‘Picture perfect..!’

˗ˋˏ ♡ ˎˊ˗

The next morning, you woke up before the sun

Not because you wanted to.

Because years of living underground had trained your body to wake before anyone came through the door. For sixteen years, mornings had meant tests, evaluations, blood draws, interviews, or another doctor asking the same questions in a different way. Even in a luxurious apartment high above the city, your body still expected the sound of heavy boots outside your bedroom. It still expected the sharp click of locks opening. It still expected someone to tell you where to stand and what to do.

‘After The Cameras’

summary: Vought suddenly treats Y/N like a celebrity while still controlling every part of her life, and how Homelander acts around her now that the public knows she’s his daughter.

The applause followed you long after you stepped off the stage.

The moment the cameras stopped rolling, the smiles disappeared.

A production assistant hurried over and unclipped the microphone from your suit. Another fixed your cape before leading you backstage. Publicists crowded around you, talking over one another as if you weren’t even standing there.

‘Loyal Conditioning’

summary: At age ten, Vought tries to force Y/N to love Homelander through “loyalty conditioning,” but the experiment fails. Six years later, Y/N is forced to pretend to bond with him before joining The Seven—only this time, she turns the situation against him and begins making her own plan.

warnings: astra is a super name— not an oc, long chapter oof, Child experimentation, emotional conditioning, forced family roles, corporate abuse, isolation, manipulation, psychological coercion, implied threats, references to past character death, and emotional trauma

You were ten years old when Vought decided you needed to love them.

They didn’t say it like that, of course.

Vought never used words like love unless there were cameras nearby. They preferred words like trust, loyalty, attachment, and family.

Madelyn Stillwell called it:

Loyalty Conditioning.

‘The Sky Lie’

summary: Vought throws y/n a televised “birthday” with Homelander for PR. She thinks today’s the day she’ll finally see the sky. She learns two things: maybe means never when he says it, and he could have given her the sky but didn’t.

˗ˋˏ ♡ ˎˊ˗

context: y/n is 5 years old, angsty, crying, etc i may not be aware of.

You were five when you learned that daddies on TV lie.

Real daddies do too.

It started because you asked about the sky.

You had been asking about the sky for two years, ever since Homelander said “you’re getting big” and you decided that big girls get to see the sky.

Dr. Virelli said “defects don’t get windows.”

Nurse Anna said “maybe when you’re older.”

Ashley Barrett said “we’ll ask your father.”

You believed her.

You were now five.

You believed adults when they said your father was busy saving the world.

Homelander came back on your “date of viability.”

Vought called it a birthday for the press release.

There was a cake. It was white, and it had one candle, and it said Happy Birthday Asset 17B in blue icing.

There were cameras.

Homelander was wearing the suit. Like always..

He smiled for the cameras, and it was the same smile from the toothpaste commercials.

It did not reach his eyes.

You were excited anyway.

You were wearing a new dress. It was also a mint color with a small white jacket. It itched.

You had practiced what to say.

Nurse Anna helped you. She said, “Say ‘thank you, Daddy, for visiting me.’”

You said, “Thank you, Daddy, for visiting me,” and you meant it.

Homelander stood three feet away from you.

He did not touch the cake.

He did not touch you.

He said, “Blow out the candle, sweetheart,” for the cameras.

His thought was ‘I should have let them terminate the pregnancy. This is a liability with hair..’

You did not blow out the candle.

You were listening to his thought, and you were five, and you did not understand the words terminate or liability.

But you understood the feeling behind them.

It felt like Dr. Virelli when she said “defects don’t get dessert.”

It felt cold.

You looked up at him.

Your voice was small. You said, “Can I see the sky today?”

You had been waiting two years to ask.

You thought today was the day because he came, and there was cake, and the TV said birthdays are when wishes come true.

Homelander’s smile did not move.

For the cameras, while fake smiling he said, “Maybe next time, kiddo.”

His thought was ‘There won’t be a next time if I can help it. She hears too much. She’s dangerous. ‘

You heard both.

The words and the thought.

They did not match.

Your face did the thing it did when you were trying not to float.

Your lips pressed together. Your hands made fists.

You said, “You’re lying.”

You did not mean to say it out loud.

You were five.

Five-year-olds are bad at secrets.

The room went quiet.

The cameras kept rolling.

Homelander’s eyes did something dangerous.

He said, “What did you say to me?”

His voice was soft.

His thought was She’s challenging me. She’s three feet tall and she’s challenging me.

You were not challenging him.

You were confused.

You said, “You said maybe. But you’re thinking never. Why are you thinking never?”

Stillwell was behind the glass.

She mouthed Sedate her to Dr. Virelli.

Dr. Virelli moved toward you with a syringe.

You took a step back.

You did not mean to.

When you took a step back, the cake took a step back.

The table took a step back.

The camera on the tripod took a step back.

The whole room sighed and leaned away from you.

Homelander watched it happen.

He did not look scared.

He looked interested.

His thought was Good. Show them why we keep you in a box.

You started to cry.

You did not want to make the room move.

You did not want to be scary.

You just wanted to see the sky.

you look up at your dad and pleaded “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to. Can we still see the sky? Please?”

Homelander looked at you.

Really looked at you.

He saw a five-year-old in an itchy dress, crying over a cake, asking for something he could give her with one flight.

He thought If I take her to see the sky, she’ll love me. If she loves me, she’ll be loyal. If she’s loyal, she’s controllable.

Then he thought I don’t want her to love me. Love is leverage, and I don’t want her to have any.

He made his choice.

He turned to the cameras and said, “Looks like someone’s got a case of the birthday blues. Let’s get Asset 08B back to her room.”

He did not say your name.

You did not have a name.

He did not say my daughter.

He did not touch you.

He walked out.

Dr. Virelli caught you before you could float.

The sedative went into your arm.

It burned.

You heard Madelyn think Edit out the part where she called him a liar. Keep the part where he calls her sweetheart.

You were asleep before they moved the cake.

You did not get to eat it.

Defects don’t get dessert.

You woke up twelve hours later in your room.

The teddy bear was on the floor.

You picked it up.

You did not hug it.

You held it and you thought Daddies on TV lie. My daddy lies too.

It was the first true thing you had ever learned about him.

—

You were five.

You learned that the sky was not for you.

You learned that maybe means never when Homelander says it.

You learned that he could have given you the sky, and he chose not to.

That was the day you stopped calling him Daddy in your head.

After that, he was just Homelander.

“Raising” A Weapon

summary: homelander finds out he has a daughter..?

info: young reader, horrible father

chapter 1

chapter 2

---

Homelander did not find out from a phone call or a tearful confession. He found out the way he finds out most things: because Vought told him, and they only told him when they needed something from him. It was 2 years after your birth. He was in Madelyn Stillwell’s office, reviewing the marketing deck for the rollout of The Seven.

He was bored.

He was already the strongest man on the planet, and Vought was making him sit through focus group data about whether his smile tested “approachable.”

Madelyn closed the folder and said, “We have another item to discuss.”

Her tone was careful.

Homelander hated when people used that tone with him. It meant they were about to ask him to be patient, and Homelander did not like being patient.

She slid a file across the desk. The label read Project 1358 Phase 2, Asset 08A.

He did not open it.

He said “i told you i didn’t want a sidekick.”

Madelyn said “It’s not your sidekick. It’s your daughter.”

Homelander laughed.

He actually laughed, because the idea was stupid.

He did not have a daughter.

He had never slept with anyone without Vought filming it, and Vought would not have hidden a pregnancy from him.

He said, “I would know if I had a kid.”

Madelyn opened the file for him.

The first page was a lab report.

The second page was a DNA match.

99.98% probability of paternity, confirmed by three separate Vought labs.

The third page was a photo.

You were five.

You were in a white room, floating four inches above a cot while you slept.

Your eyes were closed, but your hair was the similar to his real hair color.

Your mouth was set in the same line he saw in the mirror every morning.

Homelander stared at the photo and did not speak for a long time.

His first thought was Impossible.

His second thought was They made another me without asking me. His third thought was Is she stronger than me?

Madelyn said, “The surrogate was part of the original Compound V gestational trials. You donated in ’03. We cryogenically preserved several samples. After the Soldier Boy incident, the board authorized Phase 2.”

Homelander heard board authorized and without asking me and his vision went red at the edges.

He said, “You grew a child in a lab and didn’t tell me.”

Madelyn said, “We were waiting to see if she was viable. She is. She’s more than viable.”

She tapped the photo. “She’s already manifesting. Telekinesis, flight in sleep states, and something we’re calling empathic projection. She hears thoughts.”

Homelander’s jaw tightened.

He thought She hears thoughts. She’ll hear what I think about her.

Out loud he said, “Where is she?”

Madelyn said, “The Tower. Subbasement 4. She’s been in containment since birth for her own safety.”

Homelander stood up.

He did not ask to see you.

He asked, “What does she know?

Madelyn said, “Nothing. She thinks her name is Asset 08B. She thinks she’s sick, and the sedatives are medicine. She has no knowledge of you or of the outside world.”

Homelander processed that.

You were five years old.

You had been alive for five years, and you did not know his name.

You did not know the sky.

You did not know that you were not a disease.

He should have been angry for you.

He was not.

He was angry for himself.

His thought was they made a replacement. They made a better version and they hid her until they were sure.

He said, “Take me to her.”

The walk to Subbasement 4 was long.

Madelyn talked the entire time about “legacy planning” and “generational heroes” and “marketability of a family unit.”

Homelander did not listen.

He was thinking If she’s stronger, I need to control her. If she’s weaker, I need to distance myself. Either way, she cannot be mine.

The door to your room was steel.

There was a window.

You were inside, sitting on the floor, lining up blocks in a perfect row.

You were playing.

You were pale, and too thin, and your hospital gown was too big.

Homelander watched you through the glass and felt nothing he recognized as paternal.

He felt assessed.

He felt threatened.

You looked up, as if you had heard him.

You had.

You were five, and you were already listening.

Your eyes met his through the glass.

Your thought hit him before he could shield against it, high and clear and curious: Who are you? You’re like me. Why are you sad?

Homelander took a step back from the door.

He said to Madelyn, “She stays here.”

Madelyn said, “Of course. Until she’s ready.”

Homelander said, “She’ll never be ready,” and walked away.

He did not visit again for two years.

When he did, he brought a camera crew.

He called you “my little girl” for Vought+.

He thought Say it back. Say it so I know you’re controllable.

You did not say it back.

You never did.

That was how Homelander found out he had a daughter.

Not with joy.

Not with love.

With a file, a photo, and the immediate understanding that you were either his greatest asset or his eventual replacement.

He decided to treat you like both.
