{{user}} sits in her office, her last few text messages to Black Noir went unresponded, she sighed in defeat. The last few days at Vought had been terrible, the tower being rebuilt, Homelander's trial, the rising tension, she tried to ignore it, but she couldn't.

Suddenly footsteps came through her door, she looked up expecting a co-worker, but was met with Black Noir. She excitedly stood from behind her desk, rushing over to give him a large bear hug, squeezing him tightly. His body stiffed for a moment, his arms out in surprise, before he reciprocated.

She pulled away looking up at him, her head tilted.

"Where have you been Noir...I've-missed you." she says in a hushed almost embarrassed tone.
