"WOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!"
Zion screamed as he soared high into the sky, leaving the earth's surface behind as he ascended the sky, his heart raced with excitement and anticipation. With each passing moment, the world below seemed to shrink, its vastness becoming more apparent.
The air grew thinner, and the sky darkened around Zion as he pushed higher into the atmosphere. As Zion reached the edge of the mesosphere, he paused, suspended in the thin air, feeling the weightlessness that came with this altitude. He turned his gaze downward, and the curvature of the earth came into full view. The vibrant blue and white of the planet's surface contrasted with the deep black of space, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
"How peaceful!" Zion muttered, surrounded by the cosmic silence.
He could still feel the growing strength of his new body, it was like a battery that could infinitely charge, never reaching its limit. But the question was what will happen when he changes back? Will he just lose the stellar energy stored in his Kryptonian form and would he need to absorb the stellar energy again? Will he go supernova? Or Will his strengthen body just be restored after he transforms again?
If I need to absorb the stellar energy to refill myself again, I can't change into a Kryptonian at night. Think of superman who could only works in the morning, now that's hilarious. {Kryptonian's form feels like it runs on solar power, hahahah. And Don't forget that Omnitrix stores DNA of creatures. Zion gains their natural born abilities, like absorbing solar power, but not arguments abilities like strength that is produced from solar energy. Comment if I am wrong.}
Zion sighed as he didn't know. 'This is going to be a trouble. Maybe I should just build an armour to counter that problem. I would need to create a miniature yellow sun and contain it inside the suit without causing a singularity that would wipe this earth.'
Zion unconsciously stopped levitating himself as he fully concentrating on building the armour.
Zion began his decent, gravity pulling him faster and faster. The world rushed to meet him, and the sensation would have been exhilarating if not for him lost in thought. Zion's cape billowed in the rushing wind as he cut through the atmosphere.
As he descended, the world around him transitioned into silent emptiness of space to the roaring tumult of the lower atmosphere. The air resistance generating a fiery aura around him, a testament to the sheer speed of his decent.
Zion's brain worked at hyper speed, outlining the armour's design. "To create this suit," Zion mused, "I will need to tap into Kryptonian knowledge and combine it with Earth's cutting-edge technology. The miniature sun at the core will be a fusion of Kryptonian crystal and Earths advanced tech. The miniature sun will not only strengthen my Kryptonian form but also increase the strength and defense of my other forms."
With the earth's surface drawing closer, Zion continued, "The armour itself should be a seamless blend of durability and flexibility. A nanotech alloy will allow it to adapt to my movements effortlessly, while still providing superior protection against any threat."
[Beep] [Beep] [Beep] [Beep][Beep]
Zion was snapped out of his thought as the beeping sound of Omnitrix increased in frequency. Zion didn't panic, and slowed downed the speed of his falling so he doesn't go splat. With a flash of golden light, Zion transformed back. Zion spread his hands, creating much drag as he could. He lifted his watch, ready to transform, only to be hit with a "Time out".
"Well... SUPERMAN!!! SAVE ME!!! I. AM. OUT. OF. CHARGE!!!" Zion shouted like a damsel in distress.
Zion was plummeting to the ground with increased speed . He knew that he would not die due to Omnitrix's safety mechanism, but that doesn't mean that he was not scared shitless seeing the hard, solid earth approaching at high speed.
"AHHH!! I AM DEAD!!!" Zion shouted.
"Can you stop screaming?" A soft feminine voice said next to him.
Zion's head snapped to the side, his face brightening. "Kara!!!"
***
Kara watched as Zion took fight towards the infinite cosmos.
Zion had instantly controlled the overflowing energy, showing the mastery over his body. She could see that Zion had no trouble controlling his new found powers as he soared thought the sky.
"Well, he seems to be in control," Superman remarked with slight surprise.
"What do you mean?" Lois asked, curious to learn more about superman and his adventures.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
"Well, when I first learned of my powers as a child, lets just say it was not a good experience. Learning that you are different from everyone was a bit shocking and frightening. I could lift things without meaning to, or I'd accidentally run faster than the wind. I nearly destroyed our farm with my heat vision," Superman reminisced, a small smile formed on his lips.
"It was then my parents told me about my arrival to earth. I still remember my mother telling stories about me lifting my fathers car when I was just three years old. They taught me everything, instilled in me the importance of responsibility and using my powers for good."
"Me, too. I blew my ship being unable to control my heat vision."
Kara thought back to her arrival to earth, it was not a pleasantest experience. She crash landed on earth and crawling out of the wreckage, everything was so strange and different. The yellow sun gave her strength but it only confused her even more. Then things took a dark turn, being captured by some secret organization and being imprisoned in a cold dark cell.
"Seems like being strong comes with its troubles," Jimmy remarked.
"I does. Being all powerful comes with its responsibility," Superman affirmed.
Kara looked at Zion who was falling back to Earth. His posture suggesting that he was definitely not flying back, he was falling without control. She used her Zoom vision as she observed Zion.
Zion was not panicking, he was more like lost in thought. She then saw the Omnitrix hum, Zion turning to slow his descend and with a flash of light transform back to his human form. Zion then tried to change into another form but he couldn't.
She saw as Zion's calm demeanor break and replaced with panic. And then, "SUPERMAN!!! SAVE ME!!! I. AM. OUT. OF. CHARGE!!!" Zion shouted like a damsel in distress.
Kara swiftly reacted as she flew toward Zion, turing into a steak of red and blue across the sky. With a burst of incredible speed, she reached Zion.
"AHHH!! I AM DEAD!!!" Zion shouted, again.
"Can you stop screaming?" Kara asked, her ears ringing due to the close proximity and super hearing.
"Kara!!!" Zion's panic turned into relief as he saw her.
Kara wrapped her arms around him, effortlessly stopping his fall. Her cape billowed in the wind as she carried Zion to safety in a princess carry. Zion had warp his arm around her neck. Zion looked into Kara's eyes.
"Thank you," he said, "My watch timed out."
Kara landed on the Daily Planet skyscraper. Zion hurriedly got out of Kara's grasp out in embarrassment.
"What happened?" Superman asked.
"Well, Omnitrix transforms me back to human after a period of time. It's a safety mechanism to prevent my DNA from altering permanently," Zion explained.
"So, you can only transform for a short period of time?" Kara asked.
"No, I can keep my transformation for long as I want but my DNA might change permanently and I don't want to have green skin due to mutation," Zion joked.
"Every power has its limit," Jimmy remarked.
"He knows," Zion pointed.
"Can you change others DNA permanently?" Kara asked.
Zion turned to her, looking at her curiously. "Why would you want to know? And I can change others DNA."
"Just wanted to know." Kara answered.
"So, Can I get my date?" Zion wiggled his eyebrows.( 〜  ̄▽ ̄)〜
"You can have it," Kara agreed.
"Okay, meet you tomorrow at 4:00 p.m., Bibbo's Diner," Zion replied.
"So, what are we going to do now?" Jimmy asked.
"You got the photo with me and superman talking. Right?" Zion asked.
"What do you think, mate?" Jimmy smirked.
"Lois will edit it into what she wants, a hope for people without power. An assurance that even if you are ordinary, you can do the extraordinary things," Zion turned to Lois.
"I can do it," Lois affirmed.
"You got your news for tomorrow and I got to meet superman. Finally, we can all enjoy the pie. Now, where is the pie?" Zion asked.
"Here," Jimmy extended the bag he was holding.
"Lets have some pie," Zion turned to superman.
"Sorry kid, Duty calls," Superman gave a nod to everyone before he flew away.
"Pie?" Zion turned to Kara.
"Sorry, got to go," Kara flew off.
Zion puffed his cheeks and looked at the remaining pair. Lois and Jimmy shrugged and took a piece of pie each. They walked to the door was they enjoyed the delicious apple pie. They got down to the ground floor and started working to publish.
Zion left them to do their work and exited the Daily planet. He got to his car and contemplate what had happened.
"Things went well for now. I have established connections with Superman and Supergirl. I need to find the other leaguers, but I am not going to assemble them just yet. Cyborg is important in the formation of Justice League and Titans. I can't disturb his birth.
So, I should meet others. Maybe, I should meet Batman, he will know about me eventually and I need his resources to build my armour. Then maybe I should go meet the fastest man alive."
Zion closed his diary after writing down his plans for now. Zion kept his diary and turned his car around to meet the Dark Knight.
The car zoomed out of the city of tomorrow.

-Batcave-
Batman entered the Batcave after his routine patrol, the familiar hum of the Batcomputer and the soft glow of the monitors providing a comforting sense of normalcy(Batman standards). As he removed his cowl and begun to review the night's data, his keen instincts picked up a subtle irregularity.
The Bat computer's display flickers momentarily before stabilizing, and an unusual message flashes across the screen, one that's not part of his usual Batcave protocols. Batman narrowed his eyes realizing that something is amiss.
His eyes dart around the cave, scanning for any signs of disturbance. The Batmobile, usually neatly parked, appeared to have been moved slightly. Batman quickly checked the surveillance feeds, noticing a glitch in one of the cameras. Batman's instincts kick into high gear as he approached the Batmobile cautiously, his gloved hands hovering over the utility belt, ready to access any necessary gadgets.
"Batman," a robotic yet sentient voice called.
Batman turned to the voice, and was met with an astonishing sight. Emerging from the shadow was what looked like his bat armour, covered in green glowing circuit, a singular circle adorning its face.
"Hello, Batman," The thing waved at Batman with humane fluidity.
Batman remained cautious and vigilant as ever, as he addressed the mysterious intruder with a stern tone. "I don't know who or what you are, But you're in my cave, uninvited. Explain yourself."
The being nodded his head in understand and walked to his Bat computer. He hovered his hands above the supercomputer, and the green circuit line retracted from his body and flowed into the computer.
