Up above the rooftops of Metropolis, a portal opened and unceremoniously spit out a teen in a Superman costume, before shutting again. Clark tumbled in the air a bit before righting himself. He wasn't certain what was going on. The last thing he'd remembered, aside from a blurry mess, was that he'd been somewhere above Los Angeles, rescuing a plane. He turned around, trying to get his bearings, and suddenly stopped.
He might not enjoy the Superman comics, but years of having them foisted upon him meant he could recognize many things in them by sight alone. The famous globe of the Daily Planet was one of them.
"What." Clark said flatly. He looked around, some more, enhanced vision picking out the Lexcorp Towers and Centennial Park.
"This can't be happening. I can't be in Metropolis. How am I in Metropolis?"

"Don't lose hope, son. Some of our scientists, like Dr. Pym, are already looking for our lost allies out there in the Multiverse. I'm sure they can try to find your home universe, too. In the meantime, the Defenders have more than enough resources to help you and we wouldn't leave you to fend for yourself in a strange world."
Especially with the state of the world right now.
Superman took his hand off the teen's shoulder and sat down next to him, clearly wanting to be on his level and reassure him.
"We'll want to do a security screening, since you're new to this world, but as long as your story checks out, you'd be welcome in Defenders Tower. We do have a teen team that the Defenders train and mentor."
As strange as the situation was, and as much as they'd want to be cautious and make sure this wasn't some sort of strange trap or villains trying to infiltrate the Tower with an inside agent - or a boy who was a time bomb like Prime - they weren't about to leave a minor out in the cold.
