It was Monday, and at 2:30 Clark Kent was counting the second before school let out. Today was the day he was going to ask out his heart's desire, Lana Lang. That's when the loudspeaker came to life. Clark Kent please report to the office A.S.A.P. Clark picked up his bag and tossed it over his shoulder and walked out of class and rushed to the office. He was wondering why he was being called out of class. When he got to the office, they explained that his dad was in an accident and was to go to the hospital. Clark took off with his superman speed trying to get to father. He couldn't figure out how this happened, but he wasn't wasting any time trying to figure it out. When he got to the hospital, he saw his mom in the waiting room crying. He ran to her and tried to comfort her, and he was asking how this happened. Martha explained that he was trying to save someone from a car accident, and as he was pulling him out the car exploded. Jonathan was saved only because the person he was trying to save took most of the hit, but that Jonathan was severally hurt and was in emergency surgery at that moment.
After hours of sugary Jonathan was out and resting. Clark was watching over his dad as Martha went to talk to the doctor. He informed her that Jonathan would need more surgery over the next few months and would need to remain in the hospital. Martha was happy that her husband was safe, but at the same time she was terrified. She knew they didn't have enough money to cover the bill. She asked the doctor what was going to happen, because they couldn't pay. A voice from the corner said, nothing. I'm going to take care of it. Martha knew this voice well. It was that of her son's friend Lex Luther. Martha looked over and said Lex thank you, but you know Jonathan won't accept it. Lex asked the doctor to leave the room.
As the door shut, Lex said then we just wont tell him. As long as he doesn't know it will be ok. Martha jumped out of her seat and hugged Lex, with tears running down her cheeks she was saying Lex thank you, but we can't just take you're money. Lex said pleas Mrs. Kent calm down. Holding her hands Lex said look if you want we wan work something out. Lex had a small grin on his face. This was the opportunity Lex has been waiting for. He had been trying to figure out how to get a chance to get with Martha, and here was his chance. So he told he that she should come to his house the next day, and they would figure out something then, and that right now she should be with her family.
Clark knew that his family was in trouble for cash at the moment and they wouldn't have enough money to pay the bills. So it was then Clark decided to get a job, but he wasn't sure where to look. He decide to sleep on it, and figure it out tomorrow right know he needed to comfort his mom. He knew she would be a wreck.
