Hi, Virginia!
Thanks for stopping in!
I like early! You can post early whenever you like.
Figured you'd like that!
My, Cameron Trask is an evil, evil man and we haven't even been introduced to Jason yet. I can just imagine how much Jason hates "S" for getting all of his father's attention (even if none of his love).
Yes, very, very evil. Kinda like my muse.
I'm glad that Jensen is there. Poor Clark. How Cameron tortures the kid. Doesn't he know that if you want someone to do what you want it's better to do so with kindness first? Guess not!
Well, Jenson's kindness (what little he can sneak in) is important in keeping Clark from going completely over the edge. As for Trask, he's pretty ruthless and single-minded, huh?
Interesting that S doesn't catch earth diseases and germs despite when exposed to the green rock. I would think he'd be more vulnerable to them when exposed, because it's not something his body is used to. Maybe he just has a natural immunity against all human / earth illnesses.
I was thinking along the lines of a natural immunity. Earth diseases just aren't compatible with his body. I suppose it could go either way though, since it's never touched on in canon, except for in Home Is Where The Hurt Is...and then, he's not being exposed to Kryptonite.
So, what is Cameron teaching S in his private studies. Clearly, he wants revenge against "someone" the military, but which one? All of it? The pentagon? Or every base in the world? The government? I'm glad even at 10, S is smart enough to recognize that Cameron isn't someone to believe or trust.
He's teaching him tactical stuff. Where countries are located. Who runs them. What weapons are called what. His plan (and I might need to clarify this, but I was trying to write it more from what Clark is able to observe) is to take revenge on everyone. The woman who accused him of rape. The court marshal. The Entire US military, for taking all his years of service and giving him nothing in return. And finally, he's just looney enough to want to topple world governments.
S is smart enough to realize Cameron is bad because a) he's Clark, and Clark is naturally smart and b) because of the horrendous way he treats him. Clark sees that only he is treated so awfully and has been exposed to a small amount of compassion from Jenson.
Yea! That S recognizes that sunlight makes him stronger. Booo! On Trask keeping him indoors all the time. I think this might have to do more with Tempus telling him that someday S will be able to leap tall building with a single bound and also fly. But without the sunlight, he will not become the super soldier Trask wants him to be.
Trask does realize it. But he also doesn't want to risk Clark getting too strong yet. Not until he's fully under his control.
Where are Martha and Jonathan when you need them?! (And, please, I know they're in Kansas.)
In Kansas?
Seriously, they are just going about their (childless) life in Kansas, working their farm. Will we see them again?
Maybe. Maybe not. And if we do, what capacity will it be in?
