Time - 11:00 PM
The world is shifting its time into the dark embrace of the night with only hour remaining before the clock of the specific time zone hits 12 in the night.
Around this particular time people present inside the city of Mumbai present in India are still roaming in the city enjoying the night life of the city for which it is said that this city never sleeps.
But nonetheless the people are enjoying the night life and one such part of this night life is watching movies in the theatres.
A group of people consisting around of 50 people are coming out of a multiplex after finishing a night show of the newly released Marvel Studio's The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
Perception and opinions are varying due to the minds of the different people who have watched the movie.
But there is a pair of young boy and a young girl who have also came to watch the movie just like the others.
This pair of young boy and young girl are just like normal people who have came to watch the movie.
But there is one thing about this particular young boy who is in the talk here that sets him completely apart from the others who have watched the movie.
This speciality of this young man whose name is Arya is that he is an avid and super nerd/fan of the superhero genre of every form of media that has come into the world.
Arya has consumed all of those types of media regarding the superhero genre that he can get his hands on.
Even if people say that they have got superhero genre fatigue or couldn't understand the art behind it but Arya was completely in disagreement with those people as he just loves everything about the superheroes.
Even those superhero movies, comics, animations or games that were panned or criticised by others, those are also loved by Arya.
So now Arya had brought in one of his close friend to watch the new Fantastic four movie with him.
After watching the movie Arya brought his friend for dinner and both of them had a very good dinner and after half an hour of enjoyment both of them started to walk on the footpath of that particular street.
Both of them were sharing their experiences and opinions of the movie where Arya was especially very happy because within a month he had watched two superhero movies.
Geeta the friend of Arya was curiously listening to the words of Arya where Arya was speaking everything that he knows and had seen in the movie.
And after hearing the words of Arya, Geeta asked, "Arya you are a big superhero nerd/fan that I knew about because you know so much about the superheroes and this genre particular. But tell me how did you get introduced into this genre ? I want to know about that."
This question of Geeta brought a smile on the face of Arya by which he took out his phone and woke up his phone from its sleep and stared at the wallpaper of his phone with a bright and wide smile on his face.
Geeta was surprised seeing this smile on his face and when she asked what he was looking at so intently with full attention, Arya with his bright and wide smile looked at Geeta and showed the wallpaper of his phone to her.
When Geeta looked at the wallpaper of the phone she saw that it was of a man who was wearing full body red color costume with striking golden borders and a golden Chakra on his chest.
With confusion Geeta was watching this wallpaper when Arya said, "This is not just a wallpaper Geeta. This was my introduction to the world of superheroes. This was the first superhero many 90s to early 2000s kids. This was the door that opened the mesmerizing and fantastical world of superheroes to me. This is Shaktimaan. My first and favorite superhero on top for me."
Geeta was just watching the facial expression and carefully listening to the words spoken by Arya about the superhero that was on his wallpaper.
Geeta after this started to listen about Shaktimaan and its impact on Arya from Arya himself as they both walked together on the footpath.
Geeta was just happily looking at the happy and smiling face of Arya which has a glow on it that showed how much he is happy while talking about Shaktimaan.
But we know that when someone becomes very very much happy then a big danger or sadness is about to come into their lives.
*downtown in the city I am a wanted...*(just a passing reference.)
A very bright light fall on both Geeta and Arya which when they saw came to know that a speeding car driving on the footpath is coming towards them without applying any horn or brake.
Geeta was completely stunned after seeing the car as such that she couldn't move herself away from the path of the car.
At that moment Arya remembered that a superhero always protects the lives of people who are innocent.
And so with this inspiration from the superheroes Arya pushed Geeta from the footpath and stood before the car.
And right before the very eyes of Geeta the speeding car ran over Arya and killed him in that instant with the blood of Arya spattered on that footpath and some of his blood falling on the face of Geeta as well.
