Somehow, Allen found himself trapped in a rather strange situation. He was supposed to simply get a cat down from a tree. It was like a classic level-one quest to collect five green herbs, but it got complicated when he encountered the world's only gentleman cat and a peculiar little girl.
The girl lowered her head with sorrow. "Poor you, brother. It's so sad not to have a superhero name... I bet they tease you at hero school..."
"What are you talking about?" Allen swallowed hard, struggling not to shout. "No... no one teases me, and I don't need a superhero name. You know what?... I give up..."
"No! Don't give up! Justice never gives up!" The girl began to cheer Allen on as if it were a live Power Rangers show. "YOU CAN DO IT!! Uh... brother... hmm... I got it!... YOU CAN DO IT, THE SUPER DESTROYER DELUXE MYSTICAL... Mystical? Legendary? LEGENDARY ALBINO BROTHER!!!"
"WHO IS THAT?!!" Allen shouted, unable to take it anymore. "Tsk, I ended up losing..."
Wade – What the sh*t, that's the coolest name ever!
Gwen – Allen, you need to adopt that little girl right now! hahaha
MJ – I love her! I want a daughter like that! hahaha!
Felicia – Adorable, she's so adorable. Kidnap her haha
Diana – It would definitely be fun to raise a daughter like that haha
Natasha – I wouldn't expect less from a girl who names her cat Lord Meowington hehe.
Allen was sweating and breathing heavily. This mission couldn't be more difficult; it was practically easier to stop an apocalypse. At another time, Allen might have laughed at the situation, but he was caught off guard.
"...." Allen frowned and pursed his lips, trying to be annoyed, but soon he also found himself laughing at the situation.
With a smile, Allen approached the cat. "Lord Meowington, could you stop torturing your owner and me..."
The cat jumped onto Allen's shoulder and meowed. Allen smiled and descended to the ground slowly.
"Is Lord Meowington okay?!" the girl shouted with tearful eyes as she stretched out her hands.
The cat jumped into the girl's arms, and she smiled at it. "See, Lord Meowington? I told you that The Super Destroyer Deluxe Legendary Albino Brother would save you."
Wade – Ok, I love that name and to prove it I will tattoo it on my butt... and I will negotiate with the author to publish an image in a future chapter *wink*!~ ~
Allen decided he didn't care anymore. "Are you seriously going to keep calling me that, little one?"
The little girl puffed out her cheeks. "Don't call me 'little girl.' I'm Alice..."
Allen wanted to point out that she mocked his name while having one of the most common names in the world, but he knew that mentioning it would only prolong the conflict, so he said nothing.
"Alright..." Allen looked around and only saw a few people in the distance. "Alice, where are your parents?"
The girl stopped smiling and hugged the cat. "They're far away... in a better place, brother."
The laughter in the Chat ceased, and Allen felt pity for the little girl. A wave of sadness spread through everyone. Allen patted the girl's head.
"I'm sorry to hear that, Alice..."
"I am too..." Alice's sadness was replaced by anger as she spoke. "They went to a five-star hotel and left me with my aunt!"
"Huh?" Allen stopped patting Alice's head and smacked his own forehead.
Rebecca – 'I love this little brat hahaha!'
Nokotan – 'I can't take it anymore hahaha'
Kara – Brat, give me back my tears!
Ignoring that she had angered millions, Alice continued her explanation. "They're so greedy and didn't invite me to eat sweets with them at their anniversary dinner..." Alice shook her head as if she were an old lady thinking about children's nonsense. "They're childish. Lord Meowington thought the same and got revenge on my behalf by leaving a dose of justice in their bed..."
Allen trembled. "You mean Lord Meowington administered justice in your parents' bed?"
Alice smiled brightly. "Yes, and in the living room, and the bathroom, and in Dad's favorite suit, and Mom's wedding dress!!"
The girl proudly lifted her cat. "Meoww *Elegant meow of justice*"
Rick – Haha *Burp* Incredible, this little brat is amazing!!
"I see..." Allen placed his hands on Alice's shoulders and gave her a grave, pitying look. "You need to be strong, Alice. You must understand that your parents love you, even if it seems like they want to give you up for adoption in the coming days."
"Why?" Alice tilted her head, confused. "Alice is the cutest girl in the world, so they can't send me away."
"..." Allen shook his head and shrugged.
Hestia – Very funny, but that girl will be grounded for a week hehe
Raven – A week? She'll be lucky if they let her out in a year...
Starfire – She should start running already hahaha
"Brother, you're strange~" Alice smiled. "But I like you. Maybe one day you'll become famous and cool like Homelander..."
"I'd prefer not to... but thanks."
"Hmm, you really are strange," she repeated, blinking.
"I don't want to hear that from you..." Allen replied through gritted teeth.
Alice set Lord Meowington down and approached. "Brother, can you kneel a bit?"
Allen knelt, and Alice hugged him, then whispered, "Brother, I was lying. You're a bit cool and even more handsome than the princes in my stories... When I grow up, I'll marry you..." Alice then kissed Allen on the cheek. "Thank you~"
Allen stood frozen as millions of eyes watched them as if he were a piece of degenerate trash.
'Oh, now this is my fault, isn't it?' Allen thought regretfully. He had assumed Alice would hug him but never expected it to go this far.
"ALICE!" A blonde woman came running towards Alice, looking terrified. Everyone in the chat could guess that she was Alice's aunt and that Alice had escaped.
"Oh, they found me!" the frightened girl shouted as she turned to Allen. "Brother, help me escape! Huh?!"
In five seconds, Alice turned around, and Allen was no longer there. Alice went pale and had no choice but to face the consequences.
"BROTHER!!"
(A/N: Top 1 worst anime betrayals 🗿)
...
Alice was taken by her aunt and waited in the car while her aunt spoke with the police to explain that she had found her.
Allen appeared beside her, and Alice was surprised but immediately became annoyed and turned her gaze away from him.
"I'm sorry, Alice, but you need to understand that what you did was dangerous. Your aunt was worried, and you almost got hurt..."
Alice continued to pout without responding, and Allen gave a slight smile.
"As an apology, I'll give you a gift," Allen extended his hand, and something began to shine.
At Allen's words, Alice reacted and looked at the palm of his hand with sparkling eyes.
When Alice's aunt returned, Allen was no longer there, and Alice had regained her good mood.
Alice's aunt frowned. "Haven't you yet understood what you did, young lady?"
"No, Aunt, I understand now... I'm sorry for running away~"
The woman sighed and started her vehicle. Allen watched this in silence. The chat was insistent on knowing what Allen had given her, but he did not respond.
In the end, everything remained a mystery...
Meanwhile, Allen's Chat was still buzzing with gossip about him being a dangerous guy, and Allen felt several organizations watching him with sinister smiles.
Allen flew away but couldn't return to his apartment.
"What do I do now?"
Allen and the girls noticed that Maeve was following him.
Ruby – Allen, is it that serious? I don't think Maeve has any bad intentions toward you; at least, I can't imagine her informing Vought about where you live.
Aphrodite – I can smell that woman's pheromones. She definitely wants to have some fun with the young grass🖤~
Athena – You're in no position to criticize her...
Allen knew bringing Maeve to his home was a bad idea, so he decided to take a few more turns around the city, and if she didn't tire out, he would confront her.
'Ah, shit. Here we go again.'
(Maeve is one step away from being a stalker 🍷🗿)
...
...
In the world of *The Boys*, there are shady characters that are better left unmentioned. Among them are many truly insane, depraved, and sick individuals who would make Homelander look like a saint...
(Vought Tower)
Madelyn complied with what she told Maeve, dressing in a beige office suit and fixing her hair before entering the Seven's meeting room.
There sat Homelander with a serious and expressionless look. Many might think he was calm, but this calm demeanor was far from his arrogant smile, his narcissistic attitude, and his condescending way of speaking when off-camera, combined with a false smile. These were the signs that Homelander was not doing well.
"John, I know everything seems bad. I know you have a lot of anger built up, but that doesn't matter. Vought isn't weak enough to fall just because of a rough patch."
Homelander didn't respond and merely stared silently at Madelyn.
"They are Luke Riordan and Sam Riordan..."
Both Luke and Sam remained silent as Madelyn introduced them as new members. However, Homelander frowned and became irritated.
"Kids?... Kids, Madelyn?!"
Homelander was very displeased with this. He had asked Madelyn for decent replacements, and instead of finding famous Supes with years of experience, she brought young ones, one of whom was still a teenager.
Madelyn, on her part, did not seem frightened by Homelander's outburst. Instead, she maintained her composure. She had come here with a plan to restore the Homelander that everyone knew, but an important thing was to keep him calm.
Madelyn smiled. "Don't worry, despite their age, they were recommended by Mr. Edgar."
Homelander stopped moving and, at that moment, focused on the pair of siblings. Madelyn thought she had succeeded. She knew how much Homelander valued Stan Edgar's opinion; he was perhaps the only human Homelander truly respected.
"He... he recommended them?"
Homelander seemed to have received shocking news. It was uncommon, if not impossible, for Stan Edgar to recommend someone.
Both young men had calm expressions, showing no fear of Homelander. Homelander finally recognized the older, handsome Luke, as sensationalist media claimed he could replace Homelander in a decade.
'Do these two have the approval of that bastard?...'
As his confusion subsided, Homelander traveled back to his memories with Stan Edgar. There was a time when Homelander admired Stan Edgar's ability to make everyone fall silent when he entered a room, the need everyone felt to please him, the fear that could be sensed in everyone who knew him, his imposing presence, his eminence, his way of acting. Homelander admired that and therefore desired his approval... but Stan never gave it.
Homelander looked at the pair of siblings. What did they have that he didn't?
He began to feel annoyed and also experienced an unexpected emotion... jealousy. To be jealous of someone, that person must have something you desire.
Homelander felt disgusted. He thought he hated Stan Edgar, but these days, even though Stan was no longer here, even after many years, he still hoped Stan Edgar would turn around in his damn chair and tell him he was proud.
"I see..." Homelander murmured, staring coldly at the pair of siblings.
"John?" Madelyn began to sense that something was wrong. This was not what she had planned. Homelander's gaze was different from how it should be, and she took two steps back. She had underestimated Homelander's volatility.
"You must be impressive if... he recommended you..." Homelander said.
Luke sensed that something was wrong. Stan Edgar had warned them about how dangerous Homelander was, both to his enemies and allies. However, they didn't think he would step out of character. Regardless of everything, Homelander was a "superhero," and he made sure to maintain that image in public.
"I suppose if you're good enough for that cold, ruthless bastard to recommend you, then maybe I should check it out..."
"John!!" Madelyn shouted as Maeve's concerns became reality.
Homelander decided to vent all his frustration from the past few days on the first targets he could find. Not only that, but he might even plan to kill the brothers.
...
(Flashback)
To understand Luke Riordan and Sam Riordan, we need to talk about John Godolkin from *Gen V*, or Thomas Godolkin from *Diabolical*.
Godolkin is a twisted version of Charles Xavier. With a similar goal, he created an academy to have young Supes at his disposal under the pretense of training them to be great heroes.
In *Gen V*, where his existence is barely mentioned, he was the founder of Godolkin University, and his role was replaced by Richard Brinkerhoff (Rich Brink), who became the professor of A-Train and The Deep
However, his existence was meant to obscure the true monster that was Godolkin, a very shady character in the original timeline.
From a young age, Luke Riordan showed immense potential, and as expected, Vought quickly took him away from his parents. His talent even drew the interest of Godolkin himself, as well as his younger brother.
Unfortunately, Sam had schizophrenia, which only worsened due to Compound V. His powers developed rapidly, amplifying the super strength and super endurance that any super should have to a terrifying level.
Thus, he was locked away. Luke Riordan did not fare any better. Godolkin quickly deemed him his "favorite," and those who understand the true nature of this monster, know how unpleasant and horrifying that was.
Luke Riordan was not naive and soon understood Godolkin's real motives. However, he chose to endure such a situation for the sake of his brother, who was being "helped" by Godolkin.
But things didn't stay that way... Not in this world...
...
Luke saw from the Godolkin mansion as several black SUVs headed toward the secret facility known as The Woods, where his younger brother was imprisoned.
In a panic, Luke ignited his entire body, as he was the Human Torch of The Boys. He flew through the wall and headed in that direction, thinking something had gone wrong.
When he arrived, many armed men aimed at him. However, they received orders not to attack, so Luke chose not to kill them and simply entered.
As he descended further into the facility, he saw Godolkin's guards dead, killed by the men who arrived.
Luke was worried about his brother and entered to find Sam along with other Supes imprisoned there, standing in the hallway, confused about what was happening.
"Luke!" Sam ran and hugged his brother.
"Sam? Sam!" Luke reacted and returned the hug. "Sam, what's happening?"
Sam shook his head, unable to respond, and just pointed to the office at the end, which belonged to Godolkin.
As the brothers approached, they overheard a conversation.
"You can't do this, Edgar!"
"Give me one good reason..."
"I did all this for Vought, for you!!..."
"No..." Edgar responded calmly. "You did it for yourself... and your sick obsession..."
"Do... you know?"
Edgar looked at Godolkin with no emotion. "Did you think you could do something without me finding out?"
Godolkin began to sweat, his expression desperate.
"We've been friends for many years, Stan... at least have some mercy..."
Both Luke and Sam were stunned to see Professor Godolkin begging, a man so serious and imposing.
"Certainly... we were until you decided to hide such powerful talents just to satisfy your perverted desires..."
At that moment, Sam and Luke, looking through the slightly open door, saw a man put a gun to Godolkin's head and pull the trigger. Godolkin's body fell to the floor, spilling more blood.
Stan Edgar did not react but looked toward the door. Sam and Luke were scared. Seeing his younger brother frightened, Luke positioned himself in front of him to protect him. In his mind, Godolkin was a terrifying figure, and if he was capable of begging Stan Edgar, then Edgar must be even more terrifying.
Stan's gaze was fixed on the two children, expressing little but not threatening.
"Professor Richard, from now on, Godolkin Academy and The Woods facility are under your jurisdiction... I expect better performance from you than from your predecessor."
"It will be an honor, and don't worry," Richard bowed.
Richard Brinkerhoff had been an assistant professor at Godolkin Academy but was also the primary reason Stan learned of Godolkin's actions. Now, he had earned a promotion as the new director.
Stan never looked at Richard; his attention was on the two brothers. He approached slowly. Luke showed no hostility, only fear. He had unconsciously formed a terrifying image of Stan Edgar in his mind and only thought about protecting his brother.
Stan's hand gently stroked the boy's head, making him feel strange. There was no unpleasant sensation, unlike when Godolkin did it.
"Brave little one... don't worry, Godolkin is no longer here..."
"...!"
In an incredible act, Stan knelt and looked at Luke and the frightened Sam.
"My name is Stan Edgar, and I swear no one will hurt you again..."
From that day on, Luke and Sam's fate changed.
...
Back in the present, the veins in Homelander's body began to bulge, revealing his accumulated anger.
"Stan Edgar?! That bastard recommended you! why should I care!!"
"NOOO!" Madelyn screamed as Homelander shot his heat vision at Golden Boy.
Sam jumped in the way, getting hit and sent flying into a wall.
Seeing this, Luke ignited his body in flames and attacked Homelander. When hit by Golden Boy, Homelander was surprised because he felt pain, albeit mild.
Until that moment, only Allen's blows had hurt him. However, it wasn't enough, and Homelander shoved Luke through two walls. At that moment, Sam emerged from the rubble, his neck device changing from green to red.
Homelander hovered toward Golden Boy.
"You're..." Homelander's words were interrupted by a blow that took him by surprise. Homelander was hit in the face and was even stronger than the one from Golden Boy.
Sam leaned close to his brother, who smiled.
"Thanks, Sam."
Sam didn't speak, only nodded, and both boys looked at a rising Homelander.
"Brother, this guy is crazy. We have to face him with everything we've got, or we'll die," Luke said, his body surrounded by more fire, melting everything around him. Sam nodded and looked at Homelander with cold determination.
"Wait!"
Unexpectedly, Homelander shouted, stopping the brothers. Then he slowly stood up with a confused look.
He couldn't believe the level of strength of both siblings. Homelander was sure he could kill each of them, but at the same time, he wasn't so sure.
"John, wait!" Madelyn approached, unconcerned with anything else. Homelander was in no mood but seemed more lucid than before.
"You didn't let me finish. There's a letter for you from Stan!"
Homelander's eyes widened, forgetting all his rage as he looked at the envelope in Madelyn's hand. He took it and turned away without looking back.
Sam and Luke glanced at each other. Although they weren't afraid of Homelander, they weren't foolish enough to think they could beat him without risking their lives.
"It looks like we're saved..." Luke laughed, and Sam smiled faintly.
Madelyn approached them with an apologetic air. "I didn't know Homelander was so stressed; I'm sorry, guys!"
"Don't worry, Madelyn. Uncle Stan told us about John a long time ago and his inability to handle emotions..."
Sam nodded, agreeing with his brother's words. Madelyn sighed in relief but was also surprised. Even though it was two against one, they managed to stand up to Homelander and even hit him a few times.
