Chapter 11: Ch.: 11. Meeting with Butcher, Frenchie, Homelander and Madelyn, Ass-Bomb
"Oh, fu*k's sake, you're really him? Not dead?" Hughie asked cursing.
"He is Hughie, and this guy escaped from Homelander, while flying in sub orbit." Butcher said to Hughie, stepping in front of Manav and saying with his usual attitude.
"So, myself Manav Singh." Manav said, stretching his hand forward for handshake.
"Butcher, Billy Butcher, what you here for? Homelander or Vought?" Butcher asked shaking hand.
"Homelander specially and Vought, because they are also in my murder." Manav replied sliding his hood back in front of his face, hiding it completely.
"Let's go, police will come any moment." Manav said sitting in passenger seat of car.
Hughie sat in backseat and butcher in his driver seat.
"Se tell us, how will you take the revenge?" Butcher asked tilting his head to Manav.
"A grand plan, but first plan is that I want to enquire about something with that translucent." manav replied pointing to back of car.
"So you got plan on how to deal with that invisible cunt?" Butcher asked.
"No." Manav shook his head. Although he knew the way through the webseries seen in his previous life.
But he has something planned.
…
After driving for a while, they arrived in rundown area.
Butcher stepped outside with hughie.
Manav didn't follow them, just sitting in car thinking.
After a while they came out of the house with two more guys.
Butcher nodded to the man, who was carrying suitcases.
Man walked to the another side of house and drove a van out.
Butcher and hughie arrived near the car and sat in.
They were again on the way.
After a long drive they came to closed restaurant named "Tony Ciceros's family restaurant".
Butcher entered the shop, manav following him.
Suddenly a thing hit Manav's hed in back and hughie was seen holding a thick wooden stick.
"Well, let's go inside." Butcher who turned back after hearing the falling voice said.
Three of them carried the things in van's back to underground in restaurent.
…
"Where is translucent? Find him what are you doing here just sitting down around." Ashley scolded the satellite or computer department.
"We are trying to find him but his tracker is like, can't be traced." Anika replied to Ashley.
"I don't want to hear any excuses, find the translucent quickly." Ashley said and left.
In another office room.
Madelyn was watching TV on which A-Train was talking to cancer child, but his performance was poor.
A door clicking voice sounded.
"Make a script for A-Train next time, don't let him do anything without scripts, okay?" Madelyn said to Ashley who was standing behind her.
"Sorry, mam, we will definitely make a script for A-Train next time." Ashley said apologising.
"Okay, turn off the TV." Madelyn ordered Ashley sitting on her voice president seat.
…
Manav woke up, finding himself tied to iron chair tightly and a cage in front of him.
"Awake? Tell me what you did to them to be tied here?" A voice sounded as a naked man appeared in cage.
Manav closed his eyes quickly.
"Ugh my eyes are dirtied, fucking translucent and butcher." Manav cursed to himself.
"Hey why did you closed your eyes? And why are you looking so familiar to me?" Translucent asked with confusion as he tried to recall.
"Oh yes! I remember aren't you that fucking dead guy, CEO of Cow Industries." Translucent said.
"Yes so what?" Manav asked back.
"How did you escaped from homelander and did you created that fastest jet of the world?" Translucent asked with curiosity not worried about his own situation.
"Yes! I created that jet and if I think Vought has already started to research on debris of my jet." Manav replied.
"Wow you're right, you know, although vought has very advanced technologies in this world, but really man! Your jet, vought is racking their brains to create the same jet as hour's one." Translucent said making surprised expressions on his face.
Manav knew that he was falling his expressions.
"Do you want to escape from here?" Manav asked to translucent.
Suddenly door opens and three guys came in, butcher, hughie and Frenchie.
"So tell us, our dead CEO killed by Homelander, what is your intentions behind following us?" Butcher asked.
"Well I heard your talk with that guy hughie and I knew one thing that you can help me in revenge against Homelander and Vought." Manav replied to butcher with anger in his eyes, which was real.
"Oh what a double thinking guy, just k ow you're planning with me to escape and now want to be with them." Translucent said cutting between their conversation, Manav changed angry expression before translucent turned back, so he didn't knew that manav was talking true.
Butcher waved his head to Frenchie, who stepped ahead toward Manav opening his restraints.
Manav rubbed his palms on his hand where restraint was bound.
"Hey why did you released him? He is lying." Translucent asked with disbelief.
Hughie was also confused, looked at butcher confused.
"I can see the fire of revenge and anger, whenever he mentions Homelander." Butcher replied with wide grin on his face.
Manav stepped ahead near butcher and turned to look at translucent who has turned invisible already.
"Tell me the location of compound V." Manav asked translucent.
Translucent's pupils widened with shock. He didn't replied.
"Silence is the answer." Manav said, making trio believe him.
"What're you taking about? I don't know what compound? What V?" Translucent spoke trying to divert the topic.
"What is the thing?" Butcher asked Manav.
"Oh a serum, injected in childhood, which gives these pschos powers, unimaginable powers, but a bad function, can only be injected in childhood." Manav replied.
"Oh so that fucking Homelander is not some god's child, just a lab babies, what a f*ck!" Butcher exclaimed, his beliefs strengthening more to destroy Homelander and Vought.
"How did you knew about it?" Translucent asked still shocked that manav knew so much.
"A source that no one can find in this world, only I know about it." Manav said indifferently.
"So can we get further information from that your source?" Frenchie asked.
"Nah not now, retired, but I have already inquired the news which can be known." Manav said.
"Let's talk." Butcher said putting his arms on Manav's shoulder.
Manav and trio left, as translucent stared at them thinking something.
"So tell me what you got on Homelander?" Butcher asked the moment door closed.
"A big baby, who likes milk very much, specially of woman, a big baby who doesn't have family love, always wants to get that love from the people around them, but he doesn't gets it because people thinks of Homelander as higher being or fear him." Manav replied.
"So how can we kill Homelander?" Butcher asked again.
Manav raised his hands in air, shaking his head in deny.
"Looks like even you don't know the way." Frenchie said from aside.
…
"So Homelander, the mayor died in plane crash, debris found in river by deep, you know deep told me a thing, only to me, not to anyone else, he found a laser attack on plane, which cut the plane in half, laser fired by human eyes width, so tell me why did you killed him?" Madelyn asked Homelander.
"I, i, uh, … he blackmailed you so." Homelander was speechless for a while, after a while he answered.
Madelyn sighed as she took Homelander to sit on sofa.
On the other side floor of building in seven's conference room.
Starlight was sitting on her chair, Ashley entered with a guy.
"We have exciting news for you, tonight you will go on your first patrol." Ashley said, pushing the tablet in front of the starlight.
"Wow.". Starlight exclaimed in surprise.
"This is our crime analytics director." Ashley introduced the man.
Man slided on the tablet in front of the starlight.
"A crime itinerary?" Starlight asked in confusion.
"Yes, that's what the crime department under me does." Man said.
"Really, but I do my investigation myself." Starlight said.
"Well not anymore, it's coming from corporate, to protect you." Ashley replied.
"And I'm with deep, he can do patrol alone." Starlight read the itinerary and refused the patrol.
"Sorry, but you have to go, already decided." Ashley said, rejecting.
Everyone left.
After a while Homelander entered the empty conference room and called deep for a meeting.
Deep came after a while and saw an empty conference room except Homelander standing there.
"Well, looks like there is no one here, the meeting is over? I will go." Deep said and turned about to leave.
"No, this meeting is between us, you and me." Homelander said.
Deep stopped and entered the conference room, doors closed as he entered.
Deep became nervous.
"So tell me, why did you told about the planet's debris thing to Madelyn, specially the laser marks on it." Homelander said as he stepped behind deep and put his hands on shoulders of deep and tightening his grip slowly.
"Sorry, sorry, I will never do that." Deep replied with fear in his eyes.
…
Frenchie and butcher have tried various ways to kill the translucent, but it was impossible as his meta skin was turned on everytime.
"Why don't you try putting a bomb inside his body?" Manav said to Frenchie.
"What a good idea! Man!" Frenchie jumped up slightly with joy.
