Special Guest starring: Garfield Logan.

I don't own the superheroes appearing in this story. See links below.


"Hello!" a young male voice yelled into the house. LOUD CHEERING AND APPLAUSE "…anybody home?"

"Hello!" Jonathan said surprised when he approached the stranger.

"Hello, sorry the door was open!" the boy said. He was young, a bit older than Jon, slender body, and brown hair with green streaks. He was a bit smaller and thinner than Jon. "Sorry, for intruding… I am looking for Jonathan Kent."

"That's me!" Jon said.

"Hello, Garfield Logan!" the boy said. APPLAUSE "I hope I don't disturb. But it is realy important…"

"Ehm… Well…" Jon carefully peaked around the corner. His father and his 'new best friend' were still in the living-room. And the barn was still full of Superheroes. A really bad moment for this boy to show up. Otherwise… he didn't look like a prominent actor. What if he was one of Mispixfix' jokes? "…one second, please. Mom!" HAHAHA

Lois was right behind him. "Ehm… I tell your father!" HAHAHAHAHA

Jon looked on the foreign boy again and smiled awkwardly. HAHAHAHA

"Ehm…" HAHA "…sorry, ehm… why are you here?"

"Do you know a guy named Timmy Tanner?" HAHAHAHAHA APPLAUSE Garfield, or Gar, asked nervously.

"Timmy Tanner?" Jon remembered him. "He is an old friend of me, from Metropolis! He moved to Germany a few years ago, but he returned to Metropolis around a year ago. But that was after I and my parents moved out here. Ehm… listen… Garfield…"

"It's Gar, for short."

"Gar…" HAHAHA "…okay… ehm… it's a bad moment right now! We have guests…" HAHAHAHA "…and…"

"Please, I came all the way from Georgia to see you! Your friend Timmy has figured out something about me, he shouldn't know! And I need your help to contact him! Or could you contact him… It is… something private!" HAHAHA "And… if it comes out, it could… ehm… well…" HAHA

"Wait! I get my phone!" Jon said. HAHAHA The laughing audience seem to know more about Gar.

Jon fled out of the kitchen and kept sure that he closes the door behind him, so Gar does not see the red-dressed 'Superman' in the living-room. Jon grabbled his smartphone from the coffee-table and went back to the kitchen. Of course, his phone was still a requisite… HAHAHAHA

"Ehm… Timmy's number is saved! You can call him!" HAHAHAHAHA "I need to check my brother, I'll be right back." HAHAHAHAHA

Jon left and found Jordan in the corridor.

"Jon, is that guy real or one of that Imp's jokes?" HAHAHA

"He said, he want's to contact Timmy!"

"Timmy? I thought they send him to New Carthage High?" HAHAHAHA

"Tanner!"

"Oh…" HAHAHAHAHA "…Timmy Tanner! Yeah, we haven't seen him for a while." Jordan said. "So, you think that guy is real and not one of Mumumu's jokes?" HAHAHAHAHA

"Yes! Very bad moment. Especially, now that the barn is full of superheroes!" Jon said. HAHAHAHAHA "Imagine Timmy Tanner's face if he would figure out that he, the probably biggest Superman-fanatic in the world, figures out that he was living next door to Superman for years and that he is our dad." HAHAHAHAHA

With bright smiles on their faces the boys went back to the kitchen, where Gar was sitting on the table and glared on them with open eyes and open mouth.

"Superman is your dad?" he asked shocked. OHHHHHHHHHHH

In shock the boys shied away again. HAHAHAHAHA

"What?" Jon yelled innocently. HAHAHAHA Trying to act dumb. "How ridiculous is that?" HAHAHAHA

"You… you just said that in the corridor?" Gar said. BOAHHHHHHHH

"How… How did you hear that?" Jordan asked. He was used to have superhearing, but that guy…

"Gosh… Now it makes totally sense that that Timmy figured out my secret! He is working for Superman!" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"What? Timmy Tanner is not working for our dad!" Jon said. HAHAHAHA "I mean for Superman…" HAHAHA "…Whoever he is." HAHAHAHA "DAAAAAD!"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Clark was in the living-room the whole time, talking to his new friend!

"So, what is your story? What the author came up with for you?" HAHAHAHA

"Okay… I love it…" HAHAHAHAHA. The bulky 'Superman' stood up, the lights went off and he was in the spotlight. HAHAHAHA "…It's a cold and dark winter-night in deepest Siberia. My parents… two poor Moldavian farmers, banished by the corrupt forces of a single Stalinist, far away from home, from their loved ones… And then, out in this dark and cold night, a spaceship crashes from heaven…"

"Spaceship? You said, you were born on Earth?" Clark asked. HAHAHAHAHAHA

"I am not done!" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA "Well… out of this ship comes a young teen. Alone, scared and hunted by the military. My parents… kind-hearted people who always wanted kids but were not able to. They decide to help him to hide until he gets saved. And he sees the good side in them. How they share their bare food with him, help him to hide despite of the trouble they might get. Or the possibility to be forced to stay in Siberia forever."

"How old are you? The deportation of Moldavians to Siberia was in the late 40s and early 50s…" Clark said.

"Do you want to hear the story or not?" HAHAHAHAHAHA "The alien-teen saw the good hearts in my parents and after they revealed, during their long and extensively conversations, that they want kids, he decided to help them. And so, before he departed back to his home-planet, he gave my parents a pill… medicine… he told my mother to insert in her… ehm… I can't tell that in front of the audience, but you know where you had to go in when you made your boys, don't you?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"I do!" HAHAHAHAHAHA Clark said keeping sure that the boys were not listening to this awkward conversation.

"She did it. And it helped. And so my parents got me, five months after they were able to return to their home-village…" APPLAUSE 'Red-brown-Bodybuilder-Superman' said and made his heroic pose. "…and as soon as we discovered that I have superpowers, we decided to keep this a secret and I start to train to use my powers to help others. We used to live in a small town, in a house that was a bit remote, so I could easily train my powers in the fields. And you were my inspiration. And now I am the most popular superhero of the world." APPLAUSE "Not bad for a farmer boy from Soviet-Union!" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Clark looked on him with a smile. Their grown-up lives on a farm were pretty similar. "Yeah… but how you have powers?"

"Oh, yeah… when I was 14… a little meteor crashed on our farm. It contained a crystal with a message for me. The teenager who crashed into Siberia turned out to be the prince of his planet. And the pill my mother had to… you know…" HAHAHAHAHA "…was not medicine. It was me!" HAHAHAHAHA "Turned out my biological parents were that prince and his cleaning woman." HAHAHA "And to protect me from the possible banishment he sends me to earth to be born here, knowing that I can survive under a yellow sun and absorb and store it's power just like a Kryptonian. We are basically the same and have the same superpowers. But I am an Earthling!" HAHAHAHA

He lifts his hand for a 'high-five'. Clark gave him the high-five. HAHAHA

"You agree to me that Earth is our home! No matter that you are not born here, and I am genetically not from here?"

"Yeah,… you are right…" Clark said. "I see myself more as an Earthling, too." APPLAUSE

"DAAAAAD!" suddenly Jonathan yelled from the kitchen.

Clark turned around to see his boys holding a boy to pull him into the living-room.

"Dad, this boy was send by Timmy Tanner and claims to have powers and he knows who you are." Jordan said, while he holds the boy's legs.

Jonathan was holding Gar by his shoulders. His hands were handcuffed with a kitchen towel and another kitchen towel was stuffed into the boy's mouth. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"Boys, he is one of the Imp's jokes." Clark said. He stood up, took of his glasses and rubbed his eyes. That's how Gar, saw that it was indeed Superman… the boy tried to scream, but the towel in his mouth prevented it. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA "Get him to the barn, to the others." HAHAHAHA

The boys carried Gar out of the house, a second later Lois entered. Her face full of confusion… HAHAHA

"Clark, there is someone who wants to talk to you." Lois said.

Lois stepped away from the door, and a dark blue 'ball' was rolling into the house… HAHAHAHA

"What is that?" HAHAHAHAHA Clark asked when the 'ball', that had the size of one of those inflatable exercise balls, entered.

Suddenly the ball stopped and start to reshape. Slightly shocked Clark was astonished when the 'ball' seemed to live and turned from a ball into a man in a dark-blue suit with white checkered ornaments around his hip, his collar and his arm.

"Hello!" the man said in a strong accent and reached out his hand for a handshake.

LOUD CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

"Hello!" Clark said confused. HAHAHA "And you are…?"

"Lastikman!" the elastic Superhero said. APPLAUSE "Thank you for allowing me and the other elastic superheroes to join your conference." HAHAHAHA

"This is not my conference!" Clark said. HAHAHAHA "But fine… it's in the barn. Please go there and stay inside."

"Sure…" Lastikman said and walked out to yell something to 'the others'. "TO THE BARN!" HAHAHA

Clark and Lois went out on the porch to see around 10 other 'balls' in various colors rolling towards the house and each of them turning into a person in a 'superhero-suit', too. HAHAHAHA APPLAUSE

The boys watched this, too after they brought Gar into the barn and watched now those men passing them. Some stretching out their arms, longer than their actual bodies, to give them a handshake. The boys agreed to each handshake but were absolutely baffed. HAHAHAHAHA

They heard their parents' story about Elongated Man and saw that man sometimes in the news. But seeing this live, the boys were so baffed that they glared on each one like an alien. One of those malleable heroes, the boys had to stop to ask him a question…

"What's the underpants for?" Jordan asked. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"Oh, I originally wanted to become a 'Superman'. But I got elastic powers instead." HAHAHAHA A tall, bodybuilder with a biceps that was a bit too wide for the rest of his body said with a smile. He was the only one of the group who had an underpants in his suit-design. "But I can't complain. Being so elastic is actually a lot of fun." HAHAHA "And I look great as a human, don't I?" HAHAHAHAHA "On the Internet, I am a German Shepherd!" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"Boys, I have a question to you!" their father's new friend said, while the other one went on. "You two, don't seem very happy! What is bothering you?"

"Well… That's complicated!" Jon began. "Ever since our father turned out to be an alien, we go from one freaky situation straight into the next." HAHAHAHA

"Ahh… I understand. You struggle with your identities…" HAHAHAHA

"What?" both boys.

"No no no… I know! It's the thing being normal or being super, right? Just be open for everything and never deny anything! That makes a lot easier when you two will adapt your father's Superhero persona one day." APPLAUSE

Jonathan was about to complain but his father made a gesture to tell him to be polite. HAHAHAHAHA And so Jon just shrugged…

"Nice suit!" Jonathan said politely. HAHAHA

"Thank you." Their fathers new friend said happily. "My mother made it for me!" HAHAHAHAHAHA

"Of course…" Jonathan moaned. HAHAHAHAHA

The Elastic one with the underpants, start to smile. He turned his head around and stretched his neck back to them to face the other guy. "Really, my mom made mine for me, too." HAHAHAHAHA

The two guys start to talk about their suits while walking back into the barn. Hearing this Jordan turned to his brother and lift his little finger for an vow. HAHAHA

"Jon, please promise to me if we ever get suits, we don't allow mom to make them for us." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"Oh, Yeah!" Jon respond. "We never ever wear underpants over it." HAHAHAHAHAHA "Fraternal vow!"

"Fraternal vow!" Jordan confirmed.

HAHAHAHAHAHA APPLAUSE

They went to the barn to look for their guest. Around 20 to 25 Superheroes were chatting about heroics, powers, their suits and their secret identities. Clark and his family stood in the open door watching it…

"This is so weird." Lois said. HAHAHAHA "Why there are only men? Woman can be superheroes, too!" APPLAUSE

"All those years I wanted to keep this away from you. And now we have a whole bunch of Superheroes in the barn." Clark said. HAHAHAHAHA "Okay, let's make the best of it and have some Fun…"

"Oh, great… you are back, Superman!" the black Superman in the brown suit said.

And so, everyone applauded for Clark and his family. It was weird but Clark was honestly very flattered. The only ones not applauding were the still handcuffed Gar and Tag, who knew that nothing of this was actually real.

"Thank you… Thank you…" Clark said with a bright smile. "I can tell you… I really happy to meet you. This is honestly one of the most incredible days of my life…"

"What is that?" A new voice yelled. Cutting of Clark. A loud thunder echoing through the barn.

Everyone turned around to see a man with a weird hairstyle in a purple velvet-suit.

OHHHHHHH

"Mxyzptlk!" Clark said, taking a threatning pose.

"That's him?" Jonathan asked. "That's Miekspapl?" HAHAHAHAHA

"Nice try!" the Imp said sarcastically. HAHAHA "What is this? This was supposed to make you worried." HAHAHA "Instead you celebrate and enjoy it."

"Well, Mxy…" Clark said, putting his hands on his hips, adapting his self-confident Superman-persona, while still Clark Kent. HAHAHA "…looks like your stupid jokes lost their charm." APPLAUSE

Mxy was obviously able to hear his audience. He turned to the 'fourth wall' annoyed and shacked his head.

"Aww… I knew it. I should had turned you into a Musical." HAHAHAHA "That would have really upset you. The boys at least." HAHAHA "First the flop with your younger sons and now that."

"Well… you have to come up with more than an studio audience and two teenagers turned into first graders to fool the Kent's!" Clark said making his Superman-pose again. HAHAHAHA

Lois joined him, to show her support and she ordered the boys to do that pose, too. The boys did. APPLAUSE

"And I wouldn't call it a Flop!" Lois said. "That was such a fun with them when they were younger."

"Fun? Okay,… So, you want Fun? You can have it!" Mxy said, snipping with his fingers.

Jonathan and Jordan realized that something was very wrong and that they were now going to become the Imp's next victims. But before they could even mention what was going on, the boys vanished in a puff of smoke…

Lois let out a horrified scream…

"To say it, like the author would say it now…" Mxy steals my words. "…now gets really weird!"
