Report Card
As Mrs P Worthington waited at her desk for the next set of parents to arrive she gazed at her class such fond memories she had with her students this year and now she was meeting the parents and guardians. There were some children who had done well as well as some who had just barely made it. She was happy that this year not even one child was repeating her class.
The parents whom she usually met were either thankful or argumentative. Telling her that their son or daughter should have scored more than that she had given.
As she saw her door open and stood up to see two of her former students arguing in the doorway.
"Come in both of you" she called.
One of them was the case worker while the other a guardian and both had been school sweethearts until they broke up and went their separate ways.
And now both of them had to come back to the place where it all began and face each other.
"Hello Mrs. P"
"Hello Mrs. Worthington"
" Hello, Aaron and Stella it nice to see you both again"
" So how is he? Did he consider to join the volleyball team yet?"
" How is his school situation? Did he make friends? Are his marks good?"
She smiled.
They hadn't changed at all.
"Sit down first" she waved.
They both took a seat in such a way that you could tell that both would not be in each other's presence given the choice. Their knees and feet were facing away it looked like a small v was placed between them. Aaron even pulled his chair further away creating a horrible screeching noise just to annoy Stella who winced but didn't even look at him.
" Leave that enmity outside"
"Okay Mrs. P" both spoke at once then glared at each other.
"Dio has been doing well with his studies since the four years he has enrolled here and as for the volleyball team you will have to ask the Coach and I am happy to teach him. But he is too lazy, always late while submitting assignments, the detention room even has a desk reserved especially for him"
"Not bad"
"Really? Are you comparing to how you did in school should I bring it up"
"No, I'm good"
"As I thought, Stella he is doing fine apart from his work ethic which no one is surprised when I mention that Aaron is related to him"
"Umm"
"Are you going to say something?"
" No, I am better off without speaking"
"Good and tell him to stop bringing Pokemon cards my desk is full of them"
"Is that bad?"
" Not necessarily but an annoyance that I can do without, him and the rest of the class is regularly playing it"
"He even drew some on the back of the question paper look"
I pulled up a paper and showed it to them.
There was a drawing of Charlizard vs Goku both throwing energy beams at each other.
"I see"
" Aaron this is not a moment for you to admire his skill in drawing plus he had a vendetta against the drawing teacher"
"I can defend him there, that teacher said he had no skill because he couldn't draw a perfectly symmetrical vase, even I can't do that plus I find drawing inanimate objects boring."
"No need to boast about your Art degree this is not about you "
"You need to respond to everything, don't you"
"Anyway, I am talking about college have you decided on one?"
"He is going to study computer science and go into colleges that offer the same and develop applications he says he is pretty good at it."
"Okay that's one weight of my shoulder and now about the broken bench in room 10"
" He still says he doesn't have to pay for it as Liam was the one fooling around"
"Boooooaaaaaah Boaaaaahhhh Boaaaahhhh"
Mrs. P stood up.
" It is the emergency alarm. Get everyone outside and both of you help me "
"Sure Mrs. P" they spoke together.
Clark flew over Metropolis, he was worried that something big was going to happen. For the past four years he had sometimes sensed that someone was looking at him yet the unknown existance didn't in shape or form try to contact him.
He didn't try to find out as well as over the years he had noticed that the being was helping him secretly. Once when someone had tried to spear him using Kryptonite spear the Kryptonite had broken before it came in contact with his skin. When he had later surveyed the surroundings after getting the Kryptonite collected he had seen something ridiculous for an ordinary person yet something which he or any superpowered person was capable of doing there was a 50 cent coin buried deep in the concrete wall with a clear entry gap with small traces of Kryptonite on it.
He knew it was the person who was helping him in the shadows.
Similarly when a dam broke when he prioritized the local people someone had sealed the gap by tossing a giant rock in the middle of the gap enough to reduce the flow yet did not completely put a stopper on it.
He wondered why this person wasn't coming forward. Three years earlier he had met the Martians who possessed a similar ability to hide themselves they were barely 10 of them and he had helped them getting citizenship and a place to live legally.
There had been a lot of protest initially but once they brought out their superior technology and how they were similar to monks in lifestyle. People had gradually warmed up to them.
There were some in the millitary who were suspicious of them but since they had legally sought help of the government and the president and everything had been out in the open, they had little reason to act against them.
Their story was heart rendering and he had flown himself to Mars to confirm their story and was sad that it was true there were bodies buried deep in Mars with same skeletal structure he had also entered the caves and had found the White Martians relaxing and telling stories to their young about their conquest of the planet from the green skins. The government was happy to deal with aliens in the true sense of the word yet they were quite troubled that a hostile genocidal race occupied Mars.
There were some who thought there might be a war against Mars since they were offering asylum. Which was a possibility that even the Martians didn't deny yet they said to them by being here they could prevent a repeat occurrence of what happened to them.
Since I had collaborated their story with pictures and videos of martian mass burials the politicians had got WW2 vibes and fully backed them being here.
A smile rose up on my face being a diplomat for alien races was not something he ever imagined doing yet he was happy that he could help someone in a way that didn't require punching someone.
Yet there was still the matter of the small alien in black bodysuit who had brought them here.
Who was he?
Was it even a he?
Was it his secret guardian?
Was it originally from Earth?
What was the connection?
As flew over Dallas he suddenly got a call from J'onn.
"Emergency "
"What happened?"
" There is a giant ship on a collision course with Earth"
"What" I was shocked as I looked up. There was a red comet on a collision course to Earth as I stared I could make out the actual shape and edges but I was even more surprised that it avoided my detection"
" It is expected to crash just outside Dodge City. I have already sent the warnings for evacuation. "
" What the origin of the ship?"
" I don't know but it is breaking apart. The military and I are evacuating civilians right now and are ready to blow up the pieces if they enter civilian areas but the largest piece is still going to crash outside Dodge City "
" Okay I'll handle it, you guys take care of the other areas and come here once you're done. I can see it now, it might actually be too much for me alone to stop it but I can definitely slow it down as much as I can"
" Thank you Superman we will be there"
