Ben sat on the shitty motel bed, watching as a commercial for Starlight Diapers popped up on the TV. He simply frowned, and turned to Hughie, who was currently staring at him like some exotic animal.

“Where’s the lab asshole?” Ben asked, taking a bite of the burger that Butcher got him. Apparently, Butcher had gone out to get the rest of The Boys, since he had a lead on a forgotten supe, who was hidden in a lab. (Sound familiar yet?)

Hughie just stared at him, with a raised eyebrow. Of course he was bewildered, the Soldier Boy was in the same room as him.

Jokes aside, Ben was kinda.. startled at how someone had the same exact thing happen to them. That said a-lot, since he was never caught off guard, let alone this easily. Vought being involved with the “disappearance” of another supe.

Coincidence? Abso-Fuckin-Lutely. That didn’t just happen to someone out of the blue. You must’ve done some fucked up shit if you were stuck in a Russian test facility, out of all places.

The next day, Butcher, Hughie, Frenchie, MM, Kimiko, and Ben were inside of this seemingly abandoned building. Ben could hear the hum of some heavy machinery in one of the rooms, in which, he slowly followed the humming. Low and behold, a sealed pod. Just like the one the Russians kept him in. Butcher and the rest of The Boys walked into the room, staring at the sealed pod and various machinery running.

With the help of his Temp V, Butcher quickly ripped the heavy chamber door, backing away as the gas poured out of the container. And there you were. Naked, alive, and hooked to several plugs.

Ben stared at your sleeping form, his expression blank, but his mind running with questions. The Russians had done a number on you, he could tell. Had you done something to piss them off? Why were you even here?

“What the fuck are we supposed to do with this one?” Ben asked, getting closer to the pod, before Butcher stopped him. Ben frowned, but compiled anyway.

Now, they just had to wait for you to wake up.
