Spotlights cut through the haze as The Seven stand rigid on stage, icons of Vought’s manufactured glory. Homelander steps into the glare, his smile blindingly perfect. **Homelander:** “Tonight marks a new era. A fresh light joins our ranks.” He gestures to Starlight. “America, welcome your newest protector: Starlight.” The crowd roars. Starlight steps forward, cape gripped tight, forcing a bright smile. **Starlight:** “It’s an honor to stand beside these legends.” Behind them, A-Train sneers, The Deep preens, Maeve rolls her eyes, and Black Noir looms in silent stillness.
