Chapter 402 - Interviewing Firecracker

At this moment, Sara interjected, "Do you really need helpers? Why don't you bring more helpers from my world? For example, my sister, Laurel Lance."

"In fact, besides my sister, my universe has many other excellent women worth mentioning, such as Green Arrow's sister Thea, his future assistant Felicity, the Huntress Helena…"

Although Sara was visiting Themyscira for the first time, she immediately adapted to the local customs.

Ever since she learned of Aaron's existence, capable of disregarding timelines and altering everyone's fate, Sara had this idea.

During her time with Legends, she had learned many things. She revered time but was unwilling to watch her sister be bound by time and fate.

Star City was too small, only by following Aaron could she gain a larger platform.

Of course, most importantly, she didn't want Green Arrow to take advantage.

Gwenpool's eyes lit up when she heard this. Her gaze towards Sara was that of a kindred spirit.

Sara truly resonated with her. Aaron was still too conservative. Gwenpool wished she could help him with his conquests.

Hearing that Sara's world had so many potential helpers, Gwenpool became a little impatient.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go bring them over quickly."

Aaron raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you going to learn from Vought International?"

Gwenpool hesitated upon hearing this.

At this moment, Circe stepped forward and said with a charming smile, "Master, let me bring back those helpers for you. Gwenpool, you can go ahead."

Circe's eyes gleamed with a hint of green, clearly indicating she had a plan.

Don't be fooled by Circe's docile demeanor like a kitten in front of Aaron. In reality, before she followed Aaron, she was an evil witch who caused everyone a headache.

Aaron knew Circe's true nature. Without his restraint, no one knew what Circe would do to bring back "helpers."

Thinking of this, he instructed Pamela and Anzu to assist Circe, while also restraining her.

The two were not weak, especially Anzu, who, possessing the Athena God Cloth, was truly a goddess.

As for Gwenpool, she went with Aaron to another universe to "learn."

"Wow, so this is the Boys universe you were talking about? It doesn't look much different from my world, very modern."

"I can't wait to see how the Superheroes of this world get along with ordinary people."

After passing through the time-space portal, Gwenpool looked at the bustling crowd around them with excitement.

Aaron scanned their surroundings.

This was a beach, full of foreign women in bikinis.

However, no one noticed their sudden appearance.

Looking at Gwenpool's expectant expression, Aaron said meaningfully, "Then you'd better be prepared, and it's best not to have too much hope."

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Such an exaggerated disparity could make one feel despair.

Gwenpool did not detect the deeper meaning in Aaron's words.

"I'm ready. Even if the media exaggerates, how exaggerated can it be?" Gwenpool was somewhat dismissive.

The media might exaggerate, but it was a fact that Superheroes and humans coexisted without barriers, right?

She hated the societal background where Superheroes had to wear masks and disguise themselves to appear.

The emergence of the Boys universe gave her hope.

"Wow, look! It's Firecracker! Our Superhero from Florida!"

The crowd on the beach suddenly surged and everyone excitedly rushed in a certain direction.

Then they saw a woman in a blue and red uniform, with a pair of long, fair legs exposed, leap over ten meters high, jump into the seawater in a few steps, and easily rescue a little girl trapped in the water, cradling her in her arms.

"Wow! As expected of a Superhero!"

"Firecracker, I'm your fan, can I get your autograph?"

"Thank you, our hero!"

Gwenpool watched Firecracker enthusiastically interact with ordinary people from a distance and immediately felt that she had come to the right place.

"How did she do it? No mask to cover her face, no glasses to lower her presence, just openly revealing her true self."

"I'm increasingly looking forward to this world."

"She's a wet nurse." Aaron looked at Firecracker with a strange expression.

Isn't this Homelander's wet nurse? Well, literally.

Homelande is the undisputed NO. 1 in the Boys world.

He possesses a weakened version of Superman's abilities, including Steel Body, Super Vision, Heat Vision, flight, X-ray vision, super strength, and so on.

Why a weakened version?

Because Homelander's abilities are relatively fixed. His power is between a hundred and a thousand tons, his flight speed is only a few Mach, and his X-ray vision requires focus and cannot penetrate zinc metal.

Furthermore, his strength cannot continue to grow, and he does not possess ice breath, nor one of Superman's most important abilities—the biological force field.

This means Homelander cannot land a plane smoothly, nor can he carry ordinary people at supersonic speeds for long periods.

But even with a weakened Steel Body, he is still one of the undisputed strongest in The Boys.

In a one-on-one fight, the only one who can threaten him is his father, Soldier Boy.

However, such a powerful character, who clearly has the power to overthrow nations, is secretly a big boy who lacks love and will never truly grow up.

He has two main hobbies: showing off and human breast milk.

Firecracker specializes in producing Firecracker brand breast milk, specially for Homelander.

But it must be said, Firecracker's breasts are truly large.

"Wet nurse?"

Gwenpool was stunned and subconsciously looked at Firecracker.

Although she didn't have Super Vision, she had other methods. She took out a drawing board to draw, then pulled out a telescope to look.

"What a pair of good breasts!"

"So you really like that type."

Gwenpool was led astray and subconsciously glanced at herself. Although hers weren't small, they were still a bit lacking.

Aaron patted her head. "Don't overthink it, yours are good too."

Gwenpool's mood was not affected. After Aaron's comfort, she looked at Firecracker and said energetically, "I think I should interview her."

"Hmm… I think you'd better look around this world more. This is Florida." Aaron said tactfully.

As everyone knows, Florida doesn't keep idlers.

As the Superhero of Daytona Beach, Florida, Firecracker has the genuine Florida blood flowing through her veins.

In public, she is a Superhero skilled at managing her image. Behind the scenes, she is a famous blogger on YouTube and Twitter.

She independently runs a show—The Truth Bomb With Firecracker.

Nominally, it's about exposing hidden truths in society, but in reality, it's about gaining traffic and building a persona through spreading rumors.

This is a common tactic among Superheroes in the Boys, especially The Seven.

To outsiders, Superheroes often fight crime, rescue the helpless, and care for the vulnerable. They are seen as righteous beacons, blessed by God, possessing super strength and compassion. However, in reality, they are all more depraved and ruthless than the last.

Everything they do is for PR, often twisting facts, concealing the truth, and frequently engaging in immoral activities, making them all villains.

They occasionally do a few good deeds, which are then heavily publicized to gain public support and fans, thereby boosting their approval ratings for personal gain.

Gwenpool was still too naive. The Boys is not a place of benevolence.

Gwenpool realized there was a hidden meaning in Aaron's words and looked thoughtfully at Firecracker, who was promoting her show in the distance.

"Then shall we look around a bit more?"

At this moment, when Firecracker in the distance looked this way, she noticed the unconventional Aaron and Gwenpool.

She smiled, about to pass by, but then she saw Aaron.

Although Firecracker did not have Super Vision, having been enhanced by compound v, her physical quality far exceeded that of ordinary people, and even her eyesight had improved.

Even from hundreds of meters away, she could clearly see Aaron's face, and was then deeply attracted to him.

He's so handsome!

Firecracker's smile grew brighter. She waved casually to the crowd, gave Aaron a deep look, and then departed into the distance.

Aaron prepared to take Gwenpool to The Seven's headquarters, located at Vought International's main office in Manhattan.

He had already realized that the time they had traveled to had not yet entered the main storyline. It was currently some time before Hughie's girlfriend's death.

A-Train had not yet gone missing, and Starlight had not joined the team.

Queen Maeve and Homelander had also not yet formed a romantic relationship.

It was still a long way from Firecracker joining The Seven.

"Let's go, there's nothing to see here. I'll take you to see the truest side of this world." Aaron said, leading Gwenpool away.

He did not use Dimensional Teleportation, but instead walked with Gwenpool to a nearby airport.

However, just as they were leaving the beach and hailing a taxi, a rolls-royce suddenly cut in front of the taxi and stopped in front of Aaron.

As the car window rolled down, Firecracker's sweet, smiling face was revealed.

"Hi, you two, I think you might need a little help?"

Gwenpool exclaimed, "Firecracker!"

"Oh, you've heard my story?"

Firecracker smiled and nodded at Gwenpool, thinking she was also a fan. "I'll give you an autograph sometime, but for now..."

"Handsome, where do you want to go?"

"Thinking of having a good time in Florida? I don't have many plans today, so I can give you a ride."

Aaron did not refuse her kindness. Like getting into his own private car, he expertly sat in the back seat.

"Then please take us to the nearest airport. Of course, you can also take me to a resort hotel. I don't mind spending an unforgettable night here before heading to New York."

Aaron was well aware of his own charm. No matter how well Firecracker crafted her persona, she was still a woman.

Firecracker's eyes flickered. She stared at Aaron through the rearview mirror. If Gwenpool hadn't been there, she would have wanted to... right there on the beach.

"Then hold on tight, my driving skills are first-rate."

Firecracker smiled confidently, puffing out her chest, making the marks from the tight seatbelt even more prominent. She licked her alluring red lips, stepped on the gas, and sped onto the highway.

The destination was not the airport, but the nearest resort hotel.

"By the way, you both know my name, so can I know yours?"

Firecracker drove well, chatting as she drove.

She multitasked, her gaze lingering on Aaron.

"My name is Aaron. As for her... you can call her Gwenpool."

"Gwenpool? What a strange name."

In the back seat, Gwenpool had no awareness of being a third wheel. She pulled out a notebook, a pen, and a voice recorder from who-knows-where, and asked with a smile, "Ms. Firecracker, can I interview you with some questions?"

Firecracker glanced at Gwenpool, feeling very strange. Did this woman have anywhere to hide things on her? How did she even have a microphone? Where was it hidden before?

She looked her up and down, puzzled, but smiled and nodded. "Of course, I didn't expect you to be a reporter. It seems we're colleagues."

For Aaron's sake, she didn't mind Gwenpool asking a couple of questions to show off.

Yes, she immediately dismissed Gwenpool as some obscure reporter trying to make a name for herself.

She knew exactly what these small-time reporters were thinking. Having the opportunity to interact with her, the most famous person in Florida, today, they would certainly not miss this chance to gain fame.

Gwenpool did not detect the hint of rejection in Firecracker's smile. She asked, "Ms. Firecracker, what is your real name?"

Firecracker paused, then smiled and shook her head. "I don't remember. Firecracker is my name now, and it's my symbol."

To become famous, one needed to be easily remembered. She had deeply realized this after failing a talent show at thirteen. So, whether in front of the media or in private, she always used Firecracker as her name.

Facts proved this decision to be very successful. Everyone remembered the name Firecracker, not the unremarkable, unoriginal mortal name she had before.

Gwenpool felt a bit strange.

Was it necessary for Superheroes to do this? To change their name because of their superpowers was odd.
