I must say, I'm starting to see the harms of getting a free buff and a gigantic improvement in my powers. The thing is that I'm now having a hard time controlling my powers.
For example, now I'm flying. Before I could very well regulate my speed by manipulating the energy field around me. Now, I'm having a hard time not breaking the sound barrier and ending up drawing too much attention.
Besides, my improved senses are already starting to bother. I can hear the singing of the city birds next door, the car engine being turned on in some corner and also the glass of some random store being broken by some thief.
Ignore the last one, it's not important at all.
Basically, it's like I'm learning to walk again. I know how every process works and all the necessary knowledge, but my body still needs to learn all this again.
I'll need to familiarize myself with my now improved powers, but that doesn't mean I'm complaining about them, in fact I even like to know that I'm stronger. In a place like DC, there is no term "get too strong" because for every extraordinary feat you have, a villain capable of doing 10 times more will appear.
Now that I think about it, I never stopped to better analyze the universe where I am. Apart from some details that I noticed over time, I never did an in-depth research to better understand which variant of the DC universe I am in. I know I'm not in the comics, but that's not enough.
Maybe I should start investigating better the universe where I am. I may even be strong, but there are still beings much more powerful than me out there. Having a better idea of where I am can help me know what I need to worry about. As long as Darkside doesn't invade the earth so soon, then I can rest assured.
Right when I was about to enter through my bedroom window, I felt a hand touch my shoulder and turned my face back a little suspicious, after all I was in the air now.
The vision I had almost made me pale.
Guess who was behind me? The man of steel in person, the superman.
...
Yeah, that won't happen.
Before he even had a chance to say anything, I shot towards the skies at the highest speed I could go.
Now, let's analyze my current situation. I died, I was reborn, I got stronger, I tried to go home and superman appeared behind me.
...
IS THIS SERIOUS PRESENCE!? WHAT THE FUCK DID I DO TO YOU TO DESERVE ALL THIS!?
DID I OFFEND YOU!? I ENTERED HERE WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION!? I USED YOUR NAME IN VAIN!? IF IT'S ANYONE, PLEASE EXCUSE ME!!!
Before I could have another panic attack, I hit something while flying and when I went to look, the superman was standing there in front of me, with that usual bright smile that in my vision looked like the smile of the devil himself.
"I never expected a child to run away from me. Usually they scream and join around me " He said as if it were a joke, but at that moment I couldn't see grace at all.
Not that I was afraid of Superman himself, after all he is one of the coolest and nicest characters in comics, but I'm afraid of the things he brings with him.
The league already exists in this universe and Superman is a well-known member of it, if he sets his eye on me the others will most likely do the same thing.
And seeing that he's right in front of me, I have no doubt that he's already set his eye on me.
"Your name is Adrian, right? I've flown over your school a few times and you're also very easy to recognize " He gave the best cheap explanation he could find to explain why he knew me.
I wasn't born yesterday, John probably told him about me on some occasion. Child's thing, right?
Besides that in part, he's right, I'm very easy to recognize. Being the only child with red eyes and a little yellow skin in my city makes me the very interesting rare animal.
"I think this may seem a little strange to you, but could you come with me to another one? I promise to explain everything on the way " He asked with a kind of worried look, probably wondering what my answer would be.
"... Yes " I just accepted without many turns.
Seeing where this conversation is going, he will probably take me to the league HQ to show me to the other members and try to understand my skills. And refusing now won't change anything, with Batman and all his paranoia he will come to me sooner or later.
And unfortunately, the best option is to meet him earlier to avoid possible problems.
Dude, I shouldn't have left home yesterday...
