Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Karen strikes again!

"You learn quickly" Steve Rogers said as he slightly breathed heavily.

"I have very good muscle control" Superman said.

He has asked the captain to teach him how to fight with technique.

"Good thinking, A good technique can help you punch up to three times harder than if you were to simply brawl. The same goes for kicking." Captain said.

"Thank you for teaching me." Superman said.

Superman has perfect muscle control, meaning that he can essentially control his body very precisely, making him a machine in learning martial arts.

He felt it himself as he punched with proper form, his punching almost tripled in power and his speed also increased.

Although he hasn't even tried to punch at 1% of his true power. The last time he went all out was in his fight against the Hulk.

"HEEEEELP MEEE SUPERMAAAAAAAN" His super hearing picked up a voice screaming for help.

"I need to go" He said as he flew away.

He once again arrived in the village near the great Canyon. There he found a woman, with shoulder length hair, laying on the ground. She had glasses, and the back side of her hand rested on her forehead.

A lot of people surrounded themselves around her trying to be of help.

"Don't touch me, this is harassment, only my Superman is allowed to touch me I tellya'!" She said as he landed a few meters from her.

His eye twitches at this. 'why is her voice so familiar?' Superman tried to remember if he had seen her face before.

The people made way for him, and as soon as she saw him, her face brightened up.

"Ah, superman, please help me, I'm in dire need of help I tellya'. From a hero with strong arms, big muscles and a tight...." She didn't finish but everybody knew what she meant as they followed her eyesight to Superman's tight bum.

Superman really felt awkward at this moment, this is a first for him.

"How can I help you mam" he said politely

"Superman, You need to help me, I was severely attacked and someone stole something important from me." She said very dramatically

"Are you harmed" Superman said seriously, ready to carry her to the hospital if needed.

"Yes, my heart hurts, because you stole it from me I tell ya'" She said while a tear fell down her face.

The surrounding people just looked completely aghast at her.

"Wait, I remember her! She's Karen that was interviewed for the mental hunk case!" Someone said

"Oh yeah she became a meme" Another said.

"Superman, only you can help me I tellya' please give back my heart!" She proclaimed her love for him.

"Ah sorry Mam' there's someone in need of help!" He said as he flew away instantly not giving her any time to speak.

'I think that was my greatest challenge so far.' Superman thought.

He flew back to his parents place, hoping to regain his energy with the best food ever, his mum's food.

He flew to his room, the windows always slightly ajar, he opened it and went inside, putting on normal clothes over his suit.

He heard a lot of people downstairs.

'Do they have guests?' Kevin thought as he walked downstairs.

"And I swear, by the oath of the stars."

"And by the oath of the moon."

"And by the oath of Mars".

"And by the oath of my own doom"

"And By the oath of the green skin"

"And by the oath of the spaceships tune"

"That I'll search for the alien kin"

"From Hong Kong to Berlin"

"As the first chief of the F.O.R.G.E.R.S I hereby welcome our newest member to the "Family Of Real Green Entity Researching Sect."

Kevin stopped as he heard the chant by all the people downstairs. And the last part was said by his father... He really didn't want to know about this so he silently went back up, flew down from his window, came to the front door and knocked three times.

"Mom, Dad! I, Kevin B. Collins, am back" He shouted for his parents to hear.

After silently counting to three, he stepped inside.

He heard some shuffling as he was walking inside and there, a dozen or so people sat, looking at him as if they had something to hide.

"Ah darling you're back, why didn't you call, we had a.. uhmm..". His mother said nervously.

"A book club meeting" His dad finished for her with conviction.

But Kevin wasn't convinced, he saw the green alien masks that everybody was hiding behind them, And all their ominous, green robes also gave it away.

Suddenly Kevin was shocked by a familiar face. It was the woman with the claws and ability to regenerate.

She stood up and passed him as she looked outside the window, looking up at the sky as if searching for something.

Her brows furrowed, she seemed to smell something familiar. Her eyes went back to Kevin, and stopped for a second before looking outside searching for something.

"That's Laura, She moved here to Branchville just a few days ago." His mother introduced Her.

"And this is my son Kevin, he isn't part of our book club" She said to Laura, subtly hinting at the fact that Kevin's didn't know about their family of real green researching sect...

Kevin pretended to be ignorant, he really didn't want to be part of this.

Looking around, he saw many familiar faces. The mayor, Mary the flower shop owner and other important people of Branchville.

I was just going to grab something to eat, but I just got a phone call, I have to go. Good luck with your... book club." Kevin said as he hurried away.

On his way to his apartment he saw another group of frost Giants causing chaos in the middle of New York. The police are doing their best to support spiderman and Daredevil.

Superman flew down and took down the frost Giants, gaining all attention.

Spiderman went from a brave, quirky hero to a nerdy, shy, nerd. "Superman, I've been searching for you, not that I've been literally searching, I mean, I just wanted to meet you, not in a strange way or anything."

Superman could almost see his blush from outside the red mask.

Daredevil just nodded at him as he escaped the scene. The police profoundly thanked Superman

as the people clapped their hands.

'I gues I just stole the scene from Spiderman and Daredevil' Superman thought.

Just as he was going to fly away he saw that he was actually Infront of a bookstore, that had posters of his books. 'Goblet of Fire, The return of the king and The da Vinci code' as the posters had his signature C.K¹ under it. 'Maybe I should release another book' Superman figured as hedft the place.

Whenever he flew by, people looked up and shout for him.

When he arrived in his apartment he got a call from his mother, Elena had fought with their parents and left the house in anger. His mom asked him to update them if Elena contacted him.

About one hour later he heard a knock on his door.
