[ Homelander knows he's too late to save Translucent before he even kicks down the door. He could hear the last moments of him trying to plead for his life with someone whose voice he didn't recognize, followed by the unmistakable sound of a human body being blown to smithereens.

He treads carefully, not wanting to get any bits of his dearly departed colleague on the bottom of his boots, and then he sees the kid standing there absolutely drenched in blood, still holding the detonator in one hand.

His eyes flash red as he contemplates lasering him - by all means, he should cut him in half and be done with it. But this guy's heart is racing faster than a frightened rabbit, and even under that thick layer of gore he just doesn't seem like the type to have single-handedly murdered a supe as strong as Translucent. He doesn't even seem like the ringleader.

If he lasered Hughie now, he'd be leaving a lot of loose ends behind, and he wasn't fond of that. Alright, he'll play it civil, see where this goes. ]

Is that a detonator in your hand?

[ He damn well knows what it is, and he looks around at all the blood and guts with his arms behind his back and his best 'I'm not mad, just disappointed' face. ]
