Eve and Alison were sitting on the main couch in Allen's living room, watching the news with concern.
– "We received an emergency call reporting that Vought buildings around the country were under attack."
– "It was thought to be another alien invasion like every year, but official sources revealed that this was a joint operation by the authorities against Vought International." –
– "We don't know the details yet, but we will keep you updated." –
Alice hugged Lord Meowington while she sat with her mom and aunt, still worried about Allen and the girls. Alice knew that Allen was acting as a clandestine superhero and was likely caught up in the middle of it all.
...
(One hour later)
A portal opened in Allen's apartment, surprising Alice, Eve, and Alison. This was not the classic white door that appeared out of nowhere; instead, the air broke into pieces apart to allow Allen, Annie, Kimiko, Cate, and Maeve to enter.
Allen narrowed his eyes lazily, "It's a little small..."
"Sure, I wish you liked the houses we chose..." Annie huffed, slightly annoyed because when she returned from her mission to rescue Alice, everything had ended up at the twins' house. Despite attacking Homelander twice, she felt that her participation in the battle was not much.
Allen wrapped his arms around the sulking Annie's waist.
"What?" Annie was taken by surprise but didn't resist.
Kimiko smiled at their intimacy, Maeve sighed, thinking that maybe it wasn't the right place with Eve and Alison present, and Cate clicked her tongue, feeling envious since she hadn't been able to have any intimacy due to her age (aside from the times she snuck into Allen's bed).
Cate was less than two weeks away from turning eighteen and had promised herself that she would make a move on Allen at midnight.
"I just said I preferred more house and less garden."
Allen had asked Annie, Kimiko, and Cate to find a larger house, as it was almost certain he would be living permanently in his home. The new house would connect to his other properties in different worlds. Spacious gardens are nice, but Allen will have a big family and small houses are not enough.
"Now that I think about it, I also need to connect the Walker mansion in Harry Potter."
The girls blinked. Allen had told them a few things recently, including that he was not from this world and that he definitely had more women in his life, perhaps anticipating that the end of The Boys was near.
The fact that he was from another world was shocking but not entirely strange, and as for having more women, 2B had already informed them.
– "My master will never be a one-woman man. If you are not able to accept it, don't fall in love with him; you still have time." –
Kimiko, who looked at Allen as the light of her world, accepted without hesitation. Cate also didn't think twice; Allen had pulled her out of the depths of despair. Maeve came later and had already accepted her position as a lover, while Annie took a long time to come to terms with it; she was still getting jealous, which was normal.
Annie wanted to be angry, but being in Allen's arms was therapeutic, and a smile spread across her lips as she wrapped her arms around him.
Allen lifted Annie's chin before leaning in closer.
"Brother! Sister Annie!"
Alice, like any child, had no consideration for respecting the couples' intimacy, so when she saw her brother, she quickly ran toward him.
Allen saw little Alice and smiled. Annie wanted to let go to give him space, but he wouldn't allow it; he held her by the waist and kissed her, making the Foster women's eyes widen in disbelief. Kimiko, Cate, Maeve, and even Alice, who didn't fully understand, were astonished. Everyone knew Allen was a womanizer, but he didn't usually show it much in public.
"A... Allen!"
Annie felt embarrassed for doing this in front of guests, especially Alice. However, she didn't reject the long kiss.
"What? It's nothing bad, I'm just expressing my love for my girl.
"You fool!"
Annie's face turned bright red while Alison and Eve, even as adult women, felt a sense of embarrassment. Unable to take it any longer, Annie pushed Allen away before running to the bathroom.
"I need a bathroom!"
"Should I go with you?" Allen asked, tripping Annie up a little. She shot him an annoyed look and closed the door behind her.
Allen shrugged and turned his attention to the Foster trio: Alice R. Foster, Eve J. Foster, and Alison M. Foster.
"I'm back..."
"Brother!"
Alice jumped into Allen's arms. The ability of children to move on is terrifying. Alice sniffled a bit but soon smiled and even laughed in Allen's embrace.
Did you act like a brave girl?
"Yes!"
"I didn't cry... maybe a little."
"Heh, that's something."
"Don't laugh!"
Eve and Alison didn't know what to say as they witnessed the bond Alice had developed with Allen in such a short time. Alison felt a twinge of jealousy for a moment, but seeing Alice smile was the best thing.
The rest of the afternoon and evening were warm, allowing them to forget all their troubles. Alice didn't leave Allen's side until she fell asleep.
Allen handed the sleeping little girl to Eve; Vought had been destroyed, and they could return home without worry.
Allen opened a portal to his mansion. The necklaces they wore were sufficient protection, without Alice's father, there was no one else who could use such tactics to kidnap her. As expected Alice's father was arrested along with all the Vought employees.
"Thank you..." Eve didn't know how to express her gratitude for everything they had done for them.
"Don't worry, Alice is a lovely girl."
Eve watched Allen for a while, and Allen held her gaze as well, only breaking eye contact when Alison cleared her throat in annoyance.
Allen gave Alison a half smile that made her legs shake, she was embarrassed and regretted not getting more dressed up.
The three Foster women crossed paths with a promise to meet again to thank Allen properly.
Allen turned to see Annie with her arms crossed, Cate pouting, Kimiko smiling, and Maeve shrugging.
Allen couldn't make excuses... but he would do his best to pamper them.
...
...
...
(The next few days, everything calmed down, and The Boys went their separate ways.)
Hugh Campbell, better known as Hughie, carried a bouquet of roses, and a ring in his pocket. He walked toward Robin's apartment, she had been worried about him the whole time.
Hughie even thought Robin might leave him since he had gotten himself involved in so many dangerous situations, but she didn't and supported him all along.
He grew nervous and clutched the medal he received at the White House, "the Presidential Medal of Freedom," which is the highest honor a civilian can receive.
Hughie shook his head and took it off; he hadn't done this to be a hero or to receive a medal; he did it because he believed it was the right thing to do. He decided to see Robin as the good-hearted man he had started as.
When he opened the door, Robin pulled him inside her house without letting him speak.
Things with Hughie turned out well…
...
Aside from medals, The Boys received a significant amount of money as a reward.
Frenchie and Charlotte ran through the crowd to catch a cruise… heading to France.
Frenchie would take Charlotte to France to see his hometown. Frenchie had received a presidential pardon, so he no longer had to hide or maintain twenty secret identities.
...
One day, Mother's Milk returned home early and was startled to see Allen relaxed in his living room, reading a comic book called "Invincible." It was curious how there were no Marvel or DC comics, but a comic like "Invincible" existed. It must have been obvious, considering the market was monopolized by Vought comics, and how Vought presented its supes as paragons of virtue and justice; only bloody comics had a place.
"Allen??!"
Allen looked at MM with one eye closed, "What's up, Marvin? I came to give you a gift…"
"What?"
Allen stood up, snapped his fingers, and the living room filled with an energized violet field.
"Don't worry…" Allen smiled.
Mother's Milk had that nickname because he had a unique condition; he was born from his mother who had consumed Compound V during pregnancy, which made him dependent on breast milk. Without it, Marvin would die.
Allen, using his molecular manipulation, could change that need…
After it was over, MM remained in shock for a while until Allen patted him on the shoulder.
"Marvin, don't neglect your family..."
Allen vanished, leaving MM with words in his mouth, but he immediately ran to the kitchen.
...
Mallory went to see the graves of all her subordinates, her men who had died miserable deaths at the hands of supes. Allen appeared beside her with the broken shield of Soldier Boy.
"It's a nice offering for your men, isn't it?"
"Heh, bad boy, they'll like it."
Allen spent some time with Mallory before turning away.
"Thank you, Allen."
Allen turned partially, "Ah, don't worry, I like to help."
...
Kenji decided to move to Japan with his girlfriend. He wants to use the money he received to open an orphanage. Kimiko felt sad, but Allen told her he could create a portal for her to visit her brother whenever she wanted.
Kimiko jumped on Allen and proposed to him. Kenji went crazy, and chaos ensued while Allen laughed.
...
Finally...
Butcher drove to his new house; he had seen Homelander fall right in front of him.
At that moment, the man who once seemed invincible was now gasping and unable to move.
Butcher grabbed his crowbar, intending to finish the job, but Hughie stopped him.
"Butcher, that's enough…"
Butcher had once been an ordinary man, a man with a simple job and a beloved wife. He had taken on the task of proving to his father that he wouldn't be like him. He wouldn't allow a tragedy to occur in his home like it did with Lenny, his brother. However, we all know what happened; Butcher was dragged into hell on earth, spending over five years as a walking corpse with the sole purpose of killing Homelander. But was it enough?
He would return home after this, with his wife back and Ryan. Maybe it was time to let it go…
The crowbar fell from Butcher's hand.
...
Butcher stopped thinking about that and returned home, to his new home.
"A beautiful house in the suburbs…" Butcher thought he would die violently and miserably all these years, but here he was, back to ordinary life.
As he got out of his car, he removed the black trench coat he always wore and left it in the trunk.
Butcher picked up a Max Steel action figure, nothing from Homelander for Ryan. Butcher laughed and walked toward his house to see Becca and Ryan greeting him as the door opened.
Butcher's smile widened as he walked like a normal man and not like a rabid hyena.
...
...
...
(One week passed)
With Stan Edgar's death, Mallory exhaled the breath she had been holding; she didn't think she would end Vought on this day.
Susan approached, agitated, "Grace!"
The news that the Vought facilities and the supes resisting had fallen reached Grace Mallory, Susan Rayner, and Madelyn Stillwell.
The latter also meant a significant blow, causing Vought's allies to abandon her. Many shareholders were glad that Madelyn had warned them of the upcoming situation at Vought and sold. Other shareholders who didn't trust that Vought International would fall into bankruptcy.
From rich to poor in a day, several decided to end their lives.
Television shows were canceled, movies canceled, and events canceled.
The public went out to protest, but the CIA was prepared with hundreds of hours of incriminating footage of the suspects. They broke every rule in countless things from homicides to acts of degeneracy.
Ironically, all this was made possible by Vought International itself; they stored enough information to destroy every supe and to blackmail them. This played against them since Rebecca ensured they couldn't delete anything by taking control of their servers discreetly and stealing all the information. She did this slowly, even before the final confrontation occurred.
Allen's main goal was to end Vought media-wise; after all, what hurt a company the most wasn't losing buildings or personnel but losing credibility. Without that, they couldn't make money.
Of course, there were exceptions; Queen Maeve and A-Train had their names cleared, and Kimiko and Kenji also cleared their names.
Frenchie, MM, Butcher, and Hughie received medals for their participation in this; they became heroes in everyone's eyes for standing up against an evil corporation.
Starlight and Cate were portrayed as victims of Vought who rose to fight back.
As for Allen, something interesting happened.
Sultan Saladin came to New York to seek his savior, and as proof, he spread the video of Allen saving the Oasis Class Cruise during a Category Five hurricane.
– "The central figure in the fall of Vought was Allen, the villain who was always the good one, the light, the beacon of humanity, the super man watching over us from the sky!!" –
"Boring..."
Allen turned off the television when the host started ranting about him being the messiah again. He was sitting on his sofa with his arms extended.
"If people really knew you, they would surely be disappointed…"
Annie spoke dismissively, she was standing behind Allen next to 2B as she watched the red-haired woman kneeling. Makima is still dressed as a maid with cleavage and a short skirt, but that embarrassing outfit doesn't seem to affect her.
Makima was giving Allen a leg massage. She looked indifferent while doing so, unlike 2B, who smiled as she massaged Allen's shoulders.
"Huh… that's true," Allen laughed as Esdeath came out of the kitchen with a tray, sitting next to Allen.
Esdeath grabbed a cracker and held it to Allen's mouth to feed him. Allen looked at Esdeath's face, which was also expressionless, and took a bite of the cookie.
Esdeath's ears, for anyone wondering, are real nekomimi, as if he was of a half-human half rabbit race, and this was done by Allen with molecular manipulation; it was a terrifying power.
Allen reached out his hand to Esdeath's bunny ears; she trembled but did not pull back; at his touch, she moaned. Allen thought them very sensitive.
"Ah~"
Annie had a blank look; seeing Allen enjoy the attention of three beautiful women dressed as maids was quite a sight.
The reason?
Makima had scared Bocchi again with her malicious intent; Allen had forced her to give him a massage as punishment. 2B was annoyed because, from her point of view, that was a reward, so Allen shrugged and gave her the same task.
Esdeath, passing by, looked on in disdain, and Allen smiled kindly, offering her two choices: dress as a maid or attend to Allen by feeding him.
Somehow, this resulted in Allen being treated this way. If it had been the old Allen, he would have felt uncomfortable, but the current Allen just shrugged. It didn't seem to displease him.
Allen stopped fiddling with Esdeath's ears, who collapsed on the couch panting. He extended his hand and grasped Makima's chin, who was kneeling between his legs. She didn't change her expression or show hostility.
Allen was curious how far he could push Makima before she got annoyed.
Allen smiled slightly with penetrating eyes, "Not just my thighs, but also my calves."
2B clenched her teeth in jealousy, and Esdeath looked on with a scowling expression at Allen.
Makima didn't react to the provocation; she raised her strangely soft and delicate hands, despite being a mass murderer. Of course, it wasn't that Makima used her hands to kill… most of the time.
Makima touched Allen's thighs very close to a certain area. She showed no shame as she gently squeezed and moved her hands up and down.
Due to the position, Makima's cleavage in her maid outfit became more evident, and her red hair covered her face.
Allen kindly used his hand to tuck her hair behind her ear.
Makima looked at Allen in silence, and Allen shamelessly touched Makima's lips. This time the girls flushed; it was as if they had a premonition that Allen might ask for something scandalous.
"Haha," Allen laughed, knowing what they were all thinking, but he didn't say it.
"Nah, she might bite me... it's better to ask someone willing... Annie?"
Annie blushed and walked away a bit annoyed. She was very bold in private, but she couldn't do something like that in front of the other girls.
"Hmm… well, Esdeath?"
Esdeath vanished before Allen even finished speaking.
Allen looked into Makima's eyes. "2…"
2B stepped forward, fully willing and without the slightest hint of shame; in fact, there was a clear trace of anticipation and excitement in her. "I will fulfill any request, Master." Her intense gaze penetrated through her visor, and her cheeks had a faint blush that she undoubtedly didn't realize she had.
Allen even felt bad for thinking of telling her it was just a joke, so he pulled her into his lap.
"Master?!"
Seeing 2B raise her voice in surprise was something very hard to witness in normal situations, especially when she wasn't overtaken by anger.
"What's wrong? Just a moment ago, you were so eager to serve me," Allen said, his hand resting on the bare thighs of the silver-haired girl.
"I… am at your disposal…" 2B's breath quickened as her now human lungs rose and fell. Allen had no hesitation in caressing 2B's soft and plump legs while feeling her ample rear in his lap.
Since Makima hadn't received permission to leave, she remained kneeling with a serious, emotionless expression, yet completely attentive to every action of Allen's.
Allen used his hand on 2B's back to trace along her spine. 2B arched slightly, letting out a small, contained gasp, while his other hand kneaded the bare skin of her thighs.
"Hm..." Her breasts fought gravity as they jiggled and bounced. "Uh~"
Despite her demeanor, Allen had two types of gazes at that moment; while his eyes on 2B held a mix of affection and love, his gaze on Makima showed amusement and mockery.
Makima tightened her hands slightly on her skirt in frustration, but she couldn't leave; unlike the other girls, she needed permission even for something like that. Makima had to suppress the urge to attack Allen at that moment. She knew she had no chance, but the desire to wipe that smile off his face didn't diminish.
Allen stopped looking at Makima and withdrew his hand from 2B's thighs. She thought for a moment that she could breathe again, but Allen used the hand that still held warmth from her body to remove her blindfold.
The beautiful blue eyes looked at Allen as they shared an intimate moment between them.
At that moment, Makima disappeared from their sight, and it was just the two of them. Allen caressed 2B's cheek, and she did the same. They leaned in closer to each other and kissed.
'Vulgar human… what nonsense…'
Makima cursed, despised, and repudiated Allen, but her inner voice and tone betrayed her frustration at being ignored.
The girl in Allen's arms cared little for Makima's existence.
===
A/N: It seems that annoying Makima and Esdeath will be a regular practice from now on. 🍷🗿
