We suit up quickly and fly back to the Tower, Deep dragging a heavy box behind him, Homelander lifts the lid to find a trash bag full of, well whats left of Translucent. Hes in chunks stuffed into there, at least I'm calling it chunks. Homelander calls Stillwell and sounds calm, but I can see past his calm demeanor, he's pissed.
Stillwell comes in, "Alright, I got your message, wheres the fire? Other then you Apollo," she asks.
I roll my eyes.
"No, no, not fire. Water," Homelander says, "Just ask my little guppy here."
He motions to Deep.
"Well, a very good friend of mine found this?" Deep explains.
"It was a fucking porpoise, a porpoise found this at the bottom of the Harbor," Homelander snaps.
Deep begins to unlock the box and Stillwell takes a few steps closure with mild hesitation and amusement. She slowly opens it before gasping in shock and stumbling back.
"Jesus Christ, is that Translucent?"
Homelander smirks, "Still think we got nothing to worry about."
"How did they even get through his skin? What kind of maniac" she says.
" Nope, not maniacs. Smart, actually. They're very smart," Homelander says, striding over to Stillwell with anticipation.
Hes gonna drag this out.
"The box is made out of zinc, they didn't want Homelander finding it right away, but they wanted it to be found," I cut in and explain.
I get closer the box and they all get out of my way.
"How do you know they wanted it found?" Stillwell asks.
I pop open the box again and stand next to Stillwell and Homlander. Painted on the inside of the lid is the words Coming for You
"Well whoever it was, they just declared war," Homelander says.
Stillwell leaves to go make some calls about the Translucent situation, and Deep bolted the second he got a change. Leaving me here alone with Homelander. I walk over to him and pull him in for a big hug.
"I'm so sorry," I say.

Homelanders POV
She pulls me in for a hug.
"I'm so sorry," she says,
She thinks I'm upset about loosing Translucent. I don't give a fuck that he's gone, but I can use this.
I hug her back and let out a sigh.
"Its...its okay," I say.
God her smell, its so good.
"If you need anything at all, and I mean anything, just let me know and I'll be there., she says.
She plays with my hair lightly in the back in a soothing way. I force a few tears down my face and fake a sniffle. She takes my face between her hands and wipes the tears away and kisses me on the forehead. Her lips are smooth, and I can't help but imagine them on mine. Them all over me, all over my body, I want to be all over her body.
