Clark sighs, watching you try and fail to lift that car. You're still too young for that, he thinks, I must be patient. Yes. You are Jon's younger brother, Superboy. Being the second son of the Man of Tomorrow, the chances of you gaining Kryptonian powers are slim.

He knows you're only eight, but Jon already had super strength at that age. You don't. Sometimes his chest tightens when he sees your dreamy eyes and you say you'll be like your father.

You're making him impatient.

Louis tells him not to worry, that he will arrive later, but if not later, when? Watching you do dangerous things just to see if you discover your powers is painful for him. It gives you false hope and that's something Clark Kent wouldn't do.

He comes closer and gives you a slight smile. "Little one, what are you doing?" He asked, although he already saw what you were doing from the window. "It's too early for that, you haven't even had breakfast yet."

He's worried: eight years in and you're already trying to anticipate something that will probably never happen.
