Especially when it involves a member of The Seven, Jack from Jupiter dark secret of liking to be anally penetrated from pre-op transgender prostitutes is exposed on TV. Resulting in him being kicked out of the team and disappearing from the public eye.
What happen was that Jack was slowly eviscerated by Butcher, wielding a big ass Bowie knife. After the news hit The Seven confronted The Boys about them leaking the video. Homelander using his powers as a lie detector found that the Boys had nothing to do with it, with Jack flying off pissed off. The Boys found Butcher's dog Terror dead and couldn't be brought back to life after Butcher tried using the Revive Potion on Terror that can bring anything back to life if the body is intact and it's recent. But too much time had already passed with Terror's body already cold, Butcher went after Jack.

Equestria -
With the gateway open to Earth home of the legendary heroine Megan Williams, a travel hub was quickly built to handle the traffic between worlds. The hub is modeled after a large airport where people and cargo come and go. The humans handled their side and the equestrians handled their side, Sunset took Australian level screening, to make sure that any invasive species wouldn't be able to make Equestria their new home. Which is why the hub is located in the worst part of the San Palamino Desert so that any invasive species that do get in, would have to survive the desert first.
There's also the colony of Tatzlwurm which are massive, worm-like creature. They have a tripartite jaw and a maw containing black tentacles that catches their prey with little means of escape though it is particularly vulnerable to magic. Which is why the area that the hub is built is empty, as it's their main nesting ground. The hub is built on a mesa that's solid rock that prevents the tatzlwurms from getting up on the mesa.
The only safe way off the mesa is by air with the mesa having anti magic shields around it to prevent anyone from teleporting or opening a portal within the field. Airships handle both people and the cargo that comes and goes from the hub, there is also a floating monorail that takes people and cargo from the hub to the nearest town of San Palamino. Where people from Earth can travel to other parts of Equestria, resulting in a great amount of wealth being created by both sides of the portal.
In Canterlot Castle the new ruler of the ponies, queen Sunset is reading reports and signing documents that need her approval. With all the changes she has done and cutting off the fat, with the useless agencies and departments in the government gone, she could actually get things done. Unlike the US government that has its sheer size and so many spiecal interest, allowing corruption and other problems to happen, Equestria is a monarchy with her in charge.
The political elites of the human world, soon learned that how they did things in their world just doesn't work in Equestria. The pony political elites have all been fired for incompetences, not needed, and just a waste of money, some of the old government workers had no idea what they were suppose to do and just sat behind a desk all day. The government under Celestia was just so useless that the only reason it didn't fell under its own complacency was that the world is just that peaceful. (1)
The new ministers and delegations of the pony world are now chosen by how well they work and not by who they know or what noble house they're from. With her having to deal with business people and politicians looking to use her to make them look good of the human world, Sunset was more then experienced enough to handle the pony ones. And that besides her, there is only her aunt Luna who could take over the rule of the kingdom and without a ruler, the ponies would break up into tribes again.
Currently she's talking with the senator Caroline Jacket of Wyoming.
"Unlike you humans, we never saw any problem with same sex relationships or gender identity. The magic to change one's gender has been used for thousands of years and completely safe. Anyone from Earth is more than welcome to have their gender change," Sunset said.
"That maybe but groups are protesting about the gender changing magic. If you allow the exports of potions that change genders, it will ruin the values of America," Jacket was saying but was cut off.
"Jacket, please remember, I'm no longer a citizen of the US. I'm the head of state of my own kingdom and unlike you, I don't have to worry about elections. As for values, they change and clinging to the old ones when the new generation don't care for them, is a losing battle. You will die, and the younger generation will just replace the values you pretend to care about to get votes, with something new. I will not stop the exports and you can stand in the in way, and be remember as that. I will be around long after people have forgotten about you," Sunset said hanging up,
"You are different from your mother," Discord said from the screen of her computer.
"Shouldn't you be trolling gamers?" Sunset ask.
"I'm taking a break," Discord said.
Since the opening of the portal, and being able to interact with the humans, Discord has become a gamer. Going into videogame worlds and especially online games with hundreds of gamers all over the world, and trolling them. Which is better than him making it rain chocolate or anything else he does.
"At least with video games to keep you busy, you can cause as much chaos as you want without it harming people. And keep it that way. I don't need you going and messing around in the human world. With what you can do, sooner or later it will attract unwanted attention. Don't need to deal with super advanced alien races or cosmic beings," Sunset said.
"You know, I do find it funny that all the heroes from Earth are all fakes," Discord said.
"Tell me about it. Some do try while others are just celebrities with powers," Sunset said.
"And that most of your adventures are fakes as well," Discord said.
"I would say about half of them are, while the ones with the supervillains are painted with board strokes. But the one with Grogar is true, expanded and details changed but he did return and it's how I have the rainbow now," Sunset said.
"Yes the most powerful magical weapon the ponies ever had," Discord said.
"Williams was just a cowgirl and not skilled in magic. All she ever did was unleash it and let it do its own thing. Only when the bridge was gone did she learned to use it right. She was all set to become a superhero when the accident happened and she died," Sunset said.
A call ranged out and Sunset look at the phone ID and saw it's coming from the hub.

Equestria Estates -
With Alicorn now too busy ruling her kingdom, the estate fell onto the hands of Becky Rockler her secretary and friend, who has known all about Alicorn being a magical pony princess. Who is legally in charge of the estate to make sure that there is no loopholes for anyone to use to try to get control of the brand and has moved into the manor, now that Alicorn is gone. Coco Diablo the costume designer also the other person who knew that Alicorn is the real deal, has also stayed but is now have tons of people all wanting her to design clothes for them. Thanks to her being the personal designer for Alicorn a real magical princess, her name is now huge in the designer world.
The Super Dupers are still at the park and still working there, their popularity has boomed as well. Alicorn is still their main benefactor as they have new tools from Alicorn to help them out in keeping the park safe. Alicorn has sent a few of the old pony guards who actually showed some promise, over to the estate to learn from the Super Dupers, to learn how to actually do their jobs.
As for the Dazzlings with them being able to travel back to Equestria for the first time in thousands of years, they are now once again taking some down time to see how much has change since they been home and talk with some of the long lived friends that are still around. As for their record company, Crystal Mountain Records, is now handling the brands that they managed. With some of the brands doing tours in Equestria, to spread human music around.
In what was Alicorn's office, Becky is busy as usual reading through the documents and emails sent to her. Currently she's looking over the budget that Alicorn has put aside for repairs, which surprisingly is used very often thanks to attacks from villains from Equestria that somehow showed up on Earth.
The door open as her secretary Keesha Franklin who worked with her before the promotion, enters the room with a scared look on her face.
"Becky the news channel," Keesha said.

Lost Springs, Wyoming -
Homelander flew high in the sky above the burning building that housed the portal machine. With the portal machine destroyed, thanks to the rock he threw from high above, there is no way for Alicorn to stop his plan. She was the only one that stood in his way.
Homelander threw up and empty his stomach.
"My god…. What have, I done?" he said to himself realizing what he has done and can never undo.

The Boys HQ -
"So are we still operating?" Hughie ask the other members of the Boys as they all sat around the office.
"That's a good question, with Shaefer dead and Vic the Veep in charge now. He can just guy the CIA and take away our funding. But no one has heard anything yet," Butcher said.
"There is Alicorn, from what I have seen Vought has been careful not to get on her bad side. She can just blacklist them and another company can take their place," Frenchman said.
"That's the only thing they actually care about, Alicorn doesn't need them anymore. And they will lose their connection to a brand new market and ruin their reputation if they lose it," Mother's Milk said.
"Qu'est-ce, que c'est that smell," a voice from behind the front door said.
The Boys all stared at the door as red smoke rose from the cracks of the door frame. Before bursting as a team of six cyber enhance superheroes showed themselves in the doorframe.
"That's the rank smell o' JUSTICE in yer nostrils, foggy— an' All the garlic in ROME. Ain't gonna was it away. That's the smell o' now ya gotta answer to Palralactic!" the lead cyber superhero named Stopcock said.
Butcher just smirk seeing them and the others with the expectation of Hughie got their game faces on.

Author's Notes -
1 - When you think about it, Celestia only got away with being such a bad ruler and having a bad government is because the world setting of the show is that peaceful.
