Another great part.
There are Kryptonian-human hybrids that came into being because of the invasion and the behavior of the invaders, although there is no grand conspiracy among them to conquer the Earth. I believe I've found most of them and am searching for the others. I doubt there are many, but I'm personally training the ones I've located to use their abilities so they don't become a danger to those around them. I think you would agree that it's necessary for people with such power to know how to control it."
The premise that the New Kryptonians left children behind is a great one. I really like how you're exploring it through several fics. The topic
deserves several fics.
Again, Clark held up a hand. "I'll do my best," he said. "But first you need to learn to control what you can do. Would you like some help?"
A great point. Clark doing what he does best, helping. But here it's not the flashy rescues or the super-powered saves. No, it's basically being a parent. The toughest job in the world, and the most necessary.
He'll be acting as a father to the half-Kryptonians. An important role as probably many of them lack that - Linda Lennox, whose stepfather tried to kill her (in a previous fic), and now Allynda, whose father certainly isn't winning any prizes in the "good role model" department. And yet proper parenting is so important.
"Helping people is what Superman does," Allynda said. She looked very determined, suddenly.
Her mother looked at her and then back at Clark. "I guess it is," she said. "But thank you anyway."
This is great! Probably no one ever thanks Superman - people probably just take him for granted by now. (Although I'd like to think that the people he rescues will do the right thing and express their appreciation, but some, I'm sure, don't.)
"Well," Clark said, "I want to find out about this guy." He produced the card that Tanya had given him. "This is the private detective that Tanya hired to find her ex-husband. He hasn't managed to find a trace of Morris Myers in three years, even though they know where he was two years ago, when Ally escaped."
Lois raised her eyebrows. "That seems kind of unlikely," she said. "I mean, Myers could just be really good at concealing his identity, but it seems a bit suspicious."
Man! These days, with everything available on the internet, a private detective should have no trouble
at all finding someone! Unless, of course, 1) the detective is incompetent; 2) the detective is being bought off by the other party; or 3) (ominous music) the government, e.g., Bureau 39, is involved somehow and is covering for Allynda's father.
Of course, now that Lane and Kent are on the case, I expect Ben to be found within the next forty-eight hours.
