Hi, my what if Jonathan and Martha did found both Davis and Clark in the cornfield in the meteor shower.
Chapter 1 - What if?
The Kent's were driving home in their red pick-up truck, having just visited the town for supplies for the farm and some tulips for Martha, there they found Lana, Nell's niece who asked Martha to make a wish, she did, she made the same wish she has made for a long time now, a child, and it killed Jonathan that he couldn't make this wish come true for her.
Just before passing the welcome sign to Smallville they felt as the ground started to shake around them and glancing out behind them, they could see many meteors falling from the sky, so neither of them noticed the one that landed in front of them, forcing Jonathan to turn quickly avoiding it and making them crash.
Jonathan started to come out from unconscious and turning his blurred vision out of the window looking at two pair of little feet that belonged to two little boys, two little naked boys.
"Martha?" Martha turned her head to see what her husband was seeing, they could only look at each other in shock
Walking through the field, Martha holding one boy and Jonathan the other, "Kids don't just fall out of the sky Martha, especially not two"
"Then where did they come from" said Martha making her way between the crop field
"I don't know but they must have parents some..." Jonathan words died out just as they found a strange object buried in the ground
"Well, if they do, they're definitely not from Kansas"
"Sweetheart, we can't keep them. What are we going to tell people-we found them out in a field? And two boys Martha? Are we ready for that?"
"We didn't find them Jonathan. They found us, we can't just let them be separated" They both stared at the sky only imagining were could this two boys come from and not even that could get close to the truth
Today
"Clark, Davis you're going to be late for the bus" Martha Kent voice could be heard from the first floor
"Coming mom, once I can get Davis out of the bathroom, come on men you've been in there for hours" Clark still in his sleeping clothes knocking on the bathroom door a little harder
"Just one more minute" said Davis from inside
"That's what you said ten minutes ago" Clark was outside annoyed by the ridiculous time his brother spend every day getting ready for school, especially since he only had to put on his black shirt and pants, though they were brothers their tastes couldn't be more different meanwhile he liked his flannels shirts, Davis liked plain shirts, dark colors specially.
"I don't know what you're complaining about, you can get ready in two seconds" True but Clark wasn't going to agree with his brother now, was he?
"I don't know what you're beauting yourself for, Chloe has already seen you drooling in your sleep"
"What?" said a frantic Davis coming out of the bathroom
"Haha got you" taking the opportunity Clark slipped inside the bathroom
"Cheater" Davis yelled has he made his way to the kitchen not really needing to use the bathroom anymore and opened the fridge taking the bottle of milk and drinking directly from it, he instantly got the bottle taken from him by his mother giving him a look
"What? It tastes better from the bottle"
"Where'd you learn your manners?" Martha said while putting a bowl filled by the same milk on the kitchen isle
"On a farm" Davis responded sitting in front of the bowl and grabbing the box cereal.
Jonathan Kent entered the kitchen by the door just in time to see his son descend the stairs into the kitchen
"Well, good afternoon, sleepyhead" Jonathan told Clark as he sat next to Davis grabbing a bowl and cereal for himself
"Davis is the one who takes an hour in the bathroom and I'm the sleepyhead? Unbelievable" Davis only could smirk to himself; he loved his brother but he loved more to annoy him.
Before Clark could take a bite Davis slipped a paper to his side, Clark notice it and whispered to him "You know his not going to let me"
"You don't lose anything asking"
Seeing the secretive talk between his sons Jonathan decided to intervene "What you got there boys?"
Without hesitation Davis looked up and started to talk in Clark behalf
"It's a permission slip. A couple of spots opened up and they're having tryouts this afternoon" Jonathan took the slip
"Are you trying out son?" The hint of joy wasn't missed in his words
"Actually Clark is the one who wants to try out" Davis turned to Clark to make his point
Jonathan face quickly changed to concern looking to his other son.
Clark chose the moment to jump into the conversation a little more confident now that Davis was helping him "Come on, Dad. You played football in high school"
"That was different Clark"
"Why?" The pleading in Clark voice could be heard.
"You know why" Jonathan gave hard looks to both of the boys "You both do"
"I figured I'd run at half speed and I won't hit anybody"
"A lot of things can happen in the heat of the game, Son"
"Most of new guys hardly even play. Chances are he'll ride the bench half the season" Davis said trying to help Clark convince their father
Then Clark added "Dad, I can be careful"
"I know that you can be careful but what if there's an accident?"
Hearing the little raise in their father's voice Clark and Davis both sighed, sensing the end of the discussion in those words.
"Look Clark, I know this has got to be hard for you, especially you, but you got to just hang in there, like you promised?"
Clark frustrated by the turn of events responded a little bitter "I'm sick of hanging in there. All I want to do is to go through high school without being a total loser" picking up his things he exited the kitchen through the back door leaving Davis and his parents, Jonathan sighs.
"Davis could you check...?" Martha said but didn't need to finish her sentence before Davis responded
"I got it mom" Davis took his things with a disappointed look on his face and followed his brother
Both Jonathan and Martha watched him go with a sad expression on their faces.
Davis caught up with Clark outside the barn "Hey, I'm sorry"
"It's okay, it's not your fault" Clark responded while they both slowly made their way to the farm entrance
"Kind of feels like it"
"No, it was me for wanting to pretend I was normal"
Davis gave Clark a sad look before he glanced up to see the bus just passing the farm entrance nodding to Clark as both of them started to run trying to catch it and failing.
"Well, we were just normally left by the bus" Davis commented receiving a chuckle from Clark
Smiling Clark turned to Davis "Want a ride"
"Alright, but let's just go back to piggy ride this time, the other way just felt too weird"
On the bus Chloe handed Pete some money
"I can't believe neither made it to the stop"
"Statistical Fact, Davis and Clark are always together if one doesn't make it…"
"Neither the other" Chloe completed for him
The bus made it to the school both Chloe and Pete walk up the stairs and entering the school
"So, has someone 'you-know-who' asked you to the dance?"
"For the one hundred time Pete I'm not interested in Davis nor is he into me" Pete noted the last part carried more of a disappointed tone that it was intended
"Okay if you say so"
"Hey guys" Both Pete and Chloe turned to see both brothers greeting them, Clark with a pile of books
"Didn't you… weren't you" Chloe stuttered her words, a big frown on her face
"We took a short cut" Davis answered
"Through what? A Black Hole?" Chloe raised her eyebrow while questioning them
"Would you two excuse our friend, it seems her weirdar is on Def Con 5 she thought something was attacking the bus" Pete grabbed Chloe shoulders and motioning them to continue walking.
Both Clark and Davis turned to glared at each other before following the two other teenagers.
"Just because everyone ignores it doesn't mean the strange doesn't happens in this town"
"Now, you know we'd love to join you and Scooby inside the Mystery Machine for another zany adventure, but we got to hand in these permission slips before homeroom" said Pete referring to Clark's and his permissions to try out for the football team.
"Actually, Pete, I'm having second thoughts. I don't think signing up for the team is such a great idea" Clark said no wanting to tell the real reason he couldn't try out for the team.
"Clark, listen, this is the only way."
"Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. You three are trying out for the football team? What is this, some sort of teen suicide pact?" Chloe stopped and turned to the three boys behind her
"Actually it's just the two of them" Davis pointed his finger between Clark and Pete.
Pete pulls Chloe to the side and whispers "We're trying to avoid becoming this year's scarecrow"
"What are you talking about? And why are we whispering?"
"It's a Homecoming tradition. Every year before the big game, the football players select a freshman, take him off to Reilly Field, strip him down to his boxers and then paint an "S" on his chest"
"And then string him up like a scarecrow" Clark added
"Jeez, that sounds like years of therapy waiting to happen" Chloe to this newly information
"Why do you think we're trying out for the team? Figure they won't choose one of their own" Pete finished
Davis just looked at Clark and his lowering his head, no buying it was the reason he wanted to try out for the team.
Clark looked up and when he did he spotted Lana Lang
"I'll see you guys in class" he told them before he started walking his way to Lana
Before he arrived to his destination Pete pulled out some money and then Chloe did the same.
"Give him ten seconds" said Pete
"Five" said Chloe
"Three" Finally said Davis watching Clark make his way to Lana
They started to count in unison"1, 2, 3-"
Clark falls to the ground scattering his books on the floor
"That's cheating, he's your bother" Said Chloe as Davis collected money from both of them yeah it wasn't exactly right to use his brother like that but it was easy money "By the way, why aren't you trying for the team? Aren't you scare of the tradition?" said Chloe to him while putting a dramatic voice at the end
"No, not really, I call it life experiences"
"I knew you were the weird one of the two" Chloe said teasing him
Davis turned to watch Lana helping Clark with his books still on the floor
"No, not really" Davis thought of Clark abilities while saying it, then school bell rang
"We'll catch up with you guys later" Said Davis making his way to help Clark who found himself again on the floor Lana already gone, everyone starting to enter the school always leaving them the only two left in the yard.
"I don't know what you're keep trying, you know we get sick within five feet from her" Davis told Clark as he crouched down helping him pick up his books
"I know, I just think maybe someday would be different" Clark said still a little dizzy but regaining his focus and strength
"Well that day, it's not today come on" Said Davis helping him up
School was officially over and from a corner Davis watched has Chloe put her books inside her locker, trying to build up courage, finally deciding "It now or never"
"Hey" without meaning it he made her jump in surprise
"Geez, you know for someone so tall you surely are stealthy" Chloe breath out her scare and put the last of her book inside the locker and closing it giving now Davis her full attention
"So, I was wondering if no one has asked you, if you wanted to go to the dance…with me" he said the last a few seconds later as it was not clear, and pointing himself.
"Oh" This took Chloe by surprise, didn't know quite what to say, leaving her mouth open for a second
Davis seeing her hesitation tried to back off a little "you know it doesn't have to be a date-date thing, it can be a friend-friend thing"
Well that was encouraging thought Chloe "Yeah, of course, who better to go with than my best friend, right?" said Chloe smiling to him
"Right" Davis nodded, smiling too, she always had that effect on him, since they were little kids.
Davis was the one put in charge of showing her around Smallville on her first day and since that day they had been friends, sure she was friend with Clark and Pete too but she and Davis just clicked together in a whole different level, now in their teens there was always the big "if" in their relationship, to take it more than friendship or to not take it more than friendship. To tell the truth Chloe was so confused by Davis, some days it looked like he made the effort to make it more and then other day just pulled out completely.
By the school entrance Clark motioned at Davis if he was ready to go
"Okay so see you later?" Davis asked
"Okay" said Chloe watching him leave the smile in her face never disappearing.
They were walking by the bridge in their way home and Davis could notice the gloomy state of his brother as they both stopped by the railing, something they usually do when they weren't actually looking forward to make it home.
"You okay?" Davis asked Clark
"Yeah just thinking, do you believe there are others like us somewhere?"
Davis frowned a bit thinking of his answer "Sorry to break it to you but, not even you and I are the same, I mean I don't have super speed, I don't have your strength and I definitely don't have your skin of steel, to tell you the truth now I'm a little jealous thank you very much"
Clark only chuckle at his brother comment "I think you're right" They both just stared out to the river
"I asked Chloe to the dance" Davis blurted out
"Really?" Clark raised both eyebrows "What did she said?"
Talking neither one of them noticed as the trunk passing them dropped a metal coil or the full speed car that lost control over the same metal coil and dashed their way.
They both turned to the sound but without time to react, only to have the car hit Davis, breaking the railing and sending him to the river leaving Clark with a shock expression in his face only reacting while screaming his brother name
"Davis¡"
Martha and Jonathan Kent always wanted kids, they knew that even with only one child they could be the happiest people on the planet, when they found Clark and Davis, Martha immediately saw her wish come true, and although in the beginning Jonathan was a little hesitating to take care of both boys he quickly learned to love them has they were his own.
So when they receive a call implicating their sons and an accident their biggest fear started to come true
"Clark" Martha and Jonathan shouted through the corridors of Smallville local hospital at the sight of their son who was sitting completely wet and wrapped in a blanket, immediately hugging him when they made it to his side, and the first thing they noticed was that he was shaking and hugging them back for dear life, their son has never shake before, he never had cold or feel hot, and that's when they notice his glassy eyes too.
"God Clark, what happen?"
"I didn't push him away" He told them but didn't make much sense to them
"Miss and Mr. Kent?" a doctor asked quietly
"Yes, were is our son?" asked Jonathan to the doctor
"I'm sorry we tried everything we could, but your son's injuries where severe and by the time..."
Everything went in slow motion for Clark after the first words, the echo of his own breaths loud on his ears, the voice of the doctor dimming as explained everything to his parents and he only caught the doctor last words
"I'm sorry but your son died"
Okay done by now, love it? Hate it? Interesting? Not interesting at all?
I would love to know so review :)
