The Night the Pregnancy Test Results Were Exposed, People from My Motherland Groveled at My Door Like Dogs. | Black Robe

The night Xingguang's pregnancy test results were exposed, Homelander groveled at my door like a dog. The genetic contract with the city's superhero was locked in my safe. But he didn't know that I had personally switched the reagents that made Xingguang pregnant. The TV screen flickered with static. News of Xingguang's pregnancy popped up like a virus. I turned off the TV, my fingertips tapping on the genetic contract terminal. Homelander's heartbeat was steady. Too steady. So steady it didn't seem like someone who had just become a father. A red shadow flashed past the window. The French windows shattered, and Homelander knelt on one knee, his cloak swirling in shards of glass. He looked up, his eyes bloodshot.
