Next.

Noon.

Clark sat alone on the fence of Kent Farm, looking out from afar.

His face was full of confusion and sadness, revealing mixed emotions.

Just an hour earlier, he had a heated argument with his father, Jonathan.

The reason is that Clark had previously saved Lex Luthor, who had fallen into the river.

As a token of gratitude, the other party sent a brand new sports car.

A young high school student with a stylish, expensive, and cool sports car is the perfect gift.

Even Clark couldn't help but feel excited.

Superman, who has a perfect character, is in a naïve and confused adolescence, and is no different from ordinary people.

Longing for the approval of others, wanting to be the star of the school and winning the hearts of your crush......

A sports car can change a lot of things.

But Jonathan doesn't think so.

The son's courage and good character are something to be admired.

But doing good deeds should not be rewarded for doing good, even if the other party takes the initiative to give.

Jonathan is a man of a fairly high moral level, who can be called an exemplary figure.

But because of this, as his son, Clark sometimes feels very depressed.

"I didn't jump in to save someone when Lex fell into the river, and his car hit me at sixty miles an hour."

The emotions that Clark had suppressed in his heart, couldn't hold back any longer, and finally burst out.

"And now I'm standing in front of you well, you always say let me be a normal person, but is this normal?"

"I can't participate in any sports, I don't have any friends at school, I have to learn to hide myself...... If I can become a normal person, I am willing to give everything. ”

Jonathan watched his son run upstairs to the barn, which was a private property belonging to Clark.

He once named it "Fortress of Solitude".

In desperation, Jonathan realizes that it is time to tell Clark the truth.

So he found his son and told him about the meteorite rain that happened seventeen years ago, and the spaceship that crashed on Kent Farm.

This caused Clark to almost have his brain shut down.

Whoever suddenly learns that he is not born to his parents and is an alien will probably be in an unacceptable state of collapse like him.

Although Clark had tried countless times to learn the truth from his parents.

Regarding his superpowers, those special things that are different from ordinary people.

But when the truth came, he was not so happy.

Looking at the high-tech spaceship in the barn, Clark didn't know what expression to make.

When old questions are answered, new questions arise.

Who the hell is he?

Where are his biological parents?

Where is he from?

…… There were so many questions that Clark's mind was like a ball of yarn that he couldn't sort out at all.

"People are afraid of things they don't understand, so I can't let you show what you're capable of."

Jonathan spoke earnestly and said to Clark, "You are the answer, child, to the question of whether humans live alone in the universe." ”

"I don't want to do this answer!"

Clarke's expression was a little pained, and there were tears in his eyes.

He's got used to everything on Earth, everything in Kansas, everything in town.

But now he was told that none of this belonged to him.

Psychologically fragile, Clarke, who has not grown, cannot accept it.

He jumped out of the window and quickly disappeared from Jonathan's sight.

……

……

The autistic boy Clark sat on the railing, looking up at a forty-five degree angle and looking at the darkening sky.

As night fell, a few stars loomed.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, a dark red cloth obscured his vision.

Subconsciously move your gaze, cape, combat boots, uniform...... Luke?

The opponent's feet are off the ground, suspended in mid-air.

The dark red cloak on the back fluttered like a rolling wave.

Compared to the gentleness and kindness when they met during the day, Luke at this time was full of oppression and majesty.

"You...... Can fly? ”

Clark, whose mind was still stuck in normal humans, looked surprised as if he had seen an alien.

"What's so surprising about that?"

Luke had stopped above and been observing his little cousin Krypton for a while.

He lives next to Kent Farm, which is kind of a next-door neighbor.

For Superman's super hearing, the previous father-son quarrel was like only a layer of cardboard.

It falls in the ears and is heard clearly.

"Clark, you are infinitely powerful, you have a body of steel, you can open your senses, you can even hear all the sounds of the whole town, your vision is like an X-ray, you can see through flesh and blood, and you can see the flesh and blood organs in the human body......"

Luke landed slowly, looked directly at Clark with a confused face, and said softly: "Compared to the above, I can fly, is it anything surprising?" ”

Clark was speechless, not knowing how to answer.

Even though he had a vague feeling as if something was wrong, Luke had a point.

"Wait! How would you know...... Those? ”

Clark, who was a little sluggish, turned his mind several times before he suddenly reacted.

The secret that he and his parents had kept secret for a long time seemed to have been exposed.

"Because I have all the abilities I just mentioned."

Luke showed the kind of elder's confused smile and said lightly: "Stupid little cousin, haven't you realized the problem until now?" ”

"We come from the same place, belong to the same race, and have similar abilities."

"You should even call me, dear big cousin."

Luke's words, like a bombshell, rained down, leaving Clark dizzy and his ears ringing.

He learned too many unbelievable truths today, and he was caught off guard and heard even more shocking news.

It's like an antique Pentium computer trying to drive Cyberpunk 2077.

What the end will be, naturally self-evident.

Faintly, Luke saw a wisp of smoke rising from his little cousin's head.

It seems that the already inadequate brain has been burned out.

“…… Big cousin? ”

Dozens of minutes later, Clarke, who had calmed down, had a strange expression.

He is currently in a state of half-believing, and his emotional mind tells himself that this is all fake!

But rational thinking keeps reminding you that this is probably true.

"Of course, I'm your eldest cousin who has been separated for many years and finally met."

With a serious face, Luke began to talk nonsense.

"Clark, I came to this planet before you."

"You've probably heard of the mysterious crater that once crashed into Kent Farm, and that's where my ship landed."

Clark was even more convinced, as there had been a meteorite fall on Kent Farm before him.

It's just that there is no residue at the scene, and it once became a strange incident in the town.

There were also rumors that some kind of parasitic alien embryo was lurking in the town, ready to hunt everyone, causing a brief panic.

"So what is our planet called, and where are my biological parents? What's my name......"

Clark had a long set of questions on his mind, and he looked at Luke expectantly, eager to get answers from the other party.

"Don't worry, Clark, let's talk about them one by one."

Luke waved his hand, signaling his little cousin to relax and not be too impatient.

The corners of his mouth hooked, as if he thought of some kind of interesting picture, and said softly: "You are actually a Saiyan from the planet Vegeta, named 'Kakarot', who was sent to Earth as a low-level warrior on a mission. ”

"Kakarot? Lower-level fighters? ”

Clark frowned slightly and repeated it.

How does it feel weird......

"That's right, one of the hallmarks of being a Saiyan is that when anger rises, the hair changes color."

Luke nodded vigorously and said in the affirmative.

"When the time comes, you will awaken the powerful power in your body - Clark, if you want to become a qualified Saiyan, you have to dye your hair green, this is the fashion trend of our Saiyans."

"That big cousin, why your hair?"

Clark touched the small tuft of curly hair, a little hesitant.

Dyeing your hair in a conservative town is not a good choice.

What if you are identified as a hippie?

"I personally don't like that color, but it suits you."

Luke said with a smile, his eyes full of sincerity.
