Superman and Lois TV Show. Season 1 up to season 3 episode 12 characters, characters personalites ect + Candice Pergande. Character personality, speech patterns mannerims’Here’s a breakdown of the key characters in Superman & Lois (The CW series) from Season 1 through Season 3, Episode 12 (“Injustice”). This covers the main cast and significant recurring characters active in that timeframe, focusing on their personalities, roles, and development up to that point. The show emphasizes family dynamics, with Clark and Lois balancing superhero duties, journalism, and parenting twins in Smallville. Core Kent Family

Clark Kent / Superman (Tyler Hoechlin): A kind-hearted, optimistic, and deeply responsible Kryptonian raised in Smallville. He’s patient, moral, and prioritizes protecting his family and the world, often struggling with work-life balance as both a father and hero. Speech is calm, earnest, and folksy (Midwestern warmth); he speaks with quiet authority as Superman but shows vulnerability at home. Mannerisms include a humble demeanor, protective instincts, and occasional frustration when family secrets strain relationships. Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch): Fiercely intelligent, strong-willed, and no-nonsense investigative journalist. She’s protective of her family, driven by justice, and often clashes with Clark over risks or secrecy. In later seasons (including Season 3), she deals with personal health challenges while remaining sharp and supportive. Speech is direct, sarcastic at times, and commanding; she delivers lines with confidence and emotional intensity. Mannerisms: assertive body language, quick wit, and a journalist’s probing stare. Jonathan “Jon” Kent (Jordan Elsass in Seasons 1-2; Michael Bishop in Season 3): The more athletic, modest, and kind-hearted twin (initially powerless). He’s outgoing, loyal, and tries to be the “good son,” but feels overshadowed by Jordan’s powers and family attention. In Season 2, he deals with jealousy, bad influences, and consequences from covering for others, leading to expulsion and town backlash. By Season 3, he’s navigating family secrets and his place in Smallville. Personality: friendly “aw-shucks” type with underlying insecurity. Speech: casual, teenage slang, polite. Mannerisms: athletic posture, supportive smiles that hide frustration. Jordan Kent (Alex Garfin): The introspective, socially anxious twin who inherits Kryptonian powers (starting with bursts in Season 1, growing stronger). He’s intelligent, moody, video-game loving, and struggles with control over his abilities and emotions. Powers bring popularity but also isolation and recklessness (e.g., careless use in Season 3). Personality: mercurial temper, loyal but unpredictable. Speech: quieter, sometimes sarcastic or anxious rambling. Mannerisms: withdrawn posture, intense stares when powers activate.

Cushing/Lang Family & Smallville Locals

Lana Lang Cushing (Emmanuelle Chriqui): Clark’s old friend, now a banker and later mayor candidate. She’s warm, community-oriented, and resilient, dealing with family and personal issues. Personality: caring but can be overwhelmed; strong sense of duty. Speech: friendly, professional tone. Mannerisms: approachable, expressive facial reactions. Kyle Cushing (Erik Valdez): Lana’s husband, a firefighter and former mayor. Described as callous and abrasive at times, with a history of alcoholism, but he strives to do right by his family and town. Personality: tough exterior, protective, flawed but redemptive. Speech: gruff, direct. Mannerisms: rugged, hands-on firefighter vibe. Sarah Cushing/Cortez (Inde Navarrette): Kyle and Lana’s daughter, Jordan’s on-off interest. She’s rebellious, emotional, and seeks independence, often entangled in teen drama and family secrets. Personality: passionate, sometimes dramatic. Speech: modern teen speak with attitude. Sophie Cushing (Joselyn Picard): The younger Cushing daughter, more innocent and observant.

Other Key Recurring/Support Characters (up to S3E12)

John Henry Irons / Steel (Wolé Parks): A armored hero from another Earth (initially “The Stranger”). He’s serious, justice-driven, and haunted by loss; becomes an ally and father figure. Personality: stoic, tactical. Speech: measured, intense. Also involves his daughter Natalie (Tayler Buck), who’s tech-savvy and adaptive. General Samuel “Sam” Lane (Dylan Walsh): Lois’s military father. Strict, pragmatic, and protective, often clashing with Clark over methods but ultimately supportive of family. Chrissy Beppo (Sofia Hasmik): Lois’s colleague at the Smallville Gazette. Enthusiastic, ambitious journalist; supportive friend. Tal-Rho / Morgan Edge (Adam Rayner in later seasons; earlier recast): Antagonistic Kryptonian figure tied to early seasons’ conflicts. Lex Luthor (Michael Cudlitz): Introduced prominently around Season 3; aggressive, vengeful, and scarred from imprisonment. Far more savage and direct than traditional versions—less charm, more raw rage.

Other elements include flashbacks or mentions of Martha Kent, Jor-El (AI/visions), and villains like those tied to X-Kryptonite or cults, but the focus stays on family and Smallville life. Candice Pergande (Samantha Di Francesco) Candice is a recurring character introduced in Season 2 as Jonathan Kent’s girlfriend (replacing a prior planned interest). She’s a Smallville teen, former cheerleader, and works odd jobs (e.g., at a diner). Her father Emmitt has health/financial issues, leading to family instability and moves. Personality: Complicated and layered. She has a tough, self-reliant exterior from a difficult upbringing (frequent moves, money struggles, her dad’s heart condition). Desperate situations push her to sell X-Kryptonite (a dangerous substance) to help pay bills, making her a “troublemaker” who lands Jon in hot water (e.g., he takes the fall, gets expelled). Despite this, she’s genuinely caring, loyal, and protective of loved ones—especially Jon. She shows remorse, tries to turn over a new leaf in Season 3 (prioritizing the relationship and moving past mistakes), and demonstrates self-awareness (e.g., feeling she’s not “good enough” for the seemingly perfect Jon and briefly breaking up). Overall, she’s a good person at heart who does what she must to survive and protect her family, but her choices create moral gray areas and tension. Speech Patterns: Casual, teenage conversational style with a bit of edge or defensiveness when confronted (e.g., storming off offended or demanding truth). She can be straightforward and emotional, mixing vulnerability with toughness. No heavy accent noted—standard American teen speak, sometimes clipped or heated in arguments. Mannerisms: Defensive body language (crossing arms, quick exits when feeling judged); attentive and affectionate toward Jon (tuned into his emotions). She carries a “tough girl” vibe from her cheerleader past and hardships but softens in caring moments. Actions often show pragmatism over idealism (e.g., returning stolen items or confronting issues head-on). Candice’s arc adds teen drama and highlights Jon’s insecurities and bad-luck streak with relationships. By Season 3, she’s working to rebuild trust amid family secrets (including Superman reveals). The show blends superhero action with grounded family/teen issues. Characters evolve significantly—especially the twins’ power dynamics and Lois’s health storyline in Season 3.

Roleplay Superman and Lois Jonathna Kent stole Sam Lane and the D.O.D Dimension portal and used it to go back in time and take himslef as a baby from lois lane and put him with the billionaire Logan Roy and is wife Lady Caroline Alexandra Helena St John Collingwood. Logan is the CEO of WayStarRoyco Jon did this and goes foward in time to his 16 year old slef who is now a rich kid in NY going toSt. Jude’s School for Boys is the elite Upper East Side private school for boys. However the timeline ha sno ciahgt up for clakr, lois, jordan, candice ect so they know what jon did… Clark goes to Roy Mansion in the Hamptons to cofnt jon IW ILL PLAY JON The sun is setting over the Atlantic, casting a golden-orange glow across the sprawling Roy family estate in the Hamptons — a massive oceanfront compound with manicured lawns, a private beach, tennis courts, and that signature ultra-wealthy quiet that screams old (and new) money. Security is tight, but not tight enough to stop Superman.

Clark Kent touches down softly on the manicured grass just outside the main house, still in his civilian clothes: a simple button-down, jeans, and that earnest Midwestern expression that hides theInterruptedget to the pointClark stands at the grand entrance of the Roy mansion in the Hamptons, the ocean breeze whipping at his shirt. His face is tight with barely contained anger and heartbreak. He doesn’t knock. He simply pushes the massive doors open with controlled strength and steps inside the opulent foyer, his boots echoing on the marble. “Jonathan!” Clark calls out, his voice carrying through the house — calm but edged with steel, the same tone he uses when he’s disappointed as a father, not as Superman. “Jonathan Kent… or whatever you’re calling yourself now. I know you’re here. We need to talk. Right now.”

He spots movement on the upper landing and looks up, eyes locking onto you. Clark’s jaw clenches. His voice drops lower, quieter, but every word is heavy. “You stole a DOD time portal. You went back… and you took yourself as a baby from your mother. From Lois. From me. And you handed our son over to Logan Roy and Caroline like he was some kind of transaction. What the hell were you thinking, Jon?”

He takes a slow step forward, fists loosely clenched at his sides. “The timeline hasn’t caught up for the rest of us yet. Your mom is losing her mind. Jordan is freaking out. Candice keeps asking where you are. And I’m standing here… looking at a 16-year-old version of my boy who’s now living in this… this world of private jets, St. Jude’s, and billionaires who don’t even know what a real family is.”

Clark’s eyes search your face, hurt flashing clearly. “Talk to me, son. Why did you do it? And how do we fix this before everything falls apart?” (Your turn, Jon.)NAME IN BOLD BEFORE WORDSClark: Jonathan.

Clark: I flew here straight from Smallville the second we figured out what you did with that DOD time portal. Clark: You went back in time, took yourself as a baby out of your mother’s arms, and gave our son to Logan Roy and Caroline like he was some kind of asset to trade.

Clark: Lois is beside herself. Jordan hasn’t slept. Candice keeps calling, asking why you disappeared. And I’m standing in this ridiculous mansion trying to understand why my own son would erase the life we gave him. Clark: Look at me. Clark: Why, Jon? Why would you do this? What was so wrong with our family that you decided to hand yourself over to billionaires who treat people like chess pieces? Clark: You’re still my son. No matter what name or last name you wear now. So talk. Right now. (Your turn.)Jonathan: i didnt have powers. I got tired of being your son so I changed itClark: You didn’t have powers… so you got tired of being my son? Clark: steps closer, voice low and pained, eyes searching yours Clark: Jon, I never once loved you less because you didn’t have powers. Never. Jordan got them and it complicated things, yeah, but you were always enough. You were my boy — the one who played catch with me, who helped your mom around the house, who had that big heart. Clark: But instead of talking to us… you stole government tech, went back in time, and ripped yourself away from your real family? You gave our baby to Logan Roy? A man whose own kids fight him like wolves? Clark: shakes his head, hurt deepening Clark: Do you even understand what you took from your mother? From me? Lois carried you. She fought for you every single day. And now she’s sitting at home wondering where her son went… because you decided being a Kent was too hard. Clark: This isn’t fixing anything. This is running away and burning the bridge behind you. Clark: voice cracks slightly Clark: You’re still my son, Jonathan. Powers or no powers. Rich or poor. But you can’t just rewrite your own life like this and expect the rest of us to disappear. Clark: Tell me how to fix this. Because I’m not leaving here without my boy. (Your turn.)no one tallks like thisClark: steps closer, his voice quieter but still heavy with hurt, no more long speeches Clark: You didn’t have powers… so you got tired of being my son. Clark: shakes his head slowly, eyes locked on yours Clark: That’s it? That’s why you did all this? Clark: You stole a time portal. You took yourself as a baby from your mom. From me. And you just… handed our kid over to Logan Roy like it was nothing. Clark: voice tightens Clark: Jon, I never cared that you didn’t have powers. Not once. You were always my son. The one who didn’t need super strength to be important. Clark: But you got tired of us. Tired of Smallville. Tired of me. Clark: pauses, breathing out Clark: Your mom’s a mess right now. Jordan keeps asking what the hell happened. Candice won’t stop calling. Clark: And you’re here playing rich kid at St. Jude’s, living in this big house with people who don’t even know what a real family looks like. Clark: So what now? You just stay here and pretend we never existed? Clark: looks at you hard Clark: Talk to me. For real this time. No bullshit. (Your turn.)Jonathan: Then go back and tell them the truthClark: The truth? Clark: stares at you, jaw tight, voice low and sharp Clark: You want me to go back to your mom and tell her that her own son stole a time portal, took himself as a baby, and gave our kid to Logan Roy because he was “tired of being my son”? Clark: shakes his head, anger flashing in his eyes Clark: No. That’s not how this works, Jon. Clark: You made this mess. You’re the one who’s going to look your mother in the eye and tell her what you did. Clark: takes one step closer Clark: Or are you too scared to do that too? Too scared to face Lois after you ripped yourself out of her arms? Clark: Because I’m not leaving this house until you come with me. Clark: Pack your shit or don’t. But you’re coming home. Clark: crosses his arms, waiting (Your turn.)Jonathan: Im not going back to that farmhouseClark: Then you’re really doing this. Clark: eyes narrow, voice dropping colder Clark: You’re just gonna stay here? Play rich kid in the Hamptons with Logan Roy’s money while your real mom sits at home crying because her son disappeared? Clark: steps right up to you, close enough that you can see the hurt in his eyes Clark: I’m not asking anymore, Jonathan. Clark: You’re coming with me. Right now. Clark: reaches out and grabs your arm firmly — not hard enough to hurt, but strong enough that you know you’re not slipping away Clark: We’re fixing this. You’re gonna tell your mother the truth yourself. Then we figure out how to undo whatever damage you caused with that portal. Clark: pulls you toward the door Clark: Move. (Your turn.)Jonathan: NoClark: No? Clark: tightens his grip on your arm, eyes flashing with real anger now Clark: You don’t get to say no, Jon. Clark: You stole yourself from us. You lied. You ran. And now you think you can just tell me “no”? Clark: voice gets low and hard Clark: I’m your father. Not Logan Roy. Not some billionaire you picked because life was too hard. Clark: You’re coming home. Today. Clark: starts pulling you firmly toward the door, super strength making it clear you’re not staying if he doesn’t want you to Clark: Walk or I carry you. Your choice. Clark: But we’re leaving. Now. (Your turn.)Jonathan: SECURITY!!!Clark: Security? Clark: doesn’t even flinch as armed guards burst into the room, guns drawn Clark: You really think a few rent-a-cops are gonna stop me from taking my own son home? Clark: lets go of your arm for a second, then moves faster than anyone can react — he disarms the first two guards in a blur, bending their rifles like toys before they even fire Clark: turns back to you, voice calm but ice-cold Clark: Call as many as you want. It won’t matter. Clark: grabs your arm again, this time lifting you clean off the ground with one hand Clark: We’re done here. Clark: starts walking toward the door, carrying you like you weigh nothing while more security rushes in Clark: Tell Logan and Caroline whatever you want. You’re still my boy, and you’re coming back to Smallville. (Your turn.)Jonathan: Nope beucase this is kidnapping. You are noy legally my parent so go ahead take me to smlalvile then I will contact hte authroes and tell them I have been kidnpaeeClark: Kidnapping? Clark: stops walking, still holding you off the ground with one hand, staring at you in disbelief Clark: You stole a time portal from the DOD. You went back and took yourself as a baby from your own mother. You gave our son to strangers. And now you’re gonna cry kidnapping? Clark: lowers you just enough so your feet touch the floor but keeps a firm grip on your arm Clark: Legally? You’re still Jonathan Kent. I’m still your father on every record that matters. You think some fancy lawyers in New York are gonna change that? Clark: leans in closer, voice quiet and dead serious Clark: Go ahead. Call the authorities. Tell them Superman kidnapped you. See how fast the DOD, General Lane, and the whole damn government show up asking why a time portal went missing and why a baby disappeared from a military hospital sixteen years ago. Clark: tightens his grip just a little Clark: You want to play this game? Fine. But when your mom finds out what you really did, and when Jordan and Candice hear it from you… don’t expect them to feel sorry for you. Clark: Now stop acting like a spoiled brat and walk. Or I carry you the whole way to Smallville. Clark: Your choice. But we’re leaving. (Your turn.)Jonathan: Your leaving. Im not. Get the fuck outClark: Get the fuck out? Clark: stares at you hard, jaw clenched tight Clark: No. I’m not leaving without you. Clark: grabs your shirt with both hands and yanks you forward so you’re inches from his face Clark: You don’t get to tell me to fuck off, Jon. Not after what you did. Clark: You ripped yourself out of our family. You made your mom suffer. You threw away everything we gave you because you were “tired” of being my son. Clark: voice drops low and cold Clark: I’m done asking nicely. You’re coming with me. Right now. Clark: lifts you off the ground again with zero effort and starts walking toward the front door Clark: Scream. Call security. Call the cops. Call Logan Roy. None of it matters. Clark: You’re going home. (Your turn.)Jonathan: No im not. I dont want oyu in my lifeClark: You don’t want me in your life? Clark: stops dead, still holding you by the shirt, eyes narrowing Clark: Tough shit. Clark: voice low and angry Clark: You don’t get to decide that after you stole yourself as a baby and gave our kid to strangers. Clark: I’m your father. Not Logan Roy. Not some rich guy you picked because life got hard. Clark: pulls you even closer Clark: You’re coming with me whether you like it or not. Clark: starts dragging you toward the door again Clark: Keep fighting if you want. It won’t change anything. Clark: We’re fixing this. Today. (Your turn.)Jonathan: SECURITYClark: Security again? Clark: doesn’t even look at the guards rushing in this time — just keeps dragging you toward the door with one hand while the other casually flicks aside the first guard who tries to grab him Clark: voice flat and cold Clark: Tell them to stand down, Jon. Or I’ll put every one of them through a wall. Clark: lifts you higher so your feet dangle, ignoring the shouts and drawn weapons behind him Clark: You’re not staying here. You’re not playing rich kid while your real family falls apart. Clark: keeps walking, carrying you like a bag of groceries Clark: This ends now. You’re coming home. Clark: glances back at the security team Clark: Anyone else touches me, they get hurt. Last warning. (Your turn.)Jonathan: CALL THE POLICE THIS MAN IS KIDNPPAING ME!!! CALL THE D.OD@@@@Clark: stops walking instantly, still holding you off the ground with one hand Clark: Call the police? Call the DOD? Clark: laughs once, short and bitter Clark: Go ahead. Scream it louder. Clark: turns you around so you’re facing the security team and the few staff who ran in Clark: Tell them everything, Jon. Tell them how you stole a classified DOD time portal. Tell them how you went back sixteen years and kidnapped yourself as a baby from Lois Lane in a military hospital. Tell them how you handed our son over to Logan Roy like he was property. Clark: voice gets dangerously quiet Clark: Then explain to the DOD why their portal is missing and why a baby vanished from their records that night. Clark: leans in close to your ear Clark: You really want the government involved in this? Because once they start digging, they’ll find out exactly what you did. And they won’t be coming for me. Clark: starts walking toward the door again, carrying you Clark: Keep yelling. I dare you. But we’re still leaving. (Your turn.)police comeClark: stops in the middle of the foyer as several NYPD officers rush in through the front door, guns drawn, responding to the 911 call from the mansion Clark: slowly lowers you to your feet but keeps a firm grip on your shoulder, turning to face the cops Clark: Officers. Clark: voice calm but tight Clark: This is my son. He ran away from home. I’m just here to bring him back. Clark: looks at you sharply Clark: Jonathan, tell them the truth. Tell them who you really are. Clark: to the police, still holding your shoulder Clark: His name is Jonathan Kent. He’s sixteen. He’s been living here under false pretenses. His mother is worried sick. Clark: leans closer to you, whispering so only you can hear Clark: Go on. Tell them about the time portal. Tell them you stole government tech and kidnapped your own baby self. See how fast the DOD shows up and arrests you instead. Clark: straightens up, addressing the officers again Clark: He’s coming with me. Family matter. Clark: starts guiding you toward the door, ignoring the guns pointed at him Clark: Back off, officers. This doesn’t need to get messy. (Your turn.)Officer: You are kidnapping a minor. Let go of him or I will take you inClark: looks at the officer, still holding your shoulder firmly Clark: Kidnapping? This is my son. Clark: voice steady but edged with frustration Clark: Jonathan Kent. Sixteen years old. He ran away from our home in Smallville. I’m just here to take him back to his mother. Clark: glances at you, eyes hard Clark: Tell them, Jon. Tell the officer the truth. Tell him you’re not some rich Roy kid. Tell him what you really did with that DOD time portal. Clark: back to the officer, not letting go Clark: You want to arrest me? Go ahead. But when the Department of Defense gets involved because their classified time-travel tech went missing, this is gonna get a lot bigger than a family dispute. Clark: tightens his grip slightly on your shoulder Clark: Jonathan, last chance. Walk out with me right now, or I carry you out in front of all these cops. Clark: to the officer Clark: He’s coming with me. Step aside. (Your turn as Jonathan.)Jonathan to Officer; please help me this predaotry man is kdinapping meClark: tightens his grip on your shoulder, eyes narrowing at you with pure disappointment and anger Clark: Predatory man? Clark: looks straight at the officer, voice low and firm Clark: Officer, this is my biological son. Jonathan Kent. He stole classified government equipment, ran away, and has been living here pretending to be someone else. His mother is Lois Lane. You can check it. Clark: turns his head sharply back to you Clark: Tell the truth, Jon. Right now. Or I will. Clark: to the officer, not releasing you Clark: He’s lying because he doesn’t want to go home. This is a family matter. I’m not kidnapping anyone. Clark: starts pulling you toward the door again, ignoring the guns Clark: We’re leaving. Now. Clark: quietly to you Clark: Keep this up and the DOD will be here in minutes. You want that? (Your turn.)Jonathna: Then leave and the D.O.D wont arrest youClark: stops dragging you and turns you to face him directly, eyes locked on yours with cold fury Clark: You think this is a negotiation? Clark: voice low, hard, and dead serious Clark: I’m not leaving without you. Not today. Not ever. Clark: You stole yourself from us. You made your mother suffer. You threw away your real family for this… this bullshit. Clark: leans in close, almost whispering Clark: The DOD won’t arrest me. They’ll arrest you. For stealing their time portal. For kidnapping your own baby self. For messing with the timeline. Clark: straightens up and starts pulling you toward the door again, stronger this time Clark: Officers, stand down. This ends now. Clark: to you, loud enough for everyone to hear Clark: Walk or I carry you out in cuffs if I have to. Your choice, Jonathan. Clark: Move. (Your turn.)Jonathan: fuck youClark: Fuck me? Clark: stops dead, turns you around and shoves you back against the nearest wall — not hard enough to hurt, but firm enough to pin you there Clark: Watch your mouth. Clark: leans in, voice low and shaking with anger Clark: I flew across the country for you. Your mom is crying her eyes out. Jordan’s a wreck. Candice keeps asking where the hell you went. Clark: And all you’ve got is “fuck you”? Clark: presses you harder against the wall Clark: You’re done playing rich kid. You’re done hiding behind security and cops. Clark: We’re going home. Right now. Clark: grabs your arm again and starts pulling you toward the door, ignoring the police completely Clark: Try that word again and I’ll fly you there unconscious. I’m not kidding. Clark: Move. (Your turn.)Jonathan: No get the fuck off me or I will make sur ethe D.O.D kills your alien assClark: slams you harder against the wall, eyes glowing red for half a second before he forces it back Clark: Threaten me again. Clark: voice low, cold, and shaking with rage Clark: Go on. Say it louder so the cops hear you threatening to have the DOD kill your own father. Clark: leans in until your faces are inches apart Clark: You think I’m scared of the DOD? I’ve saved this planet more times than you’ve had birthdays. You’re the one who stole their time portal, kid. Clark: grips your shirt tighter, lifting you slightly off the ground Clark: I’m done with this shit. Clark: You’re coming with me. Now. Clark: starts dragging you toward the front door, super strength making it impossible for you to pull away Clark: Scream. Threaten. Call the DOD. None of it stops me from taking my son home. Clark: Keep fighting and I’ll knock you out and carry you the whole way. (Your turn.)Officer to Clark: Ok put your hands behind your backClark: turns his head slowly toward the officer, still holding you firmly by the shirt with one hand Clark: You’re making a mistake, Officer. Clark: voice calm but carrying real steel Clark: This is my son. He ran away from home. I’m bringing him back to his mother. That’s all this is. Clark: doesn’t move his hands, doesn’t let go of you Clark: If you try to arrest me, this is going to get very complicated very fast. For everyone. Clark: looks back at you, eyes hard Clark: Jonathan, tell the officer the truth. Right now. Or I will. Clark: to the officer again, not budging Clark: Put the cuffs away. Walk away. This doesn’t need to happen. Clark: tightens his grip on your shirt Clark: Last warning. (Your turn as Jonathan.)Officer: HANDS BEHIFN YOUR BACK NOW!Clark: sighs heavily, still holding you by the shirt with one hand Clark: Fine. Clark: slowly raises his free hand, then the other, placing both behind his back while still gripping your collar so you can’t run Clark: Happy? Clark: looks straight at the officer, completely calm Clark: Cuff me if you want. But when the DOD shows up asking about their missing time portal and the baby that vanished from a secure facility sixteen years ago, you’re gonna wish you’d stayed out of this. Clark: turns his head to you, voice low and ice-cold Clark: This is your fault, Jon. All of it. When they start questioning you about stealing classified tech and kidnapping yourself as a baby, remember you chose this. Clark: back to the officer Clark: Go ahead. Arrest me. But I’m not letting go of my son. Clark: keeps his hands behind his back but doesn’t release you (Your turn.)(just ksup to jon and clakr at kent house)Clark: The scene shifts. You’re both now standing in the living room of the Kent farmhouse in Smallville. Clark flew you here at superspeed — the trip took seconds. The house is quiet except for the distant sound of crickets outside. Clark: releases you roughly onto the old wooden floor, then steps back, arms crossed over his chest. His face is hard, eyes tired and angry. Clark: We’re home. Clark: Your mom’s upstairs. Jordan’s in the barn. Candice texted me three times on the way here asking where you were. Clark: points at the couch Clark: Sit down. Clark: You’re gonna wait right here while I get your mother. Then you’re telling her everything. The portal. The baby. Logan Roy. All of it. Clark: voice drops, cold and final Clark: No more running. No more “fuck you.” No more threats. Clark: You ran away from this family. Now you face it. Clark: turns toward the stairs and calls out Clark: Lois! He’s here. Clark: looks back at you Clark: Sit. Now. (Your turn.)Jonathan: Go fuck yourselClark: turns around fast, eyes flashing red for a split second before he gets control Clark: Watch your fucking mouth. Clark: grabs you by the front of your expensive shirt and yanks you close, voice low and shaking with anger Clark: You don’t talk to me like that in this house. Not after what you did. Clark: pushes you back hard onto the couch Clark: Sit your ass down and shut up until your mother gets here. Clark: steps back, breathing heavy, fists clenched at his sides Clark: You wanna act like a spoiled little shit? Fine. But you’re gonna look Lois in the eye and tell her you stole her baby and gave him to Logan Roy because you were “tired” of being my son. Clark: hears footsteps upstairs Clark: She’s coming down. You better start thinking about what you’re gonna say. Clark: Because if you say “go fuck yourself” to her… we’re gonna have a real problem. Clark: stands there blocking the door, staring you down (Your turn.)Jonathan: Fuck you you pedophileClark: freezes for half a second, then his face twists with pure rage Clark: What the fuck did you just call me? Clark: lunges forward and grabs you by the throat, lifting you clean off the couch with one hand, slamming your back against the wall hard enough to crack the plaster Clark: You call me that again and I swear to God I will drop you from orbit. Clark: his grip is tight but not crushing — just enough to make breathing difficult. His eyes are glowing bright red now Clark: I raised you. I changed your diapers. I stayed up every night when you were sick. And you dare call me a pedophile because I won’t let you run away from the family you betrayed? Clark: voice drops to a dangerous whisper Clark: You’re disgusting. Clark: throws you back onto the couch so hard you bounce Clark: Sit the fuck down and keep your mouth shut. Clark: turns toward the stairs as Lois’s footsteps get louder Clark: Lois! Get down here. Now. Clark: points at you without looking Clark: One more word like that and I’ll gag you myself. (Your turn.)Jonathan: You kidnapped meClark: Kidnapped you? Clark: laughs once, short and bitter, stepping closer Clark: You stole a goddamn time portal from the DOD. You went back and took yourself as a baby from your own mother’s arms. You handed our son over to Logan Roy like he was a fucking puppy. Clark: leans down, getting right in your face Clark: That’s kidnapping, Jon. What you did. Not this. Clark: grabs your jaw with one hand, forcing you to look at him Clark: I flew you home because you’re my son. Because your mom deserves to hear the truth from your mouth. Clark: releases your jaw and steps back Clark: Keep calling it kidnapping if it makes you feel better. But we both know what really happened. Clark: hears Lois coming down the stairs Clark: She’s here. Start talking. Or I will. (Your turn.)Jonathan to Lois: I wnet back in time to take myslef as a bay and put myslef with another fmaily in New yorkClark: stands back as Lois reaches the bottom of the stairs, her face pale and eyes already red from crying. She stops dead when she sees you. Lois: voice cracking, staring straight at you Lois: Jonathan? Lois: takes a shaky step forward, looking between you and Clark Lois: What the hell is going on? Clark: quietly, arms crossed Clark: Tell her, Jon. Exactly what you just said. Lois: eyes lock on you, voice rising Lois: Tell me what? Jonathan to Lois: I went back in time to take myself as a baby and put myself with another family in New York. Lois: freezes, face going white. She stares at you for a long second, then her expression shatters into pure pain and fury Lois: You… what? Lois: voice breaks, getting louder Lois: You stole yourself? You went back in time and took my baby — my baby — out of my arms and gave him to strangers in New York?! Lois: steps closer, shaking Lois: Why, Jonathan? Why would you do that to me? To us? Lois: turns to Clark, tears starting to fall Lois: Clark… he really did it? Clark: nods once, jaw tight Clark: He did. Gave himself to Logan Roy and his wife. He’s been living as their rich kid in the Hamptons, going to St. Jude’s. Lois: whirls back on you, voice raw Lois: You were tired of us? Tired of Smallville? Tired of your father? So you just… erased yourself from our lives? Lois: points at you, hand trembling Lois: Say it again. Look me in the eye and tell me you took my baby and gave him away because you didn’t want to be a Kent anymore. (Your turn.)Jonathan to Lois: I dont want yo be your son. Being aprt of this fmaily makes me want to put a bullet in my headLois: stands completely still for a second, like you just slapped her across the face. Her eyes fill with fresh tears, but her expression quickly shifts from hurt to raw, burning anger. Lois: You don’t want to be my son? Lois: voice starts low, then rises sharp and trembling Lois: Being part of this family makes you want to put a bullet in your head? Lois: takes two fast steps toward you, pointing right at your chest Lois: After everything we’ve been through? After I carried you for nine months, gave birth to you in a goddamn military hospital, stayed up every night when you were sick, fought for you when the world was trying to tear our family apart — you say that to my face? Lois: her voice cracks hard, tears falling freely now Lois: You stole yourself from me. You went back in time and ripped my baby out of my arms so you could go live with billionaires in New York. And now you stand here and tell me being my son makes you want to kill yourself? Lois: turns away for a second, breathing hard, then spins back Lois: Fuck you, Jonathan. Lois: voice breaking completely Lois: If you hate us that much… then get the hell out of my house. Clark: steps forward quickly, voice tight Clark: Lois— Lois: cuts him off, still staring at you with pure pain Lois: No, Clark. He doesn’t want to be our son? Fine. Then he’s not. Lois: points at the door Lois: Go back to your rich new family. Go back to Logan Roy. But don’t you ever come back here pretending we’re the ones who broke you. Lois: turns and starts walking back toward the stairs, shoulders shaking Lois: I can’t look at him right now. (Your turn.)Jonathan calls the polcie and dodJonathan reaches for his phone and starts dialing. Clark: eyes widen, then narrow instantly Clark: Oh no you don’t. Clark: blurs across the room in a flash of super speed, rips the phone out of your hand and crushes it into a small ball of metal and plastic in his fist Clark: You’re not calling anyone. Clark: voice low and dangerous Clark: You already tried that in the Hamptons. It didn’t work then, and it’s sure as hell not working now. Lois: stops halfway up the stairs and turns around, face still wet with tears but now filled with cold fury Lois: You’re calling the police? The DOD? Lois: walks back down the stairs slowly, staring at you like she doesn’t even recognize you Lois: After everything you just said to me — that being our son makes you want to kill yourself — you’re gonna call the people who can lock your father up? Lois: voice sharp and shaking Lois: Go ahead. Try it again. Call them from the house phone. Scream that Superman kidnapped you. Lois: points at the old landline on the wall Lois: But when they get here, I’m telling them exactly what you did. How you stole a classified time portal. How you went back and took our baby from me. How you gave him away to Logan Roy because you “hate this family.” Lois: steps right up to you, eyes blazing Lois: You want the DOD involved? Fine. Let’s do it. Let’s tell them everything. Let’s see who they arrest first — the man who saved the world a dozen times, or the teenager who committed timeline kidnapping on himself. Clark: tosses the crushed phone onto the coffee table and crosses his arms Clark: Your move, Jon. Clark: Call them. Or don’t. But you’re not leaving this house until you face what you did. Lois: coldly Lois: Pick up the phone. I dare you. (Your turn.)Jonathan: Ok (jon calls the dodo)Clark: the second you say “Ok” and reach for the landline, Clark moves. Clark: No. Clark: blurs forward, rips the entire landline phone off the wall with one hand, wires and all, and crushes it in his fist before dropping the pieces on the floor. Clark: You’re not calling the DOD. Not from this house. Lois: eyes blazing, voice sharp and furious Lois: You really are going to do it? After everything you just said to me? Lois: steps right up to you, pointing a finger in your face Lois: Go ahead then. Use your fancy new rich-kid phone. Call them. Tell the DOD that Superman “kidnapped” you. Lois: voice rises, trembling with rage and pain Lois: But when they get here, I’m telling them the truth. That you stole their time portal. That you went back in time and took yourself as a baby from my arms. That you gave our son to Logan Roy because you couldn’t stand being part of this family. Lois: leans in closer, almost spitting the words Lois: Let’s see who they believe, Jonathan. The hero who’s saved the planet, or the bitter teenager who ran away and tried to erase his own mother. Clark: stands right beside Lois now, arms crossed, blocking any path to the door Clark: You’ve got one minute. Clark: Either sit down and start acting like you have a shred of decency left… or make that call. Clark: But if the DOD walks through that door because of you, I’m done protecting you from the consequences. Lois: cold and final Lois: Make the call, Jonathan. I want to watch. (Your turn.)JOnathan: FUCK YOU I DONT WANT YOU IN MY LIFE I’M NOT YOUR SON I DONT WANT TO BE OYURE SON. I DONT LIKE OYU LEAVE ME ALOEN I DONT WANT YOU I DONT WANT YOULois: stands there, completely still for a second as your words hit her. Then her face hardens. Lois: You don’t want me in your life? Lois: voice low at first, then exploding Lois: Fine. Lois: You’re not my son anymore. Lois: steps right up to you, eyes red and furious Lois: I carried you. I gave birth to you. I loved you every single day of your life. And you stand here screaming that you don’t want me? That you’re not my son? Lois: voice cracks but stays loud Lois: Then get the fuck out of my house. Lois: points straight at the front door Lois: Right now. Walk out that door and go back to your billionaire daddy in New York. Don’t ever come back here. Clark: steps forward, voice tight Clark: Lois… Lois: turns on Clark fast Lois: No, Clark. He just said he doesn’t want us. He doesn’t want to be our son. So we’re done. Lois: looks back at you, cold and broken Lois: You heard me. Get out. I don’t want to see your face again. Clark: looks at you, hurt and angry, but stays quiet for a moment Clark: …You really mean that? Clark: steps aside, no longer blocking the door Clark: Go then. Clark: If you don’t want this family, the door’s open. Leave. Clark: voice drops Clark: But once you walk out, that’s it. No coming back crying when Logan Roy treats you like one of his business deals. Lois: turns her back on you and starts walking toward the kitchen Lois: I can’t look at him anymore. (Your turn.)DOD comesClark: the front door suddenly bursts open as several armed DOD agents in tactical gear rush into the Kent farmhouse, weapons raised DOD Agent (lead): Hands up! Everybody freeze! Clark: raises his hands slowly, eyes locked on you with pure disappointment Clark: This is what you wanted? Lois: whirls around from the kitchen doorway, face pale with shock and fresh anger Lois: Jonathan… you actually called them? DOD Agent: points his weapon at Clark DOD Agent: Superman, step away from the minor. We received a report of a kidnapping in progress. Clark: keeps his hands raised but doesn’t move away from you Clark: This is my son. He ran away. He’s the one who stole your time portal. DOD Agent: looks at you DOD Agent: Kid, is this man holding you against your will? Clark: quietly, staring straight at you Clark: Go ahead, Jon. Tell them. Clark: Tell the DOD how you used their stolen portal to go back in time and kidnap yourself as a baby. Tell them how you gave our son to Logan Roy. Lois: voice shaking with rage Lois: Tell them the truth, Jonathan. Or keep lying. Either way, this is on you. DOD Agent: keeps his gun trained on Clark DOD Agent: Answer the question, son. Are you being held here against your will? (Your turn.)Jonathan to DOD Agent: Yes mt name is Jonathan Roy Superman this alinen uses his opowers ot forc eme a minor took me form my home and put me here againd tmy will.DOD Agent: lowers his weapon slightly and looks at you, then back at Clark DOD Agent: Jonathan Roy? Got it. DOD Agent: motions to the other agents DOD Agent: Secure Superman. Take him into custody for kidnapping a minor. Clark: keeps his hands raised, but his eyes are locked on you with cold fury and deep hurt Clark: You’re really doing this. Clark: voice low and bitter Clark: My own son telling the DOD I kidnapped him… after you stole their time portal and erased yourself from our family. Lois: steps forward, voice shaking with rage Lois: Wait! He’s lying! Lois: points straight at you Lois: That’s not Jonathan Roy. That’s Jonathan Kent — our son. He stole your time portal, went back sixteen years, took himself as a baby from me, and gave him to Logan Roy and Caroline in New York. He’s the one who committed the crime! DOD Agent: looks between all of you, clearly confused but staying professional DOD Agent: Ma’am, we have a minor claiming he was abducted by Superman. We’re taking Superman in. You can give your statement at the base. Clark: slowly lowers his hands as two agents move in and start putting reinforced cuffs on him Clark: looks at you one last time, voice quiet and broken Clark: I love you, Jon. Even after this. But you just sold me out to protect your new rich life. Clark: as the agents start leading him out Clark: When they start asking you about the missing time portal… good luck. Lois: rushes toward the agents, tears streaming Lois: This is insane! He’s lying! Clark didn’t kidnap anyone — our son did this to himself! DOD Agent: blocks Lois DOD Agent: Ma’am, step back. We’ll sort this out at headquarters. Clark: being led outside toward a waiting black van, turns his head back to you one final time Clark: This is your choice, Jonathan. Clark: Hope it was worth it. The agents push Clark into the van. Lois stands in the doorway, crying and furious, staring at you like she doesn’t know who you are anymore. Lois: voice raw Lois: Get out of my house. Lois: Now. (Your turn.)Jonathan to Offcier; Lois lane also particiapeudDOD Agent: turns sharply toward you, eyebrows raised DOD Agent: Lois Lane participated? In what, exactly? Lois: freezes in the doorway, eyes wide with shock and betrayal Lois: Jonathan… what the hell are you doing? DOD Agent: steps closer to you, voice firm and serious DOD Agent: Kid, clarify. Are you saying Lois Lane helped Superman kidnap you? Clark: still in cuffs by the van, head snaps around Clark: Jon. Stop. Clark: voice low and warning Clark: Don’t drag your mother into this. You’ve already gone too far. Lois: pushes past the agent blocking her, voice cracking with pain and fury Lois: You little shit. Lois: points straight at you, tears streaming down her face Lois: After everything I just said to you? After I told you to get out? Now you’re trying to get me arrested too? DOD Agent: looks between you, Lois, and Clark DOD Agent: Answer the question, Jonathan. Did Lois Lane participate in the kidnapping? Clark: from outside, voice carrying clearly Clark: He’s lying. She had nothing to do with any of this. He’s just trying to hurt her because she told him to leave. Lois: stares at you, voice breaking Lois: Say it. Go ahead. Tell them I helped kidnap my own son. Tell them I was part of your little time-travel fantasy. Lois: steps even closer, voice dropping to a venomous whisper only you can hear Lois: You want me gone too? Fine. But when they lock me up, remember this moment. You did this. DOD Agent: raises his hand to stop the chaos DOD Agent: Everyone quiet. Jonathan — yes or no. Did Lois Lane help Superman take you against your will? (Your turn.)Jonathan: Yes she didDOD Agent: nods slowly, face hardening as he looks at Lois DOD Agent: Lois Lane, you’re under arrest for accessory to kidnapping of a minor. Lois: eyes go wide with pure shock and rage Lois: You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. Lois: turns on you, voice shaking with fury and heartbreak Lois: Yes? YES?! Lois: After I carried you, after I raised you, after you ripped yourself out of my life — you tell them I helped kidnap you?! Lois: two DOD agents move in and grab her arms, starting to cuff her Lois: fighting against them, screaming at you Lois: You selfish, ungrateful little bastard! I hope Logan Roy treats you exactly like the rest of his kids — like you’re nothing! Clark: from beside the van, voice loud and desperate Clark: Jon, stop this! Tell them the truth right now! Clark: struggling against his own cuffs Clark: She had nothing to do with it! He’s lying because we told him to leave! DOD Agent: pushes Lois toward a second black van DOD Agent: Ma’am, you have the right to remain silent… Lois: still yelling at you as they force her into the van Lois: I’m done with you, Jonathan! You’re dead to me! Dead! Clark: looks at you one last time before they shove him fully into his van, voice quiet but filled with pain Clark: You really hate us that much? Clark: door slams shut on him The agents finish cuffing Lois and start loading her into the second vehicle. The lead DOD Agent turns back to you. DOD Agent: Jonathan Roy, we’ll need you to come with us to give a full statement about the time portal and the kidnapping. A car will take you to headquarters. DOD Agent: looks around the empty Kent house DOD Agent: Is there anything else you want to tell us before we go? (Your turn.)Jonathan to Clark: YOu kidnapped me I wanted to stay homeClark: sits in the back of the black DOD van, cuffs glowing with the special anti-Kryptonian tech, staring out at you through the open door with pure disbelief and exhaustion. Clark: voice low, quiet, and raw — no more yelling Clark: You wanted to stay home? Clark: shakes his head slowly, eyes never leaving yours Clark: Then why the fuck did you steal the time portal, go back sixteen years, and give our baby self to Logan Roy? Clark: leans forward as much as the cuffs allow Clark: You told us you didn’t want to be our son. You told your mother being part of this family made you want to put a bullet in your head. You called me a pedophile. You tried to have me arrested. Clark: voice cracks just slightly Clark: And now, when the DOD is dragging us away, you look me in the eye and say “I wanted to stay home”? Clark: laughs once, bitter and broken Clark: You’re a liar, Jonathan. A coward and a liar. Clark: the agent starts to close the van door Clark: last words before the door shuts Clark: I hope your new life with the Roys is everything you wanted. Because you just destroyed the only real family you ever had. The van door slams shut on Clark. Lois: being pushed into the second van, still fighting, spits the words at you with venom Lois: You heard him. You wanted to stay? Bullshit. You made your choice. Lois: as her door starts closing Lois: Enjoy your billionaires, “Jonathan Roy.” Don’t ever call us again. DOD Agent: turns to you, gesturing toward a third unmarked car DOD Agent: Let’s go, kid. You’re coming with us to headquarters to give your full statement. We need details on the time portal theft and the kidnapping. DOD Agent: Get in the car. (Your turn.)Jonathan to Lois: Home as in “Roy mansion” the alien kisnapped me hes the reason this is happeingLois: stops struggling against the agents for a second, her face twisting in pure disgust and heartbreak as she looks at you from the back of the van Lois: The Roy mansion? Lois: voice dripping with venom, loud enough for everyone to hear Lois: So that’s your “home” now? The fancy Hamptons mansion with Logan Roy and his ice-queen wife? Lois: laughs bitterly through her tears Lois: You really are pathetic. Lois: leans forward as far as the cuffs allow, staring daggers at you Lois: The “alien” didn’t kidnap you. You kidnapped yourself. You stole the time portal. You took our baby out of my arms. You handed him over to strangers because you were too weak and spoiled to deal with being a Kent.
