave?" Martha said in a loving mother tone as she grabbed her purse and slung it over her shoulder.
Clark turned around to look at his parents.
"Okay I'll stay here so the girls won't be alone when they wake up. Why don't you just take the card key and lock it on your way out? That way you know we'll be safe." He said with a grin. Martha grabbed the card key and gave it to her husband to put in his wallet. "I know you can keep them safe, its just habit for me to want the best for you, Chloe and Lois. Even if you are 'special'."
Looking quickly back to Clark then to the door again, the two adults walked out and locked the door, leaving the Clark with his two best friends who were still sleeping.
Michael went to the kitchen and got a bowl of Fruit Loops and ate in silence. After he finished he rinsed his bowl out and walked back to the window to watch the waves crash into the beach.
So what did you think? It is justthe first part, so it will get better. I promise! Pleasereview! I can take constuctive critism. Thank you!
