It was an ordinary afternoon in the Neutron Household, Jimmy was finishing up his latest invention, the Shrink Ray. Goddard sits on the bed and watches Jimmy complete his latest achievement.
"Alright." Jimmy turned to face Goddard as he smirked, showing his Shrink Ray. It basically looked like a TV remote with an antennae. "After all those weeks, the Shrink Ray is completed!"
Goddard barked in agreement.
"I couldn't agree anymore, my Robotic Canine friend." Jimmy said. "Cindy is going to flip her lid once she sees this!"
Jimmy headed out of the room and headed downstairs, only to hear stifled and quiet sobs. Much to her confusion. They came from his mother, and Jimmy is confused, she was just fine earlier but what's the matter now?
Jimmy looked in the living room and saw his father comfort his crying mother as they were watching TV.
"Mom? Dad? What's the matter?" Jimmy asks. He turned to see what it was. It was a TV News live broadcast, but that wasn't what made his blood run cold, it was the topic of the broadcast, about a few minutes ago, a massive killing beast named Doomsday was rampaging across the country, critically injuring most of the Justice League, Z-Fighters and Avengers, with only one super hero giving everything to save the world from this rampaging monster, even making the ultimate sacrifice to save everyone at a cost: His life. For some people, news like that would shock everyone, but for Jimmy, it was heartbreaking due to who the hero was.
It was the Man of Steel himself, Superman.
Anything could have happened, the entire house could have collapsed right on top of them, one of Jimmy's experiments could have blown up right at that moment and maybe killed them all, It could better than this, hearing that Superman died, saving the world. Jimmy had a reaction, he shook his head in shock, not wanting to believe this as tears streamed down his face as he dropped his shrink ray. He backed away slowly and collapsed to the ground, he was starting to hyperventilate. and was beginning to cry.
He couldn't believe it, Superman, his idol and hero, is gone.
Author's Note: Next Chapter, Cindy and Jimmy's friends try to comfort him, but they instead learn about why Jimmy looks up to Superman.
