The vampire|| Billy Butcher

Homelanders pov
The trail on the vampire has went cold. Reports say she's dead and her place caught fire. She's important. Vought needs her with us not against us. She's indestructible in ways transluscent wish hes he was. And she's fuckin hot. But that asshole butcher got to her first. She was mine. But he weaseled his fucking way in. And took her from me. They even got married! God that fuckin makes me itch. If I can't have her than nobody can.

It's what I told her as I took her and rid of that fucking child that should've been mine. It's what I told her as I gave her that serum. I expected her to die. She did. But she came back. But she didn't die like the others. It worked. And now she's out there. Still not mine. Back with him no doubt. I'm going to fucking get her. She's made for me. Her power rivals mine because we're made for one another. She's the only one who can kill me actually. A train and I talk about his issue and I dismiss him.

Butchers pov
Here we are at the believe expo. Spying on Hughie and starlight. I ask her "you feeling okay?" Still worried about her. She nods "I'm perfectly fine Billy" bunch of Jesus freaks. MM points out the cameras.
Guy on the stage is sellin that supes are the way they are because god deemed it so. Bullocks.

But we have to have Hughie talk to Ezekiel. And Hughie is worried and I ask "what's the matter you worried your fake supe girlfriend will think you're using her?" "Okay, then what? I just go up to Ezekiel 'hey man what's up with you snuggling blue door into Chinatown basements?" I nod "yeah pretty much once you show him this" handing him my phone. She says "or I can compel my way in and for answers?" Hughie says "see options?" I shake my head "absolutely not. Especially with homelander tryin to recruit ya for the 7ths 8th"

"Homelander isn't here and I can handle myself Billy" she sighs. I look her way "I'm not takin the chance of ya gettin hurt" she scoffs "look around butcher. Every second we do this we run the chance of getting hurt. Difference between us is that I'll heal fast like a freak of fuckin nature and bounce back. Let me do this" "table the couples argument for marriage counseling. What's the plan" MM says.

She replies "we're not married. And the plan is I compel my way in, get answers, make 'em forget I was there and leave" "absolutely not" I snap. I wasn't there to protect her before and it's something that haunts me all the time. The last time I let her go solo she was taken and injected. I'm not makin that mistake ever again. Homelander was always obsessed with her. And that's how we met. I was watching homelander obsess and asked her about him and she wasn't interested and knew shit and who he was. Who he really is. She's been doin research of her own since her sister died. And we teamed up. We fell in love and homelander kept being an obsessed twat. We used it to our advantage and he never even fuckin knew.

We got married and a mission went south and homelander took her from me. I heard him do so on our comms. She was gone for a month and I found her bloody, beaten, injection marks all over. I'm not makin that same mistake ever again. She says "it's not your choice to make" "it is when the last time I let ya go solo they took ya and made ya a-" I start and she cuts me off "made me a what Billy? A monster? Trust me I fucking know what I am. I'm going"

I take her arm "that ain't what I was gonna say. Ya aren't a monster. Not to me. Not to them. You're a supe. Somethin you never wanted to be. And that haunts every single one of us. You're the heart of our group and they took ya and made ya something ya never wanted to be and it hurts. So no you're not goin. Hughie you're up" taking her with me.

She says "Hughie doesn't know what he's doing" "he's got this love. You can't get yourself hurt like last time alright? I won't allow it" I tell her. She says "I'm indestructible okay? Anything that does happen to me will heal" "why are ya so hellbent on sacrificin yourself for nothin! First the shit with translucent, then the girl, and now ya wanna step into the lions den for answers? They know ya. They all fuckin do and they want ya badly! So bad that homelander threatened your life and anyone you care for and ya think it's okay to do this mission? Why? Why are ya so hellbent on bein hurt" I snap. She snaps "have you ever thought that maybe...just fucking maybe. That even with my emotions on I don't feel like a fucking person?! I don't! I don't feel like me butcher and it's driving me fucking crazy. Pain makes me feel a little bit normal okay? But soon even that won't fucking help and I'll have nothing all over again"
