If you want to kill me, there's another me running around that I'm happy to direct you towards," I said, floating above the street and making no attempt to come closer to him.

2023-10-21 14:54:29 +0000 UTC View PostI am so annoyed with myself. I am so goddamn annoyed with myself. If I could punch myself in the mouth, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I almost wished for a Future Me to show up and put me down like an animal because I clearly deserved it. I had slipped up. I got over confident. I looked down...

I knew, in the end, my greatest asset was secrecy. It was the mask. I could put it on to become Heartless and I could take it off to become just another face in the crowd ...

Oh…" Homelander whispered, his breath stuck behind a lump in his throat as he gazed down at the brain matter and blood on his gloved hand, the office blissfully silent.

Which faced against the Black Sea, making his involvement in my taking of Crete rather unusual. His domain was on the other side of Anatolia, and I saw little merit for him providing any kind of support. It lands were...
