With great power, comes great responsibility

that's a phrase I have been told my whole life, at first I never truly understood the meaning behind those words. 80% of the world had some form of 'great power' so I never truly understood until I finally realized my power was far greater, my strength, speed, and senses surpassed all others even those whose quirks specialized in those areas. I asked my parents if I possessed multiple quirks and my only answer was that it is complicated and because of this, I had to hide my power by being given the label of quirkless the title given to the remaining 20% of the population of the world this led to bullying and abuse all through my school years right up until I left high school two years ago.

While in my last year of high school I decided I wanted to travel the world and see if I can find understanding in who I am and the meaning behind my abnormal powers after I left school and a couple of months before my world journey would begin my parents told me the truth of my existence, that they found me as a baby in some pod that I'm not their son but some alien from some distant world. For a month I was angry at my parents both alien and human, the former abandoned me and the latter deceived me by the time I calmed down I was better and this news gave me more reason to go on my journey as for years I felt this want...this need to go north as if I was being called and that is where my story begins...

"Clark please give me some good news" A girl with blonde hair whined, she stood over a man whose body was half underneath a car.

"Good news I found the problem" The girl began to smile "Bad news it will cost you quite a bit to fix" Clark finished while coming out from under the car giving him a clear view of the depressed girl in front of him. He was 18 years old and stood at a good 6'2 with black hair and blue eyes he reached to the side grabbing a cloth to wipe grease and dirt from his hands once he finished he placed a hand on the girl's shoulder and gently squeezed but before he could do any more a voice called out to him.

"Clark! Get your ass in here, your needed behind the bar!"A man shouted standing at the backdoor leading into a pub, it was a popular stop-off point for truckers during their long hauls. The girl gave Clark a reassuring and grateful smile before she walked off to use the last few minutes of her break.

As Clark walked in and took his place behind the bar he scanned the room seeing only a few customers, after a quick roll of his eyes he busied himself with cleaning down the bar and glasses. An hour had passed when a particularly rowdy group of four truckers walked in a waitress walked up to them and began taking their order when one of them tried getting very touchy seeing this Clark walked over to intervene.

Grabbing the hand that was reaching behind the waitresses back then moving between the men and the lady. the man winced at the tight grip while the waitress looked worried and began backing away.

"Keep your hands to yourself" Clark said with a deep frown on his face in the corner of his eye he caught one of the guy's buddies standing up and grabbing his bottle 'Looks like I'm going to have to find a new job.' he thought to himself as the guy reared his arm back and smashed the bottle over his head Clark simply looked at him completely unfazed.

Still having the first man in his grip Clark simply swung his arm causing him to go crashing into his attacker, one of his other friends stood up and threw a punch at Clark's face only to finish clutching his now broken hand the final guy just remained in his seat looking at his three friends all on the ground he then quickly pulled out his wallet, paid and left. The manager stormed out of his office a few seconds after the fourth guy left only to find three downed men, the waitress, and the slowly closing off the front door with Clark nowhere in sight. Later that evening the waitress would find a large thick envelope in her purse filled with money and a note, the note reading 'follow your dreams.'

Clark for the last two years since he began his journey continued to head north, he still wasn't sure why or what might be waiting for him but what he wanted was answers. to his existence, his purpose. Clark walked and walked and walked and he will continue to walk until he reached his destination, with his powers the way they are he never ran out of stamina whether it be walking or running even in the rare times he used his speed even was never once out of breath. He could use said speed to quickly reach his destination but after years of not using his powers minus a few exceptions it just felt right to walk plus he always enjoyed nature.

After a whole month of walking only stopping to sleep and wash he finally reached a town, a port town specifically, he stood at the end of a harbor pier looking across the vast ocean before him that stretched as far as the eye can see, and his eye can see pretty far.

"I will need to find a boat for passage unless I feel like swimming across an entire ocean," Clarke whispered to himself. Looking around the harbor he could see many docked boats however he doubted few if any would be willing to travel all the way to the north pole "only one way to find out" he said walking off to try and find a ship captain to talk to. After half an hour and several captains later he finally found one willing.

"$10,000 upfront," The captain said he was an old short man but clearly had the look of someone who spends most of his life at sea, Clark at first was blown away by the price and was going to refuse but he doubted he would find another captain willing and it's not like he needed the money.

"Fine ill pay it but straight to the north pole, no diversions" Clark stated firmly earning a nod from the captain, he then reached into his duffle bag and pulled out an envelope then counted out the money, and handed it to the captain. The following morning the boat set sailed on its roughly two-week voyage to the north pole, Clark insisted he helped around the as the crew was short due to some being sick while others weren't able to come as it was a last-minute job he was allowed to help around the boat with various tasks after showing a little of what he could do. The journey passed quicker than Clark thought it would and when he asked the captain why that was he replied with "when your mind is focused on the work time passes quicker" Clark understood that logic as it was the same for when he was back home working on the farm.

When they reached the edge of the north pole all Clark could see was snow and ice a world in a blanket of white, it reminded him of a canvas that his ma would sometimes paint on. Looking back to the captain and crew he gave one final thanks before quickly leaping using some of his strength while making sure not to damage the boat and flung himself into the air before landing safely next to the water edge turning his head he could see some of the awed looks from the crew with his enhanced vision and with a little chuckle to himself he turned and began talking into the white void.

A few hours of walking later Clark could feel the pull getting stronger and deciding to use his speed he shot off to cover the final stretch when he finally stopped he stood before a large mound of snow and ice and a neckless he wore around his neck began to glow slightly, taking it off and holding it in his hand he could feel that it was warm to the touch he could also see a faint glow behind the wall of ice so with a quick throw of a punch the wall shattered showing a circular black metallic door behind it with a keyhole in the same shaper as his neckless.

Clarke just stood there slightly stupified he didn't for a second think he was going to find what could potentially be an alien ship.

"Well, only one way to find out for sure" and with that said he inserted his neckless, and with a gentle hiss the doors opened revealing a dark corridor "please don't have an evil alien on board" Clarke quietly whined to himself before walking in.

The ship was much bigger than he was expecting as he walked through corridor after corridor until he found what looked like where it was piloted from, he guessed. standing before an unpowered console and after pressing a few buttons with no success of power he decided to take a page out of his Pa's book and smacked the console and moments laters all the systems began powering up.

"Huh, I always thought it was crazy to hit things to get them to work, guess Pa was right." He mumbled to himself however even with the power restored he still couldn't make out any of the symbols across the console.

"Actually I rebooted the systems" A voice spoke from behind him causing him to jump and quickly turn, a man stood there with grey hair and beard wearing some kind of robe "Hello Kal-El, my son" the man said with a gentle smile.

Clark was beyond surprised, in front of him was his father, his real father he had so many questions and he was darn well going to get them.

"Y-you are my father?" his answer was a nod "I have so many questions, why did you send me away? Why am I on Earth? What is with my powers?! WHO AM I?!" He got louder and angrier with each question but his father's smile never left his face.

"Well your name is Kal-EL and you are from a planet called Krypton, you were sent away because Krypton was dying and I choose earth because I knew you could do great good here my son as for your powers well..." His father walked over to a different console and a hologram popped up displaying two different suns "A red son, drains the power from a Kryptonian making us only slightly if not equal to humans in strength, this was Krytons sun and the reason why our planet died." Then the red sun disappeared leaving only one left "A yellow sun does the opposite to a red sun, grants us powers lost to us long ago and Earth does not just have any yellow sun but a young one fueled with energy...there is no way of knowing the limit of your power unless you push yourself and find them."

Clark continued to stare at the image of the sun absorbing all this information, he looked at his father and asked the final question on his mind "who are you? other than my father" he finished while sheepishly rubbing his neck, his father smiled once again while looking at Clark.

"My name is Jor-EL and I was the lead scientist for Krypton, We are from the house of EL which was one of the noble houses and well known for being a house of technological advancement for our people." As Clark listened to his father speak he began feeling more lost as the life he lived up until now didn't represent the house of El at all seeing his son's face his father addressed it.

"My son, I have monitored this world since you arrived here and this world is filled with people with various powers, many of those people use those powers for evil. Those who use them for good, the heroes fight this evil on a daily basis but some might say they are losing ground" he then walked over to a pod, and with a wave of his hand the pod opened to reveal a costume of red and blue with a large S on the front "You have a truly great power my son and with this power, you can change this world." He walked up to the costume and placed his hand on the S "This is the symbol of our house, it means hope" He then turned back to Clark "You can become their hope, my son, show them and they will follow." He finished smiling at the look in his son's eyes.

Clark approached the pod and brushed his hand over the S, a look of purpose and determination coming to his eyes.

Moments later Clark exited the ship wearing blue skin tight Kryptonian armor suit with a red S in the middle of his chest and red boots on his feet, a large flowing red cape behind him. he breathed in deep basking in the ways of the sun before walking further away from the ship "test my limits huh" he said while looking into the sky and with a powerful leap he jumped cracking the ground beneath him, he soared through the sky before dropping into the ground again and with one final leap he took of shooting higher and higher and before he knew it he passed the clouds so he raised his arms and balled his fists aiming them directly ahead and he then suddenly began to fall "Oh no...nononono" he said quickly as he fell before hitting a mountain and going through straight into the ground causing a medium-sized crater.

He climbed out of the crater and looked back into the sky before kneeling down placing his clenched fist onto the ground he concentrated all his power before suddenly shooting off into the sky higher than he has ever been before and without even realizing it he broke orbit looking back at the planet below him he was mesmerized watching it slowly rotate, his first thought was to return home and see his parents plus to show them well all he has become in two years since he left but he decided that before doing that he would fly around the world and see how fast he can really go and with that thought he shot off faster than the speed of sound, when entering the atmosphere he let off a sonic boom due to his sense being very high it shook his head as he wasn't prepared and it caused him to stop mid-air.

"Ahh, my ears did not expect that" he shook his head to rid the sound but after doing so he picked up the faint sounds of screaming and crying, looking down he realized he had stopped above Japan then moving his head towards the direction of the sound he quickly came to a decision and went to investigate as he got closer he noticed a sign that read.

'Universal Simulation Joint'

AN: it's not very long I know but I wanted to give this idea a go and the chapters will get longer (hopefully) as I get better at writing, as you may have guessed this is from Man of Steel with it slightly different mainly being the conversations but I felt it was a good way to introduce him to the world as I didn't want to follow the usual he moves to Japan and becomes a UA student or pulled from his own world and made younger. Plus I felt this would help him truly have his goal before him from the get-go.

I'm planning on writing a few different story beginnings for different non-crossover and crossover stories and seeing what sticks with the viewers more, that does not mean I will abandon the others however just a change in priority.

Let me know what you think, Follows and Fav's are appreciated and reviews help a ton so thank you in advance.
