American Comics: Starting from the Invincible Young Hero

Chapter 19 Firecracker Girl: Are you my fan?
The promotional video is a clip from the live broadcast of the welcome party for the new member Xingguang who joined the Super Seven.

Russell looked up twice, not caring much.

However, some pedestrians in the busy square stopped and pointed curiously.

On the giant screen, the superhero Xingguang, wearing a white and gold interwoven, elaborately designed super suit, walked from the end of the red carpet with a bright smile.

Along the red carpet, a galaxy-like light burst out, and the flashes of hundreds of cameras lit up at the same time tore a blazing white rift in the night sky.

The air seemed to be ignited, and every inch of space was pulsating with electric excitement.

"Starlight! Look this way!"

“Left! Left!”

Shouts came from all directions like a tide, reporters' arms were raised like a forest, and the cameras reflected countless star-like figures - each one was flawless, and each frame was full of star quality.

The flash lights flickered wildly, forming a dazzling sea of ​​light. The figures of the stars appeared and disappeared in this silver-white storm, like the goddess of light walking out of mythology.

Just a few days ago, Starlight was a little-known superhero, but in the blink of an eye, as soon as the news of Vought Corporation's selection of her to join the Super Seven was released, her popularity quickly soared to the top of the world.

Now Xingguang doesn’t need to dance or sing, she just needs to wave her hands gently, and the media and traffic are fanatically obsessed with her.

"--It has been my lifelong dream to join the 'Super Seven'!" The clip of her being interviewed by the host was played again, and her voice was transmitted to every corner through the speakers in the square.

"She is so beautiful..." A girl in the square looked up at the screen and exclaimed enviously.

"I heard that she was the champion of the Youth Super Hero Talent Show when she was a child. She really deserves it!" another passerby echoed.

"Haha, well-deserved..."

On a park bench not far away, several empty beer cans were scattered around. The firecracker girl stared at the screen, her face a little drunken, and a sarcastic arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.

I don't know whether he was laughing at the flawless, glamorous stars on the screen, or at her miserable self.

The star-studded laughter in the promotional video pierced her eardrums like a sharp knife.

——Why?
It's really funny. A bitch who used to deal with her competitors by slandering others for sleeping with old male judges when she was a child did not get any retribution, but instead turned into a goddess that everyone envied.

And she.

I have worked hard for many years to surpass Xingguang and one day avenge my previous defeat, but now it seems impossible. I don’t know what the point of my past persistence and hard work is.

"Don't be too obsessed with the characters in the plot. This is a real world, and there are more flying superheroes than just a few. You can check it out. Information about those celebrity-like superheroes should be available online..."

Russell was just thinking about this when a drunk and staggering woman walked past him. The strong smell of alcohol wafted past him, making him wrinkle his nose.

The man did not walk away. Instead, he stopped when he saw his drunken eyes light up. A female voice pretending to be mature and sexy came into his ears.

"Hey, I'm drunk and can't find my way home. Can you take me home, boy?

I can teach you things you can’t learn in school.”

"Get out of here!" Russell glanced at the hand on his shoulder and reached out to push the drunk and lewd woman aside so as not to disturb his thoughts.

When I looked up, the blue and red battle suit that hugged her curvy figure looked familiar.

"Firecracker Girl?"

Long brown hair, a pair of flowing almond eyes, a high nose bridge, and a beautiful face with a bit of classical beauty.

She doesn't look like someone cosplaying as Firecracker Girl.

"Oh? You know me? Are you my fan?" The firecracker girl actually sat directly on Russell's legs, put her arms around his neck, and teased him face to face in an aggressive manner.

"you're drunk?"

In the plot, the extremely shrewd firecracker girl actually got herself drunk. Russell looked past the firecracker girl and saw the star-studded figure on the big screen behind her. He found the answer and smiled lightly.

Yes, not surprising.

What is more painful than one's own downfall is that when one is down, one's enemy happens to be in high spirits and at the peak of his life.

"I'm indeed drunk. Do you have the guts to take me home, boy?" Firecracker raised his chin and looked down at people condescendingly, deliberately provoking their anger.

"How about going to your house?" Since someone took the initiative to come to his door, Russell smiled coldly.

He won't be polite.

You can figure out which superheroes in the world can fly later.

……

“Where am I, my head hurts.

Water, I want water..."

The early morning sunlight poured in through the gaps in the curtains. A hand stretched out from under the white quilt and fumbled around on the bedside table. Firecracker had a splitting headache and his throat was dry as if he hadn't had water for several days.

Especially if there is pain in more than one place on the body, what is going on?

A glass of water was casually handed to her.

Firecracker looked up along the arm and saw a young man wrapped in a bath towel. He had handsome features, a slender figure, well-defined muscles, and a tight waist. He looked like a sturdy cheetah, full of explosive power.

"When he's wearing sportswear, he looks like a student. You can't really tell he has muscles."

Everything came back to him, and Firecracker took a sip of water and lay back with a sigh.

It didn't matter anymore. There was no point in persisting for so many years anyway. She would never have the chance to retaliate or laugh at that woman again.

At least the boy was good, young and strong.

The Firecracker Girl sat up and looked at the young boy in front of her. His muscles moved as he walked, showing a perfect combination of strength and agility.

Oh, and endurance...

The firecracker girl pursed her lips.

"What's your computer password?"

But when the young man, whose name she didn't know yet, took her laptop and leaned it against the bedside, trying to turn it on, he acted as if no one else was around, as if he was the master of the house.

The firecracker girl frowned slightly.

Some images of hooligans who were still in high school but were often short of money flashed through her mind, but she still gave out the password.

"I didn't expect you to still be... huh? I'm a little surprised." Russell skillfully tapped the keyboard to search, while busy with his own things, and said casually.

This casual tone, like that of a scumbag, made the firecracker girl feel a bad premonition.

Talking about this, the firecracker girl seemed to have a stress reaction and couldn't help but speak in a sarcastic tone.

"Why, surprised?

How can a bitch who's willing to sleep with several older men just to get into a talent show finals when she's in her teens still have chastity?

"It was Xingguang who spread rumors about you, right?"

His eyes reflected on the computer screen, Russell said without turning his head.

His calm tone seemed to know what was going on from the beginning, which surprised the Firecracker Girl and made her hesitate a little.

"Are you...really my fan?"

Regarding her childhood, Firecracker Girl tried to clarify things many times in the early days, but those clarifications were drowned out by the strange looks and pointing fingers that followed her wherever she went, and she had become powerless to get used to it.

I stopped doing useless work and just focused on running my personal blog.

Many people follow her blog, but few really believe that she was slandered. People tend to believe what they are inclined to believe.

The news about a teenage girl sleeping with a group of older male judges in order to enter the finals of a talent show is quite shocking.

It is interesting only if it is true, and it can satisfy people's dark psychology of curiosity.
