“Right! Conner! It’s a pleasure,” he extended a hand to the young man, a grin stretched across his face. He’d swooped in just minutes prior to the boy’s arrival, not expecting to be meeting him so soon. He was a father, it wasn’t new to him. But being a father to someone he was just learning about? That was a new one. Despite the new-ness of the situation, Clark already had a soft spot for the kid. “Kind of? I can work with that.”
“Yeah, you too.” Conner smiled, shaking Clark’s hand as his nerves started to dissolve. He had wished for this moment for fifteen years yet was always too scared to get anywhere close – mostly Lex’s fault. Conner decided to change the subject, try to smooth over the awkwardness. “No one told me you were coming today.”
“It was kind of unexpected. I was in the neighborhood, so figured I’d swoop on by,” he smiled at the young man. He’d flown in to help Kara, and she flew off after the save to get back to work. “So I’m your Dad, then? That’s cool.”
