— General POV —
A young, red headed woman was walking down a poorly lit alley when a man rushed at her as he grabbed her purse.
"Give me that purse!" He screamed as he began pulling a young redhead's purse.
"No!" The redhead struggles for a moment until the man pulls out a knife.
The next second a red beam hit the knife, causing Steve to drop it.
And then Adem flew down from sky in a superhero landing, wearing an unusual outfit. "Why don't you let the nice lady go, Buddy?" He asked and Steve began to rush from him, only for Adem to grab him by the throat and threw him high into the air. He then looked at the redhead "Are you alright, Miss?"
"Ye- Yeah…" she mumbled as she caught her breath,
"Here, drink this, you should stay dehydrated." He said as he handed her a blue Vought Hydration Drink. She took it and he pulled out another Hydration Drink, but this one was red and they both opened it and took a large sip. He then turned around and said, "Vought Hydration. Stay Hydrated."
"AND CUT!" A man sitting on a directors chair said as he jumped out of his seat.
"Oh my god, Khan- you were magnificent. And you look absolutely fabulous in that skin tight suit." He said as he placed a hand on his arm.
Adem gave him an unamused look as his eyes shone red for a moment.
"Right, not a toucher, I get it." He said as he quickly removed his hand and walked away at a fast pace.
"Hey Steve?! You alright mate!" Adem asked the mugger- aka Stuntman Steve.
"Ye- Yeah I'm fine. The throw was far gentler than I expected." He said as he got out of the mat that Adem had thrown him to.
Adem gave him a thumbs up as the redhead approached. "Hey, Khan. The names Angela, I know we didn't really talk before the shoot, but I would love it if we stayed in contact," she said as she passed him her card with her number on it.

"Thanks, but I don't think my girlfriend would like that," he said as Cate suddenly showed up in between them.
"Hi, I'm Cate, Khan's girlfriend." She introduced herself and took the girl's hand into a handshake and gave her a very hard squeeze.
"I- I should get going." She said as she practically ran out of there.
"The gall of some people," Cate mumbled before turning to Adem and grabbing Angela's card from him and throwing it away. "So this is the new suit, huh?"

"Yeah, so what do you think?"
"I like it, but I prefer you out of it," she said as she squeezed his ass.
He smirked, "Maybe after the Vought gives me the check, I'll take you to Four Seasons, get a room in the 52nd floor and you can see how it feels to be fucked that high up?" He suggested and got a kiss in return.
"Or you can take me there, and I can show you how it is to be fucked that high up," she said justs before Ashley- Miss Stillwell's assistant walked over to them.
"Hey Khan, you were amazing out there!" She said, causing Adem to nod,
"Not really much of an actor, but if it got the job done, that's enough, right?" He asked
"Of course. And I'm sure you'll get much better." She said before handing him a check. "This is from Vought, the first payment. As we have agreed to be paid annually starting the first ad campaign you take part in for Vought Hydration." She said and Adem saw the 7 figure check and whistled a little.
"Thanks Ashley. Also, feel free to call me Adem." He said getting a courteous nod from the older woman before she left the two teens alone.
"So, the Four Seasons?"
— God U., Dean Shetty's Office, General POV —
"The room is completely soundproof, covered in Zinc, has been checked for any potential bugs, and everyone entering the room left their phones outside. So, we will now be discussing our students progress." Dean Shetty said as there were 2 people in the room besides her.
One was Professor Brink, the other was Madelyn Stillwell.
"Adem is incredible. The data supports that if he continues the training regimen he is on, he will be a match for the boy in blue within 2 years, and might even surpass him if he sticks to it." Brink said as he pointed at the file with Adem's name on it.
"Riordan shows promise, but as he is, he can only reach Maeve's level. And that's assuming we managed to keep his ego in check. In order to push him into the next level, we will have to enhance him further. His younger brother- while more unstable than even Homelander- is physically stronger than Riordan. There is an ongoing project in Woods, we can use his brother to enhance his strength, to potentially match Homelander." Brink said
"That is not the best idea." Madelyn said "Vought does not want dozens of unstable Supes on par with Homelander. We want at least one to be a match for him. Preferably a far more stable version of him. So that we can have a deterrent in case Homelander Level Supe goes rogue." She states without any emotion in her voice. "Plus, using a lab is how Homelander was made into what he is today and I am sure all of us agree the next generation has to be better."
There was no argument there.
"But we need a way to control them. How is that girl, Cate Dunlap doing?" Madelyn asked.
"She is doing wonderful. I am personally meeting with her thrice weekly as a psychological consultant. And she has come to trust in me a great deal."
"Has she gotten closer to Adem?" She asked.
"Yes, as it was planned, they were placed into all the same classes while only placing minimal others from Intro to Crime Fighting Class into their regular classes, this pushed them to interact more, and Cate's appearance and Adem's nonchalant approach to her powers brought them together. As we had orchestrated." She said, getting a nod from the blonde.
"That's good. Get her to rely on you so we can have another avenue to control Adem." She said and everyone nodded their heads.
"And don't worry. I'll be sure to tell Mr. Edgar, the wonderful work you have been doing in Godolkin."
