(no subject)
who: Jonathan Kent (
supersweet) and Clark Kent (
signifies)
what: father-son bonding by way of lasers
when: 4/17
where: Abandoned Area
warnings: N/A
After sending the text to his father, Jon zipped down to the abandoned area. One of the great things about super speed was being able to use it and knowing no one could catch him at it. The not-so-great thing was the rubber burn afterwards. Jon blows on them gently, cooling them off. He couldn't hear his father yet but he'll be here soon.
And then what? Jon thought, biting down on his lower lip. Wow him with the powers you can't control? Impress him with the suit you made? He tugs on the cloak. It had been Krypto's before the Eradicator ate him (and then he came back. The Eradicator, like most things in Jon's life, had been deadly and weird). The shirt he bought at a thrift store, carefully saving up money and sneaking off to buy it. Compared to Damian's uniform or even Maya's, Jon just looks like a kid, playing hero.
He leans against a tree, pulling his knees up and tilting his head back at the sky. Up, up and away. Someday.

The S is a responsibility.
He smiles as he lands and holds out his arms for a hug. ]
I like the cape.
[ He's intending to surprise Jon with a real suit. Clark can't keep him inside forever. If he's going out, it will be with the best possible protection short of Kryptonian technology. ]
no subject
[ Jon gets onto his feet as he leaps for a hug, his fingers already gently curling around his father's sleeves like he's used to. ]
You're late.
no subject
[ Clark wraps him in a bear hug. ]
What did you want to show me?
no subject
[ Way too much spandex. But after the hug, Jon steps back, rocking back and forth on the balls on his feet. ]
I have a superpower that works . . . most of the time. But I think I'm getting the hang of it.
no subject
Let's see it.
no subject
— and blew.
His breath crystallizes immediately, forming a medium-sized jagged mountainous block of ice. Jon stops, looking at it proudly. ]
Ice breath!
no subject
Very cool.
[ The pun was unintended. Clark will rectify this in a moment. ]
Dare I say, icely done?
[ It's snow bad, Jon. ]
no subject
That's terrible, dad.
[ He eyes the ice formation critically. It's not too bad, he decides. He should probably melt it though. This power was harder, though he's gotten better at it. Jon focuses on the back of his eyes, letting the anger seep it before twin bolts of heat blast the ice. ]
no subject
That was cold, son.
[ This is Jon's life now. ]
Do you want to practice near the river? The ice can melt into it.
[ It won't cause any flooding. Heat vision is an ability Clark doesn't use a lot. Since Jon's powers fluctuate, he shouldn't rely on this one so much. ]
no subject
[ But he dutifully turns off the heat vision, rubbing his eyes. He turns to his father. ]
So we should pick it up and put it near the water? I don't think I can lift it.
no subject
no subject
[ He scrambles to his feet, looking down at the ice. He kicks it a bit to chip it away from the ground and places his hands under it. ]
no subject
He looks over the ice formation again. It's better than anything he can do with a power he only learnt about recently. Clark won't be able to teach him anything if he's just as unpracticed as Jon is.
He resolves to spend as much time this weekend mastering it. ]
On three?
no subject
Three!
[ He grunts, hoisting it as far as his arms would let him, his super strength in affect. ]
no subject
[ Clark walks at a pace Jon will be able to keep up with. He's splitting the weight of the ice: two-thirds for him and one-third for Jon. ]
How much time do you get for training at home?
no subject
And there was that training I did with Damian.
no subject
What kind of training was it?
no subject
And then we fought some kind of Putty monster.
[ Parenting at its finest. ]
no subject
Clark's curiosity is killing him quicker than a kryptonite spear. ]
Would you say Damian is your friend?
no subject
[ Jon unconsciously thinks back to what Jason said. Jon knew the barest details of Damian's life. It had been hard. Damian doesn't have a social bone in his body. He kidnapped Jon and mocked Goldie's death. But Damian also lets Jon call him when he's lonely and got him his favourite video game.
He shrugs. ]
I guess he's the closest person like me. But in a totally crazy way.
no subject
How so?
no subject
[ Jon was less diplomatic about Damian when he spoke to Lois about it, but the circumstances had been different and Jon was trying to make sense of Jason's teasing. Still. Jon didn't want to paint Damian in a negative light either. ]
no subject
How old is Damian?
no subject
[ Let that sink in, dad. ]
no subject
[ He understands Jon wanting to. He was born with powers.
Jon hasn't mentioned any powers this Damian has. ]
