All right, everyone, I'm baaaaack! I decided to try something new. This series will have no part of my other stories. Instead, I'm going to go in order of the episodes of Flashpoint, and right a story based on a line or a scene for each one. If there is something you want to see, just let me know through reviews!

Clark grinned to himself as he hit the note he had been working on for weeks. One part of his mind focused on the music he was playing while the other focused on what his friends were playing around him. They were going to kill it at the anniversary dinner tonight.

He paused when his phone started ringing, signaling to his friends to keep playing as confusion spread when he realized it was his mom calling him. She knew he was practicing right now, so it must be important if she was calling him now. He began to smile hopefully as he thought that maybe she was calling to say that dad was coming tonight to the anniversary; that he was coming to hear him play.

"Hey, mom."

"Clark…" Clark's eyes widened and he knew that this could be nothing good. His mom didn't just sound like this with happy news. He wanted to ask what was going on, what was wrong, but words just couldn't come out. So he waited and listened.

"Sweetheart, there was a hostage situation today. Your father's team was called." The fact that she was calling meant that there were only two options as to what happened, and he didn't want to voice one of them, couldn't even think it, so he let her continue to talk. "Scorpio was called, Clark." Clark's eyes widened as he realized what that meant. He thought it even as his mom spoke it. "Your dad is going to need us tonight. I just wanted you to be prepared. He might be a little off tonight."

Clark knew what she meant, knew that his dad might start acting like a zombie, walking aimlessly around the house, trying to cope with what he had to do. With what it was his job to do. He only hoped that it wasn't a kid who his dad had to take down. He hadn't had to that Clark could remember, but he had a feeling it would be so much worse if it were a child instead of an adult. "Okay, mom," he said softly. There wasn't really anything else he could say.

Clark leaned forward on the edge of his bed, waiting for his dad to come home. He knew it had to be any minute now, and he was waiting anxiously for it to come. Finally, he heard it. The door opening almost silently before shutting, the lock clicking into place. He shot up, moving carefully down the stairs.

"Dad?" Clark wanted to say something else, but wasn't sure what he could say. He was surprised when his dad moved forward and wrapped him in a hug, kissing his forehead and just holding him. Clark didn't know how else he could help, but if this was what his dad needed, this is what he would give him. So he said nothing, just hugging his dad fiercely in return.

Hope you all enjoyed! Please review and tell me your ideas for episode 2!
