Trouble in Metropolis

It was sometime between morning and midday.

The city of Metropolis was bustling with people, everywhere you look people were busy with their daily life and speaking of daily life, there was a well-known tall building with an enormous globe that sits on top of it, the words 'Daily Planet' were displayed on that globe, which was a name hinting the sort of business run inside that building, it was the name of one of the most famous newspaper companies in the DC universe and also where mild mannered reporter 'Clark Kent' works but unfortunately, Clark Kent wasn't there today.

Inside the Daily planet

"Jimmy, did you see Clark today?" an attractive woman with long black hair asked as she seemed to be hurrying somewhere, she was 'Lois Lane' a successful journalist who is also working for the Daily Planet.

In the comics Lois Lane is often seen as a friend and a work 'rival' work for Clark Kent however in some versions and adaptations of the superman comics her relationship with Clark Kent went even further to become also that of a husband and wife…

"No, miss Lane, do you want me tell him you are looking for him when he comes?" Said a ginger youth with a bright smile on his face, his name is Jimmy Olsen, working as a photojournalist for the Daily Planet and he was a good friend for both Lois Lane and Clark Kent and especially for superman.

"No need Jimmy, this is going to be my scoop" Lois Lane answered as she left with a smile on her pretty face.

Meanwhile, 'Clark Kent' was still aimlessly running trying to escape the noises he is hearing.

*BIIIBBB!!*

"Hurry…"

"You are going to be late…"

*Grrrr…*

"Don't miss that…"

"Ok will tell…"

"What about dinner…"

*Caw caw*

"Merci"

"보자"

"No olvides tu tarea"

"なぜB…"

"هناك…"

"让路"

Hundreds of thousands of conversations, sounds, voices, etc… from around the world were being transmitted to him at the same time, in a sense, to him it was noise pollution.

Superman kept running seeking a shelter from all those noises but where could he hide? His hearing sense was excellent if not even better.

"Superman!"

Suddenly he heard 'his' name, that call seemed like a call for help.

But unfortunately, he didn't feel like helping, he wasn't a bad person but just he didn't feel like helping, main reason for that was his current condition, he felt like he was in need of help before being able to help.

"Superman! help!" he heard another call for help

"Nope" was what he thought

"Help me! Superman!!" another call for help reached him

"Some help me first!" He thought as he again ignored the call for help But

"Superman!"

"Superman!!"

"Help us!"

"Superman!!!"

The shouts for help suddenly increased, each time he ignores one, two or three shouts would reach him.

"God! Why me? Aren't the noises I am hearing enough? Where did these people come from?" he said as he grumbled

"Superman!"

"Fine, fine, I will come" he said as he gave up and decided to help

"Superman!" Unfortunately, it wasn't like whoever were calling for help could hear him therefore the shouts for help didn't stop which only made him more irritated.

Alas, following the voices calling for help, superman arrived at the harbor and what he saw there was simply amazing in a sense.

At the harbor, several big flaming ovals where floating in the sky as terrifyingly looking creatures kept flying out of them while for some reason lots of people where gathered there and were being kidnapped by the creatures and back into the flaming floating ovals.

"Parademons!" superman was shocked

It was his first time in that world and he was still trying to get used to life there and to his powers, but his first opponents were parademons? And if there is Parademons, it means that 'Darkseid' is there as well, and that is a bad thing.

As a fan of Dc comics he knew who Darkseid is, and what terror he could bring, reading or watching that terror is something but living it is something else entirely no to mention he got to face that terror, the current superman was at a loss because Darkseid was a super villain whose powers equaled the actual superman's and in some adaptation Darkseid was far stronger than the actual superman, so what would that make him for the current superman?

However, things didn't stop at that.

When he looked around more following the screaming people, he saw that there were familiar characters fighting the parademons, or rather than characters they were people as he is living in the same world as them now, anyway, said familiar people included Batman, Wonder woman, Flash, Cyborg, Shazam and Martian manhunter those were members of the justice league so it weren't strange for them to be there when a threat like Darkseid was present but superman was surprised by someone else

"Lois Lane" he said surprised

Lois lane is a character with her own fanbase, she even got her own comics.

But she doesn't have super powers, well, at least aside from few adaptations but the current one in front of him doesn't seem to have any super powers.

Now what does he know about this pretty lady?

To him Lois Lane is a headstrong and ambitious woman but also a bit of an idiot, as even now in that 'hunting field' she wasn't trying to run away but seems to be chasing someone.

Upon closer look there was a bald healthy-looking man in black suit that seems to be trying to go somewhere.

"Lex Luthor" again superman recognized another face

Lex Luthor was most of the time depicted as an enemy of superman in almost every DC comic except few, as he feared him, envied him and even tried to harm superman on lots of occasions.

Not exactly a supervillain although he was depicted as such in lots of works but the current superman's impression of him wasn't good either as Lex Luthor is selfish and always thought of how to make his desires come true not to mention he dislikes superman a lot, therefore the current superman doesn't like him either.

"Lots of trouble" was what he thought, he might be superman now but he isn't the actual superman no matter how much he dreamt of being a super hero but of course not like that, there were lots of things on line, mainly his life, mr Mxy words still echoing in his head, how is he going to make him change his impression of superman and especially in such situation?

"Superman!" a grim voice suddenly called, it sounded so close.

Turning around, superman saw a man in a black suit, just from a glance one can see that the design was based on a bat, and as if that wasn't enough there was a big black bat on the chest area of the suit.

"Batman!" superman said surprised, till few moments ago batman was a distance away from him and now he is behind him, when did he get behind him? Superman couldn't tell…
