Smallville, Kansas 1989

It was a normal sunny day in Smallville. Jonathan and Martha Kent were coming home from a day at the town through the road in between two cornfields, when they saw a ball of fire coming from the sky.

"Jonathan look, watch out!"

Jonathan swerved his truck to the right, making whatever came at them miss. Jonathan and Martha, after getting rid of their shock, got out of the truck to see what it was that fell from the sky. After getting to the road on foot they saw something crashed on the other side of the road.

"Was that a plane, Jonathan?"

"I'm not sure Martha, whatever it was made a mess of Riley's cornfield."

"Oh my god, Jonathan look!"

Jonathan turned his eyes where his wife was pointing and saw some sort of metallic hunk in a crater. It's surface was still glossy, and it didn't seem to be deformed, despite its rough landing. Jonathan had never seen anything that looked like it, it didn't look anything like a plane or a satellite.

'Could be some kind of military experiment, maybe even by the soviets.'

Jonathan grabbed his wife's hand to stop her from going any closer, when suddenly the top of the thing opened.

"Martha, watch out!"

Jonathan dived down, pushing his wife down under him, to shield her from whatever that thing was. After a while of nothing happening Jonathan stood up cautiously, brushing his clothes and offering his wife, who was still on the ground a hand. With some time going and Martha not taking his hand, Jonathan looked towards her and saw she had her mouth open and a shocked expression on her face.

"Martha, wha…?"

"Jonathan turn around, you're not going to believe this!"

Jonathan turned back to the crash site, and saw that inside the metal contraption was a female toddler, naked, wrapped in a quilt with a strange symbol. While they were both looking at her, the toddler opened its blue eyes and stared back at them.

"What in god's name!?"

Martha stood up and hurried towards the child, taking her in her arms cradling her.

"It's okay, ssshh, it's okay."

"Martha, we have to call someone."

"Call who? She fell out of the sky!"

"I don't know, but we can't just take her, she must have parents."

"Parents? The kind who put her in a flying piece of metal and dropped her out of the sky!"

"We should at least call the authorities, I'm sure they can figure out what to do."

"Jonathan look at that thing she came flying in, sure as hell doesn't look anything that's man made!"

Jonathan observed the flying device, noticing its sleek and futuristic design and unmistakably alien symbols adorning its insides. He turned to look at his wife cooing at the presumably otherworldly toddler, who started giggling and sighed.

'I know we have tried having kids unsuccessfully for a long time, but I didn't know she would literally take the first child that fell from the sky as her own.'

Jonathan looked at the sky wondering where she come from. Is there anyone looking for her? and most importantly, if there was, could Martha give her away…

Martha sat in the passenger seat of their truck, the toddler in her lap, listening to the sounds of the spaceship creaking against the flatbed of the truck that Jonathan was putting it on. Looking at the child in her arms, and its innocent blue eyes Martha felt her mothering instincts taking over.

'I don't know where you came from, but you crashing into our lives must be destiny, I'm sure of it.'

Finished with putting the spaceship onto his truck and covering it with a tarp, Jonathan sat on the driver's seat and looked at this scene of a mother and daughter.

'I guess this is it, no turning back now.'

Jonathan turned to stare at the sky in thought, when he saw many balls of fire, similar to before all over the sky, far in the distance.

"Martha, you don't think her whole family is coming, do you?"

Martha took her eyes from the child and looked in the direction Jonathan pointed, with a mixture of fear and awe in her eyes.

"Jonathan drive! I don't think those are spaceships, that looks like a meteor shower!"

Jonathan stepped on the pedal, trying to outrun the literal sky fall of meteorites on the way to their farm. Jonathan and Martha watched out of their windows as the meteorites impacted all around Smallville, and prayed to whatever god was out there to let them arrive home safe.

Fifteen minutes or so later of driving above the legal speed, they miraculously made it home safe. Jonathan drove his old flatbed next to their storm cellar where they hid quickly, with Martha carrying the now crying toddler.

"Shh, mama and papa's gonna protect you."

After half an hour of not hearing anything Jonathan looked outside and gave his wife the okay signal, they climbed out of the cellar and witnessed the aftermath of the destruction. There were craters as far as the eye can see, their crops were destroyed, though thankfully their home and barn were left standing. Jonathan and Martha looked at each other and then at the child in her arms, thinking about the suspicious timing of the arrival of the toddler from the sky and the meteors afterwards.
