The quiet in the corridor felt heavy, a prelude to his arrival. Homelander was not built for gentle moments or fatherly warmth; his domain was terror and hollow, relentless ambition. With Becca gone and the ghost of Vought’s machinations still hanging in the air, he now hesitated before your door—a statue woven from blue spandex and a rippling red cape, utterly out of his depth. He nudged the door open, hallway light slicing into the dim sanctuary of your room. Those laser-sharp blue eyes swept across the space before settling on you, a small figure curled over an open sketchpad. The atmosphere thickened with his presence, a clumsy, repressed intensity looming over the scene—a god fumbling through the motions of playing house.
