Chapter 2: Alone
Walking back to my shelter after the school ends is quite lonely. I space out most of the time until I hit someone on my way. And then I look around, around at all the people just walking past me, laughing, crying and full of life.
I just sigh and move on. So disconnected from the world I can't even remember the faces of people I've just met. Going through the motions sometimes I feel like I'm in an acid fuelled dream, one from which I can't wake up from.
Walking into the slums gave a much more familiar feeling, being born poor twice in a row man I'm unlucky. But that's the thing about pain, it's a pain I've suffered all my existence so I remember it's and weirdly this pain is comforting and relatable and the only reason I haven't lost my mind.
Walking inside my "house", I threw my bag aside and just sat down on a chair and kept staring at the ceiling. That's my routine, go to school, score passing marks, come back home, stare at the ceiling, go to the part time job and go to sleep.
I once tried using drugs to pass my time... didn't help much, it just made more disconnected than I already am, Anti depressants didn't work and I don't have the money to afford therapy, which even if I did won't really be of much help.
But there is still one thing that causes me to actually be able feel anything other than depression, it's that fuvking staff.
I kept screaming and begging hoping that it would send me home... even if for a second... just to see if my mother was fine... is it too much to ask for...
But it seems, day by day I am starting to loose hope.
*Beep*Beep*
"hmm? It's time for my shift? Hours just seem go by so quickly.", standing up from my chair and checking the alarm I went ahead and my clothes.
I had placed alarms, calendars, post it's every where so that I remember to do stuff cause frankly I can't bring myself to care enough about things to remember stuff, there is even a post it on my toothbrush that says "brush your teeth twice a day cause I can't afford a dentist in case of problems" written on it.
I worked at a fast food joint, though I don't remember which I written it down in my notepad, I work as waiter there.
And I today seemed like a rambunctious day. People were talking about something related to the Guardians of the Globe, which got me curious as I presumed it to be the Mauler Twin incident.
"Hey Danny what's up with all this talk about the Guardians?", I ask my co worker.
— "Will you don't know!! The Guardians died!!"
"Oh the Mauler Twi— Wait what the fuck!! The Guardians died?!?!", surprised by the fact that such a thing happened and only now do I hear about it.
— "Yeah!! Omni Man was the only one who survived."
"Well... shit!", seems like I really let go of myself in my depression but wait a minute, if the Guardians are dead the next thing that happen—
*Boom*Boom*
*Screaming*Cries*
'Ah fuck that one hurt', I looked outside only to see the flaxans pouring out of a portal and just blasting the people to pieces.
"Fuck Fuck Fuck!!! Get up Danny!!", I moved to see if Danny was alright cause the entire building had collapsed due to the bombs. But I only saw his legs while his upper body was crushed under the debris of the building.
I freaked out a bit and backed up only to see the bodies of families under the rubble.
The gruesome scene reminded me of the shit shown in the Saw movies. I made my out of the pile of debris somehow, my heart nearly in my throat the entire time and a sick stomach with me trying my best to not throw up.
The pandemonium outside was rampant as the people were being shot to pieces like fish in a barrel.
I was just standing there, shook completely. My eyes looking at the horror unfolding without blinking once.
— "No don't!! LEAVE US ALONE!! SOMEONE HELP", the cry for help reached my ears breaking me out of my stupor. A woman shielding her child as the flaxan walked towards them with his gun pointed towards them.
"No You don't Fucker!!", I jumped on the flaxan throwing his gun away from his grasp. I applied my weight on him trying to hold him down so that they escape, "Run!! FUVKING RUNN!! *OOF*"
The bastard just punched me straight in the face and all my effort was nullified.
The Flaxan started just really kicking the shit out of me. After a couple of broken ribs later the Flaxan picked his gun and aimed it right on my head.
"*cough*cough*Huff* What the fuck is this deja vu *spit* beaten to death twice.... well just make it quick you green anorexic Baldy...", getting up to my knees I looked at the gun with not as much of a hint of fear.
But the bastard just hit me in head with his gun and as I raised my head up again I saw him take aim the woman running away.
'Where are the heroes?? Yeah that fuvking alien killed them!.. Omniman you scum... why the fuck is this happening again... I'm all alone...', these thoughts stared flashing through my head as things started to slow down.
— "Get up boy... you are my son... don't ever give... don't ever bow down... stand your ground... even if all the world is against you... even if you are all alone... always remember I'll be standing by your side..."
'What is this? Is it my life flashing before my eyes? I'm sorry mom... I gave up... I won't anymore...', with every fiber of my being I forced my broken body to get up, raise my fist and scream as high as I can....
"SHAZAM"
*BOOM*
Smoke surrounded me and as it cleared I saw that the head of the Flaxan was now hanging on wrists as I just punched through his skull.
The sudden increase in my height caused a little imbalance as I had to gain my stance.
*Pew*Pew*
The Flaxans immediately took note of my presence and started firing towards me.
I just stood there, holding my ground, nothing they did could harm me; neither their guns nor their bombs.
"My turn now"[Flaxan Language]
*zapp*crack*BOOM*
Generating "Living Lightning" from my finger tips I blasted a large section of army into ash. It was my first time however, I had to limit myself from using such volatile power so recklessly.
I looked towards the rest of the Flaxan army but I spot a guy in bright yellow suit with goggles,
Invincible [Title Card]
I thought to myself, as saw him just sitting in a crater all dazed while he was about to be shot at.
Moving at 1/3 of the speed of light I easily made it between him and blast. Looking up I saw a redhead with pink aura surrounding her arms.
The "Teen Team" had arrived and was now dispatching the Flaxans and saving lives while doing so.
"Invincible. Take the old to a hospital, I've got the situation covered.", saying that I joined the fight, ripping apart the Flaxans limb by limb.
And soon they started ageing and ran back to their portal. We had dispatched about 90% of their forces and the casualty records of the civilians totalled at 300.

A/n:- Yo readers, how you doin.
I hope y'all like the character development cause I plan on making a heroic MC not a self-righteous MC. The reason behind because lately I've been getting really bored and tired of "edge" especially when I saw the "Let there be Carnage" trailer. Man that bored the fuck out of me, Marvel really tries so hard on making Carnage cringy just look what they did with him in the "King in All Black" storyline. They killed him then revived him and gave him some bloodline shit and he's now called something along the line of shadow dargonic Carnage or something I can't remember and be really bothered to look it up, at first I thought it came out of some wuxia novel.
But rest of the storyline was amazing. Loved it.
Anyways see you soon.
Bye
