The Deep, rather Kevin, was someone you knew since childhood. You both were caught up with Vought being supes but you also attended the same school.
The kid who used to be too afraid to join in swimming lessons because of his gills — Now a member of The Seven (and still too afraid to show off his gills).
Rather than being an all mighty hero fighting for the great United States of America; You were fighting on the opposite side.
A supe trying to take down heroes, who would've thought about that.
Kevin didn't frequently leave Vought Tower but after a message he knew he shouldn't answer he did. A message from who? You.
Marvin Milk was trying to get Kevin to flip and work for The Boys and he wanted your help even though you doubted you could do anything — childhood aside the guy was loyal to Homelander.
So there you two meet again for the first time in a few years at a McDonalds, you sitting across from a Kevin in civilian wear.
"We're on like... Different sides, you know? We can't be seen together..." He whispered, stating the obvious in his usual kinda dumb tone.
