บท 12: Ch.12: Invitation from USA
________________________________________________________________________________
As the days passed, Shakti found herself growing increasingly restless. The absence of Aryan weighed heavily on her, and her thoughts were consumed by his departure. To channel her frustration, she invited Karna for a sparring session.
The training grounds were bathed in the golden hues of the setting sun as Shakti and Karna faced each other. Shakti's eyes blazed with determination, her energy sense and control powers flaring intensely. Karna, sensing her agitation, prepared himself, his telepathy and telekinesis at the ready.
"Let's see what you've got," Shakti challenged, her voice edged with impatience.
Karna nodded, his expression serious. "Bring it on."
Shakti launched herself at Karna with a speed that took him by surprise. Her movements were a blur as she unleashed a flurry of energy blasts. Karna barely had time to raise his telekinetic shield before the first wave hit. The force of her attacks pushed him back, but he held his ground, countering with telekinetic strikes.
However, Shakti was relentless. She dodged his attacks with ease, her agility and precision unmatched. With a swift motion, she closed the distance between them, delivering a powerful kick that sent Karna sprawling. He quickly recovered, using his telekinesis to hurl debris at her, but Shakti deflected them effortlessly, her energy control creating a protective barrier around her.
"Is that all you've got?" Shakti taunted, her frustration evident.
Karna gritted his teeth, focusing his powers to create a telekinetic wave aimed at Shakti. But she was ready. With a fierce cry, she unleashed a concentrated burst of energy that shattered his attack and sent him flying. Karna landed hard, gasping for breath.
Shakti stood over him, her chest heaving with exertion. "You need to be stronger, Karna. We all do."
Karna looked up at her, his expression a mix of pain and admiration. "You're right. But you need to control your emotions, Shakti. This isn't just about power."
Shakti's eyes softened, and she extended a hand to help him up. "I know. I just… I miss him."
Karna nodded, understanding her feelings. "We all do. But he'll be back. And until then, we need to stay strong."
Two weeks later, Shakti was training alone when a beautiful bird landed nearby, catching her attention. The bird carried a letter, and as Shakti took it, she recognized Aryan's handwriting. Her heart raced as she opened it.
The letter described Aryan's invitation to speak at Princeton University in America, which would delay his return. Aryan's words were respectful and loving, expressing his gratitude for their support and his determination to use this opportunity to further their cause.
Shakti's eyes filled with tears as she read his words. Despite the delay, Aryan's resolve and dedication gave her strength. She knew that no matter the distance, their bond remained unbreakable. With renewed determination, she vowed to continue training and supporting their cause, knowing that Aryan would return when the time was right.
## At the same time, in London,UK.
Aryan stood on the bustling streets of London, the weight of his accomplishments and the future ahead pressing on his young shoulders. At just fifteen, he had completed PhDs in Physics, Engineering, and Political Science, a feat that had garnered him invitations to speak at numerous seminars and meetings across Europe. His intellect and insights had made waves, catching the attention of scholars and leaders alike.
One crisp morning, as Aryan was preparing for another lecture, he received an unexpected letter. The seal bore the emblem of Princeton University. Intrigued, he opened it to find an invitation to speak at the prestigious institution in America. The letter mentioned the growing tensions in Europe due to Nazi Germany and highlighted Aryan's unprecedented achievements. The American government, aware of his potential, saw an opportunity to ally with him, especially given their secretive research on creating supersoldiers.
With a mix of excitement and apprehension, Aryan accepted the invitation. His journey to America was filled with anticipation. As he boarded the ship, he couldn't help but think of Shakti and Karna, hoping his efforts would make a difference for their cause.
Upon arriving in America, Aryan was greeted with a flurry of activity. He met with various officials and scholars, each eager to hear his thoughts and ideas. His interactions were marked by a blend of curiosity and respect, as they marveled at his intellect and maturity.
The day of his speech at Princeton University arrived. The grand hall was filled with students, professors, and dignitaries, all eager to hear from the young prodigy. Aryan took a deep breath and began his address.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is an honor to stand before you today. As we navigate these turbulent times, it is crucial to remember the values that bind us together. Indian culture, with its rich diversity and profound wisdom, teaches us the importance of unity, resilience, and compassion."
He spoke eloquently about the true nature of Indian culture, emphasizing its inclusivity and the strength that comes from diversity. He highlighted the contributions of Indian scholars, scientists, and leaders, showcasing the nation's intellectual heritage.
"Our world is at a crossroads," Aryan continued. "We face challenges that require not just technological advancements, but also a deep understanding of human values. It is through collaboration and mutual respect that we can overcome these obstacles and build a better future."
The audience was captivated by his words, inspired by his vision and clarity. Aryan's speech resonated deeply, leaving a lasting impression on everyone present. As he concluded, the hall erupted in applause, a testament to the impact of his message.
In the days that followed, Aryan continued to engage with American scholars and officials, sharing his insights and forging connections. His time in America was a blend of intellectual exchange and cultural diplomacy, strengthening the bond between the two nations.
Despite the distance, Aryan's thoughts often drifted back to Shakti and Karna. He knew that their bond remained unbreakable, and he drew strength from their shared determination. With renewed resolve, Aryan vowed to continue his efforts, knowing that every step he took brought them closer to their goals.
**After his speech at Princeton University, Aryan was approached by a young man with a confident stride and a charming smile.**
"Impressive speech," the man said, extending his hand. "I'm Howard Stark."
Beside him stood a young woman in an American military uniform, her posture exuding authority and grace. "Margaret Elizabeth Carter," she introduced herself, her British accent unmistakable.
Aryan's eyes widened in recognition. They looked remarkably similar to their portrayals in the Marvel comics and movies. He shook Howard's hand, then Margaret's, trying to mask his surprise.
"It's an honor to meet you both," Aryan said, his voice steady despite his astonishment.
Howard grinned. "The honor is ours. Your achievements are nothing short of extraordinary. We could use someone with your intellect and vision."
Margaret nodded in agreement. "Indeed. Your insights on unity and resilience are particularly relevant given the current global tensions. We believe you could play a crucial role in our efforts."
Aryan felt a mix of excitement and curiosity. "How can I assist?"
Howard leaned in slightly, his tone conspiratorial. "We're working on some advanced projects, and your expertise could be invaluable. Let's just say, we're looking to push the boundaries of what's possible."
Margaret added, "And with the world on the brink of war, we need minds like yours to help ensure a better future."
Aryan nodded, feeling the weight of their words. "I'm willing to help in any way I can."
As they walked away, discussing potential collaborations, Aryan couldn't help but feel that his journey had taken an unexpected, yet thrilling turn. The presence of Howard Stark and Margaret Carter hinted at a future filled with unprecedented opportunities and challenges.
Unbeknownst to them, Aryan discreetly planted shadow soldiers in their shadows. He knew that the World War was fast approaching and he would be busy in India, taking advantage of the war to further weaken British control and make a final push for India's inevitable independence. The shadow soldiers would ensure he could get his hands on the super soldier serum they would acquire in the future after their meeting with Dr. Erskine.
