*** Boston, Mass ***

"Watching the news again?" Marcus Kent, father of Clark Kent asked his son who was simply relaxing on the couch watching the latest development on the Superheroes Civil War.

"Damn shame it's still going on, I tell you."

"They are still saving people Dad, that's admirable," Clark gently rebuke his father as he watched how two more Heroes under Captain America have been apprehended. Dressed in a casual white tee-shirt and shorts he continued to be on paid vacation from the Baxter Building Farm. He figure he might as well spend sometime with his parents. Which meant that Cobalt have been out of action for a month also.

"Well if Captain America would just surrender this entire war would be over," Marcus sat down next to his son and kicked up his feet on the coffee table.

Clark sighed inwardly, both of his parents were pro-registration, he himself was firmly against but did not feel like joining Captain America's party. He might not like it but he doesn't dislike it enough to resist. The fact though, that even if he was Anti-Registration, Tony Stark has some good ideas on where he wanted to focus with The Initiative. Fifty superhero teams in all fifty state. If this works then it would be adopted world wide.

In all honesty it seem like a more detailed version of his Justice League. First there was the Justice League, then the Justice League of America with their counterpart the Justice League of Europe, finally the Justice League Dark, who dealt in the supernatural. While not state specific they were responsible for their region with the Justice League main branch helping out wherever is necessary.

As for Cobalt, Clark felt a bit guilty not going on patrol, as to his surprise he was also listed as a hero who have not registered. But now a days, New York is heavily defended by both S.H.I.E.L.D, and Iron Man forces that not much is slipping through the cracks. After all, Tony Stark have to prove that his method works to deal with all sort of threat.

Then there are the Secret Avengers as people have begun to dubbed them, that still fight crime while fighting off Iron Man "Cape Killers".

"Don't give me that sigh young man, why I didn't even know Carol was a Superhero! Too bad you let that one get away eh?"

Clark face flushed a bit and drank some beer to cover his blush. His crush on Carol was well know by his parents. The fact that he was asked by her to the Prom was the highlight of his teen life at the time and he MIGHT have strutted around like a peacock. After that Carol went off to the military and while they kept in contact some, it was she who ended their correspondence. Something about a huge project group at the time.

Of course now that Ms. Marvel bios was listed, he could fill in the blanks. That was when she became a liaison to Captain Mar-vell.

+++ A week later +++

Clark, still on leave, was out washing his truck and reveling in it. The experience between a human and when he was Superman was like night and day! As if to emphasis the point he took his shirt and wiped the sweat off of it. While he have sweated before of course it usually mainly when he battle the likes of Lobo, Darkseid or was depowered. This was sweat from honest hard work, being a farmhand he rarely felt any exertion despite everything he did for Ma or Pa.

"Hi Clark~~~!" A girlish voice sounded by his parent drive way.

Looking up from using his shirt as a towel he saw one his old neighbor teen daughter waving at him flirtatiously. He gave a small smile and wave back and noted that her and her friend squeal and proceeded to walk away.
