Black Robe: How can Saiki Kusuo not be considered a superpowered individual?

"What the hell?"

"You want me to ask the military for people?"

"Butter, did that soldier boy shove your brain in?"

CIA Director's Office.

Thanks to the success of Compound V and the resources left behind by Colonel Mallory, Susan successfully became the new director.

She was in a great mood, having not only dealt a huge blow to Walter, but also successfully taken office as the director of the CIA.

While the V compound incident alone might not be enough to defeat Vought, it could at least keep those so-called superhumans in line.

If we extend the timeline, there might not be any more superhumans in the world.

Thinking of this, Susan couldn't help but recall a friend of hers.

FBSA Director, Member of Parliament, Victoria Newman.

They are business partners, and also have a good relationship in private.

If there are any major events involving superhumans, Susan usually informs Newman in advance to prevent problems from arising.

Everything is going smooth.

Chaos erupted within Vought, and even Stan Edgar fell from power, leading to a power transition.

Walter is in his most vulnerable phase.

Susan was in high spirits, planning to team up with Newman to give Walter a proper set of management rules to restrain those superhumans.

However, Butcher's phone call made her feel somewhat crazy.

"Those are the People's Liberation Army! Didn't you see the videos online? They almost breached the entire west coast!"

"If Homelander hadn't been seriously injured and defeated them in the end, the American regime might be completely different now."

Susan's voice trembled slightly when she spoke of Homelander.

Clearly, Susan still felt fear and...a little awe towards this most powerful superhuman.

At least when the Homelanders were invaded on the West Coast, they actually rushed to fight.

If Compound V hadn't been exposed, this alone would have been enough to push superhumans into the military system, realizing Vought's grand plan that had been in the works for half a century.

Unfortunately, it was a bombshell.

Homelander barely salvaged the reputation of superhumans or superheroes.

Back to the topic.

That bastard Butcher, what does he think he is?

I'm just a lowly CIA director!

She was only in charge of clerical work, but she still influenced the president's decisions to some extent.

The generals in the military have real power and troops under their command!

Should I go and ask the military for the person myself?

Or are they the members of the People's Liberation Army who have been the focus of their attention recently?

Are you kidding me? Do you really think I'm Doraemon?

Susan seriously suspects that Butcher's brain has been influenced by the soldier boy.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have made such an outrageous request.

"Hey, Susan, you know, we have no one else to turn to."

Butcher looked somewhat embarrassed; he knew this might be difficult for Susan.

But what if?

Perhaps Kenji wasn't important among that group of terrorists.

Susan is the kind of person who can be redeemed by giving her a little something.

"You're fucking daring."

"Please, Susan, if all else fails, try to get us a chance to meet."

Butcher glanced at Kimiko, who was listening intently to the phone call next to him, and spoke.

After all, it's for the sake of team stability.

The conflict between the mother and the soldier boy was already big enough; if Kimiko's problem wasn't addressed, the Black Robe Squad would only split up.

That's why he had to swallow his pride and beg Susan for help.

"..."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

"I'll inquire with the military."

"By the way, besides begging me, you have other people you can beg from."

"You mean Becca? You know I can't bow down to Walter."

"Are you an idiot?"

Susan didn't want to continue talking to Butcher.

She hung up the phone.

Beep beep beep——————

Butcher looked around and shrugged.

"I've done all I can. Now all I have to do is wait."

"I advise you not to even think about sneaking into the military headquarters; the security level there is incomparable to that outside."

He reminded Kimiko.

"Kimiko, don't worry, I'll help you."

French took Kimiko's hand and tried to comfort her.

Kimiko nodded slightly.

......

Army Headquarters.

Something terrifying happened here.

"I've said it so many times, those things just vanished suddenly!"

"Not long after we got it back, before we even started to study the technology inside, it mysteriously disappeared."

"Why would I lie to you! Go check the security footage yourselves!"

"Fake stuff?! Are you out of your mind?!"

The Army Commander-in-Chief cursed into the phone.

"Where are the terrorists? Have you gotten anything out of them?"

"I found out some information, but I would suggest going to Vought to find telepathic superpowered individuals, such as the one who can read minds, or the mind storm at the end of the last century."

He hung up the phone.

Dozens of cat tanks vanished into thin air from the heavily guarded warehouse of the military headquarters.

All the spoils were lost.

He also had to endure complaints from his two colleagues.

I can't take it anymore!

The Commander-in-Chief put down his phone, lay down on his leather sofa, and sighed helplessly.

Superhumans are indeed useful, but difficult to control.

That old bastard Stan told me a long time ago that Walter was researching the so-called "temporary V compound," but after all this time, he hasn't shown a single sign of it.

Now, with the V compound scandal and internal strife, he's been sidelined and sent away.

He couldn't very well take action against the current CEO of Vought, after all, Homelander supported him, and...

That pink-haired superhuman should also be on his side.

The commander-in-chief felt that since they couldn't win, they should just leave Walter to his own devices as before.

As long as it doesn't threaten the stability of the United States, it won't matter even if they change the president.

Just as he was thinking this, his adjutant walked in.

"Commander, CIA Director Susan Reiner would like to meet with you to discuss some matters."

"The CIA?"

The commander-in-chief frowned. The CIA and their military had absolutely no connection, so why would they come looking for him?

Susan... seems to be Colonel Mallory's junior colleague.

The Commander-in-Chief's brow relaxed.

Since he is a descendant of an old friend, it wouldn't hurt to meet him.

"Let's schedule a time to meet."

He said this.

(It's past midnight! I finished two exams today, one tomorrow, and one the day after, but there are no more major-related courses! (づ￣3￣)づ)
