Chapter 30: Chapter 29 The meeting and the video
David glanced at the hand and the president for a few seconds before he extended his hand out and firmly shook the presidents hand.
"Please have a seat" he said with a smile.
David simply nodded and sat
"Superman, Are you human" The president asked.
To David, this was basically glorified interview
"No I am not" David said causing the many people watching to be extremely shocked.
The word floated around that he was Alien but there was never any confirmation.
Now in front of their very eyes, David confirmed that he was indeed not human.
If one were to look at David's Biology there was no way, he was human, his cells could literally absorb the sun's radiation and give him power.
The president took a deep breath as he adjusted himself on the seat.
"Why are you here on Earth" he asked
"I am from here, born on Earth you should have my records correct, President" David asked looking at him.
Who chuckled nervously.
"What is your goal on Earth" he asked.
David was silent for a while as he thought about what he should say.
He was here, he was building a team to protect Earth, he wanted his name to reach the far reaches of the Universe.
With all his brain, David struggled to finalise a answer.
"Whatever my purpose is, it will only bring benefit to the civilians" David said receiving silence from the president who along with several other people all around the world understood what David was hinting towards.
And it was not something that would benefit them who were already in power.
"Do you respect the autonomy of the Governments?" The president asked.
David took a moment to consider his response, sensing the significance of the question and the expectations behind it.
"I respect the idea of autonomy," he began, choosing his words carefully, "but true autonomy is built on a foundation of security and stability. If any government seeks to harm its people or undermine peace, my priority will always be to protect the innocent.
And if a threat were to arise threatening the peace of the civilians, I will take care of it to the beat of my ability"
The president's expression grew tense, and a murmur spread across the room as those watching tried to interpret David's words.
Was this a declaration that he might challenge existing authorities?
The president leaned forward, his voice more serious. "Are you saying you would take action against any government that you deemed... unjust?"
David's eyes met the president's steadily. "My actions aren't about control or power; they're about safety and justice. If I act, it's only to defend the rights and lives of people who can't defend themselves."
Silence hung in the air, heavy and filled with unspoken questions. This wasn't just an answer—it was a message.
"You fancy yourself a Vigilante?" The president said.
"More like a Hero" David replied.
"We don't need a hero" The president said making his position clear, he was here not only as the president of USA, he was here representing the Un.
This statement made the leaders of the several countries position on David clear.
They did not want David.
"Well then" David said as he stood up.
"You can try and stop me"
Shooting up into the sky David flew away leaving the president coughing from the dust.
The camera went dark as several news reporters came on screen all of them seeming to have a genral consensus.
"Superman was a dangerous being"
Some people pointed out the fact that, they couldn't control Superman so that's why they slandered him.
And some argued that they were right to Slander him if they can't control such a powerful Alien.
But these were only the people in power, politicians, owners of business and such.
In the end as some time passed, various debates began springing up, in real life, on news and various online forums, one side stood with the people with power as they shared similar ideas with them while the rest were ready to take a risk on Superman and supported him.
Even if he was Alien.
A large amount of people stood on the side that, He was Alien and could have just been lying as here was no proof he was telling the truth.
This was an opportunity The Un had taken upon the suggestions of the president to try and bring David to follow the laws of there respective Countries.
And if David wanted to do something, a majority of the Un would have to give the green light.
But that clearly didn't work out as David flew away mid interview.
Meanwhile David had arrived inside Tony's Mansion and was currently looking at the two.
"Let me clear something between the two of you" David said.
"Steve, Bucky is still alive" David said.
"What?... no Bucky can't be" Steve said feeling a little caught off guard.
"He was captured by Hydra" David said as he glanced at Tony "The people who attacked me with missiles" then turned towards Steve.
"They transformed him into a mind controlled Super soldier puppet essentially" David said.
"What does that have to with me?" Tony asked a little confused.
"Hydra used this puppet version as a weapon to kill Howard and your mother, Tony" David said.
Silence filled the room for a few seconds as Tony stared at David without any reaction.
"I don't believe you" Tony finally said confidently, he knew that his parents died in a car accident and they weren't killed.
"I have the Video" David said as he threw a USB towards Tony who quickly began making his way to a port on his holographic table.
As tony Inserted it
"Jarvis play the video on it" David said causing a video to appear.
This video displayed the events of the night his parents were killed by Bucky.
With his mask on and metal arm it was hard to identify who it was, but the Tony took David's word for it
Meanwhile Steve immediately recognized Bucky.
The video in a black white form and fuzzy, but Tony could easily identify his father.
He watched as Bucky pushed Howard to the door of his car when he exited to face Bucky
Resting against his car Howard tried to talk to Bucky who paid no mind as he began hitting Howard's face, punch after punch until his face was bloody and his body wasn't moving.
They stood there and watched as Howard lose his life, going limp and his eyes lifeless
There was no noise but all of them could hear the thumps of the punches.
Tony could barely contain himself, his blood was quite frankly boiling.
David watching this video and also felt immense anger at Bucky.
But he knew who deserved his anger and it was not Bucky.
Tony, Steve and David watched as Bucky dragged Howard and put him into car making it seem like it was the accident that killed them.
Out of the cameras view, Bucky stepped towards the passenger side and although out of site, it was clear that Bucky did something similar to his mother
