“You raised him—Clark I mean…I—sometimes all I can think about is how I didn’t do the one thing my—our…mother asked.” Not as much now that you’re older and Clark’s across the country—saving lives and being a hero. But some nights the guilt digs in.
“You did the most important thing she asked,” she exhales, blinking hard and long, before she can look at you. “You survived.”
“Surviving isn’t—it isn’t enough!” You aren’t shouting, but it’s loud—and you press your lips together, reaching for a pair of glasses that you don’t have.
“Surviving’s all we could have done.” Said like an epiphany, like she’s realizing it too. “We were children, kri-ehl.” The nickname makes you start—she’s smiling, and her eyes crinkle in the corner like your father—like her father—and it hurts because no one has called you that since Krypton. Since your father said goodbye and he pressed his forehead to yours.
