Chapter Three
"Cousin?" Chloe asked, shocked.
"She's my father's brother's daughter. She was sent to Earth the same time that I was supposed to," Kal said.
"You mean that you were supposed to come to Earth when you were a baby?" Chloe asked.
"When Krypton exploded, the shockwave knocked me off course. I landed on a planet with a peaceful race of beings that taught me to cherish all life and give everyone second chances," Kal said, smiling softly in remembrance.
"You loved someone there, didn't you?" Chloe asked softly.
"Yes. She was my mother and sisters," Kal said.
He looked at Chloe as she sighed in relief. After a few seconds, his eyes lit up in understanding. He kissed her lovingly, shocking her. He pulled back and embraced her softly.
"You're the first person, alien or not, that I have had romantic relations with," he said softly into her ear.
She shivered and leaned into him. Oliver cleared his throat and the couple looked to see that he had an amused smirk on his face. Chloe huffed playfully and swatted her "brother" on the shoulder. Suddenly, Kal started looking towards the Daily Planet, listening to something that only he could hear.
"What is it?" Chloe asked, worried.
"There is a hostage situation at a bank near the Daily Planet," he said.
"How…?" Oliver asked.
"We'll explain later. Just go, Kal," Chloe said.
"Are you sure…?" Kal asked.
"Go!" she exclaimed, pushing him softly.
"I'll be back soon," Kal whispered, kissing her softly.
He disappeared out the window and shot towards the bank. He stopped above and surveyed the area.
"Anyone comes in and we start killing hostages!" a robber shouted.
Kal paused as he floated down to right above the police. He ignored the stares and whispers about him as he concentrated on the inside of the building. He calculated the best course of action in only a few seconds, before landing in-between the police and the bank.
"What…?" a female officer started.
Everything around Kal suddenly slowed down to almost stopping. He shot into the bank and took everything in quickly. He pushed the robbers away from the hostages and vault, before time restarted. The hostages gasped as the robbers suddenly flew through the front doors of the bank. Kal shot out of the bank and towards Oliver's. He reached the suite and landed in the living room, where Chloe and Oliver were waiting. Chloe had a wide, proud grin, while Oliver had a knowing smirk on his face.
"Good job, Blur," he teased.
"Blur?" Kal asked.
"When you saved those people, the news captured you from floating above the police to disappearing after throwing those robbers though the front doors," Chloe explained.
"They call me the Green Arrow," Oliver said.
"Why?" Kal asked.
"I wear a green hooded tunic and use a bow and arrows to fight with," Oliver said.
"We need to create a group for people like you," Chloe said suddenly.
"People like us?" Oliver asked, slightly hurt.
"People who save others without asking for anything in return," she said seriously.
The two young men looked at one another and smirked.
"What would we ever do without you, little sister?" Oliver asked.
"Fall apart and never be able to pick yourselves up?" Chloe snarked.
Kal shook his head, amused, as he pulled her into a loving embrace.
"And that's one of the many things that made me fall in love with you, Sparky," Kal said, shocking the other two.
"Love…?" Chloe stuttered.
"Yes, Chloe Sullivan. I know that we've only been together for a short time, but I can't see myself being with anyone, but you. I don't know if you feel the same way…" Kal started.
He was pulled into a fierce kiss and embrace by his girlfriend. They were interrupted by an amused fake cough. The broke apart and turned to see Oliver smiling at them knowingly.
"Yes, I agree with you, Chloe. But, how are we going to find these other people?" Oliver asked.
"We'll just have to keep a lookout for them," Chloe said, leaning into Kal.
She turned to Kal.
"I think that it's time for you to meet your cousin, Mr. Kent," she said, smiling.
Kal looked at her, confused.
"Well, I'm pretty sure that you'll become part of the Kent family once they learn who you are. Oliver, could you…?" Chloe asked, turning to him.
"Of course, Chloe. Kal's new identity will be ready by the time you reach Smallville. I'll also keep a lookout for others that exhibit special traits and abilities to help in our…new group…we really need to think of a name for it…" Oliver said.
"We'll all do that and keep a lookout for others. Right now, we need to head to the Kent Farm," Chloe said.
The couple went to her car and she drove them from Metropolis to outside Smallville. They pulled into the driveway of a nice-looking farm. In front of the barn, a beautiful blonde girl, around their age, was helping an older blonde man with the farming. A pretty redheaded woman was taking some kind of pale yellow liquid out to them. She noticed the couple getting out of the car.
"Chloe! It's so nice to see you!" she said louder than normal.
"You don't have to hide Kara's secret anymore, Mrs. Kent. I know all about her," Chloe said, shocking the trio.
"How…" Karen whispered, scared.
"He told me," Chloe said, pointing to Kal.
"How do you know about Kara?" Mr. Kent asked lowly.
"Because…" Kal started.
He supersped to stand behind the Kents.
"Your daughter isn't the only one with gifts," he said.
The trio whipped around, shocked.
"How…?" Kara whispered, shocked.
"Maybe we should take this conversation inside?" Chloe suggested.
"Yes, of course," Mrs. Kent said.
The group walked into the living room and sat down. Chloe sat in Kal's lap and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Mr. Kent, Mrs. Kent, Kara…I'd like for you to meet Kal-El, Kara's cousin," Chloe said, shocking the trio again.
"Cousin…?" Kara whispered.
"When our planet, Krypton, exploded due to a civil war, the two of us were sent on a parallel path to Earth. I was only a few minutes behind you. Because of my proximity to the planet when it exploded, I was sent to another planet and raised to master the gifts I have," Kal explained.
"Your planet exploded?" Mrs. Kent asked.
"Yes, Mrs. Kent. Kara and I are all that's left of Krypton," Kal said sadly.
