Ext. Kent Farm: Smallville, Kansas circa 1984
Jonathan and Martha Kent are walking on their property, which is a huge amount of land, filled with many things from crops, to farm animals, everything that you would need to have a proper farm. Martha and Jonathan Kent are a couple in their late 30's, having lived on this farm since they were married; they have had nothing but a simple life. They do not have any children, due to difficulties that Martha has had in the past with carrying children. Even without children, they are happy with their lives, and could wish for nothing more.
As they walk, the couple is holding hands, enjoying their day. There is a loud CRASH in the distance. The couple can see, in the not so far distance, that there is something that just crashed into the ground, smoking now.
Jonathan:
What was that? It looks like there's something smoking… a fire?
Jonathan starts towards the smoke, frowning greatly, afraid that the whole ground will catch on fire.
Martha:
Jonathan, wait!
Martha follows her husband, and once they get in front of the crash site, the smoke is calming down. There is a shuttle, and after they look at it for a long moment, it opens. Inside is a child, a boy with dark hair with a curl for bangs that falls right into his eyes. He is wearing a blanket, and for a long moment the couple stares at the child, wondering whether he is dead or just sleeping.
There is a barking sound, and a white puppy, with a collar around his neck with an odd shape with a pentagon shape with an S in the middle hanging off of it. The same symbol is on the blanket around the small child inside of the shuttle.
Martha bends down, reaching out her hand and letting the puppy sniff it. He barks again, happily and jumps out of the shuttle, bouncing up and down at Martha, barking again and again for attention. The woman is grinning, ear to ear, as she bends down and picks up the puppy, who barks once more and begins licking her face. Jonathan glances at his wife with lack of approval in his eyes.
Jonathan:
What are you doing, Martha? Are you mental? You don't know where those things came from! They could be Russian.
Martha looks at him, almost shocked that he would say such a thing. She puts the puppy down, and picks up the child from the shuttle. He's big, around the age of two, and he has a head full of hair.
Martha:
Look at them! They're not Russian…
She is obviously made up about her decision. She is holding the sleeping child, and when she's not doting upon him, she's looking at the puppy.
Jonathan:
Do you suppose NASA's missing a baby?
Martha shrugs, bouncing the child up and down gently. She is obviously already in love with the child and puppy. She has always wished for a child, and this is the best thing she could wish for.
Martha:
(Excitedly)
What do you think of the name Christopher, Jon? Or Tom? What about Kirk? We could name him George after my Father… oh! Jonathan, what do you think about the name Clark?
Jonathan laughs softly, and shakes his head at his wife, following her and the puppy that is at her feet. The little boy once known as Kal-El opens his eyes, yawning softly and looking at the woman that is holding him.
Baby:
No Krypto…? Krypto…
Martha:
Oh… you're awake, what are you saying? Krypto?
The puppy barks at his name and Martha smiles at the puppy.
Martha:
Ohhh, you must be Krypto. (To the Baby) What about you? What do you think of the name Clark?
The baby giggles, and smiles at the name.
Jonathan:
Well then, Clark Kent it is…
