Werewolf In Smallville

16: clark Kent returns

Clark Kent, I sat up and shook my head. the ritual was over, I can go see my.. sons. "Clark, I want to talk t-" Started Tal, I brushed myself off as I stood, I know what he's asking, but I Don't want to talk about it. "I need to go see my family Tal, can you look after the world for a couple days?" I asked, he's proved himself in the ritual, even though he took more than couple steps back. "Okay brother, but I do want that explained" he said, I know he does. "I will, but later" I said, I need to see my family. I flew back to the farm. I ran behind lois and wrapped my arms around her waist, I snuggled my head into her neck, giving her kisses. "I missed you" I mumbled, I missed her and the boys so much. "I missed you too Clark, how was the ritual and why did it take so long?" She asked, she turned around in my hold and wrapped her hands around my neck. "It was... crazy, and I'm sorry that it took a while, but we can speak of that later, I Just want to spend time with you and our boys alone, when will they get home?" I asked, I do not know the time. At all. "About that... we need to talk" she said, she lightly pushed me away, and I Let her go. "About what?" I asked, Lois went back to folding the washing. "Well... the day after you left, the boys and Nat went to the mines to get X.K" started Lois, they went to the mines? "Lois are they okay?" I interjected, I walked closer to her. "Our are boys safe?" I asked, if they got hurt- "they're okay Clark, don't worry, calm down, our boys and Nat are safe" Asurred Lois, I took a deep breath. They're okay. "but... they found a teenager in the mines" told Lois, a teenager was in the mines? How? "From another universe like Nat, he's been living with me and the boys for two months Now" told Lois, oh my god, that poor kid! Wait... "I've been gone for two months?" I asked, Lois nodded, Two months?! that must be so scary for this kid. "Lois I'm so sorry, I-" I started to apologise, she put her hand on my face. "it's okay Clark, everythings okay, and we can Talk more about it later, like you said" said Lois, I nodded. We will. "Now, tell me about this kid" I said, I should of been here to help them through it. "Well his name is Eli" started Lois, Eli. I love the name but it makes me think of... him. "He's sixteen, he sleep walks and has terrible nightmares on more than one occasion" Continued Lois, sleep walking.. like Eli. Lois folded up something red, I don't think I... recognise that? "Oh and he's took over the barn with Lacrosse stuff" added Lois, he sounds a lot like Eli. That'll be Greaaat. "Can you take this up to his room? He's very attached to it, and I promised it'd be up there when he got back from school" Asked Lois, I nodded and she handed me the red fab-ric... "what?" I breathed, only a Kryptonian would be able to hear that... or maybe a werewolf. "And we need to talk about Jordan" informed Lois, I stared at the red fabric in my hands. It was a T-shirt, no scratch that, a Jersey. It said: beacon hills Lacrosse. 11 hale. Eli's Jersey. "impossible" I whispered under my breath, Eli's a- a figment of my imagination, he has to be, that's how he was in the ritual, the dreams. "Clark, you okay?" Asked Lois, Lois put her hand on my arm. "T-tell me more about.. him" I said, I can't even thahom about saying his name out loud. "Um, well, he has insomnia, he's almost always kind, very helpful, in fact his first week here he- are you okay Clark?" Asked Lois, I was staring hard at the Jersey. "Tell me more, please" I begged, it can't be him. "Well- actually ask him yourself, he and our sons Just arrived" told Lois, it can't be Eli, it can't be him, it can't be- what did she say? I heard the door open. "Mum can we put on nightmare befo- dad!" Said Jordan, I wanted to turn and see my sons, but I couldn't turn my head away from the Jersey in my hands. "Um Dad, this is Eli hale, Eli this is our dad, Clark Kent" introduced Jordan, Hale. Eli hale. I still couldn't make myself turn. "H-hi mister Kent, my name's Eli... and he Just told you that.. and I bet Lois did too.." introduced Eli, I stopped breathing. It's his voice. He sounds so nervous. "Eli?" I asked Quietly, I turned whilst saying it. "Y-yes mis-mister Kent, that's me" answered Eli, my head turned from the Jersey, to him. "It- impossible" I whispered, it's him. He hasn't aged at all, it's my boy, my son, my pup. Eli. "Th-that's mine mister Kent" said Eli, he slowly reached out and grabbed the Jersey out of my hands, my hands stayed as though it hadn't been removed. "Eli?" I said, that was louder than the last times. "Yes mister Kent?" Asked Eli, he nodded Slightly and pulled his Jersey closer to him. He was scared. Of me. Again. "Eli" I said, I wanted to comfort him. But I couldn't make myself move. "I- I'm Eli mister Kent" Asurred Eli, 'mister kent' I don't like that in general, but He's my son. Mister kent isn't for my sons. "Dad are you okay?" Askes Jonathan, I couldn't turn my head to him if I wanted to. "Mister Kent.. Ar-are you okay?" Asked Eli, he can't be him.. but he is.. how can I even ask? "Clark what's wrong?" Asked Lois, I felt her hand on my shoulder. "Mister ken-" started Eli, it has to be him. "wolf pup?" I asked Quietly, he froze up, and I realised he'd already been freezing up the whole time. "Wolf pup?" Mumbled Jonathan, I kept my gaze on Eli. "Eli are you okay?" Asked Jordan, he put his hand on Eli's shoulder "Eli-" Continued Jordan, Eli tilted his head up at me. "Dad?" He Whispered, I felt myself un-tense and tense at the same time. ELI! "Dad?" The boys and Lois asked, they all looked At Eli. Eli's eyes widened, he shrugged off Jordan's hand. "I- i'm so sorry- I-i'll leave now" Said Eli, he started to Walk backwards. No, no, no, no, no! I can't lose him! Not again! "Eli!" I said-yelled, I stepped forward and grabbed him into a hug. "Eli, Eli, Eli, Eli, Eli" I Repeated, I fell to my knees, I held him close, Chanting his name. "D-dad?" he breathed, I pulled myself away from him a little, so I could look him in his eyes. "Ya, it's me wolf pup, it's me" I promised, he collapsed against me "Dad" he sobbed, I tighten my grip against him, I held his head lightly and rubbed his back. "Shhh~ you're okay Eli, You're okay" I soothed, I have him back. I have my son back.
