A-Train's already on edge thanks to Homelander and Sister Sage. But who's to say his scheming behind the scenes won't amount to anything? The question is why did A-Train risk giving the leak to the Boys and will he get away with it? Here's what fans think.

If The Seven had any form of weakness, it's A-Train. While he may no longer be the fastest man alive, it leaves more to the imagination on what's left of his Supe powers behind the scenes. In this case, he was the leak, as he admitted to Ashley.

Homelander's continuous growing viciousness and A-Train's lack of spotlight on The Seven led him to work with the Boys, specifically after MM talked him into becoming the Boys' hidden spy.

However, with Sister Sage and Homelander determined to dig out who the Mole is among them, A-Train may be in danger. And don't be fooled into thinking he's safe because they managed to pin the leak on someone else.

Fans believe Sage is cooking up a different plan in mind.

Did He Really Get Away With It? Fans Don't Think So

A-Train and Ashley were able to pin the so-called mole on Cameron Coleman, the news anchor for Vought News Network.

This is simply because A-Train and Ashley made a pact to keep each other's secrets from The Seven. And the fact that Coleman and Ashley are not exactly on good terms already makes him worth blaming for the leak.

Now, The Seven took turns in beating up Coleman, but does this really mean the end of it? Does A-Train get away with it in The Boys?

Fans are quite skeptical about this part, especially since Sister Sage, supposedly the world's smartest woman, is present. Well, fans have a theory that Sister Sage knows and plans to rat out A-Train soon enough.

One fan noted to think about the possible content of the diary Sage handed over to Tek Knight at the beginning of the scene. That's got to mean something, no?

Keep in mind that while Sister Sage doesn't seem to have caught on A-Train, she previously orchestrated a trap for Butcher and Mother's Milk by pretending she was not aware they had been following her around while recruiting Firecracker.

She could be orchestrating the same thing with A-Train's fate, seeing as their interests don't align anymore, anyway. Let's just say A-Train may have to figure out a way to get rid of the evidence that he had something to do with it. Soon.
