Life on the farm pt 7 friends on the other side

Danny stared at the chicken in front of him as though it held all the answers of the universe, and perhaps Lady Chickovsky did but she wasn’t about to share. Danny sighed flopping on the ground in frustration. Pa laughed from his seat on the porch.

“Y’know I don’t think the chickens have the answers your looking for.”

Danny turned to look at Pa “I’m trying to master portals, while I have no intention of going back to my old universe, I do have a responsibility to the infinite realms as their king.”

Pa nodded “that’s good, I’m glad you’ve found a home here but you should never abandon your responsibilities. How did you get there before?”

“Jack and Maddie had a portal in the basement lab. It’s actually how I…y’know” Danny answered nervously. Pa nodded.

“I don’t know much about all that but, not to brag, I helped Clark figure out a few of his powers. Let’s see what we can do.” Danny gave Pa a huge grin.

Ma came to check on them around lunch time and smiled at her boys. They clearly got distracted at some point as she’s certain they weren’t originally making ice sculptures of cujo.

“BOYS!! TIME FOR LUNCH!!” The two froze and Danny raced to the table with Pa following behind him. He stopped at the door to greet his wife with a kiss. “Having fun?”

“Always”

When they make it inside Danny is finishing setting the table. They all sit down to enjoy the lovely lunch ma made. “So what have you boys been up to?”

Danny swallowed his food “I’m trying to figure out how to make portals. I need to visit the infinite realms soon or else Fright Knight may start an inquisition.” Ma smiles.

“It’s so easy to forget that our little man is a king.” Ma smiles at him with pride “So how did that end with the ice sculptures?” Danny gave her a sheepish grin

“Well ya see, we were talking about each of my abilities and I realized I hadn’t shown you two my ice powers yet. There’s only one other power but I don’t plan on showing that off anytime soon, last thing I wanna do is level the farm.” Ma laughs

“Well I’ll toast to that. Why don’t you ask your new friends for help. Conner called earlier, they’re back from their mission, I’m sure he’d love to help.” Danny grinned

“That sounds like a great idea.” He jumped up and started doing his dishes. Ma grinned at Pa.

“I’m sure that Kaldur boy would be more than happy to help as well.” Danny froze, the two chuckled as they could see his cheeks glowing green from the table. “And take cujo with you, he misses Conner.”

———-

Cujo charged through the woods near mount justice, coming to a halt as they approached. Danny dismounted his loyal steed as he shrank down. He then plopped himself on Danny’s head for some much deserved rest.

With practiced ease Danny snuck his way through the mountain and slowly crept up behind his little brother. Slowly, ever so slowly he approached lifting Cujo from the top of his head and placing the invisible pup right next to Conners face as he spoke with robin. Cujo opened his eyes and upon seeing Conner he brutally attacked his face with the force of a thousand kisses. Conner jumped back but there was nowhere to hide as he fell to the floor under cujos might. Danny turned visible as he doubled over in laughter

“DANNY!” Conner screams, Danny grabs cujo from conners chest and gives him some ear scratches.

“Awww you love Conner dont you!” He gushes before setting Cujo loose to go find his buddy. Danny leans over to help Conner up. “You can’t be too mad, you left yourself wide open.”

He laughs “yeah yeah, so what’s with the surprise visit?” Danny looks at Conner aghast

“Can’t I visit my little brother without some ulterior motive.” Conner simply raises an eyebrow.

“Fine, you got me. Kinda. I did want to see my little brother, you were gone for a week on that last mission and you didn’t even call.”

“I called!!”

“No, you called Ma, but that’s fine, clear who the favorite is.” Danny mad a great show of being discouraged. Conner grinned knocking Danny in the shoulder.

“If it makes you feel better you are definitely my favorite brother.” Danny grinned

“Oh that makes me feel infinitely better, care to say that again for the camera.” Conner laughed even as Danny got serious “he hasn’t given you any problems right?” Conner smiled

“After the talking to be got from ma? No way. He’s actually really come around, I think seeing you interact will Ellie really helped.” Danny laughed

“Yeah she has that effect on people. Anyway I actually stopped by to see if y’all would be willing to help me figure out how to make portals?”

“You can make portals?!” Robin popped in.

“Not yet, but I’m capable, I just can’t seem to make a fully stable portal.”

Conner looked at Danny concerned “are you trying to go somewhere?” Danny looked at him surprised before grinning and throwing an arm around his shoulder

“Nah l, just got some stuff I gotta take care of. Why? You gonna miss me?” Conner shoved Danny off of him “NO! I’m just concerned because you’d get lost trying to get out of a paper bag.”

Danny grins “sure you are. Anyway I gotta get this figured out, the sooner the better, I wouldn’t want any surprise guests looking for me.” At the look Conner gave him he responded “like I said nothing to worry about.” Conner sighed

“How am I the responsible one?” Danny laughed

“You’re not I promise, that would be Jazz. You haven’t met her yet. She’s interning with a psychiatrist in Gotham.” Robin perked up

“Really who?” Danny shrugged

“Just some lady in waaayy too much makeup. I wouldn’t be too worried. Jazz is more than capable of taking care of herself and she’s not afraid to call for help if need be.” A hand lands on his shoulder.

“I think you’ve gotten distracted Danny.” Says a voice from behind him. Danny looks at the hand and blushes as he turns around to find Kaldur standing right behind him. “Now what’s this about needing help?” He says with a smile.

————

Three hours and 6 (minor!) explosions later Danny plopped on the couch “this is pointless”

Kaldur sits down next to Danny “it’s not pointless, you were really close that last time.” Danny looks up at Conner across the room. Robin and Wally had abandoned them at the second hour.

“He’s lying.” Conner states with no mercy. Kaldur shrugs “you’ll get it eventually”

“Wülf makes it look so easy” Danny complained. Everyone looked at him like he was crazy.

“Last I checked wolf can’t make portals.” Now Danny is the one looking at Conner weird

“What are you talking about Wülf is like, the portal master and ohhh we’re talking about two different wolfs. Okay I swear I’m just as sane as usual, which I know doesnt mean much but I swear it’s not a joke. Wülf is really cool.” Danny started to pace “He helped me beat up a cop… a ghost cop but he was a dick and wanted to lock Wülf up just because he broke one of his stupid rules. And trust me they were stupid, there was a rule for everything. I’m pretty sure he had a rule about how to tie your shoes correctly and if you broke a rule he’d sentence you to roughly 1000 years in his prison. Like I said he was crazy, he’s mellowed out a bit over the years but he’s still pretty weird….” Danny paused in his pacing “what was I talking about again?” He swiftly turned back towards Kaldur and conner. “Wülf! He’s one of my best friends in the realms. Trust me he’s awesome.”

At some point during Danny’s tangent a large green portal appeared behind him putting the teen heroes on guard. A, frankly, giant bipedal wolf with chains around its neck and hands? Exited the portal and started making its way towards the distracted Danny. Kaldur slowly tried to get close to pull Danny away but it was too late, the creature stood directly behind Danny. The two teens made to attack when the creature opened its large muzzle and… talked?

“dankon mia amiko pro la afablaj vortoj” Danny spun around to face the creature before wrapping his arms around him happily shouting “Wülf!”

Wülf smiled? “Mi aŭdis vin voki, ĉu vi bezonas helpon?”

Danny shook his head. “Mi ĵus diris al mia frateto, kiel mirinda vi estas!” Danny paused “efektive mi ne ĝenus kelkajn konsiletojn pri kiel ŝiri portalojn, mi vere bezonas halti ĉe la kastelo”

“estus mia plezuro mia amiko, tamen por ŝiri portalon oni bezonas ungegojn” Danny paused and just stared at wülf as if he just revealed that he was actually a monkey in a trench coat.

Danny turned to Kaldur and Conner “well first things first guys this is my friend Wülf. He’s saved my butt multiple times. Second apparently I’m an idiot who needs claws.” Danny stared at his hand as it slowly was encased in an erie glow, his fingertips started to get sharper and sharper until they could only be described as claws. He focused his energy into the claws and the two heroes stepped back as he sliced through the air leaving behind a rift.

“That is significantly easier with claws” Danny stated causing the two heroes to laugh. Wülf clearly agreed as he let out a barking laugh. It was at this moment that robin and wally walked in the room to find Kaldur patting Danny on the back while a green werewolf and Conner laughed at what was clearly Danny’s expense. The two looked at each other before asking

“What did we miss?”

Translation

Thank you for the kind words my friend

I heard you call, do you need help

No I was telling my brother how awesome you are

Actually I could really use some tips on how to rip portals, I really need to visit the castle

It would be my pleasure my friend, however in order to rip a portal my friend you need claws

Do you think Choi Jung Soo and Lee Soo Hyuk wanted to drag Kim Rok Soo into farming because they recognized he suffered from trauma as much as they did, but with KRS's personality, was more likely to internalize and never ask for help about it? That they feared if he was left alone after finishing their job that KRS would sink into depression real fast and not have any means of getting out?

Farming or even just gardening, an act that moves the body and results in sustenance or beauty, can be rather therapeutic. Aside from being a family business, I can see CJS and LSH wanting to do it for their own therapy reasons, and then going "Hey KRS needs this too, let's make sure we drag him in. We can keep an eye on him."

#tcf #i think those two understood krs very well #probably why LSH reiterated the promise that KRS farm after everything was over when he also handed over the Embrace ability #there's just something about their dynamic that gets me #KRS is always looking out for his people #and they all look out for him too but most of them don't actually know truly what he has been through #so they can't speak to his needs or help him in this way #only choi han knows but i don't think he knows how to address it as intimately as CJS or LSH do #CJS and LSH feel more like big brothers caring for their younger brother who is hard to read and never asks for help #the effort they put into him......#just how much of their work for GoD and beyond revolved around helping him i wonder #tcf spoilers

you know the worst thing is you try to convince yourself what you're going thru is not ACTUALLY what you're going thru because it didn't turn into something worse so like... why even complain because all he's doing is touching me but i don't think this happens in normal families and like i legitimately can't look past it now because it is glaringly obvious that my dad is a creep who loves badtouching his daughter among being the other terrible things he is and so it's just like. you can no longer ignore your reality. you do not belong here you have to get out. but i can't!!!! this is the second or third time i'm shaking and crying in my room alone because my dad keeps molesting me and i was still pretending it was just a quirky little occasional problem and not a glaring fault about my life lmaooooo help me please god help

#i am stuck here idk what to do and i don't wanna be forced away from my mom because i love her and i love my brother but he's a lot and he #also molested me when i was like 8 and so did his friend so basically my life is a big pile of grade A farm fresh manure but it's whatever

Life on the farm pt 8 dog sitting is not for the faint of heart pt 1

Everyone celebrated Danny’s success in making portals, Conner on the other hand dreaded it. He only just got his big brother and now he’s leaving and he can’t even go with him to make sure he stays safe. Clark has really come around but he’s not Danny. Danny helped him realize that he will never be Superman and that’s okay, he can just be Conner and no one will be mad. He stood on the porch as Danny ran around the house packing. When the door opens he expects Danny to walk out and instead surprised to find Clark instead.

“It looks like a tornado has gone through the house.” He says with a laugh before sitting on the porch. The two sat in awkward silence for a moment before Conner tried to break the ice.

“What was it like… growing up on a farm?”

“Um, well there were a lot of cows…” he said awkwardly. Neither really sure how to interact away from league work and training.

——-

From inside Ma sees the interaction and sighs, turning to Danny “they’re trying so hard but they just can’t seem to click. Clark’s improved a bit but I think it’s still hard for him to disassociate Conner from the fact that he’s a clone.”

Danny pauses in his frenzy as he places a pie in a suitcase. “Hmmm, I think they just need a little push.” He stops for a moment before popping up and snapping his fingers. “I’ve got an idea.”

———-

The awkward silence was suffocating. When Danny came charging out of the house both of them nearly sighed in relief. “Alright everyone, I’ve gotten everything I need for the next few weeks together, called everyone to let them know they won’t be able to reach me, and gotten all my chores done for the week. I’ve only got one thing left to do before I leave.” Danny swings his bag around and pulls out an excited Cujo “Ma and Pa have a lot going on for the next week with the festival coming up and the last thing they need is Cujo underfoot. I’d take him with me except the observants hate him with a fiery passion because he made a mess of their lair. Unfortunately they are some of the main ghosts I have to deal with so he’s staying here… with the two of you.” The two of them looked at each other before looking back, ready to protest, but stop as Danny holds up a hand “I know you guys think you could probably handle him alone but trust me when I say… you can’t. So team work it is, I’m sure Conner could stay with you in metropolis and take care of him while youre at work.” Danny smiles while plopping Cujo in Clark’s hands “Make sure you take him to visit Wolf every now and again, he loves playing with his little buddy. Oh and don’t forget, he’s a ghost. You don’t need to feed him but it wouldn’t hurt to bring him around grave yards, he loves playing with young spirits.” Danny takes a deep breath and grins at the flabbergasted looks on his brothers’ faces “oh yeah your gonna do great.” He crouched down to look Cujo in the eye. “They’re idiots, but they’re our idiots so be a good boy, keep them safe okay?” Cujo perks up and gives him a loud bark “that’s my big boy!” Danny gives him some behind the ear scratches.

Ma and Pa join them outside as Danny rips open the portal, they stand side by side as Danny prepares to leave “You stay safe now son! Don’t let those Observant fellas push you around hear me” Pa yelled. Danny laughed before charging up the porch to give his parents a hug. He then turns to clark and Conner with a demented grin on his face.

“You didn’t think I was leaving without a hug did you?” He tackled his brothers into a hug, surprising the two heroes with his strength. “Okay guys I gotta head out but I’ll be back, and Ma I promise I won’t forget to get you that recipe!” She nodded at him

“See that you don’t” and with that he was gone.

———-

The next day

Conner sits on Clark’s couch in metropolis while he’s at work, staring at the forlorn dog plopped on the floor. He sighs “Cmon buddy he’s not gonna be gone long I promise.” Cujo gives him a whiny groan and curls in on himself. Looking around the apartment he sees a glowing leash sitting in the basket of supplies Ma and Pa provided for them. After a little digging he managed to locate the collar Zatanna enchanted to disguise wolf, he held the two items up and turned to cujo. “You feeling up to a walk buddy.” Cujo perked up wagging his tail. He gave a happy bark in the affirmative. After getting Cujo on the leash the two make their way to the park. Cujo seemed enamored with everything, he stopped at every fire hydrant to sniff and pounced at every group of pigeons. When they arrived they just took a normal path, just to get Cujo some exercise, this is when they encountered their first obstacle. About halfway through their walk they came upon a girl with a large Great Dane, Cujo had wandered a good distance on his extending leash when the girl approached Conner. With a smile she tucked some hair behind her ear.

“Is that your dog? Aww he’s sooo cute! What his name?” Conner looked over at the girl.

“His name is Cujo, he’s actually my brother’s we’re just dog sitting while he’s on a trip.” She moves to stand next to him, making him a little uncomfortable.

“That’s so sweet! This is Maximus, he’s my precious baby. Hey here’s a thought, we come through the park just about every morning. Maxi just has to have his exercise, how would you feel about joining us?” She asked batting her eyelashes

Conner hesitated. The girl seemed nice and Cujo seemed to be lonely with Danny gone. He’s just getting ready to agree when Cujo returns to his side, the friendly dog suddenly stepping between Conner and the girl. Maximus pins his ears back and starts to growl at the smaller dog. The girl starts trying to pull him back “I’m so sorry! He’s never like this!” Cujo takes a step towards the bigger dog and barks at the bigger dog.

Maximus’ tail goes between his legs and he starts whining. “What’s wrong baby? You’re not scared of that itty bitty thing are you?” Cujo starts to growl at the girl. Conner picks him up

“Sorry I don’t think Cujo likes Maximus too much, them hanging out would probably be a bad idea. She quickly turns around

“What? Why should that matter? They’ll get used to each other.” She tried to persuade him. Cujo barked again and Maximus started to pull her away.

“I don’t think they’re gonna get along. Sorry we should probably get going.” Conner quickly made his escape. Once they made it a good distance away Conner gave Cujo a sigh of relief. “Thanks buddy. She was weird, you wanna head over to the grave yard? You’ll probably find more friends over there.” Cujo bounced up and down and ran in an excited circle, Conner laughed at his antics. “I’ll take that as a yes” and so the two made their way to the nearest grave yard. When they arrived Cujo went crazy, he choked himself on the leash a few times before Conner let him off the leash. Conner slowly walked among the graves, trailing behind the graves.

While he couldn’t see what, or who, he was playing with Cujo ran around as though chasing someone. He was having the time of his afterlife. After awhile Conner noticed it was getting late and called Cujo back. He raced back and attempted to tackle Conner to the ground, unfortunately he was used to such behavior from wolf and so Cujo had little success. Conner laughed and put the leash back on the puppy “we gotta head back bud, Clark should be back soon.” Cujo gave Conner a happy bark “you like Clark huh? Can you keep a secret?” Cujo tilts his head “I like Clark too. I know we didn’t get off on the right foot but he’s everything I wanna be. I don’t me his powers, those are amazing but I’ve come to the understanding that I’ll never have those. I did at one point but, they cost me big time. I’d rather stay me than be Superman, Clark on the other hand? He seems to have everything figured out. I can barely walk through the park without getting mixed up!”conner sighed “what do you think buddy?” Cujo tilts his head in confusion “yeah it’s pretty weird huh? C’mon let’s get back, Clark said he might invite Lois over for dinner.”

———-

‘My idiots are weird.’ Cujo thought to himself as he escorts the child back to the den. Honestly they were ridiculous, that girl clearly wanted to mate with the child, but he is much too young for mating. Poor thing has no idea, Cujo made a promise to his Phantom. He would protect his idiots. The big one is the keeper of the den he’s staying at, it is a small den. Not like his Phantom’s den, his den is very big, with plenty of room to stretch and run. Nightmare calls it a castle but what does that stupid alicorn know anyway? He’s got flames in his head. The child says the loud story teller is coming for dinner. She’s fun, she will be a fine mate for his big idiot.

Cujo races up the steps checking behind him to make sure the child is following, silly child likes to wander. When they approach the den he hears voices from the inside. At first he plans to simply walk through the tree wall but the child hasn’t learned to do that yet, not like his phantom, so he waits for him to open the wall. The loud story teller is inside with the big idiot. She smells nice. He wanders over too her and she picks him up “Hey little guy, how have you been?” Cujo barks and give the loud story teller some welcome kisses. She needs to know she is welcome in the pack. After all his phantom has already approved.

————

“He’s such a sweetheart!” Lois exclaims before catching sight of his collar ‘Axiom labs’ there’s a frown on her face, Clark gives her a concerned look “later, for now let’s eat before the food gets cold. I worked hard to put that Chinese on the table.” She said with a smirk. Conner laughed as he finished setting the table (well trained from his visits to the farm).

Once they all sat down and started to eat Clark try to make conversation. “So what did you two get up to while we were at work?” He asked politely

“We went to the park for a bit, at least until Cujo here scared off this girls Great Dane.” He said with a grin. Lois suddenly looked interested “a girl?” She questioned

Conner shrugged “yeah, she was walking her dog in the park. She wanted Cujo to hang out with her dog but it seems not all alive dogs are big fans of ghost dogs. She was pretty weird though, she wouldn’t stop blinking.” Lois snorted her wine, laughing at the poor boy. Clark jumped up with a napkin

“Oh boy! You may not have been raised on that farm, but you are a farm boy through and through!” She said through her laughs. Clark looked confused.

“How so?” Lois looked back and forth between the two confused Kryptonians. She laughed even louder.

“Oh man smallville, you two are a class act you know that?” She tries to calm down “she didn’t care about the dog, she was flirting with you. Don’t worry Clark here took an entire year to realize I was flirting with him.” Conner blushed, embarrassed, and Clark wasn’t doing much better.

“We’ll then it’s a good thing Cujo was there. I don’t think M’gann would appreciate her hanging around.”

Clark perked up “how are things going between you two?” Conner shrug

“Okay I guess. When we’re at the mountain everything is fine…it’s just..” Clark nudged him

“What’s wrong?”

“M’gann has started to use her mind control on our enemies more and I don’t like it. I’ve tried talking to her about it but… she just doesn’t get it. I’ve been there before, I know what it’s like to not be in control. I hate it.” Conner accidentally crushes the chopsticks in his hands. He looks at the utensils angry that he lost control. Clark just passes him a new pair.

“Don’t worry, I always grab extras just incase. You know when I first started dating Lois she would insist on Chinese at least once a week. I went to the store and bought as many pairs of chopsticks as I could so I could practice not breaking them.” He laughed “I went through so many pairs of chopsticks, I used them to make a fire for marshmallows afterwards. That fire burned for over an hour.” Conner snorted his noodles. Clark smiled “as for M’gann, I know she comes from a different culture, but if she’s doing something that makes you uncomfortable you need to talk to her about it. I know it’s hard to hear but you shouldn’t be in a relationship with someone if they don’t respect your boundaries.” Lois smiled.

“I’ll admit I probably pushed those boundaries more than my fair share when we first started out.” Clark snorted

“Yeah, I think shooting me with blanks pushed a few boundaries” Conner looked at Lois in shock.

“I’m gonna need a little more context here.”

The two reporters dove into the story of the great identity reveal with gusto. The three ate and laughed until the food was gone.

——-

Cujo curled up in his bed, proud of his accomplishments. He enjoys his rest while his people eat, but soon enough the den goes quiet and Cujo gets bored.

———-

When Conner woke up the next morning Clark had already left for work. He eats his breakfast and gets to work on his summer reading list. After about an hour of that he goes looking for Cujo so he can take him for a walk. He searches the apartment, then he searches again. He frantically grabs the phone to call Clark, he picks up on the third ring. Before he can even greet Conner he’s interrupted

“IS CUJO WITH YOU?!?!” Clark jumps from his seat, surprising Jimmy, who was showing him pictures.

“No, I thought he was with you.” He can hear Conner searching the apartment through the phone. “I need you to calm down, I gotta talk to Perry and I’ll be there soon, we’re gonna find him.”

Gen — Post-apocalypse hijinks of Sophie, Carl, & co

I'm in the mood for something cutesy with a side of funny. That means one or more of the adults (preferably with Daryl being one of them, but I don't want the entire camp involved) playing and messing around with the kids and generally wreaking havoc around camp or playing pranks or learning how to defend themselves or learning how to ride a horse or whatever.

I don't care if its with one or both kids, but I would like it if Sophia had made it out of The Forest of Doom unscathed.

Pairings really very optional but if you absolutely have to have one, ask me--although I think Sophia having a crush on Daryl or one of the other guys at camp (while Carl possibly pouts in the background) would be adorable.

Fill: None

#C: Carl Grimes #C: Daryl Dixon #C: Sophia Peletier #P: General | No Pairing #AU: Sophia Peletier Survives #SZ: Greene Family Farm #T: Fluff #T: Big Brother Daryl Dixon #Fill: None

For my entire life people have told me I am "naturally athletic". I am not "naturally athletic": I am an asthmatic with historically really poor cardio health and joints that partially dislocate themselves if I put pressure on them slightly weird. What I *am* is naturally tall and slender, even more so when I did absolutely no physical activity and ate very little because my neurodivergent body didn't give me hunger signals, which most people mistake for "naturally athletic".

That's not to say I don't have the potential for athleticism. My mother, who has never been under 250 pounds my entire life, is built of sheer farm girl muscle, has stellar blood pressure and cardio health despite her weight, and could (and has!) bodily haul me and my grown brother around like we weigh nothing. When I was a kid the woman was biking triathlon distances before we were even awake for school. The woman is an ATHLETE, and her whole life she has been obese (and heard from everyone and their dogs that she needs to lose weight).

I'm not sure where I'm going with this long piece of anecdotal evidence, except to say: my whole life I heard I was naturally athletic, until I actually became athletic. Because the thing is, I put on muscle like my mom. It fills out my shoulders and arms and makes me look big, thick, and barrel chested. "Genetically beefy", as my brother puts it. And suddenly I wasn't getting comments about my athleticism anymore. I'm quite literally the healthiest I've ever been. I can run for miles, lift my weight, my balance and heart health are excellent. I'm just bigger now. And not one stranger has a comment about my physique since I got fit. Because I don't look like what they think "naturally athletic" is.

I guess what I'm saying is, maybe don't let your perception of what "athleticism" or "health" LOOKS like color your perception of like. People's actual health.

Jack and Maddie Fenton got in trouble with CPS after Danny's accident. The portal was shut down, Vlad was deemed mentally unfit to adopt, and Danny and Jazz were adopted by a kind farming couple in Kansas.

Danny and Jazz kept Danny's powers a secret from the Kents, as the Anti-Ecto Acts were still in effect (they were one of the first laws abolished with the initiation of Meta Rights) and they didn't expect a farmer couple to readily accept a superpowered teen.

Then Clark crashed into their life.

Danny loved being a big brother, and when Clark started showing powers? Danny refused to let him think he was alone.

Clark was taught how to fly from his big brother Danny. Clark was taught strength control and how to control his power from Danny.

Danny ended up being Smallville's local Engineer, giving up going to college so that Clark could go. Farming didn't pay a lot, and they'd only saved up for one kid, really. Danny couldn't get a scholarship, his grades weren't good enough. Jazz did get a scholarship, so he didn't have to worry about her.

So Danny stays on the farm, inventing a million odd little things until the Kent farm is the best defended farm in the world.

And Clark...Clark feels guilty. He feels like he robbed his big brother's chance at higher education.

Then Clark meets Batman.

Batman, who is Bruce Wayne's sugar baby.

Bruce Wayne, who has a lot of grants and scholarships to get people into college.

Batman stops Superman mid-pitch and leaves, only to return with Green Arrow.

"No Supers allowed in Gotham, talk to Green Arrow about grants."

George Orwell made me want to write + the real origin of Big Brother's 2+2=5

George Orwell made me want to write + the real origin of Big Brother’s 2+2=5

As a teenager, one of the reasons I was interested in writing was George Orwell. I think I read Nineteen Eighty-Four when I was around 12 years old and later I read his essays and books like Animal Farm and his highly-under-rated Homage to Catalonia. I wanted to be able to write as clearly as Orwell did. He is not a great novelist (he can’t really do fictional characters very well) but he is…
