The Peacemaker

Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I do not own the Boys or Gen V. I'm just playing in the creators sand box.

Additionally please don't be a ghost reader.

Your POV:

They always want me here when one of them causes a cluster fuck!

Doesn't matter what it is.

The Deep caught fucking a dolphin by a four year old, bin there done that.

Translucent burns down a house with children inside, done that one too. Although, I personally thought he should have bin actually punished for that shit show instead of just demoted with a hefty severance package.

A - Train gets so cocked up on Compound V that he manages to run through a girl! 

Firstly, how the fuck did he get a hold of the V it's supposed to be highly regulated for fuck's sake.

And Secondly ... Seriously he murdered someone and then fucking bragged about it to Big Game? 

I'm sorry? You killed someone!

Okay, that's hypocritical everyone here has but still, she was innocent. At least I think she was.

It really makes me hate this job, but I was made to do it literally! 

From the moment I was born that's what Dad said. Your purpose is to keep them calm, keep them from exploding and causing catastrophes, well bigger than they already are.

That's why I'm here I deal with their fuck up and keep them in line because big ego's lead to even bigger problems. 

That's why they call me Peacemaker. 

I make the peace for them and keep it when they want to break it.

A supe whose power is to stop Titans from throwing Toddler Tantrums.

I hear footsteps walk towards me.

A scent of anxiety fills the air.

"Sir, could you empty your pockets, please?" That's Steve, he's been here for six years now as for as corrupt and messy it is, I know that he's paycheck provides for his family. He's got a little girl I think she's three now. I should get her something for her birthday. What do little kids like? Damascus steel blades? Grenades? I'll just ask him later today... maybe tomorrow.

I hear the rattle of keys and a... phone? I'm pretty sure that the sound of a phone being placed in those plastic trays.

"Thank you" Steve says I can feel his sympathy radiating off him. Everyone knows why he's here that's why Homelander's not here telling me about how we should reign over the little 'mud people' as gods. He's just as human as the rest of us and just as flawed. Although don't tell him that  or you'll get lasered in half by his highness.

The doors open and I see a child? 

I'm not good with telling people ages after all I'm constantly surrounded by people who age funny so that has really fucked with my age perspective

"Um excuse me, c-can I I, uh... can I use your bathroom?" Aww the poor thing is nervous and not in the I'm about to meet THE Homelander kind of nervous which we see every day here; But the this situation is about to give me a fucking panic attack kind of nervous.

The doors slam open again as one of the many nameless, faceless lawyers runs in double time. They're a dime a dozen here running around like ants. Bottom feeders that's what they are even more than some of the Deep's fishy friends.  

"Just to be clear. A-Train's apology isn't an admission of any sort of culpability whatsoever. Do you understand?" It never is, it's just empty words. Lip service to the family of the deceased, the injured, the dying, those harmed by their carelessness. At times like this I hate this job.

The kid's frozen as if trapped in his own head unable to process what is going on around him. 

Poor thing. 

I don't know why he chose to do this. 

He's torturing himself just by being here.

"Hey man, I'm sorry about what happened to your girlfriend, all right?" In all my years of dealing with this bullshit, that has to be the worst apology I have seen and that's including the Deep traumatising a little girl one. This kid's girlfriend died and that's all he gets? 

Not if I have anything to do about it.

"A-Train, stop being an asshole and give the kid a proper apology. You ran through his girlfriend for fuck's sake! How would you like it if someone ran through Cha..."

"Okay! Okay! Sheesh Y/N!" See A-Train I always get my way... somehow, maybe it just how dad made me.

"Hughie. I'm incredibly sorry that your girlfriend died before her time. It was fair and it was before her time. I hope you will eventually forgive me but I understand if you never will." Much better. 

"Was that good enough, Y/N?" Oh for fuck's sake every time. Why do I even try with these morons.

A-Train's smile is so dam smug as if I would praise him for being a fucking dumbass. I'm going to beat his as later, as I'm so done with this. He struts out as if the world owes him something but it doesn't.

The kid's still frozen in place like a statue. "Kid... Hughie right?" he nods slightly "Top tip, don't let your anger consume you. It's not worth it in the long run." Ha run. "I've seen people be destroyed when similar things happen to them." 

Mallory, I only met you once but I'm sorry that I wasn't there to control him that day. That I was elsewhere.

"Just remember to live for her. That's all you can do!" 

I've given him my warning, I've seen men go mad over less.

I turn and walk away. 

Ready to put out another fire.

Protect their legacies.

Just as I was made to.

Just as father said I should.

The Peacemaker.

Peace for everyone except my own because I was made to serve.

We are not gods. 

Although I'm in the service of those who think we are. 

Icarus is flying in this house with his golden hair. How close can he go to the sun before the sun melts his wings and he falls.

Down...

Down...

Down...

Back to the mud people bellow.

Hi Everyone,

Firstly, who is your father as per usual best answer gets a cookie.

Secondly, shorter chapter today as again my life is one bubbling bowl of chaos.

I hope you all enjoyed.
