Jackson’s eyes stayed locked on Skull Island, but this time a subtle spark of excitement danced in his gaze. He let out a small laugh, the first one in hours, as the massive King Kong tore through the jungle, dodging explosions and leaping across collapsing terrain. The roar of the creature was deafening, but it felt… alive. He felt alive.

“Dad,” he said suddenly, voice bright, “does Hong Kong really exist? I mean… it looks huge on the map, but this place in the movie… it’s enormous!”

Jack glanced over, intrigued. “Hong Kong? In the movie?” He leaned back, stroking his chin thoughtfully. “Not literally. Skull Island is fictional, Jackson. But the filmmakers drew inspiration from several real-world locations—dense jungles, cliffs, hidden valleys, some Asian islands. They just exaggerated everything to make it… cinematic.”

Jackson’s lips quirked into a grin. “So it’s not really that big? But the movie makes it feel like a whole planet.”

Jack chuckled softly. “Exactly. That’s the magic o

    Jackson’s eyes were still glued to the DragonTech plasma when he suddenly jumped up. “Dad! Wait—I have an idea!”Jack turned from the window, raising an eyebrow. “What is it now, champ?”Jackson grabbed a large whiteboard from the corner of the cabin and dragged it to the center of the lounge. Markers in hand, he began sketching frantically, lines scribbled with a mix of determination and excitement.“Look, I’m gonna draw them! All the heroes I’ve been watching!” he announced, voice high-pitched with energy. “Spider-Man, Batman, Iron Man… even Star-Lord and Rocket!”Jack walked over, crouching slightly beside him. “Alright. Let’s see this masterpiece.”Jackson’s hands were shaking with enthusiasm as he outlined Spider-Man swinging across the top corner, webs stretching outward like threads of light. Batman crouched in the shadows below, cape billowing dramatically. Iron Man’s armor gleamed in red and gold, energy beams shooting from his hands. Star-Lord was mid-dance, blasters raised,

    Jackson didn’t wait for an answer. He returned to the plasma screen, scrolling quickly through the DragonCom library as if the next hero could provide a definitive answer to his swirling questions. Jack followed more slowly, leaning against the couch arm, arms crossed, a faint smile tugging at his lips.“Alright,” Jackson said finally, selecting a new title. Iron Man. “Let’s see if he’s smarter or stronger. Or both. I need to figure this out.”Jack shook his head, amusement hidden behind a layer of patience. “You’re trying to solve superhero physics again, aren’t you?”Jackson’s eyes didn’t leave the screen. “It’s strategy. And powers. And… character. All important.”“Mm-hm,” Jack said, settling beside him again. “Go ahead. Analyze him.”The screen flared to life. Iron Man’s first armored flight lit the cabin with sparks and reflections. Jackson leaned forward, almost holding his breath as the cinematic sequence unfolded—the arc reactor glowing in his chest, the suit’s hydraulics hiss

    Jackson tapped the side of the DragonTech plasma, waking it from its dim standby glow. The enormous screen at the front of the DragonJet’s lounge blinked alive, showing the sleek interface of DragonCom’s entertainment hub. He scrolled through titles with his thumb, the endless options filling the dark cabin with flickering light.“Okay,” Jackson murmured to himself, leaning closer. “What do I want today…”He stopped when his eyes landed on it. A classic. The letters shimmered against the display: Spider-Man.A grin spread across his face. He tapped the title.“Perfect.”The second plasma—mounted just across the cabin wall—synced instantly, splitting the feed so he could watch from either angle. He pulled himself onto the couch, tucking his knees beneath him. Within seconds, the screen filled with the image of a young man swinging across skyscrapers, his red-and-blue suit flashing against the skyline.“Dad!” Jackson called, his voice ringing down the corridor. “You gotta see this!”Jac

    DragonCom later released the video feed across Jack’s DragonTech plasma screen, its surface glowing with crisp clarity. The logo of the Dragon Corporation shimmered before fading into live visuals: every city, every network, every corner of Jack’s empire alive and seemingly undisturbed.The first frame opened on Harmonfield. Towering spires gleamed in the artificial sunlight projected from orbital mirrors, their glass and steel reflecting the brilliance of an orderly city. Hover-rails curved across districts, transports gliding without a single delay. People filled the walkways, heads lifted, shoulders unburdened. Harmonfield was thriving—nothing out of place.Jackson leaned closer, wide-eyed. “It looks… perfect.”Jack watched with calm intensity, his arms crossed. “It’s how it should be.”The feed shifted. The floating cities suspended by magnetic anchors—Reidsville’s domes shimmering against a painted dawn. The communities of Redmond bustling with new construction. Richmond’s underw

    Matilda still hadn’t let go of her point. She sat cross-legged on the couch, her arms waving as she argued.“I’m telling you, Pragya’s the real hero,” she insisted. “She carries all the weight, all the pain, and still keeps going. That’s more impressive than being scary or controlling.”Lena shook her head, smirking in the way only an older sister could. “You don’t get it, Tilly. The matriarch isn’t just scary—she’s the backbone. Without her, the family falls apart. Power isn’t always about who cries the most. It’s about who holds the pieces together.”Emily, half amused and half invested herself, leaned between them. “You’re both right in different ways. Pragya has heart, but the matriarch has strategy. Together, they’re the reason people even keep watching.”Matilda crossed her arms, frowning stubbornly. “I still say Pragya’s better.”Lena rolled her eyes dramatically. “We’ll agree to disagree. But one day, you’ll see I’m right.”Their debate dissolved into giggles when another over

    Jackson’s DragonTech smartphone flickered back to life, the buffering symbol disappearing as Superman’s fist collided against Batman’s armored shield with a metallic crack that echoed through the tiny speakers. Sparks burst across the screen, the rain of Gotham cascading in digital glory. Jackson let out the breath he hadn’t realized he’d been holding.“Finally,” he muttered, clutching the phone tighter.Jack Parker, seated across the cabin with his arms folded, tilted his head with the faintest of smiles. He had been watching his son far more than the movie. The way Jackson leaned forward, how his eyes glimmered at every scene, told him the film wasn’t just entertainment—it was a reflection of something deeper.Jackson glanced up at his father, his voice barely above the sound of the cinematic clash.“Dad… I think Superman’s my favorite.”Jack raised an eyebrow, leaning forward slightly. “Superman, huh? Why him?”“Because…” Jackson hesitated, searching for the right words. “Because h
