2 Kenny can't say he isn't used to public adoration, at least while in costume. Despite the fact that he was clearly only ten years old, everyone in South Park had seemed really hung up on his mis-adventures, so the public excitement in this new city isn't entirely surprising - just a little weird. He never got a chance to read many comic books (just the ones other kids would loan him), but he didn't remember any issue where dark and mysterious masked crusaders were accosted by gleeful fans for photographs. He tried to look as menacing as possible in each shot, but he was a little relived when he found a soda shop to duck into. It was still buzzing with people, sure, but they seemed more interested in their own business.
Despite the fact that his pockets were incredibly empty, he climbed up onto a bar stool, let out a sigh, and gazed down the line. There were other lost-looking people around, some costumed and some not. Maybe they were imPorts, too.
4 It's easy for Mysterion to see where this is going. He's only barely gotten used to hovercars, but he knows they're no less a threat than the normal ones back home. Hell, maybe they're worse. It's dark out, so it's hard to see if anyone else is already coming to the rescue, but it doesn't matter. Even if he doesn't have any kind of super speed, if he acts now, he can at least get the kids out of the way, even if he doesn't see a way to get himself out of the line of fire.
He dies so often it's practically routine now. That hasn't changed here, either - he just tends to get up faster here than he did at home.
Mysterion dives into the street, managing to get an arm around one of the kids (they're not really younger than him, actually) and get out a shout of "Out of the street!" to the other, who's thankfully fast enough to jump out of harm's way. Kenny pushes the kid he grabbed onto away as hard as he can before landing sharply in the street. The first car hits him, hard, but death isn't instantaneous (because that would just be too easy). He lives long enough to see, through intense pain, the cop cars swerving to bypass his crumpled body - swerving right into the kids he'd just tried to save.
Kenny hopes to god someone else is passing by, because he really doesn't want to come back to life to a couple of dead kids.
