A week ago Ultra Woman and Superman had dealt with a tropical storm in the Gulf which had been threatening Pensacola, Florida.
So, just after Hurricane then.
house hurricane named Lucy.
Thirteen year old Jon and eleven year old Lara were both in on the family secret and were both too excited by the upcoming trip to be able to sleep.
So, they will be free to work on powers, then?
Clark said, “Okay, Jon and Lara the two of you need to keep an eye on things while we are away. We should be back in just a few minutes.”
Because that went *so* well last time.
“Aww Sis, you’re just like Mom, correcting me the same way she does Dad.”
Usually I think of it the other way around, with Clark correcting Lois. Didn't she tell him not to edit her rants once?
With each pair of their siblings that were moved to Smallville the level of excitement that Jon and Lara were experiencing mounted. They tried to watch some TV but that wasn’t even enough of a distraction.
So, why the van then? Just keeping up appearances?
When they exited Clark let the kids into the van. He said, “Okay, Jon, you can sit in the driver’s seat. Lara, you ride shotgun.”
Lara said, “Wow! Just like in ‘The Incredibles’! Will we do a high speed landing like them?”
Ah! Love the tie in too.
A flying van would show up like a small plane and would draw undue attention, but, by staying below five hundred feet they would be below the radar sweep.
It's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's big brother?
Tongue firmly planted in cheek Lois said, “I just don’t know what these kids see in that movie. It’s so unrealistic. A super strong man, a woman that can stretch like a rubber band, a little boy that is super fast and a girl that can turn invisible. Gimme a break. Now, a super strong man, or woman, for that matter who can fly, look through solid objects, freeze things with super cold breath and start fires with heat vision, that I can believe.”
Unknown to campers and councilors alike some of the sparks that had flown up from the fire had still been alight when they landed in the woods which surrounded the camp and several small fires were started.
Oh dear. Superkids to the rescue then?
She ran off, careful not to use her superspeed until she was out of sight.
Good girl!
A little out of breath, but quickly recovering
Hmm...interesting. Because his powers are still developing, or because he's half human?
They flew so fast that their slipstream sucked up water from the lake and pulled it along behind them.
And here I was thinking super breath.
Clark had a hard time hiding the pride in his voice
Awww!
Clark noted that Jon hung there in the air a fraction longer than Lara
Well, he *is* the child of Lois, so of course he'll be an overachiever and beat his dad's flying age.
Fun story!
