And in the distance, a news channel was showing a report about Krish, after what he did in the circus and a day before tomorrow, and it was like a documentary, with a self narration and several interviews of passersby from all walks of life. And the first to answer was the girl who asked for his name with his parents.
And in Supriya's voice, the Mike holder asked.
" What do you think of Krish?" And the camera cuts to several people, one by one, who were asked the same question, and showed their reaction.
There were many people from different ethnicities and ages, different walks of life, rich and poor, from an office worker to a street wender.
Their answers were different, but their reactions were almost the same, they smiled, and then answered.
" He is a hero." Said the little girl.
" He is super cool." Said a young boy and his friends cheering.
" I really don't know, but he is so handsome." Said a young girl excitedly
" I saw him saving people in fire, he was jumping in like, woh, woh,, hear from there, it was so cool." Said the same group of young people.
" I was really scared when I heard about the earthquake, and people trapped in the subway, I couldn't understand how he did it." Said an old couple.
" I really don't believe this is to be real, but it is. I don't know what should we common people do?" Said an office worker.
" I think Krish may be an alien or something, will another alien come soon? Oh my god I'm scared." Said a woman who was in a bank.
" I think he may be a science experiment or something, I'm a science student. My teachers will really love you to see him." Said a college student in Priya's college.
" He is very strong, I was frightened when I saw the tram coming out from the river like that, was it safe?" Said a middle aged aunt.
" I think it's just nonsense, where did he get the time to change into a black suit and fitted mask. I sense a conspiracy. The newly built subway can't possibly break." Said an old looking politician.
" Well he hasn't broken the law yet. If the breaking open of an already broken tunnel counts that, sorry." Said a good looking policeman.
" Are we sure that's his real name? Maybe the girl just said it on a whim." said a random passerby.
" I don't know who he is, but my sells of mask run, very good." Said a street wender in broken English with a bright smile.
" Well I think it's not real, it does not feel real. Could you believe it? a guy who can jump over buildings and punch through, what? A tunnel. What's next? Flying?" Said a very nervous young man.
" I think he is an angel, sent by God." Said a christian nun.
" He is the answer of our player." Said a passerby at church, who looked a little injured.
" He is the child of God, came here to punish the wicked, and save humanity from mortal harm," said the Priest in white robes.
" Maybe he is just an ordinary man like us." Said a Sadhu(Indian priest) in an orange outfit.
" Why do you think he should be a Messiah who'll save you at every turn or hurdle? Maybe he's just an ordinary man with gifts." Said the same Sadhu.
" So do you think he should keep doing this? Saving people." came supriya's voice, asking the second question. And the same person who she asked before, some become quiet and ponder, and some young and energetic replied directly in yes. And some, who were mature enough, pondered.
The policeman replied.
" It depends, can I do it?"
The politician replied.
" What are you saying, he is a vandaliser, he should be punished.
The old couple said.
" We don't know."
The priest says.
" The God will shine his path."
The policeman continued.
" If I can stop something on my own I don't want him to interfere. He is a civilian, in a way."
The Sadhu, hearing this, smiles.
" Does it matter?" He asked in a gentle voice.
" What should happen will definitely happen."
And the little girl from before also replied.
" He will save me again."
And the news shifted to the accident location.
And the medical where Supriya was admitted, Supriya, Priya and Krishan all were watching this.
And after seeing this, they both looked at Supriya, who was yawning, and saw them staring at her, and then at her condition, which she after realizing curses.
" I voiced it, last night, my boss was totally profiteer. If I had a way, I just wanted to shoot him at that time. Anyways, what do you think of this video." And both laymen just nodded, not paying it much attention, what connotation and what hidden meaning, it has nothing to do with them. And she should have known what to expect from them. She sighs, and lamented that she is the only smart person in this room who's EQ is high enough to not to be deceived by high schoolers.
" I mean what to do with your Special identity." And they both looked at each other, and Priya replied.
" We are talking about it." And after hearing that, a look of disappointment flashed in her eyes, which soon vanished, and a cheerful smile appeared on her face, and she replied that she is gonna discharge soon, and she will probably eat Chinese when discharged, and throw a party. Krish saved her life two times now.
And far away in Dr Arya's office, he was lying on the ground, soaked in sweat unconscious like a dead person, when his hand seemed to shake a little. His eyes open, which seems a little more clear, and has a sharp edge to it. He slowly stood up, and looked at his hand which seemed different, and for a moment they seemed to be vanishing from his eyes, he focused on them, and saw his aging body, and the cells deep in it. He looked around and saw several things that he had missed before, and perceived things that he hadn't before. He could see more.
He grabbed the remaining blue serum, and looked at it closely, he grabbed it tightly, and then slowly opened his palm, and the tube started to float like it was in space, but under his control. He played with it lightly, and applied a little force, breaking it in half, but making sure that the liquid stays in the air, which he tried to separate in different molecules, but it didn't work. He looked at his alarm clock, which with a thought, disassembled itself, and then reassembled itself like magic. He liked liquid once again, but this time instead of separating it into molecules, he gasified them, changing their state from liquid to water. And he focused more, and it turned into a solid, which he held, and then separated it into different atoms, making it almost disappear. He reconnects them, and turns them into liquid again, and absorbs it in his body through the pores in his skin, which gives him the power to evolve more. And then he looked at the data he was doing, and felt a little dissatisfied.
" Well, I really know now how it feels to be like Rohit." And he just makes the paper disappear.
" Let's check the result." And after a few hours, he came back to his office, grabbed the recording pen, and turned on the computer with his newly found power, and started recording.
He removed his glasses, and turned them into sunglasses with his power, and wore them back.
" Well, my myopia is gone." He said and then continued.
" Ok now, things are good." He said and looked at the screen, and plugged a usb by hand.
" Things are intresting." Said Dr Arya with amusement. And a video started playing.
" My powers are not simple, or relatively simple in a way." And the video showed him disassembling brick and concrete rebars, like an orchestra, decomposing and composing things, making small structures. Then he tried doing something, he looked at iron rebar, and started decomposing it, and then he tried to separate the atoms, and he tried to change its structure, its molecules. And he couldn't succeed. It took way more effect and power. And a fine line of sweat appeared on her face.
" Well, I can see the structure. Or what we call joint and bond. I can decompose and recompose them at will, and currently my upper limit lies on my mental power, which I can feel increasing at a diagonal way. I can separate a block to his finest atom, to the last bond where he almost became invisible. I can gasify things, I can liquify things. In simple words I can change the state of metal, structures and objects. When I tried to change an atom to another, it worked, but took way more mental power than needed. I speculate that in a few years, I can literally break the metal market in the world." And he showed a 1/1CM block of Gold.
The next video starts, where he is lifting heavy things with his mind. It started with blocks, then a few more blocks, then heavy pillars, cars, cement blocks in the ground, and finally he even shook the building he was on.
" It is not teleceneciese. Because I can feel it's different, I just don't lift it, I feel it. It's not like lifting from his hand, you can feel the weight and texture, and I think if I lift it with telecencies, I could feel the texture or weight in a way, but what I feel was, the bonds." And I'm the video he literally started to change the building to a flat ground, and then transformed into his lab, and then created a stair leading to the sky.
" Well, I tried to change organic body." And the video played, where he tried doing it on wooden planks, which worked, but when he tried to do it on a living tree, it worked but the trees withered and died down.
" Well, I tried it on mice and other creatures." And he looked at the fly in the air. Which vanishes from air, and then comes back from thin air, but falls flat on the table.
" Well I can do more." And he looked at his arm, and it vanished slowly, and he felt little pain, and it came back to its place. He moves his hand, and checks it.
" My arm feels numb, and new." He said, and placed it on the table.
" My brain is growing, i can feel it."
" Well, growing is not a term I'll use."
" It's evolving." He said to himself, his face becoming a little curious.
" I can remember the day I was born, the taste of my mother's cooking. I'm becoming a little more pragmatic. My brain is like a half computer. Half because I think, I think" And he looked away from his hand.
" It's,,,,affecting my judgement." And he looked at himself. He looked at the screen, where he, after reaching the top of the stairs, just looked at the huge sky, and tried to break it. And the rainy clouds, separated in two sides, showing the hidden sun behind. And with a deep breath, he took a step, and like an invisible stair, he climbed, and slowly he climbed higher and higher. And up there, air was roaring around him, and he looked at the ground below. It felt,,,really small.
