A/N I cringe as I read this... But I didn't really know what else to do for Superman and I owe you guys an update. Anyways, up next is Batman (hopefully will be done and up by next week)!
I hate...
Public Speaking
Superman
During his childhood...
Clark looked at Ma, a doubtful look on his face.
"Do I really have to do this?" He asked, and she nodded, still ironing the next days clothes.
"You know you do, Clark." She said. "You're the one who signed up for this class, and it'll serve you well one day!" Clark, with a sigh, went back over the speech he was working on.
Clark, after giving his presentation, had to force himself to keep from cringing when the sound of applause burst out, making his ears ache. He managed to escape the classroom quickly, and rubbed his ears once he was sure no one else was in the area.

As an adult...
That pattern followed itself all through Clark's life. He gives a speech, gets alot of applause, and escapes as soon as he is able.
Which was why he felt like he was given the short end of the straw when Batman told him he would be the League's public speaker. He knew that the amount of applause that his speech caused would make his ears ring for hours (or, if Batman had ear plugs, maybe only one hour).
He was back in his appartment, rewinding the tape he'd set to record his speech, and listened, judging himself, and critizing himself when he said something not entirely true, or messed up, and giving himself a pat on the back (metaphorically) when he did good.
After listening to his whole speech, he turned off the TV, and leaned back on the couch with a sigh, before calling up Barry.
"Can you become the public speaker of the League?" He asked when the speedster answered.
"Hahaha!" Barry laughed. "No way! Do you have any idea how many time's I'd screw up during those speeches? You'd have better luck getting Batman to give the speeches!" With that, Barry hung up, and Clarks shoulders' fell.
"I really hate public speaking." He muttered as he started planning the next speech he knew he'd have to give on behalf of the League.
A/N Yea, I really did a bad job with this chapter, didn't I? Anyways, let me know how I can improve in the comments!
