The next day at the office, Y/N walked in. She was on edge, her nerves frayed, and she was doing her best to act normal. As she made her way down the hallway, she suddenly spotted Sister Sage leaning against the wall, her sharp eyes fixed on her.

"Y/N," Sage called out, a knowing smirk tugging at the corner of her lips.

Y/N stopped, forcing herself to stay calm. "Yeah?"

Sage pushed off the wall and walked closer, her gaze never leaving Y/N's. "I know you're working with Starlight."

Y/N's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly masked her reaction, trying to play it cool. "What?"

Sage's smile widened, her eyes narrowing as she leaned in a little closer. "Cut the bullshit. I know you're the mole."

Y/N's mind went into overdrive. Sage didn't know the full extent of her mission—at least she didn't know she was undercover for the CIA. That was a small relief, but it didn't make the situation any less dangerous.

"Your secret's safe with me," Sage continued, her tone almost mocking. "For now."

Y/N tried to maintain her composure, but inside, she was freaking out. "Why would you keep it to yourself?"

Sage shrugged, her eyes gleaming with something Y/N couldn't quite place. "Because I'm curious to see how far you can take this. And besides, I don't give a shit about Homelander's reign of terror. I already know how everything will play out... Goodluck."

She continued. "Also, I can smell Noir all over you."

Y/N felt a wave of relief mixed with anxiety. Sage might be playing nice now, but that could change in a heartbeat. 

"Right..." Y/N said, trying to sound casual, even though her insides were twisting in knots.

With that, Sage walked away, leaving Y/N standing there, her mind racing. She had to be more careful, more strategic. 

A/N~ Hi guys! Sorry for being kind of inactive, writers block but mostly in a way that I don't really know what to write. I have an ending ready, but I don't want to finish this book fast, because I love interacting with you guys so much and giving ya'll a thrill! I do have a couple of endings in mind. One being the most realistic and SAD but, I don't want to upset my readers, (styaing delulu). School is also starting next week, SHOOT ME PLEASE. Anyway thank you so much for the love and support, I will be updating :D
