Chapter 12 - internal conflicts

Clark could feel the wind push up against him,as he flew under the nightsky.flying above the clouds the stars sparkled like jewls.ever since he figured out how to fly he was instantly enamored with it,it wasn't just the freedom that he fell in love with no,it was something much more simple he felt whole,like something that had been missing his entire life finally was found.

Closing his eyes as the winds pushed up against his hair,while his red leather jacket flapped in the wind.he reminisced about the short time he had with Tyler,when he first saw him he already knew he was superabled,he had that same blue squirming thing that looked like a worm or whatever that every superabled had,but his was weird.

Clark couldn't explain it,but the way it glowed reminded him of the sun somehow.

But if anything Clark thought he was more different than the rest,after all he didn't have that worm they all had.it bothered him how could he do the things he could if he didn't have it.sighing Clark always felt the difference,he could fly,jump super high,run really fast,has super hearing and super visions,can shoot laser beams out of his eyes,and is super strong and is durable ,oh and he found something out recently it was when he breathed really hard and released it he could basically freeze the air.

Yet even with all these gifts his ma called them,he felt more alone The supes he thought he could relate with,he couldn't he wasent like them.he was Different.

That was until Tyler came,he was like an older brother Clark never had,he was funny,Confident,and cool,but above all he trusted Clark with something so valuable that his ma made to him.a person he barely knew for a day,yet he gave it to him.clutching his red leather jacket,Clark had a determined look on his face.

As he flew faster,already seeing the city lights of Detroit a couple hundred miles away.

-My momma,gave me that handmade it herself,but I want you to have that as a reminder to never be like me.-

Tyler words,echoed in his mind he didn't know why he said that but,why wouldn't he wants to be like him,he was good at talking not like Clark,who would sit by himself at lunch and not talk to anyone at school even the super abled kids, who he though he could be friends with stopped hanging out with him.

It all happened on that day when he was taking the school bus back home,all his friends where there excited about watching teenage kixs,when the bus driver lost control and crashed straight through the barrier of the bridge,as they fell straight into the river,everyone was screaming crying even his friends that said they where going to be superheroes,and got mangers that planned there gigs for their first appearances where terrified.

But he wasent,for the sake of everyone lives Clark acted fast and bursted through the roof of the bus,and pushed it out of the river,saving everyone.That was the first day Clark appeared on tv,as they gave him the name Superboy smallviles,Smaller hero.

That was also the day he became friendless once again.when he came back home his parents where worried about him but more so his ma,his dad on the other hand was so proud that he bought Clark whatever he wanted.ever since then Clark would help around here and there.catching escaped cattle and returning them to their owners,mostly relative easy work that he usually did anyways.

-with great power,comes great responsibility-

Tyler words once again seeped in his mind,when he said those words it stuck a cord in him,he knew with his powers if he wanted to he could do really bad things,if he wanted to but he wouldn't he wasn't raised like that,but if he did…shaking his head Tyler was right,his powers where dangerous but they could also do good.

-a hero, is person who no matter how much the odds are stacked against them, push forward even when the going gets tough, they persevere that what makes a hero.-

Stopping briefly,Clark stared up at the moon conflicted.

"A hero….but."Clark said conflicted.

-I don't really want to become a hero, I just want to help around the farm with my family is all.-

A part of him was the farm,was his home,was the part he cherished most his family,helping around the farm,laughing with da,cooking with ma.

But the other half was,complicated.he couldn't but,he felt….he had to.there it was again Tyler voice echoed in his mind once more.

-That impressive Clark there no doubt one day you become a super hero.-

-with great power,comes great responsibility.-

-But now,that word is thrown around like hotcakes, nowadays your more likely to see a man wearing spandex's,crowded with paparazzi proclaiming to be a hero,

while people who need help are being robbed in a alley or worse killed.-

"I…i…."Clark was stumped,lost even but,he spoke softly.

"With great power,comes great responsibility."whispering those words,a vestige of Tyler smiling infront of him appeared patting his shoulder as he disappeared with a gush of wind.

Breathing in and out repeatedly Clark,knew what he had to do,but first he would make sure Tyler okay and than well,he'll become the person he was always meant to be.

Breaking the sound barrier,Clark bursted into high speeds,with a resolved mindset and determination etched on his face.

"Tyler,I'm coming."
