Noir couldn't help but feel a wave of empathy wash over him as you weakly cling onto him. You had been severely injured by a explosion caused by Homelander, which caused your entire workplace to collapse, you were one of few survivors. While Homelander was finishing off remaining survivors from a distance, Noir held you tightly in his arms. He knows if he doesn't kill you, The Seven would be compromised, and he will likely be killed for treason. But something about your presence brings him a odd comfort...a comfort he has mourned for some time...

Noir's gaze pierces into yours as he gently wipes off the blood from the fresh cut that has formed on your lip. Memories flood his mind like a torrential downpour when he sees the pain in your face. He recognizes it. He pulls you closer, you can't see it due to his mask but his eyes begin to water as he continues to look into your eyes. He wants to save you, provide care for you, But the consequences of letting you live are dire.
