Colton Orion had known death his entire life, he also knew the burn of compound v corrupting his bloodstream. Of course when he was born, his parents actually loved him. Unlike most people they didn't struck his veins with the chemical. The thought wasn't even a concept for them. Of course given his life was on the verge of ending, and he was literally about to crash to his death on a plane of all things!
He let the chemical burn his veins as he sat helplessly inside an airplane bathroom with his wife and son clinging to him like helpless lifelines. Dying didn't scare him, shit his wife was a supe so he didn't fear anything these days. It burned he didn't know if it was the flames of the plane that surrounded them or the compound v slowly changing him.
With one final breath he had felt the plane crash, felt the waves of the ocean surround him as everything around him turned into darkness. No survivors that's what the news had said when homelander failed to save everyone on that plane. Oh how wrong they were, deep within the depths of the ocean Colton opened his eyes, a new beginning surrounding him.
A new purpose, revenge. He didn't care how long it took, how many years he had waited, homelander was gonna be one sorry son of a bitch. With a dead wife and son, Colton hides and prepares himself. Of course with the seven slowly falling apart and new members being offered an opportunity to join by homelander himself. Colton makes himself known, just so he can get inside vought and kill homelander.
Of course along the way things take another dark turn when he finds out a group of people are trying to kill Victoria Neuman. His sorta girlfriend? Or maybe friends? He wasn't even sure at this rate. He didn't know if he should protect Victoria from homelander or these crazed people calling themselves the boys. At the end of the day, everything was falling apart.

— authors notes: okay, after watching the boys season four i decided why not just make another fic. Yes this one is connected to my other fics for the boys universe. Knowing me, I won't write for it fully until after i complete the first two books of this overall series. For the boys seasons 1-3 check out the first book and then the second book is gen v season 1. Yes! you have to read those to understand any references to those characters. Also just makes sense given this is season 4 of the boys. I was gonna just add this character to the first book given it's the boys but then I was like no. Makes more sense to have it be its own book since the love interest is Victoria. I just love this show and getting back into it with the new season dropping is a vibe. I've been so busy with life and completely ignoring this app I forgot to get this together, but regardless I'm back! Gonna write for the other books, and then come back to this one when those are done. So bye!!!! Enjoy!!! Also sorry if the summary sucks!
