Clark was sitting in the sand and watching the tide roll back in. He wore his jeans, which he knew was slightly unorthodox but the sea gazing had been an impromptu sort of decision. His red bat-symbol muscle t-shirt lay discarded next to him over his boots with his socks stuffed inside. He slicked his hair back, running his fingers through it while ( Read more... )

Kon didn't see Clark come to the beach mostly because his back was to it. Instead, he was swimming out to the perfect spot to catch a wave. A few minutes later and he was whooping and riding the waves. He was in the zone and it was one of the best feelings he could manage to find on the island.

He didn't see Clark until he was back on the beach and removing the leash from his ankle. The smile dropped off his face as if it had never been and he swallowed.

"Hey." He didn't really want to talk to Clark, but he wasn't going to be rude.

Clark hadn't noticed Kon, either, truthfully. He was busy focusing on the breaking of the tide. He stirred at the sound of a voice that sounded similar to his own, and he tensed for a moment, before he relaxed. Clark cleared his throat, glanced at the new comer, and gave him a nod hello ( ... )

Kon shrugged and planted the board, leaning against it. "Kind of comes with being a clone. No umbilical cord and less than three years of life history to pull from." He was tempted to leave, but now that he was face to face with Clark, there was something he had to say. Not for himself.

For Lois.

"I don't know if you know her. I think you might have met in Metropolis, and I don't care if you don't want to know your future. Lois Lane is here. The last thing she knew, you'd died and her world had shattered. I don't care what you say to me or how much you condemn me, but if you say anything that hurts her, we'll have a problem."

Clones. That was. Well, new. He wasn't sure how he felt about that. Well, no, he knew exactly how he felt about that, but it wasn't something that he was about to share. The kid looked harmless enough. Still, it was one of the things, when the whole business of cloning was in the news, that Clark had been afraid of. That his family had been afraid of. If the government did find him, want to use him as a weapon, or kill him - would they try and recreate what he could do?

It had always been a scary concept. It was scary enough knowing the things that he was capable of. There was more than one occasion that Clark didn't trust himself or was secretly afraid of what he might do. Maybe that's why he spent so much time trying to help people. To prove to himself and everyone around him that he wasn't a monster.

Lois. The name almost brought a smile to his face until that last bit and his smile faltered. Died. Clark had narrowly escaped death more times than he'd care to remember but... He blinked and grabbed his shoes. His brow furrowed, ( ... )
