This will be the start of the real story. At least once a week i will post a new chapter. The chapters will be little bits of Lauras life, and will not be in chronological order.
English is not my first language so please excuse me if something doesn't sound quite right.
I do not own Superman or any of the characters from DC. My OCs are the only characters i take credit for and this is simply a fanfic.I hope you like it
It was a sunny day and Clark walked hand in hand with his daughter on their way to her first day at school. New class new friends, she ran around all morning, a little bit to excited and a little bit to fast. Clark had to as usual sit her down and talk through everything she can and cannot say about their family, about the flight she had with daddy yesterday or about her legs that can run faster than the train. It was irresistible not to fly around with your daughter, and to not share his view on the world with anyone such as his daughter was a waste of power, he thought. The only problem was when she got flightsickness and puked all over daddy's costume.
Now they walked together, hand in hand on their way to school. He was happy that he had a beautiful daughter that he could spend time with, he was a reporter and to top it all he had the privilege of saving the world. He had accomplished his life goals and was proud of himself. "Daddy, daddy?" He woke up from his thoughts. "Where is the school?"
He understood that they had gone to far, they were by some industrial place. He read the signs, Lexcorp. Of course he would end up at his arch nemesis Lex luthor's stupid powerplants when he got lost. "We have gone to far" Clark pointed out. Laura's face began tearing up."It's okay Laura, we can solve this" "Are you sure daddy?" Laura stuttered. He picked her up in his arms "Yes i'm sure, hold on tight and we will get to the school in just a minute" He looked around to be sure that no one was looking, then he flew up over the city buildings with Laura in his arms. He saw the school was at the other side of the city, no problem. He thought. Then he flew to where the school was as quickly as possible to not be seen. He landed behind the school in the forest. "Promise me, not to tell anyone about this, okay Laura?" "Okay daddy" Then they walked into the school. They were fifteen minutes late.
Everyone had already introduced/presented themself when they came. The teacher looked astonished but took Laura's hand and presented her to the rest of the class. Clark squeezed himself in between all the parents that stood at the back of the classroom. He was the only dad there. His shoulders were quite wide so he didn't really fit in the crowd, the others looked at him angrily. He swallowed nervously. But when he saw his daughter having fun with the rest of the kids he relaxed. He didn't care about what the others thought. He was a proud father of a wonderful little girl and that was the only thing he cared about.
After the introductions it was lunch. The parents of the children could stay if they wanted to and Clark who was quite overprotective choose to do so. He sat by a table with the rest of the parents/mothers. They talked about their kids and everyone thought their child was the best. Clark tried hard to fit in with the rest of the parents but it was harder than he thought and one of the mothers looked weird at him. He could admit that he liked attention some of the time, this time was not one of them. If there would have been more dads here then it would have been more fun, now he just felt alone.
At the other side of the school cafeteria, the kids sat. It was as if everybody already where friends. It's much easier for kids to make friends they can just walk up to someone and ask if they can become friends but if an adult tried doing that people would think they were crazy. But then he heard something he absolutely didn't want to hear. It was his daughter.
"This morning daddy and i got lost."
"You did?" The other kids asked.
"We went to far, but my dad fixed it."
Clark awaited the dreaded answer, he flew me here or something.
"So we made it here"
Clark took a deep breath, his daughter hadn't told her friends about his superpowers, this time.
"Yesterday, my dad flew me to the moon to tell me it wasn't made of cheese"
Oh no, she told them about their trip to the moon last night. what are they going to do now. What if one of the other kids could see through his disguise and find out he was superman or even worse, what if one of their parents found out, his only disguise was a pair of glasses after all, what if that didn't hold up. Then they would find out where he lived and kidnap his daughter. Her classmates would look at her as if she was an alien. They could never live a normal life again after that. A little tear fell down Clark's cheek.
"Your dad can't fly, only superman can fly, is your dad superman?"
"No, his name is Clark."
"Now that's settled, you are lying."
Laura looked at her dad and saw him almost crying. She remembered what her dad said but she didn't really understand why she wasn't allowed to talk about her life when everyone else did it. Everyone told the truth, that's what you were supposed to do and she didn't like lying. But maybe just this time she have to lie, just to make her dad happy.
"It's true, i lied. No one can fly, absolutely no one, and not my dad"
With that, the discussion was over and Clark could relax again. On their way home Clark tried talking with his daughter.
"You know, the stuff that you and i can do, not everyone can do. They will get jealous if you talk about it. And you wouldn't want to brag, would you?"
"You're right daddy, i will not brag more"
He hoped this would be their last conversation about this in a while.
