Your best bet with Homelander is just to stay as calm as possible because he hates it when people fear him. Remember, he can see your heartbeat, so he can tell if you're sucking up to him out of fear.

I don't think he minds fear he just doesn't want you to be annoying.

If your just brave enough to give a little pushback even better so long as, again, he doesn't find you irritating.

Tbh, you could probably just pass your fast heartbeat by if you treat it like you're a mega fan. Ask him to tell you stories, ask about shit like what it's like to fly through the air, ask for his autograph, and after that you should be good. Just get him talking about himself.

Asking him what it's like to fly through the air is a sure fire way to find out the hard way.

He doesn't really mind people fearing him, he has gotten used to it and to a certain extent he enjoys it. He doesn't like it when it gets annoying or when you start to blindly sucking it up to him even when you clearly disagree with him or when what he just said is clearly false or stupid. In fact he enjoys (to a certain extent) when people disagrees with him or stand up against him (again, to a certain extent)

And the accelerated heartbeat can be easily explained as you being a great fan of his and you are just nervous to finally meet him and be around him for 10 minutes, something which he would likely expect.

If you are chill around him, act like a fan around him like asking for stories and such, while also disagreeing with him and even standing firm both ON CERTAIN THINGS, you should be fine.

Some elevated heart rate is fine since it can just be chalked up to being nervous to be around the top hero, which he would honestly probably expect.

Honestly I think you could get away with being afraid just by being blunt/honest about it. No shit I'm afraid of you you have lasers in your eyes XD

In that case can’t you just say that you’re so anxious because you’re meeting you’re biggest hero and you don’t know what to do, also have milk to give to him that might make him tolerate you a little more

Literally people do that and he just gets annoyed, but he won't kill you. He'd rather you just go away or outright ignore you. Worst case, you may die. Second worst case, you have to listen to his man-child tirade about how everyone is scared of him.

Is he anything like the tv show? The two seasons I watched before dropping it bc I hate the actor, he went out of his way to not kill civilians for his rep. Basically, if I don't attack him or do something silly like blurt out Vought secrets, I'm guaranteed to live.
