Chapter 47 - Incapacitated Clark

Crackle!

Dark clouds covered the sky, heavy rain fell, and the green grass on the farm was full of mud.

Jonathan, Martha, and David sat in the living room, drinking hot tea in a warm atmosphere.

Heavy bean-like raindrops slammed on the windows, causing them to shake.

"Why hasn't Clark come back yet?"

Holding the steaming cup of black tea in her hand, Martha looked outside worriedly.

"I saw him being called away by Chloe," David said, taking a sip of hot tea, "Maybe proofreading for Chloe."

Jonathan was not much worried about the safety of his eldest son.

"It's just a heavy rain, not a flood. Clark will be fine." He said with a smile.

Boom!

Suddenly, a hand slammed the door weakly.

A tall figure opened the door, the broken clothes were covered with muddy water, and a few strands of drenched hair stuck to his face, and he staggered and fell into the room in embarrassment.

Snapped!

Dazzling thunder and lightning flashed outside, illuminating Clark's pale face that fell to the ground, with a few bloodstains on the side of his face.

"Clark, what's the matter with you?"

Jonathan and Martha were taken aback by the scene. They had never seen their son look like this before and rushed forward to help the eldest son up.

Martha touched her son's forehead, which was hot, and she turned pale with surprise and worry.

"Ah, why is your forehead so hot?"

"Are you okay?"

David's expression changed, his brows tightly frowned, and he quickly took the heavy Clark from his parents' hands.

Clark was in such a mess, the only impression he had was that he met kryptonite.

"You and Lana went home together under the rain and were caught by Whitney?"

"No... no."

Clark, who was drenched and weak, was supported by David and sat on the chair. He looked up at his younger brother weakly, with panic in his eyes.

"David, I...my abilities are gone!"

The family looked stunned.

"What do you mean?"

David was taken aback.

He didn't quite understand Clark's words, did he lose his superhuman ability?

Although it was cloudy and rainy outside, it wasn't the red sun that would deprive the Kryptonians of their strength.

"I don't understand either. I was struck by lightning while coming home, and then my abilities disappeared."

Clark looked at his burned hands, and suddenly a drop of blood dripped on them.

Touching his nose, he found that his nose was bleeding, his eyes darkened, and he lay down on the table.

"Clark?"

David was about to ask if Clark accidentally inhaled some powdered kryptonite. This will also make his ability invalid for a certain period of time, but before that Clark passed out.

"David, we're going to take your brother to the hospital."

Panicked, Martha wanted to drive to the hospital in the rain immediately, but Jonathan grabbed her arm.

"Wait a minute, Martha."

If Clark went to the hospital and was tested by the doctor, this would definitely cause trouble. He didn't want to lose his eldest son due to some investigations.

"Maybe this is a normal situation for Clark. Let's wait and see."

Clark is not from Earth, and no one knows if there will be any special period when he develops. Now it may be like a bear hibernating in winter and a butterfly larva cocooning.

"No, Mom."

Listening to Clark's heartbeat, David frowned.

"Clark's heartbeat is still strong and powerful, and he passed out as if he was overexerted and had a fever."

"Just give him two doses of medicine and some rest will be enough."

"Really?"

Looking at the serious young son, Martha was dubious.

Clark's body right now is normal and a bit sick. Compared with ordinary people, he is still too strong, but compared with Kryptonians, he is very abnormal.

However, for the time being, it is definitely not life-threatening.

"I'll take him upstairs first."

'What happened to Clark' Doubts flashed in David's eyes, and he carried Clark upstairs with his father Jonathan helping.

Heavy rain was dropping coming, and Eric is running home with blond hair and torn clothes.

Suddenly, his speed increased without any indication which caused him to flow over the ground like an out-of-control plane, causing a sonic boom, exploding the raindrops, and finally slamming into a big tree surrounded by several people by the side of the road.

Boom!

As if bombarded by some rockets, the tree exploded and sawdust flew.

Eric pulled the body out of the tree and looked in shock at the unscathed body.

"What's the matter, I didn't get hurt at all."

Even if the speeding truck hit the tree like this, the front of the truck should have been crushed.

And he's fine.

"Did I just have that kind of speed just now?"

"I'm just like the angel warrior in the comics!"

Unbelievably, Eric was shocked and ecstatic by the miraculous scene in front of him!

this power?!

Angel Warrior was a popular comic that has been serialized for more than ten years. It accompanied many children through their childhood. It tells about the superhero Angel Warrior who has a body that surpasses the speed of sound and has infinite strength.

He tried throwing a punch in the air ahead of him.

Boom!

The air exploded like a compressed boiling pressure cooker, and the sound of the sonic boom roared for several miles, and the sound even faintly overwhelmed the thunder in the sky.

Suddenly, the raindrops and the accumulated water on the ground within a few meters were emptied, and the air wave shock wave visible to the naked eye was bombarded away. The front ten meters seemed to be swept by a typhoon, smashing trees in an instant, forming a fan-shaped area like being hit by a missile.

After a few seconds of being stunned, a crazy smile that seemed to have been suppressed for a long time appeared on Eric's face. He covered his forehead and laughed wildly, only showing endless rebellion and unruliness in his eyes.

With such power, What in the world can stop him?

"I can do whatever I want!" (T/N: Bro became budget Homelander)

The strap of his schoolbag was torn off when it hit a big tree by the side of the road, and the schoolbag fell to the ground, spilling the books and homework inside.

In the past, he would have been trying to pick it up in a hurry to avoid being reprimanded by his parents when he got home.

But now...

Eric's mouth curled up with strong disdain.

'Now that I have the power of a god, do I still need to go to school?

Parents, especially that old-fashioned father, can't control him anymore!'

He stepped to leave.

The fist-sized meteorite that had just fallen out of the schoolbag started emitting green light.

Passing the schoolbag, Eric's feet went limp, and he fell to the ground, feeling the pain of being burned all over the surface of his body.

"My strength is gone again?"

Falling into the muddy water, he looked weakly at the randomly glowing meteorite with an ugly expression, feeling a bit startled and suspicious.

"What is this?"

...

The next morning, after the heavy rain, the sun shone brightly into the house.

On a warm and comfortable bed, with a cold towel on his forehead, Clark opened his eyes and felt much better.

His parents and younger brother were gathered around his bed.

He lifted the blanket and sat up.

"Clark, how are you?"

"I'm fine," Clark answered with a smile, feeling the care of his parents.

Clark looked at his younger brother again. Although his younger brother stood there without speaking, his brows were tightly furrowed, and there was concern and inquiry in his eyes.

"What happened to you?"

Not only David, but the couple also wanted to know why the eldest son became like this.

"Yesterday after school..."

Pressing his forehead, Clark thought about it, thinking that it should have something to do with lightning.

"The dam bridge, Eric, saving people, being struck by lightning, green lightning?"

After listening to his story, the couple looked at each other, unable to think of anything.

"It really is a meteorite."

David shook his head.

Was it some lightning that reacted through the kryptonite, giving Clark a similar effect to inhaling powdered-kryptonite?
