Unknown Location,
Military base.
A set of large and powerful computers that looked way beyond their time could be seen in use in a large room as several officers and soldiers could be seen moving around the room as they went about their day.
On the large screen was a map and a red dot moving across the screen.
"Sir, it has appeared again and it's travelling towards West Texas fast…. Very fast"
"Have you identified its origin?" an officer standing a little bit behind him asked
"No sir but according to its trajectory, it should be coming from somewhere in Kansas or beyond"
"Send in Wraith, whatever that being is. I don't like it being on American soil" The officer said.
"Sir, Wraith is already on his way, intersection in T-10 seconds" the soldier announced as everyone looked up to the screen to see a new dot rushing towards the original one at blinding speeds
"Patch me through to Wraith" The officer ordered
"Communications under way sir" one of the many soldiers on the deck said
"Communications established sir," the soldier said again
"Hello Wraith, this is General Pat. Do you have eyes of the target?" The Officer or now general asked
"No sir, I can't see anyone out here, are you guys sure that you gave me the right location?" an incredibly deep and weird-sounding voice came from the communicator.
"Sir the target just disappeared"
"What?!, Wraith Whatever that thing is, it is definitely close to you, find it and bring it in" the General replied, a little bit confused,

Arriving in Texas's Air space, James immediately took out the locator given to him as he started searching around for the crash site.
[Sir you have an unknown incoming and it seems to be heading directly towards you] Kelex suddenly said
"What?!" James asked confused, there shouldn't be anybody flying around at this time unless it was a magic user then it was understandable
"Kelex, Cloak" James commanded as some sort of liquid slowly flowed out of his clothes, covering his whole body, his head included but it didn't cover his face.
The liquid solidified the instant it finished spreading to form some sort of extremely flexible metallic clothing.
Anyone who knew their stuff would instantly recognize it. After the fight with Eobard, James had taken a few extra steps to protect himself which included creating a suit of armour that he could wear at all times.
The armour was made using nanotech and was made using an Alloy of Nth Metal. Using the resources and technology available to him, James had long since figured out Nth Metal and though he couldn't exactly get more of it, he could create an alloy of the metal that had the basic abilities of the original.
The Alloy named Valorium-1 after the one that will eventually be created by Brainiac 5 of the future had incredible durability, flexibility and like the original, it still negated gravity and helped in healing though James wasn't so sure about the magic part of things.
James being who he was, used the metal to craft a set of self-replicating nanobots and boom! A suit was created.
The suit didn't help much other than grant its user extreme protection against extreme natural forces like cold, heat and its enhanced durability.
However, it did come with a few additional features that James had put in and one of them was an invisibility device.
Calling it a cloaking device was an understatement as it helped James completely disappear from view no matter how you were looking for him or what spectrum you were using, you wouldn't find him.
Unless said person is using magic but that would be under the condition that his new alloy wasn't immune to magic.
As James entered the camouflage mode, he saw something flying towards him at full speed. As the being got closer, the clearer James saw it.
It was a massive grey humanoid creature with multiple energy lines flowing through its body as though energy flowed through its veins. Looking at the creature, James's expression immediately darkened
"Sir, I can't see anyone out here, are you guys sure you gave me the right location? '' The creature asked as it held its ear.
"Kelex I want this area to disappear from the map. Block off every form of communication to this location" James said
[Affirmative] Kelex replied and James revealed himself to the creature
"Why are you following me Wraith?" James asked but unlike before his face and voice were now fully masked
Wraith was an alien from a race that was a little too much like the Kryptonians. They had powers that were derived from the sun as well, just stronger than the Kryptonians.
Wraith was an alien that worked for the US Government but in disguise, he was also an alien sent here to conquer the Earth from within.
Basically, the race brainwashed him and sent him here to set up the grounds for them.
James didn't like either of the two origins, he didn't care about any government in the world be it American, Asian or British, they could all go to hell.
He didn't care, he only cared that the Earth was safe and his family was.
Yes, he would eventually have to save the Earth from the villains at some point but James knew for sure that if he would ever have to take action then it would be because it was directly related to him or it was a Darkseid-level threat.
However, as for being the 'symbol of hope', James wasn't planning to do any such thing, any time soon.
Wraith's presence could only mean one thing, that the US Government knew about him. James wasn't going to let them continue spying on him. He was careless
If there was anything that James knew about worlds like this, it was that if you are hesitant then it would cost you a lot and James didn't hope to lose anything at all.
Wraith was powerful but unfortunately, he met a man whose strength, speed and power were completely immeasurable.
"How do you know that name"
"I know everything boy, from your race to their plans, from your presence here to the idiot in your ear" James said,
His modified voice making him sound much older than he was and with his build that just was inappropriate for a 15-year-old, he could easily fool anyone.
