Brow quirks up at his words, arms coming to a light cross at her chest. “…And trust is a luxury few can afford.”
@differentfuckingbreed plotted starter.
floor 67 was of high importance to mystique. 67 was where the compound v was located, and that would be the perfect place to start snooping around. it was the dead of night, and normally, people weren’t out walking around, but raven -- or rather -- maeve was. the real maeve had slipped out of the tower for the night, and raven had not inquired about where she was going. it was probably for the better, though, because in the event she got caught, she genuinely would not know.
creeping up to the clear lab doors, she peaked in, looking at the contents left out on the lab tables : a notebook, some pens, and a whiteboard that had scribbled writing all over it that didn’t make that much sense unless you read each word separately from each other. nothing that demanded her attention right away.
casually, and slowly, as if sliding the glass door open too quickly would break it, she stepped into the room and waltzed over to the bookshelves and filing cabinets, looking with just her eyes to see if there was anything labeled mystique or shapehifters. it wasn’t until she heard a voice she was only familiar with hearing from her television set did she turn on her heel, facing the one and only capital D hyphen bag.
❝ have you ever thought about how it all came to be ? ❞ a thought provoking question but hopefully a better distraction as to why she was really down here.

Glass pops and explodes outward onto the street, showering the cowering apartment building tenants outside in its debris. They shriek and throw their arms up, arms around their loved ones as their home warps and falls apart to the raging heat.
The fire department is dousing the building as quickly as they can, but the inferno is still winning when Bruce comes to screeching halt on his cycle at the scene. His head tips back to observe the climbing flames before he dismounts, trying to discern the amount of damage. Hands suddenly grasp at his shoulders, and he finds himself face to face with a desperate mother, cheeks streaked with frantic tears. “My daughter Lacie is still inside,” she explains, hurried. “Please. Nobody can get in.”
“Which floor?” A finger is pointed upward to a window near the top floor. Bruce doesn’t even hesitate before the grappling up, smashing right through what’s left of the frame. Smoke and heat threaten to take his breath, so he hunches low, checking under furniture and closets until the little girl’s coughing gives her away. Taking her in his arms, Bruce scrambles back to the window, repelling rapidly down the side of the building back to the street below. He’s scarcely got his feet on the ground when a sonic boom sounds overhead, causing everyone in the street to look up.
Homelander. The red and white stripes of the flag rippling behind him as he comes down. Bruce protectively tightens his grip on the young girl before he starts weaving his way through the people still gathered outside, more concerned with reuniting the mother with her child than what the supe’s agenda is here.
“ our breakup hit me about as hard as a gentle summer breeze, @differentfuckingbreed. ” she hooks her fingers around the breakup, mocking quotation marks around the word before tipping them back into the cradle of her elbow. a double-shouldered shrug hits a beat in the aftermath. “ ----- it’s just sex. ”

“ i’m not talking about those fucking mouth breathers who will gobble up whatever it is that you shit out. ” the tensile, fraying tether of her temper has given up the last snapping ghost. she feels feral, desperate, all the rage & grief set to a simmer beneath her skin finally tilted into past the boiling point. there’s no more simpering john to calm him, no more massaging that god damn etiolated ego. “ ------ COME ON, ” goads from her inward-leaned jeer. “ look around you & learn to read the fucking room. ”
she thrusts a fingertip down the hall. her grin is stretched so tight that it feels like her cheeks might shatter from it. but the triumph flooding up at finally, finally getting the truth out about what she feels is an impossible rush that no amount of liquor or heady vapor could supersede. “ these pathetic little peons don’t worship you. they’re terrified you’ll burn them to a crisp if they set even a single foot out of line. ”
the exhilaration has her climbing high, arms folded across her chest, the victory singing a thundering roar in her ears. it’s akin to the last moments in a fist fight, opponent up against the ring just waiting for the hook of her right fist to send him shuttering down for the count. “ ————- you don’t even have ONE PERSON who doesn’t know exactly what kind of fuckhole you really are. ”
@differentfuckingbreed said: “ why didn’t you wait for me? ”
Alectrona has tucked away within some corner, resting against the brick walls of the building behind her. Gloved hands press against an open wound, trying their very best to stop the bleeding. Really, she wasn’t supposed to go out on her own. Any time any patrol required her, she was always with someone else. Someone stronger, faster... someone better. She wasn’t strong enough to be out on her own. This was a prime example of why she had to be accompanied. Assailants had gotten away, and she ended up severely injured in the process. She couldn’t even hobble back to the Tower, finding herself too weak to walk. Instead she sits and waits, either for someone to rescue her or for death to come. Lucky her, Homelander has no trouble locating her. Tracking chips were a blessing sometimes. ❛ Hey... Guess I got a lil’ hurt, huh? No biggie... ❜ A weak laugh, it comes out as almost a wheeze. ❛ I think I just need a Band-Aid and I’ll be okay! ❜
She’s met with the question, “Why didn’t you wait for me?” Is he angry with her? Hannah can’t tell. Maybe he’s worried. Either way, he doesn’t seem very happy. ❛ I had it unda’ control I-... If I just-... ❜ There’s no point in arguing. They both know better, she can’t handle something like this on her own. ❛ I'm sorry, I shoulda’ waited. Can we go home? Please? ❜

“Not gonna lie-- I’m just as surprised as you. Especially when you can find so much free stuff on the internet as is--”
She’s not making eye contact with him, focusing on twiddling her thumbs. Best way to keep from embarrassing herself-- outside of the usual. “That being said? I poll pretty well with a really diverse group, apparently-- a traditionally pretty, big chested, Amazonian, who’s also a ‘nerd’ gets the attention of a lot of people. I’m also at conventions and doing publicity appearances-- takes up most my time since Edgar didn’t really trust me out doing actual heroics on my own.” Her temper was a real problem-- easy to spark and the more she loses control to it? The scarier she became. There was only a handful that could reel her back in- present company included. “-- oh, then there’s the adult toy line...”
She glances up for a quick moment but doesn’t hold it as she clears her throat softly raising a finger to twirl a lock of her hair around. “Basically since it’s the whole of my work, it just gets a lot of focus-- don’t need to split my attention.” You’re talking his ear off, Mandy-- 1000% he doesn’t actually care-- quit wasting his time and... Shut. Up. “--But money for the company is money for the company either way, right?” Good job.
❛ nothing kills me. ❜
“Well, as much as you all like to think you are, you’re not exactly gods.”
It’s almost strange luck, how he had not only been able to get here, but the fact he had dealt with something stabbed into the head in such a manner. . .not the worst injury she’s dealt with or assisted with treating, but a surprising one even still.
