They were talking about an Adoption Scandal, and it was sounding big.

Listening to what they were saying this was going to be their biggest story of the month or maybe even the year. It would be taking sometime and a lot of digging but most of all that it was going to be top secret and they might even need to cross some legal issues that they might have or had already have done. Meaning that they would and might have already crossed some lines and will not stop until they have gotten what they were hunting down like they hungry animals that they are.

It was sounding interesting and this was the logical reason why her Grandfather would be there because they would need his help, assisting them.

Or there was the chance that there might be another reason that he was there because the sound of his heart rate and his breath were sounding off. And he was making feel everyone around him very tense and terrified hearing their heartbeats and she could swear that she could smell their sweat from all the way from here and she was definitely hearing it drop and almost feeling it as well.

He definetly made peopel scared of him and just from this she was starting to see why he was called 'Clark The Shark'.

Then she heard him saying something " My client and I ..." and then he was pushing a piece of paper over the desk as if he was make this direct threat to them without actually saying a word. And she was not sure that she wanted to hear anymore at that moment and stopped listening at that very moment because she did not want to hear it.

She was carrying coffees and all sorts of drinks while in a busy crowd with people bragging past. Bumping into her and almost knocking the drinks out of her hands and not even caring if they did it. But would only care if the drink was spilt on one of them and ruined their clothing as she was witnessing that happening across the street.

A business man was demanding that a mother who was pushing a pram around and the business was on his phone, not paying attention to a single thing around him. Pushing people aside and not caring that he was bumping into people and knocking people's belongings out of their hands and immediately dismissing them when they tried to respond to his actions.

But he walked into the mother and spilled his coffee around her and himself while not even paying attention because he was too busy shouting down the phone for the world to hear the whole conversation. He looked steaming mad at her and was demanding that she was going to pay for this and pay for his drying that he was going to send her the bill and was even threatening to sew her if he had to.

But she was glad the Mother had a backbone and was not going down with a fight. It looked like she was winning the argument and that the man was beginning to back away as he began to shrink not suspecting that she would actually shout back at him. This was clearly something that he was not used and he was not handling it well. People were watching through their phones and some even had newspapers that were loving every part of it and so was she.

But it was too bad that she had to keep moving forward.

And she nearly was hit by a car if she had not used her super speed to back up because she was stupid and was not paying attention to what was she was doing.

It would be easy to get that stain out anyway with a little hard scrubbing.

She was not listening to the important conversation anymore that she had planned to because for some reason she was able to hear her parents talking and she was worried of what they are talking about.

" Martha, we cannot depend on that man "

" Jonathan, we have no options and no other choices "

" I do not trust that man and I do not trust him with..."

PAMP

" Out of the way " screamed a stranger.

She realized that she was standing in the middle of the road and was nearly about to get run over by a black van. Or rather if the van had hit her….? She wondered what the results would be because of all things that happened with her powers she was still not tried, not that she would try to actually do it of course, but she had never been hit by a moving vehicle.

Though the car that she had hit trying to get the bump out of an old car that Pete was and still was trying to restore and out together, even though it was never going to happen because it was a thing that he literally found at a dump. And that was one thing that she could never understand how some guys actually go to dumps and go dumpster diving for things that they think they need and will use. Like car parts but they actually turn out to be toaster parts and not what the guy was looking for and actually go back.

But when you ask them to take something to the dump they either will do it later and do not have the time right now but it never gets done. And they just complain that you are nagging them to do it and it is something that they will get around to doing but in reality, it never happens. Or even worse they actually want to keep what you are planning to throw out and they start using it again when they have not actually used in a long time. This is obviously only to prove a point that you should not throw their stuff out even if it is junk, it is their treasure that they love.

Her Dad was still to find out that she thrown out his old and really crappy table tennis, with the help and permission of her Mum of course. She had already thrown out so much more of his stuff that included a broken dart board with several holes in it as if someone had stabbed it angrily. And had that faint smell of beer on it.

Point was she had accidentally sent a car flying in the air about fifty feet and it even did a flip or two before it had smashed onto the ground and shattering the windshield and that was the only window that was not broken or needed fixed. But she did manage to get the bump out because it was in her hand and was not going to go any time soon and she was not going near a car or allowed near one after that had happened.

But in time she dead up going to the dump to test out her powers on the junk and even take some of it home to practice on some more, so that she would be able to home her skill just a little bit more and it would also be like recycling and would be good for the environment if she destroyed it instead.

"Ok, hold your horses I am moving and you can just speed on as your heart is content "said Clark under her breath.

So, she could hear from this far away and focus well if she had to. But her problem was that she was not focusing on her other surroundings and had to start to pay attention to that or someone would get hurt. And she would be in trouble if she had accidentally dropped all of the coffee and there was even a small chance that she might actually have someone attempt to kill her because they would not get their coffee or got to correct. She had after all seen it in their eyes and the evil look that they would give if their drink was just not right. And the silent shouting that was going on inside that person's head with the silent look and silent words. Murdered because someone did not get their coffee.

All of them were hooked and addicted to coffee most like an addict or a drunk would be without and going through rehab. And if they did not get their top up and then things would not be good for a lot of people and for the same person as well.

She looked back to see with her X-ray vision of course. That the driver that nearly hit her or she nearly hit him had an empty cup of coffee in his holder and one in his hand that was now empty and the driver was steaming mad at the several cups that he had in the care.

Since when was it that America was so addicted to coffee that they should be hooked up to IV machines so that they would be stable and calm. It was not like this back home and this was one of the Big Cities and she could see the differences and this was one of them and boy was it shockingly surprising.

"Phew "she said as she looked up and she had made it back unscathed.

The palm of her hands was hot to the touch and because of she could start to feel that the coffees were starting to get a little colder than they should of been in the first place.

Well right now she was in the elevator and there were no cameras and she had made sure of this after scanning the whole elevator several times to make herself feel at ease and did it this morning and then doing it now she was able to make sure it was not there,

So, this comforted her know that she would be able to use her X-ray vision to heat up the drinks and use her cold breath to cool them down if they got too hot and cool down the cool drinks as well. It may be hot outside but the hot drinks still got cold.

It was really hot according to her friend Chloe it was. But she could not really feel the heat and had never did because she was from Kansas and it was probably part of her superpowers. She was still surprised that Chloe was still not used to the heat because she had been living in Kansas for quite some time now and this heat wave was nothing to her and to Lana either. But the real victim was Chloe's hair and that was the main reasons he hated the sun and she just found this hilariously funny.

Frizzy hair.

DING

She had returned and the room was buzzing with excitement. Whatever she had missed clearly it had a big, no correction it was a massive impact on what was happening right now because the speed that they were walking was almost in a blur motion and was almost would do on the Farm.

She quickly was surrounded by some of the reporters to get their much needed drinks from her and into their clutches and instantly hitting their lips,as if they were getting CPR. It was liek this everyday and it was as if they had never had a drink of water in their life or were thirsty and had not had a drink in days and desperately needed or they would die.

Curious wanting to know what was going on she quickly handed out the others, without saying a single word to anyone. And she did not even make a single mistake or do anything wrong by doing something that would be clumsy.

But before she could even do another single thing, like say eavesdropping on a private and confenditonal conversation that she was not supposed to hear. But No, she had to her job and do a lot of paperwork and filing that would take a life time to do and she was told that she had to have it done by the end of the week or she would be fired. It this was higly suggested that this was happening because of her Grandfather had ticked everyone off.

Looking at the endless sea of paperwork and just so many filing cabinets this would someone a life time to do and could never be done by a normal person. She smiled because she was no normal person and she rubbed her hands evilly together this was so something that she could be capable of doing in no time at all.

She could sneak out and send sometime in the City at looking at the City and go sight seeing, something that she had still to do and wanted since she had gotten there. And maybe even have some fun exploring and go shopping with the few bucks that she had earned.

Also Chloe had wanted her help with someone that was if she could escape from her job for a while, that was. Chloe was making it sound like she was in jail and that her job was miserable and that it was completely impossible. But then again Chloe always said things that like when she was miserable and maybe she was really talking about the job that she was doing. A job that she still had no idea what Chloe was really doing and only knew that it was to do with computers and she really should know what it is. And what Chloe is up to since she had gotten here because she did not have the faintest clue all but knowing Chloe was only there for a couple of hours a day and then would be back still on her laptop. Then she would sneak out at all hours of the night and come back the next night, tired and completely exhausted.

So maybe she had some Detective work to do and follow her friend.

Or maybe she could just ask ?

Or maybe she should just check up n Chloe ebcause this could all just be in her head and she could be worried for nothing. This could be her parents geting to her and their paranoia is definetly rubbing off on her and she is just worried about nothing. Going insane because of the many other things that would make another person insane and they are finally driving her insane. Or maybe she is just insane and this is justa ll in her imagine and this is complete fiction. That this si just a story that someone is writing or that someone is reading and this is the story that someone had made up. This would make much more sense because nothing in her life seemed to make much sense and no one would really believe that this would be Non-fiction.

Well all she had to do was lock the door.

Do some work.

And jump out the window.

She could be back in a couple of hours and do some more work and then she could go home and have dinner with her parents again.

But also maybe she could spy on her Grandfather because she was getting the feeling that he was up to something and that something was going. Because defintely all eyes were on her and there was something going on she could feel it in her gut and she just had to work it before it was all too late.

Knock Knock

She froze with the pieces of paper falling to the ground all in slow motion. She gave the door one more glance and quickly grabbed them as she read them as quickly as he could and placing them right where they belonged.

" One sec " said Clark.

She just had to put boxes aside and make even more a mess well make it look more of a mess because it would a tidy mess that she could easily tidy up within a matter of minutes. The kind of mess that you are able to sort things out much quicker and was just the way her mind worked out.

And she had stopped in her tracks and quickly opened the door. But she was surprised to see who was on the other end of the door.

" Grampa " she said surprised.

He walked into the room.
