A large green planet was floating in space. This was the Planet Krypton, home to a race of humanoid aliens known as the Kryptonians. The planet has a red sun, giving the sky a unique color. The technology of Krypton is far more advanced than our own with their cities being what one pictures when envisioning the future. The planet has a much heavier gravity than that of Earth, causing the Kryptonians to develop bigger and stronger bodies. In spite of their great knowledge, the Kryptonians are a peaceful race and their world is a scientific utopia.
At least, it was.
On the surface, the situation was grim. Lava was erupting from the planet's surface, the ground was shaking apart, the kryptonian people were running in panic and the Science Council was frantically attempting to gain control of the situation. All except two of them.
In one building, a man and a woman were running through their halls. The man was apparently in his 30's and dressed in a white outfit with a grey S on his chest. The woman was blonde with blue eyes and wearing a similar outfit. She was carrying a crying baby wrapped in a red blanket. She stumbled from the tremor's but she did not fall. "Lara! Lara are you okay?" The man asked as he ran over to help his wife.
"Yes Jor-El, I'm fine and Kal is fine." Lara-El smiled.
Jor-El smiled at his wife and hugged her. "Then come quickly, we must act soon or it will be too late!"
The two hurried through the hallways of their home and finally arrived at the small ship. "Is this it?"
"Yes. By my calculations this ship will carry our son away from this planet and through a wormhole to a planet in the Milky Way Galaxy called Earth and to a kind family."
"What? But, are you sure?"
"I have monitored the people of Earth ahead of time just in the case of this event. Out of all the people on Earth, the compassion and love of this family will be exactly what he needs."
As the ship opened up, Lara slowly placed her son inside. "Jor-El.....he-he will be all alone."
Jor-El pulled out a green crystal from the table next to him and placed it inside a box marked with the Symbol of the House of El. "He will not be alone. When the time is right, he will be able to open this box and the crystal will create a fortress for him containing all of our knowledge."
Lara reached out one last time to kiss her son goodbye. "Farewell Kal-El, we will always be with you in your heart. I love you son."
"We both love you Kal."
After a few button presses on a console, the ship blasted off with their crying son inside. Jor-El watched it fly away. The Last Son of Krypton would survive this. His lips trembled and his eyes watered. "You will travel far, my little Kal-El. But we will never leave you... even in the face of our deaths... the richness of our lives shall be yours. All that I have, all that I've learned, everything I feel... all this, and more I... I bequeath you, my son. You will carry me inside you... all the days of your life. You will make my strength your own, and see my life through your own eyes, as your life will be seen through mine. The son becomes the father, and the father, the son. This is all I ... all I can send you, Kal-El."
As the ship flew off to safety, the quakes and eruptions got worse and worse.
The two cried as they watched their son fly away to safety. "Jor-El.....hold me."
Jor-El and his wife held each and closed their eyes.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
The planet exploded.

Jonathan patted his son on the back and they turned to go home as one of the children turned and watched Clark leave before turning his attention back to the people who were all offering the children rides home.

Clark and Jonathan returned home to the farm with Clark soaked to the bone. He was smiling though. "A whole bus. I lifted an entire bus onto my shoulders. I saved everybody on board. Can you believe that?" He asked his dad.
"That was.......wow."
"That's what I was saying." Clark smiled as he looked out the window and leaned back in his seat.
The two arrived back at the farm and got out. Martha was waiting inside for the two. She sat up to see the soaked to the bone Clark. "Hi mom."
"Clark? My word! What happened to you?"
"I dived into the lake."
"What?!"
"I'll tell you all about I've dried off." Clark said and took off his shoes and ran upstairs.
"Jonathan...."
"It was his call Martha."
"What happened?!"
Clark dried off with a towel for awhile and then put on some new clothes and a robe and headed back downstairs to talk to his parents about what happened.
Later, Clark was sipping hot cocoa. "Thanks alot mom, I needed this."
"You're welcome dear but, what happened out there?"
Clark smiled and explained what had happened on the trip.

"It was amazing, even I didn't know that I could lift that much." Clark smiled.
Martha hugged him. "That was amazing thing you did Clark. I know the families of those children would be eternally grateful to you."
Clark hugged her back. "I know, so, why not? Why not tell them that I did it?"
"Clark...maybe, maybe when you're older. But not right now. They-they aren't ready to know about your abilities yet Clark." Jonathan said.
"Oh...I see. Yeah, maybe in a couple years." Clark said.
"There you go son. Come on, cheer up and let's celebrate! Today was a heck of a day!"
Clark smiled and stood up and walked with them. The Kent family had one amazing dinner party.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"And then we crashed into the river and I thought we were going to sink all the way to the bottom but then somebody picked up the bus and put it on the dry land again and then the back of the bus got opened up and the water drained out and I saw a person standing there watching us and when we all got out I saw a man talking to him and he called him Clark!" The little boy explained to his mother in a rushed voice.
"Now now son, you know that there is nobody who can lift a bus. What happened was a miracle, that's what it was." The mother told her son. "Now, go on up to bed dear and we'll talk later when you've calmed down."
"But moooommm!"
"Up to bed young man. I'll be right up to tuck you in."
"But-but mom....Clark did save us!"
She patted him on the head and after her son went up to bed, she sat down on the stairs to get her wits. When she really thought about it though.....how else could the bus have gotten back on the bank safely?

Jonathan walked with Carol while Clark talked with Billy.
"So, how did I save you?"
"I saw it! I saw you open the back of the bus."
"Me? No, I was up on the bridge. The driver must have done it and you get all surprised in the confusion."
"But you were all wet."
"It was raining, remember?"
"Ohhh, right."
"Yeah. My mom says that when we're scared our minds can play tricks on us. You were panicking and you really wanted someone to save you so when the door opened you imagined that somebody was there opening it for you. I mean, I'm strong, but I can't force open a door like that. If I could, I'd be on TV." Clark laughed.
Billy laughed with him. "Yeah, you're right."
"But then how did it get back on land?"
"I'd say we have the driver to thank for that. Come on Carol, did anybody else see it?"
"No."
"Alright then, how can we say that one teenage kid could possibly do it all, when the more likely explanation is, well, the driver. He was at the wheel after all."
Carol sighed. "Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry for the trouble Jonathan."
"Not a problem at all. See you later Carol, thanks for visiting."
After Carol and Billy left, Jonathan sat down for a chat with Clark, who was sitting on the back of the truck. "Clark, listen to me, you did do the right thing."
"Thanks."
"But, you have to be more careful. Today was a close call alright? You're going to have to keep this side of yourself a secret from everybody else."
"Dad...dad what was I supposed to do? Let them die?"
Jonathan was quiet. "Maybe..." He looked off across the farm.
Clark stood up. "DAD!"
"Yeah...I-I know....I'm sorry but...God Clark, can you imagine how people would react? There are people out there who...who would do horrible things if they found out what you could do. People are afraid of what they don't understand."
"...So...alright...I'll-I'll keep it a secret. But, if I see somebody in danger...I'm going to help."
"Just be careful son."
"I will be dad."
The two hugged and then got back to work. "You got a big day coming up, you'll be starting high school soon."
"Great, shouldn't be too hard to hide there."
Admin wrote:The next several days were thankfully quieter and then Clark entered Smallville High.
It was...louder than he thought. Teenagers talking excitedly, people playing sports in front of the school, skateboards, boom boxes, flirting, it was like entering a new world.
Clark was snapped out of his thoughts when he saw a group of larger boys tossing around a backpack as a smaller teen tried to it from them. Clark marched right over.
"I said give it back!" Jimmy yelled at them and grabbed one of them by his jersey but he was shoved to the ground. "Say please Olsen." The bully laughed. "Let's see what you got in here huh?" Another one asked and zipped it open. "Why you-!"
Jimmy was caught off guard when someone yanked it away from the bullies and handed the bag to Jimmy. "Didn't anybody ever teach you not to take the things that aren't yours?" Clark asked.
"Who the hell are you?"
"I'm Clark Kent. I'm new."
"Newbie huh? Let's show him how things work around here!" Clark was pondering just how much effort he should use to convince them to go away when he saw a blonde teen walk up next to him. "IS there a problem here?" Whitney Fordman asked.
"No problem at all."
"Then get out of here. We have practice today."
"This ain't over dweebs."
The bullies walked off.
"Hey, thanks guys."
"Not a problem. You alright?" Clark asked Jimmy.
"Think nothing of it Jimmy." Whitney slapped Clark on the back. "And you? You've got balls of steel Clark."
"Ummm...thanks?"
"Yeah, I'm alright. I'll see you later. I have to get to class." Jimmy said and ran off.
Clark waved goodbye and headed to class himself.

Clark waved goodbye and headed to class himself.
Looking at his schedule, Clark hunted down his Geometry and Algebra class and took an open seat. "Excuse me, is it okay if I sit here?" He asked the blonde girl next to him.
She smiled. "Go right ahead, it's a free seat."
"I'm Clark."
"Chloe Sullivan."

She smiled. "Go right ahead, it's a free seat."
"I'm Clark."
"Chloe Sullivan."
"Well class, it looks like ah have myself a full class of new students." The math teacher smiled. "Ya'll know how ah just love new students, so to celebrate, we're having a pop quiz! Answer the best you can, it's all extra credit."
A few students groaned, Clark look surprised and Chloe just smiled and waited, making sure her pencil was sharpened.
"Oh, and every time ah hear a groan like what ah just heard, ya'll're gettin an additional page of homework." She smiled sweetly and handed out the quizzes.
"Good luck." Chloe said to Clark and they got to work.
(Well, an extra credit assignment on my first day is pretty cool I guess.....and it looks like math isn't one of my abilities.) Clark mused as he looked over the problems.
He answered to the best of his ability and then handed in the quiz and took out his notebook to take notes.
"And remember ya'll, page 45, do the odd numbered questions. Bye."
"That, was an experience." Clark said to Chloe.
"Yeah she has an accent but she's a math genius. I know, I talked to her about it." Chloe said.
"Chloe right? I couldn't help but notice you whizzing through the problems."
"It's what I do, I whizz through things. I'm a math whiz."
Clark laughed and the two walked down the hallway. They were interrupted however when they spotted a dark haired teenage girl.

Clark paused for a moment to stare at her.
Chloe shook her head. "She got another one."
"Who did?"
"You don't know her?"
"No.....who is she?"
"Lana Lang. Princess of Smallville."

"He's the new guy." Chloe smiled.

"Thanks. Great to be here." Clark smiled. "I..actually already made friends, with Whitney and Jimmy." The pain just kept getting worse, he could feel his arm starting to numb, his vision was blurring. "Uhm....one...one minute. Had a lot to drink." He said and walked into the bathroom, closing the door, he fell over onto the sink. Clark took deep breaths as he felt his body go back to normal. His vision cleared up, the pain went away and he stood up straighter. Clark splashed water on his face. "What's wrong with me?"
"Wow....somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed." Chloe commented.
