Chapter 2: Chapter 2 – Battle of Los Angeles

It occurred to him that even the small town of Brightburn took him a few days to completely exterminate and conquer. He could perhaps completely exterminate the town in half a day, but it still will take time

If he wanted to exterminate the whole world's population, how long would that take? A few months?

The other way was to make them submit to him, but it wouldn't be easy

Furthermore, there would be people that could give him trouble like Hancock. And what if there was many more like Hancock?

What if there was an army of Hancocks? Surely he wouldn't be able to defeat them with brute force, right?

That's why he would look for Hancock's ship, so he could find his weakness like his own was. At least, that was what he was telling himself

"What is it with this traffic?" Brandon muttered from the air, seeing an endless stream of cars barely moving, all heading away from LA

"Maybe that bastard Hancock is finally revealing his colors and attacking. I knew I wasn't the only one wanting to conquer the Earth" Brandon said to himself

He landed in a deserted alley, to observe what was going on

He saw soldiers running with weapons, as tanks rolled out, heading for the Santa Monica area

Not that Brandon knew wherever that was. He was simply following where the action was

"Hey... kid! It's dangerous... strange" a soldier said

"What is it?" another soldier asked

"I could swear I saw a kid just there. Must be the stress getting to me" the first soldier said, as they continued running towards the beach area

Brandon followed in the shadows, moving at superspeed, before he saw it floating in the far sky

It was a large alien ship hovering in the air, with multiple flying spacecraft flying around

Brandon could see the destruction in the background, as the buildings were completely rubble

He could see soldiers, tanks and fighter jets attacking as the alien defended itself

The aliens must not be very powerful, if human weapons could cause damage, he thought

The aliens had ground forces too, looking like mechanical robots and firing projectiles, rather than lasers

It looked like a conventional battle, as if the human soldiers were fighting with another human army

But the human army was losing, as it took multiple rounds of bullets to down just a single alien soldier

And the alien army didn't look like it could get tired, while the human army looked battered and exhausted

It was clear that they were losing, but through sheer grit, they were holding on

But they dared not retreat as there were many vehicles full of human civilians nearby, all stuck in a endless traffic jam on the highway

Suddenly, the overhead highway exploded as several cars crashed to the ground, all crushed in the debris

"Ray! Aaron!" a woman screamed, so clear that even Brandon noticed over the surrounding noise

To his shock, a whoosh of wind blew as a woman appeared and threw away the large rocks crushing the vehicles

She saw a crushed vehicle and ripped off the roof, and in an instant was cradling what looked like a human man, and a child no more than 12 years old

She wailed when over their mangled bodies, unrecognizable, but she somehow knew who they were

"No! I couldn't find you. I rushed from the grocery...." she mumbled as Brandon stared at her

She was beautiful, with long blonde hair and was quite tall

"Mu....mum?" Brandon muttered looking at her

She looked similar to him mother Tori Breyer, but a superpowered one

He was so disappointed when he dropped him mother from the sky, half wishing that she would fly and prove that she was his real mother all along

Suddenly, the blonde stood up, gently placing both bodies on the ground as she raised her hands

The weather suddenly started to change as the wind formed tornadoes about her

She looked at the alien mother spaceship in the distance and in a whoosh, she flew at it, with the tornadoes following it

Brandon didn't hesitate and shot after her

She flew directly to the mothership, crashing through buildings and alien ships trying to distract her

Brandon did the same, appreciating and admiring her total lack of mercy as she destroyed the smaller ships

She pierced right through the mothership, exiting the other side and then flew back and did the same the other direction

Brandon followed her and as they crisscrossed the mothership, the large ship crashed to the ground, looking like swiss cheese

Without stopping, she attacked the alien ground troops with her wind while Brandon shot his eyebeams

Within hours. not a single alien troop or ship remained

The blonde flew back to the two mangled bodies and gently picked them up

She looked up and saw Brandon standing close by

She didn't know what to say, her face covered in tears but his next words shocked her

"Mum? I missed you mum" he burst into tears and ran to her

Before she could stop him, he was hugging her tightly, his face buried in her breasts

Without realizing it, she hugged him in return, dropping the remains of her husband and son on the ground

She has lived for centuries and have occasionally had children

But she could never be hugged so tightly that she could feel it

However, this boy's hug felt real, and she could tell that he really needed her motherly love and attention

--

After the funeral, Mary Embrey settled her husband Ray's affairs and that of her son Aaron

She got to know Brandon better, and he was the perfect well behaved kid

She even allowed him to sleep in the same bed as her, as he even suckled her breasts to sleep

He was the same age her own son Aaron was, and she appreciated his affection

And he didn't hide his past even telling her all his atrocities in Brightburn

Somehow, she understood that he should have been raised by a superhuman mother and none of this would have happened

She understood that his parents should not have threatened him if they couldn't handle him

His father Kyle shouldn't have shot him in the head and his mother Tory shouldn't have tried to stab him

After they knew each other's secrets, Hancock was invited over for dinner

Brandon knew about Hancock and Mary's past, and knew they would eventually weaken in each other's company

But he wouldn't hurt Hancock as he knew now that if he killed Hancock, Mary would die too

As soon as they met, Hancock held Brandon's collar and threatened him

"I got you now, you little shit. You will pay for what you've done" Hancock said

Suddenly, he found himself being thrown through the wall

"I told you on the phone, don't ever threaten my son!" Mary said

"What? What about Aaron?" Hancock said

In an instant, Mary was next to him and carrying him by his collar

"I only informed you out of curtesy. I will protect him like a mother bear, so if you don't want to continue living, so right on ahead" she said

"Alright. I give!" Hancock said, not wanting to anger Mary who was more powerful than him

They sat back down on the dining table, and ate awkwardly as the ex-husband and wife and adopted son ate in silence

"Look, I know what happened in Brightburn. But you are the only one who saw his face. So keep this a secret, for me, ok?" Mary said

Hancock reluctantly agreed. But he didn't want to fight with Mary at this time, and if Brandon attacked too, he might get in trouble as his powers weakened near Mary after a while

Brandon's eyebeams could very well kill him if this happened

This became the first of the many visits by Hancock over the years as he dropped by every holiday like a step father to check in on them

Eventually, Brandon and Hancock became friendly and Mary stopped worrying about them, even allowing Hancock to bring him out to New York for a some training

Mary homeschooled Brandon, deciding that it was best that a superpowered child would be better off trained by her anyway

She was pleasantly surprised to find out that he was particularly smart, genius level in fact

He took to her training like duck to water, and indulged him in the best in whatever he wanted to learn, like science, maths and music

Brandon became the perfect son for the now single Mary. He was her pride and joy, as they lived normal lives as a single mother and son in the day time, while she trained him in her centuries of battle knowledge at night

Before long, 4 years had passed as the he finished his home schooling syllabus and everything Mary wanted to teach him, Mary thought it best if he took a solo trip to find out more about himself

He wasn't like her and Hancock, not from a centuries old race of eternals but he was... something else. Arguably just as powerful, but something else entirely

As he was now 16, their relationship was starting to get to be more than that of a mother and son

While they still slept together at night, but recently his hands had been wandering all over her body at night while they slept, and she didn't stop him

But she stopped him from outright having sex with her, even though they had started making out. She even gave him handjobs at night

For her, it was attractive to have someone else with superpowers like him, besides Hancock in her life

As she was immortal, she told him that he could decide to return to her as a son in the future, or as a lover

Brandon didn't even think about it and wanted to give her his answer right away

But Mary told him that he should explore the world, meet other girls and then decide

They hugged farewell when Mary pulled down her top

"One last time so that you'll miss me" Mary teased

Brandon didn't hesitate and indulged in her breasts before leaving

He really didn't want to leave, but he knew Mary was right about finding himself

She would always be there for him anyway. 

With a final kiss, this time the first time they kissed on the lips, he took off and disappeared in a flash
