Chapter 23
Previous ChapterNext Chapter!
Looking out of the window of the office watching as the snow fell, Becky was deep in thought about the past year. The failed takeover of the country and the reveal of what the superheroes are really like, behind closed doors has broken the faith people had in superheroes. All because of Black Noir wanting to go and fulfill his mission to kill Homelander if he ever went bad. Homelander was always a smug jerk but he only went full villain because of Black Noir wanting gas lighting him into thinking he already had.
The whole superhero industry that Vought-American is known for is now in ruins. With most of the heroes dead, arrested or lost their powers after Discord used the magic bell to drain them of their powers. Has left the supers who weren’t in Washington, numbers very depleted. The Deep being in Los Vegas, is the only big name left that is still under contact with the company. Which is now having to deal with tons of legal problems that they use to pay off or hide away.
Sunset having enough of the company went and cut all ties with the company, and as she is the head of her own country there wasn’t anything the company could do about it. Seeing how they’re already dealing with their stocks falling, secrets being revealed of what they been doing and other crimes. Compound V is now ban, seeing how it’s completely random in what happens with only after spending millions to billions that you would get the results you want.
Becky had all the Superdupers stop dressing up as superheroes and are now dressed up as adventurers instead. With Canterlot Estates already being a magical theme park, it was a simple change to go fantasy instead of superheroes. The team were already fazing out their superhero costumes for fantasy adventures, magic users and knights, after the opening of the gateway to Equestria was built. The Superdupers are the only team that the public still trust, largely thanks to being Sunset’s team.
Sunset had explained the reason why so many supers are like they are, it’s because of how the company treated them. Hiding away whatever crimes they committed and such, like how they’re protected John Godolkin and the G-Men for years and allowed him to form more groups of G-Men so he could have sex with more children. The Superdupers on the other hand, weren’t of any real interest to the company and why they’re the only ones that Sunset would agree to form a team with. They all just grew on her as they’re the only supers in a small handful that weren’t people that Sunset didn’t mind working with.
Superheroes are out and fantasy is in, thanks to how everyone knows that magic is real now. The gateway that was destroyed by Homelander has been rebuilt, thanks to Sunset having Discord make another anchor point like the statue of the first gateway. Built on the site of the old one, with Sunset getting good PR by helping the survivors and help with the injuries, by allowing the ones who needed help to have magical healing in Equestria.
Becky walks back to her desk that use to be Sunset’s and looks at the latest workload on her computer. The Equestrian brand is still doing well, being the company that has the first dibs on products from Equestria. Magic products are big sellers, which is why her mail box on her computer and in real life, has letters from Vought-American trying to get her to get their services again. Which she like Sunset doesn’t want anything to do with them anymore. Which is the reason why their stocks have fallen down to almost nothing, with the company pulling out all the tricks they have left to stop from going under.
Becky pulls out the notepad in the desk and wrote down her findings. The notepad links to the one that Sunset has in Equestria, allowing them to communicate very easy. And thanks to the office having a small fireplace the papers can easily be taken cared of.
“Supers gone and company is going under and people are already jumping ship. Stillwell has laid all blame on what happened on Regina Dentata. He had set her up as his scrap goat. Those government guys who you worked with are gone, all dead but for one, the Scottish one. Don’t know what had happen yet but said that will be told later. V is now outlawed,” Becky said writing down it all on the pad. (1)
She waited as words appeared on the pad.
“Thanks for the heads up. Tell the team that I wish them well. The fallout is still being felt as well. Plenty of Equestrians died that day on Earth side, going to attend an event to honor the dead here and on Earth,” Sunset wrote back to Becky.
“The team and I will see you there,” Becky wrote as it’s been awhile since they all been together.
