Chapter 1: Mom's Funeral and Meeting The Four Brothers

A week later

Everyone was at Evelyn's funeral.

Douglas Davenport. John's father.

Kaz Mercer. John's younger half-brother.

Jerry Mercer. John's younger adopted brother.

Jack Mercer. John's younger adopted brother.

Bobby Mercer. John's younger adopted brother.

John decided to sing after a preacher did his thing.

He walked up dressed in normal clothes

He sighs with tears in his eyes.

{{Play the whole song}}


John begins to sing "Mama told me when I was young

'Come sit beside me, my only son


And listen closely to what I say

And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day'

'Oh, take your time, don't live too fast

Troubles will come and they will pass

You'll find a woman and you'll find love And don't forget, son, there is someone up above'

'And be a simple kind of man

Oh, be something you love and understand

Baby be a simple kind of man

Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can'"

{{There was a pause for a while}}

"'Forget your lust for the rich man's gold All that you need is in your soul

And you can do this, oh baby, if you try All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied'

'And be a simple kind of man

Oh, be something you love and understand

Baby be a simple kind of man

Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can'

Oh yes, I will

'Boy, don't you worry, you'll find yourself

Follow your heart and nothing else

And you can do this, oh baby, if you try

All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied'

'And be a simple kind of man

Oh, be something you love and understand

Baby be a simple kind of man

Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can'

Baby, be a simple, be a simple man

Oh, be something you love and understand

Baby, be a simple kind of man"

Kara walked over and hugged him to comfort him.

After a while John and Kara went to Jerry's house.

John says "Why don't you get to know Camille. And I'll wait to see if my brother's show up. The other 11 kids are gonna leave and go back to Pennsylvania."

Kara says "Why aren't they staying?"

John says "They don't want to. My father's in there. You can talk to him, Jerry, and his wife, while I see if those boys show up."

Kara says "Okay. I love you."

John says "I love you too, Mrs. Mercer."

Kara says "I prefer Davenport. But I'll take it." She smiles and gives him a kiss.

Jerry was talking to a group of ladies and how mom talked about them.

Then Bobby had walked up and hugged Jack.

John walks over to them and says "Bobby, Jackie. It's good to see you, brothers."

He hugged them one at a time.

Bobby says "You too, Johnny. I heard you are working at CatCo with your wife as Editor and chief?"

John says "Co. And yes. The kids wanted to come but I thought it was better for them not to. Cause I know exactly how you act, Bobby."

Bobby says "Oh, come on. I'm not that bad. Besides, Cracker Jack is worse than me."

John and Jack say in unison "No..."

John says "He's..."

Jack says "I'm..."

Then they say in unison "not."

Bobby says "I love it when you two idiot talk at the same time. Makes me remember when we were kids. Big bubby Johnny coming to hang with his adopted brothers. Come on."

They walk over and Jack was smoking and Jerry walked over and hugged John and says "Johnny. Beautiful singing, man. Moms would have loved it."

John says "I know. Why do you think I sang it."

Everyone chuckles and Jack and Bobby share a hug with Jerry.

Jerry says "It's good to see you guys."

Bobby says "You too, Jerry."

Jerry and everyone started to talk about their childhoods

Jerry said, "Remember, when I built that tree house and you burnt the shit down?" Pointing at Bobby.

Bobby says "Yeah. But your house is brick. I ain't gonna burn it down."

Jerry says "Oh, now you won't."

Everyone laughed.

They walked in and John walks over to Kara and says "Guys, this is my wife, Kara. Kara meet my brothers, Bobby, Jerry, and Jack Mercer. Yo, where the fuck is Angel?"

Jerry says "He was a no show at Ma's funeral. I don't think he made it."

John says "Damn it."

Kara says "Hey, it's fine. It's nice to finally meet you guys."

Bobby says "You know, you are out of this world, Sis."

Kara blushes at that comment and the boys laugh

John says "Watch it, Bobby. I'll beat you, boy."

Bobby says "Yeah, yeah, I know. You've been kicking all of our asses since we were kids."

Jack says "Besides why are you hitting on our sister-in-law?"

Bobby says "I was giving a compliment. And you jarheads took it the wrong way, like always."

Everyone laughed in the group.

John says "Jerry... Is that?"

Jerry says "Yeah, those are my girls. You want to meet them?"

John nods and walks over and says "Hi, you must be Amelia. That's a pretty dress." Talking to the dog in front of the girls.

Amelia says "I'm Amelia."

The adults behind John laugh

John chuckles and says "I know. I was joking. Do you kids know me?"

They shake their head no

John says "I'm your Uncle Johnny."

Daniela says "You can't be our uncle your white."

Amelia says "Grandma Evie's white."

John says "Yeah, I'm a different kind of Uncle. Grandma Evie is my biological mother. With her other 11 biological kids, and your dad she adopted him with three other boys."

The girl say in unison "Okay."

Amelia says "Oh, police man."

John turned to see Green

He says "Yeah, don't nobody move. Y'all are under arrest."

The girls run and Green asks "Hey, where are you going?"

Green looks at John and says "Who are you, kid. Beautiful singing back at Evelyn's funeral."

John says "She's my mother."

Green says "I'm sorry to hear about your mom's passing. Bro hug?"

John clasps his hand with green and the do a bro hug.

Bobby says "What about me, Green? You gonna arrest me, too?"

Green says "All depends, Bobby. You keeping straight?"

Bobby says "Straight-ish.

Green says "How you doing, man?"

Bobby says "Good to see you."

They do a bro hug

He turns to Jack and says "Jack. Sorry to hear about you mom, brother. Give me some love."

Jack and Green do a bro hug

With Jerry, he was watching in the house after the girl walked off.

His wife came up and says "Jerry. I thought you said he wasn't coming."

Jerry says "No, I said I didn't know if he was coming or not. I ain't seen him in Lord knows how many years. You know it's hard to track that Bobby down."

He saw the look she was giving and says "Don't give me that look, Camille. I am way through with that life."

John turned to look at Jerry.

He heard what he said due to his ultra sensitive hearing. Or his super-hearing from his kryptonian side. He didn't know anymore.

With the rest of the brothers.

Bobby says "Thanks for coming, Green. Mom would have been happy you made it to the service."

Green says "Shit, your mom would've been happy you made it back for her funeral."

Bobby says "I didn't come back for no funeral."

Fowler says "Thanks for the offer, but we got it under control. It's bad enough we got super heroes coming to steal the thunder of us police, but you. We're good. We got this."

Bobby says "Yeah. You know, I could tell by the looks of things when I drove in. The place looks completely different. Detroit's finest cleaned it up, huh?"

Green says "Yeah, go easy, Bobby. We got these punks. Kid playing basketball across the street witnessed two gangbangers running in there, shooting up the place..."

Bobby says "Oh, come on, Green. I used to make a good living around here because cops like you guys couldn't find tits in a strip joint. Why don't you just come inside, have some coffee and some doughnuts and then take your boy and get the fuck out of here, okay? Come on."

John smiles and says "You heard the man."

They all walk inside

Fowler says "Charming guy."

John snickered when he heard that as they stayed for a while.
