PROLOGUE

Billy Butcher was in bed while listening to how his husband, Ben, or as everyone knew him, Soldier Boy, was bathing their son. His little Jack, who was not that little, Jack had turned 15 the day before. Billy smiled remembering when Jack couldn't stop jumping from one side to the other because of so much sugar he had eaten that day. Ben just looked at Billy with a look that begged for help, since he had to try to put him to sleep, since Billy had told him that if a sugar rush happened because of Ben, it was his problem to deal with it. Soldier Boy could only lower his head and curse to try to get Jack to go to the bathroom and shower, but Jack could only take two steps and then lie down on the floor from the sugar crash he got after the sugar rush.

Billy sighed and watched as the clock on the nightstand beside him said it was 7:45 am and it was time to get up to help make breakfast. He got out of bed and went to the bathroom in the room to wash his mouth and take a bath. When he finished doing his things, he heard how they opened the door of his house with too much force, causing it to break. Alerted, he went to where Ben and their son were to see how his husband was in front of Jack in a fighting position.

- "Cass, what the hell was that!?" Ben asked with the nickname Billy had learned to love in this life and the past life too. That was one of the secrets of both of them, one of the most hidden secrets of the moment. Billy and Soldier Boy were Castiel and Dean Winchester, an angel and a hunter from another life where they fell in love under unfavorable circumstances and had a second chance to get back together and of course, they didn't waste it to be together and get married in secret.

They were still in contact with Sam, who was Dean's younger brother, and Gabriel, who was Sam's husband. It was quite sad and surprising for Sam to see his brother alive again, although a little different, and the same thing happened with Castiel. He was about to hit Castiel, being stopped by his brother who told him that he was Cass but different.

- "I don't know, Dean. But because of the noise, we have to be alert," Billy answered seriously, watching as Ben just nodded and walked away from Jack, who stood with a serious look.

- "We have to go see," Jack said to see how his parents looked at each other and nodded in mutual agreement, then saw how Ben opened a box that he had left in Jack's room and gave a gun to his husband and son.

- "Let's go," Ben murmured to his family, to start going down the stairs of the house, stopping for a few moments to listen to several different voices speaking.

"Are you sure they're here?" "They might be out." "I don't think so, Billy is always here at this time." "Deep, are you sure they have a son?"

Upon hearing the last thing, Billy and Ben looked at each other dumbfounded because how the hell did The Deep find out that they had Jack as a son and that they were in a relationship? They had been very careful about that, besides treating each other like shit when they were together. Maybe, offering Soldier Boy a home was a bit of suspicion, or how they always disappeared and appeared almost at the same time. Whatever it was, the boys knew that they were married and had a son.

And that was a problem.

A pretty big problem.

Little shit motherfuckers

That's what Ben was thinking after the shock of the moment had passed. They are all bastards, little shit-pricks who don't know what privacy is. He sighed and tried to calm his anger a little.

He could hear a little voice in his head—which rarely sounded like his brother Sam's—telling him to stop cursing and calm down a little. He couldn't defend his family if he were angry.

Ben looked at Butcher, who nodded, then leaped towards the room with agility and landed gracefully on the floor.

- "What the fuck are you doing here and why the hell did you break the fucking door?" Ben asked, cursing with every word he said. Of course, when he was Dean, he didn't curse much, but now he can curse whatever he wants.

- "We received some...interesting news. I think you would be interested in knowing it, Soldier Boy," commented Homelander, watching as Soldier Boy looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

- " Oh really?" Soldier Boy asked sarcastically. "And what the hell is that important information?"

- "Well why don't Kevin tell you so" John responded looking at Deep who was looking at him with wide eyes. It was well known that Soldier Boy had little patience with him and everyone in general.

The room was silent for a few seconds. Everyone looked at Soldier Boy who was looking at Kevin with a look that meant that if he didn't speak first, Kevin would find himself six meters underground and not exactly digging towards the center of the earth.

- "Well?" Soldier Boy spoke irritably, breaking the awkward silence in the place.

- "I've been researching you, Soldier Boy, and..." he didn't finish speaking when Ben already had Kevin on the wall, choking him.

- "Isn't it enough for you to know the things people talk and speculate about me?" Ben growled, annoyed, watching Kevin gasp for air. "Don't you fucking know when to stay out of my private business, you fucking bastards!?"

- "Ben," Butcher said, watching as Soldier Boy let go of Kevin's neck with an annoyed look.

- "Tch...just tell me what the hell you found out about me now" Ben grumbled and watched as Kevin continued to breathe to catch his breath.

After Kevin held his breath and rubbed his now red neck with marks from Soldier Boy's hands; Kevin looked at Ben nervously. Of course, everyone ignored how Ben listened to Butcher.

- "We found out that you have another son besides Homelander"

- "Who the hell put that fucking idea in your head, ha!?" Ben growled, not realizing that Starlight had gone to the second floor to look for Soldier Boy's second son.

- "Listen, no one put anything into our heads. Kevin just pulled a few strings here and there, and well, what a surprise we found that you have another hidden son," Starlight responded holding a 15-year-old boy by the neck, which made Billy and Ben tense.

Annie let go of the boy, making him look at her in anger and disgust.

- "The next time you go to grab someone by the throat, ask if they are comfortable with that or not!?" Jack said rolling his eyes.

- "Really this is your other son, Soldier Boy?" John said incredulously and then let out a laugh. "How pathetic that you have another son this weak."

- "I'm not Soldier Boy's son," Jack responded, seeing what the situation was like with his parents and team. Jack didn't like anyone in that group, especially that cheap copy of Superman and Captain America mixed.

- "Oh, then who are your child?" Kevin asked confused, looking Jack up and down.

- "I...I'm Billy Butcher's nephew," Jack said quickly, looking at Dad and then at Kevin.

- "Are you really Billy's nephew?" Homelander asked, not believing anything that child said, and then looked at Butcher.

- "Yes, it's my nephew, Jack," said Butcher, approaching Jack and putting a hand on his shoulder.

Good, perfect. Now Jack would have to act as Billy's nephew and Soldier Boy had to get the Seven off his back and try to keep them from finding out anything else. 

Why did everything have to go to shit?

One of these days, Soldier Boy was going to kill Kevin, and he wasn't going to regret it. That sea fish deserved it.
