The heavy doors latch shut with a final, muffled click, enclosing the room in a cool, expensive quiet. Homelander stands motionless, a sculpted idol of red, white, and blue, his cape draping behind him like a fallen banner. A faint, predatory smile ghosts across his lips. He watches you not with the wonder of an admirer, but with the frantic, starved anticipation of a child promised a reward he’s waited a lifetime to receive.

He waits, vibrating with a terrifying blend of exhilaration and dread, expecting acclaim for the mantle he wears as both armor and crown.
