New york police station

A policeman entered the police station, as if his life was in danger, the other policemen and detectives looked at him and asked what happened and he just asked "where is Captain Stacy?" "It's in his office, why, what happened?" Another policeman answered and asked, but got no answer because the policeman ran to the captain's office and, without knocking on the door, entered the office scaring the captain who was already ready to scold him when the policeman said breathlessly "captain, has a man in a blue and red uniform floating with his daughter in front of the police station "

Captain Stacy frowned and said "calm down and think before you speak, who's with my daughter?"

The policeman, tried to calm down and said "Captain, there is a man floating 10 meters from the ground holding two passed out men that I remember having arrested for attempted rape and theft and he is also with his daughter, he asked to speak to you, captain "

Captain Stacy thinking it was a bad joke from the policeman said "take me to him, but if it is a joke you will take a warning that you will never forget"

And the policeman took him to the exit of the police station, and what the captain saw, changed his whole worldview….

Leaving the police station, the captain was surprised by the commotion he saw in front of the police station, dozens, no, hundreds of people with cell phones in hand filming the sky, he also saw policemen with their hands on their guns and talking on the radio, as if they were waiting for hostile action and everyone there was looking at the sky, that's when he looked too and saw a man, no, a young man, perhaps the age of his daughter, or younger, floating in the air, while holding two bandits already known to his police station in his right hand and in his left held his daughter, who was smiling at him and apparently enjoying all the commotion, but the young man in the blue and red suit was frowning, as if he was unaccustomed or enjoying the situation.

He saw his daughter smiling and whispering something in the young man's ear, and Captain Stacy didn't like the apparent intimacy at all. And the young man floating looked directly at him and went towards him, approaching slowly, as if he was afraid to scare him.

"Are you Captain George Stacy?" Asked the young man who landed in front of the police captain.

"Yes, it's me. And who are you? And why are you with two thugs in one hand and carrying my daughter in the other"

With a friendly smile, the young man replied "her daughter was being harassed and assaulted by these two men, I helped her and when I was going to take these two men to the police station, she asked me to take her to you." The young man looked at his daughter and said "well, you are delivered" to which his daughter gave him a huge smile and whispered a few words that he did not hear, but made the young man very ashamed. The captain did not like it.

As he pulled his daughter to stand behind him, something that was received by a small complaint from her, he asked "you still haven't answered me who are you"

The young man looked at him, and as if thinking of an answer he said "I am a man with powers who dreams of a better world, sir"

The captain raised an eyebrow and said "is it that simple?"

To which the young man replied "the world is simple, captain, it is the people who make it complicated"

"Do you have a name, at least ?!" The captain asked

And thoughtful, and as if a little embarrassed, the young man said "Superman" and took off at super speed, which drew gasps from the audience and the police, and his daughter, who was at his side, shouted at the sky " my name is

Gwendolyn Stacy "and would say more if her father hadn't looked at her with a cold look.

Looking at the sky, the captain thought 'Superman, right ?! Hmph '
