Marvel: Son of Tomorrow

In the living room, Mei and Mary prepared a table full of dishes, but none of the four people were in the mood to enjoy them.

Richard and Benjamin looked worried. They had learned from Clark that he was the one who overturned the truck. In order to save Matthew and the blind man, he overturned the truck in a hurry, but this also caused the chemical to leak and blinded Matthew's eyes.

But they also knew that if Clark had not overturned the truck, the out-of-control truck would most likely still hit Matthew and the blind man who did not completely avoid it. In fact, Clark also saved their lives.

Benjamin had naturally told Clark about these things, and even took out the video to analyze it frame by frame, but it was all to no avail, and Clark still felt extremely guilty.

"This child... is so kind..."

Richard and Benjamin now have no better solution. Clark's kindness is beyond imagination, but his excessive kindness hurts himself, making Clark even begin to fear and hate himself.

"Maybe, we should tell Clark about his background..."

Suddenly, Mei proposed this idea, attracting the attention of the other three people present.

"You mean, tell Clark that he is actually an alien?"

Richard and Benjamin frowned. They were not sure if this was a good idea. What if this exacerbated Clark's current rejection of them?

They once believed that Clark could figure it out on his own, but the fact was that not only did Clark fail to calm down on his own, but he began to reject himself because of his excessive kindness.

Mei was now also very sad, tears couldn't stop falling, but he still explained carefully.

"I think the reason why Clark rejects himself so much now is because he still thinks he is the child of Ben and me, and that he is a human being, but his behavior exceeds that of humans and even hurts others. He thinks he is an alien among humans, a monster, so he rejects himself."

Clark lived a human life on Earth, developed human values, and firmly believed that he was a human being. But now, the changes in himself are destroying the worldview he has cultivated over the years.

May believes that this is the main reason for Clark's emotional breakdown.

"We can't keep this information secret forever. If Clark continues to grow up, sooner or later he will develop all kinds of abilities that we simply can't explain in humans. But by that time, it will probably be too late."

"But Mei, do you know what this means? Do you know what it means to let Clark know that he might be an alien and his homeland is in the universe?"

Richard's question made May silent. How could she not know that if Clark knew he was an alien, even if he still loved them, he would inevitably be curious about what his hometown was like, why his parents sent him to Earth, and what kind of people his parents were. He might even leave Earth and return to his hometown.

Mei had thought about it since the first day she adopted Clark, she had thought about this possibility, but she couldn't just sit back and watch Clark continue to hate and be hostile to her because she was afraid that Clark might leave them. She couldn't do that because she loved Clark too much.

"May has a point."

Ultimately, it was Ben who stepped up and brought this discussion to an end.

"No matter where Clark comes from, he is Mei and I's child, and he is our family, so I believe that no matter where Clark goes, we will still be in his heart. If the truth can ease his pain, then there is no reason for us to keep it secret."

As he spoke, Benjamin looked at Mary and saw her big belly, which meant that Richard and Mary's child was about to be born.

"Mary is about to give birth. Richard, you shouldn't leave too far away. Leave this matter to me. I will let Clark know how he came to be with me."

Benjamin didn't plan to take Clark directly to the warehouse to see the escape pod he took to Earth. He wanted to recreate the scene of that year and let Clark witness with his own eyes how he came to this Earth.

"Then, I leave it to you!"

The decision had been made, and Richard had no reason to refuse. Besides, after all, he believed in his nephew. Clark would not feel alienated from them just because he knew he was not from Earth. He was a kind child who blamed all the mistakes on himself, and they all believed in him.

........

A few days later, Ben had arranged everything and successfully persuaded Clark to come out and go to a place with him.

Until they got in the car, Clark thought his father was going to persuade him, but Benjamin didn't say a word until they were on the road.

"Clark, we're going to Kansas today. The next few days might be a bit boring. You can take a look at the comics I prepared for you."

Hearing this, Clark also discovered the box on the back seat. After opening it, he found a complete set of Detective Comics (I don't need to explain Detective Comics, doge)

And the superhero above is truly known as the greatest comic book hero, Superman.

"Superman? I've always heard about him from my classmates, but comics are fake after all, so I don't particularly like to read them."

Benjamin, who was driving, smiled at Clark, who said he was not interested but still opened the comic book obediently.

"Really? I thought you'd like it. After all, you and this superhero are a bit similar, don't you think?"

"looks like?"

Clark thought about it and realized that he was incredibly strong, had a well-developed brain, and his eyes could emit heat rays.

“Now that you mention it, it does seem very similar.”

Clark didn't doubt anything, but his interest in Superman grew deeper and deeper, and he couldn't wait to open the comic book and start reading.

But Benjamin's face did not look so good at this time.

Originally, they didn't think that Superman and Clark in the comics had anything in common. When they came up with the name Clark, they didn't consider Superman at all, and they were not fans of Detective Comics.

But as Clark gradually awakened the power of his eyes to release heat vision on campus, his heart inevitably began to beat.

The content of this detective comic could be not an entertainment comic but a popular science article.

Krypton, Superman, and an old couple in Kansas, can they really be the same family?
