The two quickly arrived at a restaurant, ordered food, and began to eat. Kara was both happy and nervous that Su Zhan was a Zhenren (Immortal) and not just her fantasy; she felt a little overwhelmed, as this was her first date with a man.
"Emergency Broadcast: Nathaniel City Airlines Flight 237, en route to Geneva, is losing altitude. Its engines have malfunctioned, and the pilot appears to be circling the city, attempting an emergency landing. May God bless them!"
A breaking news report suddenly appeared on the restaurant's television.
"Did he just say Geneva? Alex…" Kara asked Su Zhan, and without waiting for his reply, she turned and ran out.
Alex was her sister, or more accurately, her adoptive sister.
She was on that very flight, so Su Zhan could understand Kara's actions.
Su Zhan paid the bill and left. Outside, he quickly spotted Kara running down an alley. Uh, her current actions were quite uninhibited; she was running and taking off her clothes at the same time…
Of course, she wasn't like Superman, stripping off his outer clothes to reveal his iconic red briefs; she was merely taking off her coat.
Su Zhan saw clearly that Kara was running very fast and jumping very high, seemingly preparing to fly. For so many years, she had tried to be an ordinary person, a normal person, and had never used her Ability. Now, she seemed very rusty! After several attempts, she finally flew up, stumbling and staggering. Then, her excited shouts could faintly be heard in mid-air. After watching her circle a few times and getting accustomed to it, she suddenly accelerated and disappeared. Only then did Su Zhan change into his battle suit, turn invisible, and follow her.
Soon, he saw the flight. The left engine was on Fire, and it looked like it wouldn't last much longer.
If it crashed, not only would the city be damaged, but the people on board would likely not escape death.
He saw Kara. Kara flew to the left side of the plane, holding it with both hands, trying to lift it. However, she hadn't adapted or, rather, recovered her Ability, so it was a bit strenuous. With a "click," her hands dug into the plane. Gritting her teeth, she used all her strength and finally managed to stop the plane's descent, stabilizing it.
Kara breathed a sigh of relief, but then suddenly saw a large bridge directly ahead. At her current altitude and speed, it was impossible to clear it. She immediately panicked and desperately tried to lift the plane, but it wasn't that easy. As the bridge drew near and the plane was about to collide, she suddenly felt her hands lighten, and the plane seemed to lift. She turned her head in surprise and saw that the plane, along with herself, was surrounded by a layer of dark green energy. It was this energy that was lifting the plane.
The plane safely cleared the bridge and then slowly descended onto the Water, gliding for a long time before finally coming to a stop. Kara emerged from the Water and stood on the plane's wing.
At that moment, a helicopter's light shone down, and everyone saw Kara emerging from the sea. Alex, inside the plane, was no exception. Looking at Kara, Alex's expression was complex, but soon… she widened her eyes in surprise.
She saw another person!
And she recognized his identity immediately: Green Lantern!
Kara also knew about the Green Lantern's identity, as she worked at a media company. She just hadn't expected the Green Lantern to appear here and help her! Seeing Kara's stunned expression, Su Zhan smiled lightly, then a ball of energy enveloped Kara, and he quickly flew away.
"It's you… you… you're actually the Green Lantern!"
Kara came to her senses, looking at that unforgettable face, and shouted in surprise.
Chapter 0206: Super Hero First Lesson
Looking at the excited Kara, Su Zhan stopped and then withdrew the energy from Kara's body. Kara might not have reacted in time; the moment the energy was gone, she immediately fell. Su Zhan was stunned for a moment, then quickly rushed down and caught Kara.
"Are you alright?" Su Zhan asked with concern.
"No, I'm fine." Kara felt so embarrassed, but… she was mostly shy now. "You, you can let go of me now. I definitely won't fall this time."
"Let's not. It's better to be safe, and besides… opportunities like this are rare." Su Zhan smiled and shook his head, then flew away while holding Kara. "Tell me where your home is."
Kara quickly told him the location, and moments later, the two had arrived at Kara's home.
After landing, Su Zhan released Kara.
Kara's clothes were soaked, clinging tightly to her body. Uh… her curves were indeed quite good!
Drip, drip, the carpet quickly became wet.
"Although you won't easily catch a cold, you should still take a hot shower and change into dry clothes. We can talk later," Su Zhan said to Kara.
Kara nodded, hurried back to her room to find a change of clothes, and then went to shower.
Su Zhan, meanwhile, put away his battle suit and casually sat on the nearby sofa, waiting, and observing Kara's home.
How to put it, although it was very tidy and well-organized, it still felt messy! It seemed Kara was indeed more ordinary than the average ordinary person when it came to being one!
Suddenly, Su Zhan heard the sound of a key in the door, followed by the door opening, and a woman with short, capable hair walked in. The woman was startled when she saw Su Zhan, but quickly recovered. "Where's Kara?"
"In the shower!" Su Zhan said.
"My name is Alex. I'm Kara's sister."
"My name is Su Zhan."
"I know who you are. Logically, I should thank you for saving me, but I'd rather know what your intentions are with Kara!" Alex walked closer to Su Zhan and questioned him in a low voice.
Su Zhan shrugged: "What do you think my intentions are?"
"I don't care what your intentions are, but I warn you to stay away from her!" Alex said in a deep voice.
Su Zhan smiled: "You're a diligent sister. I can understand your desire to protect her and to let her live a peaceful, ordinary life, but unfortunately… some people are destined not to be ordinary."
"Alex, are you alright?"
At that moment, Kara came out after her shower. Seeing Alex, she excitedly ran over and hugged her.
"Ah!" Alex exclaimed.
Kara quickly apologized: "Sorry, I used too much force. Uh, I was too excited. I did it, you did it! Although… although it was with his help, I still did it! I haven't flown in so long, I almost forgot how to fly."
Looking at the excited Kara, Alex frowned and said, "Kara, I think we need to talk."
The serious tone made Kara freeze. "Talk, talk about what?"
"Of course, it's about you, but before that…" Alex turned her head to look at Su Zhan.
Su Zhan pouted: "Alright, this is a sisterly talk, so I'll be leaving first. Kara, if there's a chance later, I'll treat you to dinner. But… this is the second time you've ditched me, I hope there won't be a next time!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was too anxious then," Kara quickly apologized.
Su Zhan, however, smiled and waved his hand, then turned and walked to the window, flying away directly.
Su Zhan didn't need to hear what Alex would say to Kara; he could guess. It would be nothing more than hoping Kara would continue to be an ordinary person, and perhaps telling her to stay away from him. Although Alex outwardly appeared to be a biological scientist, she actually worked for the Supernatural Action Bureau. She knew his identity, so it was natural for her to suspect his intentions with Kara. Although her attitude towards him wasn't friendly, she was worried about her sister, which was only human nature. However, while Su Zhan wasn't annoyed, if given the chance, he decided he would get a little revenge!
He found a hotel and checked in. Su Zhan released his Aether Particle to continue devouring.
Devouring Aether Particle was a very long process; whenever he had free time, Su Zhan would take it out and devour it.
The next morning, Su Zhan woke up to a knock on the door. Clearly, this wasn't room service. He walked over and opened the door, and was somewhat surprised to see who was outside. He had thought it would be Alex, since she should be able to find his location easily, as he hadn't deliberately hidden it, and he expected her to come and warn him about something. He hadn't expected it to be Kara!
"How did you find this place?" Su Zhan invited her in, asking with some surprise.
"Uh, my eyesight is pretty good, so…" Kara said sheepishly: "So, you also know I can fly… I'm not an ordinary person!"
"Hmm, and then?" Su Zhan looked at Kara.
"You're the Green Lantern, you're a Super Hero, so I thought, maybe… you could teach me how to become a Super Hero, so I can save more people, like…"
"Like Superman?" Su Zhan interjected. "I don't know what he or your sister thinks, or if they agree with your decision, but you yourself, have you really thought it through? Being a Super Hero isn't that easy!"
