"It's been a day since Homelander's brutal massacre of the crowd that gathered to protest against him, only two survivors have been confirmed and these are Congresswoman Neuman and her secretary.

Five thousand people have been confirmed dead, some were recognized and have been given back to their families while some are still being identified due to the burns that are making it difficult for them to be.

Police, the military, and basically everyone are busy looking for him to make him stand trial for his heinous crimes.

C.E.O of Vought, Mr.Stan Edgar has come out to denounce Homelander's actions and has claimed that Vought will do its best to help the government find and detain our once most loved hero.

Many die-hard fans have taken it to platforms like Veddit to make up theories regarding Homelander's actions, some claim that Homelander is under the control of a supervillain while some are saying that he has a mental condition he's been hiding.

A lot of -----"

"Always knew that fucker will snap one day, but I never thought it will be like this."

Butcher said as he switched off the flat-screen television.

"...All those people killed, for what? Because some overpowered asshole decided to, this is so wrong."

Mother's Milk said angrily, seated on a couch facing the Television screen with Frenchie and Kimiko also seated on the couches at his left and right side.

They are currently in a medium-sized living room in one of the safe houses of Grace Mallory.

Yesterday, after Butcher and Mother's Milk's altercation with Black Noir in Butcher's aunt's house that made them have a sort of seize-fire agreement with Mr. Edagr, the team decided to lay low for a while and plan ahead since now because of Kenji their names were kinda cleared so they wanted to plan their next course of action.

But early this morning after receiving news of what happened at the rally, Mallory called them for an emergency meeting.

"Yeah..what do you guys think is going to happen now? I mean now that Homelander is a villain, do you guys think he's going to kill everyone or what?"

Frenchie asked as he relaxed in his seat with a somewhat angry expression on his face.

"Well, the government is head on his hills right now but that they ain't gonna find him soon.

The only people who are going to be able to find the cunt is those Vought assholes and assuming this is not one of their plans then the reason they haven't released his location is because they are probably stalling for time to reach out to him, we can only hope the cunt cools down and doesn't resist his trial otherwise well... it ain't gonna be pretty I'll tell you that."

Butcher explained playfully but they all could see the rage and slight happiness in his eyes since finally there's a chance for Homelander to get trailed and punished even if the possibility is low.

"You're right Butcher, if he decides to go full-on rogue then this country is going to be in serious trouble and that's where we come in."

Mallory said as she entered the room in a suit with some documents in her hands, her aged face showing how disturbed she is.

"What did Congress say?"

Mother's Milk asked as he, Frenchie, and Kimiko stood to face her with Butcher coming closer as well.

"They've decided to get rid of him. At the moment, they are giving a lot of pressure to Vought to find him.

The full force of the Air Force and Armed Forces are being prepared so that the moment his location is revealed, they get to him and hopefully eliminate him.

They tried to contact Deva but ever since he was last sighted in his Jet heading to his archipelago, they haven't been able to contact him again."

Mallory explained in a serious tone.

"That all sounds great and all but you do realize that won't be enough right? Are you turning to tell me that the people up there actually expect the cunt to die without a fucking nuke? Now that's bullocks."

Butcher asked incredulously.

"That's where you guys come in. They know that won't be enough to take him down so they've entrusted me to let you guys do a secret high-class mission for them. One that they've put on hold for a very long time."

Mallory said in a weird tone that made the team raise their eyebrows.

"What's that?"

Mother's Milk asked.

"Homelander's most likely weakness."

She said.

".... Hold up, you mean you guys knew the cunt has a weakness and you never told us!?"

Butcher questioned angrily, his face twisting in rage when he thought of all the trouble they'd gone through when something is out there that can kill Homelander.

The rest of the team also looked at her guilt-ridden face with shock as they never thought she will hide something like this from them.

"It's one of this country's greatest secrets, if I told you guys sooner my family and I could've been killed. The only reason I'm even telling you guys this is because I've been approved to do so... I'm sorry."

She apologized.

"Calm down Butcher, we don't have time for this right now. Let's hear what she has to say."

Mother's Milk calmly advised with his hands crossed on his chest.

"....Sigh, it's about Soldier Boy."

Mallory sighed and looked at Mother's Milk who raised an eyebrow upon hearing the name.

"Let's all sit down, this is going to take a while."

"What do you mean you can't let us leave!?"

Becca anxiously exclaimed towards the armed security personnel in front of her who are preventing her from entering her car with Ryan.

"Like I said M'am, we can't allow you guys to leave especially during a time like this."

The head guard said as Becca pushed the confused and scared Ryan behind her.

"Are you guys crazy!? It's especially during this time that we should leave this place, that psycho might be on his way here this very minute. Who knows what he will do."

Becca argued, trying her best to convince them to let her leave this place with Ryan.

"We have orders to make sure you guys stay put. Don't worry you are sa---"

His words got cut off as a thin beam of heat suddenly erupted from the sky and cut him into pieces.

"What th---"

The remaining guards tried to face the sky but they also got cut down in similar fashion, drenching the place in blood and gore with Ryan puking and shaking behind the frozen and shaking Becca, his innocent mind unable to handle the gore in front of them.

"Well, that was easy."

Homelander mocked as he descended from the sky and landed in front of them with a weird smile on his face.

"W-What do you want?"

Becca fearfully stuttered in front of Homelander, trying her possible best to act strong.

"I'm here for my son, of course, I hope that's not a problem?"

Homelander asked as he glanced at the now okay Ryan who is fearfully looking at him behind Becca.

"You aren't taking him anywhere, I'm not letting my son go away with a psychotic mass murderer."

She said, her motherly instincts giving her the courage to stand up to Homelander.

"Well then, I guess you have to die."

Homelander said with a crazy grin as his eyes stared glowing, making Becca so scared that her legs started buckling from the fear.

"Don't hurt her..."

Ryan warned in a dark tone as he came in front of her, his eyes murderously glowing red.

"Now that's the spirit, you remind me of myself, Ryan, you don't belong here with... them. Let's go, it's time to go back to your new home."

Homelander said proudly and stretched out his hands towards Ryan who glanced at his mother who is shaking her head while crying and grabbed Homelander's hand with a sad but resolute look on his childish face.

"You are going to be safe mom... I'm sorry."

Ryan said in a pitiful tone as he looked at his crying mother who just stood there powerless.

"The government and Virgil won't let you get away with this."

Becca found the strength to threaten as Homelander picked Ryan up.

Hearing this, he turned and looked at Becca with a mad smile on his face.

"Let them come."

He said and the next second, flew away with Ryan, leaving behind the crying and devastated Becca who is now on the floor, not paying mind to the bloody ground.
