Hearing Homelander's cold laugh, Queen Maeve said nothing more.
She felt that something was not quite right.
Why did The Flash run all the way from New York?
He's not A-Train!
On an out-of-control plane.
Just as someone was about to be swept out of the cabin by violent high-altitude airflow, he was intercepted by an invisible wall of air at the moment he was thrown out.
The unbalanced air pressure was simultaneously cut off. A tall figure appeared out of thin air in the cabin, helping the still-shaken man to his feet.
"Thank you. Thank you."
The panicked passengers also saw Jordan's sudden appearance. Some realized he was also a superhuman.
"Are you here to save us... or to kill us?!"
Someone asked a desperate question.
Jordan pulled down the brim of his hat, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"What Homelander can't do, I will."
"Those whom Homelander couldn't save, I will."
Seeing the astonishment and doubt in people's eyes, blue psychic power spread from beneath Jordan's feet to the surroundings.
In the blink of an eye, the cockpit window that had been damaged by hijackers was fixed by the deployed force field. The breach disappeared. The air pressure inside the cabin completely stabilized.
Although the plane's altitude could still be felt decreasing, it was clearly not the abnormally turbulent stall dive from before.
"Alright, everyone. This flight will be landing on the east coast of the United States in a few minutes."
"Now, let's talk about what happened before."
"Has anyone just taken a picture of the majestic Homelander with their phone?"
Having just experienced dramatic ups and downs, the passengers, realizing they might be saved, looked at each other in bewilderment.
Immediately, a hand was raised.
"I got the picture!"
With the first person taking the lead, more hands followed suit and were raised.
"I took a picture of it too."
"I also captured some footage!"
Let's expose that demon!
Looking at the agitated passengers, Jordan couldn't help but wear the same roguish smile as Butcher.
The people's hearts can be used!
Homelander, with Queen Maeve in his arms, watched the teetering plane gradually disappear into the distance.
After a long while, the plane drew ever closer to the ground, yet it still appeared to be teetering on the brink of collapse.
"Maeve, how long can a stalled plane continue to fly?"
"Uh... I don't have any knowledge in this area."
Homelander nodded. Although he considered himself the most perfect superhuman, what he was seeing seemed to touch upon areas where his knowledge was lacking.
"Then just wait."
Vought Tower, the Vice President's Office.
Madelyn turned on the television on the wall, a confident smile on her face.
Before long, news would be broadcast about Homelander and Queen Maeve's successful rescue.
The phone rang. Madelyn stopped her daydreaming, turned around, and picked up the phone in a good mood.
"Boss, you'd better take a look at the current trending topics online!"
Ashley's anxious voice came through the phone. Madelyn clicked on the webpage impatiently. "Calm down, Miss Ashley. What can't be done..."
"Back off! All of you back off! Or I'll shoot you all dead right now!"
The familiar voice coming from the computer left Madelyn completely stunned. Looking at the shaky screen, she saw a blond man with glowing red eyes. Who else could it be but Homelander?
Upon seeing this, Madelyn's blood ran cold.
Why is Homelander making such threat?
Anyone could see that those he violently pushed away were clearly passengers on the plane. Civilians who had been hijacked!
What exactly happened on the plane?
She numbly clicked on the next trending topic. The webpage that popped up showed more than a hundred individual live streams with similar content.
The owners of these livestream rooms were originally just ordinary people with virtually no fans.
However, their livestreams quickly attracted a large amount of traffic, to the point that the platform bundled them together to form a multi-perspective livestream group.
The livestream featured a passenger plane that had made an emergency landing on a beach, and two figures, one in black and one in blue, facing off in the sky.
Time goes back to ten minutes ago.
East coast of the United States.
A plane that had gone off course continued its dive toward the deserted beach. A collision seemed imminent.
However, there was no panic in the cabin before the crash. The passengers felt no shaking at all, as if the plane was still flying normally.
"Okay, everyone. Please log in to your respective social media accounts and turn on the livestream function."
"Now, the world will turn to you. Whether Homelander and Vought Corporation can be exposed depends on yourselves!"
Encouraged by Jordan, the passengers logged into their respective social media accounts and started livestream mode.
Some people whose phones were out of power quickly plugged in their data cables to charge, afraid of missing their chance for revenge.
"Get ready. It's time for us to land."
As he spoke, Jordan flew out of the cabin, his body crackling with electricity.
Homelander, who was holding Queen Maeve, narrowed his eyes and locked his super vision on the black figure wrapped in electricity flying out of the cabin.
"Jonathan Joestar!?"
Queen Maeve was somewhat puzzled when she heard Homelander blurt out those words.
She doesn't have Homelander's super senses, so naturally she can't see Jordan, who is dozens of kilometers away.
Sensing Homelander's almost fiery gaze from afar, Jordan turned his head, waved amicably as they made eye contact, and took off his God of War baseball cap at the same time.
The force field suit began to be put on. The dark red cape fluttered in the wind.
Under his super vision, the scene of Jordan's transformation was crystal clear. At this moment, Homelander's eyes were bloodshot. He could feel a phantom pain in his cheeks.
Enraged, Homelander, carrying Maeve, suddenly accelerated and charged toward the beach.
Jordan flew to the bottom of the passenger plane and raised his hand to support the belly of the plane.
The biomagnetic field spread and expanded throughout the entire aircraft. With an exertion, Jordan restored the tilted fuselage to a horizontal position and landed it steadily in his hands.
It's just lifting an airplane. Is it really that difficult?
The force field held the plane aloft and placed it on the beach. Then Jordan flew off.
The rescued passengers exited the cabin via the ejected emergency slides, cheering with relief at the black figure in the sky.
Behind him, a loud sonic boom approached at high speed. Jordan smiled and waved to the crowd, then turned around mid-air and threw a punch.
A moment ago, Homelander was still far away. In an instant, he was right in front. The two equally powerful fists collided precisely as if attracted by magnets. The air currents pierced through their fists, carrying away both cloaks and Queen Maeve's chestnut hair.
She was shocked to discover that Homelander's powerful punch was actually intercepted!
Moreover, the opponent did not appear to be injured and even had energy to spare!
