"Haa...new day..." Clark said with a yawn, as the warm sunlight streaming through the window illuminated his room. He got out of bed and stretched, giving another yawn as he walked over to his backpack on a small table. He grabbed it and opened it, pulling out a notebook and a pencil. He sat back down on his bed, opening the notebook and beginning to write.
"Well, time to do this, a way I thought of to control my strength..." Clark muttered to himself, his pencil moving swiftly across the page as he wrote. He did it calmly, lost in thought as he contemplated the future. Having these incredible powers was amazing, but he knew that as he grew older, things could get complicated. He was still just a child, only 10 years old, with a body that didn't match his adult-like thoughts and abilities. But he was determined to learn how to control his strength.
An hour passed and Clark put his notebook and pencil in his backpack, he got out of bed and looked at his hands, "for now I think I have super strength, I should try to do other things, since my parents are sleeping, it's Sunday and it's early..."
Clark smiled and left his room, he walked down the hall and went down the stairs slowly without making any noise, he approached where his parents keep the key and grabbed it, he opened the front door and muttered "ok clark, it's just a little turn around outside, nothing more..."
He walked outside and closed the door behind him, he began to walk through the farm, the wind brushed his hair, "oh, my glasses, ah, well, at least they won't break, I still see well, but they will be useful in the future."
Clark walked as he thought about the world he was in, the future, the people he might know,"ok...the problem is does this Earth have all the people I know, Flash, Aquaman, Wonder Woman or is it just me...? At least Batman will be there right...? Although they might be different than the ones I know..."
He casually walked around the farm and muttered "ok, let's try this!"
He walked and stood in front of the large amount of crops,"ok, let's test my speed, maybe I'll increase more than before!"
He got into position, the wind moved his black hair, his blue eyes were serious as he got into position, he squeezed his legs tightly and ran quickly.
Everything went by in a blur, a blur moved through the crops at a great speed, Clark ran at a superhuman speed, his feet sometimes breaking a bit of the ground behind him,"WOHOOOO!!" He screamed in excitement, but quickly covered his mouth so as not to wake his parents, but his eyes widened even more when he felt something on his foot and he tripped on the ground, he began to roll non-stop on the ground, a few seconds later he stopped rolling on the ground and lay on his back looking at the blue sky, the clouds were scattered and moved lazily in the sky.
"Wow... that was great!" Clark said with a smile, he stood up and said "ah... my clothes are dirty, mom is going to scold me, bad luck..."
But he looked in one direction and said "although I don't think it's so bad to try something else... this will be fun for sure!"
He positioned himself again and squeezed his legs together harder, the ground beneath him cracked a little and Clark shot forward, he ran like never before, he shouted "ok, here we go!"
He squeezed his legs tightly and jumped into the air, he jumped a few meters in the air, "ha... hahahaha!!" He began to laugh with excitement as he began to jump in the air several times without stopping, he fell back to the ground and this time decided to do something different.
He started running again, slowly reaching a speed greater than before and squeezed his legs tightly, he jumped and the ground beneath him broke even more, this time he jumped so much that it seemed like a blur that reached the sky in seconds, he even went through a cloud, he looked as he was in the sky, the clouds around him, the rays of the sun reached him, his blue eyes looked at the sun with surprise and a smile, he looked around and said "wow... great..."
Although suddenly everything got worse when he realized what was going to happen, his face turned pale and he said "ok.. I'm so f--"
He began to plummet in seconds, the air hit his face and he began to scream non-stop as he plummeted towards the dirt ground "AHHHHHHHHH!!"
"FLY FLY FLY FLY FLY!!!" Clark screamed rapidly as he moved his limbs non-stop, trying to fly, but he couldn't, he watched as the ground got closer and closer without stopping.
He could only hear the sound of the air and his scream, he quickly moved his limbs without stopping, "ok... THIS IS GOING TO HURT!!" He screamed and covered himself with his arms, to at least cover himself a little from the damage, although the pain would be great.
He closed his eyes tightly and waited for the impact to come, but it didn't, "I'm already dead...?" He muttered with some fear, he slowly opened his eyes, earth, he saw the earth floor centimeters from his eyes, he watched as some specks of earth floated a little around him, he moved and saw something that made him have a big smile, he was floating in the air.
"Ha...HAHAHA I CAN FLY--" suddenly he fell face downwards, he stayed still for a few seconds and got up from the ground, "ah...that hurt a little..."
He looked around and raised his arms in the air and said "I CAN FLY!!"
He lowered his arms and muttered "Ok...let's try to do that again..." the desire to fly was in his mind, deeply rooted in his mind, flying was something he wanted, to soar through the skies, like someone free.
He closed his eyes and inhaled and exhaled slowly, his mind began to calm down, his heartbeat began to steady, he felt as if he was slowly leaving the ground, he didn't feel the ground, he opened his eyes and saw how some specks of dust seemed to float a little in the air, he smiled and said "YES--" he suddenly pushed himself face first towards the ground again, the ground shook a little, Clark slowly got up and saw how the ground seemed to have almost the shape of his face from accidentally crashing into it.
"It doesn't matter, it's just the beginning!" he said with a smile.
He sighed and slowly began to float, for him it was like a strange sensation, it was like moving an invisible muscle that can't be seen or touched, but Clark could feel it.
Dust motes began to slowly surround him,"ok..let's just go up a little bit slowly..."
Suddenly he turned into a blur and shot off faster than a bullet into the sky,"OHHHHHHHHH!!!" He screamed as he flew through the sky at an enormous speed, the sound of the air tearing was what he heard, he moved without much experience and moved in another direction, he quickly watched as he began to descend without stopping,"NO NO NO, UP UP!!"
He used his fists as something to guide himself and raised them with force, before he hit the ground he ascended and flew back into the sky,"YEEEEEE WOHOOO!!" The euphoria was evident in his voice, a sonic boom sounded and suddenly he flew even faster, the air tore without stopping and Clark became a blur in the air, only a red spot was seen in the sky because of Clark's red shirt, he smiled as he flew through the air, the clouds, the blue sky, the sun, he was in the air with a big smile.
"THIS IS GREAT!!" He shouted in excitement as he flew through the air, he moved in another direction and began to fly at enormous speeds, he only felt the air move his hair and his blue eyes were enchanted by what he saw, it was beautiful.
He suddenly stopped and looked at the sky, he smiled and looked at the sun in the sky, "wow... beautiful..." the sun rays gently touched Clark and he just gave a big smile.
Clark's eyes sparkled with joy as he floated in the air, taking in the breathtaking view of the sky and the clouds. He felt free, like he could go anywhere and do anything. He was flying, and nothing could stop him.
He took a deep breath, feeling the rush of the wind in his lungs, and let out a whoop of excitement. "I'M FLYING!!"
He moved and disappeared again in a blur, the sound of a sonic boom was heard and Clark flew through the air for a while, he went through some clouds and headed towards a forest near Smallville, he flew so fast but he forgot to stop himself,"NO NO AHHH!!" He almost crashed into the ground but he just moved and was able to land almost safely, he fell to the ground face first and after a few seconds he got up,"ok...I have to fix my superhero entrance..."
He looked around and looked at the forest around him,"I think I need to go back home, besides I need to fix some things I did at the farm...I think I'm going to take a quick shower before they find out, okay clark, let's go!"
He squeezed his legs together and jumped into the air as a sonic boom sounded, he shot into the air and flew away in a blink through the skies.

(2 years later)
Smallville, a small and isolated American town, in Kansas, its population is 110,000 inhabitants, in a small park in Smallville a 12 year old Clark Kent was quietly sitting on the grassy ground while looking at a small lake, "ah... how quiet" he was waiting for his father, so he decided to wait in the park because he was curious about what it was like.
"Ah... school is boring..." he murmured as he watched some ducks floating calmly in the water.
Clark sat in silence for a moment, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the park. He had grown accustomed to his life in Smallville, but he still couldn't help feeling like there was something more out there for him. He had been working on controlling his powers, and he was getting better at it every day. But he still had a lot to learn.
As he sat there, he noticed a group of children playing tag nearby. They were laughing and yelling, and Clark couldn't help but feel a pang of envy. He wanted to participate with other people, but he was afraid of accidentally hurting someone with his powers.
He stood up and walked around the park for a bit, he watched some kids playing, even a dog running around the park while its owner threw him a bone,"ok, I think I'll go see dad"
Suddenly he stopped when he saw a boy of maybe 9 years old looking at a tree, he saw a small cat on a branch, the boy said to the cat, the little boy looked like he wanted to cry "be careful!"
Clark approached the boy and said "hey your cat got stuck there?"
"yes!" the boy said while wiping his tears,"my mom gave it to me, I don't want anything to happen to it!"
Clark smiled and looked around, no one was looking this way, he quickly floated in the air and arrived next to the branch where the cat was meowing, he quickly grabbed the cat and quickly went down to the ground, the boy looked at Clark with surprised eyes.
"here, take better care of it, will you?" said Clark with a smile, the boy grabbed the kitten and hugged it "thanks!"
Clark just smiled and said "yeah, well bye!" he turned around and walked away, the boy quickly said "who are you?"
Clark stood up and said without turning around "hmm...just call me superman"
