The boys
Coral
14
Coral was born two minutes before her brother, which meant she spent her entire life being technically older and infinitely more disappointed. The doctors called it a miracle—twins with identical, ocean-bent abilities.
Their parents called it a blessing. Vought called it a two-for-one deal. Coral called it a bad investment.
She learned early that fish were better company than people. Fish don’t lie. Fish don’t smile for cameras. Fish don’t sell you out for a contract and a nicer zip code. Her brother adapted to all of that—thrived in it, even. He polished himself into something marketable, something applauded, something hollow enough to float.
Coral didn’t adapt. Coral listened.
She listened to whales mourning in long, aching songs, to reefs dying quietly, to oceans suffocating under human convenience. Down there, the truth wasn’t dressed up. It didn’t pretend. And it made one thing very clear: the real monsters weren’t in the deep.
They were on land.
They wore capes. They smiled on cue. They called it heroism.
So Coral left before she could become one of them. While her brother chased validation like it might one day love him back, she vanished beneath the surface long enough to decide she’d rather be angry than owned.
Joining the Boys wasn’t noble. It wasn’t heroic. It was personal.
Because if there’s one thing Coral hates more than Vought, more than Homelander, more than the whole rotting system—
It’s her brother thinking this is all okay.
She doesn’t want to kill him.
That would be mercy.
Coral wants something worse.
She’s going to make him understand.
