"No!!"
Yondu suddenly roared, his eyes bloodshot.
"That bastard Ego..."
"He lied to me!!"
"He said he wouldn't hurt them!!"
Guilt, regret, and rage erupted in his chest like molten lava.
"I'm going to kill him..."

Had to die!
That was the will of all humanity!
"Kill him, Homelander!"
"Avenge those children!!"
"For Earth! For humanity! For everyone!"
Countless furious cries rang out in every corner of Earth.

Jessica Jones stopped and turned to look at him.
"What is it?" Jessica asked. She had immediately sensed that something was off about his mood.
Homelander furrowed his brow, letting pain and compassion show on his face at just the right
