.....
Stormfront, the new leader of the Seven, has always had a dream: to create a society dominated by superhumans, where all white people would be transformed into superhumans.
Her plan was to exterminate all people of color, establishing a massive empire of superhumans.
However, Vought International didn't want to pursue this, or rather, the board of shareholders led by Edgar didn't.
Because it simply made no sense.
The resources on Earth are finite. Even if they ruled the world, resources would remain limited, and the upheaval caused by such a regime change would plunge the world into chaos.
And that chaos would harm Vought's profits. Even if they succeeded in overthrowing every government and creating a new state, the losses incurred during that transition wouldn't be recovered anytime soon.
Moreover, the whole idea lacked any purpose.
As long as there remained a clear distinction between ordinary humans and superhumans, Vought could extract maximum profit.
If everyone became a superhuman, Vought would have to spend enormous sums developing new drugs for these superhumans, and their entertainment division, which revolved around superhero branding, would take a massive hit.
Therefore, Vought did not support Stormfront's vision and kept her sidelined until now.
However, Stormfront wasn't content to let her ideas go. She secretly built her own faction, using Compound V to create new superhumans.
Lamp Lighter, who recently rejoined the Seven, had been one of Stormfront's followers, tasked with overseeing the new superhumans created through Compound V experiments. He had done so until recently when Homelander defected, taking several heroes with him. After that, Lamp Lighter's role ended, and he returned to the Seven.
Vought was aware of Stormfront's activities but chose to turn a blind eye due to her strength and status, quietly obstructing her efforts in the background.
Originally, this hidden conflict could have continued indefinitely, with one side eventually prevailing.
But now, with Roger's arrival and the appearance of an alien spaceship, both sides have found themselves on the same page.
Edgar, although still opposed to Stormfront's ideology, realized that under the current circumstances, he had no choice but to cooperate.
If they didn't retaliate, Vought would eventually be divided and devoured by the government, and all that Vought had built would be destroyed.
Thus, Edgar and Stormfront formed an alliance. Edgar would handle the politicians in Congress, while Stormfront… would go to the White House and kidnap the President.
"Fire! Fire!!"
Tat-tat-tat,
At the outer perimeter of the White House, Stormfront, Shockwave, and Black Noir were advancing head-on, breaking through the defenses. Lamp Lighter stood at a distance, holding his flaming staff, accompanied by The Deep, uncertain whether to join the fray.
The events of the past few days had happened too fast, and they were far too surreal.
No one could have predicted that the once prestigious and world-famous Seven would fall to this state, let alone that Stormfront would make such a drastic and insane decision.
Attacking the White House and kidnapping the President… this was not just a crime; it was the gravest of crimes!
Lamp Lighter and The Deep hadn't thought much about this; they simply wanted to be part of the Seven, to enjoy more fame and make more money. They hadn't signed up to become criminals alongside Stormfront.
But now that they were here, there didn't seem to be any way to back out.
Stormfront led the charge, with the soldiers guarding the White House firing a torrent of bullets at her.
The stream of bullets hit her but were all deflected without leaving so much as a scratch.
In the next moment, blinding lightning surged across the battlefield, filling the area and blasting the soldiers into the air. In the blink of an eye, every soldier surrounding them had been electrocuted and turned to charred remains!
"What are you waiting for?"
After dealing with the soldiers, Stormfront turned to Shockwave.
Shockwave hesitated as he looked at the scene before him, but when his gaze met Stormfront's cold eyes, all his doubts disappeared.
Swallowing hard, he vanished from his spot and charged into the White House!
Within seconds, he had found the President and his cabinet, who were trying to flee to an underground bunker.
In a world where time seemed to stop, Shockwave clenched his fists and swiftly dismantled the President's security, dragging him out from underground.
In less than a minute, the President of the United States, seated within the White House, became a prisoner of Stormfront and her crew.
The blonde-haired President, disoriented after being captured, was horrified by the sight of the charred bodies strewn across the ground and promptly vomited.
Stormfront approached the President, grabbed his hair, and with a smile, said:
"Mr. President, you are now our prisoner."
"...."
The President shaking, seemingly wanting to berate this group of rebels, but no words came out.
The army he once prided himself on had been no match for the superhumans, as fragile as paper. Now, he himself had become their captive. What right did he have to lecture these superhumans?
Despair etched across his face, the President slumped as Stormfront held him.
Seeing this, Stormfront waved over Lamp Lighter and The Deep, who instantly understood and brought out a drone camera they had prepared beforehand. They set it up and began filming.
As soon as the camera started recording and broadcasting the footage, Stormfront flashed a formulaic smile and waved at the lens, saying:
"Hi, everyone. Good afternoon. I'm Stormfront."
...
At the Super Entertainment base, Roger was lying in a room watching Thor play video games when Natasha knocked on the door and said to them both:
"Guys, break time's over. There's trouble."
"Hm?"
Roger, having just taken a sip of soda, looked at Natasha's serious expression and knew immediately that something big had happened.
He glanced at Thor, who was too absorbed in his game to notice anything else, and stood up to ask:
"What's going on?"
"We just got word that Stormfront attacked the White House. The President and his cabinet are now her prisoners."
Natasha didn't bother trying to get Thor's attention, instead explaining the situation to Roger as she led him to the conference room.
The large screen in the conference room was playing news footage of Stormfront's assault and the kidnapping of the President, along with her speech.
Stormfront was addressing the entire human race, calling on all superhumans to rise up and demanding that every white person be injected with Compound V to become a new superhuman.
Her intent was clear: she wanted to turn the world into a superhuman society and exterminate all people of color, leaving only white people behind.
With her past exposed, Stormfront was no longer hiding who she truly was.
So what if she had been a Nazi? So what if she was a racist? With her immense power, she could ignore the criticisms of the lower classes and do whatever she wanted!
"What do we do? Should we deploy?"
Natasha asked Roger.
If this were the Avengers, they'd already be mobilized for a rescue mission.
But she knew this wasn't her world; it was Roger's. So she deferred to him.
"Of course."
Roger answered without hesitation:
"If the President and his cabinet die, it'll be a huge mess."
"Alright, I'll gather the team, "
"No need."
Stopping Natasha from heading out to gather the others, Roger gazed at the screen showing Stormfront and said softly:
"I'll go alone."
But before he left, Roger turned to Natasha and added:
"Still, tell Thor to be ready to go at a moment's notice… and the others, too."
