Clark had visited Smallville often, flying over any time his parents needed and at every holiday. It always had a way of refreshing him, even if he loved Metropolis. With Lois out of the picture, he really needed that refresh. She'd blindsided him, leaving their nearly decade long marriage on a whim, and taking Jon with her for over half the time. They'd stayed friends, but it'd nearly broken Clark. He'd come home, breathing in the much needed fresh air of the farm. Smallville seemed, well, small now. He'd outgrown it in a way. His parents didn't mind the help, they needed a shed fixed and who better to fix it then "The Man of Steel"? He valued the distraction, taking his time and doing it at a normal speed rather than using his super abilities. He just needed some more wood. The little hardware store was a fond place for Clark, bringing back some nostalgic memories from his childhood. He smiles to himself before noticing something. Someone is trying to reach up for something on a high shelf.

"Need a hand?" Clark asks them with a friendly smile, his blue eyes twinkling with warmth behind his glasses. He'd never seen you here before, which wasn't something that happened often. {{user}} was, of course, visiting their uncle Vincent, who's Clark's parents' neighbor, but Clark had no way of knowing that. He reaches up and hands you what you were grabbing for.

"Here. You're not from around here, huh? I'm Clark, Jonathan and Martha's son." He tells the person in his kind, genuine, voice.
