(A-Train's POV)

I am at the movie set because they needed me here. Something about my part in the movie is "accepting" getting kicked out of The Seven, even though, I did tell them that I quit. True to my words, Alex is a better trainer than the rest of them. I think it's because she helped train another Speedster before me. I sit there and watch as they shoot a scene in the movie. It was Maeva's scene and let me tell you...it's so disrespectful to anyone in the LGBTQ community.

Maeva: "Ruby! Ruby!"

The girl playing Ruby ran over to Maeva.

Ruby: "Here! I'm here!"

Maeva ran over to her and hugged her.

Ruby: " Looks like you saved me, Red."

Maeva: "No, you saved us. If you hadn't broken into that DHS mainframe."

Ruby: "True. I am a hell of a hacker...but I'm no hero. "

Maeva: "You are a hero in lots of ways."

Ruby: "What do you mean?"

Maeva: "You're not afraid to live your life. To be who you are. Me, I'm...I'm afraid to...to show the world who I am."

Ruby: "Yeah? So who are you, Maeva?"

Maeva: "I'm a lot like you. I'm gay."

I rolled my eyes because that was the most cringy shit ever.

Ashely: "And...cut!"

Maeva sighed and looked almost done with this job as I was. Hey...maybe Alex can train her as well?

Ashely: "Brilliant."

Homelnder: "Yes, that was brilliant. Gnag, let's check that. And, ladies and gents, it is a wrap for today! Good job, people. That was so great."

Maeva walked over to him and I spied on them to see what they were talking about.

Maeva: "When are you going to stop torturing me?"

Homelander looked at her offended, but I knew what he was doing. He's forcing her to do all of these movies and ads for some reason.

Homelander: "Don't know what you're talking about."

Maeva: "If I promise to never see her again, will you stop?"

Homelander: "But, Maeva, you're in love. It's beautiful. Elena's good for you, and I'm not gonna let you throw that away. Not now, not ever. I mean, that would be cruel."

She looked at him annoyed, but I decided to stop listening to them. Homelander and Ashley walked off to talk about something.

(Homelander's POV)

Ahsley said she needed to talk to me, and so I left with her. She then showed me her phone. It was a video of me killing a terrorist in another country. I think I did well, but, when I lasered the man, someone was standing right behind him, and he got killed. That's not my fault. He shouldn't have been behind the guy.

Homelander: "Oh."

Ashely: "Oh."

Homelander: "So, what, they're all starving but one of them's got a fucking cell phone?"

Ashley: "Uh, you know, I wish you had cleared this with me before you went over there."

I looked at her annoyed. I don't have to clear shit with her.

Homelander: "Oh, Jesus Christ. I don't have to clear shit with you, Ashely. I saw a chance for an easy win and I took it."

I sighed, knowing this video would ruin my character.
