Lost

part 1

It was a hot, long, and agonizingly boring day in Smallville, Kansas. My eyes glare at the ceiling of my room as I listened to a battle in Metropolis. My blue tank top rolled up ever so slightly as I moved my right knee, making my shorts rub against each other. 

 I could be in the city fighting alongside my cousin, but disappointingly, I was forced to stay on a farm. It’s not fair; I’m just as strong, if not more than him, yet I’m forced to sit on the sidelines. I growled at the thought of him lecturing me like a father about using my powers rather than a cousin. With my eyes shut and eyebrows pinched in disdain, I sit up and get out of bed.

“This is bull; Kal el can’t treat me like this,” I crumbled out as I marched to my closet, trying not to let my anger get a hold of me so I wouldn’t have to fix the floor again. Rummaging through my clothes, I found a small bag where I kept some stuff when Darkseid manipulated me. 

Hoping to find the tool that could send me somewhere instantly, I found an old bag. Without a second thought, I ripped the bag open and slowly pulled out a boom tube remote, gripping it firmly in my palm. My eyes were stern yet hesitant as I shoved the remote into a backpack filled with clothes and other stuff I needed.

I turned to my window, slid it open, and floated out of my room. Breathing in the fresh air as my hair tosses in the wind. With a big smile, I started to fly towards the woods behind the barn, making sure not to be too close to the farm, not wanting to cause any damage. As I planted my feet on the grass.

“You can’t keep me locked up on a farm forever.” I messed with the remote, tapping on some buttons until a random location appeared. A mischievous smirk twisted on my lips as a boom erupted, making a green portal appear. I didn't even get to fly in as I was sucked into its strong vortex. I hoped to see Metropolis or some familiar place. Still, when I landed on my back unprepared and crushed something underneath me with a grunt, I propped myself up to see nothing but desert and a rocky mountain.

“The hell? Where am I?” I asked as I started to sit up, looking for the remote, only to realize it was the thing that broke my fall.

“fuck!” I shouted out as I tried to grab all the pieces I could. Only to pause when I hear a loud, explosive metal pounding on metal. After cleaning up the broken remains of my boom tube remote, I floated up into the sky. Moving cautiously as I hover over 20 feet in the air over a monstrous cavity in the ground. 

My eyes widen as I see two gigantic robotic beings fighting in the cavity. However, one was slightly shorter than the other, with a yellow and black paint job. The taller one was black and dark purple, with a vibrant red visor trying to land a hit on the yellow guy, only to fail and get some ripped out of its chest. A multitude of cables followed it.

“Ugh, robots,” I grumbled, distrusting robots, as I started to float away only to hear loud, obnoxious beeping. Turning my head down, I saw the yellow bot staring at me with wide, bright blue eyes.

“Bzzu bzzu vroom!” The bot jumped wildly, waving his arms as if trying to grab me, even with the height difference. I felt uncomfortable and not exactly pleased with his actions, so I turned around and bolted away, flying like a bullet.

The yellow, worried, yet ever-so-curious bot slowed down its pace. His blue optics moved like a camera, ensuring it had footage and proof to show the rest of his comrades.
