It was evening by the time the Kents returned from the hospital. Martha was
tired and had every right to be, after all this may have been the worst day
of her life. Ever since she was young she had dreamed of having a child of
her own and she had finally been given her chance. However, in an instant
that dream had been crushed. Jonathan help Martha to bed and then left her
alone, he needed to think. Before he knew it he found himself up in Clark's
loft and his own words echoed in his mind. The look on his sons face suck
out in his mind as clearly as a photograph. "What have I done?" he thought.
All of his life he had done everything in his power to be there for Clark,
but now Jonathan had turned his back on him. He had always told Clark that
he wasn't responsible for the meteor shower and this was no different
,however, his anger had blinded him to that truth and perhaps now it was
too late.

Lana laid on her bed, her eyes still filled with tears. Why had Clark left? Why had he turned his back on her and his family? What was so bad that it would cause him to run? This was Clark, ever since she had known him he had never ran from anything, especially not when his family needed him. All of these questions filled her mind tormenting her down to the core. "Everything was so perfect," Lana thought out loud.
A star shines brightest just before it goes out.

Chloe drove away from the Luthor house her mind filled with mixed emotions. Part of her felt guilty, another angry, and yet another sad. Had she done the right thing? Was she exploiting her long time friend for her own personal gain, acting out of jealousy and anger, or was she just moving on fathering her goals at the expense of the one she claimed to love?
"No," she thought to herself. She had lost her dream of being with Clark so now she was just trying achieve her dream of being a journalist. "Besides," she thought "It's not like anything bad is going to happen to Clark." Although, she tried to convince herself that this was true, she couldn't help but doubt it. What did Lionel Luthor want with Clark anyway? Only time would tell.

Pete sat on a bench outside his house staring blankly into the distance. "Man Clark you've really done it this time," he said in a depressive tone. How would Clark's mother react when she realized that she had lost both of her children? Everything was falling apart and there was nothing he could do about it. Pete clenched his fist in frustration, Clark had always been able to save everybody. Now it was Clark who need the saving, his body may be nearly indestructible but his heart was as vulnerable as that of any other man. "Dammit, just this once I wish I could be the one to do the saving!" Pete cursed into the night air. "Clark, I'll find a way to save you, even if it means saving you from yourself."

A space craft broke through the atmosphere setting down in the mountains. The ships metallic surface reflected its surroundings like a mirror before light suddenly shone throw cracks that before were almost invisible. The cracks widened as the space craft slowly opened and two figures walked out from the bright interior.
The taller of the aliens briefly examined his surroundings, "So this is earth."
