It isn't everyday when you walk for without reason. Some people try to think that what they do is justified to an extent. For one guy, he has no justification.
3rd Person POV
It's a dark, stary night in the City of Angels. It was silent, as if every car had stopped moving. The streets were empty but for only one. A man walking around. Tonight he was wearing a grey hoodie, with a white short sleeve T-shirt, and black jeans. He was a fan of matching colors. Right now he feels calm and he doesn't know why either. He's been angry all day, he was angry at himself. He was angry because of his own stupidity.
He was angry because he destroyed his house. Again
1st Person POV
"GOD DAMNIT!" I screached put into the quiet night. Most likely waking up the populace of Los Angeles. I'm not gonna lie, I was pissed off that I accidentally set off yet another fire in the woods. I can see the firefighters and ambulances go by, escorted by police squadrons. I'm walking down the empty sidewalk trying to calm himself down as much as possible. I was trying to focus when all of the sudden, I can feel my left leg vibrating.
'Oh no, here we go again!' I thought with dispear. I took my phone from my right pocket to see who was calling, wanting to quell my fears. I looked at his screen to view his caller.
Call From: Big B
"Shit!" My fears were confirmed, as well as my death warrant. I slowly but surely, answers then phone.
"Okay dad, I know what your thinking and its not my fault!" I said with a bit shakey.
"Damnit Clark! What did you do now?! Rub yourself against a gas station again?! My father said accusingly.
"No! I just got angry again!" I responded.
What made you angry this time? He asked.
"Well, a lot of things actually. First there was me burning my sunglasses again, then I dropped my food...." I stayed silent.
Well, then what happened? He asked with a slight hesitation.
"I got into a fight with another gang of idiots."
Then what's with the huge forest fire?!
"....It was at a gas station."
Damnit Clark! Was it the one next to your house?! I can hear him sigh with disappointment.
"I'm not apologizeing."
"That's it! You're coming back to Area 51!
" Oh come on! I just got back out into the world Dad! That crummy base is boring. Okay! I'll apologize!"
You can't say 'sorry' to ashes Clark! Now get your self back here before I get another Metahuman to do it!
"Pffft! Who are you gonna call? Superman? Batman? Maybe Wonder Woman?
If I have to I'll get the wholen damn Justice League on your ass!
"Yea, right!" I said, calling on his bluff. There was nothing but silence on the other end.
"Oh shit, your serious aren't you?"
I could hear the sonic barrier breaking. 'Ahh shit!'
3rd Person Pov
Superman was in the Watch Tower, watching and waiting for something to do. He just looked at Earth from the best view. Nothing has happened today. In a way, he was glad. He doesn't get to spend as much time to himself anymore, since him being the worlds strongest hero he has a lot of responsibility to deal with. And there was also Lois.
As the Watch Tower was circumnavigating while the world turns, Superman could see a small, bright glow in North America. Around the Western Region.
'It's probably another forest fire.' He sighed, knowing that he was needed again. He about to leave when the Watch Tower got a call. Superman went to answer it as he pressed the 'Pick-up' button.
"This is Superman." He said with his casual voice.
"Hello Superman, this is Dr. Briggs with Area 51. I need help with Borealis again." He said with a down tone.
"Well, that would explain the forest fire I saw." He said with little surprise.
Yes, could you or someone else please bring him back to Area 51, before he gets away again? He asked calmly.
"Sure. I'm not doing anything anyway anyway." He replied kindly.
Thank you again Superman. What would we do without you? He asked jokingly.
"I sometimes wonder that myself."
With a flash, he was gone and flying at high speeds, breaking the atmosphere as he entered. The heat started to spread across his body as he descended torward the Earth. Soon enough, he could here Borealis talking to Dr. Briggs.
"Oh shit, your serious aren't you?"
Superman landed on the concrete, it cracking under the amount of force he used. His landing stirred up dust and trash on the empty street. He rose slowly and looked at Borealis seriously. Borealis looked looked scared out of his mind. They both stared into each others eyes until someone gave. And its wasn't Superman.
"Okay fine I'll go back!" Borealis said suddenly. Superman smiled smugly in victory.
"I'll 'Escort you back." He said with a hint of smug.
"And how do you plan on doing that? It's not like you can carry me or anything." Borealis saw Superman's eyes gleaming mischievously. "Don't you dare! Don't you fucking dare!"
Superman flew at sonic speed torward Borealis, picking him up and flew fast enough to put out the forest fire that Borealis started. He continued to fly faster than that. He could feel the air rush past him with incredible speeds. He couldn't open his eyes or mouth. He just held on for dear life. Within ten terrifying long seconds, they were at Area 51. Superman landed with Borealis hugging him around the neck as tight as he could. His eyes were dazed and his hood blew off, revealing Borealis's short black hair. He couldn't think straight and his brain just said 'Don't let go!'
Superman chuckled at Borealis's stunned face. He grabbed his hands and unwrapped them his torso. He tried to set Borealis on his feet but he just fell back on to the ground. He tried to think of a way to undaze Borealis. After many moments, he thinks he has a way.
"Hey Borealis, Black Canary says that your cute." Superman told him with that victory smile of his. Borealis's reaction was instant.
"Really?!" He asked full of hope to Superman.
"Nope." Superman simply at him.
"Jerk," Borealis stood up from the dessert sand of Nevada. "Never do that again! I will shock you next time!" He said with his voice full to venom. He looks at the bunker door and starts to wander to its shiny steel. He sees the panel for hand and eye recognition. He puts his hand and eyes into their receptacles. The computer A.I. spoke in her normal tone.

'Yeah, nice to be back.' He thought with distain as the large, steel doors opened.
"Aren't you gonna fly off and save the world again Soups?" Borealis asked. Superman just glared.
"Yes, I have to go back to the Watch Tower now. I'll see you later." He said as he flew off into the sky.
Borealis sighed and walked back into his metaphorical cage.
Meanwhile, In Equestria
Twilight Sparkle was very happy today. No she was extoctic. She was going to Canterlott to learn new spells that the Princesses talked about. She couldn't believe that there were spells that spells that even they couldn't cast unless they were casting them together. While she was excited, she was also nervous. In the letter that she received from Spike it revealed that the Princess Cadence had sent them a list of spells that were from The Crystal Empire. They also seem to predate Star Swirl The Bearded. This is what made her nervous. They didn't know what the spells did what, so they would have to cast them one at a time.
Without knowing what could possibly happen, Twilight just had to hope for the best.
She was walking to the Train Station to Canterlott. She wasn't paying attention to what was in front of her. Her mind was flying through space and she didn't notice that she was about to bump into somepony.
*Bump* Her mind comes back to her, she instantly realized that has trotted straight into Apple Jack and her Apple stand. Apple Jack was holdinger her hoof to her muzzle to prevent her from laughing loudly out into the world.
"Ya alright there sugar cube?" She asks Twilight with a hint of concern. The made in question just smiled at her orange friend before she replied.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just heading to Canterlott to see the Princesses, that's all." She replied evenly. Apple Jack was suddenly concerned by this.
"Why would the Princesses want ya? Is there a emergency?!" Twilight just shook her head 'no.'
"No Apple Jack. I'm just going to see them to learn some new spells and they ridiculously old. The- Ring!" Twilight was interrupted by Ponyvile Tower. She suddenly realized she was going to be late for her train.
"I'm gonna be late! Sorry Apple Jack I've gotta go!" She yells as she runs for her train. Apple Jack just stared at Twilight as she ran off and giggled to her self. 'That little filly.'
She returned to her stand and continued to try to sell her apples.
Back To Twilight
'I'm not going to make it, I'm not going to make it!' She yelled at herself in her own head. She was galloping as fast as she could. She was no athlete, she was a simple alicorn who was advanced in the way of magic casting. She didn't have time to practice her cardiovascular system.
She started to slowdown as she saw the train and it was still docked. She was at the door and she used her magic to throw her ticket at the stallion and she boosted past him into the train as the doors shut. She immediately sat down to catch her breath and leaned back into the doors.
"I hope those spells are good, nopony should ever have to run that far!" She said to herself as the train started to move forward.
Meanwhile At Area 51
Clark's POV
'Walking through these halls made me fully realize that this place is easy to get lost in.' I thought to myself. I was annoyed that I was stuck here. These concrete walls are several meters thick. Ive been here so long that I know almost everything about Area 51. It was my home really. And every home needs a family. There was Dr. Briggs, my father, or a really good uncle. He was a man in his forties, Caucasian, chestnut hair and a stylish set of side burns. He always wore a white lab coat. Everyday I would wake up to see that he was wearing the same thing. And what happy family wouldn't be complete without the mother? Well, my mother was actually was the Bunkers A.I. Her name is B1-58 or as I call her, Tia.
No one really ever figured out why I call her Tia. I don't even know myself. I just thought it was easier to remember than B1-58. And of course I was there child.....sorta. It's hard to describe when you don't actually have parents to use as examples.
And no, I wasn't some government experiment to take down entire armies. No, no, far from it. I was actually saved by the Justice League from the what the tell me is 'The Injustice League.' It's such a corny name for a group of villains, I thought they were joking. But nope, they were right. The Injustice League had kidnapped a kid, killed his family, and infused nainites that were made from Superman's DNA and Shazam's lightning bolt. These nanites were made by some intelligent ape by the name of Gorrila Grodd. He injected these nanites into that kid as painfully as possible into his body, and low and behold, I was born! These nanites were allow me to live and breath now. They also allow me to stock up on energy, any type too. Be it fire or force, I can absorb it. My only disadvantage to this power is that my temper also effects my powers. If I get too angry I will release all of the pent up energy out of me at once. I have to take anger management classes, kinda works. A cool thing about my abilities is that I can release it in anyway I want to. I can cover my fists in plasma and fire our purple sprites of electricity.
I also don't need to use a plugin to recharge my phone or Mp3 player. It makes things a little better, but what's even better is that I can get into rooms that are 'Off Limits' to other personnel.
'Ahhh the great things of life!' I thought to myself happily. I continued walking down the hallway, bored out of my mind.
'Please god! Just give me something to do!' Unknown that my prayers were gonna be answered soon enough. My phone started to vibrate. I check to see the caller's I.D.
Call From: Big B
"Oh hey!" I said as I answered the phone. 'I wonder what he wants now?'
"Hey, you bored yet?" He asked like he was bored himself.
"Ummm, yes? How did you know?" I asked very much confused.
"A man's intuition. Now you want to help me with something?"
"Depends? Is it Alpha Labs?" I asked getting my hopes up. Alpha Labs is where the cool and fun stuff happenes!
"Of course! You know the saying, 'If it ain't in Alpha Labs, its no fun!
"Damn straight!" I said with the happiest voice ever!
"Hey," he said suddenly. "No cursing!"
"What?! I cursed in front of Superman, and he didn't tell me to stop!"
"Thats because he has his own problems to deal with! Now get down here before I change my mind!" He said as he hung up.
I sighed as I looked to to see a very convenient sign.
Alpha Labs: A1
"Huh that's convenient." I said in amazement as walked down the the hallway to Alpha Labs.
'I wonder what were gonna do?' I wonder to myself as I enter the lab.
I walked in to see my would be father at a fancy holo-computer. It's seemingly endless stream of cables went to a machine that I couldn't identify. Since I've spent my life down here, I know about almost all the machines in Area 51. How could this one be completely unknown to me? It looked like a square with antennas on sticking up from the corners and there was a circle platform in the middle.
"Ummm I'm here." I said unsure of what else to do. He turns around almost surprised to see me.
"Well, that was quick. How did you get here so fast?" He asked with wonder. "Do you have a new superpower of teleporting or phasing through walls?"
"No, I was just outside the lab when you called me." I replied.
"Oh, thats convenient." He said.
"I know right?" I asked incredulously. "So what are we gonna do now Doc?"
"Well," he started. "We are going to practice teleportation!" He said like a child with a toy.
"O...Kay? Does this involve that machine over there?" I asked, pointing to the square on the wall.
"Why yes, yes it does! How'd you figure?" He asked like I was brilliant or something.
"Well, It's just that I've never seen this one before. Where did you get it from?"
"Well, I have my ways," he said. "but right now I need you to shoot your sprites into the four antennas."
"Why?" I asked confused.
"Because this teleporter is supposed to send you to the Watch Tower of Them Justice League." He stated. I just started at the man like he was insane. How would this send me to the Watch Tower? It doesn't look nearly large enough to support that kind of travel!
"Okay, let's start here." I started. "How would this send me to the Watch Tower? I would teleport through space and the atmospher-" I was stopped by my adopted father's hand raising up.
"Let me quell you fears, this is alien tech. We got it from those things that came last time. This is how they got across dimensions my boy!" I stared wide eyed at him. Usually Area 51 can't get stuff like this, and we are Area 51!
"Okay, now why is the Tele-node linked up to the Watch Tower's? I asked him horribly confused.
"In case of emergency. If we are attacked by something that even you can't stop, I want you to shoot it up and run through it and tell the Justice League. This device is extremely important, and it will close behind you so who ever breeches can't follow you through. Also, you are the only one who can get through." I sometimes question why I still doubt this man in the field of science.
"That's sounds pretty cool. However, two more questions. One, why am I the only one who can go through. Two, what about you?" I asked emotionless.
He contemplates the right words to use in this conversation. He looks me straight in the eyes and gives answers.
"Well, for the first one, the reason why you can't get through is because the frequency that your sprites gives off will match the Node's at the Watch Tower. The second one is harder to explain." He is silent for the fewest of moments, it isn't before long when he answers. "I won't be coming with you obviously. I will have to stay behind and open the portal. I will seal the lab door and press the bottom. It's quantum entaglment drive will kick in and then you fire your sprites at the antennas and run through."
I stay silent for many moments before responding to his explanation. "So, when do try this out?" I asked with a fake smile. He just turns back to his computer screen and says, "Tomorrow, at noon. Rest easy son."
"I will, dad" I said solemnly before leaving the lab. We never spoke to each other like family, so this was our only chance to say to each other about how we felt about each other. Him calling me son and vice versa, really ment something to us. I walk down these desolate halls once more, to my room. It was about a five minute walk to get their, there was another hand scanner at my door. I p!aced my palm into the scanner.
Scanning...
Welcome Back Borealis. How was the outside world? she asked with her monotone, computer voice that I know and love.
"Just fine Tia, just fine" I said casually as I went to my bed and face planted into the mattress. "Good night Tia."
Good High Sir, Sweet Dreams.
And with that I'm out like a light.
Meanwhile In Equestria
3rd POV
Twilight Sparkle was looking out her window, waiting for the train to stop at Canterlott station. It had only been an hour since her departure from Ponyvile. She kept wondering what spells could've kept from not only her, but the Princesses as well. It almost seemed unfathomable to think that the Royal Sisters didn't know something. This was going to be a girls night out for them.
'Well,' she thought' I'm about to find out for myself!' She stepped off the train and into Canterlott Station. She trotted torward the castle grounds, walking past ponies enjoying there Ruler's bright, warm sun. She walked by the Royal Gaurd, letting her buy into the throne room. She trotted own the red carpet to see her mentor, Princess Celestia and her sister Princess Luna sitting there prestigiously. Like true Royalty.
Twilight ran straight for them and stopped I. Front of Princess Celestia’s throne, and bowed respectfully in their presence.
"Twilight, we are both princesses now. There's is no need to bow before me." Celestia said to her.
Twilight immediately stood back up and blushed. "Yeah right., sorry." They soon began a giggle fit. "It's fine, but now that your here-"
"We can try those ancient spells that you found?!" Twilight interrupted Celestia. In turn she just chuckled at her usual perkiness.
"No," Twilight's jaw hit the floor. "At least not until tomorrow. I have your old room prepared for you Twilight, rest easy." Twilight kinda perked back up after she heard that.
"Oh, okay." She started to walk to her old bedroom. Luna noticed she seemed a little down. "Is there something wrong Twilight Sparkle?" She asked slightly concerned for her odd behavior. Twilight just glanced back at Luna.
"It's just that these spells are so unknown. If you don't know what they do, and didn't even know they existed in the first place, we have no idea of what they could do." The Princesses knew where she was coming from, and they know she had a point as well.
"We understand your concern Twilight Sparkle. We too know of the possible consequences that these spell tomes possess. However, if one of these consequences were to unfold, we know that we would be able to stop it. We would have to."
Twilight nods in understanding and trots off to bed in her old room. She lays on the mattress, pulls the blankets up to her neck and falls away to a blissfull slumber.
