8 Powers
"Nooo!!!!!" They both shouted in unison.
They both hated school. Home was much more interesting or at least that was how it was for Clark. James didn't care about school, he just didn't have the energy to deal with the children in the school.
"No you both stop it, we have discussed this, you guys are definitely going to school whether you like it or not," Martha said sternly as she grabbed the two in each arm and left for the bedroom to dress them up
"Hmmm, I don't like school" Clark whined as he hung from her arm
"Don't worry dear, you will make some friends soon" Martha replied as she dropped the two on the floor
"Ok who wants to go play in the playground" Martha shouted knowing her two children
"Me!!!!!" The two shouted in reply.
James may deny it all he wants but deep down, he knew that he was changing and he was changing fast.
He didn't know if it was because the Kent's were just excellent Moral code teachers or something like that, or it was just because he was still a baby.
Most wouldn't realize how linked the physical and mental are. Babies learn at an exponentially fast rate, everything they see, they copy and learn.
At that stage of one's life, they were basically like a supercomputer with a 10G network as they absorb everything they see or hear especially for the both of them who had a naturally increasing intellect, the longer they stayed under the 'yellow' sun.
The Kents were a kindly and warm-hearted couple while James though was kindly and warm-hearted too, years of working a dead-end job as well as putting up with the world as an average man had made him extremely numb to certain things.
It may not sound as bad but James would bypass an ongoing murder even if he could help just because it wasn't his business.
He may call the police later on but God knows the did have long since been done.
However, now under the care of the Kents, all those long-forgotten morals, and codes of conduct, his parents had instilled in him were all reawakened.
He may be a grown man but his body was still that of a one-year-old and no matter what he did, his body still accepted everything they taught it even if he didn't like it.
The past few months had been pretty normal to James, except that he had somehow learnt to manipulate the surrounding gravitons to achieve flight.
James didn't know how he managed to achieve this even without awakening his super senses yet but James liked it though he still came up with multiple theories that would explain his situation.
One theory being that due to Krypton's high gravity, they may have developed some organ that allows them to move around easily.
As seen with Clark in all forms of media, this organ or mechanism was usually the last to awaken because he had no use for it on Earth.
He may have somehow awakened the mechanism beforehand.
The theory sounded good and all but it wasn't so for the other Kryptonians as they all spent some time before they started flying.
Of course, there was also Zod and his elites, who were known to have achieved flight just several hours after being exposed to the 'yellow' sun.
The theory was indeed a good one but James thought this was probably something that had to do with his mind or mentality.
Ever since he woke up in this body, James had dreamt of flying through the sky just like Superman does and his body probably adjusted to grant him his wish.
However, it didn't matter to him in what sequence he awakened his powers.
It mattered to him that he was awakening them even as early as possible so he could take advantage of them as much as he could.
One such abuse of power was his midnight flight into the atmosphere to absorb more sunlight.
His parents had accepted the fact that James could take care of Clark even at night so they became lax in their checkups so James used the time he had to fly out of the house.
Of course, since he had yet to truly awaken most of his powers like his super senses that would allow him to sense radio waves and such.
He ensured that he flew all the way to the middle of the ocean before he took off.
Then there was the most recent discovery, Gravitons.
When they say that Kryptonians can manipulate gravitons to fly, nearly everybody just ignores the fact that these people are using their gravitational field to go against the gravitational field of the world and the environment around them.
Each Kryptonian who learnt how to fly was also manipulating gravity though it was personalized gravity, it was still gravity at the end of the day. They were manipulating one of the fundamental forces of nature just by learning to fly.
It's even funnier that none of them has ever noticed the potential behind this little ability that allows them to fly.
Yes, they could fly but they could also use it to slow down or speed up objects within the range of their gravitational field.
They could become immune to the effects of gravity on any planet, even Krypton, though for a limited time because of the 'red' sun.
James knowing all of this had of course tried practicing all these, coupled with the natural bio-electric aura that made him invulnerable to most things.
James was practically on Superman's levels of invulnerability even as just a baby.
In order not to stunt his growth in any unforeseen way, James would make sure to trap as much air in his graviton bubble that allowed him to fly and then force his way into space though not too deep into space.
James made sure that he would only reach a distance a little further from the satellites thus syncing himself to Earth's orbit.
This would allow him to absorb a larger amount of cosmic radiation than while on the planet and at the same time, prevent him from getting lost in space, should anything happen to him.
