Madison Maven 'Privilege' - The Boys

17: i'm not longer a kid

Madison found Hughie and Starlight at her own stand, with Madison's action figures and makeup brands there.

Madison walked up to them, feeling drained and confused, "i don't know if i can keep doing this, i just had enough...i need a break from The Seven..."

Starlight looked at Madison, feeling sympathy but understanding, and Hughie backed up and let them both have their moment, "hey, i was the same...but then Hughie found me- He talked me into staying in this team and for a reason...to take down Vought. We are doing it for the better of the world, think about it. It's hard but we will get through this, i'll be with you every- step of the way."

Madison listened and she was right maybe she needed to find her own Hughie.

Madison saw a little girl walking towards her dressed like her because Madison had her costume in stores out and her own dolls already.

"can i take a picture with you and can you sign this, ms. privilege?" A little girl who looked to be eight asked while she held her poster at Madison.

Her mom stood with a camera, Madison was kind of happy to see her representing herself but it's not a costume she's proud of and she not too happy of herself at the moment.

it was too much, the costume she was wearing.

Madison realized the type of influence she had and that now she was someone that people looked up to even worse if it was kids.

Madison smiled at her and nodded, "sure, but- mom why did you buy her the exact same costume- it's a little much. save your money next time it won't offend me, just don't buy it."

Madison posed with the kid for a picture and the mom laughed, "what my kid wants is what she will get."

Madison signed her poster and she covered her chest while talking to the kid, "well— be brave and i hope you didn't hear anything that i had said on stage about ten minutes ago.."

The little girl didn't give her a convincing look.

"i heard everything...i just want to say...i love you privilege. i will one day stand up the same way you did." The little girl told her with a strong tone and smiled at Madison.

Madison melted at the words and thought of the sentence, it meant everything to her, and then Madison smiled at her.

The little girl then walked away with her mom.

"little girls, love you. do it for them...so they don't have to live in this shitty world, full of corrupt hero's and government." Starlight convinced Madison listened.

Starlight had a point, do it for them.

For the future.

The event was coming to an end, Madison almost finished talking to both Hughie and Starlight, "well Maeve wanted to talk to me so...i'll see you both later."

Hughie and Starlight both waved at her.

Madison stood at the exit and saw Maeve walking towards her.

Madison had almost never talked to her and it felt weird but she wasn't going to say no.

Maeve looked at her and stood in front of her.

"what you said on stage, is right. Especially, Homelander...he's the worst of them all." Maeve quickly talked to her and quietly in case Homelander was hearing them.

Madison knew that they had to whisper and hope no one was hearing them well and it was hard to with the music on.

"can you explain more?" Madison asked confused and Maeve pulled her slightly more to the side.
