Warning ⚠️: Long chapter and Homelander's big speech at the end.

❄️

Today is Homelander's birthday, as where it's the day that everyone in the world had to celebrate Homelander of his day.

Imogen decided to sleep at Kandice's apartment because of how it was getting late and how Kandice is a good person that Imogen can hang out.

As long as Homelander is not around her to talk about their relationship.

As of right now, Imogen is making a cake for the "love" of her life as Kandice is watching her, with a glass of orange juice in hand.

The ice supe uses her powers to make the small figures of Homelander and herself on the cake. The first is Homelander and Frostbite standing next to each other.

"No." Imogen muttered to herself.

The next ice sculpture is Homelander and Imogen at the red carpet.

"Not the best." Imogen muttered again.

The third is Homelander and Imogen, where Homelander saves her from Stormfront.

"That's too much." Imogen gasped.

The fourth is Homelander and Imogen in their superhero position.

Imogen groans to herself in stress of when it comes to the style for the cake.

"Imogen, calm yourself down. It's just a cake. If the cake decorating is too much, why not just give your boyfriend a heart-shaped cake?" Kandice asked.

Imogen shakes her head, "No, it will literally just make him mad and how they are the worst kind of cakes at stores, that makes any baker a breakdown."

Kandice gave a glass of juice to Imogen, "Imogen, I know it's tough of when it comes to any partner you have and how mean they can be to anyone."

Imogen completed understanding of what Kandice talks about as Kandice put the cake away in her fridge and turned back at the ice supe.

"How about this? Maybe we can go to a fair that is happening today. Maybe that will clear your mind." Kandice asked.

Imogen nodded, "Sure, why not."

Kandice smiled.

❄️

Imogen is at the stage, as everyone is getting ready for the big day.

It's no suprise of how Stan did tell Imogen how that even tho Vought is replacing her, they still need Imogen for promotion, but mostly that is involved Homelander.

Imogen, dress as Frostbite, complete doing her hair and walks to meet Homelander, but accidently bump into someone, who drop their water bottle, while Imogen drop her makeup bag.

"Oh shit, I'm sorry." The person said as they picked up Imogen's makeup bag and gave it to Imogen.

"It's okay, it's okay, thank you, I'm sorry." Imogen said to the person.

"It's okay." The person said, but look at Imogen, in suprise.

"Wait a minute, are you Frostbite?" The person said, which makes Imogen in suprise.

"Yes?" Imogen asked, in confusion.

"Oh my god." The person said in a little excited way, but calm down at the same time. "I'm a big fan of you."

Imogen eyes went wide.

"Really?" Imogen asked the person.

"Yes, sorry I just excited, but I think you are a pretty cool superhero on the seven. I'm Supersonic." Supersonic said as he and Imogen shook hands.

Imogen smiled and was a little surprised that Supersonic is a bigger fan of her, but as Frostbite. At where Supersonic is a bit "nicer" to her than Homelander.

Annie comes here and says, "Frostbite?, what are you doing here?"

"Wait, you know her?" Supersonic asked Annie.

Annie decided to call Imogen by her supe name, just in case anyone doesn't know her in the public eye.

"Yes, we know each other, although I was unfortunately quit the team for personal reason." Imogen answered to Supersonic.

Supersonic is starting to feel bad for Imogen after the ice supe answered, "Oh, I'm so sorry."

"No worries, it's fine." Imogen muttered.

Unknown to the three supes, Homelander is watching the three, but mostly between Imogen and Supersonic. Homelander tries his best to not the get mad at the new supe, but quickly calms down and comes to the group.

"Hello, Frostbite, you are here just in time." Homelander smiled.

Supersonic looks up at Homelander and says, "Sir, happy birthday. I'm -"

Homelander cut Supersonic off, "Supersonic, right?"

"Yes." Supersonic answered.

"That's great to hear." Homelander smiled and looked at Imogen.

"Frostbite, honey, can I talk to you to the other side?" Homelander asked Imogen.

Imogen has no idea what to say about this and says, "Yes."

Annie can see the worry look on Imogen's face as Imogen and Homelander leave the stage.

While walking to the hallway, Homelander looked around the room a bit as where no one was here and pushed Imogen to the wall.

Imogen groans when the wall hits her in the back.

"What the fuck are you doing, Imogen?" Homelander growled as he looked at the ice supe, darkly.

Imogen looks up at Homelander and says, "I was just meeting him, that's it."

Homelander is not approved when he sees Imogen meeting Supersonic and says, "You are breaking up with me, on my fucking birthday?"

"No!, I'm not, I'm not, I was just meeting people." Imogen said to Homelander.

Homelander narrowed his eyes but decided to let Imogen go.

"Don't do that again." Homelander growled and leaves to go back to the stage.

Imogen doesn't want to break up with Homelander, yet thinking their relationship is not gonna work.

❄️

M.M. goes to his bedroom and looks at the files that talk about the supes that he had in the past, Soldier Boy.

It's no suprise that Billy came to his place when M.M's daughter is here, but thankfully, give her a box of legos to play with, but also want to talk to M.M. about another supe team, 'Payback.'

M.M. have hundreds of newspaper clippings of soldier Boy and his story, alongside another Payback teammate, Screamer.

That is where M.M. starting to think why Soldier Boy and Screamer is similar to Homelander and Frostbite.

But he can't put his finger on it...yet.

❄️

After having to deal with Homelander, Kandice and Imogen decided to go to the park and were excited to do what to do first.

Imogen looks around a bit, excited that the park is actually really perfect after her troubled relationship.

"Maybe we should go there first." Imogen asked Kandice.

Kandice looks and sees an old theater as where it's now starting a show, that's features a supe, named, 'Crimson Countess."

The name started to trigger Kandice as she started to have flashbacks of supe, but Imogen looked at her new friend and said, "Are you okay?, we can get out of here."

Kandice quickly snaps out of it and says, "No, no, I'm fine."

Imogen nodded as the two went inside side the theater and waited for a bit, unknown that Frenchie and Kimiko were here too, but in different seats.

Before the show starts, it begins with a little clip of the story of Soldier Boy.

Kandice can't handle this but decides to sneak to Crimson Countess and decides to have a talk with her.

🖤

Crimson Countess is getting ready for the show as she puts on her red lipstick as she hears the door knock.

"Busy right now, please leave." Crimson shouted.

The door was open to see that Kandice was at the door, Crimson said, "Oh, Kandice, it's been a while."

"Don't say it like that, I know of what happened." The blonde supe glared at Crimson.

"Kandice, it's for our own good. Don't remind me of what happened. It's over." Crimson said as she stood up and started her cue, but Kandice stopped her.

"Is it because that you are jealous of me, that's why you been hated me, ever since 1984?" Kandice asked.

Crimson didn't say anything and started to leave.

Kandice used her scream powers at Crimson, who was thrown across the room.

Crimson falls to the floor and glares at the Blonde supe.

"You bitch." Crimson growled and use her powers to make a fireball at Kandice, in which Kandice move and hide from it as Crimson leaves the theater.

Kandice follows behind her, hoping to stop her.

❄️

Imogen, Frenchie, and Kimiko look up to see Kandice and Crimson running out of the theater and leaves to know what is going on.

Kandice uses her scream again, which makes everyone in the fair to cover their ears from her scream.

Crimson tried to use her fireball again at the Blonde supe, but Kandice ducks from it, in which the mascot to blow up.

Everyone quickly leaves the fair from the chaos, including Frenchie and Kimiko, who have no idea what is going on and why a blonde supe is attacking Crimson Countess.

Imogen quickly grabbed Kandice, but Kandice tried to stop her and turn around, only to see that Crimson Countess was gone.

❄️

After the terrible event, Kandice and Imogen go back to Kandice's apartment and put on their different outfits due to their old ones being covered in blood.

"Kandice, what the fuck happened over there?" Imogen asked.

Kandice rolled her eyes.

"Kandice, come one." Imogen said as Kandice put the tv on and put on the news.

"It's was nothing Imogen, it was nothing." Kandice said to the ice supe.

"Kandice, it was NOT nothing. Who was that lady, and why are you chasing her?" Imogen asked Kandice.

Kandice was about to answer until they two supes heard the news to see that Stormfront had passed away.

Imogen was shocked by this, but how she thought that Stormfront died at the forest, but that is until now.

"The good news is that the bitch is dead." Kandice joke a little.

Imogen gets a call from Homelander of where Imogen is and gets ready for his big birthday.

"Sorry, I got to go." Imogen said to Kandice as the ice supe get the cake and leaves the apartment.

Kandice signs that's her day is bad, but mostly of how her pasting starts to catch up to her.

❄️

Supersonic is finishing up his performance for the audience's. As Homelander, Imogen, and Annie are waiting for their cue.

Homelander was waiting, but also glaring at between the stage and Imogen.

After Supersonic finished doing his performance, A-Train came to the stage and called Homelander and Annie to be on the stage.

Imogen is a little nervous about what is gonna happen, as where she is hoping it's just say happy birthday and that's it.

That is where Imogen heard someone shout about Stormfront, which makes her worry even worse, but when Homelander is around.

⭐️

Homelander has so many emotions in him as he decides to take a stage and cut Annie off.

"Starlight lied to you just now. She did. I don't make any mistakes. I'm not "just like the rest of you." I'm stronger, I'm smarter. I'm better." Homelander said to the crowd.

"I'M AM BETTER!!!"

❄️

Imogen has no idea what to say about this, but she decides to continue what Homelander said backstage.

⭐️

"I'm not some weak-kneed fucking crybaby that goes around fucking apologizing all the time, and why the fuck would you want me to be!?" Homelander continues.

Ashley tried to stop all this, but Homelander wanted the cameras rolling.

"All my life, people have tried to control me. My whole life, my Frostbite, rich people, and powerful people have tried to muzzle me, cancel me, keep me impotent like I'm a fucking puppet. You know what? It worked because I allowed it to work, and guess what? If they control me, then you can bet they can control you. They already do, you just don't realize it." Homelander said.

It makes everyone shocked of what Homelander truly is to everyone and not the kind Superhero they people thought he is until now.

"I'm done, I am done apologizing. I am done being persecuted for my strength. You people think that I am!, who I'm am!!! You need me to save you. You do. I'm am the only one who possibly can." Homelander said to everyone.

"You're not the real heroes. I'm the real hero. I'm the real hero."

❄️

After the terrible party, Homelander and Imogen go back to cabin, as where Homelander is still upset of all this and how everything "treated" him this way.

Imogen decided to get the cake that Homelander wants and get slice for him.

"I'm sorry of what happened, but I hope this one makes you better." Imogen said to Homelander.

Homelander looks at the cake for a minute and says, "Thank you, honey, it does make me happy."

Imogen smiled as the two decades to have cake together throughout the night, as where Imogen giggle a bit as Homelander have blue frosting on his top of nose.

Homelander comes close to the ice supe and kisses her.

Even though Homelander is not the best to everyone, Imogen has no idea of everything of what he said, if it's all true or not.
