Ryan sat in his room as the fresh tears kept flowing down his face. Screw Butcher Ryan didn't care about him he's nothing but a big stupid jerk.But another part of him knew why does words had hurt. Because even though everything in his body was telling him Butcher was wrong and unfairly blaming him for what happened to his mother
He still thought Butcher was right. And it hurt Ryan. Because that thought that Butcher was right meant one thing to Ryan
He was exactly like his father and that one little thought scared Ryan shitless. Because if was just like.... Homelander it meant that his mum died for nothing, she died believing he was better then his dad could have ever been and she was wrong.
And that's the thing that Scares Ryan.
But as these thoughts where in Ryan's head as he sat on the porch of the house Mallerery had brought him to he never noticed that figure floating down towards him
"hello Ryan"
Ryan looked at to see a figure blue suit red Cape with a the letter S in the middle of his chest
Ryan backed away in fear "who.... Who are you"
The man smiles "you can call me Clark" he floats down and his feet the ground and he looks to Ryan with kinda eyes. Not the same 'kind eyes' his father pretend to have but what seemed like the eyes of a good man. And Ryan knew they where hard to find.
Clark looked to Ryan and looked to the porch "you mind if I sit down" Ryan looked to him but didn't speak
Clark simply had a small smile as he look "that's okay I can stand" Clark looked to Ryan "I have two boy's who are a bit older then you" Ryan looked at the man his scared eyes watching him
"Jon and Jordan both have powers just like me, we live on a farm in a place called smallville with my wife" Clark let a chuckle out as he tilted his head towards the house "the issue is that I'm stuck in a parallel demsion with my team atm so it's hard to know how thier doing"
Ryan looked at Clark in suprice "your from a different earth"
Clark nodded "yeah I'm part of a team called the justice league and we protect our world from treaths, and sometimes we get brought to other worlds to help then from be controlled" he bends down coming to eye level with Ryan " I think that's why I'm here at the moment to help fight your dad"
Ryan looked at Clark he mind racing as he tried to comprehend what he was told. But then Clark said something to him
"Billy didn't mean what he said earlier,"
Ryan looked to him a tear treating to come out "who do you know that to his question Clark simply just smiled" well I can hear basically everything in the world you think it I've heard it, that includes heart beats " Clark looked to him and sighed" Butcher is alot like a friend of mine he thinks the best way to keep the people he cares about safe is to push them away. "
Clark looked to Ryan and simply said one thing" he lied hoping to protect you "
They sat in silence for a moment until Clark spoke" your friend will becoming out in a minute "
Soon Mallery come out armed with a pump action 12 gage shotgun 'Ryan get the fuck behind me' Ryan looked to Mallery as she held fear in her eyes" Right Fucking now Ryan " he looked to Clark who simply nodded at him to follow Mallery request
" I don't know who the fuck you think you are you pice of shit but come any closer I'll blow the fucking brains into the damn class "
Clark simply smiled and spoke" you've got handcuffs in your right pocket if you want you can put them on me that way you don't have to hold the shotgun which will damage the shoulder injury you got about 2 years ago "
Mallery looked a Clark her eye wide" who the fuck did you know that "
Clark smiled
" it's a long story
