New Earth: Superman and Lois

Chapter 2

When Clark walked into the lobby, he froze, since while he knew that his parents were there, seeing it was a completely different thing. And he could tell that his parents were both in similar states at the sight of him.

"Well, go talk to them." Kara said gently to him, knowing she shouldn't push Clark too hard, but the suspense was killing her.

Fortunately, her words seemed to snap him out of his shock.

"Mom, dad." Clark said as he began to walk towards them.

"Kal." Lara said as she broke into a normal speed run and threw her arms around her son's neck and held him closely to her.

"Hi mom." Clark said, not bothering to correct her, since there was no one else around and honestly, he was just as overcome by emotion as she was.

"My beautiful boy. I've missed you so much." Lara said as she placed her hands on either side of his face as she let her tears of joy run down her face at finally being reunited with the son she hadn't seen since he was a baby.

"You don't know how many times I've dreamed of this happening. Meeting you." Clark said, trying to keep his own tears from falling from being hugged by his birth mother for the first time in his life.

"Hello son." Jor-El said, finally getting their attention.

"Dad." Clark said as he reluctantly pulled away from his mother and moved towards his father.

"Kara told us so much about you on our way to this planet. I'm so proud of you." Jor-El said with a smile as he then hugged his son.

"I missed you dad. I mean, I've read everything I could about you and mom from the archives in the Fortress and Kara has told me stories, but they couldn't replace you." Clark said.

"I know son. And if we'd known that the shield I created for Kandor was going to work, we wouldn't have sent you away." Jor-El said with a smile as they pulled apart and Lara and Kara rejoined them.

"Kara also mentioned that she wasn't the only family you'd found on this planet." Lara said.

"Yeah. I'll need to call Ma tomorrow, since she's likely asleep by now." Clark Kent.

"You are referring to Martha Kent correct?" Jor-El asked and Clark nodded.

"She raised me my entire life. For a long time, she was the only family I had, after Pa died and before Kara crashed on Earth." Clark said.

"And I intend on thanking her for it, though I know it will be difficult for you to adjust to having two mothers." Lara said.

"Yeah, I mean, it's different then when I discovered Argo. While Eliza may have been my foster mother, I never called her mom, just like how I never called Jeremiah dad. I was old enough to remember my parents. But you Clark, honestly, aside from the AI holograms of your dad in the Fortress, this is the first time you've ever met your birth parents. Before today, Martha Kent was the only mother you'd ever known. It'll take a lot more time for you to adjust to that." Kara said.

"I know." Clark said, right as they heard the door open.

"And speaking of family." Kara said Lois Lane walked in.

"Lois." Clark said with a smile as Lois made her way over to her.

"Kara told me, but I still can't say I truly believed it." Lois said.

"You must be Lois Lane." Lara said.

"You know me?" Lois asked.

"I brought Clark's parents up to speed on everything I knew about his life on the trip back to the Earth and well, I can't really do that without telling them about you." Kara said.

"From what we've heard, it sounds like while you may not have super powers, you're a hero in your own right." Jor-El said and Lois blushed.

"He's not wrong." Clark said and Kara nodded in agreement.

"I'm proud to be welcoming you into the House of El." Jor-El said.

"So they know." Clark said and Kara nodded.

"Yes, I told them that you two are getting married and I heavily emphasized how overdue it is." Kara said and Clark rolled his eyes.

"I have to admit, if the stories Kara told us are anything to go on regarding your relationship, it does sound like Kal waited an awfully long time to ask you to marry him." Lara said.

"I know. When he asked me I didn't say yes, I said it's about time." Lois said.

"I can't believe this. You've been here 5 minutes and you're already ganging up on me with my fiance." Clark said and Kara laughed.

"Get used to it. If you hadn't waited so long to propose to Lois, you wouldn't be in this mess." Kara said simply.

"Kara, I really do not need you joining in." Clark said as his father patted his shoulder.

"Get used to it son." Jor-El said.

"Kara, do your parents know about this?" Clark asked.

"They do and they said that they'll be here as soon as they can." Kara said.

"I can't wait to see Zor-El again." Jor-El said.

"And he can't wait to see you either. However, considering how long I've been gone, I need to be getting back to National City. Besides, I don't want to intrude on this family time. I'll let you know when my parents and we'll get together." Kara said and Clark nodded.

"Go, be with your husband. And National City needs Supergirl. Now more than ever." Clark said.

"That sounds ominous. What am I missing?" Kara asked.

"Let's just say the last article you posted had the expected outcome." Clark said and now Kara understood.

"Copy that. I'll call you tomorrow." Kara said as she headed out.

"What was that about?" Lara asked.

"It's a long story. Why don't we head back to our apartment and I'll tell you everything." Clark said and his parents nodded as Clark made sure to properly close the office before he and Lois led his parents out and towards their apartment.

Okay, now back to the normal story order. Next post will be to New Earth: Arrow
