**EXT. OUTER SPACE**

Zoom out on a planet, with pockets of green energy visible on the dark side. The star behind it expands and explodes, hitting the planet and destroying it, sending large chunks into space. Scene cuts quickly to a boys eye opening. The boy wakes up in fear, and begins to breathe heavily. His bedroom door opens, and a man enters, a look of concern on his face

* PA KENT - Clark, you ok?
* CLARK - Yeah dad, just…another nightmare
* PA KENT - You’ve been having a lot of nightmares lately son. Is it the same nightmare?

Clark looks up to his ceiling, where a small replica of the Solar System is hanging.

* CLARK - Every one of them…this planet explodes.
* PA KENT - What does the planet look like?
* CLARK - It looks Green…like an alien planet...

Pa Kent collects his thoughts, looking out the window next to Clark’s bed, out towards the barn. He walks over and sits down on Clarks bed.

* PA KENT - Your mother would never want to scare you. You know that don’t you?
* CLARK - Yeah…
* PA KENT - But, I think it's time I stopped keeping so many secrets from you. There's something I need to tell you Clark.
* CLARK - I’m adopted aren’t I?

A small grin appears on his dads face, both proud but sad at the same time.

* PA KENT - Yes, you are Clark. But you're still our son, you know that.

Clark nods.

* PA KENT - But that’s not all. There's something I need to show you.

**INT. KENT BARN**

Pa Kent moves his truck outside the barn. When he comes back in, open the door to the barns cellar. Once Pa Kent and Clark make their way down, Pa Kent grabs a hammer and begins breaking down a brick wall, revealing a sealed off part of the cellar. Inside, Clark sees a large object in the middle, covered with a large rain cover, big enough to cover a truck.

* CLARK - Does mom know about this place?
* PA KENT - She does. And she’s the only one other than us that knows.
* CLARK - And this…has something to do with my dreams?
* PA KENT - Clark, what ever these dreams, or nightmares are, they’re more than just that...
* CLARK - What do you mean?
* PA KENT - Clark, when you were little and you told me and your mom that you lifted our truck back into the barn, that wasn’t something you made up in your head. Your mom didn't see it but I did.
* CLARK - You're saying I actually did that? But how?

Pa Kent sets up a tall ladder he’d stored in the cellar. He removes the rain cover off the object, revealing it to be a pod, large enough to hide a small creature.

* PA KENT - This pod Clark, this is what we found you in…
* CLARK - You…*found* me in this?
* PA KENT - When you crashed *here* Clark, on the farm. When we found you in there, we didn’t know what to think at first. We thought it was some joke.
* CLARK - A joke?
* PA KENT - No. You’re not a joke son.

Pa Kent turns on one of the lights onto the pod.

Pa Kent looked over the pod for a bit, until he clicked something at the top, opening a small hatch.

* PA KENT - This is where me and your mother found you.

When Clark looked closely, he saw an array of symbols and patterns on it.

* PA KENT - I never figured out what any of these meant. But I kept on looking for answers...

Pa Kent took a piece of metal out of his pocket, and Clark took it. It looked like the same type of metal the pod was made of.

* PA KENT - The professor I went to with this, he told me this type of metal doesn't exist on Earth. Like it'd come from another planet.

Clark climbed up the ladder, and looked inside the hatch, revealing a small compartment, big enough to store a small child inside.

* CLARK - This is where you found me?
* PA KENT - We did. Clark, I wanted for so long to just think it was some sort of prank going on, but these engravings, this ship, you, and all these gifts you have. I Have to believe you’re from another world Clark, another planet.
* CLARK - This planet I keep having dreams about…
* PA KENT - That planet could be where you're really from Clark.
* CLARK - But this is my home.
* PA KENT - This will always be your home Clark.

Pa Kent and Clark hug.

* PA KENT - This planet, this town, this farm, me and your mother. You’ll always have us. But you owe it to yourself to figure out who you are and what you can do.

* CLARK - I will dad.

Pa Kent and Clark hear another truck pulling up outside the barn. Clark looks at Pa Kent, who nods.

* CLARK - No more secrets

Pa Kent nods in approval.

* CLARK - Mom!

***CUT TO BLACK***

**EXT. Street corner.**

Several people in kevlar and black masks are making their way down an alley, all holding firearms.

* RING LEADER - Alright, we all know what our job is.
