It had been several days since Si-El and his servant had landed on Earth, and very slowly were they getting used to it. Alois had instructed the two to grab everything they might need, or could use from the ship, and to follow him. He had led them to his "secret base", which was the house that his family used to live in.

The Trancy house was hardly ever used, as the blonde no longer lived there. He instead lived at a nearby orphanage, but would regularly sneak out to perform his "hero duties". The house was relatively clean, since the boy had regularly maintained it. Nearly one-hundred percent of the money earned from odd-jobs he performed went into it's electricity and plumbing bills. It had no heat, since the lad couldn't afford it, but still, he was very proud of this house. Alois figured that someone would no doubt go to investigate the crash, and would no doubt call the police about aliens, therefore he had decided to hide the Kuronians here. It isn't as though he could've brought them to the orphanage with him. Oh no, that would never do. He was already in trouble with the nuns every moment he was there, so he needn't enhance the experience by bringing a couple of aliens.

S'bas Ti-An, or "Sebastian" as Alois liked to call him, was given the various suits that the lad's father liked to wear, as well as any other clothing in the deceased man's closet, while he gave Si-El some of his clothing. While Sebastian seemed content with the garments, Si-El was not. He preferred his black and blue Kuronian suit to these silly-looking rags that these "humans" wore. He was having difficulty adapting to this new world. The technology was inferior, and the culture was weird, even the sky of Earth seemed lacking in comparison to Kuron. He was no doubt, more than just "a bit" homesick. Still, the boy had no home to return to, so he was stuck here on this strange planet.

Si-El, or "Ciel", as the blonde so liked to call him, wandered the old house, trying to occupy himself. He examined the various appliances, trying to decipher their purposes, he observed the world outside the window, watching some strange, small, furry animals with bushy tails run about, sometimes crawling up a tree, and some small winged creatures fly around outside. Eventually that got boring, (and somewhat unsettling) and the bluenette invader walked upstairs and explored the various rooms. He made it to a room, not to big, and not too small in size, with various decorations and pictures on the walls and a small bed.

Various toys and books were scattered across the floor, giving the impression that it has been lived in. Ciel looked at the little trinkets, trying to discover what they were supposed to do or be, the one obvious ones were small figures made to resemble people. He had some of those on his planet. It was somewhat comforting to see that some things were in fact, universal, however, other figures were a bit unsettling, primarily the ones made to resemble the animals of this planet. Ferocious things they were, with fangs and claws, some of them looked as though they were supposed to have fur, others scales, and some he wasn't sure at all, since they had only a somewhat smooth texture to them. Those were the strangest of all, since they didn't have legs, but only fins.

The boy examined the objects for awhile, before looking at another type of item, with pictures and symbols on them. He open it up and there where even more symbols and pictures. Upon further inspection, he realized that they told a story, with each box containing a different pieces of events. He eventually decided that the order went in rows going from left-to-right, starting on the left half of the unfolded object to the right. After having decided this, next he decided to decipher the meaning of the images, as he couldn't read the symbols.

The story started with two parents putting their child in a small spacecraft for whatever reason. Then he turned the page to see an image of the baby's ship flying away from the planet, which was exploding. He turned yet another page to see the ship crash-landing on Earth. What was this weird thing?

"Cool book, huh?" a voice called from behind him, causing the bluenette to jump. Ciel turned around to find the blonde boy standing in the doorway, watching him.

"A 'book'?" the alien echoed, tilting his head, slightly in confusion.

"Yeah. Well, technically, this is a comic-book, but yeah. It's a book." Alois said, walking over and sitting in the floor next to the other boy. "This is The Origin of Superman. It tells how and why Superman became who he is."

"Superman is the child in the 'book', right? The one who's planet..."

"Yeah." the blonde said. "Superheros usually always have some tragedy happen to them. That's why they always fight to make sure it never happens to anyone else." Ciel was able to piece together that a "Superhero" was just a "hero" that was somehow "Super".

"What makes them so super?" he asked.

"Well, most people think it's because most of them have special powers, but some superheroes don't even have any. Like Batman. He's my favourite." Alois continued, crawling over to another stack of books and pulling out an issue of Batman. "He doesn't have any superpowers at all. He just has his utility-belt, his wit, and martial arts." the boy said, pointing at a picture of the Dark Knight.

"So what make him 'super' if he has no special abilities?" Ciel said, turning the page of the Superman book still in his possession. "Superman can punch massive foes without even breaking a sweat!"

"Ah-hah! But Batman and Superman have one thing in common that makes them super! They don't give up, and they always do what they think is right, no matter what! That's what makes them superheros!" the blonde declared excitedly.

Ciel analyzed the two "superheroes" fore several moments before speaking. "Yes, but morality is not that helpful against a foe who can crumble buildings."

"And that is why you need wit, and a utility-belt, my friend."

"But most likely superpowers." he said with a very slight grin.

"Not everyone has those, though! Batman's got Superman beat, there. He can defeat the same villains without powers!"

The alien boy thought for a moment, pondering what humans consider to be "super" powers. He looked at Superman, who could fly, and lift objects several times his size and mass, things that he himself could do with the oxygen of earth, but Batman, who Alois had claimed had no superpowers, could not. Perhaps humans were quite different, as they did not gain such abilities as side-effects when inhaling the gas.

"Perhaps, or you could be completely wrong." he said.

"How would you know?"

"Follow me."

The blonde and the other-worlders ventured back out to the woods where Alois first discovered the strange pair of aliens. Into the woods, they went, for some purpose unknown to the blonde. He didn't particularly like the bluenette's secrecy. Also, they had to walk, and Alois was starting to get tired.

"Why are you dragging me out here?" he whined, stepping over a small puddle of water.

The boy said nothing, and just stopped where he was. "This spot should do nicely." the bluenette said, eying a flat, relatively brush-free clearing. When he started to tense his leg muscles, his servant knew exactly what he was going to do.

"My lord, are you sure this is wise?" Sebastian asked. "Remember the attack you had back on the ship?"

"It should be fine, as long as I remain calm." the boy stated, preparing to get his running start. The blonde however, had no idea what he was talking about.

Ciel ran as fast as he could, building up speed, before jumping. He faltered a bit, but eventually he was floating in mid-air. While he was trying to gain his "footing", the blonde was almost sparkling with excitement at the sight.

"That. Is. AMAZING!" he said, running over to the other boy who was several feet above the ground.

"Ti-An! Help! How do you steer?!" the bluenette boy shouted, this being his first real time "flying". He was almost hanging upside down at this point.

"I'm not entirely sure, my lord. When I did it on the ship, it was sort of a 'spur of the moment' type of thing." the servant said, amused at the boy's failure to stop spinning in the air.

"I dunno, maybe it's like swimming?" the blonde suggested, jumping up and grabbing the boy's foot so he would stop doing unintentional loops in the air, and pulling it.

"I don't know how to swim!"

"You know, you sort of lean then direction you want to go in? Try that." Alois said, releasing the alien's limb.

The bluenette lad tried the other boy's suggestion, and surprisingly, it worked. He leaned right, he'd go right, left to go left, up to go up, and down to go down. After much trial and error, he was starting to get the hang of this. He quite liked the feeling of flying. It made him feel free, like nothing else matters. Maybe being on Earth wasn't so bad if he could possess such an ability.

"COOL!" the Alois shouted. "You are like, a Superhero! We should start our own Justice League! Move over, Justice League of America, 'cause here's the Justice League of Britain!"

While Ciel didn't quite understand what his friend was talking about, he did know he seemed very happy about the bluenette having "Superpowers". On a whim, he hooked the other boy by his underarms, effectively picking him up. While flying without a use of a machine is wonderful, it is only wonderful if you are the one who can fly, being picked up by someone who can fly is not.

Immediately after his feet left the ground, Alois began to feel unnerved. "Put me down!" he said. The fact that there was not safety net or anything was concerning.

"Were you not going on about how 'cool' superheroes are before?" the bluenette teased. "Do not worry, I will not drop you."

"You better not!" the blonde shouted, trying to make his feet reach contact with something, anything, but only kicking air.

"Stop thrashing around, or I really will drop you! Just don't look down!"

"I wonder if this is how Batman feels, being friends with Superman!" Alois had his eyes shut tight. He didn't want to look and see how high up they were.

Just as quickly as it began, the teen's "joyride" was cut short by Sebastian, who can floating up in front of them.

"Pardon me, my lord. But If I remember correctly, we are supposed to be hiding from the government." he said. "I do not believe that this is how exactly one goes about doing this." Sebastian pointed out. Flying around in the very woods close to an alien crash-site that was probably crawling with police and perhaps military personnel.

Reluctantly, the bluenette came back down to Earth, and set the other boy down. Alois collapsed on his hands and knees and hugged the very ground.

"Land! Oh, how I've missed you!" he shouted. Never before had he been so happy to be on solid ground.

"You are such a child." said the bluenette with his arms folded, earning a look from the man in the black suit, reminding him that the boy was just teasing the blonde not even moments ago.

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, and Sebastian felt something hit him, causing the man to turn around in confusion and make eye contact with another, very frightened-looking man, in a blue uniform of some sort with a gun.

"Shit! It's a cop! We need to get out of here!" the blonde shouted to the aliens.

"Stop! I will shoot again!" the officer said, pointing his weapon at the group, not entirely sure who to fire at.

Alois felt his feet leave the comfort of Earth again as the man in the black suit picked him up. "Sir! Let's retreat!" he shouted to his young master, who quickly followed.

The trio flew away, with the blonde cowering, into the sky. "It looks like Captain Bootyshorts is blasting off again!" the blonde cried in a shaky voice as they fled the scene. All the man in blue was able to do was watch, unable to catch what exactly the boy said.

He pulled out his walkie-talkie to call the others who were currently inspecting the crash site. "This is Constable Abberline," he said into the device, "I think I found our aliens..."

Meanwhile, somewhere in the sky, the three where currently escaping the scene. They were quiet for a long while, and the blonde boy was just cowering. Finally, the boy of blue said something.

"Ti-An, are you alright? That human seemed to hit you with his weapon." he said to the man.

"I am alright" the servant replied. "It seems as though his projectile bounced off of me. It does sting a bit, though."

"Then why exactly are we running away? The man cannot hurt us."

"That may be so, but with Earth weaponry, designed for combat against people of Earth, it could harm Alois had one of his projectiles ricocheted."

Finally, the blonde in question forced himself to speak, regardless of their position high above the ground. "That's right. I'm not bullet-proof." he said. "And if we piss off the police, how are we going to make a Justice League?"

"What is a 'Justice League', Al-Ois? I have not the fainest ideas as to what you are talking about." the bluenette said, using his own "nickname" for his friend.

"It's a bunch of Superheroes that fight crime together! It's a League that fights for Justice!" Alois made the mistake of opening his eyes to look in the direction of the other boy. "Augh! We're so high-up!"

"Of course we are high up! I we are not, we could be seen! And why do you want to make a 'League of Justice' so badly? That's ridiculous!"

"Listen, humans know about Superman, and they also know he's an alien, but they love and accept him because they know he's on their side! If we can convince others that you're good too, they have to accept you!"

While the Kuronians were not really that familiar to the mythology of Superman, somehow, they somehow doubted that the blonde's scheme could work. Still, if it did, Earth could become a pretty nice home after all.

A/N: Oh, hey. I didn't see you there... How art thou?

There are so many Superman references in the "Kuronians", in case you haven't already noticed. Not just in the back-story, but also in their abilities, and their names. Superman was born on Krypton as "Kal-El", thus the bluenette's name is "Si-El", as a pun on his actual name, and the naming sense for Ti-An, and Alois' little Kuronian nickname.

Kuron= "Kuro" + "N"

Yeah, that was REALLY clever...

Abberline made an appearance too, whoo-hoo! I want to bring in other characters to be a part of their little "Justice League", too.

*cough* Ginger Shark-face, *cough*

Few OCs in this one, if any at all.

It could be argued that Ciel is more like Batman, but I wanted to be different.

Plus, Superman is my favourite superhero ever.

Sorry, Teen Titans...

I still don't know why I called it "Meanwhile, In An Alternate Universe". Maybe I was playing of the "Meanwhile, in such and such location" boxes you see in comics. Also the "Alternate Universes" thing they like so much. (Superboy Prime is such a dick.)

Maybe every fanfiction is just an alternate universe to the canon series, and every canon series is a universe alternate to our own.

SWEET MERCIFUL MOTHER MARY...

Anyways, until the next chapter of something I wrote, or perhaps in a review somewhere, shall we meet again, my duckies.
