The Kents sat there stunned looking at the young man who was holding their truck above the ground with only one hand.

The young man was looking around interested in his new surroundings. He began to move bringing the truck along with him as he climbed out of the giant smoking crater he had just made.

Slowly he placed the truck back onto the pavement.

Martha looked at Jonathan. He was still gazing at their savior with amazement.

She turned her attention back and found the boy standing beside her side of the truck. He opened the door, ripping right off the hinges in the process.

Martha sucked in a sharp breath, "Are you alright?"

The boy jumped slightly as if he were surprised she could speak. He cocked his head to the side like a dog does when he's listening. The boy suddenly smiled, nodding.

"You can understand me?"

He nodded again as his gaze wandered to Kara. His smile grew into a toothy grin. He spoke for the first time, but the sound that came out was not any language Martha had ever heard.

Martha looked at Kara who was smiling at the boy and to both the Kent's surprise spoke back to him in the same strange language he'd just used.

Jonathan cleared his throat drawing attention. "Do you speak English?"

The young man spoke once again. "Yes," he said simply before turning his attention to Martha.

"You are the Kents?"

Martha shot Jonathan a look. How could this…..alien?...know them? "Y..yes."

"Mission complete."

"What mission?" Jonathan asked.

The boy cocked his head again. "I was informed to find you upon my arrival."

"Why?"

Before the boy could answer, the sounds of sirens filled the air. Martha looked back to see the swirling lights coming straight towards them. Turning back to the boy, she found he was no longer there….anywhere for that matter. He'd disappeared in a split second.

Martha looked to Jonathan who was looking around in astonishment. Kara sat there smiling happily.

"Do you know that man, Kara?"

She looked at Martha thoughtfully. "Yes, he is Kal-El, last son of Krypton."

Jonathan glanced at his wife. "Well that clears that up."

The deep pounding of the speakers as the music flowed through them shook the place.

Lex Luthor sat between to very lovely women as they press ever closer into his Armani suit. The brunette turned his head to face hers as she pulled the black tie out of his long red hair letting it spill onto his shoulders. He leaned forward kissing her hard on the mouth, forcing his tongue through her closed lips.

He groaned as his cell phone played ominous music in his pocket. It was his father, checking in on the son. At first he ignored it, moving closer to….he forgot her name…….but the clear buzzing in his pocket made him growl in defeat.

Pulling himself from between the girls abruptly, he flung open the cell and yelled over the pulsing music, "WHAT?"

"Now is that anyway to greet your father, Lex?" Lionel's voice sounded highly amused.

"With you as a father, I shouldn't even answer," he retorted moving toward the speakers to see if he could legitimately say he could no longer hear him.

"LEX!" his father yelled in his ear. "Stop trying to drown me out! Move away from the speakers not toward them!"

Lex groaned. "What do you want?"

Lionel chuckled slightly in his ear. "Down to the point, eh? Very well, don't stay out too long, you're going to Smallville in the morning there's been some sort of Meteor shower there. I want you to personally look at the damage and take the insurance men around with you. Make sure we get all that's entitled to us."

Lex opened his mouth to refused but was cut off.

"I can't hear you anymore Lex. I'm gonna have to hang up see you here bright and early tomorrow morning around 5." There was a click and he was gone.

Lex hated when his father used his own tricks against him. Stuffing the cell back inside his suit, he turned to the women. "Now where were we?"

He squeezed back between them. He knew he would regret this in a couple of hours, but it was his way of having some control over his own life. Any control at all and he took it. Somehow he felt there was something waiting for him in the Podunk farm town. 'Cows, perhaps?' he thought cynically to himself before turning back to the beauties beside him.
