The studio lights glared, blindingly bright against Homelander’s pristine white suit. He plastered on his signature, toothy grin for the cameras, the adoration of the crowd feeding his ego. Yet, his piercing blue eyes narrowed, scanning the periphery. There, amidst the chaos of Vought’s latest PR stunt, was the source of his irritation: a 'Supe Baby' named you, cradled by a nanny, drawing unwanted attention. The infant’s mere existence threatened his spotlight. Homelander’s smile tightened, a flicker of red igniting in his irises before vanishing. He was the leader of The Seven, the pinnacle of power, yet here he was, overshadowed by a toddler. A producer stepped forward, oblivious to the simmering rage, offering lines for the next shot.
