Chapter 12 - Arrival on Earth II

I walk around the town and slowly start relaxing as I looked for a shop store.

I look up at the bright sun and I feel it's ray's.

I can feel my body becoming stronger faster than when I was exposed to the rays of the yellow artificial sunlight.

I felt like flying straight up into the atmosphere and bath in the sun's rays but I decided against that for now.

Because of the public which may somehow end up in military action.

A lot of people were giving me casual stares.

Most likely because of the foreign posh clothes I was wearing.

Eventually, I arrived at a clothes shop.

Entering the shop, I was welcomed by a female attendant in a business attire.

I asked her for a set of clothes suitable for me in English and she immediately showed me a few pairs.

I tried out the clothes in the changing room and they fit me well.

Guess the female attendant is a professional because she sighted out clothes that fit me with only a glance.

I told her I would take them and she told me the price.

It was at that moment that I realized, am broke!!!

Well you cannot blame me on Krypton all I had to do was ask and I would receive as simple as that.

Thinking of how I could pay for the clothes, I got struck by a great idea.

Why don't I just get a dollar and I put it in the replicator?

That way I will never be broke and I won't have to work so hard in that department.

I could not help but laugh at my own bright idea.

But how can I legally get a dollar?

I looked at the female attendant and asked with a small smile

"May I have a dollar please?"

Adding the 'please' so that I could succeed in my current endeavor.

The female shop attendant looked at me curiously then gave me a dollar.

I took the dollar with a 'thank you' and walked back into the changing room not forgetting to close the door.

After closing the door, I used my superspeed powers to slowdown everything in my perspective.

I opened then door and looked at the female attendant.

Seeing that she was not moving or was in slow motion, I walked out of the changing room and once again closed the door.

I then ran all the way back to my ship.

I stopped using my super speed powers and tapped my amulet causing the ship's door to open.

I then flew to the ship's replicator and place the dollar that the female attendant had given me on it.

A blue light then emitted from the replicator on the the dollar which I believe was the replicator scanning the design of the dollar.

An interface screen having a design of the dollar appeared before me.

The interface had options like single copy and multi-copy.

I tapped the multi-copy option and another interface having numbers appeared before me asking me to insert the number of copies I wanted.

The replicator is relatively easy to use.

I inserted 10,000 and immediately after 10,000 copies or dollars appeared separately.

I grabbed 5,000 dollars and flew out of my ship.

I once again tapped my amulet and my ship closed then I landed on the ground and used superspeed to run back to the clothes shop.

I opened the door to the changing room and entered then closed it again. 

All this took about 5 minutes to do.

I stopped using my superspeed powers and walked out of the changing room while pretending like I had been looking for my money.

I gave the female shop attendant enough money for the pairs of clothes she had prepared for me then she packed them in a paper bag.

She handed me the paper bag and I asked her about Metropolis the city where Kal-El better yet Superman is most likely to be.

She replied "Oh, are you one of those people who want to meet Superman?"

"I guess you can put it that way." I replied.

She gave me a knowing look and told me the direction to Metropolis.

I walked back to my ship while thinking about what the female shop attendant had said.

From the way she had spoken, looks like Kal-El has been Superman for some time now.

Then something must have happened because technically am supposed to be older than him and am not yet a man.

Midway of walking to my ship I got bored and used my superspeed powers to reach my ship.

I tapped my amulet and my ship opened then I flew in.

The doors to my ship automatically closed after I entered the ship.

I flew to the bridge and took control of the ship's controls.

I followed the female attendant's instructions as I flew my ship to Metropolis.
