Barely a week had passed since Brandon brought down the commercial plane onto "his" family farmhouse, destroying his house he was raised in, and the plane. killing everyone on board

Since then he had destroyed all the buildings in the small town of Brightburn, killing everyone in a gruesome manner and forcing the state of Kansas to cordon off the town

By now planes were instructed to avoid the airspace above Brightburn after another 3 airplanes crashed into the town killing all on board

The military had surrounded the town with the army, including tanks and planes

Brandon had clashed with them several times, killing many army personal, but he somehow yet stayed in the town

In Caitlyn Connor's room, the girl whom Brandon once had a crush on, and who "betrayed" him and he crushed her hand in turn, lay near death on her bed 

After keeping her alive for nearly a week, he finally forced himself on her, raping her and ultimately killing her

What a waste, he thought. He genuinely liked her. Nevertheless, she was breathing her last after his cum shot through her body like buckshot, exiting wounds from her chest and neck. But her pretty face remained, albeit contorted in pain

He used his hand to close her eyes as the life finally left her body

Since the plane destroyed his home and family farmhouse, it destroyed the alien ship that he was found in. This meant that the only thing in the world that could wound him was destroyed. It also meant that he no longer received calls from the alien craft

Because of that, he had regained some of his human sanity and was feeling a little bit regretful

He still regarded himself as superior to normal humans, and didn't regret killing all who stood in his way or betrayed him. But he had always had a genius intellect and he knew it would have been better if he didn't reveal himself this early

The home he shared with his parents was actually the best place to stay hidden. But now, the nation's military surrounded the town and he had to deal with all the hostilities

It would have been better if he grew and started controlling the world from behind the scenes, rather than outright have to face the entire world like this

He turned to look at Caitlyn's naked body, and was about to skin and dissect her, as he did to her mother, when he suddenly heard a weird "swoosh" sound

Before he could wonder about what that sound was, suddenly a black man wearing a black leather suit burst into the house

The man punched Brandon before he could even don his mask and both were smashed through the other side of the house

"What the fuck? You're a kid?" the man said as they tangled in the air

Brandon was shocked as he had never been hit so hard before

But he retaliated immediately as his eyebeams shot at the other man

"Yow!" the man said, avoiding the beams in mid air and hitting Brandon again in the face

Brandon kicked him away and flew another direction, landing on one end of the field as the man landed on the other side of the football field

"Who are you?" Brandon asked, feeling his hurt jar

"Hancock. You are the cause of the Brightburn incident?" Hancock asked

"Brightburn incident? You mean my revenge on these pathetic inferiors?" Brandon asked in return

"No regrets, huh? I can see why the government called for my help" Hancock said as he flew at Brandon

"Die" Brandon said as he flew at Hancock in return

As they clashed, a concussion wave spread outward from their impact, destroying Caitlyn's house, the only house still standing, as well as put out all the fires from the destroyed buildings around town

But Hancock was a fully grown man, who has years of experience being a superhuman crimefighter, while Brandon had only just discovered his powers not too long ago

Hancock mounted him and hit him a few times before holding down his arms

Brandon wasn't harmed at all, but he was overpowered by Hancock, and was having difficulty moving as he was pinned down

"Calm down, Brightburn. Seeing that you are a kid, you might get leniency. But your atrocities.... damn!" Hancock said

Suddenly, Brandon shot his eyebeams at Hancock from point black at his chest

"Aaargh" Hancock yelled as the beams destroyed the chest part of his costume as Brandon managed to get free

In an instant, he fled at his top speed, smashing through the tanks and army on one end of town as he fled

Hancock took a second, checking on the red gash over his chest as he looked at the direction Brandon fled

He took off after Brandon, but seeing that Brandon had a head start, and he possibly changed directions, Hancock had lost him

He flew back to the military at one edge of town, helping set right a few tanks that had been blown upside down

"What the hell Hancock? Why didn't you get him?" a General said, yelling at Hancock

"Look... SIR. I don't work for you. But it's not as if I didn't want to catch him. But he's powers are no joke" Hancock said and walked off towards the house they fought in

The military were coming into the town now that Brandon was gone, but he wanted to survey the scene first

He saw Brandon's mask among the rubble and picked it up

Like the ship Brandon arrived in, the material didn't look anything special, even though Brandon reacted to them the way a human would react to materials of the same sort from Earth

"Shit Brightburn!" Hancock said as he pushed aside some rubble to see the naked dead body of Caitlyn Connor, with exit wounds from her chest and neck, and her genitals looked like pounded meat

"Damn, she looked like she would have grown to be a hottie too" Hancock said

--

Brandon was crying while he flew, touching parts of his face that hurt from Hancock's punches

Although there was nothing too badly damaged, and he wasn't even bruised

Even so, he started thinking of his mother Tori who would have hugged him to comfort him, or his father Kyle, whose large body would make him feel safe

He was conflicted. Was he human or not? He was raised on Earth with love and care for 12 years, but he repaid them with their brutal deaths, and he has been committing so much atrocities that would be unimaginable for any other human being

Hancock and the army would find mutilated bodies all around town, every man, woman and child, fully dissected and even carefully taken to pieces. 

He tortured many in unimaginable ways, burning them with his eyebeams for fun, crushing their bones, and ripping their limbs off however he pleased

He sadistically ripped of heads and exchanged them with other bodies, changing their genitalia with his bare hands, and even skinning entire bodies for his experiments and shoving dead babies back into their dead mother's wombs!

He knew that he would be sentenced to death, but he also knew that there was no way to kill him. But it doesn't hurt to be careful, as you never know what man has come up with that might be able to kill even him

But who the hell was that "Hancock"? There was another like himself?

He flew many hundreds of mile away, avoiding cities and only going through small towns at super speeds

He broke into a Walmart in the middle of the night, and made of with a change of clothes. The stood in the changing room, looking at himself in the full length mirror. He no longer had his mask, and he looked at his face carefully

He looked so... human. Maybe he shouldn't think of himself as an alien wanting to take over the world. Maybe he should think of himself as a superior human, grow up and take control of the world from behind the scenes. After all, there probably would be more threats like that Hancock, who could give him a hard time in a fight!

He walked out looking like a typical teenager and whizzed away at superspeeds without paying

The local bank was broken in to too, as Brandon flew away with a million in dollar notes, enough to lay low for a while

--

He appeared in the local library, checking out the internet for information

Not having a computer in his farm house meant he was largely ignorant about happenings in the world

He was researching "Hancock", as he has never heard about him before

It seems that he was initially working in Los Angeles, before changing cities to New York

But if he was found first in LA, perhaps his origins could be found there

If Hancock was anything like himself, perhaps his alien ship would be found in LA, and perhaps he would be able to find out more information about himself

He had enough time to study his own alien craft before he destroyed it with the plane, but it was nothing more than a baby incubator with that strange alien recording that gave him a headache with the repeated instruction to take the Earth

He was now going to take over the Earth anyway, but he convinced himself that it was out of his own free will, not because of some alien instructions that compelled him to

"No! I am in full control of myself. The alien craft is destroyed. Nothing can hurt me now" he thought to himself as he got up to leave

He walked back at a leisurely pace to the motel he was staying in

He had at least a million dollars, and could stay at better hotels, but motels didn't ask too many questions as he didn't check in with any adults

At least the place was clean, and had a nice diner there for meals

He packed his belongings in his knapsack, all newly acquired at Walmart, as he left all his own belongings in Brightburn, and stared at the sky

It would be half a country away to LA, so he best get moving

Without bothering to pay at the motel counter, he flew into the night sky, instantly clearing the clouds as he headed West

He passed by a passenger plane, holding himself back from crashing it, as was his hobby up to recently

The plane never knew how close they were to their death

But Brandon was consciously trying to lay low

Hancock hasn't been sighted since Brightburn, and he had no intention on meeting him again
