Deadly Silence ||Black Noir x Reader||

Chapter 30

That same day Y/N made her way to the dingy hideout of The Boys. She knew it was a risk coming here, but with everything spiraling out of control, she needed backup. The CIA's insistence on her staying longer was eating away at her, and she figured it was time to step up.

She knocked on the door, after a few seconds, it swung open to reveal Frenchie, who looked at her with surprise.

"Well, well, well, look who decided to show up," he said, his accent thick and French.

Behind him, the rest of The Boys were gathered, their eyes narrowing as they took in the sight of her. Butcher leaned against the wall, arms crossed, his expression unreadable. MM stood beside him, sizing her up, while Hughie hovered awkwardly in the back with Kimiko. Starlight, on the other hand, broke into a small smile, clearly the only one glad to see her.

"Y/N," Starlight said warmly, stepping forward. "I didn't think you'd come."

"Yeah, well," Y/N shrugged, trying to play it cool. "I figured it was time we had a chat."

Butcher let out a low chuckle. "A chat, eh? You've got some balls showing up here, love. We've heard plenty about you."

Y/N could feel the weight of their stares, "I get it, you don't trust me. But I've helped Starlight before, and I'm willing to help you guys too. We're on the same side, whether you like it or not."

Butcher's eyes narrowed. "And why should we believe that? For all we know, you're just another one of Vought's puppets."

Starlight stepped in, trying to mediate. "She's helped me before, Butcher. She's not with Vought, not really. If there's anyone who can help us, it's her."

Y/N nodded. "Look, I've got access to Vought. You need something from them, I can help. But I'm not going to lie—it's risky. Sage and Homelander are onto me. I'm already walking a tightrope as it is."

Butcher's expression didn't soften, but he seemed to consider her words. "And what exactly are you offering?"

Starlight jumped in, explaining the plan she had in mind. "We need a file from Vought's servers, something important. Y/N can get us in, help us download it onto the drive. I can't do it myself—Homelander's got me on every wanted list you can think of. But Y/N can take Hughie through, get it done quietly."

Y/N raised an eyebrow at that. "It's not going to be easy. If Homelander catches a wind of this, we're all fucked."

Butcher smirked, that devilish glint in his eyes. "Oh, don't you worry about that, sweetheart. We've got it handled. All you need to do is get Hughie in and out without raising any alarms. We'll be right outside, ready to bolt as soon as the job's done."

Y/N glanced at Hughie, who looked more nervous than ever. "You up for this, Hughie?"

He swallowed hard but nodded. "Yeah, I can do it."

She sighed, running a hand through her hair. "Alright, fine. But we need to be smart about this. If anything goes wrong, we're all dead. Got it?"

Butcher pushed off the wall, walking over to Y/N with that cocky grin of his. "Relax, love. We've pulled off worse. Just do your part, and we'll handle the rest."

Y/N couldn't shake the feeling of umm, doom, but she knew she didn't have much of a choice. "Okay. We'll go in tomorrow night. I'll figure out the best way to get you in unnoticed. Be ready."

With that, the meeting wrapped up. As she left the hideout, Y/N's mind was overthinking. She knew this was a huge risk, but if it meant getting the evidence they needed, it might be worth it. Still, the thought of crossing paths with Sage or Homelander again made her skin crawl.

Butcher's parting words echoed in her mind. "We've got it handled." She just hoped he was right, because if he wasn't, they were all FUCKED.
