Everybody came to the premiere of the new movie including Hal, Bruce, Alfred, Fury and others. John and Emma stepped out of the car and were flocked by reporters instantly. They were now the 'couple goals' for many people as they had been together for quite sometime and never a bad rumor came out of their love life.
Little did they know John was too lazy to even talking to other people and start a rumor. He even faced flak from Emma for being so introverted with the people whom he doesn't know anything about from beginning.
"Sir, your Umbrella Corporation would soon launch. What are your hopes for it?"
"I hope that humanity would take a better step into the future. Now that all snakes are out of the way, us as a race can advance together." John said as the trial of the people who were caught already went through and almost all of them were guilty. It was a high profile case and White House wanted to end this whole incident.
It had tarnished the image of the government by a lot as the ugly truth of politics came into light. They fast forwarded the proceedings and the trial was ended in a month.
The reporters asked other questions of the company and John happily replied. Soon they went to the movie for its screening. All went inside, the audience were excited as a new superhero movie meant another hero emerging. They have already seen the videos of Aquaman so now they would be searching for a new one.
The movie started with a baby being born to a couple, but the difference was that the surroundings were different from a typical human room. It looked colorless. The camera moved and it showed the father having a debate with few old men sitting like kings. They were the council.
"We have weeks left. I warned you harvesting the core was suicide." said the man.
"We were out of reserves. What did you expect us to do?"
"Look to the stars like our ancestors did. We have outposts spread in the universe. We can easily find an inhabitable planet." said the man. As the debate went on, there was an explosion from behind.
Few men lead by a man in a suit which looked like a commander came and did a coup. It was General Zod. He wanted the man, who was Jor-El to join him and save the planet but he refused.
Soon there was a battle between the soldiers and the people of the council. Through twist and turns Jor-El was able to escape while the war raged on. Jor-El extracted the information of the codex into the baby's body while delivering him to a small spaceship. They had decided to send the baby to Earth
"He will be an outcast. A freak. They will kill him." said the baby''s mother.
"How? He will be a God to them." Soon Zod came to them as the codex was stolen by Jor-El but failed to stop the baby's spaceship feeling away. Zod killed Jor-EL in rage but was captured by the council's guards.
At the end Zod was banished into the Phantom Zone. The camera moved and it showed the planet known as Krypton exploded by itself and ended all life on their planet. Even though the planet was destroyed it showed how advanced their technology was,
Spaceships, buildings, weapons were so high tech that the audience were in awe. Tony who looked at it finally said with a serious face
"We have to look for other inhabitable planets. I don't want a Krypton like situation in the distant future. Even with such high level of technology they couldn't save their race. What chances do we have for survival?"
"It's fine Tony. Humanity is still young. We have thousands of years still left for us to approach that cycle." John replied.
The movie continued as it showed a young man traveling. Along his travels the people got a glimpse of this man's powers. The movie also showed the man's childhood. His struggles with his powers and how his parents brought him up.
His father told him that he was sent here in a spaceship and that he didn't belong to earth. Yes. This movie was Man of Steel of Zack Snyder. John loved that movie in his previous life and he thought it was the most apt Superman ever.
The movie continued and the audience even got a bigger glimpse of his powers as he save people in an oil rig which had caught fire. He single handedly stopped a huge tower from falling on the escaping helicopter.
"How powerful is this guy? Flames doesn't effect him and now even such a huge weight doesn't even give him a scratch." Tony mumured.
"The universe once used to fear their race. I hope that gives you a context." Bruce said this time. He had been the right hand man of Darkseid for quite a long time so he had a general idea of the Kryptonians.
