Blue Boy Scout is back
By Ilovegirls
I know I should have worked on my Hero's Angel story, but I did loose interest after not contacting a friend of mine. Instead, I give you this. A story about the greatest hero on earth. Despite everything you may think about your favorite anime, He is still the American favorite. I wish to warn you though about the fact that you need to see Superman's return the movie before reading the whole thing. It might reveal few spoilers from the movie.
Part 00
The rescue team arrived quickly on the crash site. The police arrived first to do some crowd control around the unidentified object that landed wildly on Earth. It was the first time in years that such an accident or meteorite passed the defensive system. Luckily, the object landed right outside the city limits. No one was close to it and no casualties were known.
When the experts arrived, they were surprised to find a rocket shaped capsule for having caused all this mess. The model was different from the ones used by earth, but the technology was similar. As it was a rocket, the rescuers deducted that there maybe was someone inside. They were right. After meticulously open the spaceship, they found a man inside. He did not look very old or too young either. He had short black hair and was dressed only by a rag blanket. The man did not looked injured, but they transported him to the hospital to seek to his health.
The man woke up in his room in his hospital chamber. He seemed a little confuse of what happened. The room he was in seemed very different than what he expected. The technology was far more advanced than what he had been told. When one of the two guards at their post noticed the outer-space visitor woke up, he called the doctor. Soon after, a tall man in a white suit came in. He was dressed with thigh cloths, long vest and many buttons on it. A mask and a pair of white sunglasses prevented anyone to see his face. Even his short spiky hairs were white. An immaculate health preserver the stranger thought.
Do you realize you had to wake me up to make me take care of you, yelled the doctor.
The patient was shocked that the first talk would be so loud. He hesitated to ask anything from now on. Nonetheless, he did not want to miss an opportunity to show his witty skills.
Are we in a hospital? Because if we are, I really think you should lower your tone a bit, replied the stranger.
I am the doctor here so I do as I please. And I demand apologies for the trouble you brought to me!
But... Isn't it your job to cure the patients without asking anything in return? Which by the way I thank you for helpin...
Silence! Our sensors predicted us that you should be in a coma! Why aren't you asleep, asked aggressively the doctor.
Why does it bother you? You should be happy that I am safe and sound.
NO! Because as far as we know, you could be a spy! Crashing right outside the city. Have you no shame? What is your name?
My name.. it's... Hum... Clark Kent, said the stranger.
LIAR! Clark Kent was in reality Superman! And he died more than a hundred years ago! You are in serious trouble! After we figure that you are well enough to follow an interrogation, you will leave this room immediately for a better-suited and cold cell!
After those accusations, the doctor left the room after whispering something to the guards. The stranger figured that he did not have much time left. He thought for himself this:
"Superman dead? Well that explains why he did not returned. The doctor seemed proud that Superman was dead... I guess that what he warned us about was true... People of earth really lost faith in him. The situation here is worse than I expected. There is still something I don't understand. He did not mention the fact that my rocket was far more advanced than the technology here. Then again this room is very advanced from what I have been told. Maybe Kal-El shared his secrets before dying. I need to get out of here to see more. And I need to get out quick!"
The stranger got out of his bed and walked silently to the door. The guards did not notice him. Suddenly they heard a womanly voice far in the corridor screaming.
Help! The prisoner is escaping!
After quickly looking in the room through the door's window to verify the truth, they found no one. Not even the real stranger crouched behind the door.
The guards quitted their post to go see where the scream was coming from.
After the guards had left, the stranger made sure they were gone before leaving in the opposite direction. "Good thing that I can throw my voice..." he thought before leaving.
In the morning, a nurse was on cleaning duty outside the hospital. Once she left her attention from the trash of the ground, she noticed a young man alone toward the raising sun. He was wearing a hospital jacket. She walked to him and asked him what he was doing outside so early in the morning. The man only gave a long and very deep breath for an answer, still toward the sun. When the nurse became impatient, she insisted to him to give her a clear answer or she would call the guards. The man looked at her, smiled softly and said:
Blink!
The nurse did not understand at first but subconsciously obeyed. When she did blinked, the man had completely disappeared. She ran back to the hospital to warn her superior.
The beginning of a new legend was born. It was only unfortunate that it had to start by rumors mentioning the disappearance of an outer-space intruder.
