It was a red and blue figure.
That's right, it's Homelander himself.
He was facing away from the door, with his hands behind his back, as if admiring his own statue.
Pietro's heart suddenly stopped.
"Calm down, Pietro, calm down." He said to himself in his mind, "He doesn't know. No one knows."
"Just be natural, say hello, and leave."
Pietro forced out a smile and prepared to shout "Captain Homelander".
But at this moment, a biological instinctive fear seized his heart.
Can't say hello.
Can't get close.
run.
Must run.
Pietro trusts his intuition, which saved him countless times in Sokovia.
He didn't speak, but pretended not to notice. He tiptoed and his body instantly entered a state of acceleration.
The efficacy of T-VEX is still at its peak.
The world around him stopped again.
The pigeons in the square are hovering in the air, their wings flapping.
The smiles of passers-by were frozen on their faces.
The water drops in the fountain are like static Crystal bead curtains.
In this still world, Pietro is the only king.
He turned into a silver stream of light, drew a huge arc, tried to go around the side and rear of Homelander, and rushed directly to the end of the street.
"Just get around him..."
Pietro is calculating the trajectory in his heart.
He made a rapid change of direction fifty meters away from Homelander.
However.
Just at the moment when he thought he had passed safely.
Something terrible happened.
In this world where everything is still.
The figure with its back to him...
That head that should be as still as a sculpture...
Turned slightly sideways.
It's only about 15 degrees.
But this 15 degrees, in the eyes of Pietro, is simply more terrifying than a landslide!
He moved?!
In this realm where time stands still, he can actually move?!
Immediately afterwards, a scene appeared that left Pietro stunned.
The blue eyes of Homelander are slowly rotating along with the high-speed movement of Pietro.
Pietro ran to the left and his eyes turned to the left.
Pietro changed direction to the right, and his eyes followed him to the right.
That is the gaze that sees through time.
"Ah--!!!"
Pietro's mind exploded.
He saw it.
He knows.
He is waiting for me.
"Run!!!"
Pietro no longer cares about disguises or detours.
His legs turned into blurred phantoms. He wanted to escape from that look, he wanted to escape from that monster.
Atlantic Ocean, ran to Atlantic Ocean, used the sea as a runway, and ran to Europe in one breath!
"Quick! Quick! Faster!!"
Pietro felt that his heart was about to explode, but he did not dare to stop or even look back.
One second.
He wore Brooklyn Bridge.
Ten seconds.
He crossed the end of Long Island.
Thirty seconds.
The vast Atlantic Ocean appears in front of you.
He didn't slow down and stepped directly onto the sea.
The huge tension generated by the contact between the soles of his feet and the water made him feel as if he was walking on flat ground, and the white waves behind him exploded after a few seconds.
"Huh... huh..."
Pietro was panting violently. Even at super speed, this high-intensity running made him panting.
But he felt a little more at ease.
Surrounded by the endless deep blue sea, there is only the roar of the sea breeze.
"Did you get rid of it?"
Pietro slowed down a little and looked back.
There is nothing behind him.
There is only the horizon.
"It scared me to death... that guy is simply not human..."
"Um, are you talking about me?"
A gentle voice with a hint of curiosity suddenly sounded in his ears.
Pietro turned his head sharply.
On his right side, walking side by side with him.
Homelander is floating upside down on the sea, keeping the same speed as him.
He followed Pietro so casually, just like walking in the park.
Not even her hair is messed up.
"You..."
Pietro was so frightened that his feet softened and he fell directly.
He rolled dozens of times on the sea like a stone tossed in water, stirring up countless waves, and finally sank into the water in embarrassment.
"Gululu..."
After a few seconds, a hand grabbed his collar and lifted him out like a chicken.
"Cough cough cough!!"
Pietro was thrown on a lonely reef, spitting out salty seawater.
He was soaked all over and shivering.
It's not that he is cold, but that he is afraid of the judgment he is about to face.
Homelander was suspended in the air, looking down at him.
The setting sun behind him gave him a golden rim, making him look both divine and terrifying.
"Running pretty fast, Pietro."
Homelander smiled and landed slowly, his boots stepping on the slippery rocks.
"Is this another new use of T-VEX? Sea marathon?"
Homelander squatted down, reached out and took out a lead box from Pietro's arms.
Open.
I took a look at the blue liquid inside.
"Is this the snack you carried behind my back?"
Homelander closed the box and tossed it in his hand.
Pietro turned over and lay on his back on the reef, looking at the dim sky, tears mixed with the sea water flowing down.
"Kill me." He closed his eyes and his voice was hoarse. "I betrayed Vought, I am Hydra."
"Why?" Homelander asked knowingly.
"For money? For power? Or do you feel that you have been treated badly at Vought?"
"No! No!"
Pietro raised his head suddenly, his eyes red.
"It's for Wanda!"
"I only have this one family... I can't live without her..."
Pietro said, tears streaming down his face.
"Since it's for your family, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
There was no anger in Homelander's voice, but a kind of kindness similar to that of an elder.
Pietro was stunned.
He opened his eyes and looked at Homelander in disbelief.
"You... you won't kill me?"
"Kill you?" Homelander smiled, "Because you made a mistake to save your family?"
Homelander squatted down and sat next to Pietro.
"Pietro, Vought is more than just a company, and we are more than just a team."
"It's a home."
"From the moment you join, you are more than just a family member to Wanda."
"But at home, going through fire and water for your family is not a sin, it is a virtue."
Homelander looked directly at Pietro, a trace of disappointment flashed in his "sincere" eyes.
"I'm very disappointed, Pietro. Not because you stole things, but because you didn't trust me. You didn't even call me boss."
"You were in trouble and you didn't tell me?"
"Do you think I will just watch your relatives being tortured and remain indifferent?"
"I..." Pietro choked, "I thought..."
"Don't think so."
Homelander stood up and threw the blue test tube back to Pietro.
Pietro caught it in a hurry.
"This..." He was dumbfounded.
"Take it." Homelander said lightly.
"What?!" Pietro suspected that he heard wrongly.
"Since Hydra wants it, then give it to him."
Homelander turned his back, looked into the distance, and said calmly.
"Take it with you and go to Sokovia."
"Give them the things and bring Wanda back."
"But... this is the original liquid!" Pietro said anxiously, "It is Vought's most precious asset..."
"No, Pietro. This isn't it, you are!"
"Vought The most precious thing is you, always!"
