@thcrealheroes ; annie : i’m a little nervous, but it’s a good nervous. the budding romance prompts ; accepting.
𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠, not allowing herself to be happy and telling herself that she was protecting annie by keeping her distance, despite the fact that it was obvious that the two of them had something a little more just friendship growing between them. maeve hadn't allowed herself to think what might happen if she let herself actually be happy, to stop denying how she 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐭 towards annie and let herself just be happy, be in love and stop worrying so much about what might happen. for now, homelander at least had a partial leash on him, the threat of the flight 37 video would keep him in control for a small amount of time. in which she would be able to enjoy herself a little, allow herself to be a little distracted and give into that craving that she had desired for so long. it may be 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐝 but she could allow herself to enjoy such a victory for now.
𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫, away from all the watchful eyes and rumours that filled the tower, it would be a place for them and they didn't have to worry about anyone interrupting them. it could be just the two of them and she wanted to make it special for annie, she made sure to order her favourite food because she wouldn't expose annie to her attempt at cooking. she even cleaned up the place, getting rid of the empty alcohol bottles and airing out the shame of the last time annie was in her apartment. tonight, she wasn't queen maeve, she was just 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐞, wanting to make it special for the woman she knew she was in love with. it had been the sort of night that she never expected to ever have, she didn't feel like she ever deserved this and she didn't let herself have these moments. annie was always beautiful to her, but right now, in the low lighting, with some gentle music playing, she was practically glowing. the two of them were sat on the couch together when annie admitted to being 𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬 and it reminded her that annie had never been with a woman before, she had admitted that when they had first kissed. a smile pulls at her lips, a hand moving to push blonde strands of hair behind annie's ear, " we can go as far as you want, okay? you are in complete control, i don't want to do anything to make you comfortable, " maggie admits gently, not wanting to scare her off, she wanted this to be good for her and she knew that she had to take this at annie's pace, " but whatever you want to do - we can do that. i just want to be with you and forget about everything else, "

𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐟, only john would be crazy enough to screw around with the absolute nutcase that is stormfront. shaking her head, running a hand through her red hair as she looks away from him, " don't compare me to that bitch. we are nothing alike, she's the worst kind of person and now i gotta save your ass from her, " she should've asked him about this before agreeing to let him stay. maeve was doing her best to keep out of trouble and he was bringing that to her door, expecting her to cover and protect him from her. but she wasn't going to send him back out there, she would never 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 herself if something happened to him and she could've prevented it. as much as she wasn't looking for trouble, she would do anything for those she cared about and as much she tried not to care about john, she just couldn't help it.
" 𝐢 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐣𝐨𝐡𝐧, " maeve admitted, looking back at him and she stepped towards him, " you're not going anywhere. you're gonna stick around and we've got you. stop acting like a wounded dog and be the man i know you are, " motioning for him to follow her again, she knew that it wouldn't take long for him to get comfortable around here. her girls were similar to him in a way that they had all run from dangerous situations and she had kept them safe, she could do the same with him and she just hoped that he didn't make her regret helping him. she could handle most trouble that came her way, but she had heard rumours about how 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬 stormfront was and she knew this might be the biggest risk she had taken in a long time. he just better be prepared to fight and protect her girls if he is bringing this chaos her way.
𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐦, arms crossing across her chest as she looks at him. it seemed that no matter what happened, her and john always ended up back in it together, " get some food in here, it's pretty good and i don't think you're gonna complain too much if you're that hungry, " she's half teasing, she knew he couldn't afford to be picky about anything considering his situation, " when you're done, come and find me again. my place is over there, " she points in the direction of where she stays before moving, giving him a pat on the arm as she looks up at him, " get comfortable, be nice and i'll to find you some place to crash. but if i find out you're messing around with any of my girls - stormfront won't be the one you gotta worry about, okay? " maeve wasn't teasing this time, she couldn't have him thinking she had gotten soft in the years they hadn't seen each other, she had other people who relied on her as well as him, she couldn't have him making it worse for her girls.
He hops off of the car, patting the side of it like it’s a big animal and not a random truck with variety of guns loaded onto it. “hm? Who?” was Maggie talking about some of her girls again? John was thinking about how to convince her to stay around more, didn’t catch her question.
Ooh, right! She wants to know about his boss.. used-to-be boss now. The blond shrugs, acting totally innocent “I did nothing! I’m a saint, Mag! And I’m not- okay maybe I’m not running but hiding? That makes sense to you at all?” he motions with his hands as he reasons “I think you know her, Stormfront? That’s her name.. well she’s good in bed but has a very short temper! Just like you.. and I may or may not disobeyed her once and that’s why she’s after me! Not that she’s searching for me but she might show up at your door and asks about me, yeah..”
When his speech is over, he shoves both hands in his jacket’s pocket, kicking a wrench away that was abandoned on the floor “you don’t believe me, do you?” his voice defeated “you are the only person I can trust to help me, if you leave me out there I’ll be dead..”
His lips stretching in a thin line, the man moves his gaze from his shoes up to Maggie’s face, making his best puppy eyes that he hopes she falls for.. “I’ll be out of your hair as soon as I can, I promise!”
A loud grumble of his belly interrupts and John looks away, blushing, subtly curls in on himself ��..sorry, been a while since last time I ate something. Erm.. if formal introduction is over, can I have some food now? Anything that you girls have will be fine, I’m starving.”

@herosupe : i don’t like the way he looks at you. sugar, spice & bittersweet ; accepting.
𝐢𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭, maeve had gotten so used to feeling homelander's eyes on her that she barely even noticed it anymore. if anything she would notice the absence of his gaze more than she noticed him actually looking at her. his possessiveness really knew had no end, even though the two of had never really been in love, he didn't know how to love and she had forced that part of her into a dark corner, never to be let out again. their relationship had been some 𝐩𝐫 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐞 that they had been forced into and whilst it had bled into their personal life, it had never really been real, not in the way some of her other relationships had been. but somehow homelander had convinced himself that there was still something between them and there always would be. maeve tried not to give it too much thought, she didn't want him to think that she actually cared about him and she didn't want to give him any 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 that whatever delusion he was dreaming up, she was thinking the exact same thing.
𝐬𝐡𝐫𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞, downing the drink in her hand before turning to the bartender to request another drink for herself and annie before letting out a sigh as she left the empty glass on the table, " pay no attention to him. it's what he thrives on and i've gotten used to it, " maeve gave the bartender a smile as she took the new drink from him, sliding the one for annie over to her, " you're telling me little miss iowa has never had a jealous ex before. or let me guess, you've only ever dated sweet boys who were perfect prince charmings, " a cynical tone to her voice as blue eyes roll as she takes a sip of her drink, barely glancing at homelander as she looked around the party. she hated these things, she hated parading around and forcing a smile, she would just keep drinking until she knew she had been here long enough to make a 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 to satisfy the big bosses. looking back at annie, she just gave her a small smile, " seriously, starlight, don't pay him any attention, i don't because i know it is exactly what he wants. how about instead we finish these drinks, find an excuse to leave and go get a real drink somewhere not in the tower? "

@thcrealheroes ; soldier boy / 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭.
𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐞, but it was better to ask for forgiveness than to wait for permission to do what she felt was right. then when ben agreed to come with her, saying it was the right idea, she didn't even think twice before getting into the car to drive to the location of the secret lab. they didn't need to wait for the debate on whether this was the right thing to do or not, even if they came to the same 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 that her and ben already had. they had already gone out of their way to rescue two sets of triplets who were raised in different vought labs, to make sure no other kids were raised in a way that had turned homelander into the monster he was. but the difference with this lab, the difference with the teenager inside was that she was a perfect genetic match to homelander. it shouldn't really be a shock that vought managed to create a clone and for the most part, maggie understood why they had should wait for the discussion, but she refused to sit around and wait. the whole point of getting those other kids out was to prevent another homelander, which was exactly 𝐰𝐡𝐲 they had to do this and they couldn't wait.
𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐛, the plans of the lab open on the hood of the car as they tried to figure out the best course of action. it was likely this lab was going to be crawling with people, scientists, security on a large scale and then, they had the supe inside who was potentially powerful and dangerous. but something just felt off, like everything was too quiet and she couldn't quite place why she just felt like 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 was odd. maybe it was just the nerves and knowing that it could potentially be a trap or the two of them may not even walk out of this, " looks like the living quarters are the furtherest down, guess they couldn't risk her escaping, " maggie said, pointing at the lower levels and trying to shake that feeling that something about all of this was really odd. they were outside what should be a fully functional vought lab and yet they were the only car here, something was different about this and she couldn't explain it, " c'mon, let's just get in there, make this quick and get her out. the kid's been there long enough and god knows what they've been doing to her, "
𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠, knowing ben was behind her because they always had each other's backs when it came to things like this. she wouldn't be able to do this without him. but the further they stepped inside, the more she felt like something was wrong, the place looked abandoned, like one day they all just dropped everything and walked out. was it possible they were too late? the evidence was suggesting this place had been abandoned for a while even if the generator was still running the power, the girl could either be long gone or potentially dead. looking back at ben as they waited for the elevator to take them down, " this place should be swarming with people. we shouldn't have been able to just walk in, " maggie pointed out, tapping her foot as she felt the nerves building in her chest, watching the lights as they descended the floors, " there was nothing in those reports sage found to suggest this place was abandoned. people should be here and yet we haven't found anyone, " hands move to rest on her hips as she looks at him, she didn't know what they were going to find once these doors opened, but she knew that there was no one else she would want with her right now, " ben, what if we're too late? what if we can't save her? "

@thcrealheroes ; soldier boy : if i didn’t know any better, i’d say you were trying to seduce me. three hundred & ninety prompts ; always accepting.
𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧. maggie knew exactly what he was and yet they were at a constant stalemate with one another. she couldn't kill him without blowing her own cover, no one in their neighbourhood would even begin to understand about monsters, creatures of the night and those who are trained to hunt them. plus she doubts any of them would believe her that her hot new neighbour was actually a vampire. ben carter was so much more than what they all thought, she had to resist rolling her eyes whenever they talked about how charming and attractive he is because she all knew that was part of a vampire's 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞, gaining trust to be able to get close to them. he was constantly there, despite how much she wished he wasn't and as much as she knew what he was, she was pretty sure that he knew exactly what she was too.
𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥, to not let emotions get the better of her and to not get so frustrated at him that she threw a punch in his direction. but sometimes it just got too much, which was exactly how she found herself 𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 him to a wall away from some summer party that one of their neighbours were having. she was was only here because her neighbours had told her that ben was planning to come, she was only here to make sure he didn't kill anyone. but the way he spoke, it just made her roll her eyes, pushing him against the wall once more and letting him go, taking a step back from him, " you are fucking delusional, you know that, right? "
𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐦, blue eyes flicking over his face and she wished she could just take the knife that she had hidden in one of her boots to show him exactly how she was not trying to seduce him, " you really think you are some gift to women, don't you? i bet that line usually works, " she teased, but she didn't hide her distaste for him. the two of them may be dancing around the fact that they know exactly what each other are, but when she felt like it was 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞 enough to show him exactly what she thought, she'd never pass up that opportunity. it didn't matter to her how attractive he was, or how charming or funny he could be, he was a vampire and she knew exactly what she should do with monsters like him, " i'm just here to make sure you don't hurt anyone here, these women are . . . not for your amusement, got it? "

𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬, they all had their own ways of dealing with the shitshow that was their lives and she had been waiting to see what annie's would be. clearly making bad choices when it comes to the men she sleeps with. first, hugh campbell. now, billy butcher. though she may actually understand the appeal of the second choice. for her, it had�� been drinking till she was numb and having mindless sex with strangers that didn't matter, a bad habit that she had been trying to stop and she took so many steps back by letting herself get drunk and fuck butcher. even worse to find out that she had 𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐭 probably the only true friend she ever had. whilst it may have started out as just a way to deal with the chaos of life as a vought brought and paid for supe, annie had never quite been able to separate her feelings and she had let herself fall in love with him. she should've told her sooner, maeve would've let her know that men like butcher are the type you run from, not fall head over heels in love with.
𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫'𝐬 𝐣𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐫. homelander had taken so much from him and he probably just saw this as another thing that homelander would take away from him. which probably said more about butcher's feelings towards annie than he had even had probably told her. did that mean she thought he was doing the right thing? fuck no. she just 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐝 it in a way that was all just a little too familiar. he was self destructive, just like she was. but even when she was trying to be better, she still managed to find a way to fuck it all up. maeve could barely look at herself right now and she almost wished annie would be more angry at her, instead of this heartbroken look that was written so plainly across her face. the moment she stood, she almost braced herself for a hit that she didn't know if it would come. or maybe that was just a reaction of the 𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐞 environment that she ahd been in for ages that she always expected a violent outburst.
𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐜𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐥𝐲, pushing herself off from where she was sat, shaking her head as she moved over to her quickly, standing in front of her, " no. don't you ever say that - homelander is not right. he knows fuck all about any of this shit and he wants you to be as broken and lonely as he is, " it was clear from her tone that she was speaking from an experience of almost two decades around that man. sighing softly as she ran a hand through her hair, she didn't have the answers for annie, nothing that would make her feel better and nothing that would even potentially be truthful. she knew nothing about the relationship with annie and butcher, she was shocked that it was even a thing considering that butcher wasn't exactly subtle about his 𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞 of supes. but if annie had fallen for him, clearly she had seen something that he doesn't let anyone else see, " hurt people hurt people. it's not right, but it happens. some people get so used to losing people that they lash out instead of holding on, "
𝐦𝐚𝐲𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝, she didn't think he was doing the right thing, but she may understand a little to where he was coming from. even though she wanted to punch him in the face for hurting annie like this, " look at me, annie, " hands reaching out to hold onto her shoulders as she looked at the younger supe, she wasn't ever good at the comforting thing, she wished she knew exactly what annie needed and she wished her first thought wasn't to just get drunk. fuck, when this was all over, she was really going to have to take a good long look at herself and sort it out, " you're not pathetic. you're the strongest person i know, you never fucking give up and you're not about to let the likes of billy butcher and homelander tear you down, got it? " if annie had wanted soft words and a loving hug, she should've reached out to hughie, but instead she'd come back to tower and all she was going to get from her was 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 and a take no shit attitude from maeve. but depsite that, her hand moves from one of her shoulders to wipe away a tear slipping down her cheek, " remember what i told you your first day? that may be how i deal with it, but that's not you and i know that now. i also told you to keep being yourself, so don't you fucking forget who you are because you are going to change the fucking world, i know it and everyone else will see it too. if billy butcher can't see what is right in front of him, then he's a big fucking idiot than he looks, "
YEAH, HE IS AN ASSHOLE. BILLY BUTCHER WAS BY FAR THE BIGGEST- next to Homelander -ASSHOLE that she had ever come across, and Annie had come across many of them. As she spent more time with him, she began to see less of his frustrating side and more of his true self. Their relationship- or whatever they were, wasn't perfect, as Billy still could drive her crazy and make her want to tear her hair out at times. However, she also discovered that there was a side of him that was unexpectedly heartwarming, and he would go out of his way to do things for her that truly touched her heart. Annie would have the worse day at work; having to deal with Homelander's shit gets exhausting. The chaos that is Vought- she found herself bearing an immense burden of stress, the tension in her muscles reaching an almost overwhelming level. But Billy would make things less shitty; his words had a way of making her feel as though a flurry of butterflies were DANCING wildly in her stomach. He bought her favorite snacks or made her something to eat. In Butcher's embrace, Annie found her SWEET ESCAPE from the harsh realities of the outside world. The moments spent in his arms, in his sanctuary, provided a healing balm for her weary soul, even if it were for a short moment.
Annie's mind snapped back to the present as Maggie reached out and grasped her hand. Their eyes met, and Annie's brown eyes flickered with emotion as she listened to the older supe's words. Despite her nonchalant shrug, Annie couldn't deny that she was aware of the situation. However, that awareness didn't diminish the pain she felt. " What is there to be jealous of ? I- I'm not dating Homelander. I'm not in love with him; I'm not his girlfriend ! It's not real. Homelander and I are not dating. It's all for show ! And Billy should know that. -- GOD, why are men so- so fucking... complicated and stupid. Just SO STUPID. " She brought her other hand up to rub against her temples, shaking her head in annoyance and biting down at her bottom lip. She brushed at her tear-stained cheek, her cheeks and eyes red, with blonde strands loose from her bun. She didn't think her day could get any worse... but it does. Maggie begins talking again. The blonde's eyebrows rose dramatically as Maggie revealed that she had been the one to guide them down the Soldier Boy trail. The redhead then explained that she had gone to investigate what had happened. And before Annie could remark on the whole Soldier Boy ordeal, she was left speechless as the older super confessed about her and Butcher, rendering her unable to utter a single word. Butcher and Maggie had sex; he never mentioned Annie, and not even once did he consider her feelings. It was not a thought that dared cross his mind. It seemed like she was nothing to him; she was nothing to him.
HOMELANDER HAD ONCE ' KINDLY ' INFORMED ANNIE HOW MEN LIKE WILLIAM BUTCHER will only leave her heart mangled up in the middle of an ally, unimportant and nonexistent. Very fatherly of him; what bullshit. The younger supe sneered with a roll of her eyes; he didn't tell her because he cared; Homelander told her because he was a fucking asshole that wanted to control her life along with everyone else ! Using the whole,' we're family here ' - as if it meant something to him, which she knew it didn't. While at the time, Annie didn't once agree... but now ? HER HEART DROPS, TORN TO PIECES, and left to rot away in its feelings... It's already too late. She found herself trapped in the depths of heartbreak, her emotions shattered and scattered like shards of glass. She had fallen deeply in love with Billy, unknowingly subjecting her heart to an agonizing ordeal. She did this to herself. She stood from Maggie's couch; her movements were deliberate and cautious, as if she feared that any sudden or careless action might cause her to collapse to the ground. Her eyes glistened with tears, blurring her vision, while her lips trembled as she struggled to hold back a choked sob, trying to swallow the lump lodged in her throat.
Annie tightly shut her eyes and raised a shaky finger toward Maggie, as if to ward off the impending conversation. A single shake of her head as she placed a hand over her chest, above her heart, feeling the aches that came with the emotional turmoil. " Don't- don't say sorry- I- you don't.... you didn't know, I'm- I'm not angry at you. " Her heart hurt with the realization that Homelander had been right all along. Despite the pain, a bitter laugh escaped her lips, exposing the damaged look in her eyes as she gazed up at the ceiling. She silently questioned why she had become entangled with Butcher, her UNSPOKEN plea echoing in the empty room. " - I can't- Homelander was right... " But it was to herself more than to Maggie. " ... I'm such a fucking idiot. I let myself fall for him like some stupid, pathetic little girl... I'm so fucking- " Annie sniffles, sweeping away the tears that dare stream down her cheeks like a faucet; they won't stop. " - I should have known... I should have known... why would he love me ? He never cared about me... I should have known.... God, I- don't know what to say... I just- he.... why does he keep hurting me... ? "

@thcrealheroes ; ben / CONT.
𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐲, whether that be physical or emotional. she had relied on elena to be the one to navigate her through their more difficult moments and in most of her past relationships, she would just remove herself from the situation and wait till the heightened emotions had calmed down, then she would find another way to make it up to them in a different way. sex was 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐲 but intimacy scared the shit out of her. except if it scared her, it practically left ben frozen and he was looking to her help him through this. which was why she had to push through those feelings that made her uncomfortable and help him, she wanted this, she wanted him more than she ever could've expected. knowing how difficult it was for him to talk about his own feelings, but he was trying, made it easier for her to be able to be honest. after losing elena and having so many 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐬 about how things went down, how she had missed out on not saying anything about how she feels, she wouldn't let that happen again because she knows elena would've wanted her to keep fighting and to keep loving someone.
𝐛𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝'𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐢𝐦. sure, he was a good and fun fuck, but falling in love was the part she didn't expect, it caught her off guard and at first, it made her feel like she was losing it. realising that she didn't want anything to happen to him made her feel sick at first, she knew that if she felt like this, it meant that she had something to 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 and she already felt like she had lost so much. she didn't realise when she sent butcher and the boys to russia that would've meant they would find soldier boy. she had believed he was gone, just like everything one else and then he comes, it shifted everything and gave them some sort of hope that they could actually stop ares. but as much as she was scared to lose him, she felt better going into any fight knowing he was at her side. they worked well together, better than anyone had ever expected, they were 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲 and fierce, it was something she had craved without realising she needed it. sure, her and homelander could work well together, but he had been selfish in a way that meant there wasn't always room for anyone else. which she had been worried that soldier boy would be the same, but he wasn't and the two of them just seemed to know exactly what the other was thinking in a fight, able to finish a move and it was seamless. he may have been unexpected, but now she would do 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 to keep him in her life and at her side.
𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐞 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝, her hand resting on his chest and she can feel the shift when he talked about russia and she could only imagine what he had gone through. she would do whatever she had to do to ensure that he never ended up in a place like that again, that he would get to have his freedom and enjoy his life. he would've fucking earned it if they were able to actually 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 ares and his washed up version of the seven. when he cups her cheek and his eyes meet hers, she can feel the way her heart is racing against her own chest and she almost wishes she couldn't feel it, it was distracting and all she wanted to do was hear him right now. yet she couldn't help but blink in surprise as he called her maggie, a name that felt like it belonged to a stranger considering how many people called her maeve over anything else. his words meant more to her than she knew how to say, she just smiled softly before moving from where she was, straddling his hips and hands move up to cup his face as she kisses him with a soft groan.
𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐬𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐬, feeling vulnerable but she knew that if he could try, so would she. ben was right, this was forever and she wouldn't ever take that for granted again, " i love you, ben. you and me? this isn't exactly what i ever expected, but i don't want to go anywhere without you, " maggie admits softly, teeth pulling on her bottom lip as she pulled back enough to look over him properly. he was 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥, a mess of dark hair, those green eyes that she couldn't stop looking at, the scruff of facial hair that she just loved. she had always thought he was attractive, like she wasn't blind or stupid, but seeing him in person and getting to know him, he became so much more to her than just the hero of heroes that he had always been. maggie knew this was it, he was her forever person and she knew elena would've wanted this for her. one of her hand moves through his hair as she moves to kiss him again, this time soft and gentle in a way that made her heart almost skipped a beat, " look, i don't know what the fuck is gonna happen with ares. but when this shit is over, or whatever happens, as long as we're together - nothing can stop us, okay? "
𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧, leaning on her elbow as she looked at him, sighing softly, " speaking of ares and trying to stop him, i have a crazy suggestion that i know butcher is gonna hate and it might be impossible to even do but, " maggie knew that if anyone would listen to her and have her back on any suggestion, it absolutely would be ben. but she also knew that she would need to get the others to agree before even taking it to butcher, " i think we need to try and find homelander and starlight. they disappeared but they're not dead, at least i want to believe they're not, " she tells him, looking away for a moment because it really did sound insane even to her, despite it being her idea. starlight would be an easy sell, but homelander? he would be the 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 butcher would ever want to ask for help. but she knew if they wanted to stop ares, they needed him, even if it pained her to admit it. as much as he had put her through hell over the years, she knew that strength was very much needed right now, " homelander may be the only person, apart from you, who is strong enough to stop ares . . . we're going to need him, "

@thcrealheroes ; starlight : " I - I thought I lost you when you sacrificed yourself taking out Soldier Boy. I - I never . . . why would you do that ! Why did you do that ? Don't you know I love you, Maggie ?! " random inbox asks ; always accepting.
𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, but it wasn't something she could ever regret doing. if soldier boy had exploded there, he would've killed them all and as much as she had been willing to do anything to make sure homelander died, she would never risk them all. especially not with annie right there, who she had already 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 over and over. she didn't even care if she died, she already knew fighting homelander was likely to be a fight to the death and she had made peace with that. but she never wanted this, she never would've wanted annie at risk like this. even in that moment where they locked eyes and she knew annie knew exactly what she was about to do, she didn't hesitate and she didn't even 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 to think about might happen to her. maggie knew that soldier boy's blast would get rid of her powers, which meant it was incredibly likely she wouldn't survive the fall. but she would've done the right thing, like annie believed she would do. she would be a hero like annie had once believed she was.
𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞, her whole body ached, she had completely lost her right eye and she was looking to a slow recovery. all the compound v in her blood had been burned away, she was human and as much as she was relieved to no longer have be queen maeve, she was not looking forward to this long recovery. honestly, she was surprised she wasn't more hurt, her left arm was in a sling, bandage over her eye and she was covered in bruises and cuts that were likely to scar. no longer made of 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐥, she was going to have to be careful with herself now, she was going to have to remember that she no longer had the strength or power she had grown used to. but nothing could've prepared for the emotional pain she felt when seeing annie again for the first time, seeing the look of pain on her face and the blonde always had such a way with words that 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐤 her right in the heart.
𝐲𝐞𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐞'𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫, reaching out for her with her good hand as she couldn't move much from the bed she was laid in, " you're always so dramatic, you know that? " maggie teased, giving her hand a gentle squeeze before she sighed softly, looking up at her with a soft look on her face, " you know why i did it - i wasn't gonna let you get caught up in that. you and your friends gotta keep fighting . . . it was the right thing to do, annie, " she admits softly, teeth pulling on her bottom lip for a moment. she wasn't good at this, the emotional things, annie was always much better at it than she was and she was just going to have to try to better now, " i love you, annie. fuck, you think i was gonna let anything happen to you. i just knew i had to get him out of there before you got hurt . . . the world fucking needs you, annie, no one needs me, "

@thcrealheroes ; a - train : i never meant for anyone to get hurt! three hundred & ninety prompts ; accepting.
𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐨 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛 𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥? that seeing a - train covered in blood barely had her flinching anymore. fuck, she shouldn't be like this. but whatever had happened for a - train to be completely covered head to toe in blood had to be pretty fucked up. he was shaking, mumbling about something and she knew that it must be 𝐛𝐚𝐝 if he had come to her before anyone else. what had he gotten himself caught up in that he was looking like this? maeve moved over to him, a softer look replacing the harsher one she had been wearing, " take a deep breath, reggie, you need to calm down and talk to me, " even with his speed, there was no way someone didn't know he had come into seven tower like this, which meant they had limited time before stillwell and her band of merry pr assholes would be to do damage control. considering the state he was in, it was likely whoever he had hurt wasn't exactly in a good way anymore.
𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐛 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐫, not caring about the blood at all and just trying to get him to focus on her instead of whatever panic was going on in his head, " breathe, in through your nose and out through your mouth, " she guided, not many people got to see this side of her, but something about reggie made her want to look out for him, she just wish she 𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐰 what trouble he had gotten himself caught up in. hands move to take his glasses off from his face, blue eyes narrowing as she looks at him for a moment. fuck. he was high, there was no mistaking that from his eyes. but on what? she had no idea because there was no way any normal drug would cause this, " what are you on? what did you take? reggie, tell me what happened, "

𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡�� 𝐣𝐨𝐛, if they weren't loved and admired by the crowds of people who cheered their names, who came to see their films and wear the merchandise, then they would be considered nothing in the eyes of the bosses at vought. it was something she had been taught since attending godolkin university, as much as being a hero in it's own way was 𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠, it was all about branding and selling yourself for an audience, something she was again familiar with because it was exactly what her dad had been doing to her the moment her powers had started showing.
𝐛𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐫𝐮𝐠𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬, raising her glass to her lips as she considers what diana is saying because did she appreciate danger? danger was the reason she had a job, again like the admiration, it was just 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 of it. she didn't really question anything anymore because she rarely got answers and what good would it do? vought would do whatever they had to make their heroes look good, " i appreciate the pay check i get when people do dangerous shit, " maeve answers, her tone cynical as she looks around the room before focusing back on the dark haired woman, " what else is there to appreciate? as long as people feel safe knowing their heroes are out there, looking after them. it's what we have to do, right? "
“ being loved and being admired are not within a breath of being the same, but they are both dangerous. ” one scars the ego, the other the heart. perhaps that, too, is too simple of an observation.
she witnesses the admiration maeve receives from a public who adores thinking their heroes do not bleed. but the moment the charade is over? the moment the adoring public realizes that heroes, too, can fall? that when you stab them, red pours from their broken skin? and then there is love.....it's what will save this world, you know.
it will also leave us with scars.
diana, princess, looks at the queen. “ do you appreciate danger? ”

@thcrealheroes ; homelander : " He - he's gone. They took him. Those motherfuckers took him ! " random inbox asks ; always accepting.
𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝, maeve and soldier boy were unstoppable whenever they were fighting alongside each other and it absolutely made sense that ares and his team of assholes would try to separate them. but she never should've let it happen. she got herself distracted for a moment and she lost track of him. fuck. she was trying not to panic, panicking wouldn't help him and panciking wouldn't make anyone feel better. yet she felt like she was on the 𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 and she could barely hear homelander as he spoke to her, blue eyes focused on the shield in his hands, her heart racing in her chest as she tried not to fall apart. this was the last thing he wanted. ben refused to be a prisoner again, to let himself get caught and remained captured again. he was going to be hating this, he was going to make life hell for those fuckers who thought they could do whatever they wanted. maggie would do anything to get him back, she had to because she know he would do 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 for her if she was the one who was caught.
𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐡𝐢𝐦, trying to hide the way her hands shook for a moment as she tried to ignore that need to just scream and break something. ares had taken so much from her already and she refused to lose anyone else to that fucker. she couldn't cry, she couldn't break apart, she didn't have that option right now. she just had to get him back and she would 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 like hell to get to him. holding his shield made her feel a little stronger, a little better but it wasn't enough. she had to get him back, she wouldn't leave him in that place, she wouldn't let him be a prisoner to anyone again. taking a deep breath, finally looking up at homelander as she moved the shield onto her back, " he's not gone. i'm getting him back, i'm not . . . i'm not fucking losing him too, " maeve shook her head, probably wasn't thinking clearly but she wasn't going to just let him go. she needed him and she wouldn't be without him, he always called her his sword and she needed her shield more than anything.
𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐨�� 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲, she wasn't going to stop till ben was free and he got to have the life that seemed like a far off dream. she wouldn't let him stay that way, she wouldn't give up on him. running a hand through her hair, looking in the direction of vought tower, she wasn't thinking but she knew 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 what she needed to do. walking in the direction of the tower, not looking at homelander as she walked past him before stopping, " are you coming or are you really gonna let me do this alone? " maeve asked, glancing back at him and she knew he had plenty of reasons to say no, but she also knew how important family was to him. annie was going to be mad at both of them for being so thoughtless, but even the blonde goody two shoes would understand why they needed to do this, " we can't leave him there. ares will . . . ares will only do to him what the russians did, if not fucking worse. we gotta get him back, we're all he has, "

@thcrealheroes ; starlight : just talk to me! memes from nghtmarish ; inbox is open.
𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦. annie was always so good, just pleading with her to always do the right thing, always wanting to see the best in everyone. always so fucking hopeful. it seemed like a lifetime ago when she had had the same thought process, now she was just bitter and angry at homelander, at vought, at annie, at the fucking world, at herself. she didn't say 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 to her because she didn't have anything to say. what good would it do either of them? words weren't going make this better for either of them. annie wanted her to stand up, to fight for them against homelander and vought, but she had lost all of her fight and she didn't have the energy to do it anymore. every time she tried to fight him, she lost everything and she couldn't lose annie, she refused to lose annie. even if refusing to fight alongside her meant she would lose her in a different way, but if it meant that she was still alive, then that was good enough for her.
" 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐲? " maeve sighed, taking another drag of her cigarette before looking over at annie with an unemotional look on her face. she didn't get why she was so 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 on trying to do the right thing. annie was always going to be the best of them, but it also could be the thing that could put her in the most danger. as much as she wished she could help, maeve didn't want to keep going up against homelander, they were never going to win. running a hand through red strands of hair, shaking her head as she looked away from her because she couldn't see the look of 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 on the blonde's face, " there is nothing you can say that's gonna make me change my mind, annie. i won't fight him, " she took another drag exhaling smoke before looking over at her again, a dark look in blue eyes as her anger reaches a boiling point, " i saved your fucking life over and over, but you're so insistent putting yourself on the line to save people who don't fucking matter! " maybe it was all the years of being around homelander for her to have that atittude, but she also didn't think that annie should be consistently putting herself at risk like this. no one was going to thank her for it. no one would even remember her if she got herself killed trying to do the right thing.
𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐤𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐭, considering how much she had been drinking, it was a miracle that she even could stand up right now. moving towards her, blue eyes fiery as she looked at her, " if you think i am going to stand you and watch you get yourself killed, think again. i won't do it. i can't do it, " the last part was whispered almost like she was scared of saying it or it even be heard. she wasn't good at this, being honest with her feelings and she had a good reason to hold back now. annie had 𝐧𝐨 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚 what homelander would do to her if he knew what maeve felt for her. his jealousy and possessiveness was still ever present, a threat on every kind of meaningful relationship she tried to have in her life. the last thing she wanted was for this fight to reveal the one thing she had been trying to keep safe and risked her losing everything, " i can't stop you if this is really what you want to do, go with your little twink friend and get yourselves killed trying to fight him. but i can't keep saving you if you insist of running head first into danger, so good luck but get out, i can't do it, "
