Chapter 2 - Chap 2

~ flashback ~

It all started when he was in the living room, playing with a ball and that ball ended up under the sofa and he, trying to get the ball, raised the sofa, something that surprised and scared his parents at the time.

But if things had stopped there, everything was ok, but the problem is that the powers kept showing up and he kept getting stronger, it was only when he was 11 years old that he theorized and proved that his powers came from sunlight . For a while he thought it was a kind of mutant plant with superpowers and when he told his parents this theory, they laughed as if they thought it was the funniest thing in the world, something that frustrated him a lot at the time, he

remember.

His parents felt his frustration and after a private conversation, which he heard, even though he was in different rooms, yet another of his powers that was most of the time annoying, but sometimes useful, they took him to the basement, a place forbidden to him for a reason that, until that moment, he didn't know.

It was there that he had the greatest revelation of his life, his parents told him everything, from his arrival on earth in a ship until the moment when he awoke his powers.

When Clark heard his parents, he was stunned for a while, as if he didn't know what to say, but when he came out of his stupor, surprisingly he acted like a child his age and looked angrily at his parents and said "you ... Because they lied to me, why didn't they tell me before? They made me think I was a freak, some kind of mutant plant "and before his parents could explain themselves, he ran at an amazing speed and climbed a tree, a tree that he he went up whenever he wanted to be alone, and there he was thinking about his parents 'words and how they denied him the truth, until he heard his parents' desperate screams, and even with tears in his eyes, he did not answer and remained hidden.

Hours later the screaming stopped and he heard his father… I mean, Jonathan taking Martha home consoling her and saying they were going to look for it tomorrow, when the sun came up. And hearing that, something broke in Clark's heart, a bad feeling ran through his body and he realized how childish (even for his age) and ungrateful he was being. What does it matter if he was not their biological child? They adopted him and treated him with such love and affection that even he, a child, could feel it.

And so he spent the night, thinking and when the sun came up, he realized he was there, in that tree, on time. And after a few minutes, he heard the screams, with the same desperation as the night before, that his parents were giving, but now he went down and went towards them.

Martha was desperate, she knew she shouldn't tell Clark the origin, at least not now, but she couldn't resist, when she saw her frustrated son theorizing the origin of his powers and seeing himself with an aberration, his heart hurt too much , but now Clark, her baby has run away, and she knew that with her powers, if he didn't want to be found, it would be almost impossible to find him, when she was thinking about it, she saw her baby coming out of the bush and approaching her with a weeping countenance

And she hurriedly asked "Clark, my son, are you okay, are you hurt? The mother didn't want to hide it from you, my son, we did this to protect you" she expected a rebuttal, but only heard her son's cry who ran towards her and, very carefully, as if afraid of breaking it, hugged her and cried and said

"Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't want to run away, I didn't want to leave you and your father worried, I'm so stupid and ungrateful, I don't deserve to have you as parents, but please don't leave me"

"It's alright Clark, your father and I will never leave you, you are our life. And you are not stupid, it is normal to be angry and sad when you hide something from us, even more something as important as our origin, but I want you, no matter how old you are, to know that what we do is always for your good, always.

Now let's find your dad, he's still looking for you "

"I see him, he's 450 meters from here, come on," said Clark after wiping his tears and using his X-ray vision, a power he woke up with at the age of 8 and only got stronger with age.

When he met his father, he did not receive the sermon he had hoped for, but he did receive a tight hug and an apology "I'm sorry, my son, we didn't want to hide this from you, but we did it thinking for your sake"

"It's okay, Dad. I was an idiot for acting like this, I know you were just thinking about me"

"You are not an idiot, never say that again, you are Clark Kent, son of Jonathan and Martha Kent and no matter where you come from, it will never change"

Said Jonathan and Clark gave a smile to his father and mother and when he was going to answer, his stomach rumbled and he was embarrassed and his parents laughed at it, which lightened the mood.

"Come on, Clark. I'm going to prepare a delicious lasagna, just the way you like it and I'm also going to make you a pudding"

Said Martha as she gently pulled him towards HER home, and hearing this he said "thank you" to which his mother and father just smiled.
