"Although I am confused about where I come from, this is definitely home."
Hearing David's words, Clark was silent for a moment, and his tone was more serious than ever, as if he was talking to him as well as to himself, "I am very sure of this, David, you, father, and mother are my family."
"That will never change."
There were some things that he used to take for granted, but after almost losing them today, Clark suddenly realized that he should do everything he could to cherish and protect those things, such as family affection and family members...
"Thank you for what you did today, brother."
"Don't expect a few nice words to keep me from telling my mother what you do with this thing all day."
Clark, who has always been a bit introverted, expressed his feelings so directly. David was not used to it for a moment and looked away.
"This astronomical telescope was built to help humans observe the majestic and vast stars in the universe.
Rather than letting people spy on their crushes so they can have some material for their dreams."
"David, I have no such idea."
Clark frantically tried to explain that he didn't have that idea.
"I understand. I understand."
But David, who was so flustered by this sentence, didn't give him the chance at all. He left with an obviously perfunctory remark and turned away.
[Anxiety from Clark +7, embarrassment +4...]
Today was different from the past. A lot of things happened one after another. The Kent couple and Clark had intense emotional ups and downs. David gained a lot of emotional points and his integration degree improved a little.
[Template fusion degree 81% → 83%]
The further back in the template, the harder it is to increase the degree of fusion. At the same time, a little bit of fusion can bring more power than the previous bit.
…
The morning breeze blows through Smallville High School.
Pairs of sneakers came and went briskly, the girls whispered to each other and laughed shyly from time to time, and the boys raised their chins and boasted to their friends.
The campus life is different from the past, and the students' faces are filled with excitement and anticipation.
Tonight is the Spring Dance.
"You didn't come on the school bus with David today, Clark."
Pete asks Clark what's going on.
"There was something. I saved someone and he gave me a gift, but I couldn't accept it." Clark explained: "I went to return the gift this morning."
This morning, he had no complaints and obediently followed his father's instructions to go to Lex Manor, have a polite conversation with Lex Luthor, and return the pickup truck.
"What gift?"
Pete was about to ask more questions with interest.
"That necklace means a lot to me."
A faint voice was heard, and Lana, who was not far away, looked sad and ugly.
Whitney, who was standing next to him, had a Band-Aid on her bruised nose and a swollen forehead. She kept comforting her girlfriend and explaining something.
"What's up with Whitney's face?"
Pete wondered.
"Maybe he fell down because he was drunk?" Clark explained awkwardly after looking at David who looked nonchalant.
"That necklace was carved from a meteorite left behind when my parents died in a meteorite shower when I was a child. My aunt left it to me so that I could remember my parents, but you lost it."
"There were...some drunk people in the bar who were deliberately causing trouble, and we had a fight with them, and after the fight we found that the necklace had disappeared.
Lana, I promise to get it back."
Clark's extraordinary hearing allowed him to hear the conversation between the two, and he frowned at Whitney's lies to Lana.
After hearing the origin of Lana's necklace again, he hesitated, gritted his teeth and looked at David with a pleading look in his eyes, and opened his mouth to say something.
"You are so kind, Clark."
David looked a little helpless, having guessed what he wanted to say, and turned away.
Although Thanos's super hearing is far inferior to that of Kryptonians, this distance is not a problem for him.
Needless to say, Clark was reluctant to give up the opportunity to speak freely with the girl of his dreams.
But he still decided to return the necklace to Lana.
Even if the necklace was returned, the emotional rift between Lana and Whitney would be immediately eliminated, which would help Whitney, but he would also lose his chance.
"Too kind, worthy of being the future superman."
David could only comment on this.
…
Before the evening dance.
Clark kept pestering David to get the necklace.
David responded perfunctorily.
Why should we send back the kryptonite we have obtained?
In addition, Clark kept requesting and kept earning emotional points.
At the dance.
Chloe, who was not invited to dance with a partner, had to form a group with Pete to avoid embarrassment.
As for David and Clark, neither of them cared about it.
Melodious music, in the middle of the bright dance floor.
Pairs of young men and women in formal attire, their eyes meeting, smiles on their faces, like birds slowly dancing.
At the long dining table.
David picked up a piece of dessert and tasted it.
"Look at that. Your dream girl is dancing with another man's arms around her waist."
He pointed at the most eye-catching pair in the middle with his fork and chuckled to Clark who was continuously requesting beside him.
"Even so, you still want to return the necklace?"
Clark looked at the center of the dance floor, feeling as if he had eaten a lemon and his heart was sour.
Even though she was a little angry, Lana, who was unaware of the situation, did not reject Whitney's invitation to the dance after being comforted by Whitney's reassurance that she was lying and had completely absolved herself of any responsibility.
Under the envious gazes of everyone, the two looked into each other's eyes affectionately and danced slowly. They were the most dazzling couple in the middle of the dance floor.
The person she likes dresses up for the ball, but not for him.
He was just an inconspicuous and invisible person standing on the edge of the dance.
"That was Lana's necklace, David."
Clark couldn't hide the disappointment in his tone, but he still said it.
David was somewhat impressed by Clark and didn't want to make things worse for the poor man.
"Okay, I'll give it to you tomorrow."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have a chance anyway. Lana is not the right one for you."
Clark's face lit up with joy, but when he heard this he asked why she said that.
Suddenly, the fire alarm on the ceiling above the school auditorium was triggered, and the water in the pipes poured down like heavy rain.
"ah!"
"Where does the water come from?"
"The fire alarm has been triggered, where is the fire?!"
With screams, everyone in the auditorium was caught off guard and became drenched. Their delicate makeup was soaked and their hair styles fixed with hair wax collapsed. Everyone was in a mess and panic.
The snacks in his hands were soaked. David looked at his wet clothes and his face turned unhappy.
"Is it an accident?"
Clark looked around quickly but saw no fire or even smoke.
"Is the fire alarm broken?"
Or was the master control outside triggered?
Bang!
At this moment, the door of the auditorium was suddenly kicked open.
Clear footsteps were heard.
Swish!
"God has said that everyone is born with original sin."
As everyone in the room fell silent and looked over here, a thin, hooded figure walked in. He raised his head and revealed a cold face. Dazzling electric currents like silver snakes shot out of his hands, and a burnt smell wafted through the air.
"Although my target this time is not all of you, but..."
Amid the horrified and puzzled looks of the crowd, he paused, and then pressed his hand, which was carrying a powerful electric current that could melt steel, hard onto the wet ground.
"I don't mind helping you cleanse your sins in advance!"
