The fuck?

Homelander walked over to the door and yelled down the hall.

"Ashley! Get in here. Now!"

Ashley scrambled in and lookef about two seconds from a nervous breakdown.

"Yes, Homelander?"

"Get me Butcher's number. Now."

Ashley's eyes widened but she fumbled around for her phone and tapped away before handing it over.

"Here you go."

Homelander punched in the number and waited as it rang.

Finally, Butcher picked up.

"Oi, who's this bloody tosser calling me up at this hour?"

"It's me, Homelander. Where's Y/n?"

Butcher snorted.

"The hell you on about, you caped lunatic? Why would I know where she is?"

"Don't play dumb with me, Butcher. She escaped and if she had any brains at all, she'd run to the only people left with a grudge against me...meaning you."

Butcher let out a laugh.

"So, she's out, is she? Can't even keep your bloody pets in line, eh?" He sounded almost pleased.

"Sorry to disappoint, mate but she's not here. Not that she'd come to us anyway."

Homelander's patience was thinning.

"Why should I believe you?"

"Oh, come off it, Homelander. We're the ones who betrayed her, remember? She'd rather crawl through broken glass than come knockin' on our door. You really think she'd trust any of us after the mess you've made?"

Homelander went silent for a beat.

"Fine. But if I find out you're lying, you'll regret it."

"Ooh, real scary, you are. Now bugger off, I've got more important things to do than babysit your mistakes."

The boys headquarters -

Butcher hung up the phone with a smirk and turned back to find Hughie, Frenchie, MM, Kimiko and Annie all staring at him, clearly eavesdropping.

Hughie blinked, wide eyed.

"Uh, Butcher... what was that about? Who escaped?"

"Who do ya think, ya daft lot? Y/n! She got outta Vought."

Annie gasped and her hand covered her mouth.

"Y/n escaped? How? When?" She asked.

"Ah, the girl... she is like a ghost, no? Slips right through zeir fingers! Formidable!" Frenchie nervously grinned.

MM shook his head and was already pacing.

"This is bad, man. Vought's gonna be on a warpath. Homelander ain't gonna let this slide."

"What if she... what if she comes after us now? She probably still thinks we're on Homelander's side." Hughie spoke everyone's mind.

"We have to find her, Butcher. She'll be out there, alone and in danger." annie pleaded.

"Don't reckon she's gonna play nice after all the stunts we pulled but fine. We'll keep an eye out." Butcher snorted.

But he knew that this idea of them still having hope for Y/n returning on their sides was dumb as hell.

"Ah, I do love a bit of chaos. Let's find ze girl before Homelander does, eh?" Frenchie smiled to himself.

"Yeah. Let's bring her back... if she'll even come." Hughie nodded and even he was in doubt but Butcher knew that Hughie would always support his girlfriend and right now his girlfriend wanted something they could never have.
