Her jaw drops open and eyes pop.

“You encouraged /my/ boy to leap off the roof you freaking idiot??!!

You really have NO idea do you? And yes, you are a child...in the head!”

[THE HOMELANDER. @GRAILOFGOD]

“𝘗𝘧𝘧𝘵, way to go with the name-calling, and 𝗜 am the ‘child’ here?

Call it a ‘leap of faith’. That’s what I’m teaching our boy.”

[𝓑𝐞𝐜𝐜𝐚. @HERONLYCHOICE]

“And I thought Homelanders breast milk fetish was baaaad...”

[𝓑𝐞𝐜𝐜𝐚. @HERONLYCHOICE]

Sighs sadly, her shoulders stooping and her gaze weary.

“I fucked up, Billy. I fucked up badly and I’m so sorry. But I’m a package now, myself and Ryan. You take us both back and help us /both/ or walk away and forget about me. I /can’t/ live like this any longer.”

[BUTCHER. @GRAILOFANTIGOD]

“It 𝘪𝘴 that simple, Becca.”

The bloody kid is Vought’s prized possession. What else they could do? Dangle their life for 𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙞-𝙃𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧?

“You can’t be living like this.”

@SONOFHOMELANDER “You did? Let’s have a look then.”

Pulls back from hugging him to death and smiles lovingly at her boy.

[𝓑𝐞𝐜𝐜𝐚. @HERONLYCHOICE]

“If only it was that simple, huh?”

She hasn’t forgotten he wanted her to, in his words, “get rid of the kid”.

“I do miss you though, Billy you ol’ bugger.”

[BUTCHER. @GRAILOFANTIGOD]

“It is, ain’t it? There’s no way for any of us to turn back time, but I say we’ve got a couple of shots to bring ‘em bastards down.

Tag-team; A couple of ol’ love birds burning some jacked-up cunts? How ‘bout that?”

[𝓑𝐞𝐜𝐜𝐚. @HERONLYCHOICE]

“That sweethearts ol’ bugger was the best guy to be married to, especially his filthy mouth...

Even sweethearts make mistakes where wankers in spandex are concerned. Regret is a bitch.”

[BUTCHER. @GRAILOFANTIGOD]

“Last time I’ve checked, that sweetheart’s still married to her ol’ bugger.

‘Til some wanker in spandex showed up.”

[𝓑𝐞𝐜𝐜𝐚. @HERONLYCHOICE]

“You sound like such a child.

Also, why is my son lying face first on the floor you asshole?!?!”

[THE HOMELANDER. @GRAILOFGOD]

“Well, don’t look at me. Ask Ryan.”

[𝓑𝐞𝐜𝐜𝐚. @HERONLYCHOICE]

“The fact you’re asking this question says it all.”

[𝓑𝐞𝐜𝐜𝐚. @HERONLYCHOICE]

@SONOFHOMELANDER Hugs her boy tightly. “Hey, champ.”

[𝓑𝐞𝐜𝐜𝐚. @HERONLYCHOICE]

“I’m not sure to be honest. I think I was once married to this guy who loved to use that word.

He had the filthiest mouth...”

[BUTCHER. @GRAILOFANTIGOD]

“Fantastic choice of words, love.

And who taught you that 𝘦𝘩?”

[𝓑𝐞𝐜𝐜𝐚. @HERONLYCHOICE]

“What did you DO, John...?”

[THE HOMELANDER. @GRAILOFGOD]

“Shit fest.”

“Don’t be a c***, Billy.”

“Sometimes the only way to solve some 𝑓𝑢𝑐𝑘𝑖𝑛’ bullshit is to go ‘round looking for one.

“I promise to call on one condition, John,” her sincere gaze met his, her tone soft but firm. “You promise my son and I are safe. Not only from Vought but from you. I mean it, I want your word here. You know how hard life is without a mother more than anyone,>

“I am /not/ handing my son over to the psychopathic company who raised his father, Billy. He needs me-his mother- and you have to accept that or leave right now and forget about me.”

“Why do secrets /never/ stay secret?

Why can’t a dead woman simply stay dead?”

Life just became real complicated...

@GRAILOFANTIGOD A look of incredulity masked her features, his words so easy to say yet the hardest thing in the word to act upon.
