Summary
“Butcher pulls out his phone, setting it on the table. He eyes it, just staring at it.
The whiskey starts to take effect, slightly dulling the pain in his mind and body alike, and the idea of calling Hughie sounds better and better every time he raises the whiskey bottle to his lips yet again.
He’s not sure how much he’s drank or how much time has passed when he picks that phone up and calls Hughie. It rings once, twice, and then Hughie answers.
“Hello…? Butcher?””One shot. Butcher follows through—alone—on a lead for information on Homelander that he knows seems pretty suspicious, and he gets himself hurt. He makes it back to his place and does a half-hearted, shoddy job at patching himself up, then gets drunk.
He already wanted to call Hughie, but maybe the whiskey makes it just a bit easier.
