Bab 315: 315 The Boys: Annie and Cate Scared, Kimiko's Happiness, and Deadly Danger at Sea.
Annie and Cate kept their heads down during dinner. It was odd to see the lively Annie and the playful, flirtatious Cate behaving this way. However, the most surprising thing was seeing Kimiko smile as she set the plates on the table.
'What happened?!' thought Annie but didn't dare to ask at that moment.
'This is so awkward... am I going to be abandoned?' Cate's thoughts were more extreme, imagining that Allen might kick her out for spending so much money. Her eyes began to tear up and when Allen came out of the kitchen, she jumped onto his lap and clung to him.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to spend so much money! I didn't even know clothes could be so expensive!!"
Allen laughed as he stroked Cate's head. He looked at Annie, who was also scared. "Do you think I'm a demon or something? Of course, I know it was an accident. Besides, I'm partly to blame for lying about the origin of money. don't worry girls"
Neither of them came from Beverly Hills, and it never crossed Allen's mind that they would try to take advantage of him.
"Really?" Cate asked with a remorseful look. Allen patted her head while the plates floated around them. "Yeah, Cate, I'm not angry. In fact, I found the situation amusing. If I had been with you, I would have let you buy all that just to see your reaction, hahaha."
Cate felt relieved as she stood up. Annie got up and walked over to Allen. Standing in front of him, she lowered her head.
"I'm sorry too..."
Allen took her chin and lifted her gaze. "Well, don't feel too bad. But if you can't get over it, there's something you can do for me to make up for it."
Annie blushed with embarrassment but didn't look away, smiling bravely. "Ask for whatever you want!"
Kimiko covered her mouth, seeing Annie's blatant flirting. On her part, she felt a pang of jealousy but said nothing.
After that, Allen gestured, and the remaining dishes arranged themselves. It was quite a sight. Allen felt very comfortable using magic again, not only because it made things easier but simply because he enjoyed it.
In an improved mood, the four of them ate in harmony.
...
Later, the items that Annie and Cate had bought arrived.
"I forgot! we should return everything!" Annie was so distracted by the relief she felt seeing that Allen wasn't angry with her that she forgot the most important thing, returning the items.
"No..." Allen said, holding his chin. "I really don't think it's necessary."
"But!"
Allen gave Annie a gentle tap with his fingers to silence her and signed for the delivery. Kimiko and Cate offered to put away the packages and bags, and Allen accepted while he spoke with Annie, who was still dissatisfied.
Annie sat on the sofa with her arms crossed. Allen sat beside her, but she ignored him.
"Don't worry. I know our proud Annie wouldn't accept such expensive gifts. So, I thought you could pay me back."
Annie turned to look at Allen, surprised by his words. But seeing his mysterious smile, she couldn't help but think of bad things, and she blushed.
Allen could see Annie's thoughts and laughed, making her feel both angry and embarrassed.
...
Away from the hustle and bustle of New York, Butcher was trying to get out of the state.
Butcher, Rebecca, and Ryan sought CIA support to hide Rebecca and her son.
William Butcher felt conflicted. He should have been completely happy to see Rebecca again, but the child, being Homelander's son, was a constant reminder of what had happened.
Butcher stopped at a gas station and took the opportunity to call Reyner, Mallory, MM, and especially Allen to find out what had happened with Homelander.
Butcher smiled slightly upon learning that Homelander had fled from Allen. However, his smile faded when he heard that Homelander had become much stronger. Remembering how Homelander's laser vision had destroyed a neighborhood in seconds, he realized that dealing with Homelander would be more difficult than he had thought.
Butcher went to buy something in the store and saw Rebecca smiling at Ryan through the window. Butcher knew that for her, he was her son. William sighed, wondering if he could ever love Ryan or at least accept him.
He received a message from MM and remembered the Madelyn issue, Butcher called him.
Butcher didn't have time to think about Madelyn, so he left MM in charge of escorting her.
"Butcher, shouldn't we call the kid?"
"Oh for God's sake, Marvin, you have the strength to split a horse in half. You can't rely so much on Allen!"
MM was astonished to hear Butcher, who was capable of using an elderly woman for his purposes, criticizing someone for suggesting asking Allen for help. Butcher hung up and lit a cigarette, well away from the gas pump, of course.
The sky was clear as Butcher sorted out his thoughts. He needed to find a safe place for Rebecca and her son, and then he could talk with her calmly. There was an urge to abandon everything and simply flee with Rebecca, but William owed too much to The Boys, especially to Allen. Without him, Butcher and Rebecca might be dead. Besides, he still owed Homelander and Stan Edgar a punch in the face.
Butcher returned and got into the car, handing Rebecca a bag with sandwiches and some sodas.
"We can eat at a restaurant later; first, let's get out of the state."
"William... I..."
"Rebecca, you and I have a lot to talk about, but that doesn't matter right now. Let's get you and your son to safety."
Rebecca started crying silently, and Ryan looked worried.
"Are you okay, Mom?"
Butcher felt his heart break every time he heard the unknown child call his wife "Mom."
...
MM hung up and leaned against the table. Hughie and Frenchie exchanged glances.
"Should we take Madelyn to the CIA meeting?"
"What about Butcher and Allen?"
"We can't rely on the guy for everything. He has to deal with the new Seven, and Butcher needs to get his wife to safety..."
"But..." Hughie tried to respond, but MM pulled a knife from his waist and stabbed Hughie's chest, only for the knife to break.
"And?" MM said, raising an eyebrow. Hughie nodded in understanding of what MM meant.
"I'll help you..." said Popclaw with a nervous look. "If you can trust me..."
Frenchie nodded, and MM shook his head. Hughie coughed and shrugged.
...
Back home with Allen, night fell and 2B followed him to his room, slowly undressing until she was left in her underwear.
Allen watched her, but she remained expressionless, though with a slight blush on her cheeks. Allen approached and removed her blindfold, revealing her beautiful blue eyes.
Rebecca thought, 'Darling, how long will I be punished like this?!'
Rebecca had been forbidden from sleeping with Allen ever since she had prevented 2B from protecting him from Cate's nighttime attack, which ended in an embarrassing situation.
Allen cupped 2B's face in his hands. A faint glow appeared in his eyes. Despite how much she maintained her impassive expression, her feelings were impossible to hide. Allen's hands slowly caressed her face and neck, his touch carrying a kind of intent. 2B also felt her master's desire and her heart began to accelerate.
"Master..." She began to breathe in an accelerated manner hoping that her body could satisfy her master.
But just as he was about to kiss her, someone knocked on his bedroom door.
"Master, may I request permission to deal with the intruder..."
Allen smiled with irony and kissed 2B on the forehead as an apology. "You can't..."
Allen almost saw 2B pout before disappearing. He walked to the door and opened it since he had started locking his room after Cate's attack.
Outside stood Kimiko, wearing pajamas and looking somewhat scared.
"What's the matter?"
'The clothes...'
Allen understood. Of course, it would be unfair to buy new clothes only for Annie and Cate. So, he used the clothes from the system's chests. They were high-quality and nothing to envy of high-end fashion. However, the amount was so great that even after filling the closets of all his girlfriends and giving them away to all the women he knew, he still had a pile of cards filled with clothes and many products he didn't need.
As for the sizes, they could be chosen according to preference. With the help of the system, Allen filled Kimiko's personal closet with beautiful clothes, some of which were items she had seen in K-dramas and seemed interested in wearing.
'I can't accept this.'
"I know, so starting tomorrow, you'll help me with my superhero work."
'What?'
"I trust that you and Annie are capable of handling it on your own. Depending on whether you catch a thief or dismantle a criminal organization, I'll assign you a reward."
Kimiko shook her head. 'But how does that benefit you?'
"Benefit?..."
Allen froze.
How long had it been since he thought about benefits? There was a time when he even charged Shield for helping them with issues like Hulk and Loki.
Seeing Allen's confused look, Kimiko smiled softly and moved closer to kiss him. Allen returned to his senses when he noticed Kimiko's action, and she pulled back, looking him in the eyes.
Allen didn't reject the gesture and grabbed Kimiko's waist to kiss her back. This continued for almost half an hour until the woman pulled away, out of breath, and then ran to her room.
When he returned inside, he found 2B's dissatisfied gaze. Knowing that there would be no action tonight, he picked her up and carried her to bed to sleep. 2B seemed to calm her mood as she curled up in her master's arms.
Bocchi thought, 'These... adult things are... killing me...'
Nokotan said, 'Stupid master! You're going to give our Bocchi a panic attack!'
Artoria remarked, 'Heh, every time I think if it's good that you're growing up or if it would have been better if you stayed a cute little boy for a while longer...'
Allen admitted that he had lost a bit of self-control, but he also believed that it wasn't a sin.
Allen drew 2B closer and enjoyed the softness of the beautiful woman. It was simply a luxury to be him, and it was no wonder his life was so full of problems or it would be too unfair to everyone else.
The next morning, Allen woke up when someone knocked on his door. In his arms was the platinum-haired beauty, who looked at him in silence. Allen kissed her on the lips. She had already confessed that she enjoyed watching him sleep. While it might be uncomfortable for others Allen found it adorable.
[Host, I think your head is not working properly]
Allen ignored the system. "Come in."
He looked at the door and opened it with magic while sitting on his bed.
Kimiko entered wearing an apron and carrying a tray with a simple breakfast of cereal and toast.
"Kimiko?"
She couldn't respond, so she approached the bed and placed the tray on a wooden stand.
'I... saw it on the internet,' the girl said telepathically, blushing. Despite her age, she acted like a teenage girl at that moment.
"Thank you."
Allen smiled. He would never show displeasure at such a pure expression of appreciation and affection. Kimiko blushed and nodded awkwardly. The strangest thing is that Kimiko didn't seem to be bothered by the beauty in her underwear next to Allen.
Allen noticed this and looked at 2B. She remained silent, but she might have spoken with Kimiko privately without his knowledge. Allen knew that if he asked, she would answer, but he preferred to enjoy the surprise.
Kimiko didn't stop at just bringing the tray. She pulled up a chair and sat next to Allen, taking a spoon to feed him.
Allen laughed and opened his mouth. Kimiko trembled but managed to complete the task, watching Allen chew. There was a sense of achievement and joy that she hadn't felt before. More animated this time, she continued doing it.
(I admire Allen's willpower 🍷🗿)
...
While Allen enjoyed a life that would make most men sick with envy,
Hughie, Frenchie, MM, and Popclaw took Madelyn and her son to the coast. Crossing borders was dangerous, so Mallory had advised them to do it by sea.
Unbeknownst to Hughie, Frenchie had stolen a boat to transport Mallory. As they set sail, there was a sense of fear. This time, they wouldn't have Butcher and Allen. They were aware that if it was known that Madelyn Stillwell was on this boat, Homelander would arrive in less than a minute.
The boat moved through the water as Hughie called his father.
"Hi, Dad, I'll see you soon."
"Son, I hope you're okay..."
"Don't worry, now even bullets don't hurt me. Hehe."
"Hughie..."
"I'm sorry, I'll be careful."
Hughie ended the call as the waves hit the boat. MM was talking with Mallory, and Frenchie was on deck with Charlotte.
Hughie couldn't shake the bad feeling as he looked at the sea. He shook his head, thinking he was being paranoid. However, Hughie didn't realize how right he was.
The calm sea began to stir, the fish stocks started to panic, and a large amount of bloodlust entered the sea.
Hughie approached MM and indicated that he was going to check on Madelyn. When he went down, he found her cradling her son Teddy. It was hard to think that this woman had been the boss of the bad guys for so long. However, the past doesn't disappear, and Hughie knows she has done many bad things. It might be impossible for her to avoid jail, even with all the information she could provide to the CIA.
"Hugh Campbell..."
"Soon we'll reach the meeting point, and they'll take you to a safe place."
"You don't need to hide that you still hold a grudge against me."
Hughie smirked, "Of course, how could I not? You know all the things your creations have done, You and all of Vought are horrible!."
Madelyn listened silently, not daring to argue or justify anything. Hughie was completely right but Hughie wasn't someone who liked to berate others, especially if they didn't defend themselves, so he soon stopped talking.
"I'm sorry..." said Madelyn as Hughie stopped. Hughie sighed in frustration...
Just as he was about to leave, the boat was struck by something. Hughie fell to the floor, and soon the water started to pour in.
He heard Madelyn scream and went to check. There was a hole, and water was starting to flood in. Hughie didn't say anything and helped Madelyn to escape.
MM cursed as he shot at the sea. Many sharks were surrounding them.
"It must be Deep!" shouted Popclaw. "I saw him do this once!"
Frenchie took the wheel and started steering towards the shore. They couldn't stay in the water.

A/N: Poor Deep of the few times they let him use his powers and it doesn't look like it's going to be good for him, now that The Boys have superpowers too.
