   Summary

   "My name is John," the boy says, a slight trembling in his voice betraying a reluctance to answer. "Are you like me?"

   "Um, what do you mean ‘like you’?"

   "Are you a superhero?"

    

   ______________

   Or, what if in the middle of his dimension hopping Mark crash lands in the world of The Boys, year 1993, right in the facility holding John, who is yet to become Homelander?
   What if he saves him?
   What if he gets stuck?
   What if the first person to genuinely care about John is a traumatized, stranded teenager barely holding himself together?
   What if Vought notices?
