Heroes. How do you define someone as a hero? Is it how he saves lives or Is it how they fight against evil? No. A Hero is someone so selfless that they would put others before himself not because of the fame and money that comes with it but because he wants to protect those who can't protect themselves. Unfortunately you would hardly find this rare breed and I detest the people who call themselves heroes because of it.

When I was 8 a fire started in the building I lived in. I was scared and alone until my father arrived and saved me from the fire but after he saved me he quickly went in the building again to help save others that were still trapped in the fire but at this time the fire was now raging and spreading so much that you could hardly even see the building itself. Then came a superhero. He put out the fire but I could already tell, my father was no longer here. The hero was praised and glorified while my father was forgotten and no one cared about his sacrifice. I alone mourned my father's death for he was all the family I had.

8 years later, I was now a troubled teenager with hidden powers and a difficult decision to make. Darkseid attacked and is now currently in a battle against the Justice League. Everyone is currently tired and clearly losing the battle. I was still unsure if I should go ahead and help them.

Darkseid: "Do you now see the difference between our powers?" (Sees supergirl on the ground unable to move) "It's time I eliminate you one by one." (fires an omega beam towards supergirl)

Supergirl was now getting scared. She tried moving but was unable to do so.

Superman screams her name out loud "Kara!"

I don't know why I did it but my body just moved on its own. I ran closer to darkseid but not too close where they could all see me, just Darkseid. I used my powers and absorbed the omega beam. Even though I successfully absorbed the beam I still felt the pain that the beam would have caused.

Supergirl saw me and was surprised. She just kept on staring at me speechless.

Darkseid was also clearly surprised and was amused by my actions. He then said "I did not think someone was capable of absorbing my omega beam. I am impressed"

I was still recovering from the pain that the absorption caused me. I looked supergirl in the eye and said "You owe me one" I released the omega beam and shot it towards Darkseid.

Darkseid: "You might cause some problems for me. We will meet again" He then proceeds to teleport and after a matter of seconds he is gone and the beam hits nothing.

Superman and Batman gets up and goes towards the direction where the omega beam came from and then sees me. I quickly turned my back towards them for even though I helped them I still despised them.

Superman was the first one to speak up "Thank you for saving Kara. How did you do that?" I ignored his question

Batman then ask me "Who are you?" I said to him "It does not matter. This is a one time thing, it won't happen again." I proceeded to walk away and vanish into thin air but unbeknownst to me Batman actually placed a tracker on me.

Superman: "Woah, that guy was strong. We will need him to take down Darkseid when he does come back."

Batman: " Agreed, that is why I placed a tracker on him but for now we have to rethink our strategy and plan ahead."

I arrived back in my apartment confused at why I did the things I did. My powers appeared out of nowhere as I grew up and until now I still don't know how I acquired them. I decided it was best to sleep and not think much about it.

(In the Justice League Headquarters)

All of the Justice League founders and some other members were seated at the meeting table.

Aquaman: "Does anyone have an idea who that person is?"

Batman: "He is currently in Gotham"

Green Lantern: "We should recruit him asap. We don't know when Darkseid will strike again."

Batman: "We must first make sure he is actually trustworthy"

Superman: "That is true but you saw what he is capable of. He might be our only option."

Supergirl: "He saved my life. I dont think he would save me if he was not good."

Batman: "I will investigate further but for now we have to rest and recover, dismissed."

(Everyone goes there separate ways)

Superman walks towards Batman and ask him "You know something, what is it?"

Batman: "I don't know, it just feels like I know him from somewhere but I don't know where. Anyways, He is in Gotham High right now so he must be a student. I already have a plan."

(In Gotham High)

It was now lunch time and I sat at the rooftop of the school where no one else goes to. As I was eating my sandwich I felt a presence behind me. I turned around to see batman staring at me. I didn't think batman would find me this fast.

I turned my back towards him and simply said "what do you want?". He replied "the league needs you". I scoffed at him and said "Me? I'm no hero. You got the wrong guy". Batman took a couple of steps closer to me and said "then why did you save supergirl?"

I did not have an answer. I was still unsure why I did something so uncharacteristically. I was selfish and I only cared for myself so why did I do that.

Batman then said "It's because deep down you know you want to help. You want to protect those who can't protect themselves".

As he said that I remembered my father and got angry at Batman. I turned around and told him "I already told you that was a one time thing".

Batman then handed me a ring. Batman told me "Wear that ring. Its allows you to contact the league when you are ready to come in." I then replied by putting the ring in one of my pockets instead and said "Don't count on it".

Batman starts to walk away and as he was almost out of sight he said "you'll be having a visitor later so don't be surprised" and continued walking away. I returned to class quietly and I do not interact with anyone because it might attract some unwanted attention and I certainly like to keep my reputation down.

I was thinking to myself but was distracted when the teacher said that the class was gonna have a transfer student and then suddenly the door opened and came through a cute blonde girl wearing the uniform of our school.

The teacher started to introduce her by saying "Class, this is Kara Danvers". As soon as the teacher said that, the girl then said hi. The class was pretty much mesmerized by her and she just stood there smiling.

I on the other hand remained looking outside the window and that was when she saw me. Her eyes widened and she started to walk towards me. I remained looking outside the window even as she reached my table.

She then proceeded to ask "Hey, what's your name?". I coldly replied with "its none of your business". She frowned as she heard that but still asked the teacher if she could seat next to me. At this point the whole class was looking and watching us which I did not appreciate. The teacher approved the request she made and then she sat next to me.

I continued ignoring her. She shyly looked at me as if she wanted to say something so I said "if you have something to say, say it". I could tell she got embarrassed as her cheeks had a small tinge of pink.

Kara: "I just wanted to thank you for saving me"

I said "it was nothing" and that was when she stood up took my hand and said with a louder voice "No! That was everything except nothing. Darkseid is one of the strongest in the universe and you just absorbed one of his omega beams for me".

She was now squeezing my hand tight but I don't think she noticed this. I then said "No need to shout. I was just trying to stay humble".

She then saw how she was holding my hand then quickly let go but as soon as she did she blushed so much that she looked like a tomato. She sat down again and looked away from me.

After a while she spoke up saying "So are you going to tell me your name?" but still not facing me. I faced her and said "It's Lewis" She then said "it's nice to meet you Lewis". I then said to her "You too, Kara."

She turned to face me and as soon as she did she blushed.

The school bell rung and I quickly grabbed my bag and left the room. I could tell that Kara was following me so I asked her

"Kara, why are you following me?".

Kara: "The reason why I'm here is because I want to convince you to join us."

I stopped walking and said "I'm telling you right now. I have no interest in helping the league. You will only be wasting your time."

Kara: "I won't give up that easily."

I slowly turned my head to the side and said "We'll see about that". I continued my way home.

(In the Justice League Headquarters)

Supergirl has just arrived and is now heading towards her room. As soon as she lays on the bed she then thinks about her current mission which is to recruit Lewis into the league to help take down Darkseid.

Supergirl: 'There must be a reason he acts like this. No matter what it is I'll help him get through it.' ( She falls asleep )
