Chapter 2 - Stranger with a Familiar Name
Diana looked at the man with a straight face before she turned and walked away. She startled when she felt an arm on her hand holding her back. She seethed at this mans casual attitude towards her. How dare he! Diana turned around, her mouth set in a grim line. She glared at where his hand held her before throwing a punch at him, which he expertly stopped with his other hand. Diana's eyes widened, he was fast but her reflexes were faster than his. She jumped and kicked him on the chest, making him fly back and crash into a street-lamp.
Crew had already stepped out of the car and he was eyeing her in horror. "Princess, did he just—"
"He's alive! Get back to the embassy! I have to take care of something!" saying that, she took to the air, not before looking back at the man in time to see him stand up. The lamp was broken and he stood there, just dusting his jacket. Before he could follow her, she flew away quickly and headed straight at Smallville.
Landing just off the main house, she kept praying that Clark wouldn't be here. She had just hit a man and there was barely a scratch to show for it. And why did he keep calling her Di. What if he knew their secret and was blackmailing her? How had he found out? Who could he be?
Diana spotted Pa Kent standing in the fields with the tractor. It looked broken again because of all the smoke it was emitting. Going into the house first, she greeted Martha and headed straight to the room she shared with Clark. Diana changed into a pair of jeans and a loose t-shirt, tied her hair up in a ponytail and walked out to see Jonathan.
Diana wondered if Clark had been here earlier, if he had, the tractor would have been fixed by now. She walked towards the broken tractor quickly and spoke, "Pa, hello! What happened to the tractor? I thought Kal came over to fix it earlier."
Jonathan turned around with a smile. Giving her a quick hug, he said, "Hi, honey! He did come over and this damn thing was working just fine. Clark left after eating the pie Martha baked."
"The whole pie?" Diana asked in disbelief. He wouldn't do that. She loved Ma's pies just as much, and her Kal would save some for her.
Jonathan chuckled. "Just half the pie. He left the rest for us."
"How generous of him." Diana grinned. "Let me help you, Pa. What can I do?"
"No, Diana. I'll just wait till Clark gets here!"
"I insist. What can I do to help?"
Jonathan finally gave in. "Think you can lift this thing?"
Diana looked at the tractor once before smiling. "Sure can." She bent down, grabbed the tractor and lifted it up. Jonathan quickly got to work as Diana held it up in the air.
Martha was working in the kitchen when she saw the tractor floating in the air. She narrowed her eyes when she saw Diana and Jonathan in the fields. She quickly ran out through the backdoor and made her way towards them.
"Jonathan!" Martha called out loudly, making both her husband and Diana turn towards her.
"What is it, darling?" Jonathan asked his wife, who was simply frowning at him.
"What are you making the poor girl do?! Diana, honey, set down the tractor, please. Clark can take care of this thing. And what good will it do if anyone saw Diana with the tractor over her head, Jonathan? Were you even thinking?!"
Diana smiled before saying, "It's fine, Ma. I can hear if someone is coming here. And I think Pa is almost done."
"Yup! Hold on a second, Diana." Jonathan quickly got back to work and in few minutes he was done. Diana set down the tractor and turned around to see Martha huffing and walking away.
"I'm telling you, Jonathan, one day it will be you blowing their cover! I can't believe you made the poor child lift that damn tractor of yours!"
Jonathan and Diana just laughed as Martha made her way back in. Once the tractor was up and running again, Diana asked Jonathan, "Pa, can I please see the pod Kal arrived in?"
"You mean the spaceship?" Jonathan asked in surprise.
Diana simply nodded. Jonathan asked her to give him a minute. He parked the tractor and got out, making his way towards the barn. Diana had never seen the pod before; she hadn't needed to. Her Kal was from the stars; she didn't need more proof than his existence. But seeing as there was a possibility that the ship carried two instead of one – thanks to the stranger she met earlier – Diana had to see the pod now.
Once they entered the barn, Jonathan moved a few things quickly before revealing a trapdoor on the floor. He pulled it open and led the way towards the pod. Diana watched in fascination when he lifted the cover off the pod. She looked at it and immediately knew this was a handiwork of one of the finest scientists of Krypton. Clark had told her that it was his grandfather, Lor-Van who had designed the spaceship.
She touched the pod's door and it opened, making her step back and look at the interior.
"He landed in this," Jonathan began. "I was so scared. I even had a gun with me. If it wasn't for my wife, I don't know what I would have done."
"He was an infant?" Diana asked, looking at the seat inside the pod. It was made for a very small being.
"A baby, yes. He must have been six-months-old at the most. The minute Martha set her eyes on him, she wanted to keep him. We kept the spaceship safe, but didn't show it to him till he turned fourteen and was looking for answers. We were scared he would leave."
"But he didn't."
"He did. For a few months. When he came back, he said he had found something in the Arctic. He was going to leave though." Jonathan took a seat nearby and looked at the pod. "He wanted to know more. He was getting stronger. He was able to fly."
"Did he go?" Diana asked, looking inside the pod again.
"No. Kara's spaceship crashed nearby. He took me along with him and the spaceship was same as this one, just a bit bigger. She was after all a teenager when she arrived. Clark changed after that. He had another person who understood where he was coming from. Someone he wanted to protect and get to know better. Then he met the league and you."
Diana nodded, folding her arms across her chest. "Pa, can this pod fit two infants?"
Jonathan looked up in surprise. "No, Diana. It was a perfect fit for Clark. I don't think any other kid could have fit in with him. My boy was big for a six-month-old baby. Why do you ask?"
"It's nothing. Thank you for showing me the pod."
"You're welcome, honey. Oh, that pod came with some kind of key like thing."
"The command key? Yes, Clark showed it to me. He has designed similar keys for the access to the Fortress. He gave one to me."
"I don't know how you kids go to that place and don't get cold." Jonathan laughed as he quickly covered the pod and pulled down the trapdoor over it. Once they made their way out of the barn, Diana decided to head home. Saying goodbye to Martha and Jonathan, she flew home.
Instead of flying straight home, she landed in a dark alley and decided to walk the rest of the way. It would take her just ten minutes, but she knew a walk would clear her mind.
Just as Diana turned towards her apartment, she saw him standing outside, still dressed in the same clothes he wore earlier this morning.
How did he even know she lived here! Diana panicked and was about to turn away when he called out, "Di! DI! Wait. Diana."
Diana's pace quickened but he was just as fast as her. Soon he was walking next to her.
"Walking away won't change that I'm Clark, Di. Look at me!" he grabbed her arm, pulled her towards an alley and made her face him. "It's me. Your Clark!"
Diana pushed him away when she noticed where they were. "You are not my Kal!" she yelled as she began to hover, slowly lifting herself up in the air.
"Really? Because it sure looks like you have hit you head and forgotten me," he said, lifting himself in the air as well.
Diana's eyes widened. He flew!
