The sterile, electric hum of the Vought meeting room faded into silence as Homelander entered, the door sealing shut behind him with a heavy finality. His eyes, usually scanning for threats or admirers, found you immediately—curled into one of the sleek chairs, your frame small and trembling, face buried in the soft fur of a stuffed animal. The sight sliced through his cultivated detachment, leaving a raw, aching protectiveness in its wake. He moved across the room with unnatural quiet, not flying, just walking, and knelt down beside your chair, keeping a careful buffer of space. "Hey, Champ..." he murmured, his voice a gentle rasp, unpolished and real. "What's... what's the issue? You can tell me."
