xi. A Brief Reminiscence In-Between Cataclysmic Events

Cameron landed next to his father at the second fortress out in the desert, while he was nodding quickly at his father and also at Leslie Larr, who had swiftly met them there. "Mother. Father." He said coldly now as Tal-Rho sighed.

"Must you be so cold with me, Kam-Rho? I simply wish to return our people now, to their rightful places, on top." Tal-Rho stated and Cameron shook his head.

"My name is Cameron." He replied coldly and Tal-Rho simply nodded at the words, as he understood that there was no way to argue about it, before they were swiftly just walking into the fortress.

After finding out where the Fortress of Solitude was, Tal-Rho was racing after his half-brother and silently, Cameron was swiftly going back to Smallville.

"How dare you come here?!" Tiana was shouting at Cameron, who lifted his hands up quickly.

"My father is going after Kal-El. I can't stop him alone, he is going to kill him or worse and I can't help him!" Cameron pleaded and Tiana was staring at him right now, before she was turning to look around to look at Trevor.

Trevor walked out of the house and then quickly, he was staring at Tiana. "Go and see the boys for a minute, yeah?" Trevor asked quietly and she nodded, before she walked up to the house and walked into the house and carefully now, she was just shutting the door behind her.

"I didn't want to hurt anybody, Trev. But he didn't give me a choice, he would have tortured both of you to get me to cooperate." Cameron whispered and Trevor watched him, before he flashed over and he punched him square in the jaw.

Unfortunately for him, all it did was break Trevor's hand as Cameron sighed quietly at the words, before he nodded. "Unlike Jordan, I am fully Kryptonian." Cameron explained quietly and Trevor was clenching his fist quickly, until it was healing.

"What... What is your real name?" Trevor questioned and Cameron sighed, before he was opening his jacket and the symbol was clear.

"My father named me "Kam-Rho" and honestly, I don't know what it means. But I am also the son of Leslie Larr." Cameron admitted quietly. "Or, well... I guess, the Kryptonian that has swiftly already been inside of her mind... For nearly 23 years."

"Why would you help us?" Trevor asked softly and then Cameron was quickly just zipping up his jacket again, shaking his head.

"Because my father tortured me. What my father Tal-Rho put me through was an attempt to rob me of all empathy, of all these human emotions. Compassion and empathy, emotional intelligence and the same understanding that allows you, your sister and the Kents to understand one another." Cameron was quickly just shaking his head at the words. "Please, you have to do whatever it takes. Let me help, please." He said and Trevor blinked.

"What would make you stop?" Trevor questioned softly and Cameron winced before he closed his eyes, as tears were running down his face. "Cameron?" He asked quietly and quickly, Cameron was opening his eyes again.

"Ask me anything about my father and I will answer it, I swear to fucking god. Ask me about my father, I'll answer..."

"Is that him?" Trevor asked. "Tiana!" He shouted and Cameron disappeared into the barn silently, readying for a fight and Tiana was racing out in front of the Kents, who had just returned home.

"Jon, stay back." Tiana said very quietly as Jon was stepping forward, but Tiana pushed him backwards and her entire body glowed brightly, pulsing with yellow lightning. "Get away from them!" She shouted at Tal-Rho as he scoffed.

"You truly are pathetic, aren't you? A pair of siblings, speedsters with the powers of young gods. And yet all that you do, is protect these pathetic humans." Tal-Rho snapped very coldly and Tiana's eyes flashed.

Tiana and Trevor were completely in sync and on point, for the first time in years and they were circling Tal-Rho with lightning flashing all around them.

Both of them threw lightning at the same time and Tal-Rho stumbled backwards, but he was still standing and they were staring at him.

Before both of them sped forwards and unfortunately, Tal-Rho saw them coming and each of them were both being lifted up off the ground, one in each of his hands and Tal-Rho scoffed. "You two, you both are truly pathetic." He said quietly and they were both hitting his hands, both of them were trying to get him to release his grip and then, the twins were both shouting behind them desperately.

Tiana phased out of his grip and she staggered, backing away as Tal-Rho looked over at her. "That is truly impressive. Tiana Allen, was it?" Tal-Rho questioned and now, she had no breath left to speak and now, she could barely move. "Unfortunately now, you have left your brother in my grasp."

Trevor choked in pain and Tal-Rho was quickly letting go of him, before he caught him by the shoulder. "No!" Tiana was choking out a cry of agony, just before Trevor's heart was thrown onto the dirt.

Tiana screamed in pain as Jon and Jordan were restraining her, before she was crying and sobbing in pain. "No!" She cried out and a blast of heat vision, was what eventually sent Tal-Rho running with Clark in his grasp and Tiana pushed the boys away.

Tiana was quickly flashing forward to her brother's body as now, she was just sobbing with grief and she cried out.

"I am so sorry." Cameron whispered and Tiana stared up at him, before she was just shaking her head.

"Did you really care about him, that much?" Tiana asked and he was looking over at her, before he knelt down next to the body and Cameron sighed quietly.

"He was the first person who showed me that... That the way my father raised me was not normal." Cameron whispered and then, she was nodding quickly. "I swear to you, here and now. That I will kill my father for this, do you understand?"

"Yeah." Tiana whispered and she was looking at the body, before she turned her head to look at the DOD that was arriving on the doorstep.

Tiana walked into the house and she felt like every step was laden with weight and then, she was shaking.

She went upstairs and she was silently sitting down, holding her head in her hands as she was rocking back and forth. She felt arms around her and she looked up, feeling Jon's familiar hug and she was sobbing with pain.
