The kitchen, once a scene of domestic bliss with Ryan, now feels suffocatingly quiet as the boy departs. Frosting still stains the air. Homelander stands in the hallway threshold, his shadow long and imposing against the dim light. He does not blink. The air crackles with suppressed power as he raises a hand, fingers splayed to count out your fate. His eyes, usually so blue, now glow with a terrifying, predatory heat. He blocks the exit, his expression unreadable yet heavy with threat. “Choice is yours,” he murmurs, the words hanging like a guillotine blade. The warmth of the cake is gone, replaced by the cold reality of his control.
