Disclaimer: Juubi no Shinju does not own Naruto or DC.

Now I know what you are thinking, "What?! Another Naruto/Superman story? And it's called "The Last Son of Krypton", does that mean this is a replacement for "Last Son"?"

And the answer is: No...well, sorta. You'll find the reason why in time. Just know that this is not entirely a replacement to the Last Son.

This is a crossover with BOTH WB's Smallville, and CW's Supergirl (yes I know both networks are basically the same, with CW being WB's successor, just roll with it), as well as some DC Comics, so I will be using elements from BOTH shows.

And I know there might be some of you who might have never seen Smallville, and vice versa with Supergirl, and I will try my best to merge both successfully and later explain at the bottom...if I feel like it.

So please, don't go crazy with review questions, kay?

But anyway, here's the story!

(12/30/19) Juubi: Apologies for any grammar mistakes. Will fix when able.

Prologue: The Baby who fell from the Sky!

"Damn it! I thought I had more time! Of course, this wouldn't be happening, if that stupid council had listened to us in the first place!" A tall man with wild sun-kissed blond hair, reaching his shoulders with two chin-length bangs on either side of his sharp face and dark blue eyes grumbled under his breath as he stood in front of several holographic monitors while his fingers danced over them as he pressed keys. As he worked, he ignored as the ground beneath him shook while crumbs fell from the ceiling. From his glass wall view, one could see the large city outside in chaos as buildings began to crumble and fall apart as the landscape shook and cracked. "Jor-El and I constantly told them that there was something fishy about Brainiac...we just never thought he would lead to such stakes." He said to himself as he watched the data on the holo screen, getting reports about the planet's increasing instability.

The planet's - Krypton - core was destabilizing, growing weaker and weaker by the minute, until finally…

Their planet exploded from the inside out. Killing thousands of Kryptonians in the process.

'And if that wasn't enough...' He thought grimly as he switched a two seperate screens, one showing a live feed of a massive mechanical object hovering over the city of Argo, while the other displayed groups of armed troops in black battling out through the streets of the city. 'What could possess Zod to launch a civil war in the middle of this chaos?! In mere moments, there won't even be a planet to fight over! Then there's Brainiac. To think it actually managed to construct an army of machines and a massive ship without any of us knowing. For that fact, just how did it manage to do such a thing? Has Brainiac always had such free will? Acting as an A.I. on Krypton, while another part of it laid off planet, doing as it pleased? I always felt wary of the control the council gave it...but to be able to do this. Brainiac...is truly terrifying.'

"Mina-To"

Hearing an all too familiar voice behind him, Mina-To Vex-El, third son of Seg-El and Nyssa-Vex - though mostly his El House surname was used as per his mother's order - turned to spot the form of his beautiful wife as she stood at the room's entrance.

Kushi-Na Uz El, was a woman of utmost beauty, many believed her to be a goddess in mortal form, with long scarlet hair reaching just near her waist, dark violet eyes, and marble white skin. Others wondered if she could perhaps be the reincarnation of their Flamebird deity, giver her fiery personality when angered. Truly an angered Kushi-Na could melt any poor soul with her glare...when she wasn't beating them to an inch of death.

Such things, not even he was ignorant to experience.

But fear her or not, Mina-To loved her with his very being. Her...and their newborn child currently in her arms.

Krypton's technology was the most advanced in this part of the galaxy, perhaps even further still, with few managing to rival them. Such evidence of their marvelous technology was the artificial birthing of a new generation of Kryptonians, simply needing a drop of blood from both the opposite gender donors. Their child would have their gender and future determined by computer.

Such practice sickened Mina-To, with his wife, brothers, and parents agreeing with him.

It was actually through such defiance, Kushi-Na went against traditions, and through...physical dance with Mina-To, gave first-hand birth to their child. One of only two first-hand births in Kryptonian centuries.

With a small tuft of growing blond hair like his father on top of his head, and glittering ocean blue eyes behind currently closed lids, their young boy of mere days slumbered peacefully in his mother's arms, wrapped in a red blanket, ignorant of the crisis happening around him.

Naru-To Vex-El of the House of El, Blood of El, Vex and Uz.

"Mina-To...any news?" Kushi-Na asked, a worried look on her face as she held her son protectively.

Looking at his wife, Mina-To sighed. "Nothing good, I'm afraid. Since Brainiac was granted just about full control over all of Krypton's security systems, all space crafts have been disabled."

Kushi-Na frowned, tightening her hold on her son. "Which means we can't evacuate the planet."

The shaking started once more, stronger than before. Mina-To growled in annoyance. "Not only has Brainiac betrayed us, withholding the status of the core's instability from all of Krypton, but that idiot Zod actually launches an attack on the council at the same time!"

"We always suspected Zod to betray the council. He constantly argued for amassing an army to conquer other worlds." Kushi-Na said, gently rubbing her son's cheek to keep him slumbering; she didn't want him to see what was happening and cry. "I warned that damn council it was a bad idea to pick Zod as my replacement as Head of Military." Due to her desire for first hand birthing, Kushi-Na had to take a leave of absence while she gave birth to Naru-To. The council, in its all-knowing wisdom, picked the worst person to replace her, ignoring the person she actually wanted to take her place! 'And now they're paying for it.' She thought grimly, seeing the irony of the situation. The council trusted Zod to protect them, as well as Krypton. Only for said man to be their destroyer in the end.

Mina-To nodded in agreement. Zod was always known for his desire to control, as well as his love for Krypton. Ever since he joined the military faction, he proclaimed his dream to insure Krypton's name spread throughout the stars...even if it meant taking over other inhabited planets.

To show all, Kryton's might. By any means necessary.

Mina-To knew he, Jor-El, and Zor-El should have done something when Zod showed signs of possible growing madness and aggression against the council. He was a lit fuse, drawing closer and closer until…

Once more the room shook with great intensity.

"We don't have much time. The clock is drawing closer and closer to the end." The blond man muttered as he faced the holo-screens, his fingers moving across the holo-keypad, while Kushi-Na watched behind him, her eyes then moving down towards the peaceful expression on her son's face. "Kelex!" Mina-To called out.

From the wall, a hidden hatch opened up, and a gold-plated robot floated out, hovering over the floor, its large single yellow 'eye' looking at the parents.

"Greetings Master Mina-To, Mistress Kushi-Na. How may I be of assistance?" The Kryptonian Service Robot asked.

"Kelex, has there been any word from Jor-El or Zor-El?" Mina-To asked, turning to the robot. Kelex was silent for a while, its opetic blinking.

"...Indeed there has. Your brother Jor-El is on his way here, along with his wife. You also have a call from Zor-El from Kandor."

Mina-To and Kushi-Na blinked in surprise that Jor-El and Lara Van-El would come visit them at such deadly times. Mina-To also wondered about Zor-El's call.

"I'll go see Jor-El and Lara by the entrance." Kushi-Na said, turning around to head to the door with Naru-To. Mina-To silently nodded, turning to the holo-monitors to contact his off-city brother.

After a few seconds, he connected via live feed with Zor-El. What appeared on the screen, was a sweat-drenched Zor-El, a panicked look in his eyes. Behind him, Mina-To could see and hear explosion behind the older, beard faced blond (Superman: Unbound Zor-El). "Mina-To, can you hear me?! Mina-To!"

"I'm here. Zor-El. What's wrong?" The youngest of the El brothers responded, worried for his sibling.

"It's Brainiac. He's attacking Argo City with a legion of robots and laying waste to everything!"

"What?! Where are you right now?! Where's Alura, and Kara?!" Mina-To asked, worried for his sister-in-law and niece.

"They're safe...oh Rao I hope they are safe." Zor-El muttered the last part, before shaking his head, focusing back on his brother. "But listen. Do you remember the promise you, me and Jor-El made? Should the day come when Krypton faces its darkest hour?"

Mina-To was silent, frowning as he lowered his gaze. "...Yes, I remember."

"Mina-To...that day has come."

Closing his eyes, Minat-To sighed while behind him, his wife re-entered the room, Jor-El and a pregnant Lara behind her. "Indeed it has."

"Zor-El. What's happening?" Jor-El asked, approaching the monitor.

"Brainiac is happening." Zor-El informed his brother, who frowned. That damn machine. "I don't have much time. Brainiac is up to something. I can feel it; and Krypton's core must be mere moments from erupting. If our race has any chance of surviving...we must do what we feared we'd have to."

Jor-El's eyes widened at that, turning to the saddened MIna-To. "You don't mean…" He muttered, as Kushi-Na and Lara looked shocked as well.

Mina-To nodded sadly, turning and gazed at his slumbering son.

"If our family is to live on towards the future...we must send Naru-To and Kara off Krypton."

"Mina-To...are you certain this is the only way?" Kushi-Na asked, standing behind her husband as they stood below the house in the basement. Or to be more exact, Mina-To's underground lab. His home office.

With her, stood Jor-El and Lara at the center of the chamber as the three stared at Mina-To, who pressed a button on a holo-screen. From the ground, a wide hatch opened up, and from it, a ship rose up. It's narrow shape implied it was built more for speed than combat. It was built for the need of fast travel. Or fast escape.

"We have no choice, Kushi-Na. We talked about this. We agreed that if this day came, we would protect our son, no matter what." Mina-To said, not looking away as he checked the ship's systems, making sure everything was ready and working.

The redhead woman glared at her husband. "Just because I agreed, didn't mean I thought this day would ever come! For Rao sake, I practically just gave birth to our son! Do you have any idea how long I wanted to meet Naru!?"

Lara frowned at her best friend, concern in her eyes. "Kushi-Na...are you not going with little Naru?"

Jor-El nodded. "I agree. You cannot, in your right mind, think of sending your child to another planet alone. Such a thing is absurd. A child needs their parents."

"Unfortunately, increasing the ship's mass with additional occupants would make it heavier and slow it down, and wouldn't be able to exit the planet's gravitational field in time to out run the explosion before the hyperdrive kicks in. As such...we cannot go with him." Mina-To informed.

Lara turned to her brother-in-law, shocked and appalled. "But to leave your child alone in the vacuum of space...it's madness! Where would he even go?!"

"Naru-To will be put in a state of hibernation, with the ship providing him nutrients to keep him healthy. I will also input the House of El codex into the ship. Our family's history, journals, artificial minds...all preserved in one piece for my son to utilize when the time is right. As such, no matter how far he is, or where he is, we will always be with him." Mina-To informed. That news calmed Kushi-Na a bit, but not by much. She still wished it was her there, in person, that watched her son grow up into the man he will become, not some artificial copy. "As for where he and Kara will travel, I have the coordinates take them to that planet we visited in our youth, Jor-El." He told his brother.

Raising a brow, Jor-El took a second to recall, before remembering. "Earth? It's a far distance away."

"Which is why I have the hyperdrives charged to take them there with lightspeed, and don't worry, the ships have been built to withstand such speed, both inside and out. They won't even feel a thing."

Lara sighed. "If only we could send our little Kal-El along with them." She said, rubbing her large stomach. Like her best friend, Lara also decided to go against Krypton tradition, and decided to physical experience the birth of her child instead of allowing some machine to do it. Sadly, according to the medical knowledge in her robotic assistant, she was not due to give birth until tomorrow.

Her child, will die alongside his parents and planet.

Kushi-Na placed her hand on Lara's shoulder in comfort, all the while cursing Brainiac and Zod.

Suddenly, the chamber shook feariously, making everyone frown as Kushi-Na held Naru-To firmly.

"It's time." Mina-To stated.

Frowning, Kushi-Na gazed down at her miraculously still sleeping child, and bent down to gently kiss his forehead. Leaning her forehead against his, she stared at him with pure love in her eyes. "Naru-To. Grow happy, and loved. Eat healthy, and work hard. Don't stay up all night, and be good to those that will care for you should Rao bless them. Finally, always know, my love will always be with you." She told him, before with tears in her eyes, she approached the ship. Carefully, she placed him inside, making sure the blanket was securely wrapped around him to keep him warm and cozy. She stepped back as Mina-To stepped to her side, gazing at his son. Lifting a hand, he gently caressed his cheek, making the baby to snuggle against it.

Smiling at that, taking a deep breath, Mina-To gave his final words to his son, hoping they will stay with him through his life as a phantom whisper. Similar words his own father spoke to him once ago.

"You will travel far, my son. But we will never leave you... even in the face of our deaths. The richness of our lives shall be yours. All that I have, all that I've learned, everything I feel... all this, and more, I... I bequeath to you, my son. You will carry my spirit inside you, through all the days of your life. You will make my strength your own, and see my life through your eyes, as your life will be seen through mine. The son becomes the father, and the father the son. This is all I... all I can send you, my little Naru-To Vex-El."

Kushi-Na gave her son one last smile, as tears slid down her cheeks. "Be safe, my child. Goodbye, my precious baby."

As the ship's cockpit closed, the baby started to squirm, before opening its azure eyes. Blinking, the blonde child looked around in confusion, before turning his gaze towards his parents as the ship began powering up.

Mina-To and Kushi-Na stepped back beside Jor-El and Lara as the ship rose. They watched as it began to float out of the side opening and into the sky. At that moment, pillars of lava shot out of the ground as large pieces of the planet erupted upward, breaking. People screamed, animals roared, as the planet began to break apart.

At the House of El, four members of El stood in place, looking after the ship that contained perhaps the last son of Krypton, taking him away from their doomed world.

"Goodbye, my son. May Rao watch over you." Mina-To muttered, tears running down his eyes.

Above the erupting planet, Naru-To's ship shot out of Krypton's atmosphere, soon followed by another one. In it, carried a young girl with long blonde hair, who looked back at her exploding home with tears falling from her eyes. She choked back sobs as she forced her gaze away. Instead, she focused on the ship next to her. She gazed through the glass at the, once more, sleeping child, the ship's computer putting him in a stasis slumber. Placing a hand against the glass, she stared at the child.

"Naru-To…"

Behind them, Krypton began to glow, before in a large burst, it exploded. A blast of force rang out, before it hit the two ships, shaking them. Suddenly, the controls on her ship sounded an alarm, making her look at them in shock. A second blast struck them, making her ship begin to spin out of control. She gave a shout as she tried to stabilize her ship, only to realize two things. One, she had lost control and could no longer regain it until the system rebooted, which was going to take a while. And two, her ship and Naru-To's began to go separate ways. "No. No! Naru-To!" She shouted, banging against the glass. However, she could do nothing, but watch as Naru-To's ship flew off, getting further and further away from her. "Naru-To!"

Even in the vacuum of space, it would have seemed like her shout echoed, as her ship suddenly drifted into a large glowing vortex, following a large ship.

And through it all, Krypton's destruction, his parent's deaths, and his separation from his only remaining cousin…

Young Naru-To of the House of El, the last son of Krypton, slept peacefully as his ship flew, large chunks of his destroyed planet following him. His ship's computer beeping, it activated its installed hyperdrive. The ship glowing, a portal appeared in front of it, where the ship passed through, along with a big group of chunks

Meanwhile, Light Years away - Earth - Kansas

Over a large expanding corn field, a helicopter flew over. A sign standing on the side of the road.

Welcome to Smallville, Kansas
Creamed Corn Capital of the World
Pop. 25,001

Inside the helicopter, was a bearded man wearing a suit, read a Daily Planet newspaper. On the headline, it read: Queen Industries CEO missing, Presumed Dead. Putting the paper down, the man looked beside him at his son, a young 9 year old with curly ginger hair, frowning when he saw his son tense, clenching his eyes shut as tight as he could. Nearly scoffing at the display, he leaned closer to him so his son would hear him over the sound of the propellers.

"This has got to stop. Open your eyes, Lex."

However, his son, Lex, wouldn't do so. "I can't." He said, refusing, too scared.

The man's frown deepened. "Luthors are not afraid! We don't have that luxury!" He stated, his tone hardening. "We're leaders" Leaning closer to his son's face, he continued. "You have a destiny, Lex. You're never going to get anywhere with your eyes closed."

As the helicopter flew through the air toward its destination, it passed over a small town. In said town, inside a flower shop, a young girl, wearing a mix of a princess and fairy dress, waved her toy wand over two small frog (or toad) statues, "Abracadabra."

Meanwhile, a man and a woman entered the shop. "Afternoon, Nell." The man announced their presence to a woman who worked around the shop. Turning around and seeing them, the woman smiled.

"Jonathan. Martha. What a surprise. What brings the reclusive Kents to town?" She asked.

Smiling at her, Martha entered the shop. "Tulips. Red ones, if you have them." Martha Kent, with long shoulder length brown hair and blue eyes, was a beautiful woman. Wearing a red blouse, brown coat, and black pants.

Jonathan Kent was a tall man, standing a head over his wife, with a strong physique, short dark blonde hair and sky blue eyes. Wearing a fur collared jacket for the incoming cold winds, and jeans.

"What about a Tiger Orchid?" Nell asked, smiling back at Martha.

Jonathan shook his head. "No thanks. Martha has her heart set on tulips." He said, walking over and stood beside his wife.

Nell nodded. "Yes, well, they are a very uncomplicated flower." She said, before walking around the couple to the back of the store to check for tulips.

Glancing at each other, Jonathan and Martha smiled, before Martha turned to the little girl. Walking over, she smiled at her. "That is a beautiful dress, Lana." she complimented, getting a giggle from the girl. "Are you a princess?"

"I'm a fairy princess." Lana corrected, making Martha smile.

Smiling at the scene, Jonathan looked at Nell, who was coming back. "Hey, where are her parents?"

"Oh, they're at the homecoming game with everyone else. I'm being the good aunt." She said, making Jonathan chuckle.

"Do you want to make a wish?" Lana asked Martha, making Martha's smile widen.

"I would love to make a wish." Lana waved her wand, before gently tapping Martha's forehead with it.

Later on, Jonathan was placing the flowers on the back of his red truck, while Martha sat in the front, leading against the window frame with a dreamy smile, lost in thought. Entering, Jonathan looked at his wife, and smiled softly, a bit sad. "I know what you wished for."

Martha glanced to him, still smiling, before turning her gaze back out. "I see a little face. It's all I ever wanted." Jonathan frowned, saddened that they were unable to have kids thanks to infertility. He always thought about adopting, but never worked up the nerve for it. Looking at Martha, he sighed. Nudging closer, he smiled at her as she turned to look at him, and the two shared a loving kiss.

Suddenly, they were interrupted by cheers and honks. Separating, the two looked out at the road to see cars with cheerleaders wave at bystanders, making them smile. Jonathan chuckled as he got back behind the wheel. "Looks like Smallville won again." He said before starting the car and drying off.

Meanwhile, up in space, behind Earth's Moon, in a flash of light, a blue portal appeared, opening wide, before the ship containing Naru-To flew out, as well as several chunks of Krypton. The ship flew around the moon, with the chunks following it, no friction to slow it down, and using the ship's trajectory force as an anchor in its direction.

Moving past the moon, the ship's computer saw the designated coordinates approaching, and began preparations to enter the planet's atmosphere, and engage landing precautions.

Meanwhile, inside the ship, the young sleeping Naru-To, now looking older and now a healthy 3 - due to being put in a state of suspended animation just before the ship entered the warp zone and traveling light years away from Krypton in a shortened time causing his body to grow and age, luckily the ship provided his body with nutrition to survive - began to stir, the rocking of the ship awakening him from slumber.

The ship entered Earth's atmosphere, with the rocks behind it, breaking apart.

In a factory, outside on the field, Lex looked around in boredom while his father talked business with the workers. Throwing a rock at a post a crow rested on, making it fly away, he looked at the corn field. He sighed, wishing his father hadn't brought him on this stupid trip with him. He wished he stayed home with his mother instead.

"Lex?" Turning around, he saw his father watching him. "Don't wander off, alright?" Lionel said, before turning back to the workers. "Now, where do I sign?"

Turning back to the cornfield, Lex tilted his head. Being young and curious, he decided to go against his father's warnings, and entered the vast field. Pushing and moving his way through, he looked around at the high stalks that loomed over him. He walked slowly, everything going quiet except for the occasional crickets and crows sounding about.

"Help me."

Eyes widening, Lex froze, his spine freezing at the sudden voice. He looked around sharply, looking for the source of the voice. "Help me, please."

Again hearing the voice, Lex flinched, backing up. Looking around, he spotted a scarecrow. Wondering if the voice came from it, like in a horror movie, Lex turned around and began to run through the stalks, pushing them out of his way. He would throw quick glances behind him, to see if anything was behind him. His breath coming out in harsh pants, he took out his inhaler. Unfortunately, he didn't pay attention to where he was running, and tripped on a root. Wincing at the fall, he rose to his hands, his face dirty from the soil. Spotting his inhaler, he grabbed it and pushed himself on his back, holding himself up with his elbows. Looking around in worry, for anything that could suddenly jump out, Lex slid himself back, until he suddenly felt his back hit something.

"Hey...kid…"

Once more freezing, Lex slowly turned around, and raised his head. What he saw made his eyes widen.

There, tied to a wooden cross post, was a teenage male. He had no clothes on, except for briefs, and had a red "S" painted on his chest. The guy was sweaty, no doubt having been there for a while under the sun.

Lex jumped, crawling back in fright.

The teen breathed heavily, tired from being in the glaring sun for so long. "Help me, please."

Lex was silent, frozen in shock.

However, before the young Luthor could say or do anything, he felt a rising rumbling of the ground. And what came next, shocked him even more. Up above them, coming out of the sky in a blazing inferno, was a large ball of fire. It flew over them, over the cornfield, before crashing down in the middle, causing a large shockwave to spread out, a wave of smoke and dust rippling out.

Lex's eyes widened when he saw the fast approaching wave of dust. Quickly standing up, he ran around the trapped guy, ignoring him, and ran as fast as he could to try and escape the wave.

Behind him, the teen could only stare wide eyed as the sand wave hit him, completely overtaking his form.

Lex ran as fast as he could, the sandstorm hot on his trail. However, it was no use, as the wave met him, pushing him down to the ground from the wind force, and passing through him.

Meanwhile, in the town, people gathered and stared at the trail of smoke the meteor left, all wondering what just happened.

Stepping out of her store, carrying Lana in her arms, Nell looked around in confusion.

Across the street, a couple got out of a car. The woman looked their way. "Hi Lana!" The woman, now identified as Lana's mother, waved at her daughter.

Seeing them, Lana smiled happily. "Mommy! Daddy!"

Walking toward them, they also looked up at the smoky trail.

However, what came next, no one was prepared for.

From the sky, another meteor came down, into the town, and crashed down on the Lang parent's car, not only destroying it, but also killing the parents. Everyone shouted in shock and horror, running away in fear, with Nell staring at the scene in shock.

And that was not the end…

Like a downpour from Hell itself, more and more meteors rained down from above, hitting around and in the town, crashing and destroying buildings and cars, and whatnot. One crashing into the town's water tower.

People screamed, shouted, and ran. Some took cover for safety, like Nell, who held the crying Lana.

Out at the lone road, meteors also crashed down around the Kent's truck, taking them by surprise as Jonathan tried to keep the vehicle still as the ground shook. Driving as fast as he could, he raced down the road as meteors came down, one destroying the town sign.

"What's happening, Jonathan?!" Martha asked in great worry. Jonathan tried his best to keep them safe. Suddenly, one meteor crashed down across the front of them, making him slam his feet down on the brakes as the truck drove into the smoke, and into a ditch, where it flipped over. The impact shook them, knocking them out as they hung upside down in the vehicle, only being held up by their seatbelts.

After an unknown time, they groaned awake. Jonathan weakly opened his eyes, his head hurting from the impact. Groaning, he looked around. "Martha?" He weakly called, getting a groan from his equally dazed wife. That's when Jonathan heard something. It sounded like...steps? And it was getting closer. Like someone was approaching them. Turning his head to where the sound was coming from, his vision cleared up, and Jonathan...wasn't sure of what to make of what he was seeing.

He saw feet stopping right beside the turned-over truck. Small feet.

"...Martha?" He called his awakened wife, who turned to him. Looking in Jonathan's direction, Martha blinked in surprise, as they looked at the young feet. Soon, the figure knelt down, revealing the form of a young child. It was a boy.

A nude boy, looking no older than 3.

Bright blue eyes blinking innocently at them, the child tilted his head to the side curiously as he looked at the two, making his head full of bright blonde hair sway across his forehead. Both sides staring at the other, the boy was the first to respond as he smiled innocently at the two adults, who glanced at one another, before looking back at the smiling child.

In another part of the field, Lionel looked around desperately for his son, calling out to him. He looked around at the flattened field, all the flacks pushed down by the meteor's crash. "Lex! Lex!"

Looking around, he turned his gaze downward, and his eyes widened when he saw a clump of his son's hair resting at his feet. Shakingly picking it up, he looked around desperately. That's when he spotted something. A group of flacks gathered together up ahead. "Lex? Lex!" Running to it, he moved the plants aside, only to freeze, eyes wide as he took a step backwards.

There, in front of him, laid his son in a fetal position, with scrapes on his body. Lex shook, his eyes dazed in shock, with nearly all of his hair falling off, the rest barely hanging on, leaving a clear scalp.

After managing to get out of the truck, Jonathan and Martha walked down the trench, following the path as Martha carried the child, now wrapped in a spare blanket they kept in the truck, in her arms, smiling at him as he smiled back.

Jonathan looked around, checking for any sign of where the kid came from, or perhaps his parents. "Kids don't just fall out of the sky, Martha."

Finally breaking her gaze from the child, Martha looked at her husband. "Then where did he come from?"

Jonathan sighed, shaking his head in confusion of it all. First there was this crazy meteor shower that came out of nowhere which they barely survived, and now this young kid appears out of nowhere without any clothes on. Bending down, he picked up a broken stick and threw it away. "I don't know, but he must have parents." He said, before they suddenly stopped, staring ahead in shock.

There in front of them, buried halfway into the ground, unknown to them, was the very spaceship that fell from the sky, and as they were quickly coming to the conclusion to, what may have been what brought the young boy to their location.

"Whoever they are, they are definitely not from Kansas." Martha said as she looked at the giggling happy child.

Also looking at him, Jonathan could only shake his head in disbelief. Never in his entire life, has he been a believer in other worldly life.

Though the big strange machine covered in ash and glowing hot with heat mere feet from them, provided pretty hard evidence to fight against.

Looking at his wife, and seeing the way she smiled at the child, let him know exactly what she was thinking. "Sweetheart, we can't keep him. What would we tell people, that we found him out in the field?"

Martha smiled at him. "We didn't find him, Jonathan. He found us."

Looking at the smiling face of the child, Jonathan couldn't keep his own away. Looking back at the ship, and then looking up at the sky, at space, he sighed, shaking his head.

"It had to be Kansas…"

As the years passed since Jonathan and Martha found this strange young child who literally fell from the sky - in a freaking alien ship - they had faced the great change he brought to their lives.

For one thing, they knew they had to keep the child's true origins a secret, so after managing to flip the truck right up, they took the ship - hidden under a large cloth sheet - back to their barn, where they hid it in the storm cellar.

With that taken care of, they officially adopted the boy, getting the papers, and named him after Jonathan's grandfather, Nathaniel Kent. And while they now have a son to call their own, which would bring many new challenges, they would see through it.

However, as they would continue to learn, Nathan was far from a normal boy. They had begun to notice just how different he was. How special he was.

First time it happened, was while Jonathan was working on the truck, while also keeping an eye on the young Nathan who played with his toys near him. Jonathan had accidentally dropped his wrench which slid under the vehicle. Jonathan crawled under to grab it, when suddenly, the truck began to lift over him. Quickly getting out, Jonathan was shocked when he saw an innocently smiling Nathan, holding the front of the truck over his head.

However, not only was he strong, Nathan also seemed to have skin made of steel. Evidence given, when Martha was cooking dinner, she did not notice a curious Nathan reach over the counter, and grab a knife. Next thing Martha knew, she heard the sound of something shatter. Turning around, she saw Nathan holding the knife, the blade shattered from the handle, and in his grasp. After a startled cry, she quickly ran towards him and carefully took the blade from his hand, looked at the wound he no doubt got. However, to her shock, there was none. While his skin was as soft as silk, it seemed to be as tough as diamonds.

And that wasn't the end. One day, when Jonathan was playing a game of catch with the grown 8 year old, the man accidentally threw the ball too far, making Nathan run after it. However, as he was running, he suddenly became a blur and shot out of the farland, coming to a stop by the Smallville sign, miles away from the barn, confused by how he got there.

You could understand the panic they went through driving around looking for him.

These abilities their son seemed to possess only made them further question where he came from, and why he appeared on their planet.

But even if he was different, they loved him anyway.

Though, at times, it was hard to keep their son's secret, especially when Nathan began to acknowledge what he could do himself. And with this discovery, came questions they were not yet ready to answer just yet, and made him promise to not display them to anyone, or tell anyone about them.

This, however, was easier said than done.

Nathan Kent - Age 9

Standing in front of the chalkboard, the teacher taught the class some of Kansas's history. Writing on the board, she turned around. Looking at the class, she then noticed that Nathan Kent seemed distracted, as he would constantly shift his head, his shoulder length, messy blonde hair swaying with his sharp movements, looking around, with a sort of surprised and shocked expression on his face. "Nathan?" She asked, making his blue eyes snap to her for a sec, blinking rapidly. "Are you paying attention?"

However, Nathan didn't seem to hear her. Or more like, he couldn't. Her voice began to get muffled from the other loud noises! It was like banging drums against his ears! And not only that…

He panted as his eyes shifted. But it was all the same. Everywhere he looked, people seemed to become skeletons! Looking at the side, at the young Lana Lang, who looked at him, he saw her skin, hair, and clothes disappear, leaving only her skeletal form and organs. The image flickered, before it was replaced with muscles, teeth and eyeballs.

Breathing heavily, he looked back at the teacher, only to see the same thing. Looking down at his hands, his vision flashed and saw boney fingers. Swallowing, he looked around, unsure of what was going on, and panicking by the second.

The teacher frowned worriedly, seeing the state the young boy was in. "Nathan? Are you okay?"

He didn't hear her, cringing as he covered his ears as loud screeching noises suddenly struck his ears. He can hear so much, and everything was so loud! From the screeching chalks as they hit the board in the other classrooms, to doors being slammed, to books hitting the tables and sounding like someone struck an anvil with a sledgehammer!

He couldn't take it!

He had to get out!

And that's just what he did. Bolting out of his chair, ignoring the calls from his teacher, he burst out the door, and began to run down the hall. Everywhere he looked, he saw through it. With heavy breaths, he looked around for somewhere to hide. To be alone. Spotting an empty broom closet, he ran towards it. Opening the door, he entered, locking it.

The teacher banged on the door. "Nathan? I need you to open the door."

"Leave me alone." Nathan said, sitting at the corner in the back. Knees pulled to his chest, he covered his ears. Anything to cover the noise.

It was worse now. No longer could he hear the screeches.

No, he heard the whispers. The whispers from the other kids gathered behind the teacher. All directed at him.

The concerned teacher continued to bang on the door. "Nathan, I called you mother. She'll be here soon."

Looking up, Nathan glared at the door. He just wanted to be alone! Unknown to him, his eyes began to glow a fierce red. The rattling door knob started to turn red with heat, making the teacher jump back with a startled and pained cry as her hand was burned.

Thankfully, Martha appeared as she ran down the hall towards them. "I'm here! I'm here!" When she got the call of what was going on, she came as fast as she could. Gently nudging her way through the children, she moved to the door. "Nathan? It's mommy. I'm here, sweetie. I need you to come out."

Inside, Nathan tried to make himself as small as he could.

"What's wrong with him?"

"He's so weird."

"I heard his parents never let him play with other kids."

"Weirdo."

Hearing all of this from the other kids, it hurt him. He wasn't weird!

Right?

It was true, his parents didn't particularly allow him to play games with other children. Always saying he could get hurt. This made him an outcast. He didn't have many friends, if any. He knew Lana through playdates his mom and her aunt would set up, but that was about it. Even thought were under the constant watch of his parents. Never leaving their sight.

He always felt different from other children. He didn't know how, but he just did.

"Nathan, please come out." The voice of his mother seemed to grow over the others, deafening them.

"I can't! The world's too big! Too loud!"

On the other side, Martha frowned in worry for her son. Whatever he was going through, she couldn't possibly know what it was like. Her son sounded so scared, and she wondered how she could help him.

"Then make it smaller." She whispered through the door.

Nathan flinched as the screeching noise once more sounded, making him cover his ears in pain. "I can't!"

"Yes you can, honey. Just...listen to the sound of my voice. Focus on it. Block everything else out, and only focus on me, okay?"

After several seconds of waiting, the door soon opened, and Nathan stepped out, immediately running into his mother's arms, with Martha wrapping her arms around him tightly.

"...What's wrong with me, mom?"

Gently pulling Nathan away, she looked at him, seeing the scared look he had. Smiling gently, she brushed his golden hair out of his face, looking into his ocean blue eyes. "Oh sweetheart. There is nothing wrong with you. You are special in every way. And if you ever have any problems, I'm here for you. Always."

Since that day, his eyesight and hearing went back to normal, and whatever occurred that day, it seemed to have passed. While the teacher and principal wanted an explanation for Nathan's strange behavior, Martha simply gave an excuse that Nathan had some mental issues and abnormal behavioral moments, and that it would just take some time to get it handled.

However, after that event, his parents grew even more worried for their son. Jonathan suggested taking Nathan out of school and homeschooling him from now on, but Martha was against it, as she didn't want her son to be deprived of making friends. After much talking, they decided to allow Nathan to remain in school, but made sure that if that occurrence happened again, that they were to be called immediately. They even gave him his first phone to call them in case of emergencies, like he had another...moment.

However, one thing they soon found out, was that for some reason, Nathan seemed to have a negative reaction to the meteor fragments from the meteors that fell on Smallville. This first happened when he went shopping with his mother. They had entered into a jewelry store, and it was selling merchandise made from the meteorites. Green crystals and jewels. Before anyone knew what happened, Nathan was on the ground, gasping and wheezing, startling everyone. Quickly, Martha had him in her arms, and made their way out the door to go to the Smallville Health Center. Luckily, by the time they made it to the car, Nathan seemed to make an immediate recovery.

Still, this discovery greatly worried the parents. You see, days after the meteor shower, government officials appeared to collect and study the meteorites, as the shower was so sudden, that satellites didn't even detect them until they struck. Still, even with the amount they gathered, there were still fragments spread out throughout Smallville and outward.

So with the knowledge that Smallville has become a dangerous place for him, Martha suggested moving somewhere else. Though Jonathan didn't know what to think. The farm had been in his family for many generations, and was always against selling it. But the health and safety of his son also came first.

However, before a final decision could be made, Nathan came to them and straight-up said that he didn't want to move, having overheard them. He knew how important the farm was to his dad, and how much it would hurt him to sell it. His parents proclaimed their worries of him being in a place surrounded by those green rocks that seemed to hurt him, but Nathan, showing a surprising show of maturity for his age, said that he could handle it, if it meant his family could stay in Smallville.

After much thinking, Jonathan and Martha gave in to their son's wishes. However, they made him promise that if he ever felt that sickness again, he would get out of the area as fast as he could, to which he agreed.

Bad news was that apparently Lana was given a necklace with a meteorite fragment for her 10th birthday, and that made it hard for Nathan to get close to her without feeling weak and drained, so he stopped visiting her, before he stopped seeing her all together, much to her surprise and sadness.

But while he seemed to lose one friend, he gained another, when his father introduced him to Pete Ross, the son of a friend of his father. While awkward at first, Nathan and Pete grew to become friends, especially when he helped Pete out when he was being bullied. His parents were always against Nathan playing any physical sports, activities or games with other kids as he did not know how to control his abnormal strength. And rightfully so, as during eighth grade, when Pete was being picked on by his bully, an older kid, Nathan had enough, and pushed the bully.

Now, the push was only meant to make the bully physically back off Pete. However, in his angered state, whatever control he had on his power was gone, and his push sent the teen crashing through the door of the janitor's closet. And it wasn't forced open either, no, the door broke into pieces. Luckily, the only one who saw that was Pete, who at his young age, only thought of it as Nathan being strong and awesome.

Luckily his parents didn't find out what happened - lord knows how worried and paranoid they would have been, especially his dad.

But since then, he and Pete have been the best of friends, always having each other's back.

Then in eighth grade, he made another new friend. Chloe Sullivan. She and her dad moved to Smallville from Metropolis. Their families met in the market, and Nathan offered to show her around the town, with the tour ending at the farm, where he showed her the loft. The two really hit it off, and Chloe became a great friend to him and Pete.

However, while he had great friends that he could count on, he hasn't told them about his powers, not only because of his parents' wishes, but because he was fearful of how they would react. Hell, even he scared himself sometimes. There were times he was unsure of what to do, or what the purpose was of him having these abilities. Where did they come from? What was he supposed to do with them?

Fortunately (or not, depending on how you look at it), the moment came for that answer to be revealed.

Nathan - Age 15

As a school bus passed through a dirt road towards a bridge, inside Nathan Kent stared out the window, looking up at the sky, while Chloe sat beside him, reading a book.

Staring up as a few birds soar through the air, a small longing feeling to fly like them rose in his heart, Nathan blinked when he felt something bumped his head. While it was actually a flick, he barely felt it. "Hey asswipe." Looking up, he found himself looking at Kyle, the school bully. "How about you? Did you see the game last night? Do you even have a TV in that farm of yours?" He mocked, making Nathan look away, trying to ignore him, while Chloe glared at Kyle.

"Leave him alone, Kyle!"

Kyle turned his head and smirked at the young long-haired brunette girl sitting beside the blonds. "What are you, his girlfriend or something?" He asked. Lana stayed silent, simply glancing at Nathan, who glanced back, before he got slapped over the head by Kyle.

"Come on Kent, say something."

At this point, Chloe had had enough, as she stood from the chair. "Alright, you know what?!-"

Unfortunately, at that point, as the bus was passing over the bridge, one of its tires suddenly burst, making the bus go out of control. The driver at the wheel did his best to stabilize the bus, while the students screamed in fright.

To make things even more unfortunate, there was a speeding car heading their way, and forced the driver to jerk the wheel to the side so as to not hit it. This, however, caused the bus to head towards the edge of the bridge, and crashing through the concrete side, flying through the air, and down into the river pass below.

Everyone shouted and screamed as water began to quickly fill the bus as it sank, while up above, the driver of the car immediately got out and ran toward the edge, before calling 911.

"Oh my god!" Chloe screamed as water began to rise to her waist, grabbing the wide eyed Nathan's arm in fear. Students banged on the windows, trying to open them to get out. Looking around, Nathan saw the exit door at the back of the bus. An idea came to him, one he knew he shouldn't do, but given the current situation, he had no choice. So, getting out of Chloe's hold, making her call to him in fright, he moved to the back. Looking around, he saw that no one was watching him, too busy trying to open the windows.

So, placing a hand on the door, he pushed, tearing the door off its hinges. This caused more water to pour in faster and in large amounts.

The water now nearly reaching the roof, students struggled to hold themselves up for air, while some banged desperately on the glass, bubbles gushing out from their muffled screams.

Up above, the bus was now completely submerged under water, with the water surface going still. Then suddenly, after a few silent seconds, the sunken bus began to rise out of the surface. Inch by inch, it rose out, and rolled across the river bank. Water gushed out of the open back door, emptying out, as the occupants gasped for air. At the back of the bus, Nathan grunted as he pushed the bus forward, out of the river, and onto land. Stopping, he looked inside to see if everyone was fine. Seeing that they were, he sighed in relief.

Lana gasped, trying to refill her lungs after holding her breath for so long. Looking at her friends who were in the same state, she turned her head, and looked at the panting Chloe and Nathan. Nathan pants, turning his head to meet her eyes. "You okay?" He asked.

Lana nodded, taking a moment to look at the back of the bus, where the door was missing, and wondered what had happened, and how they were still alive.

The bridge was soon covered in police cars and medical vans to check on the victims, as well as their parents who rushed over in worry for their children, not to mention media crews to report the accident.

In the back of an ambulance, Nathan, Chloe, and Pete sat together, covered in towels to help dry off. Nathan looked at Lana, who was being embraced by a crying Nell. He then looked down below the bridge at the construction crew who used a crane to pull the bus completely out of the bank.

"Nathan!"

Looking up, he saw his parents running toward him. Chloe's father and Pete's parents behind them. Standing up, he took a few steps forward as Martha and Jonathan reached him, while Chloe and Pete ran to their parents. He was instantly pulled into a tight hug by his mother, while Jonathan wrapped an arm around him. "I'm okay mom, I'm fine."

Pulling back, Martha cupped his cheeks, turning his head this way and that to check him over. "Oh my god! When we got the call of what happened, we rushed over as fast as we could! Are you sure you're alright?!" Reaching up, he placed his hands over hers.

"Yes, I'm fine. I swear!" He calmed her, before being pulled into another embrace by the sobbing Martha.

Jonathan looked at the wrecked bus, and seeing the missing door, took a guess on what happened. Seeing the way his dad stared at the bus, Nathan sighed. Getting out of his mother's hold, he turned to Jonathan. "Dad, I...I'm sorry. I know you always told me to never use my gifts, but the bus was sinking, and we were trapped, and…" Dragging off, he frowned, lowering his head, so as to not meet the disappointed look his father would no doubt have.

However, feeling a hand placed on top of his head, and ruffle his hair, he glanced up, and was met with the softly smiling face of his father.

"I'm not mad, Nathan. In fact, I'm proud." He said, shocking his son. "While I may have been against you using your powers when there are people around, you saved your classmates. Today, while no one may know it, you're a hero. And I couldn't be more proud son."

Nathan stood there, staring at his smiling father in shock. His eyes grew misty, he gave a wide smile, as the family of three hugged, before they walked towards the truck to head home.

That was the first time Nathan has ever used his powers to help people, and he liked it. It made him feel as though he had a purpose, and a real reason to use his powers. Now, these could have just been slight delusional thoughts, caused from many hours spent reading comic books his dad gave him for his 12th birthday - his favorite being the "Justice Guild of America" - but Nathan, even if deep inside, wished he could use his powers to help save the world, save people from burning buildings, fight criminals, etc. Like his favorite comic book hero, Tom Turbine.

Unfortunately, he lived in the real world, not a comic book, so there weren't any villains around. And so, time passed, and the bridge accident was soon forgotten.

It's now been 13 years since Nathan - unknown to him - landed on Earth, and since then, while he has gotten better control over his powers, and sorted them out, he still had many questions. Questions with no answers in sight.

However, unknown to Nathan, now 16 years of age, he will get his answers, and will begin his journey to realizing the great destiny that awaits him.

And how he will grow to become one of Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
