World Three Hour Four
He felt embarrassed and exposed as the doctors, nurses and scientist were examining his bruises from Doomsboy using him as a punching bag. The fact he was sitting there naked with only a towel for modesty only made it worse. The fact he’d just learned he wasn’t a failure at all but a hybrid clone of Superman and a bald megalomaniac obsessed with him wasn’t helping. The fact his brother was down below in restraints also getting poked and prodded to verify his claims also made him nervous. Doomsboy was incredibly powerful and if he escaped he didn’t like thinking about what he’d do to him and Cooper new powers or not.
“You can get dressed now,” one of the doctors said as they were leaving the room. As he was getting dressed he took a moment to marvel at how his eyesight was clearing up. He doubted he had twenty twenty vision yet but he could see a lot better without his shattered glasses. He left the room to find Superman standing there with the doctor. “These results are preliminary you understand Superman but the boy appears to have some Kryptonian DNA and is beginning to share some of your powers and abilities.” The Doctor looked down at the information. “I would like to request the boy stays her for more in depth studies so we can determine more about him.”
He felt a moment of panic at being back in a laboratory again. His memories of Cadmus were a mixed bag and he often wondered if what screwed his brother up so much were all the test they had done on him. “I don’t think so Doctor,” Superman said surprising him. “I just wanted confirmation that he had Kryptonian DNA before I took him to an expert on it.” Superman turned back toward him and gave him a smile. “Are you ready to go?”
“Yes,” He said a bit too quickly judging by the doctors scowl. Soon enough he was beign carried threw the air by Superman and wondering if he’d ever be able to fly. “Do you think I’ll ever be able to fly?” He asked after a while.
“Possibly,” Superman said without really paying too much attention to him. “You are only half kryptonian so who knows how many of my abilities your develop.” Superman looked down at him and said. “You developed heat vision which is one of the powers I developed around the time I was beginning to be able to fly.” Superman paused and said, “so it’s probably likely that you will eventually be able to fly.”
Superman began to head for the ground and he saw it was outside his apartment building. “I thought you were taking me to see an expert on Kryptonian DNA?” He asked even though he was glad to see Cooper waiting on the steps.
“That can wait,” Superman said. “I’ll drop your blood sample off and let them run all the test they need on that first.” He settled him on the ground. “I have a feeling you’ll be more comfortable waiting here than where I’m going.” He blushed a bit at the implication Superman was he hoped unintentionally making. “Here by the way,” he said handing over two watches. “These were made by a friend of mine, they produce a signal that I can hear so if there is any more trouble either you or your partner can sound the alarm.” He smiled then, “Either I or Supergirl will answer.”
He noticed that Cooper had stayed back while Superman was talking to him but when Superman waved him over he came up. “I’ll see the both of you later be careful,” Superman said before rising into the sky leaving them standing there.
“Are you okay?” he asked Cooper once the world’s most famous hero was gone. Cooper nodded and looked uncomfortable. “Do you want me to leave because of what happened?” He had tried not think about that possibility while in Star labs.
“No I just wonder if your going to want to leave me now that you have powers,” Cooper said surprising him. “I mean you always talked about being wanting to be a hero like your brother was supposed to be and now here’s your chance.”
“I’m not going anywhere no matter what I decide to do with these powers,” He said and then to drive the point home. “I love you and I love it here in this ratty old apartment that hired me out of desperation.” Cooper’s response was only to kiss him deeply which was all he needed.
