Chapter 1: Bart returns to Smallville

It's just another day in Smallville, Kansas. School ended today for Christmas break and my parents are out of town. Just hopefully my friends won't want to have another party. It's always a party at the Kent farm when my parents are away. Oh almost forgot, my name is Clark Kent. You're probably thinking I'm just your average farm boy, well that's were your wrong. I'm actually an Alien you crash landed on Smallville when I was little. I also got all of these abilities. I've got super strength, super speed, x- ray vision, heat vision, and super hearing. Nothing can hurt me expect for the meteor rocks or as it's originally called Kryptonite. I've never understand why fragments of my own planet can kill me. Oh well. You're probably thinking having all these abilities are really cool, well they are but it just sucks because I have to keep them for my friends and not being able to do normal things. My parents, especially my dad who found and raised me are kind of over protective when it comes to my powers. It wasn't until my senior year, which is now that I convinced my dad I could play football without killing anyone.

So that's all you need to know. There is so much more but we could be here for 2 years. So anyway I continued chucking the hay on top of the loft. Suddenly when I was about to throw another pile of hay, the hay vanish from my hand. Suddenly I heard a voice behind me say, "looking for this stretch?"

I turned around to see my recently new friend Bart holding my pile of hay. Bart I recently met a month ago he's different as well. Bart has the ability to run super fast. Faster than ME!

Bart dropped the hay and extended his hand, "What's up stretch" I high fived him and said, "Nothing much Flash" Flash is now my official nickname for Bart since he keeps calling me stretch. "Flash, I like it I think it suits me", said Bart with his usual cocky attitude.

"So what brings you back to Smallville Bart", I asked

"Just wanted to see if you wanted to come with me on another road trip."

"Florida again"?

"Nope I was thinking something a little closer to you like metropolis"

"Metropolis? I've been there plenty of times besides we'll be there in less than a second."

"Yeah good point well then you have suggestions jimmy crack corn".

OK I can stand it when people call me Farm boy but jimmy crack corn bothers the hell out of me. I stood there for a moment thinking of cool places to go. Bart snaps me out of my thoughts.

"How about Gotham city", asked Bart.

"Never heard of it"

"Man you really need to get out more. Gotham is like ten times bigger than metropolis"!

"A city bigger than Metropolis now this I got to see it"

"Ok but what about your parents sure there cool with it"

"I'm sure they wouldn't mind besides there out of town".

Bart smirked, "Well rebelling against parents I thought I would of never saw this coming."

He was right usually I never got out have fun and are always be loyal to my parents but this time I figured why not I mean I went to Florida with him. I means ever since my best friend Pete moved I've been dying for some guy time since most of my other friends are girls. Especially guy time with someone who is different just like me.

I smirked, "All right Flash. I'm actually dying for adventure."

"Nice then let's go. I'll try not go to fast, Superman."

Superman? Well it's better than stretch.

"I'll race ya there", I said knowing I was going to lose anyway because Bart is so much faster.

"Your on see ya there Clark!"

And like that he was gone before I could blink. I ran with my super speed right behind him. I love running in super speed with the wind blowing in my face and everything else is slower than me, well expect Bart. He was way in front and I could tell he was not going his usual speed so I could follow him. Three seconds later we were at our destination. Bart beat me, obviously

"Welcome to Gotham city Superman", said Bart.

Bart was right this place was bigger than metropolis. I figured I would be use to the city but something tells me this is going to be a different experience.
