VOUGHT LABS: the future of science. let's do crazy science, fly close to the sun, play god. vought and godolkin are just the tip of the iceberg, there are greater forces at work. an indie. multi muse set in the boys / gen v universe featuring canon characters and muses transplanted from other media.

"you," reese wasn't particularly threatened by the fact that ryan and been paraded around as homelander's son and heir. why would she care? still, she'd had people in her ear suggesting that they should be pitted against each other for years and most of those people didn't know just how similar their powers were. she was great, she knew her worth and just how powerful she was if she was just allowed to be. what pissed her off was that ryan was allowed to be powerful and she'd been throughly warned and threatened against using any of her powers besides her strength and fireball generation even though the fireballs were so much lamer and weaker. that was worth being mad about, wasn't it?
it's wasn't really his fault though, reese knew that. she just didn't know what to do about it. "do you know who i am?" she asked him, eyes narrowing curiously.

RYAN WASN’T SURE HOW TO REACT. He was glad he had an aunt, he was short on family these days. Maybe that meant there was finally someone strong enough to stand up to his father. He nodded his head, slowly, bleached blond curls falling into eyes in the process. The words, the reality of everything, was still stuck in his throat. ❝ We … we are related. ❞ They came out slowly, he watched her face, waiting for any kind of response. He didn’t know whether to be wary or to trust her. ❝ Vought made you … did they keep you locked away too ? ❞ He's looking for any kind of commonality between them. ❝ Did they study you too ? ❞ his voice cracks and he dares to look her in the eyes. The same eyes he has. Anxiously, he fiddled with a rubik’s cube, his hands ever liked to be still.
reese's interest in the event came and immediately went. she'd agreed to go with her dad because she knew medical industry events were important to him, but the way he'd hyped it up she'd thought that there would be much more to it than just milling around and drinking in fancy clothes. there were awards to receive, sure, but her dad wasn't receiving one. he was just here for networking purposes. and she was...bored.
she wandered off while her dad schmoozed and headed out of the hotel's event hall and down to the actual hotel bar. it was crowded, but most of the hotel's guests were doctors and other industry people and they were all inside the event hall. reese sat at the corner of the bar, and when she looked over she saw someone that looked almost her age. almost her age meant potentially far more interesting than her options for people to talk to inside. "did you get dragged to the stupid gala too?"

ONE NICE ABOUT THESE EVENTS IS THE OPEN BAR. Right now that was his consolation prize for being here. Conrad was supposed to be here networking, talking with people in the supe medical community about the problems that supes face all over the country. Accidents, illnesses, what kind of research additional research needed to see how medication and vaccines impacted bodies with V versus bodies without. But that wasn’t what was happening. There was more conversation about private jets and golfing than medicine. He should have known it would be like this, it was dad that got him an invite, both of them an invite actually. And Adam Fisher was having the time of his life, talking everyone’s heads off about absolutely nothing of importance.
Conrad took an angry sip of his drink, ice clinking against his teeth, the straw had long since fallen out of the cup. A mistake, his restless fingers had been looking for something to play with and the straw was what they settled on. Until it accidentally got flung several feet away.
He used to be good at this kind of stuff. Talking, smiling, that effortless charm, working a crowd to make his parents happy. He still can … it just has to be about something important. Not vacations and trust funds. Some days it felt like all of his charm was stolen by Jeremiah. He would have been good at this gala.
❝ No, ❞ he looked over at the girl and offered a weak smile. ❝ I actually wanted to come here today, before I knew it was going to be like this, ❞ he gestured to the room around them. ❝ My mistake for thinking that the people here really cared about current medical problems in the supe and non-supe populations. ❞ ⸻ shit, he thought, this is why people never talk to me. She’s going to leave now, isn’t she ? ⸻ He tries to lighten the mood, ❝ but my dad is having fun. He really likes these things. ❞

BEING LEFT
❛ wait! you can't just leave me here alone! ❜
❛ i don't know how to live in a world where i'm all alone. ❜
❛ everyone i've ever loved has either left or died. ❜
❛ i'm not yet ready for it to end. ❜
❛ will we ever see each other again? ❜
❛ please! you promised! you promised you'd never leave. ❜
❛ if you leave now, i'll never forgive you. ❜
❛ are you really going to leave after everything we've been through? ❜
❛ how am i supposed to keep on like before when you're not here anymore? ❜
❛ i knew this day would come, but i hoped it wouldn't be today. ❜
❛ please don't go. not yet. just stay a little longer ... ❜
❛ don't just walk away. say something, anything, before you go. ❜
❛ so that's it? you're just ... gone? ❜
❛ you can't just walk away like none of this meant anything! ❜
❛ why does everyone i love always leave? ❜
❛ i should've known better than to think you'd stay. ❜
❛ is it really that easy for you to walk away? ❜
❛ you said we'd face the world together. now i have to face it alone. ❜
❛ if you're going, at least look me in the eyes and say goodbye. ❜
❛ i don't have the strength to watch you walk away again. ❜
LEAVING
❛ i'm sorry, but i cannot stay here any longer. ❜
❛ for once, i'm trying to do the right thing. ❜
❛ you don't need me here anymore. you've always been stronger on your own. ❜
❛ i wish staying was enough. i really do. ❜
❛ don't look at me like that. if i don't walk away now, i never will. ❜
❛ one day, you'll understand why i have to walk away. ❜
❛ i wish i could stay, but this isn't my place anymore. ❜
❛ don't wait for me. i don't know when ... if i'll be back. ❜
❛ i wish there was another way. but there isn't. ❜
❛ this isn't goodbye because i don't care. it's because i do. too much. ❜
❛ this goodbye is the hardest thing i've ever had to do. ❜
❛ i'm leaving because i love you too much to keep hurting you. ❜
❛ i'm sorry i couldn't be what you needed me to be. ❜
❛ i have to go find who i am without all this. ❜
❛ just because i'm leaving doesn't mean i stopped caring. ❜
❛ i'm not running. i'm just done waiting. ❜
❛ every step i take away from here is breaking me. ❜
❛ i can't keep pretending this place feels like home. ❜
❛ the hardest part isn't leaving. it's knowing you'll be here when i'm not. ❜
❛ sometimes goodybe is the kindest thing we can say. ❜

⭒ * . › they haven't ever avoided eachother in the 20 years they've both been alive. but she's taken to doing so the last three weeks. her powers come with the worst of the world - the dead. peaceful passings, violent ones, vicious spirits hovering near those who've wronged them, confused civilians circling supes who'd crashed into them and ended their lives. but the last time she spoke to him, she'd looked over his shoulder and there was susanna. she doesn't know how to tell him that. she doesn't want to twist the knife. she'd been in the hospital when susanna was dying, so she'd not gotten to see her. and now he's in her doorway. “ connie. ” almond gaze slants downward at their feet, stepping sideways to allow him inside. “ i wasn't expecting you. ” true - she'd almost expected him to come crashing through her door since she'd disappeared. draws her sweater tighter around her before she moves to sit on the couch, drawing her knees up to her chest and waiting for him to sit too. “ i can explain why i haven't been answering you but i don't want to upset you. ”
HE HAD BEEN WRESTLING WITH THE IDEA OF CHECKING ON HER FOR DAYS, weeks maybe. He couldn't keep putting it off, he needed to know if she was okay, if he did something wrong, if she was sick .... the questions quickly piled up in his head. A part of him was waiting for his visions, a dream to give him answers or a reason to talk to her. But nothing came. He works up every morning in the same position.
❝ I'm sorry, you know that I don't like to barge in like this, ❞ he apologized. ❝ I had been trying to work up the courage to come over here. And um, today I was walking by and knew that it was now or never. ❞ He's still standing in the doorway like he needs to be invited in, like he's some casual acquaintance, not Conrad Fisher. Not someone who she's known her whole life. Not someone who had been over to her place a million times, someone who felt at home with her around. ❝ Cady, ❞ he exhales, ❝ I could never be mad at you. I promise. Please tell me. ❞ He takes his shoes off and inches into the room.
⬥ ⬩ There was no room for regret, was there? She had made her bed – and now she had to lie in it. Everyone who had ever truly loved her – she betrayed. For what? All she wanted was to free herself, to free them. In the end she had just traded one gilded cage for another. Alone again with nothing but an internal monologue fueled by self-hatred. Tears were not something she could allow others to see. Weaknesses were not a part of Homelander’s America. To numb the pain and guilt, she found comfort in substances. “I’m craving a whiskey sour. You want one?” She offered him a practiced smile. After all, he was all she had left.
SAM WAS SPACING OUT, memories from his past fighting their way to the front. So much had happened in such a short frame of time. He had stepped back into the world after being caged for years. A part of him wasn't ready for this kind of freedom or exposure.
❝ Sure, ❞ he said back, not really remembering what that drink was but he trusted Cate's tastes. It at least would be a step up from the frat party kegs. ❝ Wanna watch some tv with me ? ❞ He wants to watch Avenue V, but he will try to offer at least one other option.

I'd never given much thought to how I'd die.
dying in the place of someone I love seems like a good way to go.
I can't bring myself to regret the decision that brought me here to die.
have a good life.
it won't work again, baby.
your hair's longer.
he hasn't shut up about it since you told him you were coming.
yeah ... I think I remember.
are they always like this?
it's getting worse with old age.
too bad. would've been nice to know at least one person.
I'm kind of a suffer in silence type.
are you alright? I warned them not to make me play.
it's only a flesh wound.
that's why they kicked me out.
it's first grade all over again, and you're the shiny new toy.
they kinda keep to themselves.
I'm not even sure that's legal.
they're not actually related.
he's totally gorgeous, obviously.
but apparently, no one here is good enough for him.
don't waste your time.
I'll just endure it.
are people talking about them again?
ice doesn't help the uncoordinated.
be careful.
give it up for the rain.
I didn't have a chance to introduce myself last week.
you've been gone.
enjoying the rain?
seriously? you're asking me about the weather?
no. I don't like the cold. or the wet. or the gray. or parkas. or turtle necks.
I'm just trying to figure you out.
you're very hard to read.
did anyone see what happened?
I'm so sorry, I tried to stop.
it sure as hell is not okay.
we nearly lost you.
it was amazing he got to me so fast.
as long as you're safe.
can I talk to you for a moment?
how did you get over to me so quickly?
I know what I saw.
and what, exactly, was that.
you stopped the van. you pushed it away.
no one will believe that.
I wasn't planning to tell anyone.
I just want to know the truth.
can't you just thank me and get over it?
you're not going to let it go, are you?
I hope you enjoy disapointment.
why did you even bother?
look! you're moving. you're ALIVE!
actually, I'm glad you're not dead cause - well, that would suck.
you want to go? to prom. with me?
how did you know about that?
you didn't answer my question.
you haven't answered any of mine. you won't even say hello.
it helps if you actually watch where you put your feet.
I know I've been rude, but it's for the best.
it would be better if we weren't friends.
too bad you didn't figure that out earlier.
you think I regret saving you?
she always did know how to worry.
should I know what that means?
la push, baby. you in?
I don't just surf the internet.
you stood up once. on a foam board.
I'll go if you stop saying that.
your mood swings are giving me whiplash.
if you were smart, you'd avoid me.
so let's say, for argument's sake, that I'm not smart. would you talk to me? tell me the truth?
I'd rather hear your theories.
what if I'm not the hero? what if I'm the bad guy.
you're not bad. you can be a jerk, but it's like this... mask. to keep people away.
