Katherine's pov It feels freeing to have gotten it all out. He drives us to the hospital, him holding my hand in his softly the whole way. We head into the hospital to MM and he says "want to pay me the professional curtesy and tell me where the hell you disappeared to before?" Butcher says "we had to sort some shit out between us don't worry bout it mate" "I thought you already did when you both got together and whatnot?" MM replies. Butcher says "as it turns out homelander is more of a dick than we thought"
MM looks to me "you alright?" I nod "yeah" "what'd he do?" He asks and I shake my head "I've talked about it enough for one day" I get a call "this better be good" Frenchie says "I'm burned" "what? How?" I question "I don't know" he replies. I ask "are you okay? Do you need me to go there? What about the rest of us?" "Cherie your concern for me always baffles me. I'm alright and as for the rest of you I don't know. Maybe maybe not" he replies. He adds "they only seem to be hitting my places. I'm taking off. What about the girl?" "Do what you need Frenchie. And take her with or leave her. It's your call" I reply.
"I can't leave her. God knows what they'll do to her" the two of them are looking at me worried. "Then take her with" I say. My phone is grabbed by Butcher and he asks "the hell is going on?" And then "fucking leave her" I glare his way and he hands me the phone. I pocket it. "Burnt" he says to MM. i shake my head and we continue into the hospital. "Love you can't be pissed at me" he sighs. "She doesn't deserve to be left to vought. No one does." I reply.
He sighs "got a soft spot for er do ya?" "I was her butcher. I was the girl in the cage that just wanted to go the fuck home. I was experimented on and worse." I snap. He takes my arm "difference is that your home saved ya. I saved ya. She ain't like you. Her story is different than yours. You ain't kill anyone who didn't deserve it"
We find a room with babies. What the fuck? Compound V. I say "that's it...it's a little bit lighter, but that's some of what they gave me that didn't work" the baby shows laser eyes. It's a baby supe. "Chosen by god my ass...these cunts are made in a fuckin lab" butcher says. Butcher grabs a empty syringe and I use a needle on myself and I curse seeing nothing but blood. I keep it though. Maybe a lab can see my cells and do something with it. MM says "careful, you get any air in there you can kill the baby" butcher ignores his worry "well wouldn't that be a crying shame" I slap the back of his head "stop" as he looks at me incredulously.
He gets what we need and people with guns come in. I stand in front of butcher shoving I'm to the side to safety. As they shoot. "Love what are ya doing" I hear as I dodge bullets. "Keep 'em busy" he says and I speed over and feed on a guy dropping him as I see butcher with the baby shooting lasers. I'm shot in my side and I huff "I liked this shirt" as butcher says "holy fuck! That was diabolical" I cough feeling a burn. His head whips to mine and he pulls me to him "vervain" I cough. MM puts the baby back and I curse as he digs in my wound and takes the bullet out. He mutters "shh Darlin. I got ya" putting his wrist to my mouth and I feed from him and give him my blood. We leave the hospital.
Days later I wake beside butcher and his eyes open looking at me "you alright love?"
