At Clark Kent's apartment, Kent walks in through the door. He puts his suitcase next to the door and walks into his bedroom. Looking into the mirror as he takes off his ring (it looks suspiciously like a Legion flight ring.) He takes off his suit and tie and grabs the phone. He calls his mother "Have you seen the news, ma?" "Yes Clark, I have.. I see you're still wearing that old tattered bunch of rags under your clothes." "It's not that tattered, in fact, barely a tear.." "I'd have thought it'd be worn by now.. Ever since you were a teenage you wore that." "Yeah.. I guess.. I guess what you and the others said. I have special powers.. I can't deny that." "Your father always knew one day you'd go out and showboat.." "I'm not show-boating, Ma. I was helping." "Seeing you lift a 40 ft metal donut into the sky doesn't sound like helping, son." Clark chuckles. "I guess you're going to keep this up then, aren't you?" "No.. I don't think I can. I mean, this was just a one time thing.." "That's what you said in Smallville Clark, next thing we know you're running around at the speed of sound every time you hear a little girl cry." "But Kansas was different, there wasn't all this noise. I've been blocking it out since I got to Metropolis. All I hear is cries for help, cries for someone to stand up and protect them." Clark walks into the living room and grabs his brief case, he opens it "Well, Clark.. You're special, you have great powers and we've raised you to be a good man, but you're not a savior.." Clark grabs a few papers most of which are photos from the Power plant accident. "I'm not fit for this world.." Clark drops the phone as heard the last saying, its a different voice not his mothers or his own "I can't live this lie anymore.." He looks out the window and leaps. We cut to a young woman standing on the roof of her slum apartment "This.. This I guess will be my way of saying good.." she leaps off her roof, "Hello, Ms." says Clark now in his Superman suit holding onto the young woman. "No matter what happened, it's not worth giving your life up for." says Clark. "It may seem bad now, but in time.. whatever it is will pass, and you'll be able to smile again." the young woman looks teary eyed at the Man of Tomorrow's face "Trust me on that." He flies her towards the skyline "Are you an Angel?" "No, Ma'm." "I'm just a man who's here to help you." He sets her down in the parking lot of Metropolis Hospital, "I'm going to let you off here. You can go inside and get help if you choose or you can turn around and walk away. I can only catch you, I can't choose which path you leap to." He flies away and we see her walk into the Hospital door.
