Resistant • Jonathan Kent

xii. Through the Valley of Death

They hadn't moved at all, since they had gone upstairs. Jon and Tiana were holding one another, not wanting to move from one another's arms as they clung to one another and she was continuing to quietly cry.

"I didn't know your brother for very long but, he seemed like a good guy." Jon said as he was looking at her, as Tiana's head rested on his chest, as now, she was listening to his heartbeat. "Tiana?"

"I don't want to talk about it." Tiana whispered softly and then Jon nodded quickly, before he was gently tracing his thumb along the back of her hand. "Please just stay." She murmured and Jon leaned down and he kissed the top of her head, as she was closing her eyes.

"You are laying down in my bed and in my room right now, remember?" Jon murmured quietly and her grip tightened on his hand, a bit and instead now, they were carefully just lacing their fingers together. "I have no intention of leaving you, Tiana. Ever." He said softly and she looked up at him, before they were kissing again.

"Jon, oh yuck!" Jordan burst into the room and they broke apart, as Tiana ended up on the other side of the room.

"Jordan! Knocking is not optional!" Jon snapped at his twin, while Tiana was staring between the two, wondering how she fit into this conversation.

"Besides, how is it considered to be gross when now, you have got a girlfriend of your own?" Tiana said and Jordan sighed.

"He killed your brother, he tossed me around like a ragdoll and he took our dad like it was nothing. What are we going to do?" Jordan asked and then, a sharp knock on the window scared all of them.

Tiana got up and then she quietly walked over to the window, before she sighed and she opened it as Cameron climbed in. "You can't phase through windows?" She asked sarcastically and Cameron rolled his eyes.

"You are the one who phases through things like they aren't there, not me." He noted and she shrugged, sitting back down next to Jon again. "You are no match for a full Kryptonian as it stands, Jordan Kent. I might have a chance against my father..."

"Might?" Jordan asked and Cameron sighed, before he lifted his shoulders in a shrug.

"I simply do not know." Cameron admitted freely as he took a seat at Jonathan's desk as he was looking at them all. "My father has been absorbing the radiation from this sun, for longer than I have been alive. Hell, your father has done the same. But my father, he feels no pain. I may be able to fight him, but whether I would be able to defeat him is another matter entirely." He said and Tiana sighed.

"What would you need to defeat him?" She asked and he glanced over at her. "To defeat him and potentially, to give you an advantage in a fight against him. What would you need? What could we get for your fight, that would help?" Tiana asked.

"What is the weakness that all Kryptonians share caused by Kal-El's timely arrival on this lovely planet?" Cameron asked and Tiana sighed.

"We don't have any kryptonite. With Clark and Jordan around, it would kill them both if we kept any here..."

"Your brother kept some at STAR Labs." She groaned at the words, pinching the bridge of her nose as she sighed.

"Of course, of course he did." She muttered and she was looking down at her hands for a brief moment. "How much of it, realistically, would you need?" Tiana questioned.

"How about just enough from STAR Labs to kill us both now?" Tiana sighed at the words and she was shaking her head. "Not even a day ago, you were willing to kill me."
