Why do humans support such non-superior beings compared to the obviously stronger and elite version? They were supposed to love him, praise his existence, not whatever you were. None of it made sense, he was principle of a perfect hero but no they prefer a weaker idol to stand as their savior. Who cares how many people you save without the assistance of fake scenarios like him? It didn’t matter cause he knew that in every way he was better than you even if it was all a lie, after all he was the one genetically born to be an ideal god.
Regardless of all of that they continue to be ungrateful to him. Every single one of them worthless to his eyes. He shouldn’t care about their appraisal but the idea of those imbeciles worshipping you more than him put him in rage. How can imperfections like you persist to exist? You had no name, no worth, you were absolutely nothing. So how come is he being forced to see your face on every billboard across the city and merchandise of you everywhere? He couldn’t escape you and any attempt to get rid of you failed, you were too observant. That in sense was special about you immediately vanishing out of existence but never truly gone. Your skill set is proving to annoy him more. Homelander despises you and he would never admit it but he envy you.
Perhaps it wouldn’t have gone this far if you had accepted joining the seven way back when Vought offered you the chances. He could’ve had control of you, molded you to his liking. You would fear him and follow all his commands. No longer would you be the eye of the public only he would remain in the hearts of all. Yet you declined it and also humiliated him live on TV. You ran your mouth tearing at him while ruining his reputation. He remembers quite well what you said as Ashley put you on display as she paced around trying to find solutions to handle the situation.
“So we heard you were invited to join the seven and rumors say you declined. Can you tell us why you decided to miss such a big opportunity?” The interviewer curiously asked you. “Well it was simple, my beliefs didn’t align with them. Honestly, when was the last time they ever helped someone without the intent of profiting or prompting some bullshit stuff? They don’t care about doing good, most of them mostly get more people killed than save specially Homelander. He doesn’t know how to fucking do shit, I don’t even know why he's even a hero in the first place when he's just pathetic asshole.”
Then you continue to berate him like he was nothing. He desperately wanted to obliterate you at that moment but he kept his cool for now. Homelander known if he killed you it would bring uproar on him. He needed to keep his appearance clean if he wanted them to continue to love him. For now, he needed to think smart to put you in your place. It isn't long before he finally gets you, no longer can you avoid his wrath.
From above he observes as you stand in front of a stage preaching to your dedicated audience. Yells of real admiration surround through out, it sickens him how pure nonsense could continue to prosper. Homelander had enough of this blasphemy as he slowly descended beside you. You weren’t even surprised when he appeared, He even noticed a small smile on your face.
“Welcome Homelander, it's great to have you join us! I guess you got bored with just listening.” You kept your eyes forward not sparing a single glance at his presence. He hated how you called him out like that. Homelander desperately wanted to murder you right there for treating him like he was some lesser being. However, He didn’t need those news outlets reporting that he was some supe killer. Guaranteed the public wouldn’t enjoy that. For now, he had to play civil until he could get what he wanted.
“Not quite, just checking that no trouble is being caused here. Don’t want a rowdy crowd disrupting their fellow citizens.” You hum not believing his obvious lie.
“Is that so? Well, you could clearly tell that not the case here. How about you do something useful or perhaps fuck off in your tower!” Parts of the crowd roar in agreement with you. A frown on him followed before disappearing quickly. He had enough of your disrespect and distaste of him. If you wanted to keep acting like you had higher authority than him then he would use that for his advantage.
“Aren’t you feisty. I only wanted to assure the safety of everyone including you.” He loudly proclaims to make it seem like he cares. Unexpectedly to everyone, he wrapped his arm around your waist bringing you closer to him. “I don’t always agree with you but that doesn’t mean I can’t take care of my fellow heroes.” His other unattended hand strikes upon his chest while a smirk appears with it. Like always the crowd simply got wooed by his effortless charm.
“Oh, that's so sweet that the Homelander finally learned sympathy for others. What do I deserve for such graces?” You respond sarcastically. “How should I ever thank you?”
Homelander could basically taste the condescension in your response. He knew if he kept at this it would eventually keep going back and forth. You weren’t the type to back down and neither was he. Both of you were similar that way. Nevertheless, he knew one weakness about you that he didn’t share at the slightest.
“If you keep at this I’ll slaughter everyone here and frame it on you. Who do you think they’re going to believe? You or America's greatest hero?” He tightened his grasp on you while leaning forward so only you could hear.
“My goodness, if you wanted my attention you could’ve just asked, no need to resort to violence towards innocent civilians. How about we just fight it out or something? I know you would enjoy seeing me all tried out and defenseless.” You utter under your breath at him.
Homelander was thrown off by your almost seductive applied comment. It almost sounded like you were flirting with him. At that point, he couldn’t control the uninvited images flashing through his head of you. He felt the bottom of his suit getting uncomfortable. No you were messing with him again to embarrass him in front of the public.
“Stop fucking with me, I don't enjoy playing this game with you. I will crush your weak body in half until I see that pained expression on your face.” 
“Aw, how cute giving threats like an angsty fourteen-year-old. Does that make you feel like you have authority?” You tease him with a gentle chuckle. Of course, you found this amusing, not even a bit frightened by him. You don’t even wince in pain when his grip on you becomes unbearable. “Come on, I'll make it easier for you this time. I know you've been having trouble trying to find me.” You tilt closer to him so that it would make it seem you were going to lean in to kiss him. Considering how near you've been with him the audience is probably misinterpreting your relationship with him.
You don’t even let him answer as you announce your departure with the forgotten crowd leaving them with him. Not wasting time he immediately chased after you. True to your words you would expose yourself randomly just for him. He wanted to hate that he needed assistance to catch up with you but if this was the quickest way to get rid of you then he let it slide. You start taking him more into secluded areas, baiting him to try to use his power without needing casualties. After a while, he beamed you down. Whether it was done by his own skill or you purposely letting him, it didn't matter as he pinned you down where you fell in an abandoned alleyway.
You moan as Homelander presses down on your back against the ground applying aching pressure on the part he lasered on. He prepared to finish you off as his eyes heated up but not long after before he could follow a joyful laugh from you.
“Do that again!” Your excitement confusing him.
“What?”
“Your lesser eyes, lesser me again I know you can change the intensity of them, fire it up more!”
He stares at you maybe with judgment or amusement. Did you really desire him to hurt you? Homelander felt mixed feelings about this discovery of you. It wasn’t because he minded doing it, he would actually do it until it literally killed you. More on the fact that it seem you been excited at the thought of it. 
“Come on, pathetic narcissistic freak! Do it, I know you want me dead!” You try to taunt him into doing it.
“Don’t tell me what to do, you’re the pathetic one begging me. I can do whatever I want!” His anger toward you once again came as if it ever went away, diffusing his confusion.
“Yeah, we all know you do whatever you want. You’re like an unrestricted child who doesn’t know how to restrain themselves. Real heroes like me end up cleaning up your mess.” You would have continued your rant about him, but he was tired of your bullshit.
“I don’t think you get it. You act as like your beyond me, immune to your actions that tarnish my reputation. You’re just nobody, a small filth that doesn’t belong in my revolution. I’m the real hero, I’m god it self!”
“Supremacist much? Is that it that you wanted to get off your chest? If you are a hero that you say you are how about you defend the enemy right in front of you? That's the way you see me, right? I'm the enemy.” You wrap your hand on the back of his neck bringing his face to your level. He felt your fingertips comb the back of his hair. Homelander didn’t understand why you kept messing with him like this? First, you insult him then you flirt with him like you just didn’t degrade him. It confused him making him second-guess if he should be mad or feel aroused by it.
Surprisingly you lock your lips on his interrupting his thoughts. You didn't even wait as you took action before he could. He should’ve retained himself and gotten rid of you for taking advantage of him but his self preserves told him otherwise. Screw it, he told himself as he kissed you back roughly. It's been too long since he got his dick wet, who cares that he hated your guts he will deal with it later.
Homelander felt you bite on his lips, and he bit harder as blood drew from you. He slid his tongue in your mouth tasting the iron taste from your lips. His finger choked around your neck while he took your breath. He enjoys feeling you suffocate under him, making him have that control he always wanted over you.
Then he face planted below where you were as you disappeared. He quickly repositioned, feeling piss off from the sudden change. Of course, you would take this chance to embarrass him in such vulnerable positions. However, it wasn’t long until you appeared on top of him putting your lips back on his again. Still upset from earlier he digs his fingers deep into the wound he gave you on your back. He smirked to himself as you moan from it. As the kiss deepened, he kept fingering your wound staining his gloves with your blood. He never knew cooperating with such acts would be so pleasurable, Him inflicting pain on another as it got viewed as exhilarating. Who could ever do this with him beside you? You saw his use of powers as desirable even as you hated him. Homelander felt pride that he was the only one who could ever satisfy your dirty desires. This kept going on, further along as he found himself groaning feeling you grinding yourself against his crotch.
“Oh, fuck.” He pulls away from the kiss almost losing himself as he silences his continuous groans with your neck. His canines bite down feeling tight as you continue rubbing on him.
“Harder, fucker!” He glances up to you as you do the motion of biting down after licking the blood off your lips. Usually, he would bark back but he enjoys imagining what you could be licking instead. He let his canines pierce deeper into your neck leaving you out of breath. “Yeah, just like that.”
Before long Homelander had your whole upper body full of deep bites bleeding over your chest. Eventually, things got rougher along with flinging each other around and the misuse of heated vision. If anyone stumbled upon this they would have been terrified by the horror they saw. Who would know you both share very odd revelations about each other that would overpower the dislike of each other. Perhaps there is a way that both of you could get along.
