Chapter 3: Ch.: 3. Successful Escape, Saved, Kimberly Heart, Dead to World
*Boom
Jet exploded the moment homelander rammed in it.
A small escape pod sizeabout 2 meters height, 1 meter wide and 40 cm length, fell toward earth from sub orbit, tearing through fire caused by explosion.
Homelander didn't caught anything about a small pod escaping under him, because of explosion, it was so loud that even homelandersl's ears were covered from any activity for a while.
"I will destroy you Vought, Homelander, Stormfront, and anyone related to you, so that you will found yourself begging on the road and making show on road to earn a bit of money to eat, you will regret it, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" Manav cursed homelander and vowed to avenge himself, suddenly a pain enveloped Manav's brain and he screamed with his mind going blank.
Escape pod's speed was very fast and manav designed it be like make no sound when escaping or falling, almost zero sound.
That's the bonus that neither homelander not stormfront noticed the escape pod.
In few minutes escape pod fell between the cracks of mountain and slammed on the water pond between the mountain crack.
A girl who just came to mountain saw this and ran towards mountain crack.
She came to the edge of mountain crack which was very deep and saw water in pond steaming at high amount.
She ran down the mountain and turned to another direction and ran between the hole between mountain.
And she came directly in front of the steaming pod.
She tried to look what fell in water, after a few hard squints she saw a shiny thing in water, which was ascending the waters slowly.
After a while a two meter height metal pod came in front of her eyes and was floating on water.
She looked at it curiously forgetting anything strange about that why a metallic pod came crashing here and she should inform police or another people.
After few minutes a hissing sound came and a cold air was sprayed outside through few games opened in metal pod and water nearby started to cool slowly.
Another minute took the spray to end and pod has swam to edge of pond.
Girl walked toward that edge and looked at the pod, recording it with her mobile.
The pod's upper part started to open in many parts and girl saw a man of same age as her sleeping inside the pod.
"Indians are the aliens? What a discovery!" Girl cracked a joke and approached the pod.
This was super hero world and she was one of super hero fan, so she didn't doubted anything strange abouta man falling from sky with advanced technologies escape pod or something.
"Please Miss take host to safe area." A robotic voice sounded after it scanned girl with a white transparent light.
But girl didn't know that she was scanned, just now.
"Umm okay, I suppose who you are?" Girl asked back after nodding.
But no voice came after a few minutes, so she sighed and pulled the man out of escape pod.
"Huff Huff (panting) I don't know that this heavy looking man to be really heavy, I practice regularly, if not I can't even drag him out of this pod." She complained panting to herself.
"But this man really looks familiar where have I seen him..." Girl muttered looking at man.
*Ding

"Huh? Who messaged me this time?" She took out her phone from pocket and looked at strings of messages floating on her screen.
And there was a cow symbol on back of her phone.
Suddenly a hand took her phone and threw it in the pond and pulled her down and hugged her from back and sat on her holding his hand on her neck.
"Ah! What are you doing?! I saved you just now out of kindness and you're hurting your saviour." Girl moaned in pain and yelled at man sitting on her back and holding her neck.
"Tell me your name and who are you? Where am I? If you dare to say a word of lie, I will kill you and drown you in this pond tying you to rock,so you can't swim back up." Man said with threatening her fighting his grip on her neck slightly so she will become more intimidated.
"Woah woah woah, please don't kill me, I will tell you, my name is Kimberly Hart and this is Angel Grove, you're on angel mountain." Girl named Kimberly said with panic and fear on her face.
She have never faced this situation and she will never save anyone from now in future, specially the ones who fell from sky or came out from the earth tearing apart the ground.
Man loosened his grip and stood up and stepped aside from her and looked at her sitting and clearing her body while looking at Man with angry expression and piercing eyes.
"Well sorry for earlier treatment, You know I was on my jet flying through the sky and a super human came flying and rammed in my jet tearing apart, I escaped very hardly." Man apologized raising his hands in air.
Girl put her hand on ground to stand up, because when man pulled her to ground her leg was sprained.
Man saw this and stepped forward to take her hand to help in standing up.
Girl tried to throw away man's hand l, but man forcibly held her hand tightly and pulled her up from ground.
"You're really very much, once you're trying to kill me, next second trying to help me, weirdo." Kimberly said with anger on her face.
After standing up she threw away man's hand and tried to walk away.
"Ouch! My leg, this is because of you, you pulled me down and my leg is sprained now." Kimberly yelled at man with painful moan blaming him of her sprain.
"Well sorry for earlier treatment, as for now I know you're a good girl." Man said with sorry expression.
Man stepped forward and helped her up again and Kimberly didn't refused his help this time and took his hand.
Man supported her to walk toward the exit of this enclosed pond or mountain crack.
"And your pod or something? What if someone finds it." Kimberly asked man, maintaining her distance but still holding his hand for support.
"Oh this, turn disintegration mode on, code I like you~!" Man said with bit of tone.
"Are you really ordering your pod to disintegrate or proposing to me." Kimberly asked with suspicious expression.
"Both." Man said in very low voice.
"What did you say?" Kimberly asked after not hearing clearly what man said just now.
"Oh I am saying just to my pod, not you, how can I like a girl with just a first meeting, we have to go on date, go to parks or restaurants, some scenic places, etc. eat icecream together, drink with two straws in one cup, or something, but first of all you have to agree and I think making you agree is not that easy for me." Man replied to Kimberly.
"You threw my newly bought phone in pond, you know it was launched just today, and was top tech smartphone in whole world, and all products are limited in quantity, now I have to wait for another month before another batches of smartphones are delivered to branch shop." Kimberly suddenly remembering her smartphone, yelled at man with anger exuding out from her.
"What company?" Man asked to her.
"Cow industries!" Kimberly replied angrily.
"Well looks like it is really rare here in Angel Grove and very few branches are opening in U.S., but don't worry, these shops have a prize vending machine, if you can try it and win you will get much more advanced cow mobile" Man replied to her and telling her a way.
"And as a sorry for earlier treatment, I can tell you a hack to win the smartphone." Man said with mysterious expression.
"What! There is such operation, tell me quickly!" Kimberly was very excited when she heard man, taking out a hidden information.
"Well first, I have to find a place to live and a secret one, where no one goes, I am definitely dead in this world now, so." Man said to Kimberly.
"Okay I will find you a place, till you have to stay here in this mountain crack, no one comes here, only I am daily visitor here." Kimberly said and leaving man's hand and stepping forward, her sprain now reducing slowly.
"Ok, than listen the hack, go to that machine, there is arrow pad and joystick on vending machine, you have to pull the joystick with force and move it while pulling it, and be aware of your surroundings so no one suspects you, that you're cheating." Man instructed her and sat on the clean rock beside pond.
"This is my bottle and few biscuits you can eat them until, I came back after few hours." Kimberly said handing Manav a water bottle and a biscuit packet opened with few biscuits missing.
"Okay, come early." Man said and waived to her.
After a while, man was sure that she has left he lay directly on stone with ease.
"So I met Kimberly heart now, I was thinking of meeting her and others in future, that's why opened my shop branch here in Angel grove with difficultly, and few other places so there will be no suspicion. Now I have to stay hidden, I am already declared dead in this world by now, I have to make plans and strategy to defeat vought and everyone connected to them." Man thought to himself.
"And because of emotions high on jet, I seem to have activated another power, but who to try on, I can't try it on human, if I failed they will be probably brain dead." Man said to himself.
...
On the other side.
Kimberly entered shop and said few words to female staff pointing towards vending machine, she bought a 10 dollar ticket and walked to vending machine.
She tried the hack told by man to her and won the phone.
But she wasted more than dozen minutes in shop, because of not being suspicious.
She won the phone and walked out of the shop, refusing the staff to take her photo for being a first winner of vending machine with top reward of advanced cow smartphone.
She arrived at her home and changed clothes and bathed.
After coming out she sat on her bed after changing new clothes.
She logged in her phone with newly bought sim and texted her family who was on trip to Hawaii that this is her new sim.
She downloaded social media apps and logged in, and found messages piled on her message section.
She opened one of the messages and saw a video opening on her screen.
'The youngest chairman and founder of Cow Industries is dead, killed by unknown supervillain, homelander and stormfront was sent to rescue him, but plane was destroyed before they can save him, homelander fought with supervillain and threw him in space after a hard fight.'
The phone slipped from kimberly's hands and fell on floor.
Only good thing is that phone is made with a military grade metal so there was no scratch on it.
