The Slayer and The Kryptonian

Chapter 4

Walking home after school, Thursday

Chloe and Willow walked home everyday together, considering they were neighbors and best friends it seemed like the most logical thing to do. Every day they walked home together and usually nothing out of the ordinary happened, today was the exception. As Chloe and Willow walked home they came across a crime scene. Chloe’s mind was racing with curiosity while Willow was a little woozy at the whole experience. They walked as close as they could get to it and stood behind the yellow tape. “Oh my God.” Chloe said as she looked on at the body of the teenage boy she recognized. “Is that Gage?” Willow asked as she put her hand to her mouth in shock. Chloe looked around and saw what looked like to be Jesse. He was standing in the distance and chuckling to himself. He looked at her, stopped, and waved, before completely disappearing out of sight. Chloe had gone completely pale at the thought that Jesse had killed Gage and no one had seen Larry in days. “Chloe he has the marks.” Willow said whispering to her journalist friend. Chloe looked back at the body and noticed the two little holes on Gage’s neck, and suddenly things started to click and everything reverted back to her wall-of-weird.

“How is it that all of the blood left his body but he died from being electrocuted?” The cop asked the coroner. Chloe looks at Willow and confirms her curiosity. “This is going straight onto the wall-of-weird.” Chloe says marching in the direction back to the school as Willow follows.    

At the Kent Farm

Clark was just reaching his house when he saw the beautiful bright red truck in his driveway. He reached out and slid his hand down the hood and then rushed inside the house with a huge goofy grin on his face. Once he entered he was met with a very stern and serious look from his dad.

“Where did the truck come from?” Clark asked his dad as he handed him a note that said from Lex Luthor.

“You can’t keep it.” Jonathan said. With a no questions asked attitude.

“What? Why?” Clark asked anyway.

“Because it came from the Luthors and everything that comes from the Luthors always comes with a price.” Jonathan replied.

“But…”

“No buts Clark. Lionel Luthor is immoral and he ruins people’s lives.” Jonathan said

“You can’t judge Lex because of things his father did in the past.” Clark said. Defending the man he knew very little about.

“Clark you can’t afford to be any kind of friends with these people. If they find out what you are or where you came from the res...” Jonathan was cut off by a fusing Clark.

“They’ll find out what? I don’t even know what I am! Or where I came from. And I have all these powers that I have to keep secret from everyone I know.” Clark said getting more upset by the minute. “Jonathan can see how damaged keeping Clark in the dark has done and decides to tell him everything. He walks over to Clark and puts a hand on his shoulder.

“Clark, your real parents weren’t exactly from around…here.” Jonathan said.

“What are trying to tell me dad… That I’m from another planet? And you stashed my spaceship in the attic” Clark asked sarcastically.

“Actually it’s in the storm cellar.” Jonathan said. They walk out to the storm cellar and Clark realizes that his father was in fact telling the truth. “You arrived in it during the meteor shower.” Jonathan said stepping closer and putting his hand on Clarks shoulder. Clark shakes him off and turns around to face him.

“How could you not tell me about this?” Clark asked barely in a whisper.

“We didn’t want you to think you were any different from everyone else.” Jonathan said.
