Excerpt“What about your parents? There’s not a lot in Smallville for Superboy to get in trouble with, it might be a better match,” said Lois as she sat on the couch, hugging one of the pillows to her. “I’m not saying I don’t want him here, he seems like a great kid. But damn Clark, I don’t know how to deal with teenagers. I thought we would be weaned into it with Chris. At least Martha and Jonathan raised a superpowered teenager. They’ll know what to expect.”
Oh, so it wasn’t entirely settled that this was his home yet. Cool. Superboy tried not to feel hurt by it. He remained frozen in the dark hallway, listening.
“I thought about asking them, but Lois, they are both in their 70s. It’s unfair to ask them to take him on full-time. I don’t think he’d trouble them much, but I want them to enjoy their old age.” Clark was sitting on the other end of the couch from Lois. “They would do it, and that’s why I don’t want to ask. Let them be grandparents in the twilight of their lives, not new parents.”
Seriously, this chapter is a DELIGHT.
