Kara sat in her room as she continued to happily watch the tv. When word of her cousin got to Kara. She made sure to rush home from school. Seeing Kal become what he was destined to be, made her feel illustrious.
"A reminder of our top story. The Metropolis Theatre was today saved by an unknown being, who calls himself 'the Superman'. It is unknown at this point who the man is or where he came from. However one things for certain, he's here to help." Kara turned off the television. She stared out the window, watching as the world went by. The Kryptonian had only been on this planet for just over a year and a half. Yet it felt more of a home than Frieza's ships ever did. This planet was now under the protection of the superman. And he wouldn't be alone. Kara rushed towards her phone dialling the one person she could always rely on.
"Hello?" Gohan answered.
"Gohan, its Kara. Do you think Bulma would let us borrow the dragon radar?" She asked.
"I don't see why not. Do you need a wish granted?"
"Yeah meet me outside Capsule Corp at seven."
"Wait a second. Your seven or mine? Timezones can be confusing."
"Just meet me there in ten minutes." Kara hung up, a little agitated. The former Ginyu force member ran downstairs. "Mrs Kent, is it alright if I go around Gohan's house?"
"Of course dear, just be back for supper." Martha replied. To say thanks, Kara kissed her on the cheek. The Kryptonian raced outside a room flew off. Her wish would soon be granted.
Lois typed away on her work computer. The lights of metropolis shined through every window. Illuminating the daily planet's office. It had been a very long day, however Lois was determined to get this article right. The first rule of reporting was always don't let a story get too personal. However in this instance she couldn't help it. This was the article she had always hoped for. As the Pulitzer winner continued to type, Perry entered the room.
"Lane, you still here?" He questioned his top employee.
"I'm nearly done, just needs a little tweaking." She responded.
"Listen Lois, if you insist on continuing with this, at least take a break. And that's not a request!" Lois sighed as she reluctantly agreed. Taking it easy wasn't one of her strengths. Yet she complied if it would get Perry off her back. The Daily Planet's best, made her way up. Stepping out onto the roof, a breeze almost swept Lois off her feet. The temperature had plummeted since her last cigarette. Lois was about to use her lighter. Until she noticed a man hovering above her. The cigarette fell and landed on the floor. The reporter was lost for words. Standing in front of her was Superman.
"Hello again Miss Lane." He said, smiling. Lois could only stutter as he started to look slightly concerned. "Is everything alright?"
"Yes of course. What... What are you doing here?" Lois responded, gaining her composure.
"Well, I'm here for an interview." Lois was certainly stunned by this answer. "I want the people of metropolis to have complete trust in me. For that I need to be completely honest."
"Very well." Lois eagerly took out a notepad and pen from her purse. "So first question. What is your name?"
"Superman" The man of steel smiled as he noticed his interviewer had a dirty look. "I can't reveal my real name."
"Completely honest?"
"You surely must understand that I can't reveal my identity. It would put those I love at risk." Clark noticed his counterpart jotted something in her notepad.
"What are you?"
"Well that's a little complicated. You see, I am not technically from this planet." Lois almost choked when she heard that. "I'm from a planet called Krypton. My father sent me away as a baby..." Clark stopped as a tear rolled down his left cheek. Reliving the past was always traumatising. "He knew that the planet was about to be destroyed."
"I'm sorry."
"I try not to think about it. I've lived on this planet my entire life. As far as anyone is concerned, I'm human." Again Lois added in some notes.
"So why are you here? What do you get out of helping people?"
"To answer your first question. I'm here to fight for truth, justice and freedom. As for your second question... Let's just say that it was how my parents raised me." As the night took over. Lois onslaught of questions continued. Eventually though she reached her conclusion.
"So final question, do you have a girlfriend?" Clark couldn't help but blush. He certainly wasn't prepared for that kind of question.
"Well... I um. No, I am not currently in a relationship." He never once even thought about having a relationship. However when he stared into Lois eyes, something happened. The Kryptonian's whole body tensed up, his stomach twisted. This was a whole new experience. "Thank you for having me Miss Lane."
"Anytime." Lois herself now blushed. Clark though was distracted by her heartbeat. Ever since Lois had asked that question, her heartbeats had increased. The last son of Krypton may have not been knowledgeable when it came to romance, but even he knew what that meant. The two looked into each other's eyes. They could both feel a connection. Yet their moment was ruined by the sound of police sirens going off. "Guess you have to go."
"I'm afraid so." The Kryptonian turned around and flew after the police. Lois smiled as she turned around. However he soon returned, almost causing a frightened Lois to fall down. "I'm sorry, I have a friend that disappears from rooftops without saying goodbye. It's not a pleasant feeling. So I wish you a good evening." Superman once again waved goodbye as he set off. Lois smiled, waving back. Superman was a certainty a boy scout. He was shy, nerdy and probably couldn't talk to women. Yet Lois couldn't deny there was something about him. Something she just couldn't put her finger on.
Kara and Gohan met up as they found the final dragonball. The two had found a secluded spot to summon Shenron. Kara was exited to finally be granted her wish. Meanwhile Gohan was slightly confused as to what this was all about.
"So why are we summoning Shenron again? I thought we all agreed to only summon him during an emergency!" The half Saiyan asked.
"This is an emergency!" Kara argued. "If I'm going to be out there fighting crime, my identity must remain a secret."
"I get that, but what if we get into trouble?" The female Kryptonian was now starting to get annoyed.
"Gohan, quit being such a nerd." Kara placed all seven balls together as she recited the phrase. "Eternal dragon Shenron, by your name I summon you." All seven balls glowed before a yellow beam shot into the sky. Once again appearing before them was a dragon. Who looked very displeased.
"Alright what do you idiots want this ti.." Shenron ranted, before noticing the two kids. "Oh my god, someone new! Thank god it's finally ov... I mean..." The dragon cleared his throat in embarrassment. "I am the eternal dragon, state your wish now."
"Hi Shenron, are you aware of a wish we made with another dragon about the identity of my cousin Kal El?" Kara questioned.
"I am aware of this, yes!"
"Awesome! I'd like for you to use that same wish for me."
"So with glasses you'd like to be known as Clark Kent?" Kara face turned bright red. Gohan meanwhile couldn't stop laughing.
"No! No! With the glasses on I want to be known as Kara Kent. With them off... Supergirl."
"Very well, your wish is granted." Shenron and all seven dragonballs disappeared from view. Kara turned back to her best friend as they said their goodbyes. The world had been introduced to the Superman. And soon it would be introduced to the Supergirl.
The next day, Clark arrived at Lexcorp bright and early. After he knew the streets were safe, he memorised every question planned. It wasn't often that Lex Luthor agreed to do interviews. So he had to make the most of this experience. Soon as Clark entered the building he was met by a tall pale skinned woman. She had short black hair and brown eyes.
"Hello Mr Kent, my name is Mercy Graves. I am Mr Luther's head of security." She introduced herself. The reporter attempted to shake her hand, however she ignored his gesture. Clark felt slightly embarrassed by it. The two made their way up in a lift. "Before I allow you to see Mr Luthor, there are a few rules you must adhere to. Number one... You will have fifteen minutes for your interview, no more. Number two... You will address him as Mr Luthor at all times. And number three... You will not ask any questions concerning allegations of corruption. Any and all failure to comply with these conditions will be met with the termination of this interview. Is that clear?
"Loud and clear." Clark responded. The doors opened as Mercy escorted Clark through. They soon reached Lex's office, where the man himself was waiting. Lex was a medium sized, slightly bulky bald man. He dressed himself in a designer suit.
"I'd assumed they'd send Miss Lane for this interview." The businessman stated. Clark tried not taking that comment to heart.
"Miss Lane is unavailable, I'm just as qualified though." Clark lied. In truth, no one was anywhere near the level Lois was. However the Kryptonian couldn't let him know that. "Thank you for agreeing to do this interview Mr Luthor."
"A pleasure, Mr..."
"Kent... Clark Kent." The two sat down as Clark took out his notepad and pen. So Mr Luthor, next week will mark the twentieth anniversary of when you took over as Lexcorp CEO. After the untimely death of your father, how did that effect you? Obviously the added responsibility must have been difficult?"
"Obviously losing my father was rough, however in business you don't have time for sentimentality. I focused all my energy into this company, and the results speak for themselves. Lexcorp is now the biggest robotics company on Earth."
"According to the latest stock exchange, Wayne enterprises has you beaten." Lex smiled at that remark.
"I believe Bruce Wayne deals more in military tech rather than robotics. In that area we are unbeaten."
"Very good." Clark jotted some notes down. "Next question. Can you give our readers a taste of your next big project? Exo suits? Cybernetic enhancements?Maybe... Androids?"
"You know I can't give you that type of information." Clark continued on with his interview, which ran smoothly. Lex Luthor was certainly providing some good answers. "...that's just business however."
"Thank you... Now, final question... What's your take on the Superman?" Clark noticed as the smile from before disappeared, turning into a slight scowl.
"Personally... I think he's dangerous. This alien has the power to flatten entire cities if he wished."
"So your saying he's evil?"
"I never said evil, just dangerous. What if this 'alien' loses control of his powers? Or underestimates how powerful he really is? Innocent people could die."
"Innocent people are already dying due to gun related crime. Superman seems to be stopping them."
"Except we run background checks to prevent criminals from getting their hands on weapons. What control do we have over him?" He could kill the president in an instant. If that's what he desired."
"So you're suggesting what exactly? Lock him up, when he hasn't even committed a crime?"
"I'm suggesting the government keep a watchful eye, and have a silver bullet ready. Now if you'd excuse me Mr Kent, I have a meeting to attend." Clark shook his hand as he walked out. However what Lex said had got to him. What if he did lose control of his powers? Would the world be better off without him? Quickly though he remembered all the good he had done. Vegeta, Frieza and Mongul would have all caused major problems if it he hadn't been there. Clark would just have to prove Lex Luthor wrong.

So I hoped you all enjoyed that. Now a I have an announcement. The next chapter will begin the next major Arc. It will be called 'The Magic Saga'. So I hope you all enjoy it.

Celgress: Thanks.
Corondomontes: Thank you.
Jalen Johnson: I mainly did these chapters because I feel it's important to get the point across about how much of a beacon Superman is to people. A lot of characters won't need to have stuff like this.

2: we'll wait and see.
Dark Flacon: Thank you
Rubeneliasrivera: Yes I'm from England. I do try a write the quotes out in US English. Obviously these are mostly American characters.

Aguy1013: Thanks.
Guest 1: I don't know yet.

Guest 2: I have not current plans for deathstroke.
Guest 3: At least one Villain from each of their rogues gallery will show up.
Guest 4: it's cool. And I'd say the evil businessman from bio broly (if they count). If not then probably the three androids.
Guest 5: I'm hoping to include it. But I'm not sure if I can fit it in.
