"It's better to know the Devil you know
Than the Devil you don't
'Cause wherever you go,
With the Devil you know
You're never alone"
Sydney Sweeney X Male Reader X Alexa Demie
"I am done, I am done apologizing, I am done being persecuted for my strength, You should be thanking Christ that I am who I am, because you need me, you need me to save you, You Do, I am the only one who possibly can. You're not the real heroes, I am the real hero, I am the real hero..." The TV fuzzily stated.
The TV obviously showed the visage of Homelander, who had finally snapped live on air, last night, on a tirade about how done he was with everything.

"Fuck is this shit man?" Dillon groaned, pointing to the Tv, while you stood with your arms folded. "Speaking like he's fuckin...the king or something"
"Any reporters ask you about this...you don't speak on it" You told not only him, but everyone else in the room.
The whole team had assembled at Dillon's house, after his father left the country with the rest of the remaining Sun Syndicate.
"Someone's had a little media training" Holly chuckled from the corner, clearly a little sarcastic. You looked to her clearly unamused.
"I'm serious...as much as I'd just love to leave this up to The Seven, chances are we'll be asked about it" You noted.
As you turned your view back to the TV, Ava made eye contact with Charlie, as the two exchanged a glance, excusing themselves from the situation to head outside.
"Where are we with the uh...missing...asset" Ava asked, no doubt in reference to the potentially evil robot they had unleashed.
"It disabled all its tracking devices, I've sent some of my drones out but...nothing so far" Charlie mumbled.
"We need to stop it, you programmed it, can't you know where its gonna be next?" Ava asked.
"I programmed it to think for itself so no...I don't know its goals, I've got no coordinates, no plans...nothing" Charlie admitted, growing quieter at the end.
It was clear by looking at the girl that the robot situation was weighing heavily on her, but she was trying to take her mind off it.
"I got my father in on it too...he's not thrilled I lost my first attempt at making intelligent life but...he's helping, says I should focus on saving lives" Charlie added.
It was a little more comforting knowing one of the Sun Syndicate was watching over them, even if Charles wasn't directly in the country.
Just as the two were wrapping up their conversation, you came walking past somewhat urgently, as Ava got your attention.
