"Stormfront..."

Starlight watched Stormfront warily, while Kimiko beside her made no effort to conceal her hostility toward the woman.

Since Stormfront had replaced Homelander as the leader of The Seven, she'd consistently led the team in subtly and overtly undermining the Super League.

This rivalry wasn't out of place, after all, The Seven and the Super League were competitors, and so were the entertainment companies backing them. It was only natural that Stormfront would target them, nothing unusual about that.

The real issue lay with Stormfront herself. This seemingly perfect and kind woman was anything but, as her actions off-camera were shockingly cruel.

Starlight had once 'luckily' crossed paths with her during a mission to take down the same supervillain and had witnessed Stormfront brutally torturing and killing an innocent Black woman when the cameras weren't rolling.

At that moment, Starlight had even fought her. If not for the timely arrival of the camera drones from both companies, one of them might not have walked away from that confrontation.

Since that incident, whenever the Super League encountered Stormfront, they often came out worse for wear.

Now, with Homelander missing, the Super League was left with just a handful of members, while The Seven remained at full strength. They were no match.

Kimiko, for instance, had once had her right leg broken by Stormfront in one of these 'competitions.' Fortunately, Kimiko had the power of rapid healing; otherwise, she wouldn't be here today.

It was this complicated history that fueled Starlight and Kimiko's resentment toward Stormfront.

"Wow, those looks you're giving me aren't very friendly. Hey, girls, tone it down a bit, okay? We're superheroes, remember?" Stormfront said, smiling at the two.

Anyone unfamiliar with her true nature might think she was genuinely a kind-hearted superhero, but Starlight and Kimiko knew better. Stormfront only acted like this in front of the cameras.

Glancing at the hovering camera drones on both sides, Starlight sighed inwardly before forcing a smile and replying, "You're right. We *are* superheroes."

Kimiko continued to glare coldly at Stormfront. If this were the original version of her, she would have already leaped at Stormfront to protect her brother from potential harm.

But thankfully, after months of training with Tek Knight, Kimiko was no longer as impulsive.

Now, she thought more clearly. She understood that if she fought Stormfront over her brother with the cameras rolling, not only would she fail to save him, but she would also drag the entire Super League down with her.

Stormfront, still smiling, looked friendly toward Starlight, but her eyes darkened slightly when they fell on Kimiko.

However, she hid it well. She never let her true nature slip in front of the cameras. So, after Starlight finished speaking, Stormfront turned her gaze toward the nearby abandoned warehouse and said, "Alright, with the three of us here, that supervillain inside doesn't stand a chance."

"Yes," Starlight agreed, but then changed the subject, adding, "And since it's only one person, I don't think The Seven need to get involved. Don't you think so, Stormfront?"
