sometimes, she forgets that the story of her arrival is not a widely known one, & she forgets that the fact that she’s older than clark is not common knowledge either. the people of gotham are particularly familiar with the meteor that crashed in the bay, but with all the weird shit that happens there, it was just another day. the people of metropolis knew when there was finally a girl to join the supers, but none of them knew where she came from other than she came from krypton. they didn’t know when, they didn’t know how, they didn’t know whether or not she had grown up with superman. the only people who really know anything are a few of her fellow heroes, and the amazons – none of whom are very easy to contact & interview. so her life on krypton… it’s not exactly a common conversation topic. it makes sense, that clark and lois would tell jon about her “origin story,” because she doesn’t think she ever did. 

❛   i sure am; i was his favourite babysitter, not that your grandparents ever asked anyone else. i couldn’t even tell you the number of times he ruined my shirts with his spit up, and don’t you ever let him forget that i told you that.   ❜   sometimes, she thinks that it helps to remind herself that clark isn’t the all - powerful being that the media makes him out to be. he’s just a normal guy who happens to have ridiculous powers – but so do they

she casts a sideways look at jon, a smile on her lips that’s bordering on a laugh – because oh, boy, if they’re getting into how she managed her powers…   ❛   figure out my powers ? it was more like trying to figure out how to stop randomly floating and lighting things on fire. way unlike your dad, or you, actually. my dad, jor-el… when he sent me to earth, he lined my ship with yellow radiation lamps, so i was supercharged when i got here. it took your dad years before he got to his level, but i was under those lamps for, oh… almost thirty years ?   

when it comes to krypton, jon knows that there is so much he couldn’t even attempt to know. such a vast planet filled with secret knowledge and unattainable mysteries ; all wiped away in one fell swoop. it was as if their homeworld didn’t exist at all. the only thing left of it’s glory remained on earth ; those who carried it’s DNA and those they would birth soon after. it wasn’t as if clark had the time to teach him everything either ; being superman has it’s priorities. there was only so much lois could teach him as well. he was a patient boy, but he just wanted to know. he wanted -      - no, needed to understand so he could wear his new mantle with pride. it was why he knew about his older cousin’s story. it was why he learned about zod. it was why he was taken to the fortress. soon enough, it would be on him to be the son of krypton. better know it now before it was too late.

he could only attempt to laugh as kara told him about his father’s past. he was sure that he was the same with he was a baby, but he would never admit it ; giggling as he scooted closer to the older female. ❛ blegh, that’s gross ! was it super spit too? i mean, but imagine it it was! ❜ oh, how kids could be entertained by even the smallest thing. he’d almost completely forgotten about his earlier dilemma. it was why he liked hanging out with kara. she was a cousin, but she felt like an older sister. someone he knew would be there for him whenever he needed. he was still growing and when clark couldn’t be around, he knew she would be.

❛ wait, lamps? does that mean i could use some too? i feel like i should be doing more than i am… ❜ there goes that pout again. ❛ i can’t even stay afloat for more than ten seconds without falling again. what happens if i’m training with damian and i fall and… well… s p l a t? ❜ things he didn’t want to think about as his body shivered at the thought of it. this was why he needed to learn ; to train. he couldn’t be the weak link. he refused to be.
