After explaining the situation to the passengers in the cabin, Roger received both good news and bad news.
The good news was that there was indeed someone among the passengers who knew how to fly a plane.
The bad news was that this person was a student who only had theoretical knowledge and had never actually flown a plane before.
Regardless, Roger had no choice but to work with what he had. After all, they only needed someone who could control the plane's stopping and landing; Roger would handle everything else.
Bringing this novice pilot to the cockpit, Roger found that Maeve had already established contact with the control tower. Seeing Roger bring someone in, she asked:
"Are we letting him fly the plane now?"
"We have no other choice! Have him try to slow down the plane, and I'll attempt to lift it from below!"
Roger shouted to Maeve.
Homelander's strength was immense, and lifting a plane wasn't a problem. The only concern was that, unlike Superman, Homelander didn't have a bio-field. When lifting the plane, under its enormous weight, Roger could easily pierce through the middle of the aircraft.
However, for now, this was their only option. If it didn't work... well, they'd have done their best and left the rest to fate.
Having agreed on their roles with Maeve, she took out the oxygen mask from the cockpit for the civilian, then moved the two corpses sitting in the pilot seats and sat in the co-pilot's seat herself.
Seeing this, Roger took a deep breath, turned, and walked out of the cabin. He addressed the worried crowd outside:
"Everyone, please stay calm. I promise I'll do everything in my power to save you all. You'll be fine, so no matter what happens next, I hope you can remain calm!"
Roger's reassurance was effective. People believed Homelander would save them because that was the image he portrayed on screen.
They viewed Homelander as a god-like figure, an angel sent by God to save them. So when Roger reassured them, the passengers in the cabin were no longer nervous. Some even cheered for Roger.
"Homelander! You can do it!!!"
"You're the best! You'll definitely succeed! Go for it!!"
These people were blindly optimistic, seemingly believing that Homelander would certainly save them.
The passengers' trust weighed heavily on Roger's heart, but he didn't let this show on his face. Instead, he continued smiling as he opened the cabin door and flew out again.
However, the moment he closed the door, the smile vanished from Roger's face. He moved beneath the plane, flying close to it, his expression grim as he tried to place his hands on the bottom of the fuselage.
At first, there was no reaction, but when Roger applied a little force, trying to lift the entire plane, the metal of the fuselage immediately dented inward!
Seeing this, Roger didn't apply more force and quickly stopped his action.
"Shit!"
Cursing anxiously, Roger already felt the plane starting to tilt forward, gradually descending. It seemed that the novice in the cockpit and Maeve had taken control of the plane.
It looked like Roger might not need to try to hold up the plane after all.
But just as Roger was thinking this, he noticed the plane's forward tilt becoming steeper and steeper. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before the plane crashed into the sea.
Seeing this, Roger quickly ran to the front of the plane and shouted through the broken windshield to Maeve:
"What's going on in there?!"
"Part of the control panel has malfunctioned!!!" Maeve shouted back at Roger.
It was the ricochet from when the hijacker fired earlier. It had hit something and damaged part of the control panel. Now, although the control panel looked intact, when they actually tried to use it, they found the plane was completely out of control!
An experienced pilot might have found a way, but right now they had two flight novices and one who had only studied some theory.
Even worse, their communication with the control tower was intermittent, with an unstable signal!
"Dammit!"
Roger cursed again, inwardly swearing at how unlucky they were.
He stopped trying to communicate with Maeve and returned to the bottom of the plane to repeat his earlier actions.
This time, he tried to press his entire body against the plane, attempting to increase the contact area so he could lift the aircraft.
However, after a few minutes, Roger found it still wasn't working. The plane's underbelly continued to dent, proving he simply couldn't perform the feat of lifting an entire plane. After all, he wasn't Superman.
Roger didn't give up. He closed his eyes to think for a moment, then moved to the area near the plane's landing gear, trying to support the plane from there.
The plane's tires were designed to bear the entire weight of the aircraft, with high material toughness and strength. Perhaps this could be a breakthrough point.
Perhaps because the plane had been in landing mode, the landing gear was already extended and exposed. Roger took this opportunity to grab the gaps in the landing gear and continued his efforts.
However, supporting a plane at three points was fundamentally different from supporting it at one point. It might work initially, but as time passed, Roger felt the plane's landing gear showing signs of breaking.
"...No wonder Homelander gave up in the original story."
Having tried every method without success, Roger finally understood why Homelander had abandoned an entire plane of people in the original story.
Although Homelander was indeed a bastard, he always hid his true nature in public. He wanted more attention, more fans.
Saving an entire plane full of passengers would undoubtedly boost his popularity significantly. If there had been any possibility of saving these people, Homelander wouldn't have given up.
But he did give up.
This proved that even with Homelander's power, it was truly impossible to save an out-of-control plane.
So should he give up too?
Roger closed his eyes. He recalled the people on the plane, remembering the little girl whose eyes were full of hope and who was still cheering him on before he came out. Finally, he clenched his fists and made a decision!
He wasn't Homelander!
What Homelander couldn't do, he might be able to... no, he must be able to do!
He had to save the people on this plane. Otherwise, this incident would haunt Roger for the rest of his life. So he placed his hands on the plane again and closed his eyes, trying to sense something.
Bio-field.
The only key to saving everyone on this plane now was the bio-field!
Or perhaps it would be more accurate to call it a bio-magnetic field.
It was because Superman had a bio-field that he could lift planes or buildings, and carry ordinary people at supersonic speeds without causing them any harm.
Homelander appeared not to have a bio-field, but this was only on the surface. He should actually have one, otherwise he couldn't fly.
It's just that Homelander's bio-field was very weak, so weak that it could only allow him to fly and nothing else.
So Roger was now trying to activate this bio-field within him.
This was easier said than done. Superman's bio-field had become his instinct, freely used to lift objects countless times larger than himself, naturally protecting the people he saved.
Homelander couldn't do this. He couldn't even sense his bio-field, and if he couldn't sense it, he obviously couldn't activate it.
But Roger wanted to try. Not only try, but he had to succeed. The lives of hundreds of passengers on the plane depended on it!
"You can do it... you can do it..."
Continuously encouraging himself, Roger tried to sense the bio-field within him. He imagined a special energy spreading from his hands and enveloping the entire plane.
Roger thought it would be very difficult to control, but when he actually tried, he found that something really did flow out from his body and begin to envelop the plane he was touching!
The bio-field!
Roger opened his eyes in astonishment, his gaze full of disbelief.
He had thought he might awaken a bio-field, after all, Homelander originally had this ability, just too weak for him to value.
But he hadn't expected it to be so easy, and for the range of the bio-field to be so large!
In his mind, if the bio-field could support even part of the plane's undercarriage, he would consider it a success. However, now it had enveloped the entire plane!
"This isn't Homelander's ability..."
For some reason, Roger thought of the Superman model he had picked up when he first crossed over, and he suddenly felt an immense certainty in his heart.
This was not the ability of Homelander. This was Superman's ability.
This was Superman's Bio-Force Field!!
