Superman & Lois x daughter reader part 8/ep 8 holding the wrench
y/h/t = your hair type y/f/s = your favourite scent
It's day one of my suspension but just like every other school day i still had to wake up early.
When my alarm went off i peeled the blankets off, rubbed my eyes, turned off my blasting alarm then sat back down on the side of my bed.
"no point in changing into something else" i said looking at my pyjamas in the mirror
I got up to get my brush, detangler spray and turned on my laptop, found something to watch then brushed my y/h/t hair. The scent of my detangler spray fulled my room making it smell of y/f/s and soap.
"dang it" i whined rolling my eyes and sighed attempting to squeeze anything out
"oh great now i have to bug them for more"
I paused the video on my laptop and got up and ran to the bathroom to throw away the empty spray bottle.
I twisted off the pump to smell the inside of the bottle one last time before tossing it.
"i really thought i had more time with it" i thought, then i twirled around and headed straight back to my room.
I brushed through it one last time before putting my hair up and heading downstairs for breakfast.
When i got down to the brightly lit Kitchen Dad was already there heating up the stove while the twins where still upstairs, i was finally first for once
"Hey"
"Still in those pyjamas?" Dad asked while frying eggs
"I mean, no point of getting dressed if i cant go to school for three day's plus im grounded " i told him crossing my arms
"About that-" he said turning around and standing at the head of the table
Just then the twins sat down.
"Why are you only half ready?" Jon asked me gesturing to my hair and my pj's
"Cause im grounded and suspended for three days?" i replied by raising an eyebrow and turning my head
"Whats the point in getting dressed if i cant leave the house?" i added leaning back in my chair
"Okay two things" Dad spoke up
"y/n me and your Mom talked it over and your not in any trouble" he told me
"So your not grounded" he added
"What?!" me, Jordan and Jon said in union all of us confused at the switch up. I sounded more happily but also taken aback, Jordan more shocked and Jon mostly confused
"But she got suspended for three days?!" Jon reminded Dad
"I know, but it was self defence" Dad said defending his and Mom's decision
"Since when is throwing furniture self defence" Jon whispered
"He GAVE me the idea!" I snapped pointing to Jordan, who was mad i threw him under the bus
"Like y/n said the other kid came at her with scissors it could have gotten worse but throwing the desk was a bit much" Dad said
"So later i'm gonna take you to the fortress to figure out what's going on and for the next two days of the suspension ill teach you proper self defence so you don't do anymore school damage" Dad told me, then he gave us our plates and drinks
"okay..." i said
It was so weird seeing that Mom and Dad weren't upset with me on this from last night and letting me off the hook when Mom said the opposite
"But didnt Mom say she wasn't off the hook?" Jordan asked
"Yes but after some thought its more about not telling us what's going on and hiding things" Dad explained
"And going forward we need all of you to tell us about your problems at school and things going on with powers, got it?"
"Got it"
"Yeah"
"Okay"
After we all finished eating Dad instructed to me to get dressed and get my winter coat for the Fortress.
I met with Dad outside While the twin's stayed inside
"Are you ready?" he asked me
"Yeah" i replied as dad put my hat on
"Hang on tight" he told me
I then hoped on Dad's back and we blasted off, we flew off so fast it felt like i was being hit in the face with a leaf blower or being in a typhoon
After a few seconds we arrived in the Arctic just outside of the Fortress. It was freezing and a little bit windy how does Dad tolerate it here?
"so its an ice castle?" i asked shivering in my jacket crossing my arms
"not really" Dad said as we walked as i trailed behind him and followed him inside.
I stood off to the side as Dad walked up to a table where "Jor-el's" hologram was talking to him. I didn't really pay all that much attention to most of their conversation all i really cared about was finding what was going on with my powers.
I didn't really do anything just standing against the cold walls until they scanned my body and my brain
"It seems like y/n's powers are manifesting through fight or flight" i over heard
"It's unknown how powerful she will be"
"Okay"
"Its seems like y/n and Jordan abilities will still be unpredictable just like yours"
"but unlike Jordan, y/n will have more control over her abilities as they appear"
The two continued to go back and forth while i zoned out staring off, after of what felt like forever the hologram shut down and Dad approached me
"Okay, lets teach you to fight properly" Dad Told me
I nodded in response and followed him into another room where Dad stood about three feet away from me and held a pen in his right hand
"okay pretend this is a weapon, knife, gun scissors whatever" he told me holding it up
"i want you to knock it out of my hand and push me back with your super strength" he instructed
"but if it were real wouldn't i get hurt?" i asked clenching my fists
"yes but you, i and the boy's heal fast so don't worry" he assured me
"whenever your ready" he added
I kicked the cap off the pen and didn't even move Dad with my push, i let out a deep sigh
"its okay you'll get" Dad told me as he put the cap back on
"Go again" he told me
This time i kicked the pen across the room and managed to shove dad
"Much better!" he told me
"Really?" i asked "But i barely did anything" i said
"Sure but its progress" he replied
For the next couple of rounds i could only either kick the pen or shove dad not both. If I can control my powers so easily then why am i struggling to do two simple things?
"This is impossible!" i whined throwing myself to the ground while tucking my knees to my chest.
"Hey.." Dad said softly while walking over to me and meeting me on the Ground
"Its okay to not be great at it immediately" Dad said as sat down then he pulled me onto his lap
"Your actually doing really actually, just as well as i did when my powers were emerging" he told me, that has to be a lie to make me feel better.
"Really?" i asked him
"Yeah and eventually you'll be just as good as me" Dad said
"not at this rate.." I said
"hey..give it some time, do you want to take a break and go home? or keep trying for a bit longer?" he asked me
"umm" i hesitated. We still have the rest of today and the next two days so it doesn't matter if we pause for now, but i really want to nail this. I looked at my feet for a couple second's
"Can we just go home?" i asked him
"Sure" he replied as scooped me up then stood up
"Hold on tight" he told me. Dad then speeded out of the Fortress then he flew us Home.
When we landed a few moments later he landed us beside the house, then he put me down and asked
"I gotta fix the truck but can you get your brothers and meet your Mom and i at the barn?"
"Sure" i said taking off my coat and speeding inside.
I tossed my coat onto the bed and threw my hat onto my dresser then twirled around towards each of the twins doors. I knocked on both doors and yelled
"Dad wants to see us all at the barn"
"Why?" Jon asked me as he swung his door open
"I dont know he never said" I replied
Then Jordan came out of his room
"Does it have anything to do with the Fortress? or even powers?" Jordan asked
"Not sure all he said was to get you two and go to the barn" i replied
The two of them followed me to the Barn where Dad was trying to fix the Truck from last night while Mom was talking to Dad
"Did you need help with the truck?" Jon asked walking over to Dad tool's
"uhhh not sure" Dad told Jon
"What'd you want to see us for?" Jordan asked as he stood by Dad
"We just wanted to see how you three were doing" Mom said
"I know the last few weeks have been hard on us all bottom line, there’s a lot going on" she explained "Morgan Edge, people suddenly getting powers, mystery guy trying to kill your Dad, problems at school, so we just wanted to check in and see how you were doing with all of it" she added
"I talked to Coach Gaines He’s not happy, but he knows the three of us are taking a break from football he just needs your uniforms back" Dad said as he used his strength to un-dent the hood of the truck
"I’ll go do it today It’s my last time in a high school locker room probably ever" Jordan said
"Dad?" Jon said handing him a wrench
"uh no im good" he replied, Then Dad used his heat vision as welding
"Is that it? can i go inside now?" i asked
"Can i be excused?" Jon asked
"No you two say we’re not done talking" Mom told us "Listen, the stuff that we’re dealing with would be a lot for anyone, so if you’re stressed or worried, you need to tell us, okay?" Mom said
"Are you saying all this cause of me?" i asked scratching my head, this felt targeted
"Not entirely, but it still applies" Mom told me, is that a yes? Dad then turned around looking up at the sky
"That’s your dad I’ve got to get to the DOD and question John Irons" Dad told Mom
"I’ll let you know what I find in the RV" Mom told him
"Okay. Good luck"
The two hug before Dad backs up and gets ready to take off
"When i get back we can practice again later" he told me
"okay"
"Kid's" he said addressing the Twins and I, then blat's off
"I’ll be in the barn you three stay out of trouble" Mom told us
I Followed Jordan inside while Jon went with Mom
When i got to my Room i just buried myself underneath the sheets and went back to sleep slowly drifting off.
By the time i woke up i got my diary out and wrote about today and my suspension
"i dont know how to feel about all this on one hand ill be bored in the house for a few days but on the other hand im not in trouble? I can't be mad though. Im mostly just worried about getting back to school on Monday. Hopefully i can perfect this self defence thing by then"
I dropped my pen as i heard yelling from downstairs and closed the book.
"what now?"
I put the book down and headed out of my Room, but as i closed my door behind me Jon ran upstairs, flew past me and slammed his door behind him.
"Is it that serious?" i said stepping back at the sudden loud noise before heading downstairs.
I stood on the stair case easdropping waiting for a good time to walk in without making things awkward.
When i got to the kitchen the atmosphere felt heavy and stuffy as Mom and Dad were whispering about something.
"Is everything okay..?" i asked
"Uhh- yeah" Dad said as he left the room. I looked over at Mom she was obviously sad but i didn't know what to do except hug her.
When i did I could almost feel her cheering up just a bit.
"You said we should talk if we were feeling upset i think you should do that too" I told her as i pulled out of the hug
"Yeah...you're probably right" Mom said looking at me. As i went to make myself lunch Mom went to her office. I mixed up what i could with my limitations my plate was a little bit random but it was good.
As i was almost done eating lunch I saw Jordan getting ready to leave and he was even smiling,
"Awh are you gonna go see your girlfriend" i teasted Jordan
"Sarah's not my girlfriend" Jordan stated
"Oh so you are? you didn't deny it..." i bit back
"When will you ask her out already?" i ask him holding my head in my hands
"He wont" Jon said walking in
I laughed at Jon's quick response while Jordan just rolled his eyes in annoyance
"Whatever i gotta go" he said rushing out the door. Jon was still standing by the door in silence just staring.
"You good?" i asked him, there was a moment of silence before he pulled out his phone
"Uhh, yeah" he replied as he was texting somebody
"Oh, well just checking everyone's been acting off lately did i miss something?" i replied
"Does it have to do with last nigh-" but before i could finish my question Jon cut me off
"No! it-" he paused still stairing down at his phone
"sorry..everything's fine" he added
"That's not at all what im SEEING" i replied
Jon sighed and put his phone in his pocket
"If Jordan comes back can you let me know?" he asked me
"Sure" i replied as he too rushed out the door
At this point it was just me and Mom home alone together or so i thought. When i finished eating i went to go look for her in the Office but it was empty.
"Wasn't she just here?" i asked myself then speeded outside to find her car was gone.
"It's not like her to leave without saying anything"
Whatever now i have the whole house to myself, as long as Mom and Dad dont find out Jon and Jordan leaving no one will get in trouble right? I took advantage of this to watch tv for the next few hours until Jordan and Jon came back.
As i heard the Door open and Jon and Jordan talking to each other, i shut off what i was watching.
"Is Mom or Dad home?" Jon asked
"No, why?" i replied
"Because your not supposed to be alone by yourself?" Jon said
"Yea but Mom just kinda took off and Dad was like never here so its not like anyone is gonna get in trouble, plus if i can get suspended without consequences then im pretty sure this isn't a big deal" i replied
"So where did you two go?" i asked the twins
"Sarah's play audition" Jordan said
"Yea he brought flowers and everything" Jon said
"oooo"
"It's not like that!" Jordan stated
"I just wanted to support her" he corrected
"Oh im sure did" i said sarcastically
"Yeah by playing the piano for her..." Jon slipped
"Oh really? what happened to your anxiety stopping you from playing?" i asked
"Well this time was different" he replied
I started laughing at his response hunching over and holding my stomach, even falling off the couch
"Oh so power of love will combat your anxiety?!" i squealed as i got up and left the room heading to my room.
A little bit later Mom and Dad finally came Home
"Guy tries to kill Dad, and now he’s, what, he’s our houseguest?" Jon said
"I really don’t think Mom would let him stay here if he was dangerous" Jordan said
"A guy that tries to kill Dad, got arrested doesn't scream dangerous to anyone?" i chimed in
"After everything that she saw in that trailer, you really trust her judgment right now?" Jon asked
"I guess I deserve that" Mom said as she walked in
"Give me a minute alone with your brother" she told me and Jordan
"Yeah"
"Sure"
I got up and went to go find Dad
