Black.

That's the thing I remembered after I was watching an episode of Supergirl on my laptop. I guess I overslept. And then the next thing I knew was headache. 'Damn, I'd never stay up late again.' At least that's what I thought. The next moment, I felt an earthquake. So hard that made me snap out of my stuppor instantly. And then a rush wave of memories were absorbed into my brain.

"Ken! We must hurry. Krypton won't last any moment now. You must get into the pod!"

I looked to the source of the noise near me. Someone called a name, and I got a feeling that was intended for me – as long as I remembered, my name wasn't Ken. I processed the view in front of me. I saw a man's face, a face that I didn't recognize and I'd never seen before, but somehow he felt really familiar with me. According the memories that I got, he was my FATHER.

Another person approached me. A woman this time – from the memories, she was my mother. What the hell was happening? I knew my parents very well. And their appearance weren't like them at all. Oh my God, what happened to me?

I tried to calm my nerves down by breathing heavily, and then slowly until I got my bearing. I processed everything in my head – to my surprise, according to the memories, I was a kind of genius of science and a general of the army. I skimmed through the memories, and found what I need.

Okay, my name is Ken-El from the House of El, son of Kye-El and Laura Ros-Ker, cousin of KAL-EL and KARA ZOR-EL. The Superman and Supergirl themselves. I am 30 years old apparently, and a Kryptonian. Apparently I am also a scientist like my father – a good one – and I am a general of the Kryptonian Army – unlike Zod. Damn, that earthquake I felt before only mean one thing. Krypton's gonna explode if any indications had been given.

I got up from my position and nodded to my parents before we continued to the pod chamber where I would get into the pod to be sent to Earth along my two future-superhero-would-be cousins.

A few hours later

After my 'father' and I finished preparing everything, including a crystal full of Krypton's latest techs for me to set up on Earth to help me surviving, we said goodbyes to each other by hugging for a few moments and let go. I also saw Jor-El and Zor-El nearby, also Kara. Kal already sent off.

"Know this, Ken, you'll be Krypton's greatest legacy along with your cousin's. We know you'd do us proud," said my father, Kye. Eventhough he wasn't really my father, his words really struck pain in my heart when I heard him saying that.

"Don't worry, Father, also Mother, I will definitely make you proud," I answered back with confidence. My mother then said her piece of advice for me, including to take care of myself and my cousins because I was the only adults from the would be survivor.

I walked towards Kara to assured her that everything's gonna be okay eventhough I knew verywell that she would end up in the Phantom Zone for a long years to come.

Then, Kara and I got into our respectives pods and we took off to the sky, leaving Krypton to its impending doom – eventhough Argo City would survive and Alura still alive. Me and Kara managed to get out of Krypton in time, but not in time to avoid the explosion wave.

Like in the series, Kara's pod got knocked off course to the Phantom Zone and there's nothing I could do to help. And I thought I was safe and would be able to take care of Kal on Earth. Oh how wrong I was. It seemed like fate had another thing in store for me as another portal, with an even stronger gravity pull than the Phantom Zone, appeared so suddenly and sucked me in. I realized this whole 'transported into a whole new world', I was a 30 years old man with experience as scientist and general, also my knowledge of the whole Superman story, would be enough to survive. But, the only story which sent Kal AND Kara to Earth on the same time was Supergirl series, which took place in the Arrowverse. Well, I HAD to screw up the whole story. Damn it all to hell with consequences.

And then I was inside of somekind of a dimension where lightning dominated the whole place. And a stray lightning hit my pod . The electricity ran through my whole body as I screamed in pain. The next thing I knew, black was everywhere as I went unconcious.

"Wake up, lad," a voice made its way to my ears. Still having a sort of tipsy, a lightning then stroke me sucessfully waking me up.

"ARGH! WHAT THE FUCK?! WHO ARE YOU?!" I cursed whoever did that to me, only to saw and old man in his late forties it seemed.

"Stay vigilant. How interesting is it to know that you're sent to a different world from your own, Ken-El? I mean not different PLANET, but a whole new different WORLD, where everything you believe was a full fiction proved to be very real?" that man asked me a question I thought would never be asked in this world. He knew I wasn't from this... world.

I smiled at what he just asked. "So, someone know the truth. Before you introduce yourself, let me guess. This is the Speed Force, and you are the embodiment of it, am I wrong?"

The old man couldn't hold his mirth when he heard what I said. " Ahh, that was gold. I never thought you'd know the Speed Force. The Random Omnipotent Being really knows how to have fun, by sending someone random to a different world."

"Of course I know. All the lightning force field, a whole lightning on place, and the lightning stroke me? Those kinda gave away everything and scream 'Speed Force'."

"Straight to the point I see. We chose you, Ken-El. So I guess I'll help you survive in this world by training you in the way of the 'Speed Force'," that old man smirked while he said that line. It was like Yoda saying some Jedi things about 'the way of the Force' and it creeped me out.

"What do I call you? I can't keep calling you Speed Force, it is too much of a hassle."

"Call me Henry. Now, the training will begin immediately. In here, I can make the atmosphere similar to that of Krypton, you won't feel hunger or thirst, and I'll make the training to be hell, even Lucifer himself would be forced to vacant the throne."

I smirked at all the plans he got for me. Training me without my Kryptonian powers would make me get used to the pain. "Bring it on, Henry! I can't wait!"

30 years later

Countless time had passed since my first time training in 'the way of Speed Force'. I had become stronger than ever before. At this point, I was able to do a lot of things with the Speed Force powers. A skillsets that I called the Speed Force Manipulation. I could make a lightning blade in my hands (I watched enough Naruto to imagine a whole arsenal of Raiton), steal kinetic energy from objects and made it my own, using Flashtime like Barry Allen did on the show, time travel, dimension hopping, and run on air itself – basically I could fly without Kryptonian powers.

And the most interesting fact was my speed. My top speed was at Mach 25. I trained my body so I could handle the strain it costed me if I run that fast. If I didn't, it could burn me to death – Kryptonian or not. Because of that, I was the FASTEST Man alive. But I couldn't take all the credits because of my efforts alone. I had a great teacher in Henry. Other speedsters didn't have mentor like I had.

"Henry, what else you got to teach me?" I asked Henry who I just beat in our spar.

Henry got up from his lying position to face me. "Honestly, you want more training? It already has been 30 years of training, lad- "

"What?" I cut him off before he finished his sentence. 30 years had passed and I never noticed. "30 years? 30 YEARS?! So basically you got nothing to teach me anymore?"

"Yeah damn right, lad. You know what, since this is your sub concious, you can always go back to the real world anytime," well now I was pissed. Literally.

After 30 damn years and he just told me that I could get out anytime.

"What the hell, dude?!" and then I punched him across the jaw and strangled him with my strength.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, lad. You completed it 10 years ago actually. And the last thing I taught you was subduing the timeline and the Time Wraith. You can go now," Henry's words made my blood boil. Not only he didn't tell me that I had completed my training some times ago, but this actually was my own mindscape.

"How do I get out?"

"Concentrate and will yourself back to the real world. And goodbye, Ken-El. It was an honor to be able to teach you."

I nodded at him and smiled. "Thank you, Henry." And the next thing, I was back on the pod. And a portal opened itself to revealed the space, and planet Saturn nearby. It seemed I already arrived at the Milky Way.

"Well that was fun," now that was weird.

My voice was just gotten an octave higher than it was. And I looked to my hands and other bodyparts.

Then I realized that my cloth was bigger than I felt how it was. A realization hit me that made me widening my eyes.

'I am a KID again? How?' I was in the Speed Force, for 30 years no less. And I remembered the Speed Force power to travel through time.

Damn, during my time in Speed Force, somehow it made my body reverted back to a child again. But thank God my brain wasn't. I still had my memories of Ken-El's live before and my life before coming to this world.

I released a sigh. "Kelex, please make my wardrobe in my size. I think I am a kid again. 11 year old kid."

"At once, sir."

No longer than 5 seconds, my cloth fit in my size. Oh how I loved my own creation piece of tech. Then I set my course for Earth. I increased my pod's speed so I could arrive sooner on Earth.

A few hours later

I entered the atmosphere of Earth and headed to North Pole immediately to find the Fortress of Solitude that Kal probably had built when he became Superman and after that maybe visit him and Kara.

I landed my pod on the frozen vast land, and pulled out a device to detect Kryptonian tech nearby.

"Kelex, any sign of Kryptonian tech nearby?"

"Scanning..."

I waited for a moment and then...

"Negative, there are no Kryptonian tech anywhere it seems, sir."

Weird. Kal should've built the Fortress by now, unless... I was in a completely different Earth. I wasn't in Earth-38. Fast as a lightning, I shot my heat vision to the ground to make a hole deep enough til it reached the water below, and used my power of the Mystic Art from Krypton ancient knowledge, the power that Rao, the man whose name we Kryptonian use for our sun in our solar system, to shape the land clean.

And then I put the crystal full of Krypton's techs to the hole, and step back far enough. The reaction was instant. Crystals rose from the ground and kept rising to a certain height and very wide. Then I shaped the land once more to camouflage the Fortress of Solitude of my own from prying eyes.

Before I got inside to the Fortress, I faced my body towards the rising sun in the Arctic, to feel the yellow sun radiation. Absorbing its powers into my cells, and felt it running through my body. I felt so strong, and it felt right. I wonder if that was what Kara and Kal felt when they absorbed the sun's radiation.

I concentrated my mind to focus on flying. Thankfully, all those 30 years in Speed Force helped me concentrate very well. And then I felt my feet not touching the ground anymore.

I was flying. "WOHOOOO!"

I was never so happy before. I flew. Just like my childhood dream. I wanted to be like Superman who could fly. Now, it's a reality.

After flying for several minutes, I landed and dragged my ship inside the Fortress. Inside the Fortress, there were 2 statues. Big statues of my parents holding a globe, just like the one Kal's built. I smiled at that memory.

I took out a rod-like thing from my pod and insert it to the 'main computer' to connect the A.I of my parents to the Fortress.

"Hello, Ken-El. What a surprise to see you as a child again," the words that came out of a woman's mouth that I knew so well as my mother. She appeared along with my father's A.I.

"Indeed it is, mother, father. I have an interesting story to tell you guys."

After explaining everything to my A.I parents about the Speed Force, they began setting up the whole Fortress to be operational and activate the robot in which Kelex would control to assisted me. And I explored everything in the Fortress. And I discovered that Kelex could turn into a watch of some sorts. That just made everything easier.

"Kelex, could you connect to every sattelites on Earth so the Fortress could be connected to the world outside, mainly the internet," I said to Kelex.

"Of course, sir. Wait a moment. It's done."

Now, what should I do first? Creating a background and false identity for me? Now while it could come in handy if I was an adult. Right now, I was only an eleven year old boy with no guardian. It would only rise suspicions.

And my only option was training, and researching. Yeah that would do just fine and I needed to adapt to Earth's atmosphere and my control my Kryptonian powers so I could use them.
