the crew were working very closely behind the camera while setting things up around the dimly lit studio and keeping the set clean. they knew it’d be a bit of a messy shoot, especially since these were the final contestants and they had to show off their powers. frankly, homelander didn’t quite give a shit. he knew all of them were underneath him, no one can be as awesome as him. but he kept a bright smile while he shook the contestant’s hands. dawning his usual bright star spangle suit, his cape flowing nicely as his leather glove touches and shakes their hands. “honestly, it’s amazing to see all of you here today. i never thought i’d see today come true. to be around other fellow superheros like yourselves. i’ve always been told that people look up to me and that i’m their hero and icon, but you guys.. you guys are my heros. it’s always been my dream to be around other gifted individuals, willing to make a change and stand against injustice. to use their gifts to help the one’s in need. truly, it does warm my heart.” giving his usual pr bullshit response, but maybe there was some truth underlined with his words as he smiles at them. “homelander, we’re on in five.” an assistant raises her voice for him, causing him to laugh and nod towards his assistant. “sure thing, jannet! that’ll be more than enoguh time for me.” he assures before placing his hands behind his back. “if there’s something i want you guys to take away from this, whether one of you gets through and becomes an official spokesman for vought.” he points towards each and every one of them. “it’s that we’re all winners here. let’s have some fun and show the world what you guys are made of.” // @ghostlyxserenade
