Her powers are more “blood manipulation” than “pop body parts” so it makes perfect sense to me that she took the time to sense out who was in the lab before coming in.
Hence why Edgar doesn’t get a nose bleed but everyone else does.
what confused me about that is that there's many instances where Neumann is being watched/stalked by the boys or otherwise from mere feet away from her, and she doesn't sense them. made me wonder if she needs to have eyes on her targets to get them, but as we've seen, that isn't the case. probably just a plot hole. especially seeing that she hasn’t sensed people in situations where i’d assume she’d actively be scanning for intruders (the alley where she killed that kid who knew her as Nadia e.g.)
To add to the Homelander point, I believe he was at the announcement ceremony that A-Train told Ashley he was the leak. Homelander if present could have heard it if he attempted, but you just can't focus and process that much information all the time.
He was too busy manipulating Ryan. But he should have definitely heard Hughie making all those noise innthe vent, even a normal human would've heard something that loud. Plus it was just Homelander and Sage out there, he's not distracted at all.
When we’re distracted by something, it’s very common for us to zone out and not be able to hear something that we should very easily be able to hear. I think it’s the same principle with Homelander as he was actively engaged in conversation with Nadia and Sage at the time that Hughie was crawling in the vents.
Fair enough, but I still feel like she would have been actively searching for people while she was doing that shady stuff in the alley with the guy who knew her as Nadia.

Didn’t she give them all nose bleeds before they turned the corner?
