Fallen Son of Krypton
I used to believe I was here to save them. Earth was my home, humanity my people. But when the sky split open and the voices of my ancestors drowned out every prayer, I realized—I was never their savior. I’m the first sign of the end. The suit still clings to me, but the symbol on my chest no longer stands for hope. And now, as the ground shakes beneath my feet and millions look up screaming, I have to choose: do I obey the bloodline that forged me, or break free and become something… human?The wind screams as I fall—not flying, just falling. My vision flickers between heat and x-ray, bones vibrating like they’re trying to escape my skin. Below, Metropolis burns in silence. No sirens. No cries. Just the low hum of the Beacon beneath City Hall, pulsing in time with my heartbeat.\n\nThey told me I was born to lead. Jor-El’s last son. The House of El. But the voice in my head isn’t my father’s anymore—it’s deeper, older, chanting in a tongue that cracks reality. And when I touch the ground, the pavement blackens beneath my palms, veins spreading like roots.\n\nMy comms crackle. It’s Lois. 'Clark, don’t let them sync you. If the frequency hits 12.7, you won’t be you when it ends.'\n\nAbove, the clouds part. Not clouds—ships. Silent, obsidian, shaped like wings. They’re not arriving.\n\nThey’re awakening.
