a late night in the house of the knight family
Oak looked a bit stressed and frustrated, walking back and forth, constantly thinking to himself, punching the wall slightly, just enough not to break it down. Lucy sees the house trembling in the kitchen and notices oak is not around. She walks to the living room, not seeing him. Suddenly, she notices another trembling in the wall lights. She walks to the stairs and sees dust on the floor.
Lucy: Oak?… hunny?… looking down on the floor gosh, why is there so much dust?
She keeps going upstairs and sees him punching the wall
Voices in oak mind: you suck!, loser, you are not fit to be a hero!, worst father, everything you do is a failure!!
oak: NOT AGAIN! punching the wall
Lucy: Hunny, are you ok? her face began to worry
The voices continue: your skills are the worst, no one likes you!, worst king, who the heck is this guy?, loser from another world, you are not even superman equal.
oak: No! punching the wall stronger this time
The girls peeking from each of their rooms slightly to see why their dad was angry.
Diana [to Lucy]: Mom, he started to punch it a couple of minutes ago, I think it's his voices again
Lucy: Thanks, hun. Stay in your room. I will check on him.
Lana and the rest of the girls were standing close to their rooms, not knowing what was happening yet.
Lucy: Oak?… walking closer toward him hunny, what is wrong this time? Hmm…
Oak notice at his wife approaching slowly still hearing them
The voices continue: why even bother! You worthless, they are better off without you
Oak: It is the voices that always come back, I hear them and they are telling me I am not fit to be a hero or a father or….
Lucy: STOP! Don't say another thing like that… remember what I always told you when you started being a superhero?
Oak: nodding slightly like he forgot a bit
Lucy: Be yourself, be… that hero that comes in and makes the smile and never backs down, remember that?
Oak hugging Lucy for a couple of hours, Diana looking at them and signling the girls to get into the rooms, let them be alone for the night
music playing by We Are the Fallen song name: Tear the World Down
Later that night, Clark came by, checking on Oak, hearing the punches from before, he knocked on the door gently, waiting for someone to open it. Suddenly, Lucy opened for him
. Lucy: Hi, stranger, what are you doing here, Clark?
Clark: I heard loud punches in your house. Is everything ok?
Lucy: amm… ya oak had a breakdown, we are fine he… *mid sentence* especially him..
Clark: You sure everything is ok? I am just assuring you guys are good
Lucy: ya, he started to hear the voices again… taking a bit of a breath and.. letting out breath, smiling for a bit you can come in
Clark came in, seeing Oak sitting, holding an ice cup in his hands
Clark: Jordan did that before he had his powers. It felt dumb, but it definitely helped a lot
. Oak: ya, I had a little breakdown, felt I needed it
. Clark: So punching walls would help? I don't see you punching any walls during your time on the farm, like at all.
Oak: Well, when you and Lois and your mom went out, I did do that. Remember the pile of rocks in the barn?
Clark: ya, but I thought it was…
oak: It was me, I did that every day, the feeling of people judging or misunderstanding you, or not even giving you a chance to talk to you…
Clark: ya i know that feeling * he set next to oak on the sofa* look before i started to be superman i got bullied at school like constantly a kid name flash i think… he always tried to put me in the lockers sometimes even putting me in the fields hanging in the night sometimes but it didnt stop me to prove who i am some people see in you something good and powerful show tham that dont prove to tham what you have you are proving it by doing it
Oak: Glad I have you around, the only one who knows me
Lucy, Clark, and Oak sat in the living room in silence for a bit and started to talk about tomorrow and what would be.
