At that.
Susan's expression immediately grew solemn.
As the CIA's deputy director, she naturally knew what Homelander had done, but sometimes they still had no choice but to clean up Vought's messes.
Because that was Homelander.
"Are you scared?" (Butcher)
"I was scared shitless, and you should be too." (Susan)
The two lines above were their original dialogue from the show.
When Butcher obtained Compound V and demanded that Susan mobilize the CIA's forces to deal with Homelander, Susan rejected him on the spot.
Just as Susan had said, "This is undoubtedly suicide."
In the The Boys TV universe without William's intervention, the US military was utterly helpless against Homelander.
Nuclear weapons?
Whether nuclear weapons could even penetrate Homelander's body was still a question. Besides, with Homelander's abilities, he could escape the instant the bomb detonated.
In other words, humanity's strongest weapon was completely insignificant before Homelander. That was why the CIA behind Susan, along with the US Government and military, was so wary of Vought.

"Director Rayner, the person behind me is different from those Super Trash from Vought Company. His real name is Heros."
"Heros?" Susan frowned. "Am I supposed to know that name?"
"With the capabilities of your CIA, you still haven't figured out who Heros is? I'll leave it at that. Come find us after you've figured out the significance of the name Heros."
With that, William left the CIA building with Serena, his grandson, and his granddaughter-in-law, escorted by the Ghost Agents.

"...No."
"It sounds somewhat familiar."
"I do know Horus from Egypt."
