Chapter 1

Chris

Let's cut to the chase I'm Chris and I'm ten. I'm Clark Kent and Lois Lane's kid. Of course my mom was to stubborn to change her name so it's still Lois Lane, Daily Planet, as she introduces herself to everyone. I just woke up. I put on my robot slippers. And I went to have breakfast but that was not what dad was thinking. He thought I should take out the trash, get the news off the porch, and all this in my alien pajamas. Of course I would do this with my super speed. Of course it was raining. So I put on my rain coat. I zoomed out and got the news; I got the trash, and put it on the curb. I spilled a lot. I picked it all up, put it in the cans. I go inside and sigh my robot slippers were soaking. I am going to kill dad. I run as fast as I can to get dad. I yell, "You wet my slippers!"

He asks, "What?"

"You made me go outside in the rain!" I scream. He sighs.

"I'll get you new ones tomorrow." So, then my day gets worse I eat a new kind of breakfast this morning and let me tell you don't eat superman cereal! After breakfast I tell mom I didn't like the cereal. She just tells me to stop complaining and do my chores. First I get changed and then I do my chores. It starts to get easy using the hammer so I just use my hands. The rain cleared up so I go outside to ride my bike around. I ride around and tried to forget about slippers. I come home and it's time for lunch. Mom says I should have patience and sit at the table. I however don't have the patience. So I sit down on the couch and watch TV I turn down the volume so she doesn't hear. When I heard the toaster ding I shut off the TV and run to the table. I almost forgot she told me to set the table. I zoom to set the table and I do so just in time. Mom came out with corn on the cob, hot dogs, and chicken. "Where is Dad?" I asked she told me to listen to her next time and sit at the table or I would get punished. Not that I cared but I said ok and I asked again "Where is dad?"

She responded "Saving someone, writing a story, doing his normal routine."

There was a slight pause and all I could hear was mom eating her corn. Then she asked, "Where were you?"

"I was riding my bike" I responded.

Dad came back and he ate his lunch too. When we were done I asked for dessert and had my puppy dog face on. Dad laughed as he said "It never gets old."

"It doesn't work on me and no." Mom said.

"Ok," I said and left to shoot hoops. I missed and missed and missed. Finally I made a box shot. Yes, I made a box shot. So I get mad and came in. I go upstairs and reread a book about a young boy on an adventure. I have read this book so many times it got annoying. I came down and asked if I could have a snack. Mom said "No," not that I'm surprised. It's five o'clock. I'm tired. I go to play Star Wars the video game for a long time. I beat the game. I just remembered tomorrow is my birthday. How could I forget the day I was born? It's getting late and I need sleep, bad. Or I would die. That night, before I went to sleep Dad told me a story. He said "September first, tomorrow, I was in high school and I sat on a highway side and Lex hit me and I saved him even though I told everyone that he just missed and I jumped in and saved him, I didn't."

I thank him for telling me the story. He tells me good night and I fall asleep FAST! The next day is my birthday I am not proud to be born the same date my dad met his enemy. I eat breakfast, do my chores, and I ride out on my bicycle. I went to look at the place Dad got ran over and they repaired it, so it is fixed. I sit down and I do this without my parents knowing I'm impressed with myself. I saw some cars pass then a cool black one that an older guy was driving. This guy's like forty. That was strange he looked a lot like Lex. It zoomed fast which was odd for older people. He looks like he's turning toward me. It happens, he crashes. I bring him to shore and save him. I saved someone. YES! Wait it was him, it is Lex.
