Scene Twelve
Int. Kent Home, Clark's room.
There are things all over the floor, various boxes with things in them. There's a suitcase with a lot of clothes inside of it. Clark is sitting in the middle of the floor, with Krypto besides him. Krypto is wearing the House of El symbol on his neck, but the dog is sitting off to the side but still watches whenever Clark moves.
Clark:
So Krypto, buddy, I don't know if Ma and Pa have broke the news to you, but I can't take you with me to Metropolis. The apartment I applied for has a no pet policy. So you have to stay here…
During this talk, Krypto grows visibly sadder and sadder. He lets out a pitiful whine, one that shows his protest to this idea. Clark reaches over and pets Krypto behind the ears. Krypto leans into Clark's hand and lets out a little sign.
Clark:
I'll still visit, I promise. Every summer, holidays, and when we have breaks in classes I'll come see you. Besides one of us has to protect Ma and Pa.
Krypto seems happier by this statement and barks happily. Clark laughs and goes back to packing, and there's suddenly a knock at the door.
Martha:
Clark…? May I come in? I have something for you.
She opens the door and Krypto jumps up and walks over to Martha. He barks and bounces around her feet. Martha giggles and reaches down to pet the dog.
Martha:
I know you've realized this years ago… You're special and your destiny is to help people. Your Father and I wish you the best in Metropolis.
She pauses and sighs lightly; she's holding a box in her hand. She bends down not so easily next to Clark.
Martha:
If… well you're going to have to hide your abilities from other people. You don't want to be exiled, or discriminated against. You also don't want others, the people you're fighting against, to harm those closest to you. So… I made you this.
She opens the box and the camera follows her hands as she reveals the suit made. It's blue and red with the Kryptonian symbol right in the middle of the chest.
Martha:
I… want you to be a hero. I don't want you to not use these powers. Your father and I believe in you. We love you. So when you leave later tonight… take this with you. So you can wear the symbol of your true family, and be that hero.
With those words, the camera zooms in on the symbol and the screen fades to black.
