Chapter 11 - Clarence meets the Kents

When Clark walked into the control room for his monitor duty at the Watchtower, he was so tense that he forgot to shield his thoughts from J'onn. The Martian's eyes widened as soon as Clark walked in. He turned around to greet Clark.

"Hello, Kal-El. Forgive me, I did not mean to pry, but is it true?"

Clark let out a loud sigh as he plopped on a chair next to J'onn. "He's as real as I am, J'onn. And it's something I'm not able to get used to."

"You have kept him hidden from the world," J'onn said as he sat reading Clark's thoughts. "This Kryptonian, are you certain he is from another world?"

"Well, he doesn't look like me. He does have all the powers that I have. Kara and I are the only survivors of Krypton, unless you count all those who are in the Phantom Zone. And he seems to know Diana so well."

"He thinks Wonder Woman is his lover?"

"Exactly! That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard!" Clark rolled his eyes and sat back.

"Kal-El, I see you want to tell Batman everything. There is something I would like to share."

"Of course, J'onn. What is it?"

J'onn looked around to see if they were completely alone, then he turned to face Clark. "Multiverse has a set of rules. Some rules cannot be disrupted. I've seen Diana's thoughts; she has been on this earth since her birth. I know for sure she is not from a different world."

Clark let out a relieved sigh. He should have come to J'onn sooner.

"Right now, the other Kal-El has to stay hidden. Too many people know that he has crossed the barrier to this earth. Know this, his own earth is missing its Superman. They would be trying to find a way to get him back, to communicate. I am sure I can find a way to help. Till then I think the safest place he can be is none other than Smallville or the Fortress of Solitude."

Clark frowned. "Are you seriously suggesting I take him home to my parents? You do realize they will freak out!"

"They have Superman for a son, Kal-El, I'm sure they can handle it." J'onn gave him an encouraging smile. "And this will put your mind to rest as well, my friend."

"What do you mean?"

"You don't want the other Kal-El anywhere near Diana. This is the best way to maintain the distance."

Clark nodded. J'onn was right. Ma and Pa could handle Clarence. He decided to go to his apartment, packs some clothes for Clark 2 and take him to Smallville.

Come to think of it, he never asked Clark 2 about Ma and Pa from the other earth. He just wished they were safe whichever earth they were in.

The monitor duty came to an end, and Clark was about to leave when he heard Batman making his way towards the control room. Using the other exit, Clark left the Watchtower as soon as possible and headed straight home.

He quickly packed a small bag with Clark 2's clothes and flew straight to the Fortress. Kara was busy showing the boys a 3D model of Krypton and telling them all about her childhood there. When she saw Clark enter, she knew there was something going on.

Clark gestured her towards the Simulation room. He had soundproofed it so that neither humans nor aliens could hear anything even if they had super-hearing powers.

"What's the matter, Clark?" Kara asked quickly as soon as the door was closed.

"I spoke to J'onn about the other guy. He suggested not telling Bruce and more people about him. And to send him to Smallville."

"What? To stay with your parents? Do you think they will be okay with the fact that he's another you from another world?"

"I know how stupid this sounds, but he can't stay under my roof. J'onn is certain that Diana is from this world. Not a single thought of her connects her to any other world. Do you know what this means?"

Kara gave him a small nod. "His Diana might have stayed back in his own world."

"Exactly! So now's the best time to keep him away from my Diana."

"He could stay at my place," Kara offered. "That would mean telling Alex."

Clark shook his head quickly. "No, he's going to Smallville. I think you should come along."

"Sure, once I drop Barry back home." Kara smiled and opened the door.

She left Clark alone, but not before seeing him activate the hologram that showed Jor-El.

"Kal-El," her uncle's hologram greeted her cousin. At least he would have a clue on what to do, some help that he could offer to both the Clarks.

Kara had taken Barry to Central City and returned to the Fortress where both the Clarks were waiting for her. Strangely, Clark 2 had no problem going to Smallville, this made Clark wonder if Ma and Pa Kent were alive and well on earth 2.

Kara was disturbed after what Clark 2 had told her about her doppelgänger on earth 2. She was not with Barry Allen and that didn't make any sense. Clark did notice her strange behavior and decide to ask her if she was alright later.

The three of them flew straight to Smallville, where Clark asked Kara and Clark 2 to wait outside for a minute. He didn't want to just spring this on his parents. Walking in, he saw Pa watching TV and Ma was busy cooking. Jonathan was the first to notice his son standing with the front door opened. The look on Clark's face told him that something was wrong.

"Clark, come in, Son. What's wrong?"

"Pa, something happened, and I need your help."

"Of course, Son."

Martha walked out of the kitchen to see her husband talking to their son. "Clark, are you alright, honey?"

"Yeah! Don't worry about me. You see, something happened. A breach accidentally opened and someone from Earth 2 just fell right in."

"Earth 2?" Martha asked in confusion. "You mean there's more than one earth?"

"Shockingly, there are infinite earths in this multiverse. They are all like ours. And we all exist on those earths. See, on earth 2, there's another me, who is an alien, adopted by the two of you from that earth."

"Are you saying there's another Clark Kent?" Jonathan asked as he took a seat again.

"Yeah. And he's right here. Outside, actually. We need to hide him."

"Clark, how did he even come to this earth? Does he look like you?" Martha asked as she moved towards the door. She pulled it open to see Kara leaning against the truck and a stranger next to her. The minute Kara noticed Martha, she gave her a big smile and made her way in. Martha hugged Kara before she stepped aside. Clark 2's eyes widened. Clark's mother looked exactly like his 'mom'.

"Mom?" he blurted out as he made his way towards her.

Martha stepped back as the stranger made his way in. He didn't look like her Clark, but she had a feeling he was not human.

"Is this him?" she asked her son, who simply nodded.

"Aunt Martha, Uncle Jon, this is Clark Kent from Earth 2," Kara said. "Well, we think it's earth 2, we don't know for sure. He has all the powers Clark and I have. And we really need him to be somewhere safe till we find a way to open up the barrier again."

"Hello, umm… Clark. Do we call you Clark?" Martha asked, her eyes quickly drifting towards her son.

"Clarence, Ma. He's Clarence." Clark smirked.

"I am not!" Clark 2 shot back. "Please, you can call me Clark. Don't listen to him."

"Ma, just… let him stay here for a few days till we figure something out."

"Sure, honey. And Clark, make yourself at home. Kara, will you please show him the guest bedroom?"

"Sure, Aunt Martha," Kara replied as she led the way towards the stairs. Clark 2 followed her quietly. The house was exactly the same on his earth so he knew very well where the guest bedroom was. He did prefer his own room, sadly that was used by Clark.

Once Kara and Clark 2 left, Jonathan spoke, "Is he really another you?"

Clark simply sighed and nodded. Plopping down on the couch next to his father, he said, "He also thinks my Diana is his Diana. It's complicated."

"Does Bruce know?" Martha asked as she walked back to the kitchen. Clark followed her and shook his head.

"Barry and Cisco are trying a way to open the breach again. J'onn has volunteered to help. These guys are way more understanding than Bruce is. Imagine how badly he would react if we introduce Clarence to him now!"

"What's with that name? Clarence." Martha smiled. "Clark is such a nice name. It will be odd to call him that."

"You can call him Clarence too. Or Clark 2, like Barry prefers."

"Trust Barry to come up with such weird names! Anyway, Eliza and Jeremiah called earlier. They are coming over. I'm not sure if Alex can make it. Jon talked to Henry, too. He's coming along with Barry."

"Why? Why are we suddenly having so many guests?"

"Thanksgiving! I can't believe you forgot!"

"It's been a stressful week, Ma." Clark sighed loudly. "Now this means they will all see Clark 2 here."

"If you can't find a way to send him back by then," Martha said calmly. "Then yes, he's going to be here."
