Making Nomus

Parking my car far enough away from the research facility was easy enough, no the hard part was ordering the Nomu to get everything on the list due to their limited mental capacity. I think in the end they understood well enough, that he needed to rip and tear through security and the cameras as well. Although that's my guess, hopefully, I would be proven right in the end. 

Opening the car door, they immediately flew out of the window and towards the research facility. So while we waited, I wondered what I should use my Nomus for and while yes I would love to rampage about a bit, that wouldn't be good in the long run. I would be caught eventually and while not even Homelander would be able to stop me when the time came, I would prefer to have some freedoms and not more restrictions on me. 

I could try and compete with Vought for the military contract, I think the military would like some mindless beast under their control, well the low-ends and middle-ends, the ones too stupid but too powerful to not use as footsoldiers or better. The near high-ends and high-ends themselves they would be mind to use for however I see fit. The bodyguards, the employees of my own little organization, the ones smart enough to understand who was in charge. 

First I would need to build up my forces far more and get some assistance as well while I was at. People I could trust who didn't like supes but weren't related or even near Butcher or the US government in general. The special type of intelligent people who had no morals and wanted to experiment a bit would be hard to find. For right now just this one Nomu would do well that and the chemicals they are stealing right about now. 

Well if the alarms were any indication to go by, and the shots going off alongside the screams as human beings were torn apart. I got my phone out and started scrolling through the newsfeed, looking at what people were covering right now, and lo and behold Starlight, it's all Starlight-centric. Well, I should probably meet the so-called "earth's mightiest heroes" sooner or later, and what luck it was to meet the newest member. 

I could honestly say I was tempted to try and steal one of their abilities today, more specifically Translucent but there were some things from the show I wanted to keep on track. More specifically some of the stuff for the later seasons. Just so I could plan around everything and make sure I came out on top. Especially when Stan Edgar is kicked out of his own company, after all, Homelander was an idiot overall, nothing special in the long run.

Then after a couple of more minutes of waiting, I saw the Nomu flying back with an arm littered with bullet holes, that was currently regenerating. That and their clothes were bullets littered as well and covered in blood, probably his and several other people's as well. They put the various substances in the back and got into the back of the car. Once that was all done I went back home and started unloading the various chemicals taking them inside and downstairs, being extremely careful. 

Some of the substances were radioactive after all, which helped in making Compound V. With the help of my first Nomu, I was able to make a couple of batches of the stuff and would probably need to rob another place soon enough before making more. Next would be to get some more subjects, perhaps a mixture of supes and normal humans this time to see how they each differentiated from each other. So while I got ready for bed, I sent the Nomu out to scout out for potential candidates and to avoid normal civilians for right now, at least until I got more Bomus and a more stable Compound V situation. 

So I went to sleep all the while my little Nomu went out and collected a few candidates for me. 

The next morning, I woke up and checked the news and while they did cover the disappearances and the break-in at the place my Nomu robbed, most people were concerned with Vought or "The Seven" which made sense for the type of world I lived in. Didn't matter, that meant less attention for my various dealings, but I should become a part of the underworld at some point. If I wanted to make a proper supervillain organization I needed to have far more connections than I did now. 

Which was to slaw close to zero, maybe nine at best due to a few shady dealings I had in the past to get my hands on a few supes. Both for experimentation and because they were getting a bit too close for my liking. Those were the smart ones, the ones who had dirt on Vought and had the dough to prove it, if they paid off the people I went to well I killed them for stabbing in the back and went after them myself. 

Changing real quick I went to the basement where all the people should and low and behold the Nomu had chained up about four supes hopefully. One of them was already up and screaming, I think it was "Eyeball" or something like that, he had a gigantic eyeball that was essentially one gigantic laser. The other three I didn't recognize, were possible supes who weren't on Vought's payroll and whose power wasn't impressive enough. 

Didn't really make a difference as I got another butcher/lab coat on alongside some blue gloves that were stained from my previous victims. I got started on making Compound V, making sure each dosage was right and that all my syringes were properly clean. Then I got the first one ready and looked at them, with the others starting to wake up and each one had a shocked expression on their face. 

The only question was which one should I go for first, the Eyeball guy was a bit tempting just to see what would happen. The others had minor superpowers and less noticeable changes to their biology overall. 

"So who wants to go first."
