Chapter 17
A lone car is driving down a deserted Highway in Kansas. Behind the wheel is a woman, she is looking at a map as she drives. She is so lost in looking for the town on the map she fails to see the storm brewing. Till a bolt of lighting eruptd in front of her car. Causeing her to vear off the road into the middle of a field of corn.
As her car comes to a stop, three blots of lighting streaks from the sky and blast a portion of the corn field. When her vision returns enough for her to make things out, she sees a person laying in the field where the lighting struck. She jumps out of her car and rush to them.
It is plain that this person just got hit by the bolts. He is laying there still smoking from it and is completely naked.
"Hey are you ok, dum question." she says.
As she is getting up to run to her car to call 911 on her cell phone the guy stands up, facing away from her.
"Hey are you sure you should be standing up?" The girl asks.
With this he turns around and looks at her. "I am fine, who are you?"
"I am Lois, Lois Lane. And you are?" She asks.
"I am Kal'el and i must get home." He tells her.
"Well Kal'el i think you need to go to a hospital and get checked out." She tells him.
"No i am fine i just need to go home." He says again.
"Look Kal'el you just got hit by three lighting bolts at once. Now where i come from one is enough to kill you. So i think you need to see a doctor before returning home. Oh and maybe find some clothes, wait there i have a blanket in my car." Lois tells him.
"I am Kal'el i must fulfill my destiny, please take me to my home." He asks her.
"Ok ok, where is your home?"
"A town near here called Smallville." Kal'el tell her.
She returns with the blanket and hands it to him. He wraps it around his waist and follows her back to her car.
"Smallville huh, good i hope you know the way because i have been driving around for hours trying to find it. My cousin lives there." She says.
"Who is your cousin?" he asks.
"Lana, Lana lang. Why do you know her?" She asks him.
"Why yes the name sound fimilar." He tells her lost in thought.
He doesn't know why that name sounds so fimilar to him but it does. It is like it hold senifagant meaning to him. If only he could remember, all he knows is he needs to get to Smallville and back to his adoptive parents.
"Ok so which way?" Lois asks.
Kal'el shows her which way to go and soon they are on there way. She pulls up into the farm yard and he exits the car saying.
"Thank you Lois i must go now."
"Wait a minute, where is the town?" She asks.
"Follow the road it will lead you to where you want to go." He tells her.
"Thanks, i have to admit that you are one strange person Kal'el. But you did get us here so thanks." She tells him.
He smiles and then walks away, as she drives off down the road. Martha is looking out the window when she takes a sudden intake of breath that catches Jonathan's attention.
"What is it Martha?" he asks.
"Jonathan it is Clark."
With that she rushes out the door with Jonathan on her heels and meets Clark half way to the house. She has tears streaming down her face as she embraces him, as does Jonathan.
"Clark i am so glad you are back." Martha says.
"Yeah son it is good to have you home safe and sound." Jonathan states.
"My name is Kal'el and i am the last survivor of the planet Krypton. I must fulfill my destiney."
