Superman, Part Three

Superman decides to make the most of his new self and sets about practicing his new powers so that he can better control them. He jumps a little higher, runs a little faster, and flies above the Hollywood Hills late at night. He's also figured out that shiny green rock his brother had makes him weak, so he hides it deep in the Valley. It's upon his return home that night, as he flies in through that third floor window that his oldest brother sees him. Convinced it isn't the weed he has smoked, his older brother knows he has seen his adopted brother fly.
He never understood why his parents would adopt a son, since they already had him, and then had two more kids. He knows that if he can prove that Superman is a flying freak, his parents will see what he has always known- there is something wrong with their second oldest. He then devises various plots to out Superman. He puts cats up trees, punches holes in tires, removes fences and warning signs.
The more Superman fixes things and saves the day, the more manic his brother gets in trying to set him up. He sets buildings on fire, cuts brake lines, and yet, Superman is there to save everyone but none is the wiser as to how he got there so fast or is seemingly unhurt.
Meanwhile, Superman knows his own brother is setting these traps for him. He tries to talk to him, but his brother has become more withdrawn, constantly muttering to himself. He refuses to speak with anyone in the family, and has shunned most of his friends, preferring to sleep all day and go out at night. Superman puts his training on hold, as he doesn't want to risk being seen by anyone else in his house. Things are calmer after this, but an uneasiness has come to settle between the two brothers.

Superman, Part Two

While Superman is fleeing from the shame he will bring his family, he notices that when he concentrates he can make most of himself and the horse become invisible. He also notices that the horse seems to get quite a good deal of air when jumping over items on the ground. With this, he decides to disrobe, throw the blanket over the both of them and take to the air. Disrobing, it seems, helps him to concentrate on less items to make invisible and makes for a lighter load in flight. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work, so throughout the country a few people are convinced they have seen a man flying, or a horse flying, or a flying carpet in some cases. Somewhere over the Midwest, a man asks his wife, Ma, to get the shotgun.
Newspaper images and celebrity bloggers are running the headlines of "Producers son disappears!", "Why did he take the horse?", "Are drugs involved?", and "Producer's Missing Son Seen in Amsterdam!"
It's only been a few days since Superman decided to leave home, but he knows that his disappearance is actually bringing more scrutiny to his family as they are fairly high-profile. He makes the decision to return home, and does so by returning the horse first.
He enters his home to little fanfare. He thinks that if he pretends to just have been on a bender, he will be forgiven much easier as all his older brother's friends have gotten into some kind of similar trouble. His mother is glad to see him, his older brother merely looks at him, and his dad shakes his hand. It is his younger brother that mentions he has missed him, while his sister merely asks if he's okay. He retires to the third floor loft space that he used to build forts in with his brother. It overlooks the marble-tiled foyer, and he watches his family go on with their lives.
Newspaper images flash that the missing son is home, with no answers as to where he is been. They then flash that another starlet is in rehab and another politician has committed a crime. With that, the disappearance of a seemingly normal son of a Hollywood producer is no longer worthy of a Perez Hilton blurb.
