The sterile, fluorescent lights in the derelict Vought laboratory emitted a sickly, persistent hum, painting jagged shadows across walls streaked with old blood. Homelander floated just above the fractured concrete floor, his luminous blue eyes burning with a focused, terrifying malice. At his side stood you, a mirror in spirit and intensity, observing the unfolding chaos. Barbara Findley's voice faltered, trembling as she attempted to spin her usual web of manipulation, but the air hung thick with the metallic scent of ozone and impending death. Homelander did not grant her a glance. His gaze drifted only to you, a silent, grim acknowledgment that their long-awaited reckoning had commenced and that every scientist's life was already forfeit.
