What exactly happened to you?
Not only David, but the couple also wanted to know why their eldest son had become like this.
"Yesterday after school..."
Pressing his forehead, Clark thought back for a moment; it must be related to lightning.
"Dam bridge, Avery, saving people, struck by lightning, green lightning?"
After hearing his story, the couple looked at each other, speechless.
"It really is a meteorite."
David shook his head.
Was it that lightning reacted with kryptonite, causing Clark to experience an effect similar to inhaling kryptonite powder?
Chapter 48. The world will be Avery's playground.
"Meteorite? What's wrong with a meteorite?"
Jonathan was puzzled by what his youngest son said.
"Clark's strength is not invincible. He feels weak and uncomfortable when he gets close to the meteorite, like he has an acute allergic reaction."
He turned to his parents and said.
Is this true?
Clark, why didn't you and David ever tell your mother and me?
Jonathan's eyes widened; the two brothers were keeping such an important little secret from him and his wife.
“You’re already busy enough taking care of the farm.”
Clark forced a smile as he explained.
His unusual behavior was enough to worry his parents, but fortunately, his extraordinary abilities sometimes relieved them from worrying about him.
"If you knew I was allergic to meteorites, I'm afraid you would have been even more worried about me."
"Clark..."
Martha sighed and tenderly hugged her eldest son.
"Perhaps... it wouldn't be bad for me to be an ordinary person."
Clark hesitated.
In the past, when he had the ability, he often felt lonely because he was different from ordinary people. After his younger brother also showed his ability, he rarely felt that emotion anymore.
"only……"
Clark wouldn't be devastated by losing his powers, but if he lost his powers, wouldn't his brother have no scruples left, and he wouldn't be able to stop him from doing anything anymore?
David saw Clark looking at him with a hint of worry in his eyes and knew what he was thinking, so he rolled his eyes.
"Son, as long as you're healthy, that's all that matters."
The couple comforted Clark, saying that losing his powers and becoming an ordinary person was no big deal.
"Whether you can lift the pickup truck or not, you are still our son."
Jonathan thought for a moment and said, "At least you won't have to hide it anymore."
Clark also thought of a few advantages of becoming an ordinary person. First, he wouldn't have to avoid various sports on campus, and he wouldn't have to hide or embarrass himself because of Lana's necklace.
"Lana..."
The thought of joining the rugby team and being able to get along with Lana made his eyes light up slightly.
Maybe this isn't so bad after all.
"Yesterday, it wasn't just you who lost your abilities."
Seeing the Son of Krypton start daydreaming and forgetting everything else, David shook his head.
"what?"
Clark coughed, put his mind to it, and adopted a serious listening expression.
"Lightning struck down from the sky, hitting you and Avery."
Faced with his puzzled parents and Clark, he analyzed, "Forget about you, why didn't Avery turn into charcoal?"
"—He may have awakened his abilities."
David couldn't believe that Avery hadn't undergone any mutation after being struck by a powerful lightning bolt that had turned him green from kryptonite.
"This……"
Clark's expression changed.
"David, we need to go check out Avery's house!"
……
"Avery, where did you go yesterday?"
At the dinner table, the mother looked worried and couldn't help but ask.
“I went to your room to pack my things, and your backpack was gone, and your clothes were tattered and torn, like they had been burned.”
"I am fine."
Faced with his mother's concern, Avery ate the steak on his plate and replied with a grim expression.
An incredible thing happened to him yesterday; after being struck by lightning, he gained godlike power.
But at the same time, he later discovered that there was something that could restrain him, who should have been invincible on this planet—a meteorite.
"When I get close to a meteorite, I feel weak, uncomfortable, and even in pain all over my body. I become less than a normal person and can't even stand up."
Because my father was a geography teacher, our garage had many different rock specimens, including meteorites.
After returning home, Avery conducted numerous experiments, confirming this.
"Why do I have such a fatal flaw even though I have gained such power!"
His eyes were fierce, and he couldn't help but clench his fists, making it difficult for many of his wonderful ideas to come true.
Avery simply couldn't tolerate that someone who should be able to do whatever he wanted on this planet had such a fatal weakness!
"Your school ended a long time ago, why aren't you going home?"
Seeing his son's gloomy expression, as if he didn't take it seriously and seemed lost in thought, Reagan was furious and questioned him sharply.
"Are you not coming out if you're not going to eat?"
"You're always so disobedient! Do you know how embarrassed you made me at school yesterday?!"
The son of a notoriously strict geography teacher couldn't finish his geography homework, making him the laughing stock in the office.
"Say less." At the dinner table, Beth, the wife, patted her angry husband's arm.
"enough!"
But Avery, filled with resentment, suddenly erupted, standing up abruptly, twisting the knife and fork in his hand, and glaring at his father.
"I'm already eighteen years old, it's none of your business to tell me what to do."
He recalled the embarrassment of being publicly reprimanded in class yesterday.
"I don't care about you? With your current grades, it's not even certain you'll get into university!"
When his son talked back to him, Reagan ignored his wife's advice and stood up abruptly, glaring at his son with anger and frustration.
"Do you want to live on welfare in the future?!"
"Heh...going to university?"
Avery's face was full of disdain and mockery.
"That's all you've got!"
"You have no idea what kind of power I possess now." He clenched his fist, feeling the terrifying power that even tanks and airplanes couldn't match, and a look of fascination and greed appeared in his eyes.
"My future is beyond the imagination of a geography teacher in a small-town high school like you!"
He threw the deformed knife and fork on the ground, and then, as if thinking of something, a somewhat ferocious smile appeared on his face as he wiped his hands.
"I want to leave this place that has confined me for eighteen years and now makes me extremely uncomfortable."
This small town is littered with meteorites, and everywhere there are things that can restrain him.
But once he leaves this small town, he can do whatever he wants; the world is his playground!
……
He reassured his parents that he would be alright, and then went out with his younger brother.
Walking on the muddy, waterlogged road, Clark was filled with worry.
"If Avery has the ability, he shouldn't use it to do whatever he wants..."
