"I think I know who can help us find this weapon." Says Annie and everyone turns to her.
"Who?" Asks MM.
"Diamond Queen."
"Noir's twin sister?" Butcher asks and takes a step forward while squinting his eyes. "Nobody's heard from her since 9/11 when she redirected the plane that was intended to hit the Pentagon."
"Yeah, she is a national hero for that b-but im sorry what does she have to do with Soldier Boy? I mean Noir is her brother and all so she had to have met him at some point but I don't see how she could help." Says Hughie.
"She can help us because she was Soldier Boy's fiancé." Maeve's voice pierces through the air and they all look at her.
"What about Crimson Countess?" Asks Frenchie.
"All an act by Vought, just like when me and Homelander were together," Maeve responds.
"This is huge why are we just finding out about this?" Hughie asks in complete shock. MM sighs and cracks his knuckles.
"Because. Don't think the world or really Vought wanted to see the Golden Son with a black woman, even if she is a supe."
"Vought doesn't mess with her, they give her what she wants and leave her alone, in turn, she won't mind control all of them and tell them to jump off a building." Maeve finishes and Kimiko taps Frenchies shoulder and signs,
Who's Diamond Queen?
"Oh yes. Uh her name is Y/n L/n, her skin turns to Diamonds so it makes makes her impenetrable. But when she isn't diamonds her skin is like Translucents. Her telepathy is dangerous, it's even rumored that she could control every mind in New York and make them do her bidding. As for her telekinesis, it's strong enough to stop a crashing plane coming at full speed." Frenchie whispers to Kimiko and she takes in every word.
They knew they needed the weapon that killed Soldier Boy but they were underpowered and getting desperate. So they all collectively agreed that Diamond Girl was their best chance.
"Now let's go pay the telepath a visit?"
-
You sensed a large group of people the second they stepped foot on your property. You had a nice house on your own property, a courtesy from Vought
Three were normal, two were supes, and one who you couldn't get a grip of what you were sensing. Their thoughts were loud.
What if she's dead?
What if she doesn't even want to hear us out and makes us slit our throats for even asking? It wouldn't be the first time.
What if she wasn't engaged to Soldier Boy?
The mention of your old lover made you drop the dish you were washing. There was no way they could know about that. You felt like you couldn't move like you were trapped in your mind. You were brought out of it due to the loud banging on your door. You wiped your hands on your pants and shakily walked to the door.
You opened the door and the man you instantly knew as William Butcher appeared.
"William Butcher." You looked at him and them behind him. "Hugh Campbell. Marvin Milk. Starlight. I've seen you all on TV but I don't know your names." You pointed at the man and the Asian girl, with the slightest twitch of your eye. You smiled. "Serge, or Frenchie, and you are Kimiko."
"Fascinating." Says Frenchie and crosses his arms.
"What do you want?" You ask and swallow, already knowing the answer.
"We need your help," Hughie says and you bit your inner cheek.
"You don't need me." You say and start to close the door but Butcher stops it
"We have a plan to take down Homelander." At the mention of the man's name, your breath hitches.
"Nobody can kill Homelander."
"That's the same thing they said about your fiancé's love." You froze and your jaw slacked.
"H-How did y-you-."
"I know a lot do things, just like I know that you know your lover didn't just die from a nuclear bomb." You glare at the Australian before opening the door and walking away. They took the invitation to come in and all piled in your house. You sat down and looked at the kitchen and swirled your fingers. Everyone watched a tray lift and cups move out of the cupboard. From there the refrigerator opened and a water filter came out and started filling up the cups.
"Why do you want from me?"
"We need you to work your magic and get us to Russia." Says Butcher and a small tray with a teakettle a cup and an assortment of teas floated towards him.
"What's in Russia?" There was a deep breath that came from Annie.
"The weapon that killed Soldier Boy."
"I can find minds, not weapons." The tray of cups of water set itself on the coffee table and everyone grabbed one, besides Butcher.
"We need your mind magic and get us to Russia." MM chimes in.
"How?"
"There is a woman who I have a history with. Bad history. She can get us a plane to Russia but she is proving to be a bit difficult." Frenchie responds.
"What's in it for me?"
"Justice for your former future hubby." You let out a loud scoff before chuckling, confusing everyone there.
"You think I want justice for that son of a bitch after what he did?" They all looked at each other not knowing what to think. "I'll do this to help you kill Homelander, me and Noir talk so I know what he does. But not for Soldier Boy."
"Well just as long as it gets done, I don't care who you're doing it for."
-
You got 'Little Nina' to arrange a plane for 'The Boys' as they have been calling themselves.
You kept this deal away from your brother, making sure that he wouldn't find out about Butcher or the others being at your house.
After Noir's 'accident' and he lost his ability to talk. You had built a connection between the two of you so you could communicate wherever you were(as long as both of you were in an acceptable range) and whenever.
Quite literal Twin Telepathy.
You watched The Boys begin to board the plane. You had to make sure everything went smoothly with Little Nina's men. But just as you were about to leave, Hughie stopped you.
"Hey Diamond Queen, can I ask you a personal question?"
"Oh, Hughie please don't call me that, that name and life is behind me. And no you may not but I know you are regardless."
"Oh sorry. Well, I just wanted to know what Soldier Boy did to you that made you hate him so much?" You crossed your arms and swallowed.
"He did something unforgivable and after he disappeared, sure I was sad but it opened my eyes to see how much of a dick he really was. Good luck to you all."
-
You haven't heard anything from any of The Boys since they left and it's already been a couple of days. You couldn't deny that getting brought back to anything Ben-related gave you memories. The good and the bad.
You had almost nothing left from Ben from your time together. Just a small box of pictures and tickets from events you had gone to together. Anything else that was his was given to The Legend, including your engagement ring.
Queenie, your Sphinx cat jumped onto the couch with you and crawled onto your lap. She purred and stretched, digging her nails into your thigh. You brought your hand behind her ears and started to scratch them, letting her blue eyes slowly close.
"Ben would've hated you." You said with a smile.
-
You're not sure how you missed someone walking onto your property. The knocking on your door startled you. You sent Queenie to her hiding spot and walked up to the door and peeked through the peephole.
It was just Hughie and Butcher. You let out a sigh of relief and opened the door.
"Hey, what's-."
"Hey, beautiful." The voice that interrupted you made you freeze. You slowly turned your head to the man and your jaw tightened.
“Ben?” Hughie and Butcher stepped back as Ben stepped forward. You looked up at him and your eyes started going glossy. “How are you here?”
“Those guys.” Ben pointed over to the two men who were off to the side. “I thought about you every day. I was worried you were gone after all this time and holy hell baby you’re still as beautiful as the day I lost you.” Ben’s hands found themselves on your face and his thumbs wiped away your tears. You let out a shuddering breath and your hands found themselves on his chest.
Ben started to lean in but he felt his body get launched back. He went through the porch railings and tumbled through the grass until he hit a tree.
“WHAT THE FUCK.”

The Boys: Frenchie Theory
There is a theory on Twitter regarding Frenchie that actually makes sense, but I hope isn’t true. I’m putting that under the cut.
Frenchie dies.
Evidence:
Kimiko wanting to go to his home town, but he keeps putting it off. The idea is that she goes there after he dies.
Tomer Capon not being in the season 4 announcement.
Tomer Capon not doing a lot of press for season 3.
Kimiko nearly dying, but his dying would be on par with the way these plots are written.
Karen mentioned in an interview that the last scene (and the hardest scene to film) she shot with Tomer was as scene where Kimiko and Frenchie could see one another, but could not reach one another. Could he be dying, but she can’t get to him to save him?
For me, one, four, and five are the best evidence. There may be reasons that Tomer wasn’t in the announcement. A couple of other regular cast members weren’t there either. It could also be a red herring. Same with 3 - he may be busy.
Counter Evidence:
Reviewers, who have seen the whole season, half discussed that their storyline is the heart of the season or that it is slow or it’s frustrating for fans of the couple, and the show better ‘fix’ things in the next season. That suggest that they either aren’t physically together at the end of the season (a kidnapping? a ‘I’m leaving for your/my own good’) or a rife in the relationship. Kimiko’s ‘I’m here because you are’ and ‘It’s you and me’ could be foreshadowing this.
Kimiko may find her voice this season, but if she doesn’t - no one knows her language.
While Kimiko has friendships with Hughie and M.M. she isn’t close enough with them to stay. Would her season 4 story be revenge? That would most certainly be taking a step back from her character development.
While the show is very different from the comics, it would feel out of place for Frenchie to die at this point. His death wouldn’t serve a true purpose. Reviewers have stated that his story (and Kimiko’s) is away from the others. Also, the two bring something that puts the whole season together. Who would kill him away from the main story?
With Kimiko not having powers at the moment - wouldn’t that be the story?
I’m sure there are other things.
What do you think - is Frenchie dying in the next four episodes?
