▪︎ For Jonathan and Martha it was a great joy to be able to adopt you both; having one child was already a dream come true, but two children, both were over the moon, even if you were quite peculiar children.
▪︎ Clark was a very peaceful, calm, and quite quiet child. He really liked his own space, even if he was just sitting on the floor admiring the sunset. But for you, Clark's personal space was conquerable territory.
▪︎ You really didn't understand why he would want to be alone when he had you, i mean, what was his was yours and what was yours was his, right? So why not invade his peace and personal space?
▪︎ In that situation, if Clark had had a different personality, it would have ended up in big fights, but since he was the peaceful boy he was, he never complained, and both Mom and Dad looked at him with a bit of pity. Did they love you? Of course, but no one could say that you didn't handle a great deal of intensity and energy, which wasn't bad at all because you were like the joy of the home, but it could agitate anyone if they weren't used to it.
▪︎ Everyone thought that would change as they grew up and reached adolescence, and like anyone else, you'd want your own personal space and understand that your brother would too.
▪︎ Funny but not
▪︎ You loved teasing him even more, and now you had so many more tools at your disposal; it seemed like fate was always against him. He had to listen to guys asking you out, guys flirting with you (something you actually enjoyed and he hated, well, protective brother), but it made him even more nervous when he saw you with his great love Lana's group of friends, and he almost froze when he saw you two sitting at the house, you evil girl.
▪︎ It had to be said that most of the fun things happened in your teens, that is, even before the appearance of your powers everything was quite chaotic.
▪︎ During those years, your parents found it incredible how Clark handled your personality. They even thought Clark had developed an amazing ability to ignore you when you were being particularly annoying. It was a survival mechanism he perfected over the years. Jonathan was convinced that much of Clark's power didn't come from his Kryptonian origins, but from having survived an entire childhood with you.
▪︎ You were quite hyperactive, which didn't help you at all in class given your poor ability to concentrate, but the good thing was that Clark was extremely good at helping you study. He had infinite patience to explain something to you ten times if necessary. You, on the other hand, were an expert at helping him with social problems. If Clark needed advice on how to talk to someone, interpret a situation, or stop acting weird, he usually ended up turning to you, so it was a kind of trade.
▪︎ Since she couldn't focus on anything for very long, Clark was definitely the one driving the old farm truck, but even then, Martha would pray every time the two of you went out in it together. Not because you were irresponsible, but because you had a habit of getting easily distracted, talking about anything and everything.
▪︎ For a while you two were very calm, actually you more than anything, but both of you were suffering a lot of pain and discomfort when your powers appeared, it was a good thing to share your grievances with someone who understood you completely, and you were a great help to each other in being able to handle your new abilities, but you were sure that you could have good advantages of it.
▪︎ Clark was able to join to the football team after much insistence to your dad, and the whole team was so grateful to have such a fast and strong player as him, plus you enjoyed going to watch him play, maybe see some hot boys.
▪︎ You, on the other hand, used it to listen to the gossip of the whole town from miles away, and you found it so fun because who wouldn't if they had the chance?. You can clean quickly with your speed. Are you bored of your furniture being in the same place? You have super strength. did you lose something? That doesn't matter, you have x-ray vision.
"Clark, you should ask the neighbor's granddaughter out on a date, she likes your ugly haircut."
▪︎ Adolescence was probably the time when they annoyed each other the most, but also the stage when they became most inseparable. Because while the rest of their lives were constantly changing, they could always count on each other.
▪︎ Despite having such a happy life on the farm, that comes to an end. One day Clark decided that Smallville was too small for him, that he needed to find his purpose, and that Metropolis was the place where he could be a journalist and continue to grow.
▪︎ It was a difficult day for everyone. You didn't know a life without Clark beyond the loneliness of a few hours, but now he was going to a huge city far from home. Even if your parents had asked you to go with him, you couldn't imagine your life away from them either. All of this was too much for you.
▪︎ Even though Clark had told you he wanted to leave Smallville, you never thought it would happen so soon. Suddenly, the next room was empty, the breakfast table had one less plate, and the barn felt unnervingly quiet.
▪︎ For the first few weeks after he left, you kept going into his room out of habit. Sometimes you were looking for something to do there. Other times you'd just sit for a few minutes before leaving again. It was medieval torture; you missed your brother.
▪︎ Martha was the first to notice how much it was affecting you. Although you tried to act as usual, you were quieter than normal and spent less time bothering your parents; something was definitely going on in your head.
▪︎ Jonathan surprised you several times by looking towards the main road when you heard an engine approaching, as if a part of you expected to see Clark's old truck appear.
▪︎ Clark wasn't handling it as well as he'd hoped, either. After years of sharing practically every day of his life with you, the silence of his Metropolis apartment felt strange. For the first time in his life, he could enjoy all the privacy he wanted. But he quickly discovered he didn't like it as much as he'd imagined.
▪︎ Your parents couldn't tolerate their children spending even a minute longer in these situations, even though they thought all this change would be good for them, but they were clearly wrong, so they had to fix this.
▪︎ That's when Jonathan and Martha started talking seriously about it. Honestly, it didn't take them long to figure out the solution, and it didn't take them long to convince you either. Because, no matter how hard you tried to defend your position, everyone knew the truth: you missed Clark far more than you were willing to admit.
▪︎ You were worried about leaving the farm, worried about being away from your parents, worried about abandoning the only life you'd ever known. But you also knew that a part of you had been waiting to hear that proposal ever since the day Clark left.
▪︎ Martha was the one who finally gave you the last push you needed. After all, Metropolis wasn't on the other side of the world. The farm would still be there, they would still be there, and you could always come back and visit them.
▪︎ When you finally agreed, Jonathan and Martha seemed much more excited than they let on, not because they wanted you to leave, but because they knew exactly how happy it would make you and Clark.
▪︎ And that same day you appeared at the door of Clark's apartment.
▪︎ Clark knew nothing until you appeared at his Metropolis apartment door with several suitcases at your feet and a smile impossible to hide. At first, he stood completely still, staring at you as if trying to figure out if you were real. Then he looked at the suitcases, back at you, and finally understood what was happening. For months he had imagined what it would be like to have the only person who truly understood him close again, and here you were!
▪︎ Even though Clark spent years complaining about you when you lived on the farm, the truth was he didn't know how to live without your constant presence, and moving to the city had affected him just as much as it had you. You had arrived on Earth together, grown up together, and faced every change in your lives together. You were the only person who could fully understand who he was and where he came from.
▪︎ He had missed every part of you: how absentminded you were, seeing your smile every morning, when you scolded him for leaving his clothes lying around, your competitiveness, your company, your...
"Clark, why do you have a suit with your underwear on the outside?"
Sweet, sweet home, Clark thought.
