BREAKING NEWS: CEO of Vought Stan Edgar has been ousted from his own company.

The channel changed.

Vought CEO has been pulled from his position. Homelander will be taking ove-

The channel changed again.

The company of Vought is now under the control of the superheroes it once directed. What will become of the company now!

I turned off the tv and leaned down with my head between my legs. As if the situation couldn't get any worse. First Homelander makes a comeback in popularity, then he brings the Deep back onto the team, and now Homelander is running the company.

I stood up and started pacing. "Calm down. You're Metallic. We've been planning to deal with Homelander for a long time. This doesn't change anything." I finished the last sentence with a calming breath.

The stakes were now higher than ever but the end goal was the same. Stop Homelander and the rest of the corruption at Vought.

With that last thought I left my house and rapidly rose into the sky to fly to Vought.

Before I knew it I was at Vought and walking towards a meeting that had been announced by Homelander. I was halfway there when I saw the Deep just jauntily walking along with that same empty headed look on his face.

I looked at him and smiled before coming up to him and grabbing him by the shoulder. "Hi Deep. It's great to see you." I said as I led him over to an office room.

"Oh, hey Metallic, how are you doing?"

"I'm doing great Deep, I'm doing really good." I said as I opened the room and after seeing no one was in there dragged the Deep in with me. He looked to me with a confused look on his face.

As soon as I closed the door behind the two of us I turned to him and shot the metal that was attached to my arms to the Deep. It flew faster then the eye could see, wrapping around his wrists and lifting them above his head.

"Uh, Metallic, man. What's going on?"

"What's going on?" I said chuckling. Then the chuckling stopped and I wrapped some metal around my fist and grabbed his neck. I then shot some metal down to trap his legs to the wall. He was now totally restrained to the wall in front of me.

"What's going on Deep is that I don't like you. Now here's what's going to happen. I don't like rapists like you, but apparently Homelander has some plan for you so I'm not allowed to take you down. So while you're here on the 7 you're going to stay in line and don't touch any woman. If you do, I will take you DOWN! Do you understand me?"

I whispered the last few words into his ears.

"Wha, women? I.. I.. I'm not going to be touching any women. Haven't you heard man I've got a wife now and that thing with Stormfront. That was all a misunderstanding. You understand right."

I retracted the metal wrapped around all four of his limbs back into his armor and he thumped to the ground back to his feet.

"I understand all right. I understand if you step out of line, I'll kill you myself." I then turned away from him and exited the room to go to the meeting.
