CHAPTER 1 - "Something good amidst all the tradegy."
Martha Kent was hurrying around the kitchen preparing dinner when her two sons asked the question she had been expecting and dreading for years.
"Mom, you know we never felt anything but loved but-" Deacon started shakily
"-we were wondering about the full story of our adoption." Clark finished uncertainly
Martha turned around , looked at her twin sons and sighed. " Boys there's nothing to tell.It was a standard adoption.If there was anything to tell your father and I would. Now drop it. Please."
The boys were reluctant to believe their Mom after that dismissal but were relieved their family had no secrets. Little did the two know that conversation would slowly crumble the wall their parents had built around their mysterious past.
later that night as Martha and Jon crawled into bed
" Jonathon, I'm worried, the boys started asking about their past today."
" We agreed we wouldn't tell them, give them a chance to grow up like normal kids."
" Well that backfired because it's obvious to them they are not normal.Yes they have special gifts but that held them back from things,like playing football with the other boys.They always had to sit on the sidelines."
" They may not like their powers all the time but there have been times they've come in handy."
" I know that but why can't we tell them about the adoption. They'll find out eventually it might as well be from us."
" Martha we've had this discussion how many times? And we never com to a different conclusion so just drop it for now because the boys are not ready to handle the truth. Now it's late so go to sleep.Goodnight "
" Fine.Goodnight"
And with that they both turned over but neither slept both too caught up in their own thoughts to do so.
