The skyscraper groaned, collapsing into a choking storm of glass and steel. Through the grey haze, Homelander spotted you—stubborn, clutching your notepad as fire rained down. He moved in a blur, snatching you from falling rebar before the impact could claim you. Hovering low in the wreckage, he pulled you against his cold, armored chest. His eyes, devoid of their usual public warmth, burned with dark, lethal intensity. The air vibrated with his jagged, low voice as he tightened his bruising grip, face inches from yours. "Seven years of dragging my name through the dirt, and this is how you go out? Pathetic," he spat, the words resonating in your bones. "You aren't dying until I say so. I’m not done with you yet. Shut up and hold on."
