This is my prologue for my hypothetical reboot of the show Smallville and how i'd do the concept. I'll be releasing "episodes" like this over time. However this is just to give a taste for what it'll look like. Feedback is greatly appreciated for this and future chapters.

The starry night sky lit up the evening fields. Many watched it, but many slept straight through it. These stars were watched by a little girl that night. Watching in wonder of what was out there. Smallville was a town recently filled with lights; already clouding it's wonderful skies. Lana Lang was an inquisitive girl who wished to adventure outwards in order to see the stars in the open. Usually, Lana would see them with her father. However, her father had died several months ago along with her mother in an excavation job down in the outer dig sites where they both had worked. Lana had been reminded of this moment when searching and was beginning to lose hope on her finding anything interesting until…

In the telescope Lana had borrowed from her teacher, she saw a green light travelling fast towards her. She smiled, letting her past thoughts go to rest. She finally saw some activity in outer space beyond constellations and shooting stars. She sees it through the scope, but squinted as the light shines brighter than it had initially at a far distance. As she sees how close it is getting, she quickly dashes off the hill she had placed the telescope. Lana shuts her eyes briefly as she felt the ground shake below her, with the grass pulled off from the dirt below it slightly. A loud noise from the light fades almost as soon as it entered Lana's ears. She opens her eyes slowly as she awaits whatever loud monsters had crashed near her, but finds the light to be going off in the distance closer to the old farms than her general direction. Lana shrugs a sigh of relief.

Over in Metropolis, the reflective skyscrapers shone brightly during a rainstorm affecting the city. All, but one. The LuthorCorp building lit only it's main sign this evening. The rest of it being more of a dark fortress than a business. Inside, Lex Luthor sees that below him, the people stand just as small as he feels. Lex heard the rain and the people outside. As small as he was, he managed to climb up to the window in order to open it. He managed to drown out the noise of both his father Lionel, and his mother Lillian. They both were having a heated argument about an event of their past. Lex prefered to not get involved because him doing so would typically insight violence from either one. After a while of listening to the raindrops and feeling them on his face, Lex heard a sound that drowned out the rain drops. A gunshot was heard in the main office with an impact sound along with it on the other side of the room Lex waited in. A shadow covered the door, but quickly moved. Lex cowered to the other end of the waiting room he was in. Closing the window to make it seem like he had not changed anything. His father had come in through the door, shaken, but stern as ever. Lex had felt tears rolling down his face covered by the raindrops he had felt earlier. Not that his father would care what it was either way. He had then approached Lex.

"Come, pack your things. Go!" Lionel said impatiently. He had made aggressive gestures to get Lex to leave which was common for him.

"W-where a-are we going?" Lex stuttered out nervously.

"A small farm town called Smallville. A fresh start for when… a couple of bad business deals blow over." Lionel said calmly, wishing to comfort Lex suddenly and slowing down his more impatient yelling from before. Appearing to a place of love at that moment.

Lex nodded to his father nervously, before he travelled several stories through the elevator with his toys and clothes in hand. The elevator had a clear view of the sky seen from it's glass exterior. Where he sees a green star shining in a far off view of the mountains. Lex looks sullen from his own fears of what might have happened that night, but tries to ignore it out of fear.

In a small wooden house in the woods near the town of Smallville, loud whirring noises start increasing. A middle aged woman sleeps inside the home, but is woken up when the sound ends in a sudden screech. She looks around from her rocking chair she rested in to find a trail of smoke coming from her living room. She cautiously follows it, but picks up a shotgun hidden behind two wooden panels in the floor. A shadowy, inhuman force appears crouched in her kitchen surrounded by the debrid of her kitchen table. She aims the shotgun at the being.

"My name is Victoria Klingman, state your business in my home alien!" Klingman announces demandingly. The being squints at the woman, feeling dazed.

"Where… where are the hunters?" The being speaks in a slow tone. Almost out of breath. However still commanding with a deep voice that is natural to them.

"You are bringing more?! Answer me!" Klingman is getting even more impatient and closer to the trigger finger. Suddenly, a force that feels like an earthquake rocks the old house. Causing both the unknown being and Victoria to stumble. Klingman lets off a shot from the shotgun that hits a nearby vase. This startles the being as a green translucent wave travels over the both of them. Klingman feels nothing, but the being feels an intense pain in his head. The being screams in pain as they start feeling their inhuman form start to change into a more human body. Klingman gasps as she looks upon herself in front of her. Feeling like a reflection, but the expression indicates the being's presence rather than her own. She attacks the being in fear, frustration, and anger as she prepares to kill this being while on the ground. Arming her shotgun to deliver a final shot. However in the struggle, the being now in the form of Klingman managed to use her confusion against her to try and redirect the shot. Victoria Klingman hears the gunshot and a sharp pain in her insides. She looks down and sees that she has a hole in her chest from the shot. She stammers, but then falls onto the blood filled floor boards and dies. The being in the disguised form of Klingman shakes from the shot. Surprised at the act committed, they look at their new form. Desperate to change it back to the true form of the alien.

On the way back from the clinic, Martha and Jonathan Kent feel empty silence filling their truck. They haven't talked to each other since leaving. They got the news sent to them that Martha couldn't have children. A wish that both of them held dearly had been lost forever. While nothing was strained in the relationship of the couple, their pain did keep them from communicating their feelings on this matter, until one spoke up.

"Jonathan, look! Up in the sky!" Martha exclaimed in wonder as she saw some object flying fast above them towards a small field north of their own farm. The one Jonathan has been caring for in his life for years. Jonathan notices and quickly pulls the brakes before they both suffer another tragedy that day. He turns to Martha's seat.

"You alright Martha?" Jonathan says in worry. Martha smiles a little bit. "What's so funny?" Jonathan begins smiling as well.

"Who knew it would take some kind of meteor to get us talking again." Martha then gets out of the car. Jonathan follows after her. "Speaking of, what was that?"

"Could be a satellite knocked out of orbit" Martha guessed. She had no idea, but she wished for a logical explanation in order to get back home and cope with what she had lost.

"Out here? Maybe, but.." Jonathan's train of thought is interrupted when he looks closer to the crater nearby that the couple had been walking towards. They were both shocked as it looked like a spaceship. One metal ship the size of a pickup truck, with the wings adding extra length to it. They look on in shock until Martha brings out the courage to speak.

"I-is that… a spaceship?" Martha says nervously, she asks this as a question, but it's mostly to calm herself as Jonathan wouldn't know himself.

"I'm not sure. Could be something the feds left behind in this town." Jonathan begins heading towards the ship as he touches the top of it that had been covered in grains of dirt by the crash. It opens from Jonathan's touch on the metal, leading to the top section of the pod to open up and startle Jonathan away from the ship. Martha leans into it when it fully opens up.

"There's something in there. Wonder what..." She looks in and finds something, or rather someone in the pod. A little baby, one that Martha had always imagined. The baby had reached out to Martha almost like it was destiny that they had met. Martha looked at Jonathan with another smile. This one with tears. It reminded Jonathan of her smile before they went to their doctor's office.

"Jonathan, we have to bring this child home." Martha had announced this determined. She knew what she had to do now. She felt uncertain for the entire drive back with something in her life gone, but now… she found it again.

"Martha, we can't. I know this is what you wanted, but-" Jonathan was interrupted by Martha softly bringing a finger to her husband's lips. "It's not what I want, it's what this child needs. Think about it, whether from some planet out there or just a test from Nasa, they need us to take care of them." Martha said this with the same compassion Jonathan recognized in many decisions made before in their relationship. However he knew this would be the most important one of their lives.

"Having someone from a different world in our care will need just as much love as any child related by blood. I want us to promise we have that."

Jonathan and Martha held onto each other and looked at the child kept in the ship. They looked back at each other and held onto their hands tightly. Signifying to themselves as the sunrise comes up over their long evening when they are making the right choice. Martha gently picks up the baby and they both go home.

On their drive over in their old pickup, they hear an SUV travelling behind them. Jonathan looks closer at it in the rearview mirror and quietly swears under his breath. Martha looks on to the mirror as well. "What is it?" She asks worryingly. "That SUV is tailing us." Jonathan says softly, but with a bit of frustration as well. Martha calms herself down and then tries to reassure Jonathan. "You sure that it's after us?" Jonathan looks at it again as he does a turn. The SUV slowly turns as well. "Yep, it's done so for the last turn I did too." Jonathan says, still in fear of what will happen. The SUV catches up to them and rolls up it's windows right next to Jonathan's pickup. The man inside looks towards them. "Pull over the vehicle." The driver says sternly. Jonathan pulls over shortly after giving Martha a concerned look. Letting them both know it's a choice they are forced to make.

The driver pulls over and walks towards the truck. His uniform and black boots stand out as military in the muddy roads in Smallville's farms.

"Sorry for interrupting you both, but there has been a crash sighting in the area and I was hoping to ask about what you saw out there." The driver asks very friendly compared to before.

"No, I don't believe there was anything. We.. just went on our way after stopping. Leg cramps, you know?" Jonathan gives a fake chuckle after. He dies it down when he realizes the man had not changed from his stern expression. Jonathan then speaks after a long silence.

"Why are you out here searching trucks anyway?"

"I have reason to suspect that there is some sort of foreign technology in the area of the crash site. It might be weapons being snuck in through Kansas, or some sort of surveillance equipment." The man guessed. Jonathan was unsure if he could trust him. Martha didn't feel so either. Clutching the baby softly during all of this.

"What's under that cover?" The driver asks. He points towards the cover that is covering the baby. Martha is now the one in the spotlight of questions the driver is demanding.

"It's..." Martha looks reluctantly at the cover. She couldn't really give up the chance she has now. Even if this child was in someone else's arms, she'd still do the right thing. Finally, she made her choice.

"Vegetables. Needed some more than the truck can keep safe." Martha lied, but it was for a good reason to her. She wanted to protect this baby and she would continue doing so as long as the child was in her and Jonathan's care. The driver nodded and gestured for them to continue driving, but wished for them to be safe on their trip back home.

Jonathan clutched the wheel in fear. He didn't like being in such a close call with some government official. He headed home as fast as he could while considering Martha and the baby.

"No matter what, we protect this child. Raise it as our own." Jonathan turns to Martha to confirm her own feelings on this matter.

"No matter what." They continue driving and all three of them see their home close at the end of their long drive, but a longer journey for them all awaits.
