superman & lois x daughter reader part 6/ep 6 broken trust
When my alarm went off i slowly sat up and remembered what happened the day of the harvest fest Friday morning, recounting the red paint being splashed on me in front of everyone and feeling of being laughed at.
I heavily debated if i wanted to stay home from school, when i slowly sat up suddenly the length from my bed to my closet seemed twice as long. Like down a short hallway, I took a deep breath and turned off my alarm
"what if i run into a wall and half lie about not controlling my super speed and stay home?" i thought sitting on the edge of my bed
"no he'd either take me to the fortress or send me to school then spy on me" i thought
"but after the fortress visit he'd probably ground me or push to know what's going on at school"
I layed back on my bed and turned my head towards the door my eyes widened as an idea popped into my head
"orrr i can fake being sick!" i said
I went into my camera roll on my phone and scrolled up for the video i saved a while back that i used once before "okay hang upside down for a bit to sound fatigued"
I layed half way off my bed with my chest to my head hanging off the bed for just over a minute.
"1...2...3.." i counted before i slowly lifted myself up
When i got up i held my head as the room started spinning and the crown of my head started to tighten
"oh i did that too long" i whined
"lets get this over with"
I took a deep breath and weakly called out "uhh...dad?"
when i leaned forward Dad knocked on my door and came in
"hey you okay?" he asked me
"no...my head is killing me..." i took i deep breath and continued
"and im super dizzy" i whined
"oh ill in sick for you" he said
"do you want to eat now or later" he asked
"now but ill be down in a bit" i replied
"ok it will be ready when you are" he said
Dad left my room and closed my door on the way out, when the door closed i felt a huge wave of relief
"hardest parts over now just need to act like this until at least four and im good" i thought.
I unplugged my phone and laptop then got my diary out and hid it under my pillow for now. Then i got up to the bathroom and got a bottle of pills and stuffed it into my pocket to really sell the look.
When i left the Bathroom to join Dad and the twin's for breakfast i accidentally used my super speed again, tripping down the stair's and face planted onto the floor.
"okay ive got to tell dad about this" i told myself
"ow ow ow" i wined looking like a starfish on the floor, i dusted myself off and headed to the kitchen.
When dad passed me my food and juice i rested my head on my arms and just looked down hunched over
"thanks" i mumbled picking up my fork
"you okay?" Dad asked Jordan
"yeah It's just a headache" Jordan said
"oh great we are both unwell" i said as i passed him the Tylenol bottle.
This is amazing he wont suspect a thing, i think ill sleep in for a bit i wonder what else i can get away with
"hey Jordan how would you feel about sitting out tomorrow's game?" Dad asked
"why?" Jordan asked
"he cant...he's like one of the best players" i backed him up
"yea but for one, you might still be affected by what happened with Tag" Dad explained
"well what does that have to do with football?" Jordan asked
"yeah Dad, I mean look..it's Metropolis okay?" Jon said
"This is literally the biggest game of the season It's our old school. I mean–" Jon pushed back
"they have to show how much better they are" i added
"Yeah I know. I get that..?" dad said
"but until we have this under control, we've got to be careful" he added
"Dad, I have to play in this game It's really important to me" said Jordan
"Please?" he begged
"You promise you're 100% healthy?" Dad pushed
The two went back and forth with Jordan insisting that he is fine while Dad double checked with each of his answers
"Then after school, you're gonna prove it" Dad told Jordan
"let me know when he does well" i said as i looked up and half smiled at Jordan
"im not about to stand outside and watch though" i added then looked back down
When i finished eating i took back the pill bottle and got up to leave the table.
"your not even going to try and toughen it out?" Jordan asked me as he and Jon were waiting for dad to drive them to school
"i mean if it was JUST a headache sure...but its not" i lied to him as i was standing on the bend of the stairs looking down on him
"its not like im missing a test or anything" i added
"okay let's go" Dad told the twin's
"y/n go lay down ill be back soon" he told me
"okay" i replied "see you later" i told the twins, i turned around and headed to my Room.
When i got there i threw my robe on the chair, got back into bed threw my comforter back on, grabbed my plushie and went back to sleep.
I was out for a little bit until Dad woke me up again
"hey you okay" he asked as he stepped into my room
"i guess i kinda feel..nauseous though" i lied "i just want to sleep" i added
"okay if you need me just call" he instructed
"i will" i said as i closed my eyes and turned on my side and went back to sleep
Throughout the day Mom and Dad took turns checking in on me every so often
"you okay?" "do you need anything?" "any other symptoms popping up?" is what i heard all morning. All i lied about was a headache, dizziness and nausea its not like i have the flu or sepsis, or dying of the plague.
At around noon Dad made me lunch
"is anything else going on?" he asked me when i sat down as he made me tea
Dad then passed me my mug and bowl of soup
"does being tired count?" i asked
Dad paused for a moment then sat across from me and asked me
"hey, since Jordan's headache has something to do with his powers i was wondering if the same thing was happening with you" he went on
"have you had any new powers pop up recently or super strength re-surging?" he asked
"or are you just unwell?" he added
I took a moment and looked at my tea
"um-" i said then i took a deep breath, its time.
"yeah maybe the power thing" i said looking up at him
"i got super speed at school"
Before he could say anything
"but! no one knew..." i added
"what happened" he sternly asked me
"at school after one of the boys in my class was messing around with my laptop it kinda grew into an argument and i said things i regretted but it made things worse" I told him
But he got considered and worried
"and at recess he really wanted to fight but i didn't and tried to apologise and i just ran behind a corner and tried to go inside but i used some sort of super speed and went to the wash room" i continued
"so thats why you asked me that in the truck.." he replied
"was that all?" he asked me
"uhh...i ran into a wall here the day grandpa left after Jordan and Jon's game" i admitted
A shocked expression grew on Dads face
"thats all right?" he asked
"no, i ran and tripped down the stairs this morning" i said before taking another sip of tea
"that differently made everything worse" i added
"okay we need to get you to the fortress-" Dad express standing up before i cut him off
"can we wait till after the game and when i feel better i don't feel like going out today" i begged
Dad sighed "fine, but its very important that you go" he stated
i Knodded and started eating
Later on Dad told me he was going to take me with them to the Game with the twins and
"watch over your speed until we can go to the Fortress"
When i was packing my bag for Metropolis i made two outfits, stuffed in some pyjamas and my diary. Then i got a pouch and headed to the Bathroom to grab my wash cloth, tooth brush tooth paste and face wash. When i walked down the hall i remembered what Dad was saying about Jordan
"should i ask him?" i thought to myself as i was stuffing my things into the bag.
"i think i should" i thought
I dropped the mini bag into my backpack and headed over to Jordan's room
"hey, can i ask you like two things?" i asked knocking on his door frame
"uh sure what are they?" he replied pausing his video game while i walked in just in front of the door
"its power stuff and school but don't tell dad please?" i begged
"don't tell dad what?" Jon asked
"have either of you had random power experiences?" i asked the two
"nothing outside of heat vision" Jordan answered
"oh cause i have super speed now and had it for a while" i said
"since when?" Jordan asked
"dad doesn't know?" Jon asked
"i first used it at school the same day Jordan went back to school He knows about that" i said
"then i ran into a wall and used it again in school on Friday before harvest fest and fell down the stairs this morning" i added
"but he doesn't know about Friday" i added
"im scared to tell him he might turn into a helicopter dad and he is already trying to take me to the fortress and i only pushed it back since i lied about being sick today" i admitted
"wait you faked?" Jon asked
"yea this isnt my first time" i stated
"but-" i added before being cut off
"what happened on friday?" Jordan pushed
I sighed and looked at my socks
"well this boy in my class keeps giving me troubles but on friday he squirted red paint on me and i ran off and texted dad to pick me up early" i admitted
"that was the second time i used it at school" i added
"what do i do? i dont want to go back to school" i whined as my eyes heated up and blinked away a few tears, Jon pulled me into a side hug
"you have to tell dad" Jon said
"yea and fight back" Jordan advised
"what if i get in trouble?" i asked
"mom and dad would understand" Jordan said
After our talk i went back to my room to finish packing
The next afternoon at the Game i stood behind the fence just behind dad as I leaned and rested my arms against it. Just waiting for when at least one of my brothers would play
I cheered when Jordan finally go onto the field
But then Jordan just stood in his position holding his helmet
"Dad is Jordan okay?" i asked
"umm-" he said taking out his phone
"i gotta call your mom" he said
a little bit later Jon got to play too
"ooo i hope they win!" i told Dad
"YAY!" i cheered as their school scored
Their school proceeded to do well for the next little while until i saw Jon looking at Jordan who was on the ground. I knew something was up way before Dad, Coach and the rest of the team ran over. I covered my mouth as Dad went over to him
"oh no" i wined, i wish i knew how to 100% control my super speed and could help but dad has it covered, i hope.
Later on that night we where all in the Twin's hotel room right beside the one me and Dad were sharing, i sat on the bed across from Jordan while Dad stood in front of me as Jordan was laying.
"for the hundredth time, I'm fine" Jordan stated with his hands up
"no, you're not" Dad said
"you just detonated like a bomb in the middle of a high-school football game in front of a crowd full of people" Dad added
"I could have controlled it, all right?" Jordan argued
"I just let it go 'cause you were there" he added
"yeah, but what if I wasn't?" Dad countered
"Jordan, sit up and look at me" Dad told Jordan as he sat down beside me
"do you understand how dangerous this could be? Tell me exactly what happened" Dad said
"were there any symptoms, any signs, something that would have made you think that this was coming?" dad added
"look Dad- you're thinking about this too much I just- I had a moment, all right?" Jordan said
"Jordan...that's not 100% true" Jon said walking over
"Jon"
"what?"
"Jordan, he needs to know" Jon said
"look, the first time that he had one of these episodes or whatever, I mean, it stopped It seemed fine" Jon said
"the first time?" Dad asked Jordan
"i had a migraine at school It wasn't a big deal" Jordan admitted
"and you didn't tell me?" Dad said
"I didn't tell you 'cause I knew you'd overreact" Jordan said, i knodded in agreement
"I knew you'd stop me from playing the game" he added
"yeah! and I would have been right!" Dad stated
"so I'm just supposed to be punished for something that isn't my fault?" Jordan asked
"this was my shot, Dad This was my chance to show the d-bags at Metropolis who I am" Jordan added
"you remember how they treated me, right?" Jordan asked
"Jordan, I know. I know. And I get it, okay? I know what it's like to be picked on" He told him
I groaned at dads response he is always going on about that during the conversations empathising for a sec then doubling down
"yeah, but you get to grow up, and you get to be Superman" Jordan said
"who am I? I'm a weird kid with headaches" He added
"Dad, I'm not you, okay?" Jordan said
The room was fulled with silence for a moment before Dads phone went off, it was Lana i think the call was about Sarah? i couldn't tell it was mumbled for me, When the call ended dad stood up
"what was that?" Jordan asked
"stay here with your sister" Dad ordered
"everything okay?" Jon asked
"stay here with your sister" Dad told him
When Dad left the room i pulled out my phone and sat behind Jon as he turned on the TV
"Nothing about Dad on the news" Jon said
"Can't find anything on the Internet either"
"you think it might have to do with mom?" i asked
"Jordan you're not like, mad at me..are you?" Jon asked
"Nah" he replied
"I'm just a little tired of being told what to do that's all" he added
Then there was pounding at the door
"now what?" i whined as Jon went to go get it
"Oh, it's the boys" he told Jordan as he opened the Door and he greeted his friend's
"How you feeling, rock star? Better?" Mike asked Jordan
"I'm all right. Yeah. Yeah"
"hey y/n!" Mike greeted me
"hi congrats on the game" i said
The Twins and their team mates talked about going out and getting some drinks or whatever
"That'd be–that'd be tight guys but honestly, my pops said we got to stay here" Jon told them
"you know babysitting duty" he said gesturing to me, did he really have to throw me under the bus?
"its fine you two can go out, ill go back to mine and dads room" i stood up and told the group
"i wont say anything as long as you get me some candy" i told Jon
"All right"
"It's not like we're going clubbing, Liquor store's just up the street" one of them said
"You know what? We won a big game Come on Let's go. Come on" Jordan said
"yeah!" they all said in union as they left the room
"you coming?" they asked Jon
"yea" he told them as i trailed behind them
i closed the door and headed over to the room to the right
"have fun" i told them "and dont forget my snacks" i told Jon heading inside
I turned on a lamp got my bag headed to the washroom and changed into my pyjamas then I layed on the bed and turned on the TV
"they cant be gone for too long" i said looking at my phone. Eventually i fell asleep and when i was woken up Dad had to rush us out of the Hotel and to the ER since Jon broke his arm
When we got home i dragged my things inside
"im going to bed, night" i said as i went straight to my room, i threw my bag to my closet door and crashed for the night.
The next Day dad had taken Jordan to the Fortress, he now developed dads super hearing and now has trouble controlling it and now has to wear noise cancelling headphones
At night when dad told them to go to bed he stopped me
"hey y/n i know i said id take you to the fortress but since Jordans problem is a bit more servere ill take you later this week durning school once Jordans hearing is under some control okay?" he told me
"now get to bed" he told me
"goodnight" i told Mom and Dad
