CHAPTER 11: SUPERMAN

“ What happened to me and what is this place?”.

“Well... After a life of loneliness, losing everything you loved, and having a life where all you did was be a complete loser, the day of your judgment came, a part of you wanted that but another part was pushing you to continue for no particular reason, you were already like what they call in your world as a background character in everyone's life”-says the unknown man

“ I know that already believe me, But that doesn't answer my question ”

“ Well, I decided to bet on that part of you that still wanted to live, the truck hit you and caused your instant death, the good side is that the girl was saved, and she will have a better life than the one you had in that world, that's for sure. ”-says the unknown man

In a way what he says is true, throughout the days I didn't mind dying, but at that moment when I saw that girl and the truck, my mind made me doubt if it was worth dying, I had a completely selfish thought.

I didn't know what to do but my body started to move by itself, maybe because for the first time in a long time, I felt adrenaline... I felt alive, I felt that someone needed me and that I could help him, in the end, I managed to save him but I died trying.

I'm crying, I don't know if it's because I feel like my life sucked until the last moment or because I won't be able to fix it anymore, I feel lost and empty, something makes me nostalgic, I would even say I wish I were still alive but I know that life wasn't a life worth living.

“I continue... well then.... I decided to give you a new chance, I think, part of it was that you gave your life for someone you saw out of nowhere, just because you wanted to be someone in that miserable life. So when you came here I had two choices, send you to the places that in your world they call heaven and hell or give you a chance to live a life in another world and start from scratch, but with your memories of your previous life, so that you would profit.”-says the unknown man

“So you're a go..”

“so I chose a fun world, something that many kids, and teenagers have always dreamed of, a world of heroes, in your world most are called that in comics or movies, so I chose this world, the body you are in is the copy of one of the strongest heroes in the world, which I guess you must at least recognize, the guy who was in this body was a failed experiment as he died right when the fire started in the facility, so it allowed me to introduce your soul into that body. There are also many classic heroes known to all, as there are others you don't know, I think that's enough information, the rest you will discover on your own, have fun in this new world little superboy.”- says the unknown man

“ No, wait, I still have more questions.”

My body began to feel heavier and the image of that man got further away, the light in the room was flooded with darkness and the only thing that resounded before returning to reality was a whisper from that man that was already almost imperceptible.

“We will meet again, trust me.” -says the unknown man

The noise of the rocks along with the dust began to become more present, I felt again heavier the rocks above me again, I guess I had returned to this world where that man left me.

I took some of the impacts from some debris as I tried to protect the fast-running boy, I also made sure Krypto was ok, his heartbeat and breathing I hear it perfectly.

“Are you okay first boy, are we all out?”-says the boy quickly

The fast guy who was just a moment ago below me stands up and helps me with the debris that was still on me, he then raises his right hand, and with his look and smile on his face he gives me understanding that he gets a high five in the form of a good job. I felt that if I didn't it would be in bad taste, plus if I didn't I'm pretty sure he wasn't going to put his hand down, so he high-fives him and his smile got bigger, almost like a kid playing at the amusement park.

I hear debris falling from the other side, it must be the others trying to get out..... the truth is I still can't think well, that guy from a while ago in the white room makes me uneasy, I still don't understand what was that kind of “dream” and the boy who was crying, there are still confusing things, and more because he didn't want to tell me everything, although one information was quite useful to me another one was equally quite null, I guess that helps me to understand a little more this world, a world of superheroes of the comics known in my world, I would have liked to read as a child many comics of those types, seriously it would have been easier everything, but I did not have enough money when I grew up, the movies I got to see of superheroes were very few and I did not understand them very well, I saw them try to fit in and talk about topics known by other children.

I guess I didn't see it as a taste because I only did it to not be an outcast, in the end, I put it aside and lived my life in the most pathetic and unentertaining way, without any taste for music, theater, or cinema, it was just me against the world, in the end, I turned out to be that outcast that I avoided so much as a kid, and my only friends were the manga.

The other guys manage to clear the debris that prevented them from getting out, even Krypto got out before them.

“They took too long to get out, dead people don't eat pizza you know?”-says the boy quickly

“what do you say, flash boy, Aqualad and I aren't that easy to kill, or did you ever doubt that we couldn't all get out?”- says Robin

A rather mocking voice is heard, it's Robin and Water Whip Boy, I guess I'll have plenty of time to think and analyze what happened but more important things are happening now, you can tell from afar that they are hurt, after all, it's not every day that debris falls on you like it's something from your daily life.

As I looked at Krypto, a part of me felt joy, but Krypto started acting strangely, he was wagging his tail from side to side and looked like he was going to run away at any moment, I thought it was because of me that his manner changed but his gaze was resting on the sky.

“Are you okay buddy?”

His gaze doesn't stray from the sky, what is he looking at, what has him like that, you just manage to see a slightly strange silhouette, slowly approaching where we are, could it be another strange animal?

“Superman!”-says the boy quickly

Was all the whip boy blurted out, cutting off the celebratory chatter they were having as he checked Krypto for his very strange behavior?

The others looked up at the sky in the same direction Krypto's gaze was pointing, it was amazing, this place never ceased to amaze me, it was like I was dreaming, I was watching a man come down from the sky like an angel, of course at this point it's understandable after what I just found out about this reality, but it never ceased to amaze me.

The man was getting closer and closer to our location, and also more and more people were arriving, some in very strange costumes and even different colors, some with wings and some that didn't even look human but mostly robots, and of course some that didn't look like they were from this world.

Krypto flew shot towards Superman, the same Superman, who was just a fictional story in comics and movies, apparently from Superman's face came a small smile when he saw Krypto, but it was obvious from his change of expression instantly to a more serious one, Superman continued on his way towards us, without saying a single word, his gaze was too heavy, apart of course from his muscular figure. The boys were silent which showed the respect they had for him.

“Oh Superman, we accomplished the mission, don't you think it's great?”-says the boy quickly

It was the voice of the fast boy that broke the silence this time, Superman's expression did not change, and as he touched the ground his presence showed great power, I felt a constant pressure in me of danger and that if he was my enemy I would not survive long, I realized that next to him was the very man that in the comics and movies, I knew as Batman, each time what that man said became more real before my eyes, a world based on the comics in my world.
