As Hughie and I stand there covered in the blood of a supe, "bloody hell."
"Dad I'm fine, hughie i don't know I think he's in a state of stock."
"You go get cleaned up and take man child with you. I'll deal with this."
"Dad you need call him."
"No."
"Yes or I'll call him myself," I say and turn to Hughie, "come on let's get you cleaned up."
He nods and we leave my dad. We walk into the bathroom, "I should let you get cleaned up alone," he says to me. "Hughie are you ok?"
"Yeah."
"Hughie you don't have to be your girlfriend died like 3 days ago and you just killed a man well not a man more a cunt," I say getting a rag went then I slowly start cleaning the blood off his face, "you can talk to me you know."
"Thank you Athena."
"Your welcome," i say and look at my phone getting a text from Ashley, "shit I have to go. Hughie."
"Yeah I'll um see you later," he leaves as I get the shower to clean the blood off.

I walk up to the seven building and in, "your late."
"No shit Ashley you know I've had a morning."
"Yeah I can tell. You look like you've killed a guy," Ashley says to me and I laugh. We get to the legal level, "this is your desk. And this is your first case," she hands me a file and I sit down. I open the file and the first thing I read that I got on Queen Maeve's legal team, "well hello hot stuff," I turn around and smile. "Not so bad yourself."
"We'll aren't you a kiss ass."
"Hey at least im not a push over."
"I have a feeling I'm going to like you."
"We'll I have som work to do."
"Right yes I'll go. We should go get drink Isla." I smile and nod then get up and leave for the bathroom. After a few hours Maeve's legal team all meets in the board room, I sit down in a chair and I place the bug under the table. I text my dad telling him the bug is in place. "We'll this has been fucking lovely but I have to go." I leave.

I walk into the place, "kiddo what happened?"
"Well Homelander lasered a plane down," I say, "and supes use this thing call compound v to enhance their abilities so they can run through people like Robin."
"Their dosing themselves."
"Yeah." Hughie walks over and I open my laptop to the bugs channel. "How did you get the bug there?"
"I planted it during a legal team meeting for Maeve."
"She's a good kid."
"Dad I'm only your kid."
"Even better," he kisses my forehead and leaves. "Please tell me called Mothers Milk."
"Whose mothers milk?"
"One of my uncles. Like Frenchie be prepared dad and him don't get along."
"Does your dad get along with anyone?" He ask and I shake my head no. "Athena Josie Becca Butcher!" Frenchie yells. "What do you want uncle Frenchie?"
"It's M.M you need to go talk to him."
"Ugh fine Frenchie don't burn the place down."
"Do I ever?"
"Yes all the time," I grab my jacket and leave.

"I fucking can't anymore!" I say walking into the Vought building on the phone. I hang and walk inside up to the board room, "prefect timing."
"Isla?"
"Annie your legal?"
"Your a supe."
"Isla sit," i sit down next to risk assessment. Then they play the video of Annie beating up two guys in an alley. "Fucking hell Annie!"
"Oh god this a legal mess."
"Deal with her risk I have to go. Annie we will talk later." I leave the building and sit outside, "hey kiddo," I look up and smile at my dad. "So Athena find anything else?"
"You know that girl Hughie has been talking to Annie. She's a supe. I can't do this dad all I do is clean up after supes I saw Homelander yesterday and I wanted to strangle him."
"You really my daughter now let's go."
"Yeah I could a Break," we leave but little did we  know at the time Maeve was watching us.

We walk into the restaurant, "how is his blood still everywhere?"
"Yeah sorry how was work?"
"Awful I fucking can't anymore, did Homelander show up again?"
"Yeah we blew up my old building."
"Did you guys seriously pull another Pittsburgh," I say and Frenchie, dad both nod slowly. "I hate you guys," I say then sit outside with a bottle of vodka. "You wanna talk?"
"You want a drink?" I look up at Hughie and sits down. I hand him the bottle, "you wanna tell me what's wrong?"
"I just wanna die my dad is an asshole, and my uncles kinda sort of hate me. My aunt is keeping a secret for me and I always feel how I'm not good enough for my dad."
"We'll I think your pretty good and I don't know anyone could hate you. Your sweet."
"I'm an asshole."
"Yeah but a sweet asshole."
"Your a Dork," I say smiling. "You know your kinda adorable," he says to me and I blush. "So how are you doing?" I ask him.
"I miss her."
"You wanna talk about her. Maybe that'll help."
"Yeah," he takes a swing, "she was great she pushed me to do things. She gave the confidence to stick up for myself but she always stuck by my side no matter what. She made these jokes that always made me laugh," I yawn and put my head on his shoulder. "She sounds lovely."
"She was. What was your mom like?"
"Stubborn but kind. She had empathy and stopped my dad from being an idiot. She loved dad and I no matter what. She was the first person to help me."
"I hope you can figure out what happened to her."
"Me too Hughie and we'll get A-train."
"I know." We lay and look up at the stars, "you know this is great this is probably the most fun I've had in a few days."
"Yeah me too Hughie," I smile as we look up.
