  Summary

  starts at the end of 05.05 (also a s5 rewrite sorta, stuff changes)

  “I love you. We all need love, don’t we? Even “God”…?”
  That stinged to Homelander, the proof is felt in the hint of tears forming in his eyes, and that’s why he had to do it.

  …Except that, instead of killing her, Homelander decides to leave Firecracker to herself.
