Chapter 37 / Superman
A/N For anybody who doesn't like Kara as a guy things will turn back at chapter 50. Chapter 50 will be posted on April, 6th.
Watching your child for hours is awful. But he is awake! And smiles and things like that! So everything is good... Lena and I don't know what to do about Rhea but right now we are just playing with our little man inside the D.K.A. waiting for him to be discharged.
Having him around is just perfect... a gift from Rao... so maybe I should do something in return? The Luthor Children Hospital? And maybe just walking around? Making people their day better? Because sometimes it is like I have a god-complex. Something that is the worst thing you can get by being a 'super' alter ego.
Yes, yes I will make contact with humans today. Humans sounds so... bad. So I will just make contact with people. Maybe there are aliens... I am rambling inside my head... wow. That's a first... or second? I can't remember.
"Hey, isn't it an idea for me to walk outside in National City once Lucas is discharged?" Lena looks confused at me with some hint of disappointment "How about tomorrow?" I quickly say, she nods and smiles a little... I forgot she needs me and might have a breakdown later... since seeing your kid in pain... that is the worst thing possible.
Luckily for me the next day came fast... merely minutes later Lucas was discharged. Lena and I decided it was smart to move him to our room so we can keep an eye on him. Sleep came fast so got luck on my side again.
Around noon I decided it was time to be Superman and do the things to make people their day. So I changed into my normal suit and went to the children hospital. I got greeted by many people which was fun. I made many children happy, some of them didn't believe me at first, but overall I think I succeeded there. I even went to see Zeke and Luke who now had a mechanic arm. It was quite funny to build a tower again.
Now I am just walking around National City. Sometimes I get recognised and sometimes I don't. I look up and see a woman walking towards me dragging her child with her. The child smiles when he sees me and yanks his arm away from the woman and runs towards me. He hugs my leg and I laugh. I squat towards his level and envelop him in a hug. I whisper in his ear "Eager to see me?" "No, no. My aunt isn't the nicest... so I taught asking the invulnerable man for help is the best way." I lower my voice even more and asks "What is your name?"
"Micheal" I nod a little "And why isn't your aunt nice?" I feel my supersuit getting wet while he explains "She is my guardian... and she just doesn't want me... my parents died a couple years ago." I sigh and say "That isn't good to hear. My parents also died when I was young. But I can tell you things will get better." I let go of the boy and stand up. The woman looks a bit frightened to me "Is there something wrong miss?" She quickly shakes her head. I grab my wallet from a side pocket, I give Michael a Benjamin and say "Go buy something for yourself." He nods and thanks me. I say goodbye and we part our ways.
Some time later I hear somebody call my name "Superman!" I turn around and see a guy running towards me. With a magazine and sharpie in his hand. I chuckle and ask "A signature?" He nods breathless "Name?" "Phil" I nod and accept the magazine and sharpie and quickly sign "For Phil" and my signature. Not my real one of course. Just Superman in cursive and my crest on it. I give everything back and look at him. He is wearing a Superman T-shirt so I comment "Nice shirt! So how did you know it was me?" He chuckles and says "You are all over the news. Everybody has it about Superman walking the streets of National City. I got lucky and saw you." I nod and smile. "Good to hear, but I have to get further. It was nice meeting you Phil!" "You too Superman!" And with that I take off again.
It is quite funny/nice doing this. Just walking and meeting people. Suddenly I get stopped... and stopped... and stopped. It almost never stops, but I like it. Now I hear an old lady calling for me. I walk towards her and politely ask "What can I do for you, miss?" She smiles brightly and asks "My daughter is in the hospital but she is a fan of your work. So could you please sign this?" I look at her and chuckle "What is your name?" "Pamela." I nod and sign her name and not her daughters. "Why did you do the signature for me? I had hoped you would do it for my daughter." She looks to the ground which I respond to "Which hospital?" She looks up and says "Luthor East Hospital" I smile "Room and section?" "236 section D" I nod and say "Goodbye miss! I need to meet your daughter!" And with that I take of towards the sky. I quickly make it to the hospital and without many problems I am at her room. I knock on the door and hear a faint "Yes?"
I open the door and walk inside, she looks shocked "Your mother wanted a signature for you. But meeting you in person is way better, isn't it." She is probably too shocked so she just nods with her mouth still open. "So what is your name?" She shakes her head and says "Hannah." I smile and politely say "It is nice to meet you Hannah. Do you have something that I can sign? I got this sharpie some time ago from I young boy." She nods and holds up a book about... me? The Luthor Family? Okay... cool? I quickly sign it but this time with 'Hope you get better soon!'
We talk a couple minutes and after that I go home. Where a very jealous wife is waiting for my return.
