"Really?"
"Yeah. He said I said no he would go find Ariana Grande or Nicki Manaj, but didn't know their names." She continues.
"Oh my."
Stillwell then hit mute and glared at Homelander.
The Seven just chuckled. "So what. He talks to a Kardashian, big whoop." He shrugs off not impressed.
"She likes him." Stillwell points out. "She and her family have a huge fan base, so now he has a huge fan base. Especially since an hour after fighting you, a big bug called Stinkfly saved a window washer."
"Then after that a little grey frog calling himself Grey Matter snuck in court, and brought a file showing some obscure law that stopped the closing of a community center."
"So?" Homelander questions, not seeing the problem.
"The window washer was ours and is suing us for endangerment. That community center was being shut down by the city, but we were gonna show up and save it."
"But now it has 90 more days where they don't even need to pay for bills, which means delays on the Vought brand Community center." Madelyn clarified.
"Offer the guy 5 figures to drop it and and just wait the 90 days." Homelander said, seeing the solutions easily.
"Does your idiot brain get by on stupid?" Stillwell asked, and before he can reply the VP continues.
"The bug told him only settle if we agree to replace the equipment with brand new ones. And we already signed the contract for the construction, but now we have to pay for the extra 90 of nothing which thanks to Harvey Specter we can't get out of." She tells him.
"It can't cost that much right?" The Deep asks. Being the first of the other members to interject.
"So glad you asked." Stilwell replied, feeling cheery. "Because since capturing him was your responsibility any damages Vought has to pay for from now on is coming out your paychecks. Starting now."
"What!" "Bullshit!" "Fucking kidding me!" Soon erupted, all with upset tones. Noir just shook his head and counted his blessing that it didn't start before his previous mission.
"Now hold on!" Homelander called out and they all turned to him. He then got up and began walked around the table.
"Look I underestimated him. That's on me and I'm sorry." Pause. "And to show how sorry I am, I will personally pay for the damages."
"You're serious?" Stillwell questioned, honestly expecting that.
"Get it writing if you need. But until we catch him, just take out however many Benjamin's, Jackson's and Washington's you need from me." He assured her.
"Me too." Deep calls out.
Homelander turns to him with a smile. "Thanks Deep." Goes back to Madelyn. "Deep and I will cover the damages."
"Alright. I'll tell the board." Stillwell accepts. "But you better fix this quickly. And Edgar wants him alive."
"So do I." Homelander agrees. Though it was unclear if he was being honest or not.

Ben's Apartment
Ben walked in with a takeout bag from an establishment called 'Shake Shack' while whistling a tune.
Despite nearly getting his butt kick by Homelander today had been productive.
About an hour after he ditched that heated dude he saved a window washer as Stinkfly and a community center as Grey Matter.
Then after letting the Omnitrix recharge he went XLR8 and helped people around the city. Now though he was hungry and tired.
"Evening shifty." A cheerful, but familiar, British voice called out.
"What the!" Ben jumped throwing his bag in the air and watching it fall and spill on the ground.
"Aw man. That cost me like 25 bucks." He whined, more upset at the waste of food.
"Sorry bout that mate. Be happy to buy you a new one." The Brit offers with a smile.
"How'd you find me?" Ben asks.
"Let's just say the initials are G, P and S." (A/N spoiler for anyone who can guess the reference) The intruder replies, holding up his phone.
Ben then checked himself and found some small tracker in one of his extra pockets.
"Thanks by the way for landing where ya did when you were that sunburnt four armed piece of shite." He tells him. "Wasn't sure you would need an escape, let alone that specific one."
He get's up, walks over and holds out a badge. "Name's Billy Butcher. FBI." He introduces himself finally.
Ben goes to reach for it but he pulls it back. "Keep your grubby hands to yourself mate. Who knows when the last time you washed your hands." Butcher told him.
Ben shrugged and introduced himself. "Ben Tennyson."
"Now let's have us a chat shall we." He requested then holds out his hand to signal Ben not to touch the watch.
"Now before you tinker with your fancy time piece you should know that I know that you haven't been the Road Runner in at least an hour." Points to the dropped food.
"It took you 17 minutes and 44 seconds to walk here, plus the additional 3 minutes and 57 seconds to walk there from when you stopped being a supe. Let's not forget the wait time." He adds.
"So ya see." Butcher resumes. "It's plain as day that you either can only be a supe for a certain amount of time or when you go back to being your puny self you need to let that cool down before you can turn it back on." The look on Ben's face tell's him he's right.
"You're buying." Ben answers, knowing this guy wasn't gonna stop coming at him.
He just needed to keep him busy at least until the Omnitrix recharged. Plus who know's what he say's might interest him.

Shake Shack
At a table Ben and Butcher are waiting for their order. After the 10 year old agreed to the meeting he made it clear he was only talking if he was getting food.
What followed was nearly 35 minutes of awkward silence, except for when they ordered the food. When their device buzzed, signaling the food was ready, they went up.
"Here you are. 2 burgers, order of fries, extra of our shack sauce, a black and white milkshake and a water." A cheerful employee in her late teens, early twenties, said while placing the food by them. "Anything else?"
"Yeah. A less hungry kid to feed." Butcher replied with a phony smile to match her honest one. She giggled politely before telling them to enjoy their food.
