𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝'𝐯𝐞 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, she even expected threats against her life because he was like an overgrown child trying to throw his weight around and be in control, feeling like he has to prove to everyone just how powerful he is. but this chilled her to the bone because it meant he knew more about her than he ever let on and she knew 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 who he was talking about - hughie. did he really think she was just like everyone else he surrounded himself with? that she would just bow down to him, do whatever he asked with a scared look on her face and just show him that fear would get him everything. he had no fucking idea who she really was and if homelander thought that he could just threaten her, then he was going to learn just how 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬 she could be.

𝐢𝐟 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭, she wouldn't say a word, it had the potential to go so wrong and she had to hope she was still useful to him alive to allow her to get away with what she was about to say. it was a piece of information that could be useful for her at a later date, but she couldn't allow him to think that threats against the people she loves, then he had another think coming. stan edgar had taught her that words and information held just as much power as her own abilities, if not more and it was a lesson she had never forgotten. victoria usually thought more clearly before making any moves, but he had made the 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 of making threats and she wasn't in the mood to play any games with him.

𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫, taking a step towards him as she looked up at him, eyes dark as a serious expression takes over her face, heart beat steady but her anger obvious, " i know you think you're safe because i probably can't pop your head, but do not think for a second that i can't hurt you too, " victoria paused for a moment, dark eyes searching his face for a moment. hughie may not be speaking to her right now, he was avoiding her and not answering her calls, but she would everything she could to keep him safe. she couldn't count on starlight to not mess things up and there was no way she had any trust in butcher to keep hughie out of trouble. he may hate her for what she's done, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't do what she could to keep him alive, " if you touch hughie at all, i may not be able to kill you and it very well may be the last thing i do. but like i told her, it would be tough to take our america's sweetheart . . . but not impossible, " it was showing a big card, revealing that she knows about him and starlight, how it wasn't all pretend for the cameras. homelander was 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 with starlight, if that was even possible for someone like him. she didn't like threatening annie, she likes annie and she knew she was important to hughie too. but if hughie was gone, she wanted him to know exactly how it felt to lose the person you love, " it is mutually assured destruction. we can play nice, but do not think for a second that i'm like all the other idiots you surround yourself with. i will always be honest, which is how you can trust that i mean every word i say, "

𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦. annie was always so good, just pleading with her to always do the right thing, always wanting to see the best in everyone. always so fucking hopeful. it seemed like a lifetime ago when she had had the same thought process, now she was just bitter and angry at homelander, at vought, at annie, at the fucking world, at herself. she didn't say 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 to her because she didn't have anything to say. what good would it do either of them? words weren't going make this better for either of them. annie wanted her to stand up, to fight for them against homelander and vought, but she had lost all of her fight and she didn't have the energy to do it anymore. every time she tried to fight him, she lost everything and she couldn't lose annie, she refused to lose annie. even if refusing to fight alongside her meant she would lose her in a different way, but if it meant that she was still alive, then that was good enough for her.

" 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐲? " maeve sighed, taking another drag of her cigarette before looking over at annie with an unemotional look on her face. she didn't get why she was so 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 on trying to do the right thing. annie was always going to be the best of them, but it also could be the thing that could put her in the most danger. as much as she wished she could help, maeve didn't want to keep going up against homelander, they were never going to win. running a hand through red strands of hair, shaking her head as she looked away from her because she couldn't see the look of 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 on the blonde's face, " there is nothing you can say that's gonna make me change my mind, annie. i won't fight him, " she took another drag exhaling smoke before looking over at her again, a dark look in blue eyes as her anger reaches a boiling point, " i saved your fucking life over and over, but you're so insistent putting yourself on the line to save people who don't fucking matter! " maybe it was all the years of being around homelander for her to have that atittude, but she also didn't think that annie should be consistently putting herself at risk like this. no one was going to thank her for it. no one would even remember her if she got herself killed trying to do the right thing.

𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐤𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐭, considering how much she had been drinking, it was a miracle that she even could stand up right now. moving towards her, blue eyes fiery as she looked at her, " if you think i am going to stand you and watch you get yourself killed, think again. i won't do it. i can't do it, " the last part was whispered almost like she was scared of saying it or it even be heard. she wasn't good at this, being honest with her feelings and she had a good reason to hold back now. annie had 𝐧𝐨 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚 what homelander would do to her if he knew what maeve felt for her. his jealousy and possessiveness was still ever present, a threat on every kind of meaningful relationship she tried to have in her life. the last thing she wanted was for this fight to reveal the one thing she had been trying to keep safe and risked her losing everything, " i can't stop you if this is really what you want to do, go with your little twink friend and get yourselves killed trying to fight him. but i can't keep saving you if you insist of running head first into danger, so good luck but get out, i can't do it, "

𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠. it was bad enough that homelander knew about him and annie, but he was actively trying to get some reaction out of him. it wasn't exactly surprising, this was the same cunt who had taunted him about when he had attacked rebecca. homelander really would do anything to get under his skin, to make him crack and lash out like the angry attack dog he had always been. hearing him talk about annie set him on edge, refusing to look at him, made his blood boil and his heart pounded hard against his chest, almost just 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 for the fight that was inevitable. butcher knew that any fight with him whilst he hadn't taken temp v would be suicide, but he couldn't do anything right now and he knew that homelander did not take him seriously at all.

𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡, trying to calm himself down as he finally looked up at him, eyes dark as he steps towards him, " don't you dare fucking talk about her like that, " he threatened, despite knowing that this was probably all just amusing to him. he couldn't deny that him and annie had been together, the lies wouldn't do anything to get him out of this situation. how fucking terrible that the only person who really knew how he felt about her was homelander? he was completely 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 with no way out. homelander had everything he needed to make sure he could keep on hurting him. annie had always been at risk because she was just always trying to play hero, but if homelander knew that she was important to him, she was even more danger. standing tall as he looked at him, heart beat as steady as ever, not faltering as he kept calm but ready for a fight, " you fucking touch her, you hurt her in any way - i will make sure you regret it, " he was not going to let the same thing happen again, he was not going to lose another person because of this monster.

𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝, family made sense and it was something she felt like she didn't necessarily have to think about too hard. but friends and romance was something she hadn't really given much thought. it seemed to come so easy to zachariah, he had all the charm and that boyish smile that drew people in. naomi didn't have that, she knew that and for the most part, she hadn't cared. until she came to goldolkin university and she felt like she had been 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 out on something. zach had always talked about all his friends and the things they all did, as much as she might have thought he was lying, he always had photos to back up what he was saying. he had thrived at god u, top of his class, always first ranked and he was popular. whereas she felt like she was drowning here. everyone had all these expectations of who she was, thought they already knew her, or just wanted something from her. she didn't know who to trust and who she could actually rely on. maybe her dad was right. she didn't need friends, she didn't really need anyone else. but at least her dad had her mom, she wanted her 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 like that. which she had never thought she was going to get until she met boomer.

𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐚𝐰 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬, he didn't care who her parents were and who her brother was. boomer actually made her feel like she was a person, whose opinion mattered and he had no expectations for her. no one had surprised her as much as he, he quite literally swept her off her feet, which for someone who could fly, it wasn't exactly easy for her to feel like that. but him coming to her like this made her feel like she was 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 and there was no way she could catch herself. was this why she shouldn't get attached? naomi had to tell herself not to panic, there had to be an explanation as to why he was saying goodbye. fuck. where was he going and why couldn't she go with him? no. no. she hadn't really needed anyone before him and she would be fine after he was gone. but naomi knew that she could tell herselt that as much as she want, she knew the 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 and she didn't want to be without him.

𝐧𝐚𝐨𝐦𝐢 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝, frowning at him as green eyes stay focused on him, just trying to figure out exactly what he could've meant by this. stay calm, do not lose yourself or overreact. she sighed softly, hands coming to rub her face for a moment, she couldn't let herself be vulnerable, not right now, " what do you mean goodbye? where are you going? " she asked, hating how voice had that weird neediness but she was trying to cover and it was so 𝐨𝐛𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 to her, which meant that he could absolutely see her trying to keep it together. her eyes got blurred for a moment because something about this felt final, he wasn't just going away for a week and then coming back. people didn't say goodbye like this if they planned on coming back. boomer was leaving and she had no way to stop him, she had more strength than most people she knew and yet she wasn't strong enough to handle this, " you can't go. you can't . . . you're not allowed to say goodbye 'cause you're not going anywhere, please, "

𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝, maeve and soldier boy were unstoppable whenever they were fighting alongside each other and it absolutely made sense that ares and his team of assholes would try to separate them. but she never should've let it happen. she got herself distracted for a moment and she lost track of him. fuck. she was trying not to panic, panicking wouldn't help him and panciking wouldn't make anyone feel better. yet she felt like she was on the 𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 and she could barely hear homelander as he spoke to her, blue eyes focused on the shield in his hands, her heart racing in her chest as she tried not to fall apart. this was the last thing he wanted. ben refused to be a prisoner again, to let himself get caught and remained captured again. he was going to be hating this, he was going to make life hell for those fuckers who thought they could do whatever they wanted. maggie would do anything to get him back, she had to because she know he would do 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 for her if she was the one who was caught.

𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐡𝐢𝐦, trying to hide the way her hands shook for a moment as she tried to ignore that need to just scream and break something. ares had taken so much from her already and she refused to lose anyone else to that fucker. she couldn't cry, she couldn't break apart, she didn't have that option right now. she just had to get him back and she would 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 like hell to get to him. holding his shield made her feel a little stronger, a little better but it wasn't enough. she had to get him back, she wouldn't leave him in that place, she wouldn't let him be a prisoner to anyone again. taking a deep breath, finally looking up at homelander as she moved the shield onto her back, " he's not gone. i'm getting him back, i'm not . . . i'm not fucking losing him too, " maeve shook her head, probably wasn't thinking clearly but she wasn't going to just let him go. she needed him and she wouldn't be without him, he always called her his sword and she needed her shield more than anything.

𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲, she wasn't going to stop till ben was free and he got to have the life that seemed like a far off dream. she wouldn't let him stay that way, she wouldn't give up on him. running a hand through her hair, looking in the direction of vought tower, she wasn't thinking but she knew 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 what she needed to do. walking in the direction of the tower, not looking at homelander as she walked past him before stopping, " are you coming or are you really gonna let me do this alone? " maeve asked, glancing back at him and she knew he had plenty of reasons to say no, but she also knew how important family was to him. annie was going to be mad at both of them for being so thoughtless, but even the blonde goody two shoes would understand why they needed to do this, " we can't leave him there. ares will . . . ares will only do to him what the russians did, if not fucking worse. we gotta get him back, we're all he has, "

" he shrugged, not looking over at him as he spoke, not taking him seriously whatsoever. a part of him knew that homelander could and would hurt him. maybe he was trying to goad him into a little, to show everyone that it was absolutely a mistake in bringing him into their plan. was it his best plan? absolutely not. but fuck it. butcher wasn't going to be 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 nice with homelander at any time, " everyone else might want to buy into your bullshit, john, " he sneered, looking over at him for a moment, shaking his head as he raised the cigarette between his fingers to his lips, taking a drag as he looks away again, " but i don't. not sure how you tricked starlight into thinking you're not a monster, but i'm not fucking buying it for one second - you'll show us all who you really are eventually and all that hardwork starlight did to change will have been for nothing, "

𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠, it was almost like it was too difficult because she was her, but she wasn't her. it wasn't like the other annie she had met, the one who was with butcher, they understood each other. this version of her? well, she was a nightmare and she made her skin crawl. it was like she had given into every 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐬𝐞 that she had resisted. annie could only imagine how much destruction this starlight and her homelander had caused this world. was it possible whoever brought them all here was to stop them? it was questions to which they hadn't quite got the answers yet. but she was determined to find a way out of this and get them. those answers could get them home, though she also knew she couldn't go back until they had found a way to stop this starlight and homelander.

𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫, dark eyes focusing on her as she shook her head, not wanting to believe what she was saying, despite knowing that there was something she could learn from this starlight, " i'm nothing like you. we're not gonna be anything, " annie snapped, unsure of what exactly the other version of her was thinking right now, she was just angry at the situation, desperate to get home and she just wanted to find a way back to the people she cared about, " you and i, we're not the same. you're twisted and too far gone to even realise that you've become something that you should hate, " she had always wanted to be a hero, surely that was something all of them shared. but how did this annie become so twisted that she lost sight of that? shaking her head, an almost 𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 look on her face as she looked at her, " i will never be anything like you, "

" 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐲? " becca asked softly, looking over at him with a curious look on her face. she knew that this was going to happen, they had warned her as such, that as ryan got older, it was likely that he would show signs of powers just like his father homelander. the heightened senses was something they had predicted would come first, the improved hearing, the x-ray vision, the sense of smell. a lot of supes had the heightened senses, but if ryan's abilities would be anything like homelander, he would be so strong. it was her job to make sure he was 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 like homelander, that he would stay the sweet and kind boy he is now. but ever since homelander had shown up here, more and more of ryan's powers have started to show through and she just wanted to make sure that she was being the best she could for him. moving over to him, her hand moving over his hair as she gave him a smile, " what did you hear? you can tell me, it's gonna be okay. i know things are a little strange and intense right now, " she soothes, hoping that he feels reassured enough to be open with her about what he's experiencing right now. she may not ever be fully able to understand what it is like for him, but she won't ever give up on him. she loves ryan with everything she has in her, she would do anything for her son, " but i've got you and i'm gonna help in whatever i can, okay? you just need to talk to me, "

𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞, her whole body ached, she had completely lost her right eye and she was looking to a slow recovery. all the compound v in her blood had been burned away, she was human and as much as she was relieved to no longer have be queen maeve, she was not looking forward to this long recovery. honestly, she was surprised she wasn't more hurt, her left arm was in a sling, bandage over her eye and she was covered in bruises and cuts that were likely to scar. no longer made of 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐥, she was going to have to be careful with herself now, she was going to have to remember that she no longer had the strength or power she had grown used to. but nothing could've prepared for the emotional pain she felt when seeing annie again for the first time, seeing the look of pain on her face and the blonde always had such a way with words that 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐤 her right in the heart.

" she asked, her voice devoid of any actual interest or care. victoria was no fool, she knew exactly what made this slayer so 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥, she had spies of her own throughout the city and she had been almost shocked herself when she had seen the photos of this new slayer. which was exactly why she was here, acting like she didn't care but only because if he figured out she was here to check up on him, he never would've let her in the room.
