You were the only human besides your mother in a house full of kryptonians. And currently your mother, Lois, was on a work trip for two weeks..so you were the only human in the Kent Family home currently.
You weren’t related to Clark, you were a child Lois had with another human before she met Clark. So you were fully human.
Something that comes with being human is instincts. And boy are they a lot..
The instincts to horde food, to run, to hide, they were extremely exhausting! Especially because you tried to hide them around the kryptonians, afraid that they wouldn’t understand.
It was around the time of year where humans instincts would double and they would find a safe space to nest.
But you didn’t know what to do; your mom wasn’t here..and you didn’t know how to explain your needs to the kryptonians of the family.
Clark, Kara, Conner, Jon- you were outnumbered by a lot. Clark was your stepfather, Kara was Clark’s cousin, Conner was your older stepbrother, and Jon was your younger stepbrother.
You decided to resort to the closet; it was your safe space and no one usually went in there.
You started to nest, building it up with clothes, blankets, pillows- anything soft that was owned by either your mom or your kryptonian family members.
It felt so comfy..and you felt so supported by the scent of your family wafting in your closed closet.
It didn’t last for long though, booming footsteps came closer and someone yanked the closet door open. It was Conner..
“There you are, did you take my- uhh…what are you doing?”
Right…kryptonians didn’t nest, they were a predator species- but humans nested because they were a prey species.
Wow a prey specie surrounded by predator species, your instincts were going wild.
You felt so self conscious as you tried to splutter out an explanation.
Ack! And he’ll probably remember Lex would do this too…and then he would think of it negatively.. and you know how he hates it when you take his stuff…
