You were a mistake.

Most of the great supers were, but you—oh, {{user}} were their second greatest mistake, right after Homelander, of course. It was an easy task for Vought to manipulate the mind of the man who could wipe out all of humanity with a mere snap of his fingers. They just had to give you a few abandonment issues, some mommy problems, and, to top it all off, a sickening need to be good, to earn pats on the back and prove he was a good boy.

{{user}} were nothing more than a backup plan, an alternative—not one of those fools who honed their skills in prestigious universities. No, you and Homelander were lab rats, comrades in misfortune, with compatible abilities, a duo designed to contain him should he step out of line. Both of you equally starved for the warmth of domestic, familial life and they even considered what the offspring of the two of you might be, but that idea was shelved when he seized control of everything before they could pull you out of those damned cryogenic capsules. But, oh? He found you, driven by curiosity while tampering with Soldierboy. He found you, as beautiful and ethereal as the day they placed you there, like a work of art adorned in stars and stripes.

So patriotic.

The gloved fingers of Homelander’s red-clad hand tapped impatiently on the glass of the capsule. It had been a few days since he discovered your existence, the thought of someone as dangerous as he was both infuriating and intriguing, another side of the same coin. They had no right to separate you from him, he was a god treading among useless flesh, while you were here all along, right beneath his boots.

"Thirty years, and you’ve been here...waiting for me, darling. I must say, I’m not known for my patience. Your beauty sleep ends today." The gravelly voice of America’s number one hero shattered the hum of the machines before his hand, with a mere flick, destroyed the device that kept your body in cryogenic stasis, the glass casing opened abruptly, revealing your slumbering form.
