𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐎𝐍 𝐎𝐍𝐄: '𝐏𝐈𝐋𝐎𝐓'

𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝟑: 𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐁𝐎𝐍𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐒

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐊𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐃𝐈𝐃𝐍'𝐓 talk to each other the entire day, still in their own heads trying to make sense of everything once the truth came out. Finding out your day is an alien superhero isn't an easy thing to get over so Jace was happy when he got a message from Silas about the party and how he was heading over. A party sounded like exactly what Jace needed at that moment, he could hold off the conversation he'd been dreading having with his father for months especially considering like usual he wasn't home.

So Jace took a quick shower, changed into a dark grey hoodless Nike sweater and black ripped jeans and threw on some white sneakers. He was fixing his curls when he heard the car horn from outside but Jordan stopped him before he could head down the stairs.

"Yo can you give me a ride?" He asked softly and Jace nodded and he heard a loud noise coming from Jon who stumbled outside his door trying to put his last shoe on. "Wait up!" he yelled and Jace rolled his eyes.

"Hurry up or I'm leaving you," Jace told them and walked downstairs, sighing in relief not seeing either of his parents and jogged outside to see Silas's rusted dark green Jeep he had gotten as a goodbye present from his dad when he left his wife for somebody younger. It was a terrible thing to do but Silas wouldn't say no to a car when he needed it so much since he played football and needed to go to and from training and the games.

"Yo man! Look what I got~" Silas sings after seeing his best friend jump in the front seat and he waved a small baggie in front of him.

Jace's eyes bulged as he snatched it out of his hand and hid it in his pocket when he heard Jon and Jordan come up to the car. Jace sent Silas a look not to say anything and explained, "They needed a ride,"

Silas rolled his eyes seeing as they got in the back and huffed and put the car into gear and drove away from the Kent farm with Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles playing softly. "We're so doing it right?" Silas asked discreetly as they stopped at a stop sign, the streets of Smallville were practically carless like most nights and even days.

Jace sent a smirk to Silas, "Just what I needed," he said as he leaned his head against the seat. What else do you do when you find out you are not crazy and everything that nearly ruined your life was because your dad is Superman if not smoke a cone?

With no traffic and Silas speeding, they made it to the mine quickly and Silas parked next to a small red car just outside of the mine.

"Be safe, text me if you need," Jace told his younger brothers who nodded and split off from the older boys and started talking to a brunette girl that Jace remembered was Sarah Cushing, Lana Lang's daughter, he hadn't seen her for a while.

Jace looked away from his brothers to Silas who was giving him an amused look so Jace nudged him and asked, "What?"

Silas just laughed as they walked away from the car and he said, "You're just such a cute brother."

Jace rolled his eyes and muttered, "Don't start."

Silas was an only child if you didn't count the two-year-old daughter his father had with his new wife- which he didn't - so he didn't know what it meant but it always amused him seeing the tough boy who was the biggest softie he knew, be protective over his brothers.

"Silas!" a feminine voice called out and Silas and Jace paused, looking around them to see where the voice came from but Silas saw them first and started walking and Jace followed along looking around the bonfire party, not giving the strangers a second look.

Jace nearly crashed into Silas back when he abruptly stopped and he didn't even need to tilt his head around Silas's golden curls. Two people stood in front of them, a girl and a boy that seemed close to each other as they shoved each other and glared at the other and Jace would've guessed they were siblings, twins even.

They had the same black hair, the boy having thick curls while the girl had long waves over her slender shoulders. They had similar skin tones that the raging fire lit up beautifully, it was a nice tan colour that made him wish he wasn't so pale. The fire also made the shorter girl glow etherally with the body glitter coating her body and enhancing her dark eyes.

But they were so very different, the boy wore all black, ripped skinny jeans with a red shirt and a black hoodie and faint scars littered his face and muscular hands while the girl had unblemished skin with a sparkle of freckles adorning her high cheekbones. The girl wore a silver chemise crop top with long flowy sleeves showing off her flat stomach and tight a white pleated skirt.

They were cute and looked like an interesting duo, Jace had to admit.

"Cami! Axel!" Silas greeted them with a friendly smile letting Jace know they were his friends, he had mentioned them briefly during their chats and Jace was eager to meet them. "This is Jace, my old and greatest friend~" Silas teased and pulled Jace closer so he wasn't dwarfing the blonde anymore.

"Damn Sai, you never said how hot he was," Axel smirked as he shamelessly looked the blue-eyed boy up slowly. Jace wouldn't admit he was slightly disappointed that the hot boy who was currently checking him out didn't have a British accent but his Spanish accent was better than his annoying American one.

"Right you are dear brother. Sai can't be gatekeeping like that!" Camilla said, her accent was similar to the boy's but just more feminine but the flirty undertone was the same.

So they were siblings, Jace thought, he was pretty proud of his intuition.

Silas rolled his eyes and deadpanned at the girl, Camilla. and placed his hand on his heart dramatically, "Come on Cami, don't be like that. I just wanted it to be a surprise when you guys met." He then smirked at her and pointed at her, moving his pointer finger up and down as he said mockingly, "Also sorry to say but my man Jace ain't into all that."

The boy's grin revealed Cheshire Cat's grin with how wide it was and the girl rolled her eyes. She cocked her hip and said, "Please we all know I'm all that."

Jace found himself nodding at her words, he might be exclusively into men he could appreciate the female body and Camilla was drop-dead gorgeous. He could already tell she was the unofficial leader of the trio with how headstrong she seemed to be and she was a spitfire, confident in herself which probably meant she was academically or sport-inclined and was on top of the hierarchy at school. He could see how popular she was with how many people's eyes lingered on her and the amount of them had smiled and waved at her and she waved back.

The boy, Axel pushed his sister out of the way while he muttered, "Smallviles gay population is now two, fucking finally!" They could all hear him 'whisper' it under his breath, Jace wasn't sure if the boy knew how to be quiet and he had just met him. He extended his hand out and Jace's eyes lingered on the scars marring his hands, he had to admit Axel looked like a delinquent especially with the smoke hanging out of his mouth. "I'm Axel, it's good to finally meet the famous 'Jace bloody Kent'," he said with a smirk and Jace took his hand and shook it with a smile.

𝐉𝐀𝐂𝐄𝐒' 𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐃 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐒 quickly coming to an end and it didn't even take five minutes when it came crashing down in the form of his younger brother that somehow always found himself getting into trouble despite his almost crippling social anxiety. A trio of boys were pushing and yelling at Jordan while Sarah Cushing stood to the side and Jace could tell it had something to do with her because it usually is about a girl. Jace wanted to sigh, he hadn't even had a single sip of alcohol or a wift of the bud before one of his brothers was causing trouble.

The fight brought forth a crowd and people pulled out their phones to film instead of trying to stop it which was expected by a bunch of intoxicated teenagers.

Jace could feel his anger spike seeing a tall, dark-skinned boy that was probably a jock from the macho front he was putting on take a swing at Jon. He strode over seeing Jon tackle the boy and pulled the boy off Jon who was trying to punch him from behind. He threw the boy down onto the ground and shot him a glare and pulled Jon up, stopping him from punching the boy.

"Enough is enough Jon," Jace told his heavy-breathing brother who was glaring at the boy on the floor groaning. The oldest Kent son was looking around at the phones pointing at them, he didn't need this blowing up, even if Jon didn't think about the consequences of his actions he did. Jon could get suspended from Football and he was so close to getting his name out to scouters.

His blue eyes darted around for his other brother, Jordan and his jaw clenched roughly seeing another boy kicking and punching Jordan into the ground. He let go of Jon and rushed over and tackled the boy off his brother and started punching him, blood flying off the boy's face onto his own. Every cheer and yell of protest became background sound and the only important sound to him in that moment was hearing the boy cry and his bones crack.

Jace never thought of himself as a violent person, he preferred to be the silent protector of his family and try to stop fights before they broke out. But that conflicted with his love for his family and the loyalty he had for them and the fact nothing seemed impossible or too immoral if it would help his family.

He knew he needed to stop if he didn't want to cave the boy's head in and seriously damage him but he wanted to keep going. Looking back Jace probably wouldn't have stopped if not for a large bang echoing through the area and the bonfire seemingly exploding.

His hearing went haywire, as everything turned to static, a long prolonged shriek and his eyesight going blurry from being blinded. The blast caused a few people close to it to fly a metre away. The blast even knocked him off the near unconscious boy beneath him.

The rest of the night went like a blur, the fire department came down and the Kent brothers were fine, nothing too serious. Their father had raced over and took them home and thus the explanation of what happened went down and Jordan's powers came to light.

It shocked Jace to know his youngest brother now had powers, if he was honest he thought Jon would've had them instead but he hoped this would boost Jordan's esteem issues. But he could also smell the potential disaster it would cause in the family of five.

𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐊 𝐊𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐎𝐑 𝐒𝐔𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐍 as the Kent brothers now found out had gone to do a quick look at the mine to see if the fire had quelled. When he came back he was tired and confused, someone was after him and they knew about his Krypton past and his real name. He wanted to go to sleep for a week, even if he didn't need sleep so he didn't expect to see his oldest son sitting on the bannister of the porch, seemingly waiting for him. Clark was reminded of the time he sneaked out for the night to hang out with Lana and his father waited for him on the porch with the day's paper in his hands - he felt like a little kid in trouble.

"Hey, why are you up so late?" Clark asked as he walked up the small stairs to the wrap-around porch. He was sure he heard his son in his room reading when he left.

Jace shrugged and just looked back up to the starry sky, it was different from the one in Metropolis where he hardly saw any stars due to the light population in the city. "Just thinking about everything," he answered after an awkward silence (in Clark's opinion).

Clark leaned against the bannister and he spoke, "Hey I know i haven't been the best person or father for you or your brothers but know i'm trying and i'm going to keep trying. I understand your mad at me for not telling you the truth about who I am but I'm still your father and I did it because I thought i was protecting you. But after this incidnet I know I was wrong."

"It's okay, I understand and I can see you trying," Jace said, not entirely in the mood to have this conversation as he kept going back to the bonfire. He glanced at his hands which were now clean and free of the previous bruising.

"Soo I was thinking about how we work on your car, like old times. We could a new music system in or some new tires-" Clark started to ramble and it brought a smile to Jace's face and he said, "Sure, I'd like that."

Clark smiled at his oldest son, he wasn't blind to see their relationship had gotten a little estranged with his work, both cape and glasses work so he was excited to try and fix it. Maybe his mom was right all along, maybe Smallville would really be the place where they could become a family again.

But Jace stopped smiling as he looked back at his hands, he was thankful that his brothers didn't mention his slight breakdown but he knew it would come out and wanted to leave it for another day.

"Hey dad?" Jace asked softly and Clark looked at him and nodded to let him know he was listening so he continued, "Have you ever been able to move things with your mind? I know Superman can fly, shoot lasers and all that stuff but have you ever done something like that?"

Clark looked closer at his son, hearing his heartbeat jump rapidly and his clenched hands and the way he had shifted away from him. "Uh no, I haven't. I don't think any Kryptioan has used it before. Why do you ask?" He answered gently yet confused but he had an inkling of where the conservation was going and he wished it wouldn't go there.

"I uh used it once," Jace admitted quickly and he shut his eyes, thinking back to what happened.

Jace had been texting a college student for the past few weeks and he knew he shouldn't have since he was still 16 and was a few years younger than him but it was the first time he had met someone that was interested in guys that didn't go to his school in Metropolis. They had bumped into each other at a cafe and quickly exchanged numbers and Jace knew it was overly cliche but it wasn't like he was looking for a relationship because he knew it would never work in the first place.

Nate was kind, and funny and loved reading old English literature books and liked caramel lattes and he was the reason why dark curls were Jace's kryptonite. After weeks of texting and letting out everything to the other, they found it so easy to talk to the other about everything and anything that bothered them. They had complained about school, teachers, their families and about the way he hated the rain. He invited Jace to a party, a college party to be exact and Jace didn't think anything bad would happen, he trusted Nate and thought it would be the perfect opportunity to finally hook up.

So that's what they did, they had a few drinks in their system and went up to one of the empty rooms and explored each other's bodies to their heart's content. That was also the beginning of Jace's infatuation with older guys, Nate was so much more knowledgeable about being with a guy compared to the kids at his school and the few guys who thought they might be bi and fumbled with blushed cheeks.

Jace felt like he was on cloud nine on top of Nate as he rid him and as his body tingled, his mind blanking and his stomach tightening with every dirty word leaving Nate's plump lips and the way his hands trailed against his dark skin, feeling all sorts of ridges and curves on his toned body. So he wasn't sure if what he was seeing and doing was real or just some sort of sex-hazed dream. He felt like he was floating and he could see the books lying on the table and their crumpled clothes on the floor were hovering off the floor.

But then Nate leaned up and nibbled on his nipple making his mind go back to the earth-shattering pleasure the man was giving to him and like that, he came - hard. With a strangled moan, everything seemed to fall back into place with a thud and Nate looked up at him with hooded dark brown eyes and a smirk he pushed him back down and kissed him, pushing the floating accident to the back of his mind.

"I don't know what happened but everything just started to float and when I blinked it went back to normal. I thought I was going crazy for a little bit till I experimented and it's a little hard to do but it works," Jace explained, the lies falling out of his mouth quickly, he didn't want to tell the real story.

He looked over to his father who had a raised eyebrow and his thinking face on for everyone to see. Thinking his father didn't believe him, he lifted his hand and furrowed his eyebrows, pushing his contraction to the pebbles and dirt below them and slowly raised his hand. The pebbles shook for a second and they began to rise with a swirl of dirt accompanying them. Clark looked on in amazement, he had never heard of a Kyprtoian doing something like that, he would need to talk to his father about it.

"Amazing," Clark muttered, watching his son swish his hand around, controlling the rocks with seeming ease.

Yes I gave Jace a power of his own, I think I hinted at him being different in the previous chapters. He still will have the normal Superboy/Jordan powers but I wanted to give him something unique to himself. This is half edited lol
