Homelander: New Legacy

.....

Kimiko’s younger brother is named Kenji. Like many others, he gained his superpower after injecting Compound V as an adult. His ability is telekinesis, which he controls by making corresponding hand gestures to manipulate objects. 

If he lifts his hands, objects rise; if he pulls his hands, objects are drawn toward him. However, no matter what he does, he must use his hands for it to work. 

It appears that his ability has significant limitations. It’s unclear whether this is the full extent of his power or if his abilities are simply underdeveloped.

Kenji attempted to crush Stormfront by using telekinesis to pull the walls inward, but it was in vain. Stormfront’s physical strength was far superior; she was among the elite of all superhumans in terms of durability. 

The collapsing walls didn’t harm her, and she quickly unleashed her own powers, emerging from the rubble and flying straight toward Kenji, who had yet to react.

There was a hint of malice in Stormfront’s eyes. Her intent was clear: she was targeting Kenji’s hands. She noticed that he used them to activate his abilities, so she decided to break them, rendering him powerless.

Just as Stormfront was about to strike, Wolf Girl’s silhouette dropped down from a nearby building, her feet slamming hard onto Stormfront’s back.

*BAM!!*

Stormfront was smashed into the ground, the rubble exploding around her. The concrete and debris scattered in all directions, creating a thick cloud of dust that swallowed both Kimiko and Stormfront.

“Kimiko!!” 

Starlight, who had arrived late to the scene, shouted in concern toward the dust cloud.

Moments later, Kimiko’s figure shot out of the smoke like a cannonball. Electricity crackled from her body, connected to Stormfront’s hand like an electric thread, propelling Kimiko away.

“You're playing with fire!”

Without the interference of cameras, Stormfront no longer concealed her true nature. Her attacks on Kimiko were merciless. The electricity she controlled attracted nearby metal, forming a giant flail-like weapon that she hurled at Kimiko in mid-air.

*BOOM!!*

Kimiko’s body was sent crashing into a nearby brick building, smashing through the walls. Inside, an ordinary family screamed in terror.

“Ahhhhh!!!”

The piercing screams filled the air as Wolf Girl slowly emerged from the rubble, her wounds beginning to heal. She glanced at the terrified civilians and gestured for them to run.

However, instead of panicking, the group, seeing that it was Wolf Girl, excitedly pulled out their phones and started taking pictures of her.

“It’s Wolf Girl From the Super League!”

“Is that Stormfront from The Seven out there?!”

“Are they chasing a criminal?”

The young group seemed more exhilarated than scared. This frustrated Wolf Girl, as they were in great danger, despite not being Black, they were still Latino, and Stormfront had a clear agenda against minorities.

Without drone cameras around, they were in serious peril, yet they refused to leave. Out of options, Wolf Girl stood up, grabbed two bricks from the ground, and hurled them at Stormfront.

Seeing Wolf Girl emerge from the debris, Stormfront didn’t dodge. She let the bricks hit her before grabbing Wolf Girl by her collar and slamming her against another wall.

This time, the wall didn’t collapse due to the cushioning of a dumpster, though it left a crater. 

Wolf Girl, just regaining her strength, was disoriented from the impact, but Stormfront wasn’t done. She approached, grabbed Wolf Girl by the neck, and lifted her off the ground.

“It looks like you care about that super-criminal, huh? Want to protect him? Fine, you can die in his place!”

Stormfront was about to twist Kimiko’s neck when Starlight’s voice cut through the air:

“Kimiko, close your eyes!”

Without hesitation, Kimiko shut her eyes, while Stormfront instinctively looked in the direction of the voice. 

In the next moment, a blinding flash of white light filled Stormfront’s vision, the energy from the light striking her and sending her flying backward, skidding across the ground before coming to a stop.

“Kimiko, go after him! I’ll handle Stormfront!”

Starlight, who had arrived just in time, called out to Kimiko. 

Kimiko glanced at Stormfront, who was starting to rise from the ground, unsure, but Starlight insisted:

“Hurry! You don’t want him to get killed, do you?”

‘I understand. Thank you!’

Kimiko quickly responded, leaping across the walls as she chased after Kenji, who had already fled far away.

Stormfront, meanwhile, stood up, her face twisted in anger. Electricity crackled erratically around her, her eyes full of murderous intent as she glared at Starlight.

“None of you are getting out of here today!”

Just as Starlight was preparing to respond, Kimiko’s body suddenly came flying back as if she had crashed into something. 

“Kimiko!!”

Starlight rushed to catch her, then looked ahead. Standing beside Stormfront was a white man wearing goggles and a combat jacket. His hero suit was dark red, with a lightning bolt insignia in the center.

It was Shockwave, the speedster who had replaced A-Train in The Seven.

The sight of Shockwave made both Starlight and Kimiko tense. 

While they weren’t too worried about Stormfront on her own, they could hold their ground against her, adding Shockwave to the mix made the situation much more dangerous.

Shockwave’s super speed was a nightmare for most superhumans. Very few could react to his speed. Now that he was here to assist Stormfront, Starlight felt a sinking dread that today might be their last.

“Is Maeve not here yet...?”

It had been five minutes since she’d sent a message to Maeve. Though Maeve didn’t have flight or super speed, she should’ve arrived by now if she was hurrying. Still, even if Maeve were here, fighting both Stormfront and Shockwave would be tough. 

Unless... Homelander was here. But, unfortunately, Homelander had been missing for a long time.

“Stormfront, that super-criminal got away. Should we go after him?” 

Shockwave asked, having come to support her.

A smirk appeared on Stormfront’s face as she looked at Starlight and Kimiko standing before her.

“No. Let’s deal with them while there are no cameras around.”

“What?” 

Shockwave was confused. “But they... they’re...”

Before he could finish saying “heroes,” Stormfront cut him off:

“I said, we’ll deal with them here. Didn’t you understand?”

Stormfront’s oppressive aura silenced Shockwave. Resigned, he prepared to comply, adopting a running stance beside Stormfront.

Seeing this, Starlight quickly interjected:

“Stormfront, think about what you’re doing. If something happens to us here, Homelander won’t let you get away with it!”

Stormfront laughed mockingly.

“Don’t try to trick me. Homelander’s been gone for a while now, ever since he split off to form his so-called Super League!”

Starlight was about to argue, but something in Stormfront’s furious expression gave her pause. An idea struck her, and she hesitantly asked:

“...Wait, are you implying that you think Homelander’s disappearance is connected to the Super League? Are you suspecting us?”

“It’s all your doing! You bitches!” 

As if touched on a sore spot, Stormfront erupted in rage, launching a lightning attack at Starlight and Kimiko.

Starlight was baffled. Why would Stormfront be so obsessed with Homelander? He wasn’t even relevant to her when he was around, and Stormfront only rose to power after he disappeared. Why did she care so much?

She shook her head, pushing the thoughts away as she focused on the incoming attack. But just as she prepared to block it, a dark figure suddenly appeared in front of her, shielding her from Stormfront’s attack.

At the same time, a voice, familiar and energizing, rang in her ears.

“Disappeared? I haven’t disappeared; I’ve just been taking care of some things elsewhere.”

Starlight’s eyes widened, and she gasped in shock, recognizing the towering figure in front of her. Her voice trembled with excitement:

“Homelander!”

Roger, who had flown in with a drone camera, smiled for the camera before turning to face Starlight. With that same smile, he said:

“Sorry to keep you waiting. I’m back.”
