-Chapter Seven: Saved For Absolution-
Clark has had enough of Granny’s unbelievably naïve recruiting situations to have little girls turn to her, in hopes that their lives would become more affectionate, as the orphans were just deeply in the road of lowly memory-deletes here. He just glared Granny down hard. “This is the end, Granny Goodness! You and your stupid employ situations for the poorly confused girls who walk among the walls of this ridiculous place, is going to stop… For good!” then he had super-sped to her, and slammed his fist deep into her gut, but didn’t worsen a critical hit point here, but managed enough strength to send her flying, and hitting the wall behind her so hard, it permanently had knocked her out, as she landed on the ground, as the collision had succeeded in ridding her, at last. But he gazed over to Audra and Celeste, and had sternly spoke to them, “Both of you girls will be re-located to Belle Reeve. There, you both will see the wrongs of your actions, and hopefully obtain reasonable lives here.” Audra and Celeste just groaned with deep annoyance here.
Then Clark heard the little whimper behind him, and turned around steadily, and saw Tori, on the ground, turning all over in intensity of throe here. His eyes reverted back to those worried ones, as he went over to her in an instant, and knelt down, and lightly touched her arm, and then massaged her back. “Hey…” Tori just allowed more terrified tears to stroll down her cheeks here. Clark just lightly nudged her again. “Hey, it’s gonna be okay. I’m getting you out of here, and I will bring you back to place that doesn’t entail punishing like circumstances. Tori just whimpered again, as Clark just had to softly knead her hair, and then gently picked her up, and gazed at the now, and deserved lifeless body of Granny Goodness, then to the two teens who earned themselves a good stay at Belle Reeve, then super-sped away from the chambers here…
--Meanwhile, as she is pacing around, aimlessly…--
Tess just sighed, and her patience was wearing thinner here. In a way, she had thought that Clark just rejected her, and just about turned around to take wing to walk out of the orphanage, till Clark had super-sped, right in front of her, and she was startled of this action. “Whoa. Okay, Kent? You know you ought to…” then had seen what, or rather ‘who’ was resting, in deep exhaustion in Clark’s careful hold. Tess had to gaze at the teen brunette here, and examined her, all over, seeing all the markings, and the beatings here, her eyebrows raising higher to the point of concerns here. “Oh my god…!” Clark had to nod his head, “And you can guess what the old one, told two rebellious ones to put upon this poor girl!” Tess just sighed. But she had to ask, “What about the other two?” Clark just informed her, “No worries, they just got told that they have two cells waiting for them in Belle Reeve.”
Tess was actually, glad that Clark had thought up the sentence to Belle Reeve here for those two inconsiderate teens. “Well, that makes me happy at least. But, what about Granny Goodness?” Clark just assured her, “Don’t worry. She got a taste of my fury here. She’s out, like a bad light bulb in that shack!” Tess’ eyebrows grew higher here, with interest. “You mean, you finally killed her?” Clark had to nod, as he lightly just clung onto Tori’s badly injured body here. “Yes, she’s dead, at last…” Tess felt a rather gleeful smile form upon her lips. Her pristine white smile showing. “Good for you, Clark!” Clark had to grin a semi one back at Tess. “Thanks, sweetie…” then he felt the vibrates of the whimpers against his arms, signifying him and even Tess also, about Tori’s physical well-being. “Oh, hey… Hey!” Tess just put her gazes back to the teen, and leaned in to lightly caress her hair, and promised her, “Hey, don’t worry, hon. We’re going to get you out of here, as pronto as probable. But if you can, if you can just use two words for now, and then preserve the rest of your breath later… What’s your name?” Tori was able to breath them out, despite her lungs being panged by exhausting cries. “Tori Lexington…” then whimpered again.
Clark had to lightly shake her a bit, and told her, in a gentle most caring matter here, “Well then, Tori Lexington. You will be coming back with me and my great friend here. I’m Clark Kent, and she’s…” Tori though remembered seeing Tess’ portrait before, and with the last ounce of her torn breath for now, had said, “Tess…”
Tess just staggered backwards here, but she resisted any attempt to emotionally put upon any annoyance here. She stepped back, and said softly, “Well, don’t worry there, Miss Tori Lexington… You will be brought back to a place that gives out the real definitions of love there. Just hang in there, okay sweetheart?” Clark had to nod at Tess’ positive encouragements here. “Yes, you hang in there. We’ll get your life back on the right road here for you…” Tori just whimpered again, as she was being carefully led out of the orphanage, with Clark and Tess in tow…
