Men of Steel

The residual energy from the Kamehameha wave which destroyed Cell makes a Dimensional rip that drags in an exhausted demi-saiyan which takes him to the 90s on Earth-two where the Kent family along with a 10 year old Kryptonian give him asylum.

Chapter 1: Brothers Till The End?

"HAAAAAAAA!" Gohan roared as he put every last bit of juice that he had in his body onto his father's signature attack. The gargantuan power that was being discharged through his one good hand pushed against the green monsters attack of the same name.

'That's it son! You are doing it! Put everything! Remember all those innocent people who he hurt! Think about your friends he hurt!' Goku motivated the you boy to let it all go, unleash apocalypse on the monster that took away a lot of life.

"No matter what you do you filth! You cannot defeat me! I. Am. The. Perfect. Beinnnnngg!" Cell's Kamehameha began to push against the father son Kamehameha. His face sported a wicked grin as he increased the output of energy used on his attack.

'Son! You have to let it all out! If you are holding back even a little of your power bring it up! If you fall, the universe goes down with you!' Goku's spirt shouted in desperation. But it wasn't in vain, as Gohan juiced up more on to his attack, his and Cell's feet dug into the hard earth, forming another two craters in addition to the growing enormous one under the spot where the two beams collide.

In the side, a drowsy Vegeta slowly picked himself to his feet. His vision cleared and the first thing he saw was his sons corpse, missing the small twitch on Trunks's brow. The Saiyan prince ground his teeth in angry and anguish. His son, halfbreed or not, he was still his flesh and blood, lay dead before him. "Rargh!" Vegeta's body powered up to his Super Saiyan form and he knew he didn't have much time with this form.

"You green piece of maggot shit mother fucker! You took my son! Final Flash!" Vegeta's entire reserve juiced up with his fury made a near Kamehameha size blast that went straight onto the unguarded right side of the green skinned monster, temporarily causing him to reduce the output on his main attack to put up a defensive barrier to block the ambush from the right.

"Now Gohan!" The demi-saiyan's Namekian mentor roared at the same time his father did from the other world. Emptying all off his ki into the blue tinted attack Gohan overpowered the counter Kamehameha.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO! THIS CAN'T BE! I AM CELL! I AM PERFECTIONNNN!" Cell screamed as the beam burned into his skin and flesh, reaching all the way to his powerful endoskeleton.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Gohan roared into the white oblivion light that started to spread as his Kamehameha smashed onto the monstrosity in front of him. Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin and all others gathered were blown away by the sheer force of the resulting power discharge.

In the other world King Kai stumbled back as his psychic link was broken from the multiple waves of energy that continued to transmit around the demi-saiyan and the bio android. "Whoa! This is totally off the charts! In my hundreds of years of existence, I have only seen this form of power a few times..." He admitted while Goku who was floating on the side looked at him.

"King Kai, can you please show me what's happening?" He pleaded and the Northern ruler closed his eyes and focused again, trying to reestablish his psychic link so they can get back the visuals again.

After minutes of focusing the Kai looked at Goku with a grim expression and shook his head. "I am sorry Goku, but...the only thing I can see are the energy dome and your friends who are blasted away from the area." He looked at the worried look on his disciple and felt even more helpless. Suddenly a twitch occurred on his antenna. "Cell has perished, he has entered the checkpoint and us being thrown into Hell."

The revelation let out a small sigh from the Saiyan, at least one burden was over, now everything can go back to normal, right? After all the dragon balls are at the ready. "Well the major problem is down, right King Kai?" Goku Dat down on the floating bit of the destroyed midget planet.

Goku didn't get a response though, and when he looked to the side he saw the floating Northern ruler had his shoulders stiff and his brows tensed while a bead of sweat came down his forehead. "Goku...I don't know how to say this...but Gohan is...gone." Even he was at loss when he spoke.

"...what..?"

.

.

.

Gohan was having a front seat experience of how it felt to be burnt alive. He knew Cell was dead, he saw it moments before he was blinded by the overwhelming energy that continued to coil around the area. It didn't help the fact that he was completely juiced out, he utilized the last of his reserves on that green monster and what remained of his and Cell's Kamehameha swirled around him.

"Dammit..." Gohan came down to his right knee and held himself up with his nearly burned out right arm. There was no way out, he was in Hell, clear white and hot. That's when he felt it. Cool breeze, almost as if rain was blowing against his face, ever so lightly. It was faint, but it was an exit, an exit from this vortex of volatile energy. Falling to his abdomen, he dragged himself towards that part where he felt his redemption. "Yes...almost there..come on..." Each pull made the energy distance itself, each pull made him nearer to the cool breeze and rain. Until, all of a sudden. "What the-" He was taken into the sky, water and debris crashed into his body in a swirling manner. A tornado. The demi-saiyan unable to fight the current and from the blood loss that took his consciousness allowed the violent wind to do as it pleased with him.

Smallville, Kansas,Thursday June 17, 1994.

The atmosphere was dark and cloudy with the wind blowing at a ridiculous speed. The air was humid but it still hasn't began to rain. Far away from the town and into one of the farms, a family of three were busy moving their harvest to safety.

"Martha, everything ready?" A middle aged man wearing a yellow rain coat dragged an average sized corn bag. Following him was a boy of no more than ten years of age holding two of those same bags on either of his shoulder with an annoyed look. He wore a full sleeved shirt and a worn out blue jeans with a cap that covered a lot of his long black hair.

"All set and covered John!" The lady named Martha gave a thumbs up at her husband as he and their son dropped the bags on to the pile into the underground storage. She turned and saw her sons annoyed face before grabbing his cheek. "Why so serious, grumpy face?" The boy whined at the gesture of affection.

"Maaa..I am not a baby anymore!" He protested. "And why are we doing all this again? The storms over 20 miles and there's not even the vague sound of it coming near us!" The boy complained.

"Clark, what did I tell about taking precautionary measures? You'll never know when something bad can happen." Johnathan lectured his son. "Remember son, it's not just us that depend on these crops, we are feeding a lot of people and not one harvest have we missed." He placed his hand on the boy's shoulder and looked expectantly at him.

"Yes Paa. I get it." He sighed and looked away into the dark horizon.

"Come on boys, let's get you two some hot chocolate!" Martha's words cheered both father and son as they went inside their cozy little home.

It didn't take long for the rain to come and drizzling soon turned into a maelstrom, each drop was as bog as a pebble and hit the windows like the same too. Luckily for them, this was the worst it could get as the tornadoes were moving north, saving their fields and town. Even with the rain water hitting his window, Clark was not at all bothered. What was he? That question plagued him.

Dinner went by quickly with his mind still plagued by the unanswered questions that kept on poking him. Who was he? Why was he sent here? The purpose? He wished he could share the same thought as his mother and father who believed in him to discover about himself in due time. Till then what?

CRASH!

Martha gasped in shock. "What was that?" She looked over to Johnathan.

"Something crashed into the barn." Clark pointed out as he got up along with his father who quickly got his rain coat and walked out of the house and into the rain. The lightning lit the area and allowed the human to see what was the damage and sighed in relief as the object only made a rip on the side, the horses and hens perfectly away from harm and it seems the object went into the field from the path cleared into the field.

Clark's eyes widened. "Dad, that's a person who crashed into the barn!" He exclaimed and ran into the field followed by Johnathan. Approaching the end of the divide, the father and son were shocked beyond belief upon seeing a boy no older than Clark black spiky hair in a crater twice his size. His clothes were in batters and his left arm was twisted in an odd way but more than that he was still breathing.

"My God..." Johnathan bent down and picked him up with Clark holding his umbrella over them as they rushed inside the safety of their house.

An hour or so later, at the hospital...

"Good thing you brought him John, although nothing serious is there to worry about." The doctor told the family as he removed his used glove and threw it in the trash before taking his seat, motioning the Kent family to sit.

"What about his shattered arm?" Johnathan asked confused. He remembered picking up the boy and how his left arm was like jello.

"What shattered arm? Other than a few cuts and bruises his arm was only dislocated a bit." The Kents decided to keep it that way instead of asking more questions. "So any idea about who the kid is?" The doctor asked the man.

"No clue, he's not around from Smallville anyway." Johnathan replied.

"Can you keep him at your house till Tuesday morning? The weather forecast informed about the tornadoes heading this way, so till the storm clears off, it would be more safe at your house to keep him." The doctor requested. And being the kind family they were accepted the boy without another word.

Two days had passed since the unnamed boy had landed in their field through their barn and still hasn't woken up. They knew he was not normal, especially after seeing most of his bruises disappear taking most of the past two days. Occasionally Martha would come up with some warm water in a bowl to wipe clean his face and Johnathan or Clark might tag along to change his sheet as some wounds opened randomly and bled.

Sunday morning came by fast and the storm only grew worse each passing day. Due to these severe circumstances the Smallville church was closed till further notice. Clark, having no school sat inside his room trying to focus on the book in his hand but his mind was rolling around the strange boy in their spare room.

'Could he be someone like me?' The question plagued his mind to no end. Hope was one of the emotions. It could mean that he was truly not all alone in this planet. In the sense, taking his species into account. That's when he heard it.

Martha and Johnathan sat near the window draped in a blanket as they sipped on their coffees. "What do you think is going to happen to the boy?" Martha asked her husband with silent fear.

I don't know, people know he is not from here and when the storm clears the authorities will take custody of him...I mean for all we know he could be a kid who can just heal himself fast?" He knew it himself about how ridiculous he sounded. But he was powerless here. "What if he has parents worried about him, people like us?" That was more reasonable and Martha seemed to understand it.

"Mmm..you are right, they might be people who are also trying to protect their children, like Clark.." Martha agreed as she leaned in to Johnathan's shoulder. The couple shared a moment of blissful silence only to be interrupted by their son coming down the stairs fast.

"Maa! Paa! He's up!" The husband and wife didn't need anymore words as they dropped the blanket and followed their son...outside? Clark didn't bother for a raincoat while his parents stopped for taking their resistive items. Not at all bothered by the rain hitting him hard and drenching his body, he rushed towards the field, pausing only to observe the drag marks on the gooey mud near the spare bedrooms window and towards the corn field...where a path was made through the fallen crops.

"Martha, wait here. I and Clark will go see what is happening." Johnathan indicated to the veranda, Martha nodded her head and gave him the spare umbrella and watched them go into their semi destroyed fields.

For Johnathan and Clark, it was as if walking through a path created by locusts, the unhatvested corns were all gone and the path was lead into their tomatoe section where the same sight was noted. The trail ended at the overflowing river. "Dammit..." Johnathan cursed under his breath.

"Paa! He's over there!" Clark pointed to the middle of the river making Johnathan wipe off the water on his brows and tried to get a visual. There was nothing, but he believed in Clark's words. Ad if to solidify the statement, a body skipped out of the heavy current like a dolphin and to their side with a wooden spear, obviously made from the tomatoe supports, that had a bunch of large fishes needled to it. One large fish struggled on his mouth and another on his arm. Clark looked at his guest in awe.

"Young man-" Johnathan was about to scold him when a small wave of heat attacked them, nothing harmful, just a warm sensation before it was overwhelmed by the cold rain. But what they saw next scarred them for eternity, the rain was not falling on the strange boy anymore, and the fish on his being were all dead and fried, he sucked in the large fish into his mouth like a vacuum cleaner sucking in paper followed by the one in his hand and on the spear, all of it swallowed whole.

Finally the boy turned his attention to the father and son whose jaws were slightly hanging down. A nervous look came over his face as he gave a nervous wave, along with the makeshift spear. "Hi?"

A little later...

Clark, Gohan, Johnathan and a slightly confused Martha sat around the dinner table, all attention focused on the spiky haired teen. "So...Gohan, would you like some cookies?" She opened the container top and held the cookie jar at him, immediately making his eyes spark, he reached out and took one.

The demi-saiyan sat in a pair of three forth and a Tshirt both of it borrowed from Clark. "Thank you...?" He waited for her name.

"Martha." The woman smiled warmly at him, somewhat reminding a calmer version of Bulma's mom.

"Mrs. Martha." He gave a small polite bow before biting on to the cookie.

"So what are you?" Overcome by his excitement, Clark asked bluntly, startling the young demi-saiyan.

"Clark.." That long way of saying his name always scared the boy, especially when Martha gave him 'the look'. She turned to their guest and smiled apologetically. "Sorry about Clark, he's a bit excited...oh and please call me Martha, as people say, 'Mrs' makes me feel old."

The Son of Krypton quickly cleared his throat and introduced himself. "Sorry..I am Clark Kent." He gave a smile which Gohan returned.

"Nice to meet you Clark." He gave the other super human a small bow which he returned in an unrefined way causing his head to hit the table and shatter it in the process, but the demi-saiyan was quick enough to save the cookie jar.

There was a pregnant silence in the room and all of the Kents were now smiling nervously at the demi-saiyan like he did before. Being the man of the house, Johnathan brought the perfect explanation. "Termites...rainy season right?" He chuckled nervously.

"Come on dad! He's probably not human too! No one can jump out of the river like he did, and that weirdly cool invisible umbrella!" Martha raised an eyebrow and looked at Johnathan with a questioning look to which he nodded, confirming Clark's words were true and turned to look at the boy holding the cookie jar Luke it was a baby.

"Clark! You are being rude!" Martha once again scolded her son who huffed and leaned back into the chair. "I am sorry again for Clark's rude behavior." She knew her son wasn't a rude person, but she didn't know how this individual in front of her would react. Especially after the confirmation about what he did was true.

Gohan looked at the kind woman and smiled. "No. It's okay, I guess there's no use in keeping it a secret when the cats already out of the bush..." He stated with a few chuckles before looking at the curious alien boy. "Well Clark, I am not actually from any other planet, I was born and brought up in Earth." He saw the family's disbelieving look.

"Then how come you could do all that?" The Kryptonian asked the demi-saiyan.

"Well, what I did can be done by anyone, including human beings." Gohan spoke with a smile while looking at the humans.

"Really?" Johnathan wasn't that convinced. Even the most strongest of men can fall for an angry river current. So what chance did they have.

"Well it's all about training your mind and body so that you can control your ki...err...life force." Gohan scratched his neck. "The training is hard, but once you get a base, you can develop your skill and strength to any ratio, from healing a wound..." His right arm glowed blue as he placed it on his almost healed wound on his left arm. When he took it off, the wound was gone.

"Wow! That's amazing!" Clark exclaimed.

"...to destroying mountains." This time the energy came at the tip of his finger in the shape of a blue tinted energy. "Well I can't really destroy anything at the moment because...well...I will have to destroy right?" They knew property damage was the last thing they needed.

"Oh..that is understandable but if you wouldn't mind me asking, do you know something about Clark's people?" Johnathan asked the young warrior politely.

"Before that, I think I'll prepare some hot chocolate as the rain doesn't seem to stop anytime soon and we need to clean this up." She sighed sadly as she looked down at the destroyed table.

"Please. Allow me." Before the Kents could say anything, the Son lifted the weight like it was nothing and looked at Johnathan for instructions, who by the was was taken aback after seeing how somebody else other than his son could lift heavy things with little to no effort.

Snapping out of his trance Johnathan got up. "To the barn." He lead the way after putting on his raincoat. But only after he got out did he realize that he did not require protection from the rain as water fell around the two sapient life forms like a dome. Once inside the barn, Gohan got in first, followed by Johnathan who closed the door behind him and stared at the Z warrior with narrowed eyes.

"Mr. Kent?" Gohan looked at the man, confused by his actions.

"Now I am pretty sure that you are far stronger than me but I want to let you know, that if I find you as a threat to my family, I will fight you, even if it kills me, I will fight you till my last breath." The demi-saiyan could feel the minute spike in the man's ki. His stiff shoulders and the thin sheet of sweat that covered his forehead was a clear indication of his words being serious.

Walking over to the middle aged man, the demi-saiyan stood two feet from him, staring straight into his eyes before speaking. "I give you my word Mr. Kent, I do not have any intention of harming you or your family, you have given me asylum and you showed me human beings can be compassionate and can look over the difference of race and species. For that I respect you." Johnathan stared at the boy for a while, trying to find any dishonesty in his words but ultimately sighed and gave the boy a nod and wrapped his arm around his shoulder and the two exited the barn.

Getting back inside, the two males went straight to the living room where Martha and Kent were sipping on hot chocolate while sitting on the bigger couch. "Hey you too, yours is there." She didnt have to point where the drink was as Gohan was already in front of it.

"So Gohan, if you are not a human, what are you?" Clark, as expected was the first to start of the conversation. "Gohan paused a little and stared at the chocolate.

"I didnt say I was not human..." he began. he looked back up at his fellow outlander. "I am half human..." He smiled at the family.

"What about your other half?" The son of Krypton asked once again.

"Saiyan..." It didn't make sense to them. "My father was a Saiyan...they were kind of brokers in the universe..." He nervously spoke.

"Like realestate?" Johnathan asked pointedly.

"Well...uh...sort of...except it was on a planetary basis." Still they were not thataffected. So he decided to shorten the story and give it to them. "Using my father as an example, I will try to help. Saiyans are primitive sapient beings much like human beings but has monkey like tail, super strength and a huge thirst in fightng...so they were hired by this evil galactic lord over a hundred years before and made them into his brokers. My father as an infant was sent to Earth..." Gohan paused and was a little satisified because of their small bit of understanding that things are going to go south.

"So...I am guessing your people weren't that nice?" Johnathanjoked but Gohan could only give a nervous chuckle.

"Yea..well...when Frieza, the tyrant lord get any good bids for a planet...either for luxry or scientific purposes...he sends my people to wipe out the planets life form...just like how they send my father to destroy Earth..." He paused and caught the sight of mistrust that came over Johnathan's features. so he quickly added. "Luckily he hit his head as a baby and destroyed the chip that was surgically placed and became the defender of Earth when he grew up..."

"Defending us from what?" Martha asked the demi-saiyan. "Frieza?"

Gohan shook his head. "He..we..weren't defending you exactly, he was defending the Earth in our universe...you see...i am from an alternate reality..."

August 4, 1994

"That should be it John. May God bless you and your family for taking in another poor orphaned soul." The reverend come caretaker of the Church and orphanage under the church said to the Kent family who stood with Gohan in formal clothing.

The storm (un)fortunately did not stop for the remainder of June and only halted in the middle of July, by then, the Kents got too attached with Gohan to hand him over to Child Services. Especially Clark who finally felt he could relate himself to someone. Martha as the matriach couldn't help herself from caring for the boy who lost too much and Johnathan..well he liked the kid too.

"So John, will young Gohan be attending junior high with Clark?" The priest asked his close friend who looked down at Gohan who nodded affirmatively.

"Guess so...besides, he should start knowing about the world and fast..." there was a double meaning in it and Gohan nodded understandingly.

"Good good. Everything is going according to the Lord's plan." The priest escorted the family outside and saw them off till their car disappeared from his view.

"So dad, when is he going to start school?!" Clark excitedly asked.

"Well we need to buy him all the stationery and a few new threads. Brush him up on his General knowledge...this world's." Johnathan smiled through the rear view. "Next week tops. And you can show him around and explain to him how things work." He added, broadening the Kryptonian's smile and excitement.

Reaching his new home, Gohan got out, followed by Clark who appeared in front of him, startling Martha from her son's sudden display of speed. She quickly smiled and looked at the two newly formed siblings. "Have fun and stay safe!" She said as they both walked off into the distance with Clark's arm over Gohan's shoulder.

"Sure Mom!" The Kryptonian replied.

"Got it!" Gohan gave a thumbs up.

Martha and Johnathan watched the two kids set off into the sun rise. "Look at'em. They are meant to be brothers." Johnathan spoke warmly as he picked up the bags and came next to Martha.

"That they are..." Martha entwined her hands into his free one as she saw the two disappear in midwalk. "Hope those two don't get into any trouble." She sighed worried.

Meanwhile with the two super humans, both of them were beyond visual speed and has already crossed Kansas. "Wow! I didn't know I could do this!" Clark yelled out excitedly as he tried to keep up with Gohan who had his arm stretched back, much like how his father used to run on King Kai's planet.

"Keep up!" Gohan cheered as he jumped over a lake while his brother took the path around it. All this started because Gohan asked if Clark did any sports and surprisingly, the timid boy gained a challenging look against the demi-saiyan, both having never competed against anyone of their age because of their power took the opportunity to see their position. And so far, the seasoned fighter had the upper hand.

"Hey! You jumped over it!" Clark complained with a laugh.

"No I didn't! If I jumped, it would have slowed me down!" Gohan stuck out his tongue at him.

"Then? You flew?" Came the sarcastic reply.

"Yea! Although only a little!"

"Can I fly?"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, we'll do something about it!'

"Yes!"

Soon a week passed by and Gohan stood in a blue jeans and a dull green full sleeved shirt and a cap, he and Clark stood at the side of the road waiting for the school bus to come. "Gohan, if someone gives you a hard time, just ignore it. You can't shoe your powers." Clark advised the spiky haired boy who's hair was shortened to spikes straight up with one escaping down his cap.

"Yea, it would be problematic..." He agreed.

The sound of the old engine marked the indication of the arrival of the school bus, but it was miles away, super hearing you know... after fifteen minutes or so it stopped in front of them and the grumpy driver openedthe door. "Get in fast or stay there." He gave a curious glance at the demi-saiyan who smiled and gave a wave.

"Oh look it's dumb Kent...and who are you? His 'lackey'?" Kenny Braverman and Pete Ross laughed from the latter's comment, joined by the taunts of their lackeys. Gohan and Clark went through the bullies who were blocking their path without hurting them even accidentally.

Gohan understood what his friend and brother went through till now, having to hold back all the time, the other kids saw it as a weakness. He sighed sadly and leaned back on the seat next to Clark who looked as expressionless as a pumpkin. 'This treatment won't be much different from my world...' Gohan thought grimly.

Smallville High wasn't much of a big building, but it had all the basic elements needed for a normal high school. And it didn't take long for the demi-saiyan to get a nick name, 'Nerdhan'. But he was ok with that, because he didn't have to hang out with all these snobby brats except for Clark's only friend Lana. She was nice and smart. She helped him with Clark to get settled with school life...which apparently was below average for the Saiyan who comes from an Earth where hovercars, capsulisation, and on a personal level, space travel super healing and gravity manipulation. But he was quite interested with this genius fellow called Albert Einstein. E=mc2. Something his world totally missed.

"So Gohan, what do you want to be when you grow up?" Lana and Clark sat opposite to him as they were having lunch. Gohan stopped his shoveling and looked at the girl for a few seconds before assuming a thinking look.

After a while of boring the two, he gave an uncertain reply. "Hmm..well my mom wanted me to become a doctor...cardiology or orthopedics..not so sure.." He immediately went back to attack his food.

Swallowing the bile that rouse up from the sight that she was trying to cope up with, Lana forced her eyes on to the demi-saiyan's forehead. "Well I think you can do both Gohan...you are just too smart." She encouraged, earning a smile from the boy.

"I heard from Clark that you wanted to pursue journalism?" He asked wiping his mouth.

"Well...it is a thought, not so sure yet..." Lana sighed.

A few months passed and another storm hit Smallville, no tornadoesluckilyand that was why the two brothers were currently perched on a private location in the red canyon away from tourists and surveillance systems.

Gohan took up his meditative lotus position, motioning the Kryptonian to do the same. "Clark, before we start, there are some basic theoretical in formation that you need to understand." He nodded at the demi-saiyan's words. "Ki or life force as you call it is present in all living organisms and sometimes in artificial ones too. It is like energy...not the same thing that we obtain through eating, that is physical energy, something that is equally required for the harmony to be achieved."

"So like how does this ki get refilled? Or is it like never-ending?" Clark pointed out his doubt.

"Uh..well it's not that difficult once you get a hang of things, and that's why I said that physical energy is also required for ki, not directly, but only if the container..." He pointed at himself. "...is strong enough, will the ki be ableto grow."

"Oh. That makes sense now. So how do we begin? Like do I have to eat something weird?" Gohan chuckled at his friends words before shaking his head no.

"Nah. You don't need to do that. In fact you are in a little more advanced level, from what Maa told, you can pretty much empty your mind and relax, right?" Clark gave a nod to Gohan. "OK, then do it." He closed his eyes upon the instruction and was at zen in a few seconds. Seeing that his friend was on the right track, he went on to the next phase. "Now...search deep inside you..."

Without breaking his peace, Clark asked close eyed. "What am I supposed to search?"

"I can't really define it, but it's warm and will raise the hair in your body." Giving silence as the reply, Clark continued his search for what Gohan said. Minutes passed by and Gohan too joined him in meditation."Hn?" At the feeling of a sudden spike, Gohan opened his eyes and was surprised to see Clark glowing with a white aura. "Good work! You did the first task!" At Gohan's words Clark opened his eyes and gasped at the way he was surrounded by this mist of light.

"Wow." Teaching Clark how to fly was more difficult than he thought, the main reason was even though the young Kryptonian could relax and restrain his powers in normal life, he had whatsoever no control in other applications. Everytime he gets off a feet or two from the ground, his excitement breaks in and he would have blast himself to the orbit if nor for Gohan.

.

.

.

Then that day came, the unfortunate accident that made their bus fall into the river and Clark responding, immediately exposing his strength to some of the students including Lana as he pushed it to the shore and saved Pete Ross.

"Mrs. Ross, I am pretty sure that this is all just a misunderstanding, Clark is as normal as any boy, he's just a little reserved that's all." Martha spoke sincerely to Pete Ross's mother while Johnathan stood at the side.

"No Martha, Pete saw what Clark did! So did Lana and the other kids." Mrs. Ross stated.

Wanting to dislodge the situation fast, Martha got up and smiled. "I'm sure they did, they are kids right?" She could see the annoyance in the other woman's face. "Let me go get some coffee-"

"No! Martha, listen to me." Mrs. Ross stood up abruptly and moved towards the door and opened it before looking at Martha. "I know what Clark did, it is a sign Martha, an act of God about something that's going to happen."

"I think you are blowing it our of proportion." Johnathan tried to help his wife.

"No Johnathan, this isn't the first time Clark has done something like this. This is providence Johnathan." And she left.

Outside, Clark sat at the back of the pick up truck with his head down listening to the conversation between his parents and Mrs. Ross. Gohan stood leaning on the truck with a sympathetic look before averting his eyes on to the approaching Johnathan who came and stood on the other side and looked at his son.

"I just wanted to help..." Clark sadly spoke.

"I know, but we talked about this right? You and Gohan, you both have to keep this side of yourselves a secret." The middle aged man looked at the demi-saiyan for support but got none.

"Paa you need to understand, the only reason why people are talking about Clark is because I was a second late from acting at the situation." Gohan spoke sincerely as he came and sat next to his brother before placing his hand over the other boys shoulder.

"What was I supposed to do then? Just let them die?" He grimly asked.

"Maybe..." Johnathan's reply shocked the two, even the said man was not proud about his choice either. "There is...there is more at stake here you two, Gohan you do understand our Earth is a lot behind than yours, right?" The boy nodded in understanding. "It's more than our lives or the ones around us...it's about the world...when they find out what you two can do...it's going to change everything...our beliefs, our notion...and what it's to be human.."

"He's right about that brother, you saw how Pete's mom reacted right? She was just scared and your world is scared of what they don't understand..." Gohan pointed out.

Clark looked up at his father. "Was she telling the truth? Did God do this to me?" Johnathan looked at his son sadly for a moment and stood up.

"Come with me, the both of you." He began to stride towards the barn leaving behind the two confused aliens who quickly got up and followed the man. Once inside, he locked the barn with the three of them inside and went over to a corner and wiped away the hay with his feet before opening an underground door.

Clark and Gohan went down following the man who turned on the lights and exposed something large draped with a vehicle cover. He pulled it off. "A pod..." Gohan looked curiously at the transport.

"We found you in this Clark..." Johnathan began. "We were fully expecting the government to show up in our door steps..." He walked over to the table kept on the side with a tray on it, he took a pencil like black object. "But no one ever came...this was in there with you." He gave it to the Kryptonian.

"What is this?" Clark asked curiously looking over it.

"Don't know, I took it to a metallurgist in Kansas State, he said it didn't exist in the period table...it's another way of saying that, it was not from this world...neither are you..." Clark was calm about it, maybe if the demi-saiyan wasn't in his life it would have been different.

"Can I give it a look?" Gohan spoke up as he pointed at the small piece in Clark's hand which the latter gave without any complaints. "Paa's right, this isn't from this world, in fact it is from a totally different Quadrant of the Universe, in my Universe, the Gods call it Katchin, the densest and most rarest metal. Here try to break it." He threw it at Clark who tried to crush it, but had no result.

"You two are the answer for man kinds greatest question...'are we alone?' One day...people will see you different...you two have a greater role.." He placed his hands on their shoulders. "But me and your mom will always love you..."he hugged them both.

Seven years passed...

"It's almost time for the ceremony to start, where are those three?!" Martha was nearly ready to use her inner demon. A soft giggle came from the side, Lana, who has now grown into a beautiful young woman, she wore her black ceremonial gown and hat as she gave Martha a hug and a kiss on her cheek which the older woman returned with a sudden change of attitude. "Aww..you look so beautiful Hon." Martha caressed the girls soft cheek admiringly. "I still don't see why Clark's not fallen for you." This caused the girl to giggle more with a small flush.

"Good to see you too Mrs. Kent, don't be too hard on them, cus you know, they're men, I will have to take the seat now." Martha gave a nod and watched her leave.

"Such a sweet girl." Lana didn't miss the words that came from Martha's mouth, and mentally cheered for herself. That's some brownie points she got.

"Hi mom!"

"Hi Maa!"

"Hi Martha! Beautiful day right!" Clark and Gohan quickly passed by while Johnathan took one for the team.

But Martha was in no mood to take in their jokes. "Gohan Son and Clark Kent! You two get your butt right here this instant or I am counting. One..."

"So close..." Gohan whimpered as he along with his brother turned around grimly and snail trailed to their mother. But upon a closer look on the two individual one couldn't ignore the fact that they both changed. Standing at an equal height of 6'2, Gohan had a leaner build while Clark bulked up, not too much but a size more than Gohan.

"Mom we can explain-" The Kent matriach embraced the two, surprising them from the pleasant and caring gesture.

"I am so proud of you two. I love you two so much. Now go get those certificates!" She gave an encouraging push which the two super humans allowed themselves to be stumbled.

Martha saw the two of them going to the front, both having secured exceptional academic performance were the Honor students this year. "When I am walking between those two, I feel like two mountains are covering me. Well all turned out to be well didn't it?" Johnathan smiled at his children.

"Oh we will see how well you are after this ceremony. What were you thinking? What if they missed the ceremony?" Martha knew if her kids wanted they could be here in just in a second. But Johnathan is becoming less responsible and she needed him to be disciplined for that.

The Farewell party for the passing out students began at night, everyone except the super duo were present and frankly both of them weren't missed by any either except for Lana and Pete to some extent.

"You know brother I was thinking about traveling the world...maybe I'll find some answers..." Clark spoke quietly as they both sat on top of the large silo kept in the town.

"Hmm. That is a good plan, besides, you need to go exploring too...I still feel like it was only yesterday when I and my old friends journeyed to Namek...before that my training regime in the forest.." Gohan looked up into the clear moonless sky.

"Yea...sounds like fun times..."

"Yea.."

"Say, what if you get a chance to go back? Will you take it?" Clark asked curiously.

Gohan paused for a while. "Not really sure..." He began. "The thing is I spent nearly the same time in either of the universes...but I would take it...provided find a way to travel back and forth...otherwise no, after all what kinda brother will I be if I abandon my brother?" He joked.

"A lousy one." They shared a moment of amusement.

"You know our motto. Brothers Till The End." Gohan spoke.

"And Brothers Fight Side by Side."
