Chapter Six
"I wonder how much longer Lois and Clark will be gone," said Jonathan.
"Well, the light is back on in the loft. I think they are out there."
"Shall we go see?"
"Yes."
Jonathan and Martha made their way out to the barn.
"Clark? Lois? Are you in here?"
"Yeah, Mom. We're up here."
Jonathan and Martha made their way up to the loft. Neither was sure what they would find. However, when they reached the top of the steps, they were surprised to Lois and Clark sitting on the couch together.
"Well, what happened at the Fortress?"
"You will be happy to learn that according to Jor-El, I have now got all of my Kryptonian abilities."
Martha, who had been taking a sip of the bottled water she had with her, nearly choked.
"You learned how to fly?"
Clark looked at Lois and grinned.
"Oh, boy, did I!"
Jonathan began to get nervous.
"Um, son, I don't think we need the details."
Clark burst out laughing.
"It's nothing like that, Dad. I promise."
"Oh kay. I can honestly say, I am officially confused," said Martha.
"Let's just say I, I mean we, found out more than we were after."
"Care to elaborate, son?"
"Do you remember the bracelet that the Indian girl gave me?"
"Yes. According to you, she said the bracelet rightfully belonged to your soul mate, or something like that."
"You will never guess who that is."
"Who?"
Clark looked at Lois. She grinned. She glanced down at her right wrist, where the bracelet was.
"Wait a minute. You mean, Lois is…"
"Yeah. She helped me out a lot. It is because of her that I finally learned how to fly. Jor-El said that through Lois, I would be able to realize my destiny. He said that it was not an accident that she was the one to find me that day in the cornfield. He said it was fated destiny. I was supposed to meet her. We have both been on a path toward each other all this time, and we did not realize it."
"So, what are you going to do now, Clark?"
"To be honest, Mom. I do not know. All I know, is now I can actually be happy. I know now, that I am not destined to be alone. I can stop worrying about that. Now, all I have to worry about is when and how to begin fulfilling my destiny."
"Do you have any idea what that is, son?"
"All I know is I was sent here to be the savior of mankind. Makes me sound as if I am supposed to be some kind of god, doesn't it?"
"Well, Clark, I guess, in a way, Kryptonians are kind of like gods. However, I know that you will never let yourself think you are better than us lowly humans." Martha grinned at Clark.
"Aw, Mom. You know that I think of myself equal to you 'lowly humans,' no matter how different I am."
"Yeah. I know."
The quartet talked long into the night. Finally, Jonathan and Martha said good night, and went to bed. Lois and Clark stayed in the loft. It was so warm outside, they did not have to worry about Lois being cold.
