Homelander: New Legacy

[9] : Compound V: A Global Gamble

Don't Forget to Review!!

Roger had forgotten one important thing all this time.

Besides the assassinations, Homelander had done something else.

He had taken the company's Compound V and had A-Train deliver it around the world, injecting it into adults to awaken their superpowers.

Homelander's reason for doing this wasn't to throw the world into chaos. He was still doing it for Madelyn.

He knew Madelyn wanted superheroes to enter national defense, but the Department of Defense didn't want superhumans in their ranks.

Normally, this issue would take a long time to resolve, if it ever did. But what if superhumans appeared in other parts of the world?

If there were superheroes, it wouldn't be surprising if supervillains appeared too, right?

If supervillains that the Department of Defense couldn't handle appeared in other parts of the world, then to deal with these supervillains, the Department would have no choice but to agree to let superheroes into national defense.

So Homelander had A-Train deliver Compound V everywhere to create supervillains.

However, this plan was still in the experimental stage. Currently, the only relatively successful test subject was a woman named Kimiko. She had been captured by mercenaries sent by Homelander and was now in a basement somewhere in the US, watched over by a gang.

Of course, besides Kimiko, Vought had also built a facility similar to a mental hospital to conduct these human experiments to turn people into superhumans.

Lamplighter, a former member of The Seven, was responsible for guarding this laboratory.

However, since this wasn't related to Roger, he didn't plan to deal with it now. Currently, Kimiko's situation was more pressing.

Due to an overdose of Compound V, Kimiko had memory problems, causing her to forget her identity. But if she remembered, all the clues would lead back to Vought and Homelander.

Roger didn't want to take the blame for what Homelander had done. Although he was Homelander now, if he played it carefully, he could distance himself from this.

After all, he and Homelander were essentially two different people now. Whether explaining it as a doppelganger or someone else becoming Homelander, Roger had many ways to clear his name.

"This f***ed up life."

Even though it was Homelander who had done these things, Roger had to clean up the mess. He was filled with anger.

He rarely wore casual clothes, but now he put on casual wear and a pair of glasses, even letting his hair down without gel.

Just like how Superman wasn't recognized when he wore glasses, Roger thought that with glasses on, unless someone observed his face closely, no one would recognize him...

"Homelander?"

"...?"

Just as Roger was thinking this, he was immediately proven wrong. As he was about to take the elevator down, he ran into Starlight, who was also heading down. She looked at Roger, studied him for a moment, and then called out in surprise.

Roger's mouth twitched involuntarily. He stared at Starlight and asked:

"You... recognized me?"

"Uh, I didn't at first, but... this is the floor with The Seven's dormitories..."
