Atticus carried Patch in his arms as he soon went home with Clark. "Patch, welcome to your new home." he then smiled to the puppy.
"This is so amazing." Patch smiled before feeling himself becoming super powerful all of a sudden.
Atticus smiled back as they came inside.
"I just know this is going to be a great time for everyone." Clark told Atticus as Patch got settled in before changing.
"It sure is." Patch smiled as he jumped in the air before playfully tackling Clark.
Atticus looked surprised, but then smiled to that.
"Hey!" Clark laughed.
"Hey, I just took down Superman!" Patch smiled before looking confused. "But how?" He then wondered.
"Hmm... That's a good question," Atticus said. "I guess you had a growth spurt in your muscles."
"Yeah, but all of sudden?" Patch asked.
Atticus gave an innocent shrug.
"Mind getting off me now?" Clark asked Patch with a chuckle.
"Aww... Okay..." Patch replied as he got off. "I'm a little hungry anyway."
"Yeah, me too," Atticus said. "Adventures always work up my appetite."
"Alright, then I'll get the food ready." Clark said.
"Sounds good," Atticus smiled. "Patch, you wanna play outside, or maybe watch TV while we wait?"
"Watch TV, I think Thunderbolt is on." Patch smiled back.
"All right!" Atticus smiled as he took Patch to the living room and turned on the TV for them both to watch.
Soon enough, Patch's favorite TV show was shown to be on so they decided to watch it together. Atticus smiled as he hugged Patch as they settled in and watched TV together as Clark made them something to eat. After a short time, Clark finished making the food.
"What's for dinner, Dad?" Atticus smiled.
"One of your favorites." Clark smiled back.
"Pizza?" Atticus smiled back.
"Of course!" Clark smiled.
Atticus smiled back as this was a great birthday after all and he had fun with his pet as he was going to be the good boy he had always been from then on with Clark as his adoptive father.
