The Peacemaker

Chapter 5

So I don't get sued. I do not own the Boys or Gen V, I am currently playing in the sand box while getting hit on the head with a spade as my sister is now pissed as I was hitting her with said spade.

Hughie PoV:

What!

The!

Fuck!

He said he was a Fed but he's not a Fed and Translucent's in the truck and I'm in said truck and I'm going to die!

I'm going to get lazered in half.

She was right, I should have stayed the fuck away from this.

Now, I'm in a car with the a maniac and a dead Translucent in the trunk!

I'm fucking screwed!

Bang! Bang! Bang! 

"What is that?" I scream, cause something or some... someone is pounding in the trunk.

Butcher turns as if looking back unable to believe what he's hearing. "That's a problem."

Translucent. 

He's alive!

"Oh, thank fuck, he's alive." relief flushes through me, I'm not a murder "Yes, yes, he's alive! Okay pull over!"

We have to pull over if we let him go maybe he won't kill us for well... hitting him with a car, hitting him with a crowbar, betting him to a pulp, electricuting him, dumping him in the trunk and driving off with him in said trunk. If we let him go all will be forgiven... right?

Butcher's staring at me as if he just heard what I was just thinking. "No, no, no, Hughie, you don't get it!"

Of course I get it, if we let him go we don't get killed by the Seven. 

If we let him go we will survive.

"PULL THE CAR OVER!" I shout. 

We just have to pull over.

We just need to let him go and it's all over.

"You fucking idiot! He's seen our faces!" so supes are good at least I think they are...

"He knows who we are and trust me they will hunt us down like pigs to the slaughter!" They can't... They shouldn't...

"If you think that they are going to take us broken and bleeding to display us to HER! You have another thing coming!" I swear for a second I see fear creeping into Butcher's eyes and my blood runs cold.

"What do you mean Her? What are you talking about?" The car starts to speed up as Butcher puts his foot down on the pedal, his knuckles starting to turn white on the steering wheel.

"THE PEACEMAKER!" He shouts,  "When you've worked in this industry as long as I have you hear stuff and one thing I hear about is the Peacemaker." 

"What are you talking about there's no supe named that?" 

"That's the FUCKING point," Butcher's eyes are stuck to the road as the car continues to speed up "She's a shadow, made as a counter weight to all the other supes. A protective measure. One who's job is to keep the rest of them in line even Homelander." 

"That's insane!" My stomach is tying itself into knots "Someone more powerful than Homelander, that's impossible!"

"Not impossible, Hughie. She's just a rumour but she exists! A monster who's the master of all supes, their own personal goddess." My nails are digging into the palms of my hand and I feel the sting as they start to cut in. "She's the demon on their shoulder, the one who allowed A-Train to kill Robin, the one who allowed Homelander to..."
