Super Baby

Jonathan and Martha brought me back to their home, I guess they are my mom and dad now. All the way in the car to the house, I struggled to breathe, I knew this was just a process and it would be easier for me as a baby to adjust to the earth's atmosphere. I tried to take hard breaths, as suffocation was not a pleasant experience. My new mom and dad looked worried and kept praying, I knew once the sun rises everything would be fine. Killing a kryptonian, even a baby on earth is almost impossible for normal humans, so I would definitely survive. What I was worried about was the spaceship or the capsule I came in. I do not know how Jonathan would bring it back to his farm and into the shed nearby. Getting dizzy I knew all I could do to help was sleep and scream anyway.

I woke up in the morning feeling all better. Like literally I could see and hear better, no more blurry visions, this just made me realise how broken kryptonians are in the presence of a young sun and I was no more than a couple of days old. I saw Martha holding me close like I was gonna disappear from her arms, she was still asleep exhausted from yesterday I guess, my new dad wasn't in sight. I poked her cheeks to wake her up, she looked beautiful, maybe it was the motherly love or something. She woke up and started inspecting me and making baby sounds making me all giggle. She then took me in her arms and brought me outside. I was watching us moving outside near to direct sunlight. I was having weird twilight flashbacks feeling I would start sparkling all of a sudden under the sun … that didn't happen obviously but the moment sunlight touched me, it felt like electricity was running through my body, I felt euphoric, almost orgasming, weird considering I am only a baby.

But I knew this was all just a feeling and in reality my kryptonian cells are just being charged. The source of Superman's power, my power, the yellow sun … krypton being almost 27 light years away form this earth and being 1000 times bigger than it, has a red sun as its star. Red means an older star, yellow a younger version, which makes me or any kryptonian for that matter supercharged under the younger sun. It sounds like I am just a solar charged battery, but it would in essence make me nigh invincible under this sun, in the future I mean, right now I just wanna sleep in my new mothers arms feeling the sunlight on my face and that's what I did. Martha felt happy seeing me smile and brought a chair to sit outside in the sun waiting for his husband to return.

I started walking by evening on the first day, mom and dad were very happy and a bit shocked but apparently they did expect an alien baby to be different. I spoke my first words as Martha, 3 days after. I was planning it and it was hilarious for me and I wanted to do it in Batman's voice too but all that came out was 'Ma' which made mom all tear up which was followed by kisses and hugs all day.

There was this other thing, on the first day after coming back my dad showed a black crystal to my mom. It was pointed at one end and had an S mark above on the other flat end. I immediately recognised it as the key to the fortress of solitude. It did verify one of my doubts, apparently I was the codex. Kryptonians were a very advanced civilization, so advanced that they had an artificial birth system. Natural births were banned for centuries, they liked to control all the people within and had decided to alter genetically what the said path or function of a newborn would be. I was the only natural born child in centuries breaking that custom and gaining my own path. In the movie it shows that Jor-El, my father, transferred all of the codex, the genetic material of all the generations of kryptonians within my cells, technically making me the best among them. I could with the help of a genetic chamber which is in the north pole inside the fortress of solitude right now, make a new krypton. Or I could just make a harem and repopulate kryptonians the old fashioned way, I am definitely not going to be like the original Superman ignoring all the girls, he was too much of a good guy I guess. But right now as a super baby all I can sleep with is Martha.
