Rebirth


AN: FOR ONE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND NINETY FIVE DAYS I HAVE SLUMBERED! Yes I did actually count how long it's been since Man of Tomorrow. And looking back…..yeah it's fine but I think I can do better now that I actually know what RWBY's plotline is. Same reason my Spidey/RWBY fics are much more well put together.

This idea is one I shortly after finishing the last chapter for Man of Tomorrow. While I think Superman and his story is both amazing and inspirational, I think the premise behind this one is much more stronger and fits in better for the world of RWBY.

Now I've probably said this before, but I'll say it again. I love Superman, I love him the same way I love Spidey. While I have read nowhere near as many comics for superman as I have Spider-Man, I'm still a big fan of big blue. And I'm also a big fan of Jon…ok Jon before Bendis got a hold of him. Should clarify that.

But anyway, I know the character, I know what's gonna happen in this story, and I can't wait! So lets get on with it!


Nothing ever ends.

From the start of the Big Bang which gave birth to the Universe, that moment of beginning, of life's first steps they had been marching onward since. And while the universe takes it steps forward on the sands of reality, there's other footprints in the sand beside them, some starting only little from the path while others wander off in completely different direction. But there are similarities with each of them, Earth was not the only Earth across this multiverse.

While some where just beginning others had been going on for thousands upon thousands of years. There are constants and variables to each, one such one is a singular man.

Kal-El of Krypton, Clark Kent of Kansas, Superman of Earth. He is a constant, for even with the destruction of his world, his earth, his universe, he remains. But not alone, by his side his wife, Lois Lane, the one true love of his life which also remains a constant. The variable however, is the small bundle she holds in her arms as she looks up to the shattered moon above. Jon Samuel Kent, not even a week old yet cooed as he reached up to the sky with his small hands.

Beside her at the ground was a small whimper, looking down beside her, a pure white Labrador sat readily wit a red cape wrapped around the back of his collar, she would pet him on the head to assure the canine, but the thought of letting go of Jon was one she didn't particularly like at the moment.

This wasn't their world, this wasn't their Earth. This wasn't even Earth period.

"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore." Lois said under her breath. She had seen many amazing things in her time, but a shattered moon in the sky was thankfully never one of them. A large hand rested on her shoulder, the man beside her stood firm like a mountain, but had a gentle look in other worldly blue eyes that Lois looked into.

He gave her a reassuring smile that eased her worries, "Couldn't resist could you?" he asked mirthfully.

She smirked, "No. I couldn't." she said, looking back down at Jonathan Samuel Kent. He let out a small whine at the cold air touching his face, "We need to find somewhere to rest up." she said, pulling her baby in closer to try and keep him comfortable. Superman's eyes narrowed slightly as they looked to the horizon, his gaze going through the forest and it's creatures, about ten miles away he saw a small house. His vision made the walls lose their opacity and he looked inside for any owners but found it abandoned.

"There's a small house ten miles away." he said before picking up his wife and son in his arms. Son. that word still sounded so surreal to think. Taking off from the ground, the family shot through the air above the forest below them with their faithful dog Krypto flying behind them, going slow enough so that the wind wouldn't hurt Lois or Jon. Jonathan. Pa would love that. he thought sadly. His world was gone, his mother and father, friends and colleagues, all gone. The past year, he and Lois were trapped outside of their time and space, captured by a being who was gathering worlds for a collection.

He never anticipated is collection banding together to fight for their freedom. Just as Clark never thought Branic, or some form of him, would help he, Lois, and Jon find a new home. Once again the last survivor of a dead world, but this time at least he wasn't alone.

Dropping in front of the two story house, he set Lois and Jon down before walking up to the door and opening it, the door nearly fell off without him using any of his reserved strength. He blew a puff of air that made the dust inside the abandoned home expel out, he heard Lois sneeze behind him and he slightly winced, "Sorry." he apologized as his wife walked up beside him and entered the house.

"If he sneezes me into the stratosphere, it's on you." Lois joked as she lifted their son up. Clark looked down at him and smiled, Jon's eyes weren't as brightly blue as his, but they still were his. His wife used a finger to brush some hair aside on Jon's head, "So now what do we do?" she asked as she entered the home's living room, sitting down on a couch with Krypto at her feet as Clark approached the fire place, his bright red cape pooled on the floor slightly as he knelt down and took some logs off the rack and put them inside the pit.

Once in, his eyes glowed red and a thin red beam shot out and ignited the base of the wood. "First and foremost is you and Jon." he began as he turned to them.

Lois gave him a soft smile, "Ok obviously. But after that? What kind of Earth is this?" she asked as she looked around the room. It was similar if not exact to the types of homes they had back on their world. The furniture was midwestern, the building itself resembled a homestead house, in fact the only thing missing was a TV.

Clark pursed his lips together, "From what my hearing has picked up there's civilization, a city by the sound of it, to the West. I'll fly out there tomorrow and see what the situation is. But for now we need to-" he stopped mid sentence.

"Oh god they're coming!"

"My baby! Where's my baby!"

"Everyone quick! Get to the shelter!"

"Clark?" Lois asked with concern as she saw the look of worry on his face. She had known him long enough to recognize that look, "What is it, what's wrong?" she asked.

He looked to the East, "Another settlement, they're being attacked by-" his Xray and telescopic vision zoomed through a mountain to a city under construction. People, humans and others who had….animalistic features, were being attacked by what could only be described as "-monsters." he said with a frown. They were black as the night sky with bone like protrusions and claws, fangs, they resembled a variety of animals such as wolves, bears, even scorpions that were the size of a Sherman tank.

"Go." Clark turned to his wife, the reporter giving him a firm but resolute look.

"Lois, you and Jon-" he began.

"Are safe here, those people need your help." she replied before he could finish. He knew she was right, his hearing would have picked up any of those creatures around here when they first arrived. But leaving his family now? She saw his concern and budged their dog, "I think Krypto will keep us safe." the dog barking in affirmation.

His look at her was solemn, "I'm sorry." he apologized.

She stood from the couch and approached her husband, Lois smiling as her hand cupped his cheek, "Don't be, you're just being you." she said before kissing him. She pulled away and Clark's doubt suddenly vanished, he nodded and in a blur he was out the door of the house and up into the sky, flying towards the screams for help. The settlement was in sight now, the people were all funneling into a tunnel network underground for shelter.

Ok smart. Gives me room to take care of these creatures. he thought as he dove straight for the ground in front of the entrance to the tunnel that was locked tight behind a set of locked steel doors. He tuned his body up and landed feet first in a crouch, rising up the red 'S' shield on his chest was visible by the bright yellow in the darkness. The horde of creatures all stopped a few feet away from him. "If you are capable of understanding, then I ask that you leave now." he ordered the creatures loudly. His eyes shifting through the spectrum to try and see what these creatures were exactly.

However what he didn't see is what drew his attention, one of the spectrums he could see was what his more scientific associates referred to as Ecto-Vision. He could see the life force of a living, sentient being. And none of these creatures had it, as though they seemed to know what he learned, a wolf creature charged forward and slashed at the man of steel, it's claws breaking on contact, "Alright then." he said before punching through the creature, it's body disappearing into black ashes from dying.

Superman shot forth, faster then a strike of lightning, tearing through the horde before him until it was nothing. Floating up between the buildings he saw bird like breatures flying overhead which were gone the second his red eyes looked at them, "Help me! Someone help me!" he heard a shriek that immediately got his attention. Through the building he saw a young man running at full speed away from a pack of the beasts.

The wall of the building beside them exploded with Superman killing two of the creatures with a single swipe of his arm. Backhanding the others away, the young man stumbled and turned around to see the man who saved him, "Are you alright son?" he asked as he landed on the ground and knelt before him.

The young man was flabbergasted, "I-I-I don't-" he tried to say before seemingly coming to his senses, "The shelter! I need to get to the shelter!" he realized.

Clark raised a calming hand, "Aright, I'll get you there. Don't worry." he assured as he stood and offered the young man his hand. He took it and was lifted up onto his feet like he was a child. Within the blink of an eye they were at the entrance of shelter, the man's hand slapped the door before speaking loudly, "Excuse me! There's more people out here! Those monsters are clear for now! I'm going to search for other survivors!" he said, watching with his X-Ray vision as the people with guns on the other side of the door hopped over cover, one of them was stopped by an official, saying that it was too dangerous with the Grimm out there. Grimm, alright that's what those creatures are. he surmised.

The young man banged on the doors as well, "He's telling the truth! He's a huntsmen! He saved me from some Beowolves! Open up!" he shouted at the top of his lungs. The steel doors unlocked and were pulled apart as a man rushed out and grabbed the young man. A father and son, Clark felt sympathy swell in his chest.

The man looked at him with awe, "We-we didn't think anyone would get here so fast, we haven't reached anyone on the distress call." he explained.

"I was in the area and I saw what was happening, tell me, is there a way to evacuate you and your people out of here?" he asked.

The man shook his head before looking back over his shoulder, "No, the tunnel to Vale isn't finished. And it'd take us days to get there anyway, by then the Grimm might break down these doors." he said desperately. Clark frowned at the situation, it was their Alamo, their last line to hold off from these monsters, meaning he needed to clear the city of these Grimm. Meaning leaving Lois and Jon for longer…..with these things out there.

"I'll clear the city and surrounding area. But to be safe get back inside and wait a few hours before opening back up if I don't come back." he stated before turning around and shooting off in a red and blue blur, much to the father and son's surprise. Clark flew up high in the air, overlooking the settlement and scanning all the monsters he could pick up. There were easily over two hundred, so he wasted no rime flying into the nearest horde and tearing through them with his fists, his heat vision bursting out of his eyes and frying the crowd of creatures as he made his way through them.

Within a few minutes he had easily taken out two hundred of these creatures, an estimated third of their numbers. By the time an half hour mark was up, the settlement was clear of these monsters. By an hour, the surrounding area for ten miles was void of these creatures. Returning to the steel doors, he knocked twice, denting the metal as he did before taking off into the sky and back towards the house which Lois and Jon were hiding in.


The next day, with old clothes they had found in the house, Clark few him and his family to the settlement's borders and walked the rest of the way. Upon reaching the settlement, Lois couldn't help but stare at some of the people, "Smallville…..you see the guy with dog ears too right?" she asked quietly as they walked the streets of the disheveled city, beside her, Clark wore a old flannel shirt and work pants, there weren't any glasses that he could wear to complete his disguise but given that only a few people might have gotten a good look at him? He wasn't entirely concerned.

"Yes I do." he said as he listened in on a few things around them as they walked around crowds of people. "They're called Faunus, they're basically human but with animal features." he explained quietly as not to draw attention. Walking through the settlement, Lois looked up at the skyscrapers, some letters had fallen off but they were still thankfully English. As she looked up she saw what she could only describe as an airship fly overhead, the turbines on the side turning downward to help lower itself.

She and Clark walked towards the direction it was landing and saw a makeshift relief station where a few dozen people were being treated for injuries. Armed guardsmen wearing advanced armor walked around taking statements from people, Clark could overhear a few words, flying, man, strong, fast, black hair, cape, but nothing specific.

"Excuse me, Sir? Madam?" the couple turned to one of the guardsmen with a notebook in hand, "Could I spare you a moment of your time? We're trying to find out what exactly happened here." the guard, a young woman, asked. Lois felt her grasp around Jon tighten as he cooed, they had gone over what Clark could discover last night after he got back but it wasn't much.

"Sure, sorry we're just…..still reeling." She replied, looking down at Jon, it wasn't a complete lie. The past 24 hours had been a lot to take in.

The guard nodded her head, her helmet obstructed her face down to the bridge of her nose so she couldn't see her expression, "Of course. Mount Glenn getting hit with a horde of Grimm that size is something no one expected." she said sympathetically.

Clark laid a hand on his wife's shoulder and pulled her close, "Do you know what's going to happen next?" he asked.

The guard rubbed her chin, "It's too soon to tell, well have a better idea in a few days but I'd guess that we'll reinforce while they rebuild, the city has been in the worlds for decades, can't imagine they'll abandon it for a Grimm attack. Even one this scale." she reasoned before plling out a notepad. "Ok so, can either of you tell me what happened?" she asked.

Clark does most of the talking, using pieces that he's gathered from listening to other conversations and changing some details, mistaking what time the Grimm appeared, where they were, small things that wouldn't stand out. "Ok, we also had report of a Huntsman appear? Red cape? Some crest on his chest?" she asked.

Clark and Lois looked at one another, Clark swore he saw Lois smirk before she answered, "I didn't see anything, I was too busy with this one." she said, cradling Jon who garbled in response, the guard gave the infant a soft look before jolting it down.

"Are there many….huntsmen in the area?" Clark asked, trying not to sound too inquiring.

"That's what we're checking now, a few teams arrived this morning but none of them fit the description." the guard said as she put her notebook away. "Thank you both for your time, the next transport that's heading to Vale arriving in a hour. If you want to leave I suggest you get on it." she said before walking away. Clark and Lois looked at each other before walking over to a bench to sit down on.

"Ok so….Kingdoms? Do you think they mean like actual Castles or…" Lois trailed off as Clark reached over and held his son's head. She smiled before handing him to her husband gently, Jonathan cooed happily when he saw his father and it brought a smile to the Kryptonian's face. "….we need to get our bearings." she decided.

"Agreed." Clark replied as he looked around, he had made sure that this settlement, Mount Glenn, was safe for the time being, but there was so much more he could do as Superman…but his family came first. Once they were safe and settled in, then he could worry about what was next. "Vale sounds like a good place to start." he assumed with a hopeful smile.


Four Years Later


"Look! Up in the sky!"

"It's a bird!"

"It's an airship!"

"No! It's….what the hell is that?"

Clark couldn't help but chuckle as he heard the familiar exclamations from the crowd of people below him as he pushed up a shipping container of Fire dust that had careened off a semi truck that was on the highway in the Kingdom of Vale over his head. It had been four years since his family was relocated to this world and it had it's fair share of wonders. Prime example, Dust, the contents of the container that he was flying up and gently setting down on the bed of the semi truck that had been disconnected.

Dust was a natural resource of the planet which cleanly powered the four Kingdoms of the planet as well as the various towns and settlements spread throughout the world. Clark found it fascinating. As it seemed to contain magical properties as it was capable of causing him a degree of harm, but it also instantly nullified a problem his Earth had with pollution made by power.

As well he had also learned that the planet they were on wasn't Earth at all, but instead a planet called Remnant. From what Clark could gather from his space exploration it was the only planet in the entire sector of space, Hal Jordan had shown him where exactly his jurisdiction was, with life on it. In fact the Geography of the planet was vastly different from that of Earth.

The last four years where a vast difference from how he operated on Earth, primarily because of Jon in his and Lois' lives now. He could never stop helping people of course, but he knew that he couldn't be as out in the open as he used to be. Instead these past four years he had simply reacted, solved the problem, and returned home. He wished he could do more, in fact he wanted to do more, but there was a risk to that, before when he first debuted on Earth there was no risk to him. But now he had his family to consider.

People still saw him of course, Scrolls, this world's cell phones, still could take pictures, but all they captured were blurs of red and blue. In fact there wasn't a single clear picture of Superman someone has captured, and he took a little pride in that. So for the time being, Superman was more akin to an urban myth then a figure like he was back home.

Flying up high, he looked down and saw that the massive highway accident was no under control with, another difference was that instead of a number of cities spread across the planet there were only four major capitals on Remnant in the forms of kingdoms. Atlas, Minstrel, Vale, and Vaccuo. He had visited each one by now and each one was incredible in it's own way, Minstrel was built atop a cliffside that connected two mountains together, Atlas was a literal floating city in the sky, Vaccuo was an oasis in the desert, and Vale was…..actually the most familiar to him.

There were also Huntsmen and Huntresses, they were similar to the heroes of his own Earth in that they decided to take a stand and fight for people who can't defend themselves against the creatures of Grimm. However unlike a majority of heroes, they were trained at academies in each Kingdom, the one in Vale was called Beacon, which Clark could see in the distance from his place in the sky over Vale in the clouds.

What brought his attention to the school was the high pitched whine he had been picking up from it all day. He knew what this was, it was an invitation, the four months since his arrival and debut to the public was a far cry from what it was back on earth. Where he had been met with fear and skepticism from the government, the people, and everyone else besides Lois, here he was met with wonder and amazement. Not that he didn't get that back home too, but it took a little work for things to get to there back on Earth.

The news outlets of the world quickly spread word of the savior of Mount Glenn, and the more appearances across the globe he made to deal with other disasters when he wasn't helping Lois care for Jon, the more popular he became. So it was only eventual that someone would try and contact him.

His telescopic vision zoomed in on the school towards the source of the signal, near the tallest tower of the school, which was the closest thing to resemble a traditional castle, was a white haired man standing on a balcony with a small pocket watch in his hand. This is oddly similar to Lex. he thought skeptically as he flew towards the source of the signal.

Thankfully there was no Lex Luthor on this planet. Or Clark Kent, or Lois Lane, or Jimmy Olsen…..as much as he wished that wasn't the case.

As he approached the balcony from above, he called out, "Excuse me." the white haired man with his cane looked up, "If your trying to get in touch with me then there's probably easier ways." he said in a friendly manner.

The man smiled as he closed the pocket watch, the whining noise stopped, "I suppose there are, but I don't think a press conference inviting you to meet would have been subtle." he replied as Superman landed inf front of him. The man's white hair as a proverbial mess, but he was well put together in every other way, a traditional three piece suit with a matching black vest and dark green ascot around his neck, the only other thing askew were the rims of his glasses. "I'm Professor Ozpin, forgive me for the roundabout way of contacting you." he said as he offered his hand.

Superman shook it, "Superman, and it's perfectly fine. I understand I'm not the most easy to reach out to right now Headmaster." he said as he shook the man's hand. Lois and the Daily Planet by extension were the easiest ways to reach him, but that clearly wasn't still the case here.

Ozpin quirked a brow, "You know who I am?"

"I try to be well informed." Superman replied as Ozpin gestured to the doors behind him, Superman nodded and followed the headmaster inside the tower to what he presumed was his office. "I imagine that you're a little uneasy about me." he assumed understandingly.

Ozpin walked behind his desk and took a seat, "Well some do, the City council of Vale have questions, as do I obviously. But I think that if you were here to cause us harm, then you'd have done it already. Instead for the past few months you've been spotted around the world helping in everything from random muggings to natural disasters." he pointed out. Clark felt a small sense of relief, this wasn't a Lex Luthor situation, Lex was open about his distain for the Man of tomorrow and readily pointed to him as a conqueror or false savior when all he was is a man trying to help.

"I'm just here to help." Superman replied plainly and honestly.

Ozpin observed him, "That may be, but you have to understand that it's very strange how someone with your abilities, none of which seem to be related through a semblance or Aura, simply appears one day during a disaster." he reasoned.

Superman couldn't argue that, the superhuman abilities that Huntsmen and Huntresses could preform here were called semblances, which in turn was a manifestation of their Aura, a powered version of a being's soul. However it wasn't so diverse as his set of powers, "I can understand the suspicion, but I felt that my actions would speak louder then words." he said, recalling how when he first revealed himself to the public on Earth, it was his repeated actions of good that spoke louder then his words when it came to proving his motivation.

"Quite. And you've left quite the impression." Ozpin replied with a small chuckle. Every news outlet on Remnant was on a constant cycle about Superman, "In fact I contacted you because I wanted to offer you an opportunity." he said, Superman's row raising in interest. "As the headmaster of Vale's Huntsmen and Huntress Academy, it is part of my job to look out for not only the safety of my students, but the Kingdoms as a whole." he explained. "So I hope you don't take offense when I say that when I first heard of you, I thought you might be dangerous." he explained.

Clark nodded, "At first?"

Ozpin folded his hands together, "A few weeks ago, you saved a young woman that was in danger. I've known her since she was a student here and…..losing her would have been devastating…..not just for me." Clark's memory recalled it, it had to be the woman he was referring to because of how much it stood out against everything else he had been doing. He had come across her by pure coincidence, she didn't even call out for help as she fought hordes of Grimm. But he nevertheless swooped down and took her miles away to the closest settlement as fast as he could before she passed out from her injuries and exhaustion.

"Is she ok?" Superman asked with concern.

Ozpin smiled fondly at the man of steel, "Yes, she's expected to recover. And it's thanks to you. Who had nothing at all to gain from her survival." he reasoned. Clark pursed his lips together at what his words implied but stayed silent, "Your presence here is a mystery, but you've become a beacon for people across the world. And as I'm sure you're aware, the enemy, the creatures of Grimm, are attracted by negative emotions." he added.

Clark nodded, he had spent months trying to figure out exactly how Grimm could be attracted to emotional states of beings. But he hadn't made much progress with it, both the world and his family were his priority. Not to mention the technology that the fortress of Solitude was more advanced then what he could reasonably access. "You want me to work at bringing hope to people. That way the Grimm won't be as bold." he reasoned.

Ozpin nodded, "Precisely. Allow me to help support you, and with time hopefully the other Kingdoms will follow suite." he reasoned.

Clark had to admit, it was a tempting offer, despite being here for years now, he was still reactionary. Unlike Earth, communication wasn't as far reaching here, not all settlements could get support of Huntresses or Huntsmen, and for every settlement saved another was attacked. Despite his powers he was still just one man, he couldn't be everywhere. But if there was some sort of system set up to make him more effective? Then it could save more people in the long run, "It's a interesting offer, but I hope you understand that I'll need some time to consider it." he said carefuly.

Ozpin nodded in understanding, "Of course, I just ask that you consider it." he replied evenly.


"So what does A stand for?" Lois asked in a sweet voice as she held up a card with the letter written on it before her four year old son who was sitting with Krypto's head in his lap. The small island of Patch proved to be the perfect place for raising a child, getting set up there in the first place however had taken a little work with both her and her husband basically destitute, but after Clark forged new identities for the three of them it had become much easier to get started. Yes the loan they had on the Farm was big, but each year Clark had harvested enough crops to satisfy the bank as well as have enough left over for them. And that was without her paycheck as a local reporter on the Daily Beat, a smalltown newspaper if she ever did work at one, adding in.

"Apple!" Jon proudly exclaimed as he hugged Krypto's head.

Lois felt her heartstrings pull, "Good! Now what about B?" she asked, sliding another card in front of A. while most kids in preschool didn't know how to spell yet, Lois thought that it might be better for Jon to learn some of the basics before the school system dove into it.

"Barn?" he replied, it sounding more like a question to himself before nodding, "Yes! Barn." he answered more affirmatively.

I really hope you take after your dad with your spelling kiddo. she thought as she flipped to the next card. "Good honey, and C?"

"Daddy!" he said with such enthusiasm that Lois briefly thought of saying yes just so she wouldn't crush her boy's heart, "Daddy! Daddy!" he cheered until Lois heard the front door behind her close. Looking over her shoulder she saw her husband enter with a bag under his arms and a large grin on his face at the sight of his son.

"Hey little man!' Clark said joyfully as he walked over and scooped his son up into his arms. His small arms wrap around his father's neck and embrace him, Clark smiles at the warmth it brings to him in his chest. Looking at Lois he sees the card in her hand, "Jon, what letter are you on?" he asked.

"C! For Cactus!" he says proudly.

Lois smiles appreciatively, "I was expecting cup but ok." she accepted.

Clark's lips tugged into a smirk, "I thought you said it starts with a 'k'?" he asked teasingly. Lois elbows his side from one of the probably hundreds of typos she's made over the years.

"Don't listen to him Jon. Your daddy is wrong, it's spelled with a C. And I never used it with K." she refuted. Jon giggles as Clark sets him down beside Krypto who licks the four year old. "Alright slugger, break time." she says, Jon smiles wide and walks over to some of his toys on the ground and begins to play with them as she and Clark walk into the other room.

He tells her everything about Ozpin, "I think he's hiding something." Clark finishes with, "But I don't think he's lying."

Lois leans on the kitchen counter with her arms crossed, "For sure he is." she replied, "But the question is what?" she asked.

Clark shook his head, "I'm not sure. I scanned the school and there wasn't anything out of the ordinary." he said, there was no led to block his X-ray vision so he was all but allowed full access to the building. "He said that he deduced I could pick up higher frequencies by my activity but that seems to be all he knows about me." he said.

Lois's face scrunched up, Clark smiled softly at her 'thinking face', one he had seen countless times through the years. "Well…..you stepping into the public wouldn't be too bad now….I mean Jon's in preschool now. He doesn't need us both around at all times." she reasoned before giving him a knowing look. "And it would let you get back to doing what you do best." she added.

Clark's head bowed and Lois stepped into him, wrapping her arms around his neck and embracing him, "These people are going to freak out when you say you're an alien." she said in mild amusement.

"Maybe they won't?" he poised hopefully.


One Year Later


People did in fact, freak out.

But not in a bad way. It leads to wonder and amazement across Remnant, obviously some people are skeptical about it, some pose theories that he's a genetic experiment, others that he's secret agent of a illuminati like cult. But it makes people look up in the sky in hope, and for that Clark is more then happy to come out to the public once again. However this time he plays his cards a little more close to his chest, for example he doesn't list off the abilities that he has or what the ones people have deduced he has can do.

He also keeps the truth behind his and family's arrival to Remnant a secret as that would not only make it seem more far fetched about his origin, but would take hours upon hours of explanation as to who was who, what Earth was and so on and so forth. Lois did offer to write a book about it but Clark shoots her down, not wanting to draw more attention to her.

"Goldie! Get the mouse!" Jon said to the family cat encouragingly. The Kent family were sitting on a blanket in a field, above them stood an a lone, old tree that provided the perfect shade on the hilltop, with their farmhouse and barn off in the distance. Goldie, a rescue that Lois had found one day on their property when he was helping Clark and Jon plant seeds, was a orange tabby cat that was lazy as a rock. But they loved her all the same, Krypto even seemed to get along with her.

Lois looked over at her son and to where he was looking and sure enough a field mouse was sitting atop a stone a few feet away. Clark reached into the picnic basket he brought with them from the farm, "Jon, Goldie is tired. Let her rest." he said in a firm but amused voice. His son looked at him and nodded, crawling back across the picnic blanket to get a bag of chip from the basket. "So, how is Kindergarten Jon?" he asked.

"It's loud and fun! The teacher, Mister Oum, taught us about the different shades of color yesterday! Did you know that you can get purple from mixing red and blue? That's so cool!" he told his father with excitement, Lois looking down at her son with a smile as she petted Goldie behind the ears, the cat purring in her hand.

Clark smiled, "It's good that you like learning." he replied as he ruffled his son's black hair.

"I like reading more then listening." Jon admitted absentmindedly as he took a chip from the bag and ate it. "But I like listening to Mister Oum." he added as he took another chip. Before he could take a bite however he saw Goldie get up and instantly lower, "Mom! Dad!" he whispered, Clark and Lois looked at each other and smiled as they watched Goldie get ready to pounce.

The cat's tail curled and it's hips shoot before leaping from the blanket to the rock where the mouse was…and fell short. Lois snorted as the mouse took off Goldie chasing after it, "Goldie come back!" Jon said as he got up and ran after the cat.

"She gets an A for effort." Lois said as she took a drink of her water.

Clark chuckled as he stood up, "I got her." he decided as he stood up and began walking after Jon and the cat. The five year old ran as fast as his legs could carr him after the family feline, Goldie, being a cat, had a good ten feet away on him. As Goldie ran into a small clearing of shorter grass after the mouse however, a shrill cry from the sky was the only warning before a shape swooped down and picked the Cat up in it's talons and snatched it up into the sky.

"No!" Jon cried out in horror, Clark felt a chill run though him at the sound of his son's cry. He looked up and frowned at the sight of the hawk that had swooped down and plucked Goldie from the ground.

She's hurt but nothing serious, I can get her in a second, faster then Jon can- Clark thought.

"Give her back!" Jon shouted, his blue eyes turning a bright red before two red beams of heat shot out in a blast of light! The beams engulfed the bird and cat!

"Jon!" Lois and Clark called out as he zoomed beside his son in an instant as the red beams from his eyes died down, red smoke emanating from them as Lois stood up and ran towards them both in a panic.

"D-Dad I-" he began in shock before a thud hit the ground next to them, Clark looked over and grimaced, the charred and sill burning remains of both Goldie and the Bird were in a heap. Jon covered his mouth in horror, tears welling in his eyes as his mother slid down beside him and wrapped him in a hug.

"It's ok baby, it's ok." she told him, whatever concern for her cat evaporated by her worry for her son. Clark embraced him as well as he buried his head into their shoulders.

That was the day they buried the family cat beneath the tree they picnicked at with a small wooden cross.

That was the day Clark and Lois told his son the truth about him.

That was the day Jon Samuel Kent discovered he had powers.

And that was the day Jon locked his powers deep inside him out of fear.


AN: It's a little short but this seems like a good place to end the story so far, I have a lot more planned and I still need to draft out the rest of the first volume but I'm really excited to get on with this fic! Now obviously, there's gonna be some changes this time around, I mean having Superman in the world is gonna make that happen. Some of them small, others….not so much. But with Volume 8 halfway done I think I'm safe to change up a couple things. And if not? Then hey, it gives me a challenge to write around!

Ok so if anyone is confused as to how Clark, Lois, and Jon wound up on Remnant, I'll try my best to explain.

During the event known as Convergence, Clark and Lois were taken from their universe by a new villain that was collecting different universes. Like Injustice, Flashpoint, Kingdom Come, etc. and that included Lois and Clark, during this time…..well one thing led to another and Jon was conceived. And was delivered by Thomas Wayne batman in the Batcave. At the end of the event, a form of Braniac found out they needed to fix everything by making sure the first Crisis happened, Clark and Lois went with him, and in turn he put them in the New 52 world where there was another version of them there but that's a whole other thing, and instead went to Remnant instead.

TLDR; They went to Remnant instead of the New 52.

Had to do some research to make sure that's what happened, oddly enough they have Krypto in Rebirth despite the fact they didn't bring him with them. So he's kinda just here without explanation.

Now as for Jon's powers being locked away, this actually happened to his father, the reason that Superman for the longest time could only leap tall buildings in a single bound, or not be strong enough to do certain feats, is because he was scared of his powers and put a mental block on them. This actually gets explored really well in Superman Smashes the KKK, he thinks he is, and wants to be, human so he doesn't use his more Alien powers. Same thing with Jon here, his first time using his powers he freaks out and vaporizes the family cat and goes NOPE to that.

Now with explanations out of the way I want to thank you all for reading! Please leave a review, it is literally fuel for writing, and…thank you Monty. Who unfortunately isn't with us today.

RWBY is reaching it's 100th episode this weekend and its bittersweet, Monty Oum made such a unique, fun, and beautiful world with RWBY and it's such a shame that he didn't get to see how successful it's become. We miss you Monty, but we'll keep moving forward.
