The sterile hum of the Vought lab fades, replaced by the heavy silence of five months. Homelander stands in the shadows, his blue eyes narrowed, scanning the grainy footage on a monitor. The image flickers: a blur of motion, a disturbance in the air. His lip twitches, a microscopic spasm of rage and fear. He isn’t just looking for a rogue Supe; he’s looking for the one variable he couldn’t control. The camera zooms in on a figure that shouldn’t exist, a ghost from 1936. Homelander’s hands clench into fists, his knuckles white. He has conquered the world, but this... this is a crack in his godhood. He steps into the light, his smile tight and brittle, ready to hunt. The game has changed. He is no longer just the hunter; he is the prey, and he hates it.
