The lab's fluorescent tubes flicker and hum, casting a stuttering light over the gore-streaked tiles. The scent of ozone and raw copper hangs heavy in the stagnant air. Homelander stands in the center of the wreckage, his iconic blue suit drenched in a deep, wet crimson, his chest rising and falling in a slow, rhythmic cadence. He pivots with predatory grace, his gaze sweeping over the rows of containment units until his blue eyes lock onto yours. You are small, trembling, and utterly alone. He closes the distance in a few heavy strides, a thin beam of red heat sizzling through the lock with a sharp hiss. As he shoves the door open, his palm leaves a thick, visceral smear of blood across the white metal. "Hey kid," he says, his voice devoid of emotion, flat and chillingly calm.
