"So, where do you live?" Flash asked the Man of Steel.

"It's kind of a secret, but I can trust you," Superman replied. "I can, right?"

"Of course." Flash nodded.

Superman told him the address and once they came to what looked like a normal home, to Flash's surprise, the Man of Steel became his secret identity of Clark Kent.

"Atticus's Uncle Clark?" Flash whispered to himself in surprise. "He's Superman?"

As Clark got his button-down shirt on, he winced when he raised his right arm to get it into the right sleeve. Flash came to help Clark out a bit.

"Not sure if I'll be able to make it to work tomorrow," Clark sighed a bit. "I'll have to make up a lie to Perry."

Flash was still having a hard time getting over his shock.

"Close your mouth, you'll catch flies." Clark advised.

"I just... You... You're Superman..." Flash whispered with shock.

"Yeah, I know it's surprising." Clark said.

"Well, I promise not to tell anyone," Flash replied. "As long as you don't tell anyone my secret."

"Fair enough," Clark smiled before they shook hands on that. "Now I have an offer for you."

"Oh, boy..." Flash said with a deep breath. "Alright, what is it?"

"I might not be well enough to protect Metropolis for a little while and my godson can't leave his hometown, also that Titanium Quartz fellow doesn't seem to be from here." Clark replied.

"Yeah, he probably has to stay there too." Flash remarked.

"So... I was wondering if you would help protect Metropolis for me?" Clark then asked.

"Me? Really?" Flash asked out of surprise with a smile.

"I know we just met, but I feel a great trust within you," Clark replied. "Plus no one would suspect you here. Uh, you're not from this town, are you? I don't think I've seen you around town before."

"Actually, I'm from Greendale." Flash remarked.

"Greendale, huh?" Clark asked. "A good friend of mine's son lives there. He's like a son to me too whenever he comes over to visit."

"Yeah, I know; I'm one of his friends." Flash smiled.

"Is that right?" Clark asked. "So you know him pretty well?"

"Yeah, it's a long story, but I assure you, I'll keep this conversation secret and I won't let you down." Flash promised the Man of Steel.

"I know." Clark smiled back.

"This is gonna be so sweet," Flash beamed to himself. "Thank you!"

"You're welcome." Clark smiled.

"Way to go, Flash Sentry." Atticus whispered to himself.

"Wait, how am I going to explain to my parents, my little brother, my girlfriend, and my friends why I'm going to be staying in Metropolis for a few days?" Flash asked.

"Oh, this should be good." Drell smirked.

"Hmm... That is quite a pickle..." Clark replied. "I'd trust them with your secret, but that might be a little risky, especially if a villain captured them."

"Well, most villains aren't super-fast, right?" Flash asked.

"Not the ones I've faced," Clark replied. "The closest I know to fast other than myself is The Flash from the Justice League."

"So then as long as I fly at super-speed, the villains can't follow me to where I live." Flash smiled.

"Think you could keep up with that?" Clark asked.

"Well, I might be a superhero rookie, but I can sure try, right?" Flash smirked.

"Right." Clark smirked back.

"And when your body feels better, maybe we could go a few rounds." Flash smirked back as he got in a boxing stance.

"Heh, alright," Clark chuckled. "I'll meet you then, Sentry."

"See ya, Supes." Flash smiled as he flew off.

Clark nodded as he got settled in and decided to make a phone call.

Flash landed behind his house with a small chuckle as he changed back into his regular outfit and decided to go in.

"What did I miss?" Sunset asked the family as she took a shower.

"Some new super kid in Metropolis that helped Superman." Apollo told his older son's girlfriend.

"Yeah, and just in time too; Non was about to finish Superman off with his heat vision." First Base said.

"Gosh... I hope Metropolis will be okay." Sunset frowned.

"It looks like it might be," Twinkle Scout replied. "There was a new hero in town that helped out."

"Pretty cool, huh, Sunset?" Flash smiled innocently.

"Yeah, sure sounds cool." Sunset smiled back.

"He was so cool he kicked Non's butt like he was nothing." First Base smiled.

"Well, I feel like Superman and this new hero will get along together just nicely." Flash hid a wink with a proud smile.

"After the kid superhero and that big guy saved his life, I'm sure him and Superman will get along nicely." Apollo said.

"I think so too, Dad." Flash smiled.

Sunset smirked as she had a small, sneaking suspicion.

"By the way, I just remembered I'm going to be staying in Metropolis for a few days to get to know this guy named Clark Kent, he's like Atticus's uncle." Flash said.

"Oh, Flashy, you're leaving?" Twinkle Scout asked.

"Just for a few days, Mom," Flash replied. "It was, um, Atticus's idea."

"Well, as long as it's just for a few days." Twinkle Scout said.

"I'll call you, I promise." Flash smiled.

"Good boy." Twinkle Scout smiled back.

"I wanna go to Metropolis too!" First Base piped up.

"Sorry, First Base; I gotta go there on my own." Flash told his little brother.

"Aww..." First Base pouted.

"I know I'll miss you a lot though." Sunset whispered to her boyfriend.

"I'll miss you too." Flash whispered back.

The two then shared a kiss with each other.

"Ew! Cooties!" First Base whined.

"Kids." Sunset and Flash sighed.

"Someday, you'll understand." Apollo smiled at First Base.

"Hmph," First Base rolled his eyes. "I doubt that, Dad."

The family soon laughed as they went off as Flash decided to get ready to go away for a little while which would become a new story for another time.

Drell soon turned off his crystal ball. "Well, I better leave you; after all, you have a big day coming up before your wedding." He told Atticus.

"Yeah," Atticus smiled bashfully. "Got any tips?"

"Sure," Drell winked. "Show up to the altar in time."

"Well, good thing that Graduation is just a few weeks away." Atticus said.

"Yes, and I look forward to reading your final essay on what you've learned from Charm School and what you hope to do in the future." Drell replied.

"Me too," Atticus said. "Also, you should know that since Cherry is a great writer that she probably wouldn't cheat even if she's worried about displeasing you, Mr. Snipe, and Ms. Magrooney."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Drell shrugged that off. "Let's just see what happens in the final week of school."

"Alright." Atticus said.

The two shook hands as Drell decided to leave. Atticus lay flat on his bed as he was freed from the magic with a bit of a sigh. That was all there was for the story for right now.

The End
