Then again, it would make sense if that's why the original Clark trusted Kara with the Danvers.
Rather than it just being some random unrelated people, in this case, Clark Kent is her literal cousin by law.
It would also explain why she directly said that Clark was her cousin on multiple occasions in the show.
There are other versions where the Kents take care of Kara directly. To be totally honest, Clark should've just adopted his cousin as a daughter in the situation where he was like in his twenties when her pod arrived on Earth.
I'm running out of time. Knowing my luck, I highly doubt that Kara will be showing up alone.
And if she doesn't show up, then I'm even more fucked, because I'll have to go out into the hellscape of DC Universe space to try to find my damn cousin. I've been slacking. I know I haven't really been slacking, but it feels like I have!
I haven't even been saving random people from random bullshit. I've just been training, studying and having fun with Lena the past few years.
I know this might sound stupid, but I need Kryptonite. Where the hell is all the damn Kryptonite?
It was everywhere in the TV Show, but in this world… I haven't seen or heard anything about it yet. There's always the possibility that Lex found it first and hoarded it all, but I doubt it.
"I should really bury the hatchet with my little sister…" Dad sighed and shook his head, "I'll give her a call tomorrow morning."
"I haven't talked to my father in a while either." Mom smiled wryly as she looked at me, that look in her eyes…
"What's your father's name?" I asked, hoping it wasn't a name I recognized.
"William Clark… We named you after my maiden name." She chuckled and reached out to ruffle my hair, which I had to consciously think about to prevent her from pricking her fingers.
"Doesn't sound familiar." I didn't remember the name, but that didn't mean he was a nobody.
"He's a Lawyer in Starling City. Last I heard from him, he was working for Merlyn Global Group."
In other words, my grandfather was involved with Malcolm Merlyn? Of course he was. And now I'm officially connected to Lex Luthor in the eyes of the media.
Well, again. They probably didn't give a shit when I was 4 years old, especially since Dad kept my appearance out of the news as much as possible. Now it's the era of the internet though.
Unlike the TV Show, Smallville generally doesn't have that many supernatural or ridiculous events. It's literally just a small town in the middle of Kansas. If Lex Luthor didn't have a damn castle here, there really wouldn't be anything that would draw people's attention to the town. At least not that I've found yet.
Doesn't mean that things are perfect or idyllic though. As my senses get sharper and more powerful, I've had a hard time averting my eyes to humanity's darkness…
…
As I sat on the roof of the barn and meditated in the snowy weather, even with my senses suppressed to a nearly human level, I could still hear screaming in the distance.
It was close. I looked over towards the closest house to us. It was literally our next door neighbors, but they were half a mile away at least.
"Stop! Get off Mommy!" A little girl was screaming. I narrowed my eyes and instantly saw through the distant house.
"Shut the fuck up!" A tall man smacked the kid so hard that she went straight to the carpet.
"You bastard! I'll fucking kill you!" Then the black-haired woman punched the man in the face and kneed him in the balls, but this wasn't a TV Show.
"Cheating bitch!" The dude grabbed her throat with his left hand and slammed her down onto the couch, punching her in the face as he shouted, "You stupid cunt! You thought I wouldn't figure it out?! I got a fucking paternity test! That little whore isn't even my daughter!"
"Ugk-guh-agk~!" The woman didn't really say much on account of being punched in the face repeatedly.
"Mommy!" The poor kid screamed and tried to stop her father, well, apparently her non-biological Dad, but she was elbowed in the face and knocked on her ass.
As I watched, things started slowing down dramatically. I took a deep breath and considered the situation for a moment. What should I do? Obviously it'd be best to help the mother and daughter. But how exactly?
I felt my eyes burning as his fist approached the woman's bloodied and battered face again.
"Shit!" Was all I could say as I watched the man's head explode. Boiling blood and brains splattered all over the woman and the little girl, while the bones and flesh were already vaporized.
"Aaaaaaah~!" The little girl screamed her lungs out while the woman was also screaming after she regained some consciousness. I hopped down and darted over there, within a second I was already in the room.
I found a clean towel and quickly wiped the blood from their faces before they received serious burns.
Then I grabbed the headless corpse and went back out the door, closing it behind me. Carrying the corpse in my right hand, I kept going until I reached a small lake nearby.
"Shit, shit, fuck." I cursed as I tried to use my eye beams again, but they wouldn't work. Probably because it was the middle of the night? I've already used them twice today and it's my first day. Didn't think they'd have a goddamn cooldown or trigger randomly!
I calmed my breathing a bit and looked at the twitching corpse I tossed onto the snow.
Blood was oozing everywhere.
