Saturday Morning. 

"Hermes, don't eat too much for breakfast. You're going for a swim and a lot of other activities. You might puke in the pool," Gaius warned his son while feeding his daughter, Artemis. 

Hermes nodded obediently and stopped eating after he felt full enough. He was so excited today because this would be his first time visiting the water park with his family!

Hermes had wanted to go and play with his family for a while, but he knew that his Mom was often injured or too busy taking care of the family, while his Dad was just too busy with work and his double life as Superbman. 

So he was ecstatic when his Mom told them that Dad would come with them as well!

"Mom, I'll ask Dad to play that tall slide with me. I also want to have a swim race with him! I also want to play with that spinning tube!" Hermes listed all things he could imagine, and Gaius nodded. 

"Dad is free all day long. You can ask him to play whatever you want in the water park, okay?" Gaius said. "Go and wake your Dad up. He has been sleeping for too long. He still needs to wash his face and have breakfast."

"Okay!"

Hermes hopped to the Master bedroom, where his parents usually slept together. 

He saw his Dad was in a deep sleep, that he actually snored loudly. He slowly approached his sleeping Dad and shook his shoulder, "Dad… Dad… you need to wake up. Mom said that we'll be late if you keep sleeping."

Clarke kept snoring loudly until Hermes shook him three times, "Dad!"

"Ah… what?" Clarke opened his eyes with difficulty. He squinted when he saw his son. "Why are you here? Where's your Mom?"

"He has prepared everything. Come on, Dad! You promised to go with us to the water park together!" Hermes shook his Dad's shoulder again, demanding him to get ready as soon as possible. 

Clarke tried to remember his promise, then he realized that he promised Gaius and the kids to play with them in the water park. He was so busy every day that he forgot about literally anything but work and saving the city from villains attacks. 

"Get out. I'll wash my face first," Clarke said. He grumbled as he walked to the bathroom.

He washed his face, thinking about what happened nowadays.

The number of attacks in the city skyrocketed, and that wasn't counting the crime of regular people. 

The office also faced some difficulty. It was honestly a hard time for Clarke. He was exhausted, but he didn't want to ruin the mood for his wife and children. 

Clarke stared at the mirror in front of him. As a superhuman, he had no physical exhaustion, and he couldn't get sick. But he wouldn't lie that he was mentally exhausted. He thought he could get crazy anytime soon. 

Clarke patted his cheeks hard as he tried to wake himself, "Come on, Clarke. Your beloved wife really wants you to have fun with the kids! At least try to enjoy the day with them!"

After encouraging himself, Clarke walked to the living room and saw Gaius had already prepared everything. 

"Ah, Husband, I thought you'd sleep even longer. I've prepared breakfast for you, and I've prepared my fruit to replenish your energy," Gaius informed like a good wife. 

The smile on Clarke's lips bloomed whenever he saw his wife. He had to admit that his wife's presence gave him peace. Whenever he saw Gaius, Clarke always knew that he had someone he could call home. 

Because no matter how many times Superbman saved the city or how many times Clarke Gaist made a million-dollar deal in the company, he wouldn't be like this without Gaius on his side. 

Thus, Clarke cheered up, "Okay, I'll eat first, and we can leave soon."

"Hello, Reed? Yeah, we're n the car right now. We'll go soon. Ah, the water park is ready? Thank you so much. The kids will be happy!" Gaius was in a call with Reed as he fastened the seatbelt for Artemis. 

He sat on the front seat beside Clarke, and he started driving. 

Honestly, they could just go in a blink of an eye with Hermes' power. But Hermes and Artemis rarely go anywhere using a car, so it could be a new experience. 

**

The trip to the water park took about thirty minutes. When they arrived at the front gate of 'Sea-Land Adventure Waterpark,' there was already plenty of staff waiting for their arrival.

Reed was right. He really opened the water park solely for the kids to enjoy their time without any disturbance. 

"Wow, I can't believe Reed has this much money," Clarke was also impressed by his brother's wealth. They were both CEOs, but Reed was obviously a lot richer than him. 

"Whoaaa! Mom, Dad, look at that octopus tower!" Hermes excitedly pointed at the giant octopus statue with tentacles that shot waterworks. The water park had a lot of giant attractions that caught the eye of everyone, even those outside of the water park. 

The car stopped in front of Reed, who was wearing a casual shirt and a short. Clarke and his family left the car and approached Reed. 

Hermes was the one who got so excited and hugged Uncle Reed's thigh, "Uncle Reed!"

Reed smiled and ruffled Hermes' hair, "Are you ready to play?"

"Yes! I want to play! I saw that giant octopus. It's so cool!" 

"Reed, thank you for opening this water park for us. I didn't expect that you own this big water park," Clarke thanked and praised his brother.

"It's no problem, brother. I'm happy to help my family," Reed replied with a smile on his face. "Actually, I didn't expect you to have time and play with your family. Since you're always busy every day."

"Hahahaha! That's because my wife has been nagging me to come and play with the kids. I don't want her to nag me even more if I keep refusing!" Clarke replied with a hearty laugh. 

But then, that laugh disappeared when Clarke's phone vibrated, he got a call.
