Second Chance [1] [Complete]

Chapter 25: Catching Up

Third Person Perspective

Will you keep an eye on her?

Earth-38

In Metropolis, Clark Kent can be seen at the daily planet walking to his office.

He passes by a few of his friends as he turns and walks into his office.

Clark turns and smiles at Lois who sat at her desk and he waved before closing the door.

The man of steel then goes and sits at his desk as he opens his computer and sees the article Lois had written about Superman's latest adventure.

Clark: She's so perfect.

Suddenly a big breach opens up in Clarks office. He sits back wide eyed as the breach could be heard outside the office.

Lois stands up to go inside but Clark immediately locks the door and turns to the breach.

Clark: Why does this always happen?

Then two figures come out which Clark didn't know who but it was Ben and Emilia and the breach closes.

Emilia: Uncle Clark!

Emilia immediately runs over hugging the man of steel who could feel the strength she had in her body.

Clark: Whoa, uh...uncle...I'm uh...so...Since when did Kara have a kid?

Ben: Hey, Clark.

Clark: You know my name?

Ben: Yeah, Emilia...hey.

Emilia let's go of Clark who breathes heavily and is still shocked at the strength this little girl had.

Emilia: Sorry, uncle Clark. Wow, you look different. Why are you wearing glasses? You don't like glasses.

Ben laughs awkwardly as he brings Emilia and sits her down.

Clark: I'm sorry. Who are you exactly?

Lois finally manages to get the door open as she looks confused as to who the man and little girl were who were standing in her boyfriend's office.

Lois: What'd I miss?

——-

Clark and Lois both were sitting down, their eyes bulged as they just finished watching the video of earth-76.

Clark couldn't believe there was a Superman out there who would beg for his life, who would wanna be put out of his misery, but still seeing the video he figured he'd feel the same way.

Ben: I hate talking about it. It's too hard, but on my earth you and Barry were usually the ones who helped me feel better.

And it was true, Earth-76 Barry and Clark were the two who helped make Ben feel better. But Ben and Clark didn't exactly have a brother type relationship though they had been close because of Emilia.

Clark: Wow uh, that's uh some story, Ben.

Ben: I wouldn't have told you but I figured Kara would have told you.

Clark: I haven't talked to Kara.

Ben: I sorta left abruptly.

Clark: And so you were married to another version of Kara?

Ben: Yeah. It's confusing, I know.

Emilia: Uncle Clark, can I have a donut?

Ben looked over at Emilia.

Ben: Sweetie he's no...

Clark: No, no. It's fine. Uncles a new one but I like it. And yes, sweetheart you can.
