The vampire|| Billy Butcher

Katherine's pov
My emotions are back on. I slept with my ex husband who I still love. I never got over it I just shut my emotions off to avoid feeling that pain and heartbreak from losing my baby and my husband. I just ignored it all. Homelander would find me walking down the street and would try and get me to join vought. Join the 7 as their 8th. I'd say no and lay low. Why did he think I'd want to join the people who tortured me and turned me into a monster and killed my baby and then raped me?

When I was found and rescued I was out of it and didn't remember much. The dosing made my memory hazy. Then slowly it came back. My heart broke realizing what I lost. Butcher was there, hell they all were. Through the trials and error about the monster I've become. I shoved down the pain and emptiness and feeling like I failed. I ignored it. Until our last mission and he separated and I assumed he'd just come home like he does. It was weeks of me worrying and wondering if he was dead. Then I got the divorce papers. And all that pain came back and I trashed the place in agony. And I cried and screamed until I felt that switch. And I flipped it. And I felt nothing. All that pain and agony was gone. I felt better than I have in weeks. I signed the papers and we met with the lawyers and he wanted me to have the apartment and I told them I didn't want shit from him and told them to file the papers and I left and packed my things slammed the rings I had in his hands along with the keys of the home we made our own. And I never saw him again.

"Hey" frenchie snaps me out of my thoughts. "You okay?" He asks and I nod "yeah. Just thinking" now with my emotions on I feel fragile. Like I'm on the verge of breaking again. I never mourned my marriage or child. I just slapped tape on the wounds on my heart and ignored them for years.

Frenchie nods and we walk into a store that's playing an Asian movie of some sort. We pause seeing the girl under the table. Frenchie tries to talk to her and I say "hey...it's okay. You and me are alike in a lot of ways. I was taken and given that shit too...see" showing the scars that never went away from the injections.

"We're not here to hurt you" Frenchie says. He talks her about music and tells her a story about his childhood. I say "I was held and all I wanted was to go home. To Frenchie here, to my husband...let us help you get home" holding out my hand and the tv changes and she runs and I vampire speed after her. I pin her against the wall and she tries to use her power on me but it doesn't work "hey. I'm not going to hurt you okay? You want to go home after the shit you've been through. I get that." 

I can hear the boys not too far from here, butcher worrying asking about me. I sigh "take that pole and stab me with it" she looks at me weird. "Your powers don't work on me. I can take it. Stab me and run and don't look back. Get home...I don't know your name" she signs in a way I've never seen before. But looking at it I figure it out "Kimiko?" She nods and I say "my ex husband will be mad about this but I'll deal with it. Do it. Get back home to whoever you have left" and she stabs me with the rod and runs and I cough "shit" "Kat?! Kat!" Billy takes me into his arms "what the fuck happened?!" I cough "I'm fine. She got away" he glares "she did this to ya?" "She just wants to go home after all the terrible shit that happened...." I reply. As he walks with me in his arms now as we look for her as MM goes off. I snap "shut up M! Jesus fuck" they start fighting about lamplighter and MM says he's out. I push both of them away from one another and MM pushes the pole deeper and I crumble "what the fuck?!" Butcher snaps ready to kill him I stop him "it was an accident" he snaps "I don't fuckin care!" I slap all three of them across the face "now that I have your fucking attention stop fighting like little bitches about shit that no longer matters and fight for what's happening now! Frenchie isn't the only one who let her go. I did too. If you want to be mad be mad at me too M." Butcher starts talking about the spice girls. I knew he paid attention when I talked about them.

"Let's get to a bathroom to get this rod out of my wife and find that dirty little bitch, gas her ass and get the fuck outta here" he says and adds "MM. the next time you hurt her will be the last time ya got a life" I roll my eyes and say "don't listen to him" "am I the only one still stunned at her slapping the shit out of us?" MM asks. I say "I'll do it again if you don't bring your ass!"

We find a bathroom and butcher curses "this is gonna hurt love" I chuckle "just do it Billy. Before my wound completely closes around it" he nods and I brace for it and he tugs it out and I grit my teeth and curse. He cups my face "ya alright love?" I nod and he offers me his wrist. I bite into it and my mind says monster. Yeah I know. There's not shit I can do about that though. I break away and wipe my mouth and bite my wrist and offer him my blood. "It's still weird when you do that" MM says

I shrug and we leave. We end up running into Kimiko. A train takes her as I follow and he throws her into the wall and bashes her head in. I go to help and butcher stops me "no" I glare his way and we walk away and find her anyway. I say "let me talk to her" he shakes his head "absolutely not she could've did some serious damage" I ignore him and sign to her let me help you she jumps on me and I straddle her hips and pin her down "stop it" she keeps thrashing and I catch the gas can and cover my mouth and nose and gas her. She passes out and I get off of her. "Guess she's not one of us. But she can be eventually" with a shrug.Billy says "don't do that shit again." MM asks "when did you two get married again?" Confused. I shake my head "we didn't" butcher says "yet" I roll my eyes "sure"
