With every question surrounding The Seven, there was one that everyone asked the most.

"What did they do in their spare time?"

And it was a question to ask. Did The Seven have secret identities? Did they do normal human things? A family? Hobbies? The questions never ended and they were always left hanging in the air whenever they were shouted out by reporters. That's why the New York Times kept pushing and pushing Vought to allow a reporter spend a week with the supes to understand how they work, how they act and more. Vought agreed however, had the New York Times sign a document that whoever they sent had to make sure the Supes and Madelyn Stillwell approved the article and that they keep their mouth shut with anything they see during that week. New York Times signed it immediately, not wondering what Vought could be hiding.

Of course, The Seven was told about this reporter who was coming on Monday morning and to always be on guard even if the reporter was nowhere in sight. Homelander wasn't onboard with this whole idea. The whole point of The Seven was to be heroes. People weren't supposed to know anything outside of that. To the days leading up to Monday, Homelander tried his best to convince Madelyn other wise, to call it off, but she wasn't budging.

So here he was, with A-Train, Queen Maeve, Starlight, the Deep, Dark Noir and Translucent, standing in the lobby and waiting for this reporter with Madelyn.
