Who Clark Kent and Connor Kent.
What: Connor sets fire to the school library.
When: Earlier this month.
Where: School library.
Warnings: Fire!
Connor had a hell of a time fitting into new places. He didn’t really know how people reacted to things, he mimicked to learn. School however, was a different beast altogether. Everyone reacted wildly differently. Some stuck to themselves, others clung to groups. Connor was mostly of the earlier mentioned loner for the first few days. He was the new kid again. He’d never not been so far for the first year of his life, so that was frustrating. He had to rebuild all over again. He found doing so was difficult.
Days passed without incident, but he was tired come Thursday with a new schedule he wasn’t used to being forced to keep. With his exhaustion he found himself resting in the library. His head was down on his arms and his eyes were closed. At first, it was silent.
Then the sound of some kind of bug caused his eyes to snap open. There was no bug in sight.Then, a girl raising her voice at some guy. There was no one yelling in the library though. To Connor, it sounded as clear as day.
Then more voices. He looked for the sources, but none of them were in his direct vicinity.
He put his hands over his ears hoping to block the sound, but of course that did basically nothing. Brows furrowed as the noises separated. They were sharp like a hot knife cutting at his insides. His body reacted the only way it knew how.
Defense. It thought it was being physically harmed, then suddenly that library was on fire as a beam of red hot fire from Connor’s eyes caught a nearby bookshelf. People started running and the noises only got louder and louder. He was breathing heavily at that point as he stood.
Some people stared, most just ran away once they caught sight of him and the flames rising from the bookshelves that he didn’t know were even there. It felt like he was being pulled apart in five different physical noisy directions.
It only got worse. The fire alarm blared. Connor could no longer focus.
