So this is my first published attempt at a Smallville fanfic. I hope you enjoy and tell me if you want me to continue. I promise this alternate universe gets interesting.
Kal felt like he was falling through not only space but time. Everything was a blur of dancing lights out in the depths of space as he sped across the universe in the cocoon of energy surrounding him. He was unsure of his destination. All he knew was that his home had been destroyed. An entire planet exploding into a thousand bits, and he, Kal of the house of El was the only survivor.
As he flew, he felt the sadness grip over his heart. His father, Jur-El and his mother, Lara both blow into dust. And his poor sweet Roe, the one with whom he was bound to, dead.
So he cried not only for them or for the entire planet but also for himself and the loneliness inside him.
He was floating out there for what seemed like an eternity before he felt himself being pulled toward something. Opening his eyes, he saw a blue planet just breaking over the red planet's horizon. It was calling to him. Then as he cleared the red planet, he felt the warmth of this system's sun pour over him, giving him a strengthened feeling. Turning his attention back to the planet, he saw as he zoomed toward the darkened half the tiny dots of light as though the stars had been placed on the ground rather than in the sky, glinting up at him. This would be where his new life would begin. This small blue planet, third from its sun, would one day be called his home.

"Ladies and Gentleman, Senator Jonathan Kent!" the announcer's voice buzzed through the loud speakers and the crowd began to roar.
Martha Kent sat on the sidelines cheering for her husband as he made yet another speech. She allowed her mind to drift for she knew it by heart, after all, she'd written it.
No matter where she was or what the circumstance, her mind always seemed to go to the same subject: children. She desperately wanted a child, since she could bare non of her own, and soon they were to adopt one. The excitement filled her. Kara. That was her name. She was a bright 13 year old girl with blond hair and blue eyes.
Martha could barely hold in her glee at becoming a mother, something she felt was a calling.
"My wife, Martha and I," Jonathan had reached the part of the speech where she needed to come up on stage. She stood beside her husband starring among the many camera flashes, smiling as she took his hand, "would like to announce that we will be adopting a young girl. She's 13 and her name is Kara."
The media went into a frenzy as a mob of questions flew at the couple.
"Jonathan," Martha leaned to her husband's ear to be heard over the crowd. "We need to leave if we're going to get there on time. They don't like late parents."
Jonathan nodded and signaled his campaign manager, Jackson, to rap things up for them.
"That's all the questions for today folks!" She heard Jackson say as they walked back stage and out the back door of the theatre.
Martha giggled slightly as the pair climbed into the old red Ford pickup truck that Jonathan refused to get rid of even as a Senator.
Jonathan smiled at her. "Let's go become parents."
The drive took longer than expected, but for the couple it was all worth it when they got to bring Kara home.
The girl was quiet as she sat in between the two adults. Martha let her have her own space, after all, this was a big step. She was going to live with people she hardly knew. None of this was going to be easy for a thirteen year old especially one who had so little love in her life. She sat there and starred out at the road until something seemed to catch her eye in the sky.
"What is it, Kara?" Martha asked trying to see what the teen was looking at.
Suddenly the black sky filled with tiny balls of light, Martha thought at first were stars, but they were moving, fast towards the ground.
"Jonathan!" Martha screamed pointing to the on coming meteors as they showered around them. The rocks hit causing the earth to shake and giant balls of dust to fly up. As each belted into the ground, Martha saw a glint of green in the debris.
"He is coming." Kara stated plainly.
Before Martha could ask who, a giant ball of flames smashed in front of their truck. Jonathan swerved and hit the breaks. Martha braised herself, but nothing happened.
Opening her eyes, she saw a boy come out from the crater. His black hair was messy, and he wore no clothes but there seemed to be no sign of any injury. Looking out the window, she realized with a gasp that he was holding the truck up off the ground with one hand gazing at them blankly.
"He is here." Kara said a smile spreading across her face.
"Who's here?" Jonathan asked a bloody gash accentuated his forehead.
"Kal-El."
