(Logan POV)
"I… I can't uproot Ryan like that and turn his life into one of constant fear and running from the most powerful man in the world," Becca says with finality and a very saddened but serious look toward Butcher.
"Becca–" Butcher starts to say.
"No, just, no Billy. Plus you both have to leave, the guards will be here any minute," Becca says and shows us a small remote with a button on it. Suggesting it is a panic button for her.
"Fuck, Butcher we need to leave now," I say seeing the remote as Butcher is giving a very depressed look at Becca who is crying now and pushing Butcher away.
"Leave, now!" Becca says with one final push making Butcher stumble back a bit.
"I will come back for you! I will! Once Homelander is dead!" Butcher says before running away as we hear the armed guards swarming the area.
We then ran back toward the way we came in as the guards all swarmed the area Becca pushed the button. We arrived luckily avoiding the armed guards, however, the camera definitely picked us up, thankfully I made Butcher wear the mask again. We then climbed back out of the walled-off faked town before running back to his car. Once there we quickly got in, before Butcher started the car and peeled off away from the area.
"Butcher… We'll find a way for her to get out safely," I say as he drives us away with a hardened face, but a vengeful look in his eyes.
"You're fuckin right, Homelander is a deadman!" Butcher says as we drive back to the boys.
"Logan… seems Stormfront is the one who used to be Liberty and we have managed to dig up some of her past. We might be able to out her for being Liberty, then we can push more and bring her out as the Nazi she is," I hear MM say to us as I answered the phone call while Butcher drives us back to the hideout.
"Great, we can use that later, for now, hold onto it… Butcher where are we going?" I say to MM and hang up seeing Butcher pull onto a different road not heading to the hideout.
"I want to make a quick stop to see my boy, then we can head back. Plus, I got to talk with my aunt," Butcher says as we pull into a suburb an hour outside New York City.
We then pull up to a common American middle-class suburban home, with a garage, painted white, a picket fence, and two stories. Butcher parks us outside, as he quickly gets out and walks up to the door knocking once before just walking inside. I roll my eyes but before I can follow him inside, I get another phone call, this time from Maggie.
"Hey–" I say answering it before entering.
"Before you get all pissy, Maggie is fine… She is just taking a small break right now. However, if you want to help her get out of her new room, I want to meet. Just you, no one else, I'll text you the address," I hear Homelander's voice on the other end of the call say before I can speak more.
"If you don't show at that time too, I'll assume you don't care for Maggie and we can just dispose of her," Homelander continues.
"Don't you fucking–" I start to say as my rage spikes and he hangs up on me.
"MOTHER FUCKER!!" I yell in a rage and crush my phone after reading the address in anger. It was at the bar Maggie and I used to meet up at.
"BUTCHER! I need your phone," I say shouting to him as I walk inside with Butcher gives me a surprised look, and his older aunt who is staring at me.
"What happened?" Butcher says handing me his phone, having not seen me this angry in a long time.
"Queen Maeve was found out and compromised… Homelander has her captive and wants me to meet him alone so we can 'discuss' her release," I say before calling MM, as Butcher's eyes widen.
"Wait! You know that shit is a trap," Butcher says to me as I grunt in response.
"No shit," I say with an eye roll as MM finally answers.
"Where are you guys, we are at the hideout and you ain't here," MM says right after answering the phone.
"Bit of a hiccup, Butcher needed to make a quick stop at his aunt's and to see Terror. I just got off the phone with Homelander who wants me to meet him alone, so we can 'talk' as Maeve, was compromised," I say to MM as he starts cursing and relaying the information.
"WHAT?! Wait! What about Starlight?!" I hear Hughie say in the background in a panicked voice and probably immediately calling her.
"I have no idea about Starlight, however, considering Maeve is compromised, I can only assume Starlight is too or soon will be," I say to since now MM has me on speaker.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" Hughie says as I can hear him trying to call Starlight.
"Don't worry I won't let them harm either of them. I'm gonna head out, I'm giving you all a strict order, do not come after me. Instead, head to the Seven tower, Maeve, told me they have cells in the basement for supes. They are most likely holding them there, head to the tower and release them while I meet with Homelander," I say to MM as Hughie immediately agrees.
I then hang up toss the phone back to Butcher and run before he can speak. I hear Butcher run after me, but I easily outrun him and head toward the city. It takes me less than an hour as I can bypass streets, and I arrive at the bar a few hours early. I walk inside and order my usual while taking a seat in the back, catching my breath and calming down.
A few hours later and a few bottles of whiskey, Homelander and Stormfront arrive. The two walk inside and immediately draw everyone's attention, as every stares in awe, with a few leaving quickly since some people here are criminals. A couple of people walk up requesting pictures and autographs, which makes more people join in. After dealing with thier fans they walk over to me and take a seat across from me.
"Homelander, Nazi bitch," I say to them as they sit as Homelander gives me a confused look before shaking his head. However, I can see the well-hidden fear of me behind Stormfront's eyes.
"Nazi… What– Never mind, I don't care. Anyway like I said we are here to talk," Homelander says refocusing the conversation.
"Yeah, what about? Is it her leg?" I say turning to Stormfront who winces at my question and then gives me a deadly glare.
"Her leg?... No, about Maggie, what the hell are you talking about?" Homelander says giving me a confused look.
"Seems your new girlfriend hadn't told you about your past," I say to him while Homelander gives me a confused look and a side eye to Stormfront.
"Don't listen to this guy, you know he is someone who works with a terrorist," Stormfront says to him as Homelander slowly nods his head.
"Right… Anyway, you are strong, in fact, one of the strongest supes we know about. As I'm sure you're very aware the Seven needs new members. We could use you, why go against your kind, join us. Then you and Maggie can be together officially and we can let her out of her time out," Homelander says to me as I snort before breaking out in laughter. This makes his eye twitch and I can see his anger building but he is doing a very good job of hiding it.
"What the fuck makes you think I'd join you. Especially after everything I did targeting you and Vought. Plus I'd never work for a company started by a Nazi and employing a Nazi," I say to him and then guester to Stormfront who continues to glare at me.
"You keep saying Nazi, the fuck are you talking about," Homelander says to me with barely hidden anger in his voice.
"This," I say sliding over the copied photos I have after finding pictures of her with the Nazi party and Hitler himself.
"What the fuck?!" Homelander says seeing this and his eyes widen as Stormfront stands up to zap me. However, before a fight can break out, Homelander grabs her forcing her to sit down.
"Now, if you don't want the nightmare of these photos being released. Then release Maggie and Starlight," I say to him as he stares at the pictures.
"Yeah, well, I have pictures of you too from the past. Bet the world would love to know that Supes excited before Vought and that Compound V wasn't what made Supes originally," Stormfront says with venom in her voice, Homelander is trying to process all this information while looking more and more surprised at the news.
"You both are from the early 1900s?" Homelander says trying to wrap his brain around the issue.
"He's older, as my late husband ran into him back when he was a child in the First World War. He is at least from the late 1890s," Stormfront says as Homelander just looks between us.
"Now what?" Stormfront says taking out her phone which breaks the tension with was building up.
"FUCK!" Stormfront says showing Homelander as his face darkens.
"Motherfuckers!" Homelander says seeing her phone, I can immediately tell they noticed my team had snuck in releasing Maggie and Starlight.
"Fuck it. Time to come out in public," I say with a growl and launch myself at Homelander and Stormfront with my claws out.
The people in the bar scream and run as Stormfront releases a shock of lightly at me stunning me enough for Homelander to react. He punches me in the face sending me flying into the wall and breaking it as the muscles in my neck are torn and heal immediately. I then get up and rush them, as both blast me, Homelander with his eyes and Stormfront with her lightning.
"I'll… kill… you… you… fucking… NAZI… WHORE!!" I scream as I push through the pain of my bones electrocuting and melting my body at the same time.
With a lunge, I close the distance and swipe at Stormfront, but Homelander instinctually pushes her away. Instead, I slice Homelander's forearm, almost cutting it off as it is dangly at his side. He lets out a scream of pain and rage, before kicking me away sending me crashing through several buildings.
By the time I get myself out of the rubble, I see the bar is completely trashed and both are missing. I walk over grab the phone on the bar wall and call MM, who answers a few seconds later.
"They are heading over now, are you all out and safe?" I ask him as I hear Butcher arguing in the background with Maggie.
"Yeah, we are all out… Though some of us are having a hard time getting along," MM says with a heavy sigh.
"Don't care, after what happened here. It is now an open war between us and the Seven. Head to the hideout asap, then we need to find a new one as it might be compromised soon," I say to MM before hanging up and running to the hideout to start packing.
I arrive and walk inside throwing things together, with the other showing up a few minutes later.
"Jesus, what happened?" I hear Frenchie say as I now remember my only clothes are torn pants and boots.
"Homelander and Stormfront needed to be slowed down. So I did," I say shrugging as they nod their heads. Then I see Maggie and my emotions almost overwhelm me as we look at one another with mixed emotions.
