Chapter 1: Lagoon Company And The Boys
(Opening A/N: Well guys it seems that I have come back from the slump of losing creativity and decided to write a new story this time I am mixing my favorite anime Black Lagoon with the Amazon show, The Boys, and this is going to be taking place in the universe of The Boys where superheroes are figures of protection when in reality they are just narcissistic egomaniac hopped up on Compound V so the only two factions standing between Vought International and the world, is The Boys, and Lagoon company. Also it seems that Butcher and Dutch happen to have history with one another. Originally I wanted to do two variations of the story having Rock and Hughie swapping places, but instead I thought it would be more kick ass if Rock and Hughie were together putting Supes into the ground. Also this story as always will be rated M for heavy amounts of blood and gore, intense sequences of graphic violence, lots of adult language, nudity, use of drugs and alcohol, and for lemons as well. As for the disclaimer: I don't own anything from either series, Rei Hiroe owns the rights to Black Lagoon along with Crunchyroll (Formerly Funimation) and Garth Ennis and Amazon own the rights to The Boys. So with that, let's begin.)
[New York City]
A World War II torpedo boat arrived at the harbor as the crew docked the ship, three men and one woman stepped off, a bald black man with green aviator sunglasses and a green military vest was the captain, his name Dutch, then a blonde haired man wearing a Hawaiian shirt and glasses stepped off next, that is Benny, after him, a Japanese businessman wearing a white work shirt and tie, and he was known as Rock, and finally bringing up the rear was a woman wearing a black tank top and short shorts along with combat boots, sporting a pair of Beretta M9s this was Revy.
"So Dutch, what the fuck are we doing here in New York?" Revy asked, and they were supposed to meet one of Dutch's contacts, a notorious Brit who happened to be in the Royal Marines and helped Dutch out on a mission.
"According to Balalaika, we're supposed to meet a guy by the name of Billy Butcher." Dutch said and on cue as Dutch mentioned Butcher's name, a bearded British man stood behind them with a smirk on his face wearing sunglasses and a trenchcoat sporting a crowbar in his right hand, he laid the crowbar on his right shoulder and tipped his sunglasses down.
"Oi, Dutch you fucking cunt! You don't write, you don't call, so what brings you all the way to this shit hole of America?" Billy asked, and it seems that Balalaika sent Lagoon Company to aid Butcher bringing down Vought International since one of the superheroes The Homelander was sent and caused massive damage to Roanapur.
[Roanapur, three weeks ago…]
A man approached the bar known as the Yellow Flag. He had blonde hair and he also had a cape with the stars and stripes on it making him an American. He wore a red and blue suit with a golden eagle on his right shoulder.
He was known as The Homelander, Homelander then walks into the bar as he then was greeted with guns aiming at the superhero as Homelander raised his hands.
"Gentlemen, gentlemen, I would love to tango with you, but it seems that you're going to be taking a dark path to your own graves, and we wouldn't want that do we?" Homelander asked as his eyes began to turn red.
Homelander fired a single blast of heat vision into one idiot who was about to pop off a round into him but Homelander was quick on the draw as he then blasted a hole into the man's skull as this head had a giant hole in it as the body collapsed.
Gunshots rang out as the patrons were killed off and their bullets weren't having any effect on him whatsoever.
Bao, the owner of the bar, cowered behind the bar as Homelander climbed over and grabbed Bao by the neck.
He hoists the helpless man as he then noticed that he had a 12 gage sawed off double barrel shotgun pointing at the supe.
He squeezed the trigger and fired at Homelander, but the gun had absolutely no effect on him whatsoever.
"Tsk, tsk, you shouldn't have done that." The Homelander said as he grabbed the gun from Bao and crushed it, "You're going to send a message on my behalf, this city is going to be under the watchful eye of Vought International, your corpses will be the message that Vought isn't playing around." He added before snapping Bao's neck, killing him as well.
Homelander then used his heat vision and set The Yellow Flag ablaze.
Word got out that the Yellow Flag was destroyed and Balalaika of Hotel Moscow, a Russian crime syndicate decided to send Lagoon Company to America and aid Butcher in bringing down Vought International.
"Dutch I will be sending you to New York City, I need you to team up with your friend Billy Butcher, I believe he might have some insight on the whole Vought International situation." Balalaika said over the phone, and it seems that Dutch had no choice and this whole thing was a Lagoon Company clean up job.
[Back to New York and Present Day…]
We then go over to a Caucasian man of American descent with curly hair enjoying his time with his girlfriend, the guy's name was Hughie Campbell and his world was about to be turned upside down as he and his girlfriend Robin were just being lost in love as the two began walking down the street.
As the two began planning out how to spend the rest of their lives, they began to see what their future was going to be together.
"So did you ask him?" Robin asked, and this puzzled Hughie as he then asked…
"Who?"
"Gary, did you ask him for a raise?"
"Yeah, yeah…it was, it was a…it was a crazy day and he was super busy…but tomorrow for sure, yeah." Hughie replied and Robin replied with.
"Okay."
"I mean what was I supposed to do, go in and kick down his door and ask him for a raise?" Hughie asked, and Robin replied without a second thought.
"I said 'Okay'."
And this started the back and forth conversation with both Robin and Hughie.
"Yeah but you didn't mean it. Come on, I see the look, I see it come on."
"This was like when we started dating."
"I don't think that's true."
"Dude, I had to ask you out."
"Well excuse me for waiting. Have you ever heard of a thing called Chivalry?"
"Listen, this is about you getting what you deserve. I am killing myself at school because I believe it's going to be worth it for both of us. You know, if we both move in together."
Wait, What? What? Wait. Hey, hey, hey hey, hey. What did you say?" Hughie as Robin stepped out onto the street a bit as Hughie grabbed her and he pulled her back in.
"Well I mean we can't keep laying pipe at your dad's place. Trying to be all quiet, staring at that dumb Billy Joel post…"
But Hughie and Robin kissed as in a car Butcher and Dutch watched the two love birds from across the street in an inconspicuous sedan.
"Why did you bring me out here Butcher?" Dutch asked, and Butcher pointed to Hughie and Robin as he then knew what would happen before it would happen.
"Watch closely Dutch, there's gonna be a speedster supe coming through here, and he is like a bull in a china shop, run right through that girl." Butcher said as Dutch looked out the passenger side window seeing if Butcher's prediction was correct.
Hughie and Robin kissed for a couple of seconds, and Robin broke off as she finished her sentence.
"Poster."
"Hey, don't you besmirch Billy Jo…" as for a second Robin disappeared and it turns out she was plowed through by a speedster superhero called A-Train.
As in slow motion, Robin's blood smeared all over Hughie along with a speedlike sonic boom and a trail of blood and other body parts scattered with the trail as he then looked around and the only thing left of Robin was her hands.
Just then, the dark skinned speedster caught his breath.
"I can't stop. I can't stop. I can't stop. I can't stop. Can't stop. Can't stop." A-Train said as he then sped out of sight, and Hughie was still dazed and confused about what was going on.
"Robin? Robin? Robin! Robin!" Hughie screamed her name the fourth time knowing the shock of losing his girlfriend.
"What the hell?!" Dutch exclaimed seeing the aftermath unfold in front of them, and that when Butcher handed Dutch a file on the speedster supe who also happens to be one of Vought's top superhero groups known as "The Seven."
Dutch opened the file and began looking it over, and he knew that super speed was his ability.
"So that was A-Train huh? Who are The Seven?" Dutch asked and he also had other files on the other members as well.
The Homelander, Queen Maeve, Lamplighter, A-Train, Translucent, The Deep, and Black Noir.
"They might be superheroes, but that is just a facade they usually put on when they want to make their company look good." Butcher added, "And that is going to be our first recruit."
[Meanwhile in Des Moines, Iowa…]
A young and upcoming superhero Annie January AKA Starlight was getting into shape and was going to be the newest member of The Seven, her intense exercises would include picking up a car and also punching through the wall of her parent's garage, her mother supported her and her goal was to be in the Seven, but little did she know how much hell she was going to be put through. She was interviewed and had to do the usual "Why do you want to be in the Seven?" type of interview with some scooters who were looking to replace a former superhero Lamplighter.
"I remembered back when I was a little girl, my mom would take me to some little miss hero pageants and they would ask me, 'Why do I want to be a superhero?' And I always answered, 'I want to save people.' And they thought it was a cute answer, and now here I am trying out for the Seven." Starlight said
Meanwhile back in New York, Hughie and his dad came back
to their house from Robin's funeral, Hugh Sr. Hughie's dad tried to make small talk with his son trying to comfort him in his time. As Hugh Sr. turns the TV on and there is a report about what happened to Robin.
Hughie was still upset about losing Robin and he wanted to get payback for what happened to her.
He sat with his arms crossed still trying to process the grief he was suffering from.
"I thought Robin's service was nice." Hugh said to his son who was still in emotional turmoil, about losing someone to a superhero, "Did you see how many people came?" He also tried to cheer up Hughie.
Hugh also talked more about how many people were there and also about the spread of the service, but a representative of Vought International came on along with A-Train the representative Madelyn Stillwell began to speak on behalf of A-Train.
"That does not begin to convey the terrible regret…"
"Aw geez, maybe there might be a movie on." Hugh said trying to change the channel, but Hughie insisted on keeping it on the news.
"No, keep it." Hughie said, since he wanted to hear what A-Train had to say about him killing Robin.
"No, we can switch it." Hugh said trying to lighten the mood but Hughie refused.
"Keep it." Hughie said, and it stayed on the news.
and the only thing that the speedster supe could do is offer his condolences to the family of the victim saying and I quote "My deepest condolences to Robin Ward's family. She stood in the middle of the road when he was chasing an armored truck that was being robbed." That infuriated Hughie as he snapped,
"Her foot was halfway from the curb and you ran into her!"
Just then a doorbell rang as his father Hugh Campbell Sr. answered the door and it turned out it was a representative from Vought International. It turned out that Vought wanted to settle the accidental death that happened to Robin for $45,000, and trust me that is nothing to sneeze at.
He couldn't bring himself to do it, in his mind, he snapped at the representative and told him that no one could tell him that "They're sorry for what happened to Robin." And also in his deeply repressed thoughts, he grabbed the guy and told him "Get the hell out of my house." But it turns out he chose to not sign the NDA but offered to just think about it.
So the representative then handed Hughie a card in case he had any questions.
So later in the day, Hughie was trying to find a way to stick something to A-Train since Robin's foot was halfway from the curb.
But he was looking to get something, but getting something stuck to a supe, but that's like sticking a post it note on a moving vehicle that's going 85 miles an hour.
[Meanwhile at an empty apartment complex]
Revy was angrily tossing darts at a picture of Homelander since she isn't going to forgive the supe for destroying the Yellow Flag.
"I swear to fucking God, I am going to kill that stars and stripes asshole for what he did to the Yellow Flag." Revy hissed as she threw a dart and hit the right eye of the Homelander's picture.
"Oi, if anyone is going to kill that fucking cunt, it's gonna be me." Butcher insisted as Revy drew out her Sword Cutlass and pointed the pistol at Butcher's forehead.
"Like hell you will! What the fuck did that man take from you?!" Revy snapped, as Dutch grabbed a hold of the gun before Revy had a chance to fire off a bullet.
"Revy, put the gun away, we're supposed to work with Butcher here." Dutch said, but then Rock began analyzing the dossiers of the Members of the Seven and Benny came out with a new Dossier and The Seven's newest member Annie January AKA Starlight.
"Wait a second, did they make a change for a supe?" Rock asked, studying the Dossier of Starlight.
"And it turns out she's making her grand debut today." Benny said as he then pulled up an image onto his laptop showing a meeting of the shareholders as they were going to bring in their newest member of the Seven and it seems that they had these superheroes as pawns and P.R. items in a sadistic game of capitalism.
There they brought out The Deep first since he is the hero of the seven seas and you could say he is like either Namor or Aquaman depending on which comics you are reading, but this is The Boys we're talking about here.
"Dutch, let's go get our man." Butcher said as he and Dutch exited the room.
[After the premiere of Starlight and in the Vought International building…]
Starlight was standing in the office of The Seven as she knew that she finally moved up in the world, she knew that this was a dream come true, but that dream was soon going to unfold into a nightmare.
"So you're finally a part of The Seven now." The Deep said, trying to make small talk with Starlight, and the two began to make a bit of small conversation and get to know one another.
"Well yeah, I mean it's always been my dream of becoming a superhero ever since I was a little girl." Starlight answered still a little awkward about her having a conversation with The Deep.
"I mean I betcha you had a poster of The Homelander on your wall and you idolized him." Said The Deep, but it wasn't The Homelander she had a poster of that inspired her to be a superhero.
"Actually, it's not The Homelander, it was actually you, since I had a childhood crush on you." Starlight confessed, and at this moment, she was about to regret saying it.
The Deep then began pulling down his pants as Starlight was about to lose it seeing his cock.
"What are you doing?!" Starlight asked as it made her feel uncomfortable.
"You really want to have a seat here in the Seven? Then you're going to have to blow me. Since you had a childhood crush on me." The Deep answered and we then changed scenes where Starlight was retching into a toilet as she was overcome with disgust about what she did to The Deep.
As soon as she stepped out of the stall, that is where she meets another female superhero, Queen Maeve.
Maeve then hands Starlight a handkerchief as she then says…
"Clean yourself up, you don't want them to see you like this."
Maeve was doing her makeup as Starlight ran back into the stall she was using and puked more as it turns out that Translucent was in the bathroom using his power to spy on Maeve and Starlight.
[Later that night at the appliance store…]
Hughie was watching an interview between Jimmy Fallon and Translucent and Translucent was explaining his abilities and how his powers work, it turns out his skin can bend light making it look like he is invisible, but it's only skin level and he has to take off his clothes in order to make sure no one see him since seeing him in clothes gives him away and his skin is covered in a carbon which is super conductive to electricity.
Just then both Butcher and Dutch walked into the appliance store as they began looking around and Butcher began holding what looked like a simple teddy bear but it was actually a nanny cam.
"Are you looking for a nanny cam? We're running a special on those since that is a very popular one, the cameras are in the eyes." Hughie said, and Butcher began to share the bear.
"So tell me, how many nannies shake their babies? Like getting ketchup from a bottle. 1%? Less than that?" Butcher asked, and Dutch had his eyes on the door making sure no one was there.
"All clear." Dutch said, as he joined Hughie and Butcher. "You must be Hughie Campbell, we were there when Robin was killed by A-Train." Dutch said as he then pulled out a forged FBI badge as Butcher then showed his badge as well.
"My name is Dutch, and this is my associate Billy Butcher. We're here to help you with trying to get some payback for what happened to Robin." Dutch said, and Hughie was baffled by what they were planning on doing.
So the three men decided to go out of the appliance store and decided to go for a walk in the New York City night, the streets were lit up with billboards and ads all containing at least one Super Hero from The Seven.
"You see Hughie, people rely on the supes to keep their hands clean and they are not only a part of a capitalist society, they are also pawns of a political gain as well, and that's where Dutch and I come in." Butcher said, and this just baffled Hughie.
"Come in for what?" Hughie asked, and Butcher smirked as he simply replied…
"We spank the bastards when they get out of line."
"How do you spank a superhero?" Hughie asked redundantly, but Dutch and Butcher began walking.
"Come with us and you'll find out." Dutch said, and this was starting to get an itch that Hughie is desperately needing to scratch.
"Where are we going?" Hughie asked, but Butcher then said.
"You'll find out and you'll love it."
"Actually I might not, I just need to get back to work." Hughie said, when he was about to head back to the appliance store he worked at, but then Dutch added this…
"Once we go, we're gone, let's go Butcher."
Both Butcher and Dutch began walking away and Hughie started having second thoughts, until he decided to join the two men.
[Scene changes to a door where Butcher knocks on it…]
"Harry, got your message, thank you for being an upstanding citizen." Butcher said as the bouncer of the door knew who Butcher was.
"This is just police brutality, you know what they would do to me if I let you in here." The bouncer Harry said, and Butcher was quick with his wit.
"You know what I would do if you didn't." Butcher replied and the bouncer grunted as he slid the shutter and unlocked and opened the door for the three men.
Butcher and Dutch went through the door whereas Hughie was standing there like a bump on a log as both Butcher and Dutch grabbed him by the back of the shirt and yanked him into the nightclub.
Inside the nightclub there were a mix of normal people and supes looking to unwind after a long day of battling villains and other bad guys and there was a couple that were having sex in midair and they were both completely naked.
"Pick your jaw up off the floor, and try to blend in." Butcher said and the trio of men began to go deeper into the club.
"So this place is where Supes go to unwind without all the paparazzi huh?" Dutch asked, and that's when they found one supe that was supposed to be a man of faith and he has chosen to unwind by letting out his homosexuality. The false man of god stretched himself to the other side of the aisle as he sat himself next to two men and began making out with one and had his arms wrapped around both.
"Wait, that's Ezeikel, I thought he was supposed to be a man of God." Hughie stated.
"And now he is the meat in the manwich, fucking hypocrite." Butcher said, and the men made it to the surveillance room as the man operating the monitors pulled up a film of where A-Train was.
"Wait a second he's here?" Hughie asked, and he really wanted to get his hands on A-Train for what he did to Robin.
"Was, this was from yesterday, turn it up for him." Butcher said to the surveillance operator who turned the volume up for Hughie to hear what A-Train had to say…
"You know, I really got to say, that was real fun just running through a girl like that, and I had one of her molars hit me like a bug hitting a windshield on a highway." A-Train bragged, and this just infuriated Hughie.
"So are you just going to let a punk like A-Train talk smack about your dead girlfriend and let him get away with it?" Dutch asked, but Hughie knew that this was his big break.
That was when they hatched a plan, and this is where Hughie came in, the plan was simple, he had to get a meeting with a personal apology from A-Train, and he planted a bug inside Vought International and Butcher can collect as much information as he can on The Seven.
So Hughie called the number and decided to personally sign the NDA along with "Accept" the check for $45,000 along with meeting A-Train in person for a personal apology for what happened to Robin.
The next day, in front of Vought International…Butcher, Dutch, and Hughie had to go over the plan of what was going to go down, and it was simple. Hughie had the bug hidden inside his phone case, he goes into the bathroom, takes the adhesive off of the device, plants the bug under the desk of The Seven, and pulls out before anyone could get suspicious of him.
"It's like that scene in 'The Matrix,' now you can take the red pill and spend the rest of your life jacking off and crying into your chai tea green latte, or you can take the blue pill, or was it the red one? I don't really know." Butcher said, I take it that Butcher hasn't seen the Matrix, you take the blue pill and spend your days pretending everything is okay and live the rest of your life like this, or you can take the red pill and see how far the rabbit hole goes.
"Okay so which pill do you want me to take, like what is the point of this?" Hughie asked, and as if the writing wasn't clearly obvious…
"The point is, don't be a fucking cunt." Butcher said and Hughie went into the building where he stepped through a metal detector and the detector went off.
"Uh sir, we're going to need you to empty your pockets please, company standards." The Security guard notified, and Hughie stepped back through the detector.
So he pulled out some keys and a phone, then he stepped through again with no sound and the security guard had a wand waving it over Hughie as he took his phone and keys and went to The Seven's main office.
While he was waiting in the main office, that was when he met with A-Train, and he had a flash of Robin's blood all over him and he suffered a bit of shell shock from it.
"I hope this face to face proves no such form of guilt and he is sorry for what has happened to Robin Ward, and A-Train hopes you can find his sympathy for what happened to you appealing and sign on the dotted line." The representative said, and then Hughie asked…
"Can I use your bathroom?"
While Hughie was in the bathroom, he pulled out his phone and began to take the case off which contained the bug inside, but Hughie being a bit of a nervous wreck that he began to shake knowing that this whole plan hinged on him doing this for Butcher and Dutch.
As soon as he took the case off of his phone, he accidentally dropped the bug knowing that if a supe found it then the plan might as well be going tits up.
So he began reaching for it and that was when Starlight walked in as she was still haunted by what happened between her and The Deep, she then began to do her make up and she didn't even notice the bug that was laying on the floor.
But she walked past it, not even giving it a single thought, so Hughie grabbed the listening bug before anyone else noticed.
But it seems that there was a supe that noticed, it was Translucent, and he knew what was going on.
As soon as Hughie got back to The Seven's main office, he then placed the listening bug underneath the desk, signed the NDA and took the $45,000 check.
So Butcher drove Hughie back to the Appliance store knowing that both that was the only thing he needed from Hughie, but Hughie wanted to do more, because he had the ambition of wanting to help Butcher and punish the supes that got out of line.
"What are we doing here?" Hughie asked, and he was curious about why he was going back to his old job.
"You have to go back to work." Butcher said, knowing that planting the bug was all that he needed.
"You know I can do more, like be on surveillance, like, 'There's a guy down the hall second door on the left' and all that stuff." Hughie insisted, but Butcher didn't want Hughie getting involved.
"Nah, that's all I really need from you really. I'll take it from here." Butcher insisted, but then Hughie had one more thing he wanted to show Butcher before he took off.
"Hey, have you ever seen someone tear a $45,000 check?" Hughie asked as he literally tore the $45,000 check in half and tossed both halves onto the street.
"Hughie, you're a good lad." Butcher complimented as he drove away.
Later that night Hughie was lost in thought as his boss Gary asked if he was going to close up the store and Hughie said he would.
As soon as Gary walked out of the store, the store bell rang as someone walked.
"Sorry, we're about to close up." Hughie stated, and no one was there and he looked around, but it turns out someone was there, but he can't be exactly seen.
Hughie looked around and then he stupidly asked…
"Hello?"
Just then a punch landed on his face, even though he couldn't see his attacker, he knew that he could feel the blow that landed on his face.
"Who are you working for?" A familiar voice asked, and he looked around but no one was visible, and the attacker Translucent grabbed Hughie's lanyard as he then read his name tag.
"Like I asked you before Hughie, who are you working for?" Translucent asked as he placed the listening bug onto the counter since he knew about it.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Hughie lied and Translucent grabbed Hughie as he then threw Him across the store and grabbed one of the TVs off of the wall and was about to slam it onto Hughie with the intent to kill him.
Just then a car came plowing through the store as both Butcher and Dutch appeared as they were going to whoop some supe ass.
"Sorry about the mess Hughie." Butcher said and Hughie was about to head for the emergency exit, but something inside of him chose to help Butcher and Dutch since they both were getting their asses kicked by Translucent.
Hughie then grabbed an exposed cord where the TV was when Translucent tore it off of the wall, he tried reaching Translucent and zapping him in the ass, but the cord was too short.
Translucent then grabbed Butcher's signature crowbar and was about to use it on both Butcher and Dutch
"You're going to tell me who you work for, or I'll bash all your brains in." Translucent said as he then spun the crowbar around with his sights set on Butcher.
Dutch then punched Translucent as he grabbed Dutch and tossed him into a wall.
And he began to turn his sights back on Butcher as Butcher had a mouthful of blood which was going to help pinpoint where Translucent was, so Butcher threw two punches and Translucent caught both of his arms.
And as soon as Translucent caught Butcher, he spat blood onto Translucent and Dutch catching a second wind charged his right shoulder into the back of Translucent's left leg as Butcher slammed his foot into Translucent's crotch giving the invisible supe a tumble back into Hughie as he put the exposed electrical cord into Translucent's left ass cheek electrocuting the supe causing him to fall to the ground.
"Translucent doesn't mean 'invisible,' it means 'semi transparent.' How did you know about the electrical cord trick?" Butcher asked, and Hughie told him that his skin was covered in a carbon based element that he saw on Jimmy Fallon.
"Let's pop him into the trunk. Cops will be showing up soon." Dutch said as popped the trunk of the car and both Butcher and Dutch both got Translucent into the trunk.
As soon as Translucent was in the trunk of the car, Butcher pulled out of the store with an idea of who would be able to help him out.
[To Be Continued…]
(A/N: Okay this took me awhile to do this and I have watched all 3 seasons of The Boys and now I am rewatching it, and I am trying to do this with the intent to try to get some crazy ass shenanigans for not only The Boys but also Lagoon company as well. Also if people are going to bitch to me about this being a retelling of The Boys, or that I am adding OCs, I can assure you I am not using OCs, but if I am name them and I can assure you that said character is either from The Boys or from Black Lagoon. But as for the former, go cry to a wall and see if it can talk back to you for all I care, this is the kind of style I like to work with when I write. But anyway guys, let me know what you think, feel free to fave and follow if you can, it would mean so much to me if you did and I will also try to come up with more creative ways for both the Supes and our rag tag group of anti-heroes to face off. So until the next chapter, this is the master of chaos, the commander of the legion of corpses, BloodyDemon666 signing off!)
