In the town of Smallville, we see a young boy with black hair, blue eyes, and glasses outside a farmhouse, trying to jump high enough to get a kite out of the tree. Unfortunately, every time he jumps, gravity pulls him back. He then tries to properly take a stance, before boosting himself upwards. Yet, it still didn't make a difference. He suddenly hears a car driving through the road. As he turned to the sound, he saw the car was scurrying too fast. He then looked on the road to see a big pothole in the road. The boy tries to warn the driver.

Boy: Hey! You gotta slow down. There's a big pothole up there.

The driver was too distracted to hear him, as the car moved passed him. Inside the car, the driver was trying to feed her crying baby some milk, while keeping her eyes on the road.

Drivers: Just give me a few more minutes, and we'll be at Grandpa's house.

As the car hits the pothole, in began to violently spin around. The driver tries to regain control, but they were moving too fast. The boy outside sees that they were about to crash into a tree. As he races over there to help them, his eyes then glowed blue. The next thing he knew, he quickly boosted himself towards the car, close enough to use all his strength to pull onto the back, in attempt to stop it. Fortunately, the car just barely hit the tree, leaving both the boy and the driver in confusion. As the boy walks back, he looks in awe as to what he had just done. As the car leaves, he looks at his hands, wondering how he could have possibly done that. As he looks back onto the kite in the tree, he attempts to once again catch it. However, this time, as he sprints, he successfully reaches high enough to catch. He giggles in victory, holding the kite close to him. However, as he looked down, he realized he hadn't returned to the ground. This both scared and excited him.

He is now freely flying into the air, and is pretty skilled for someone who has never flied all his life. He laughs in joy, as he does some tricks through the clouds. He soars through the clouds, as he flies higher. He then stops, as he reaches high enough to see the sun. He then looked down at his home and very much enjoyed the bird's eye view. However, the look of joy turned into one of curiosity.

Boy: How am I doing this? Who...Who am I?
