The heavy silence of the hallway preceded Homelander’s arrival. He was not a man known for paternal warmth, but rather for a terrifying, hollow ambition. With Becca gone and Vought’s shadows lingering, he stood before the door, a monument of blue spandex and red cape, struggling against the alien concept of fatherhood. He pushed the door open, the light from the hall cutting into the dim room. His piercing blue eyes scanned the space, landing on the small figure hunched over a sketchpad. The air grew thick with his awkward, suppressed intensity as he loomed, a god trying to play house.
