"The first naturally born Supe in the world..."
Ron narrowed his eyes.
That was the first thing Storm had said to him.
Was that why Storm had abandoned Homelander and come looking for him?
Following that line of reasoning... did Vought have something specifically designed to counter Supes created by Compound V?
But in the original storyline, Storm had not seemed especially eager to build a good relationship with Ryan.
Because Ryan was still young?
But waiting a few more years would have been enough. For a century-old faction that had been suppressed for decades, and for Storm, who had lived several centuries, that was not particularly long.
"Or perhaps it was important, but not that important?"
Having deduced several key pieces of information in just a few seconds, he mused to himself.
"Ron, what did that woman mean by the first naturally born Supe?"
Starlight suddenly looked up and asked with a frown.
"That woman?"
Just moments ago, she had been the only one applauding to welcome Storm. Now, she was calling her that woman.
It was because she had just noticed Storm subtly trying to seduce Ron. Storm, who was quite open herself, had not bothered to hide it at all.
"As a superhero, have you never wondered why there have never been any Supes who committed evil?"
Walking down an empty hallway, Ron glanced sideways at her and asked.
"Uh... because they were chosen by God?"
Starlight had grown up in a religious family. Blinking, she tried to answer with the mainstream explanation she had heard in church.
"Did you forget Ezekiel, the superhero your believers hold up as a representative, hugging and kissing two men in that club?"
He raised a brow, speechless.
The Bible clearly stated that homosexuality was a sin, something detestable and shameful.
