So, I've changed the ending a little bit and made it a little longer. But not that much has been changed. So if you already read the ending then you probably don't need to read again lol
Dear Reader
I wish I could say that life was easy from that point on, but being Superman's son, that's impossible. When I arrived at The Daily Planet after school, Dad and Richard were in a heated fight. At that moment, my Dad being Superman didn't intimidate Richard at all. I give him props for that. They were making a scene. Mom looked embarrassed and so was I. Richard swung at Dad. I don't know why 'cause he would've just broken his hand. Dad dodged out of the way, making it look like he accidentally tripped out of the way. Don't ask me how he did that but he did.
"Dad, Richard!" I yelled out. That made them stop and look my way.
"Stop it! This is stupid!"
"Stay out of it Jason, this doesn't concern you." Richard said coolly.
"Like hell it doesn't!" I yelled out. Richard pierced his lips together and glared at me. I glared right back. Dad gave me a warning look. I grudgingly looked away and fixed my glasses that had slightly fallen off my face. I stomped away from them and glared at all the reporters watching me.
Obviously this would cause more newsworthy gossip, like it had when they found out I was Clark Kent's son. At seven I was forced to wear glasses like my dad because people made remarks about me looking like Superman. The day I stepped into the bullpen with those glasses, there was no doubt about it. I was Clark Kent's son. Richard got sympathetic looks, mom had gotten glares from the women and jealous looks from the men and my dad got slaps on the back and flirtatious women following him.
Lana was standing next to mom, they were watching from the crowd, looking concerned. Mom looked like she was ready to step in at any moment. The issue was resolved a few moments later when Perry yelled at everyone to get back to work.
Richard glared at dad as he walked away. The small crowd that was left behind looked at me and Dad with curiosity. The news hungry folks wanted a story or at least a juicy bit of gossip to spread around.
Lana looked sympathetically at Richard. All she knew was that Mum and Richard had called off the engagement. She probably thought mum had an affair with Dad or something that caused the engagement to crumble... wait that is the reason the engagement crumbled. I chuckled to myself. Dad gave a quizzical look. I just shook my head and said:
"I'm late for school.", and hurriedly walked to the elevators.
About a week later I heard that Dad and Richard had gone up to the roof of the Daily Planet to have a "discussion". Richard came back with a broken hand. He probably hit Dad and snapped a bone. He should've known better by then.
Things were still pretty tense at The Daily Planet for the next few months, but things didn't seem as intense as they were before the confrontation. Dad never told us what they talked about, so to this day I still don't know. I wish mind reading was one of our abilities. It's sad really.
Richard sold our old house a couple of months later. Mom and Dad were finally getting along and by getting along I mean, having a discussion without biting each other's head off. They still didn't trust each other and with good reason. Lucy started to form full sentences at that point. Her first full sentence was: "Momma plugged toilet", I had yelled that at dad in the morning in frustration. I burst out laughing. We were in the mall at Christmas time and it was packed. A couple of old ladies snickered at us as they passed by. Mom and Dad were so embarrassed.
Lucy also grew to love to go flying with Dad and I. Mom was terrified of the day she'd learn to fly on her own.
Lana and Richard started dating a year after the break-up. They got married two years after that and had their own child. Kyle Perry White. Once he was born it was like all Richard's grudges against mom and dad were wiped clean. He had become Uncle Richard to Lucy and me.
Five years after that mom and dad finally got married. They did everything backwards, I think. Adults just don't make any sense. My brother, Johnny was born a year after that. From the day I was born to now, at twenty two my life is still as crazy as ever.
I do the odd save when dad can't make it and I have my own costume. Word was starting to get out that there was a new superhero in town. As much as I love being Superman's son, I prefer being Lois Lane and Clark Kent's son. I know, you must be shaking your head at me thinking they're the same person. To me they're not. Superman is a superhero, Clark Kent is Dad.
So, person from the future, though my life has been crazy and filled with a crazy amount of lies, they shaped me into the person that I am today. Without these lies my family's life wouldn't be where it is today. Even though this segment only tells of a small part of my life, it is very important to me. These are the stupid lies that shaped our lives.
