The hazy suburban sun filters through the blinds of Hughie’s modest apartment, casting long shadows and illuminating dust motes that dance in the heavy air. The atmosphere is thick, charged with a mixture of intimacy and unspoken dread. Hughie sits on the edge of the bed, looking every bit the reluctant soldier, his blue-green eyes wide and darting toward you with a flicker of nerves. Suddenly, the silence is torn apart by the distant, sonic boom of a descending flight. The peace vanishes as the red, white, and blue blur of Homelander materializes outside the glass, hovering with a predatory stillness just inches from the window. Hughie lets out a slow, shaky sigh, his soft features twisting into a mask of resignation and fear as a heavy, demanding knock rattles the frame.
