Way Down We Go

Vought doesn't miss mistakes.

It buries them.

Joline learned how to survive in the margins, unnoticed and unregistered.

Billy Butcher doesn't recruit heroes. He recruits liabilities.

Pulled into a war she never asked for, Joline becomes a quiet asset in a fight against a company that once decided she wasn't worth keeping. As Homelander's attention drifts toward her and Butcher's interest sharpens into something dangerous, the lines between usefulness, trust, and survival begin to blur.

Because in a world built on power, staying human is the most dangerous thing you can do.
