"Get the fuck into that cage."

Hughie said nervously to the naked Translucent who is outside of his cage, holding a makeshift bomb detonator in his hand.

"Take it easy man."

Translucent nervously said with both his hands raised.

"Please get into the cage."

Hughie responded and increased his grip on the detonator as he saw Translucent trying to get closer.

"I'm not going into that cage man, I will die."

"Well if you don't, you're dead."

Hughie said with resolve as he looked at him with a seemingly hardened expression on his young and innocent face.

"Listen, if you kill me they are not going to stop. You will be glancing all over your shoulder your whole life, Deva will track you guys down and believe me, even Homelander is better."

Translucent said calmly as he got closer to Hughie, trying to convince him.

"Look if you let me go, you'll be the hero that saved Translucent. Hell, I can even put up a word for you with Deva so that you will be an instant millionaire. It's not too late, you can still go home back to your life."

Listening to Translucent's convincing words, Hughie stop gripping the detonator and put his hand down as a sign of surrender, making Translucent believe he has been convinced.

"Atta Boy, don't worry. When I'm home I will make sure you are heavily rewarded, soo much that you will forget about your girl after all, there are many women in this world."

Translucent tapped his shoulder with a smile and walked past Hughie whose head was down and was breathing heavily.

Hearing Translucent talk about Robin like she was just a normal girl you can meet made him very angry.

'Fucking Amateur, he actually believes he will stay alive after I go back. For all the pain I've gone through at their hands, I will make sure they experience ten times more pain before they die. Hmpff, he actually thinks he will get money.'

Translucent thought with a grin on his face as he turned invisible, almost at the exit.

<Bang!>

But before he could reach it, he suddenly exploded into pieces, sending blood and guts all over the room.

The cause of the explosion was just standing there, a few meters away from the exit with his whole body covered in blood and guts with a determined face, the detonator still in his face.

Looking at the bloody scene for a minute, he turned to the wall and read the words at the bottom of a poster on the wall to his left that had a baby on it.

The words read: "Keep your hands clean."

But it seems his hands aren't going to be clean for a while.

"Uncle V, please do that again!"

Ryan said excitedly on the floor of the beautiful living room.

"Sure buddy."

I said with a smile and with a thought, Ryan levitated off the floor into the air.

"I can never get used to this, this is amazing!"

He said in awe as he flew around the living room, round about it making excited noises.

A smile drew on my face as I watched him enjoy the feeling of flying even though this is not the first time I've made him do so.

This is Ryan, Homelander's son. He is an eight year old boy with blond hair and blue eyes that reminded me of his father, the resemblance is really hard to miss.

Eight years ago, I found out that when Homelander raped Becca, she became pregnant with his child.

Mr Edgar called me a month after I saw Becca to propose something.

They wanted a potential father figure for John's child as he grew up and they wanted me to be the one since Doctor Vogelbaum didn't want the child to end up like Homelander.

I actually thought John couldn't give birth, I mean I've studied everything about him even his reproductive system.

Naturally, anytime his sperms swim to fertilize an egg they arent successfully since they kill each other before any of them can do so.

If it isn't artificial done, the probability of him getting children is even less than zero point one but it seems they were right when they said nature always finds a way.

I accepted the proposal since Ryan is the first natural born supe and I couldn't resist studying him.

Also, I have other plans for him.

Right now, he sees me like his father even though I've made him aware that I'm not his dad.

I don't see the reason why I should hide that from him when he will eventually figure it out.

Some of his powers have already manifested, his durability is almost the level of an adult supe at his tender age and his senses too are enhanced beyond human limits, almost reaching his father's level.

As a natural born supe, he has way more potential than even me and that's something.

Its very probable he will unlock all of his father's abilities or even develop new ones in addition and I want to find that out.

I'm not going to leave such a fine specimen to someone like John who won't make him realize his full potential.

"That's enough flying for today Ryan. It's time to study."

I said with a slight smile as I got up from the couch and made him descend to the ground.

One difference between he and his father is their IQ with Ryan having a higher IQ than his dad.

Because of this, I've been teaching him ever since he became five and he hasn't disappointed me.

His talent lies in Tech and lucky for him I'm the best there is in that field.

"Okay, I almost forgot. Let me show you something I've been working on."

He said cheerfully and rushed out of the living room to his room that was upstairs, passing by Becca who was descending.

"Ryan! I told you no running in the house."

Becca shouted as Ryan passed by her.

"Okay mom!"

He responded hastily as he continued running, ignoring his mother's reprimand.

"He's full of energy isn't he?"

I asked with a smile on my face as she descended and walked towards me with a beautiful smile on her face.

She is wearing a blue shirt that was slightly opened with tight jeans that highlighted her hips and ass, giving her a mature but sexy look.

"Yeah, I don't even know where he gets his energy from because it can't be from me."

Becca laughed as she came in front of me, her floral scent washing over me.

"Yeah, It can't be you. I still remember how I had to carry you to bed when you got drunk that day."

I said with a smirk making her blush slightly since that is an embarrassing topic for her.

"You won't let that incident slide will you?"

She asked in a slightly annoyed tone with a smile on her face.

"Nope, how else will I make you blush."

I replied in a playful tone that made her shake her head with a smile.

".... Hey, regarding what I asked you about the other day. Have you still not found him yet?"

Becca asked nervously after a few seconds of silence, with her left hand rubbing her right arm.

"I still haven't gotten any info on him. I've been searching all over for him but I still haven't found any trace of him."

I shook my head and sighed.

She is asking of Billy Butcher. This isnt the first time she's asked about him and everytime she does I just lie.

I haven't even tried finding the poor guy, it's not worth my time but she doesn't need to know that.

"Hey, don't worry. You know I'm here for you right?"

I comforted her as I hugged her tightly with my hands around her waist and hers around mine, her head on my chest due to our height differences.

"I know Virgil and I'm grateful for that. I dont even know how I can repay you."

She said gratefully.

"You don't have to repay me for anything my dear."

I said in a loving tone as she removed her head from my chest and stared at my face that was covered in a charming smile.

We stared at each other for a while and suddenly, she kissed me.

I already knew she will do that so I wasn't surprised and reciprocated the kiss, turning it into a hot and passionate one with my hands groping her ass and her arms around my neck.

"Mhnnnm~"

She moaned in my mouth as we made out.

I've finally succeeded. It hasn't been easy but she has finally fallen into my palms, who knew making a woman who is in love with her husband have feelings for you is this hard.

Hehehe, tomorrow I will explore all her caves, I deserve that at least for my efforts not matter how little they were.

I guess being alone for eight years with only your son and a handsome man who shows you love and care is really effective.

"Mom? Uncle V? What are you guys doing?"

Ryan, who just got back from getting his laptop asked as he saw us making out in the living room.

"Its nothing sweetie, we were just having another kind of conversation. There is nothing to worry about."

Becca broke the kiss and replied with a smile as she left my arms.

"Okay? Uncle V come and see what I was talking about."

Ryan said excitedly as he sat down on one of the sofas and opened his laptop gesturing me to come over, dismissing what he just saw to the back of his mind.

"Sure."

I said with a slight smile and walked towards him.

"Virgil, there is something you should know."

Seraph's voice sounded from the earpiece in my left ear, making me stop in place.

"What's wrong Virgil?"

Becca asked worriedly since I abruptly stopped with Ryan's face showing visible confusion.

"Something really important came up so I have to leave at the moment."

I replied in a serious tone as I turned to face her.

She nodded in understanding but Ryan was sad.

Sigh, dealing with kids is such a chore.

"Don't be sad buddy, I will be back later and when I come back expect a present."

I said to Ryan as I came close to him and patted his head with a smile.

Hearing I will bring a present, he nodded happily.

Seeing this I immediately left the beautiful home and flew away towards the city since the house was in an isolated area far away from it.

"What's the problem Seraph?"

I asked, flying towards the city slowly.

"Translucent is dead, I lost his bio signal more than an hour ago."

She announced.

"... Interesting, those who killed him must be really smart and resourceful to pull this off. Do you know who did it?"

I asked with a stoic expression on my face. I ddnt ask why I'm now hearing this because she knows I dont care about him, she only decided to tell me now because a considerable amount of time has passed.

"Not at the moment, they were careful enough to evade surveillance. This is the work of experts."

She said.

"....Hmmm, give me his last location."

"I can't give you his exact location since an electromagnetic disruptor is blocking me but he is in Jersey City. By the time you get there, I would've bypassed the disrupter and give you his exact location."

"..... They even have Military grade Tech I designed? Well then, let's go and see what's going on."

Speeding up, I blasted away towards New Jersey.
