Vesta

Martha was sitting out on the front porch drinking a cold glass of homemade lemonade.

When she saw Kara , Clark , walking up Vesta was riding him Piggy back with her arms wrapped around his shoulders .

“ I see you found them”.

“ Yes Aunt Martha they we’re getting ready to head this way.

“ I’m hungry what did you make for lunch Nana?”

“ There some chicken soup ready in a cup on the table for you”.

She came out of the house a few minutes later with the cup of soup in one hand ,and a glass of juice in the other .

“Here honey let me help you with that said Martha getting the juice from her ,sitting it on a small table by the swing.

“Daddy warm my soup up for me please”.

Clark took the bowl of soup ,and warm it up for her afterwards sitting it beside her juice.

She scooted her little chair up ,and eyed the glass of juice than she looked up at him again.

“Daddy make my juice really cold like a slushy”.

“ Okay he said turning the juice into cool slush.

“ Anything else your highness?”

She took a sip .

“No Sir”.

“ Clark can we go talk in the loft?”

He gets up.

“Sure Kara”.

“ Vesta finish your juice ,and soup when I get through talking to Kara it will be naptime for you”.

She sighed .Kara was already sitting on the couch in the loft.

“What is going on Cousin”?

“Clark I heard through the grape vine Lex is out of the coma”.

He was speechless for a moment.

“Kara after all he has done to me over the years I could careless if he came out or not”.

“He is just a control freak”.

He looked out the window at Vesta , “ it’s a miracle she found her way here”.

“ Clark I understand what your saying ,but I just wanted to give you the heads up ,so you’ll keep and eye out, I trust Lex about as far as I can throw a chuck of green K”.

“Kara thanks for letting me know, he said just as Vesta was coming up the loft stairs.

“Daddy I’ve finish eating”, he picks her up. “

I really appreciate you giving me the heads up I’ll watch my back . Vesta laid her head on his shoulder.

“I need to go tuck her in for a nap”.

“We can talk more later”. She smiled . “Okay cousin I’ll be here”.
“I’ve decided to stay until the next semester starts up instead of going back to the dorm”. “ I really missed Aunt Martha’s cooking”.

Vesta lifted her head.

“We can go shopping Kara”.

“Yeah one day next week if your daddy does not care”.

Clark took Vesta inside the house ,and put her down for a nape .

Martha ,and Kara were sitting at the kitchen table.

“She out like a light I had to thumbed her on the forehead to put her to sleep”. He went over to the to frig. Kara ,and Martha glared at him.

“What is it”?

“Clark she just a little girl” They both said simultaneously .

He let out a hardy laugh. “I’m just joking”.
“Oh Clark you certainly do have a twisted scene of humor”,said Kara

“I know”.

After lunch he went back outside .

He wanted to be alone to think over the news Kara had given him.

He was glad he put Lex in a coma even though he knew two wrongs did not make a right in fact he wanted to stay far away from his nemesis.

Although he knew one day their paths would cross again ,and the flame of hate would be rekindled.

An hour later Vesta walked outside to play in her fortress ,with Acheron at her heels .Shelby was laying on the porch taking it easy.

“Daddy”.

She a just taken a shower,and her hair was in a ponytail ,and she was wearing a pink button up shirt with blue jeans shorts


“Look at what Kara brought for me in Metropolis".

She did a model’s turn showing off her new attire.

The other shirt she got me is red with spaghetti straps, it has a skirt to go with it”. " Daddy Do you like it?"

“I like it”. “Did you”?

“Yes daddy I remember my manners”. “ I thanked her”.

“Okay go play , but don’t get dirty”

“ We’re going to Metropolis later on this afternoon”.
