Note: Timeline wise this takes place about a few months prior to the main thread. Around this time Butcher didn't bring the band back together.
A private funeral was being held for The Seven's beloved Matriarch. The only ones who were able to attend were a few business representatives of Vought and friends of the dearly departed founder of The Seven. The weather matches the gloom atmosphere that the funeral provided as light rain started to pout. The ever dependable Mercy stood beside Alexandra Luthor and holds an umbrella to shield her boss from the rain as she starts to speak.
"Madelyn Stillwell was a headstrong woman and a visionary. When she pitched the concept of The Seven I remember the other Vought Execs expressed doubt regarding the idea. Saying "There's no super team that will match The Avengers or even the ones over in The Far East" and they're ready to scrap the project right then and there. Her response was she's not looking to replace, she's looking to inspire future generations. And with determination and hard work, these fine individuals managed to achieve that" Lex glanced at the members of The Seven who were sitting at the front row.
"To me, she was more than just a visionary. She was someone I_" Lex stopped to collect herself then continued, "I confided in. Inspired me to be the person that I am today, and someone I am proud to call my mentor."
Homelander silently listens to Lex as she makes her eulogy. His expression is like stone but the redness of his eyes indicate his façade is on the verge of cracking. Sitting next to him Natasha Romanov proceeds to rub Homelander's back in a comforting manner.
Just about a good distance away from the funeral, watching the whole scene with binoculars inside a van, Butcher chugged a flask down. There were two things going through his mind right now. One of them is making sure if the **** is actually dead and another is calculating so many ways he might take Cuntlander out as fast as possible.
The Deep breathes in a lung full of air, probably the only one attended preferring to not be protected from the rain. But this isn't the time to bask in one of Gaea's many blessings. He raises his hands and exhales and gradually the rain ceased.
"So Aqua-Twat controls the weather too? Something to take note" Butcher says to himself.

They were hard enough to get through without super reflexes. When a sparse few seconds felt like minutes at a time they were downright agonizing. The only way he could get through them was to concentrate hard and slow down his reflexes so that everything sped up in comparison. He had no idea how Homelander dealt with it on top of the loss of the woman who was like a mother to them. He'd probably be breaking down even worse than he was right now if it wasn't for Nat. Queen Maeve needed a drink. You'd think she'd be okay with the lingering rain but she just felt thirsty. She lowered her umbrella and closed her eyes as she let the last of the rain wash over her. There was a time and a place for drinking and this was not it. Besides, she had to be there for her family right now. Black Noir remained completely still under her umbrella as she listened to the funeral drone on. Unmoved by any of it. The others were unable to see underneath her mask or read her expression as usual. None of them even realized she was the one who mixed those pills into Madelyn's drink to make it look like a natural death and shake things up at work. More importantly it would shake up Homelander and get that ball rolling. She heard Butcher through the downpour but made no moves. He still had his uses. As Lex finished her speeches, Black Noir closed up her umbrella and walked up to Homelander and gently embraced him. |

Is it wrong I consider Noir more frightening than The League of Villains?! And it's without question Lex has had her hand in the whole events as well

You don't know the truth about them till its too late One could make a similar argument about Omni-Man. He just has a better public presence. Though sometimes the Evil can be a bit more obvious.   |

So....Nora I guess(Nifty shout out BTW!) is a female in this?! First of all...Ballsy to call herself Omni-Man. Then again who would object otherwise

I meant for it to be this one: zdgman123sstoryandfi.freeforums.net/thread/646/duel-on-sunton-island  But yeah! Nolan is up in here! We could still include the North Siblings if you would like of course!  |

"You're playing with some intense fire, if you're not careful, it won't just be the flesh that gets scorched"
Butcher looked back to find Damian Darkblood sitting in the passengers seat eating a Big Kahuna Burger. He passed a bag that contained a second one over to Butcher, "Aren't ya supposed to be a vegetarian?"
"Whenever I'm around The Misses" Damian commented just before taking a drink of his soda. "Sure, I could get a veggie burger but it's just not the same"
"Damn straight" Butcher opened the wrapper and took a bite, "You're lucky you're the only Daemon I tolerate. Otherwise I'd send you back to hell for that stealth greeting"
"And you're lucky I'm not the sort of Daemon who'd kill you before you'd see it coming. Anyways, here are the files" Damian hands them over while Butcher does his surveillance. "BTW. I have a magic induced talisman that's able to soundproof this whole van. We are near those who have super hearing after all. If you're serious about this suicide mission I'd suggest be more prepared this time."
Butcher just ignored him as he opened the file that contained Madelyn's autopsy report.
"If there's someone to cross off the list, I don't think Homelander had anything to do with it"
"Judging from how she died, it was too clean and painless, not the cunt's style"

"Judging from how she died, it was too clean and painless, not the cunt's style"  "Lets see now. No external damage, the cause of death was heart failure, they couldn't find anything wrong, this wasn't a murder this was an assassination but who could get through their security without Homelander or the others seeing him? The only people I can think of who'd be able to get into her home that easily would be Natasha, and she would let us know if she had a reason to kill the bitch, or...fuck me was it the Ninja? But why? Did Lutor put her up to it?" " You could be on the right track. I've always been able to smell a sense of bloodlust coming from her but it's difficult to discern who exactly she's directing it towards. The best I can tell you is that she isn't exactly the most loyal member of her team." |

Butcher tapped his chin while he reads through the files, "Part of me would love to have her just wreck the team then I'd pick off whomever's left standing between her and Homelander. Yet that would mean putting Natasha in the crossfire, and I happened to like her. Even if she is a Ruskie"
"Both heartwarming yet still showcase a degree of ignorance. All things considered, it's good that she's there. Helps keep The Flying Brick on a leash at least" Damian noted after he tossed a wrapper that once belonged to his finished burger out the window. "Still, if I were her, I'd have some kind of contingency plan in the event he snaps" "She does, it's Big Green"  Damian glanced at Butcher, "Wait. So they're a thing again now?"Butcher scoffed, "I wish! An improvement on who she's involved with. It's one of those one again and off again yet still on amicable terms with one another situations" He rubs the bridge of his nose, "It's complicated" |

And there's a certain acquittance of mine working on another contingency plan just in case." "And just who would that be?" "Playing this one close to me chest. If something ever happens to me and others this one will have a secret weapon ready to go against Cuntlander." Oh so it was probably The Bat then. Interesting. He would have to investigate this. " I understand you distrust the Homelander but don't you think you're being a little ridiculous about this?" "The Homelander ain't no saint on his best days and we live in a world with Magic and Mind Control." Butcher reminded him. "The others aren't being paranoid enough." |

"And you're a demon on parole from Hell solving cases to keep yourself out of it." "And does that bother you?"
"Don't let it get to you. I don't put complete trust in anyone." "It boggles my mind how you and Cecil aren't closer friends."
"Cecil's a cunt. I'm sure he says the same about me." "He does in fact think you are an enormous if useful asshole."
"Same." "So what is your plan?"
"Continue to study my targets while I look for something that can kill the gimp-cunt besides a railgun. Drop a line to Nat. If she hasn't figured it out yet she will but the sooner we tell her the better. We'll need someone on the inside who can keep an eye on Noir and Lex. We can't tell how far this goes but I wouldn't be surprised if Hydra or some other fuckers are involved." |

"Or worse." Damian balls up the wrapper as he finishes his burger. "Just make sure you have your crew prepared when the inevitable comes"
"Do I look like somebody who'd send some poor fool on a suicide mission"
"Yes" Damian says casually
"Sure. But not my mates. I'd have em be ready to fight Lucifer himself when that time comes"
Black Noir's gaze fixate on the location where her super hearing picked up a conversation regarding them before everything went silent. She has a good idea of its source but that's not her objective at the moment. Besides, she knows Butcher plays into her plans and she needs him alive for that. So all she can do is be there for her comrades at the moment.

Black Noir returned her attention to her team and rubbed Homelander's back and patted it to check on him. |
