- Your mom wanted us to move to Smallville

- This family needs Smallville.

- About a year ago,

I took a bunch of my mom's pills.

She made a really big drama out of it.

Lots of therapy.

- Hey! That's my girlfriend!

- Girlfriend? - It is an article

I am working on about Morgan Edge.

He's not here to save Smallville.

Edge changed my story.

I can't let him do this.

That is the best writing I have done

I already quit.

- Wait, so you can hear

every sound in the world at once?

- It's more like I hear all the fluctuations taking place

in the collective sonic frequency.

- That makes zero sense to me.

- So how do you tell between, like,

someone in trouble and someone shouting for a taxi?

- Well, it took lots of years of training

at the Fortress, but that's where I learned

to hone in on certain sounds, like people in distress.

- Wait, be for real, though.

What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever heard?

- Nope. Not appropriate.

- Be honest. Was there nudity involved?

- Maybe when you guys are older.

- Oh, come on, come on! - What?

- Another time, another time.

- I would've much rather had super hearing

with calling it "heat vision" for now, okay?

Every power comes with its own burden.

- You mean rules.

- Which are meant to protect you.

- Yeah. "Don't use my powers,

don't draw attention to myself."

- Oh, "Don't feed him after midnight."

- Hey, it's important that we don't draw

unnecessary attention to our family.

If anyone ever found out the truth about me,

it would change everything.

- It's not like we're worried you two

are gonna post it on Facebook.

- I mean, yeah, we're not soccer moms.

- My point is, you need to be mindful of your actions.

It's the small things that'll raise suspicion.

- Look, when I was your age, my dad was really strict,

and at the time, it seemed unfair.

But now, I realize it gave me a normal life.

And that's what I want for the two of you.

- Yeah, if by "normal" you mean we're cast out like lepers,

Smallville High has it covered.

- All I'm asking is that you're careful, okay?

I can't always be there.

- Okay. - Yeah, all right.

- Couldn't we just sat in the waiting room?

- What if somebody we know came in?

They might ask questions. - You know,

if this is something you're so embarrassed about,

then maybe we shouldn't be doing it anymore.

- We agreed, Kyle. This is important.

- It's been a year, Lana.

- Why does it feel like

I'm the only one that's still worried about this?

- Will you stop with this again?

You're not the only one worried about this.

- You sure have a funny way of showing it.

Hey, honey.

- Hey, mija.

- How did it go with Dr. Lawrence?

- That's...between me and her.

- I just want to make sure you're doing okay, that's all.

- Then stop asking me about it every 10 seconds.

- - I'm seeing Dr. Lawrence

like you asked, okay?

Can we just go now? Dad?

- Roger that.

- Hey, you weren't in first period class

this morning. Everything all right?

- Not according to my mom.

It's fine, it's just some dumb family drama stuff.

I've been meaning to ask you this.
