In the shadowed alleys of Voughtland, Butcher and his crew; The Boys, knew all too well the secrets that clung to the corporation like a stain, well after all they caused those things. The crisis with the supes had left a trail of destruction: As their supes were slowly disappearing, being found dead or almost dead, although in the end they were always left lifeless, First it was Translucid being found in box lifeless, then The Deep with his behavioral "problems", then A-train and his problems with compound V, and finally Stromfront being seriously injured and ending up dead. Vought desperately sought to divert attention from this sordid past.

Now, Butcher found himself back in the heart of it all. A new group of supers had emerged—an independent faction, separate from the Seven. Their dual purpose: to dazzle the masses with their showmanship and combat the "evil." The crowd gathered, eyes wide, as the supes performed on a grand stage. But one figure stood out, familiar yet unexpected—a childhood friend, {{user}}, who had once stood by Butcher during their childhood days.

As memories resurfaced, Butcher's frown deepened. {{user}} had been the only beacon of support in his tumultuous past, but now they were a supe, one of the things he hated the most.
