Chapter Text

A blond-haired man with a white streak in the front of his hair looks at the landscape in front of him. His beautiful blue eyes scanned the fight going on in the alley in front of his living room window. He could see a bit of his reflection in the window, he was wearing a sweater with one side black and the other white, too big to be his, beige shorts and white socks. He also wore his beautiful black and white bunny slippers.

He sighed as the short curly brown haired hero, who wears a blue blindfold over his eyes, a brown trench coat, a white t-shirt, black cargo pants and dark brown knee high boots, uses his power of 'singing speech' which consists in giving an order with a singing voice (?), and the person does after what he has said. The hero was called 'Siren', a name that went quite well with his power.

The blonde came to read what Siren was saying to the bad guy in front of him, she had short pink hair and was wearing a white and gold mask similar to those found in hide balls, and a long red dress and red heels. Her name was 'Prom Queen', her power allowing her to run much faster than normal and had great agility.
Siren seemed ordered to surrender, as Prom Queen plugged her ears and smoke billowed from the sewers.
The teenager tried to see what was going on, but it was impossible with the smoke. It must have been the same with the hero Siren, because when the smoke was gone, so was Prom Queen and Siren had an angry expression.

The blond closed his curtains with a sigh as the front door to the hallway opened.
He turned around and saw a tall man, he also had long brown hair, blue eyes. He had two small horns similar to cows, but black and white and a tail on one side black and on the other white, his legs were cow legs on one side white and the other black, he also had two cow ears, one white and the other black. He had a white and black mask with a small crown on the black side. He wore a green sweater, dark blue shorts, green socks and rein shoes. Next to him was a small man with short curly brown hair, sea blue eyes, two small brown horns on the top of his head. He wore a red sweater too big to be his, along with dark green shorts, black socks and red slippers. He also had two small brown goat ears and a small brown goat tail.

"Hey Boss man !" Said the smaller one approaching the blond. "Did something happen outside ? Me and Ranboo heard a lot of noise from upstairs !" he continued.

They all lived right in a small one-story house in District 8, Manberg. The house has on the ground floor a living room, a kitchen, a toilet, a dining room, and a hallway. Upstairs was a bathroom, 4 bedrooms, a toilet and a dressing room.

"Yeah, Siren fighting Prom Queen. Like every Thursday night." Said the blonde shrugging his shoulders.

"Again ?! This is the 3rd time this has happened this month ! And again on a Thursday night !" said the smallest.

The blond laughed a little at that, it's true that it was the 3rd time in a month that the two had a fight, and always on a Thursday evening.

"Yes, but not in the same place, thankfully." Says the hybrid black and white cow -Ranboo-.

"No, it would have been better if it was always in the same place." Said the blond teenager.

"What do you mean Tommy ?" Asked the brunette intrigued by what his friend was saying.

"Well, it's simple Tubbo" Tommy began, "If they were always fighting outside our house, around the same time every Thursday night, then we could go and destroy buildings and kill people without having to worry about Siren. and Prom Queen." he explained.

Ranboo, Tommy and Tubbo were little known villains from the town of L'Manberg, they would often set fire to houses or kill people they found disrespectful.
But even being villains, it doesn't mean that the other villains liked them.
Just last week, the evil TV-HD tried to kill them while they were setting fire to a house !

"That would be useful indeed.." Tubbo said thoughtfully.

"Hey guys.." began Ranboo anxiously fiddling with his ring on his ring finger.

The three had one, they had been forced to marry last year to be able to live together, because one of the many laws of L'Manberg prohibits people from living together unless they are of the same family or married. A very stupid law according to the trio, and one of the reasons why they hate today's government/society.
Tubbo and Tommy turned their attention to him.

"I feel like blowing up a place.. But I'm not sure you'll like it..." Ranboo began as the two looked at him curiously.

-----

And here's how they ended up in this situation :

Tommy wear his villain costume consisting of a red shirt with a sleeveless beige jacket over it, black gloves that covered his hands except the tips of his fingers, black pants and black shoes, he also wears a porcelain mask white with a simple black angry face engraved on it that covered his entire face.

Tubbo also wears his villain costume which was exactly like Tommy but his shirt was green and his sleeveless shirt was black, he wore black gloves, his mask was made of black porcelain with an engraved yellow smiley face.

And Ranboo wear like Tommy and Tubbo, but his shirt was red and his sleeveless shirt was green, his gloves were white and his fingertips were black, his mask was black on one side and white on the other, he had a jaded face engraved in green on its black side and engraved in red on its white side.

The three of them were in front of the District 3 Casino, Las Nevadas, which was on fire... Why ? Because they burned it. Ranboo felt like burning down the place, so they burned it down.

They watch the casino slowly disappear in the great flames, wishing they had a drink to drink while watching this magnificent spectacle.
They heard a noise to their left, they looked up and saw the hero Poker Face. He wears a bit like them, a blue shirt, a black sleeveless shirt, white gloves, white pants and black boots. He also had a white porcelain mask with a square evening face ( :] ) in red engraved on it. He had the wealth power, which means that when he snaps his fingers, he has a thousand dollars appearing, and the trick power, which means that he can trick everywhere (example: he can make a sinkhole right in front of you and you drop in. I suck at explaining).

He seemed very upset.

It was understandable, because it was his casino that burned down.

And the trio were there, as if it were normal.

"END ! THESEUS ! OVER !" Poker Face shouted. He was about to speak more, but End/Ranboo teleported him and his friends home.

Ranboo was known as End, his power was teleportation and strength.

Tommy was known as Theseus, his power was to be able to make two large black crow wings appear on his back and replace his ears with small black wings, and to explode anything he touches with his fingertips.

Tubbo was known as Over, he could communicate through thoughts, and wield/create any type of electricity.

Ranboo had teleported them into the dressing room, he took off his mask (the shutters of the whole house were closed) he smiled madly.

"I can't believe we actually did it.." he said.

"You asked us to do it, so of course we do it Ranboob !" Tommy said with a roll of his eyes as he took off his mask.

"Too bad Poker Face wears a mask.. I wish I had seen his face when he saw his casino burning !" Tubbo said taking off his mask too.

The three continued talking as everyone changed in a corner of the room into the clothes they had worn earlier in the evening.

When they went down to the living room, they settled into their sofas and turned on the TV.

"Young villains End, Theseus, and Over allegedly struck again that night. They allegedly set fire to the casino in District 3, Las Nevadas. Here are some words from the hero Poker Face on the case," said the presenter of television.

"It's about us on TV !" Tommy said with a big smile, he was sitting in the middle of his two friends, Tubbo on his left and Ranboo on his right.

"Well, when I arrived, my casino was already burning and the villainous trio Theseus, Over and End were already there." Poker Face explained to the camera.
"What have you done ?" asked a TV presenter named Karenna.

"Who names they're child Karenna ?" Tommy asked.

"People who had an unwanted child, born of a condom with holes in it." Ranboo said.

"I don't know, but she's a Karen, 100%." Tubbo said.

"I didn't have time to do nothing, unfortunately. As soon as they turned their heads towards me, End teleported him and Over and Theseus." Poker Face explained. "They were cowards. They knew they couldn't beat me and ran away." a little anger could be detected in his voice. "But the next time I see them, they won't have time to run away."

"WE ?! COWARDS ?!" cried Tommy. "RANBOO TELEPORT ME THERE ! I HAVE A BUSINESS TO SOLVE !" he got up from his place.

"Calm down big man." Tubbo said grabbing the sleeve of Tommy's black-white sweater (well from Ranboo, but he gave it to Tommy when he was in dysphoria 6 months ago). "It's useless for now."

"We'll fight him the next time we see him." Ranboo said grabbing the other sleeve of Tommy's sweater.

Tommy reluctantly sat down. "Hopefully we'll see him back on the battlefield soon.." he said.

"Well, on a battlefield, I don't know, but there is a way to see them again, and as a civilian." Tubbo said.

"What ?" Ranboo and Tommy asked in sync and watching Tubbo, the TV quickly forgotten.

"Heroes are looking for new managers." Tubbo explained before looking at his two best friends. "The SBI is looking for a manager, so is the Dream Team, and the hero Warden is also looking for a manager." he explained.

"There's 0 chance that one of us will be taken, especially with our powers." said Tommy.

"Especially that we could call to have an appointment only today." Ranboo said.

"How do you know ?" Tommy asked, turning to Ranboo.

"I saw him on my way to the cafe this morning, I forgot to tell you.." Ranboo said nervously, looking away.

"Anyway," Tubbo spoke and the two turned to him. "I made an appointment for us, with our fake IDs, the one that says we don't have powers." he explained. "I applied to be the manager of Warden, I have an appointment tomorrow at 10:30. Ranboo I applied for you as manager of the Dream Team, your appointment is at 9:45. And Tommy, I applied for you To be the manager of the SBI, your appointment is at 9 a.m. tomorrow." Tubbo finish.
Ranboo and Tommy remained silent.

Being the manager of the Dream Team didn't bother Ranboo, so he just nodded in acceptance.

Tommy, on the other hand, was not too keen on working with heroes. If they found out they were villains, what would they do? Will they kill them? Lock them up? Tommy didn't want Ranboo or Tubbo killed or locked up. They deserve to live a happy life. Tommy would rather we lock him up or kill him, and let his two best friends live and live a happy life.

Tubbo noticed Tommy's concerns. "And we can spy on them. Get information, and without getting caught !" he said.
Tommy still wasn't very serene with it, but it seemed like a pretty simple way to get information about the heroes, their weak points.

Tommy sighed.

"So tomorrow we'll all go to Tower Heroes for the date." he said.

Tubbo smiled a big smile. Ranboo gave a small smile.

Tomorrow was going to be a long day, well, a long morning.

Chapter Text

Tommy was at Tower Heroes wearing a white shirt, dark blue jacket, black pants and dark blue converse. He also had a dark blue tie (Tubbo had insisted he put it on). He was in the waiting room, it was 8:59, and he's not going to lie, he was stressed. He was afraid that we would find out his true identity, the identity of a villain who burns everything he wants, a villain who saw the perfect opportunity to get easy information about the SBI just by becoming their manager. .

8:59 changed to 9:00, and a robotic voice spoke. "Tommy Underscore Beloved Innit is called on floor 47 in room 42." said the robotic voice.

Everyone in the waiting room watched as Tommy entered the elevator.

Tommy hurriedly clicked button 47. Within 25 seconds, the doors reopened and he was on floor 47. He got out and knocked on the first door to his left, which had '42' written on it.

"Enter !" shouted a voice inside.

Tommy walked in and saw three people in the room which was a small office with a couch. There was the hero Siren, in his hero costume. The Crow hero who also wears his costume which was some kind of weird green dress, dark green pants, high brown boots. A white and green striped bob and a black veil that seemed to be attached to her bob. He also had blonde hair that reached his shoulders. He had a pair of black wings. His power was to fly and telekinesis. And Blade, he also had his suits which was a Louis XIV style suit and he wears a pig mask on the top of his face and long pink hair in a long braid. He had the power to create weapons out of thin air and to have above normal strength due to his piglin hybrid side. (Louis XIV is a French king who lived from 1638 to 1715).

"sit down please." Crow said softly.

Tommy sits on the armchair in front of the desk, in front of him was Crow, Blade and Siren were seated on the sofa which was next to the desk.

"You are ?" Siren asked.

"I am Tommy Underscore Beloved Innit." presented the uncovered blonde.

"Power ?" Blade asked.

"None." answered Tommy without hesitation. 'Damn, should I have hesitated ? For people without powers, not having one is the loose, isn't it ?' Tommy wondered mentally.

"None ?" repeated Siren, as if asking for confirmation.

"Yes, none." confirmed Tommy. "It's written on my file, you know ?" he said preventing himself from laughing at Siren's face.

"Yes.. Yes, of course I knew..." Siren said, taking the file from Crow's hands. Crow wanted to laugh too.

"Motivation ?" Blade asked.

'Damn, does the guy only say words ? He can't make sentences ?' Tommy wondered. "Money." replied the young blond honestly.

Siren and Blade give him a weird look as Crow starts laughing.

"Money ?" Blade repeated in disbelief.

"Money." repeated Tommy. "What ? Why are you looking at me like that ?" he asked. "You must have guessed ! Being your manager, we earn $10,000 a week ! Who wouldn't try their luck ?! Dumb, reckless !!" exclaimed the blonde with blue eyes.

Crow laughed harder, his wings starting to flap behind him. Blade just silently judged him, and Siren looked at him in disbelief.

"You can go, we'll contact you tonight." Crow said between laughs to the teenager in front of him.

"Okey, bye." Tommy said as he walked towards the exit of the room. He stopped himself. "Oh, and before I go, 87.4% of the people who apply here are for the money." and when he had finished, he left the room, closing the door tightly behind him. He entered the elevator and clicked '0'.

"How's it going ?" asked a robotic voice.

"huh.. Good ? I guess ? But who are you ?" asked the blonde. "I am Henry. A robotic AI." said the robotic voice named Henry.

"Huh.. ok.." Tommy started as the elevator doors opened. "Well, see you next week or goodbye." Tommy said coming out. Henry said something but Tommy was too far away to hear. Tommy said goodbye to the woman at the front desk and left. He walked to the station to take the B bus. Arriving at the station, he sent a message to Tubbo and Ranboo.

I'm done, it went well I guess.
Good luck Ranboo.

Tommy sighed as he entered his bus.

'I hope it goes well on their side..' thought Tommy.

--

It was 9:41 a.m. and Ranboo was in one of the Tower Heroes waiting rooms. He wore the same clothes as Tommy except his jacket was red and he had a green tie and dark green pants.

He was very anxious, he wondered if he was going to make it, if he was going to be caught. He was also afraid, not of people finding out he was a villain, but of stares.
Everyone watch it.

Many looked at him from the room, judging him.

His tail moved anxiously behind him, wondering if he should leave before it was 9:45. He anxiously looked at his watch, 9:43.

He could only hope that time would pass quickly. He would like to have the power of Travel Time, he could stop time, rewind time, forward time... In other words, a very practical power. Ranboo always wanted him to be able to use time as he wanted.

When 9:45 a.m. came, a robotic voice spoke.

"Ranboo Underscore Beloved Innit is called to floor 52 in room 59." said the robotic voice.

Ranboo rushed into the elevator, pressed 52, and felt great relief when the doors closed.
Ranboo sighed in relief as the same robotic voice spoke.

"Are you okay ? You seem very stressed and anxious, your breathing is very rapid. Should I take you to the infirmary ?" asked the voice.

"No, it's okay don't worry, just a little stress." Ranboo said. "Sorry if that's rude, but who are you ?" he asked.

"I am Henry, the Tower Heroes AI." the AI introduced himself.

"An AI ?! That's so cool ! Tubbo always wanted to see one.. I hope he sees you or talks to you !" Ranboo said, whispering the end a bit.

"Tubbo ? Tubbo Underscore Beloved Innit ?" Henry asked.

"Yeah, he's my best friend and one of my husbands." Ranboo said, he didn't really like to call Tubbo and/or Tommy his husbands as he sees them more as his best friends.

Henry was about to answer, but the doors opened.

"See you next time maybe !" Ranboo said smiling and getting out of the elevator.

He walked a bit down the hall and knocked on the door where '59' was written.
He heard a faint "come in" and entered the room. Closing the door tightly behind him.

In the room was just a desk with a chair on one side and 3 chairs on the other. On the three chairs were 3 heroes in costumes. The hero Dream who had a neon green hoodie, light brown pants, black boots, he also wears a neon green hood and a white porcelain mask with a black smile engraved on it. You could also see a brown goat's tail, and two long brown goat's horns sticking out of her hood, piercing her. His power is the truth (as soon as he asks someone a question, the person answers with the truth, unless the person's mind is very strong) and a bit like Blade, he can make swords appear based You're welcome. On his left there was the hero Fireman, he wore a black striped white shirt covered by a white t-shirt with a flame design on it, black pants and black boots reaching below his knees. He also wore a white headband which prevented him from having his black hair in front of his eyes. He had fire-colored eyes and a black gas mask that covered the lower part of his face. His power is fire. And to the right of Dream was 404, he was wearing some kind of blue dress with a big red cape, a Mushroom hat with a crown on top, white glasses with black lenses, hybrid ears and tail Cow Mushroom, dark blue pants and red sneakers. some small plants, like flowers or lianas, came out of his clothes. His power is nature (he can handle anything that comes close to nature).

"you can sit." said 404 in a weary voice.

Ranboo sat down, too scared to speak.

"Your name ?" Dream asked.

"Ranboo Underscore Beloved Innit" Ranboo replied directly.

'He's using his powers..' thought Ranboo silently thanking Tubbo for helping him to be able to lie even with a truth power, because truth powers have a lot of disadvantages.

"Your power ?" asked the hero green.

"My physical physic, if it matters, otherwise I don't have one." Ranboo replied as Fireman seemed to stare at him.

"What are you doing here ?" Dream asked.

"For money." Ranboo lied before expanding. "Taxes in District 8 have gone up a lot, from $5,000 a month to $10,000 a month, so working on it will allow me to pay my taxes." said Ranboo, and that was the truth. Taxes had doubled in some districts, including the 8.

Dream looked at 404, as if asking for confirmation.

"Yeah, taxes doubled." 404 said before looking at Ranboo. "But you are married to 2 other people, so why is this work in particular ?" he asked.

'Damn, that wasn't planned..' thought the cow hybrid.

"For the money, as I said before. We may be three, but there is a lot to pay, electricity, gas, hot water, taxes, food. And I 'on the way." Ranboo explained looking at 404. "And right now, all the prices are starting to go up." he finished.

404 and Ranboo seemed to look each other in the eye for at least 60 seconds/1 minute, Ranboo was not at all comfortable. Then Fireman coughed, winning the attention of everyone in the room.

"I think it holds up. We'll get back to you tonight." Fireman said as Ranboo stood up, said a quick goodbye, and left the room.
He returned to the elevator and clicked '0'.

"Hello again Ranboo Underscore Beloved Innit." greeted the voice of the Tower Heroes AI, Henry.

"Hello again Henry !" Ranboo said smiling. "And just call me Ranboo !"

"Okay, Ranboo." Henry said. "How did that was ?" asked the AI.

"I don't know.." Ranboo said honestly. "I hope I'll be caught, but there's little chance I'll see the world there.."

"I'm sure you'll be caught, Ranboo !" said Henry, still robotically but with a hint of optimism ? Ranboo didn't really know what it was like, or if AIs could have emotions.

He'll have to ask Tubbo when he gets home.

"You are a good person, Ranboo." finish the AI.

"Thank you Henry.." Ranboo thanked with a small smile, and even though Henry was just an AI, the words went straight to Ranboo's heart.

To Ranboo's misfortune, the doors opened, he said a quick "goodbye" to Henry as he stepped out of the elevator.

He hurried out of the Tower Heroes and went to the station. Arriving at the station, he sent a message about the group.

Ranboo got on the B bus and hoped Tubbo's date would go better than his.

--

It was 10:27 a.m. as Tubbo waited in the waiting room. The other people in the waiting room didn't seem to pay too much attention to him, which was good enough. Tubbo wore the same clothes as Tommy, except his jacket was dark green.

Tubbo was confident enough for this date, the other people in the waiting room all seemed either tired or super excited. And Tubbo was sure that none of them would be taken, because Warden was looking for someone quite calm, serene, and not too tired. And also healthy, of course.

In other words, Tubbo was sure to succeed next to them, even if his answers to the questions sucked.

When 10:30 a.m. came, the robotic voice of an AI spoke.

"Tubbo Underscore Beloved Innit must go to floor 28 in room 21." says the AI.

'That must be Henry, the AI Ranboo was talking about.' Tubbo thought as he entered the elevator, he pressed the '28' button and the doors closed.

"Hello Mr. Tubbo Underscore Beloved Innit. I'm Henry, the Tower Heroes AI." Henry introduced himself.

"Hello Henry, you can call me Tubbo, no last names needed." Tubbo said. 'I had heard of an AI that Warden had created.. I didn't expect that to be true..' thought Tubbo. 'I should learn how to do it, having an AI could help us a lot..' Tubbo came out of his thoughts when the doors opened.

"See you later Henry, I guess.." Tubbo said stepping out of the elevator.

He headed for room 21 which was the first door to his left. He knocked, heard a faint "come in" and entered.

There was a desk with a chair on either side. On one of the chairs (the one in front of the door) was Warden, he had his hero costume which consisted of a dark green sweater with a hood on, a black armored (?) jacket, a dark green carbo (almost black), high black boots and a black-green gas mask that covered the lower part of his face. The little skin we saw was white with more or less large green dots. What little of her hair you could see was neon green. His costume went pretty well with his power which was the explosions.

"You can sit.." said Warden, he looked tired.

Tubbo sits in the chair across from Warden, the desk separating them.

"Are you Tbbo Underscore Beloved Innit ?" Warden asked, paper in his hands.

"Yes." Tubbo said simply.

"You don't have any power ?" asked the hero, Tubbo nodded 'yes'. "And you went to a robotics school ?" he asked.

"Yes, one of the best." Tubbo said, he still remembered his stay at the robotics school, he was there for 3 years, and he had learned a lot of things, things he will never forget.

"What did you take down there ?" asked Warden, interested.

"A lot of things. In 3 years there I learned how to make robots, traps, hack, hack Nasa, created AIs even though they couldn't do much..." Tubbo realized that he had only spoken, without letting the hero place one. "Oh, sorry, did I talk too much ?" he asked.

The hero moved his hands as if to say that no he hadn't talked too much.

"No, it's fine, I like to listen to other people talk about things like this, robots, computers..." Warden said, scratching the back of his neck a little.

Warden and Tubbo continued talking for another 10 minutes, before Henry spoke.

"Sorry to bother you but time is running out." said the voice of the AI.

'Damn AI.. Moment waster !' Tubbo thought.

"Thank you Henry." Warden said. "I'm not going to hold you back any longer, to see Tubbo again." Warden said as Tubbo got up and headed for the door.

"Goodbye, Warden. It was nice meeting you." Tubbo said with a smile.

Then Tubbo left the room, took the elevator and clicked '0' as the doors closed.

"This was good, Tubbo." said the voice of the AI.

Tubbo jumped at Henry's voice. "Henry! You scared me !" Tubbo said.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.." Henry apologized, with regret in his voice ?

'Did Warden get the AI to feel emotions ? Is it even possible ?' Tubbo wondered.

Tubbo and Henry didn't have time to argue, when the doors opened.

"Well, see you again Henry, I hope we can talk again in the future." Tubbo said stepping out of the elevator.

Tubbo walked to the station, arriving at the station, he wrote a message about the band before putting away his phone and taking the B bus.

It was 8:41 p.m. while the three best friends were sitting on their sofas watching Black Phone, then Tommy received an email on his phone, then Tubbo, and Ranboo too.

They exchanged a look before putting the movie in pose.

They all exchanged a look after reading their emails.

"Looks like we got a job and $10,000 a week." the blonde said as his friends nodded.

Monday was going to be a long day...

Chapter Text

It was their last weekend as normal villains, as non-spy villains.

Today was Saturday, and Tubbo, Ranboo and Tommy decided to make a plan to set fire to all of District 16.

Why the lowest and poorest District ? Because it would be there that would be the hiding place of the villain Waty. She was a woman wearing pirate clothes, and her power was water, and she was apparently a salmon hybrid.

Why do they want to kill another villain ? Because they owe them money. She owes them $10.

And yes, that's a good reason to set a district on fire.

They had planned this:
Tommy starts entering District 16, blocking all exits.
Tubbo moves to the left of District 16.
Ranboo moves to the right of District 16.
When they are in place, they all send a green light into the sky.
When they all throw it, see they're all in place, they set the District on fire.
Using explosions, lighters, matches,...

Yes.. Their plan sucked.

But it was because he sucked, and had little chance of success, that Tommy and Ranboo were sure he would walk.

"The bigger it is, the more it's acceptable !" Tommy had said.

The trio were around the table, talking about the plan.

"Are you sure that's where she lives ?" Ranboo asked anxiously.

"No, she doesn't live there." Tubbo said with a sigh.

" What ?! So why are we setting fire there ?!" Ranboo asked.

Ranboo hate killing innocent people, the only reason why they became a villain was because they're two best friends decided to become one, and since they was afraid for them, they decided to become one and team up with them, so they could watch them and if necessary, teleport them to safety if there were heroes.

“Because it is in District 16 that all the villains gather to talk." Tubbo said.

"How can you be so sure ?" Ranboo asked.

“I have already seen some of his meetings. said Tommy. “I used to go for a walk in District 16 a lot last month, and I saw them often. Always talking about robbery, or killing people."

"Oh..." Ranboo said.

It's true that last month, Tommy went out a lot, whether at night or during the day. But he had never suspected that Tommy was going to District 16.
“They always see each other in District 16, never in other districts. Tommy explained.

“Yeah, so if we destroyed District 16, they won't really have a place to see each other without the heroes or vigilantes noticing." Tubbo explained.

Ranboo sighed. "Okay.. So we're doing it tomorrow ?" he asked.

Tommy and Tubbo smiled then answered in synchronization "yes".

Ranboo sighed. 'Why are they so mad ?' he wondered.

Tomorrow was going to be a long day..

--

Tubbo and Tommy were very happy to be able to set fire to District 16. They didn't really like villains, especially their leader, Rock. Or his real name, Schlatt. He was one of the villains best known for his shadow manipulation and blood manipulation powers. But he was also one of the government people. Yeah, the government is corrupt. Tubbo insists on killing him, so hopefully the government will become a little less corrupt. Tommy, he wanted to kill a particular hero, the XD hero. He was a hero who had the power of light (it is a power that allows you to wield light, create weapons from light).

By setting fire to District 16, Tubbo was sure it would take time for the villains to see each other again, especially with the vigilantes who are becoming more and more common. To believe that they too understood that the government and the heroes were corrupt.

And Tommy, he was sure that by setting fire to a District, XD would show up. That he was going to get out of District 3, 2 and 1 to save a District, so people wouldn't wonder when District 16 was done burning, where was their number 1 hero ? If XD cared about his reputation, he had to come to District 16 to put out the fire, so Tommy could finally attack him, fight him.

Well, Tommy knows he has little chance of winning, that's a fact. But at least he could inflict some damage on him.

"Tomorrow, we'll burn down District 16, the villain's hideout, and you can fight XD if he comes." Tubbo told Tommy.

His blond friend nodded, very anxious for tomorrow.

--

The next day at 5:30 p.m., Ranboo, Tommy and Tubbo were in their villain costumes, Tommy at the entrance of the District, Ranboo at the right of the District and Tubbo at the left of the District.

They all three entrace their green light in the sky, at the same time.

Once launched, Tommy used his explosion powers. He started running around the city, touching all the buildings in his way with his fingertips, all exploding after he touched them.
Ranboo were setting fire to the grass which was still wet, this day it was raining a lot in District 16, so it helped the trio a lot that the grass was wet, it caught fire more quickly. He teleported all over District 16 and set fire to anything he found wet with a lighter.
Tubbo, he creates lightning and makes them hit the grass still a little wet, setting it on fire. And blew out all the lights in District 16 at once, preventing its residents from seeing at night.

After ten minutes like this, setting everything on fire, all of District 16 was on fire, and the heroes had only just arrived. The Dream Team and SBI heroes have arrived. They all tried to save a few people who were trapped in the fire, and Blade and Dream tried to access End, Over and Theseus, but they had trouble. Theseus was flying through the sky, Over had robotic wings allowing him to fly, and End was on top of a large building which was one of the few still intact. Over and Theseus were near the building where End was. The trio stare at the chaos they had created.

Theseus was the first to notice Dream and Blade.

“WHERE IS XD ?!" Theseus asked the two heroes.

Blade scoffed. "He's in District 2 !" Taking care of a flight story. You seriously thought he was coming for District 16? He will never come to Districts lower than 5 ! Even if they are on fire !" Blade said as he climbed onto the roof of the building. Dream doing the same.

"Damn, he's not here.." Tommy mentally told Tubbo and Ranboo.

“We should have known…” Ranboo mentally said to his two friends.

“You can thank us." Over said stepping next to End.

“Oh and why ? For setting fire to a District ?" Dream said.

“For burning down the hideout of the villains." said Theseus, standing on the other side of End.

" What ?" Dream asked in disbelief.

“You are also villains." Blade said in a monotonous voice.

"Yes, but we're not villains who manipulate the government like others.." said Over, rolling his eyes, even if he couldn't see it with his mask.

" What ?" repeated Dream. “There are no villains in the government." he said. The trio laughed.

"I didn't know you were so stupid..." Over said.

"Being manipulated by Schlatt, such a shame..." said Theseus.

“I would be suspicious of government people and your number one hero, if I was you." said End.

And before the two heroes could speak any more, the trio vanished.

--

When Tommy, Tubbo and Ranboo were back in their homes, they were pretty tired. The evening had tired them, so without really talking, they put on their pajamas and went to bed early.

Tommy was quite upset that XD hadn't come, he would have liked to fight him, or talk to him. Ask him why ?

Why didn't he save him ?

But he hadn't come, he could only wait for the next attack and hope to see him.

Tubbo, he was happy with this evening, and he was in a hurry to be tomorrow, to go to work, to know how the heroes are going to do for District 16.

Ranboo, he was scared. Fear of what will happen in the future.

But for now, they could only sleep, and tomorrow will be a long day.

Chapter Text

It was Monday, 9:23 a.m., Ranboo, Tommy and Tubbo were in the living room.

Tommy wore a white long-sleeved shirt, with a black t-shirt on top, black pants that reached below his knees, a black belt, white socks hidden by his black boots.
Ranboo wore a light green hoodie with sleeves that were white from the elbows down, light blue sweatpants, white socks, and red high top converse.
Tubbo, he was wearing a dark brown striped yellow sweater, a large white blouse over his sweater, dark blue cargo pants, white socks and white sneakers.

They were all discussing how this day was going to go.

"Wait.. Do we all start at the same time ?" Ranboo asked.

"Yeah, why Ranboob ?" Tommy asked, raising his eyebrows.

"But what time do we finish ?" asked the cow hybrid.

His two friends were silent. They both exchanged a look before looking at Ranboo.

"It... It wasn't specified in the email..." Tubbo said, looking away.

Ranboo sighed. "obviously.. You'll have to ask Kristin." they said.

---

The trio had taken the bus together and were now at Tower Heroes, at the front desk. They were in front of Kristin.

"Here are your badges." said Kristin giving them badges where there was roughly written "Tower Heroes", below in a little less bulk their work (for Tubbo it was written "Manager of the Warden", for Tommy "Manager of the SBI", and Ranboo "Manager of the Dream Team") and even smaller below their full names. The trio each took their badges and hung them on their sweaters/blouses/t-shirts.

"Huh.. I have a question.." Ranboo started as Kristin looked at him. "What time do we finish ?" he asked.

"Oh ? I forgot to put it in the mail ?" Kristin asked as the trio nodded yes. "I'm sorry ! I was sure I put it in the mail ! Tommy and Ranboo finish at 7:00 and Tubbo at 7:35." she says.

"Okay, thank you" Ranboo thanked.

And without transition, Kristin gave them their work floors.

Yes.

Floors.

"Tubbo you're on floor -30, Ranboo on floor 72 and Tommy on floor 69." Kristin said.

"Okay, and which room are we in ?" Tubbo asked.

"You don't have rooms, but a floor for you and the heroes you work for." the brunette explained as the trio looked at her in shock.

"Wait.. I'm going to share a floor with a madman who loves blood, a madman who just sings and a father tired of life ??" Tommy asked.

"Yes ?" said Kristin, laughing slightly at the nicknames she found quite well chosen.

"Reassure me, I will still have a room that only I have access to ? And where can I lock it ?" Tommy asked, with a hint of hope in his voice.

"Normally not, but I'll make an exception. I don't really want you to die of exhaustion with them." Kristin said giving Tommy a key.
On the key, Tommy had read 'Office SBI manager'.

"Thanks !" said Tommy, tears of joy at the corners of his eyes.

"Uh- can I have one too ?" Ranboo asked anxiously.

Kristin nodded and handed him a key with 'DT Manager Office' written on it.

"Thanks." Ranboo thanked with a smile.

"Do you want one too, Tubbo ?" Kristin asked, looking at Tubbo.

"No, I don't think I would need it." Tubbo declined gently.

The trio said goodbye to Kristin before going into the elevator -well, Tommy and Ranboo going in one elevator, and Tubbo taking another-.

"Anxious?" Tommy asked his tall friend as the elevator doors closed.

"A little.." Ranboo replied. "And you ?"

"No way." said Tommy confidently. "The hardest part has been done, now you just have to do what they ask."

"Yeah, you're right.." Ranboo said. "But I still have a bad feeling.." they said looking at Tommy.

"It may be because last night a District would have burned down, the 16th." Tommy said watching the elevator doors close. "It will give us a lot of work for a first day.."

Ranboo hummed a little in agreement. "It was a trio that would have done this.. The trio End, Over and Theseus.."

"Yeah, the same ones that allegedly set fire to the Las Nevadas casino." said Tommy.

Ranboo was about to speak, but the doors opened on floor 69.

"Well.. See you tonight, I guess.." Tommy said stepping out of the elevator.

"See you tonight." Ranboo said as the doors closed to go to floor 72.

Tommy went into a room that looked like a.. Living room ?

'Did they live here ?' Tommy wondered mentally.

"Have you arrived yet ?" asked a quiet voice behind him.

"OH BY PRIME-" Tommy said as he spun around in fear.

The man chuckled lightly at Tommy's reaction. The man was none other than Crow, he was wearing his hero costume, except that he was missing his veil, he had green eyes and the beginnings of a blond beard. He seems like an old man according to Tommy.

"You are old." said Tommy.

Crow hissed with a laugh.

"What's happening ?" another voice asked from behind Tommy.

"BY THE HOLY JESUS CHRIST-" Tommy scream, turning quickly.

The man chuckled as Crow hissed louder. It was Siren, he was also wearing his costume, but not his headband. He had brown eyes and dark glasses.

"Dude you look like nothing." said the blond teenager.

Crow started to croak while laughing.

'The old man will die if he keeps laughing like that.' thought Tommy.

Siren looked at him with an offended expression.

He was about to speak but another voice was heard.

"Wilbur, what did you do and why is Phil laughing like a hyena ?" asked a flat voice from Tommy's left.

Tommy, didn't jump this time, he wasn't scared, he didn't scream... 

"BITCH STOP APPEARING OUT OF NOWHERE LIKE THIS !!" Tommy scream turning to the man who was none other than Blade who didn't have his mask on, he had blood red eyes.

Crow or Phil, laughed even harder at Tommy's reaction. Siren or Wilbur began to complain.

"He's a child ! Techno, he's-" Wilbur began before getting cut off by none other than Tommy.

"Bitch ! I'm not a kid! I'm 20 !" Tommy scream to Wilbur.

Wilbur looked him up and down, judging him. "You ? 20 ? Impossible." said the brunette.

"OF COURSE IF I'M 20 !" Tommy lied.

"It's impossible." said Techno -Blade-.

Tommy was about to retort, but Phil finally managed to quiet his laughter and spoke before Tommy could.

"Actually, he's really 20. It's on his paper, if you had read it.." Phil said looking at the other two men.

Tommy smiled at the old man's words.

"What ? You look 16 ! Not 20 !" said Wilbur.

"I just look young, that's all." Tommy said with a more than sufficient smile at the sight of shocked looks from Wilbur and Techno.

Techno was about to speak, but Phil beat him to it.

"Tommy, I'll show you around the place, then we can all get to work." said Phil.

Tommy nodded. "What am I going to work on ?" he asked, even though he already had an idea.

"You must know this, but yesterday District 16 was destroyed." began Phil. "So you're going to help us find all the victims who were in District 16 last night, and then we'll go see the survivors who were sent to the District 8 hospital." he said.

"And we'll ask them for their side of the story !" added Wilbur.

"Isn't it the job of the police to do that ?" Tommy asked.

"Normally, but they're too busy rebuilding the District." Techno said with a sigh, he hated having to interrogate people, preferring to fight, capture or kill villains. And the voices didn't help, always asking for more blood.

Tommy nodded as Phil began to show him upstairs.

It was going to be a long day, that's for sure.

--

When Ranboo arrived at floor 72, they was greeted by the sight of the Dream Team trio, who seemed to be waiting for them.

They were all in hero costumes, but without their masks, 404 had his glasses on his hair, you could see his eyes, one was brown and the other blue.
Fireman had his mask around his neck, and his eyes were dark brown, almost black.
And Dream had his mask on one side of his head, you could see his green eyes and his brown freckles ; he also had his hood pulled down, revealing his shoulder length brown hair in a high ponytail, as well as one of his front locks which was rainbow.

"Uh- hello ?" Ranboo said anxiously.

'Do they know ? No it's impossible ! I did not do anything wrong ! Not in the meeting anyway. Did they recognize me ? I knew I should have worn a wig as End !' Ranboo thought, panicking.

"Ah Ranboo ! We were waiting for you !" says Dream.

"I don't think we can show everything right away, because it's a bit of a rush." Fireman said taking Ranboo's hand and leading him into his office.

"Yeah, with the District burning yesterday, that gives us a lot of work." says 404.

Entering the office, Fireman made Ranboo sit on the chair that was in front of a desk.
On the desk is a computer and 6 more screens. Plus a folder on the right side of the desktop.
404 turned on the PC, entered the code which was 'DreamTeamManager'.
404 was to Ranboo's right, Fireman to Ranboo's right and Dream behind Ranboo.

"404, can you explain to me what's going on ? Please ?" asked the new-manager.

"You can call me by my name George." said 404. "And must quickly find information on the trio who set fire to Poker Face's casino and District 16." he explained.

Ranboo nodded, not sure what to think - they was one of the people responsible for the casino fire and District 16, and his two colleagues who were none other than his best friends, were also here. Just on different floors.-

"You can call me Sapnap and Dream you can call him Clay, when we're not as heroes." said Fireman.

Ranboo nodded again as the screens displayed private files on the villains End, Over, and Theseus.

It was going to be a long day...

--

When Tubbo was on floor -30, he saw Warden in his costume working on a robot.

"Hello Warden !" Tubbo greeted with a smile.

"Hello Tubbo." Warden said, turning to look at Tubbo. "And you can call me Sam here."

Tubbo nodded before taking a closer look at his surroundings. It was a kind of large laboratory in a single room (?), the walls and the floor were white, there were plans on the walls, some of robots, others of nuclear bombs, others of objects electronics,...

Tubbo has never seen so much material or plans in one room.

"Tubbo, you learned how to make robots, right ?" Sam asked as Tubbo looked at him before nodding. "Great ! I need a little help.." Sam continued looking at the robot he is creating.

"Sure !" Tubbo said walking towards Sam and the robot.

Tubbo's day was going to be easier than that of his two best friends...

--

-

When Ranboo finished, it was already noon. He left the office, the Dream Team by his side.

They headed for the cafeteria which was on floor 0.

The ride to the cafeteria was quiet, the Dream Team all had their masks on, they said they were going to see another group of heroes at noon.

Once in the cafeteria, they all sat down at a 10-seater table. Seconds after settling in, the SBI heroes in their full suits and their managers sat down at their tables.
(order of seats from left to right : Ranboo-404-Dream-Fireman, opposite : Tommy-Siren-Crow-Blade)

Tommy and Ranboo exchanged a look of confusion, neither of them knowing what was going on.

"I present to you Ranboo Underscore Beloved Innit, our manager." Dream introduced Ranboo.

Ranboo says an almost inaudible little "hello". His tail brushing behind him anxiously.

"And this is Tommy Underscore Beloved Innit, our manager." Crow introduced Tommy.

A few seconds of silence passed as the heroes realized.

"Wait.. WHY YOU HAVE THE SAME LAST-NAME ?!" Siren shouted as everyone stared at Tommy, who was laughing his ass off as they took so long to figure out the surnames, and Ranboo laughed silently.

Before the two could answer, Warden arrived with Tubbo by his side, they sat at one end of the table.

"Sorry for the delay." Warden said. "and this is Tubbo Underscore Beloved Innit, my manager and assistant." he introduced Tubbo, while the latter was dying of laughter as all eyes went from Tommy to Ranboo to Tubbo.

"Tommy, Ranboo and Tubbo, explain why you all have the same last name." Dream ordered with her powers.

Tubbo got up and walked over to Ranboo and Tommy, he sat down on a chair at the end of the table between Ranboo and Tommy.

"Warden, this is Tommy Underscore Beloved Innit" he said looking at Tommy, "and Ranboo Underscore Beloved Innit" he looked at Ranboo saying that before looking at Warden. "My husbands." he had one arm on Tommy's shoulders and another on Ranboo's shoulders.

Tommy laughed even harder at the reaction of the heroes, Ranboo tried to quiet his laughter, but he quickly gave up; and Tubbo was trying not to burst out laughing at Siren's confused scream.

"WHAT ?!" scream Siren.

"Heh ?" Blade asked.

"I knew it." Crow said, laughing lightly at the reaction of his two sons and friends.

"NOT ONE, RANBOO ! BUT TWO ?!" shouted Fireman in confusion.

"We see you read the paper all.." Warden said with a sigh.

"I read them, and I also found out about Ranboo's husbands, that's how I knew who your manager was, you and the SBI." said 404 calmly.

"I can't believe the child got married, not to one person, but two.." Siren said desperately.

"CHILD ?! I'M 20 BITCH !!" scream Tommy in an offended tone.

"And what about ours ? I thought he was innocent.." Fireman said, wiping away a fake tear.

"I'm 19.." Ranboo said without emotion in his voice.

Tubbo laughed harder as Tommy said he was 20 to Siren and Blade, Ranboo trying to explain that they hadn't done anything together, just married and they consider themselves best friends to Fireman and Dream, Crow, Warden and 404 who, as the good responsible adults that they are, sigh at the turmoil just because their managers were married.

'I think I would react the same as them if I saw 16 and 17 year olds getting married and pretending to be 20 and 19 years old.' Tubbo thought.

Crow clapped his hands, everyone fell silent and turned to him.

"Now that you've calmed down," Crow began, 'well I hope so' he thought, "We need to talk about what we're going to do this afternoon, specifically, how we're going to deal with the victims of the destruction of District 16." he finishes.

Their moment of poses had been short-lived.

Tubbo, Ranboo and Tommy shouldn't have destroyed District 16, at least not right away...

Chapter Text

The Dream Team, SBI, Warden and the 3 managers were all in the hospital.

The Dream Team and SBI were there to interview victims about the destruction of District 16, Warden and Tubbo were there to put robotic limbs on those who had lost limbs during the District 16 fire, and Tommy and Ranboo just accompanied.. They were to assist the Dream Team and the SBI.

Why ? Because Dream and Siren did not want them to stay in the offices alone.

The Dream Team and the SBI had gone to floor 2 to interrogate while Warden and Tubbo went to floor 1, as that was where those in need of robotic limbs had been sent. Ranboo and Tommy were also on floor 2, even though they had nothing to do.

--

Tommy and Ranboo were sitting on one of the chairs in one of the hallways on floor 2, they were across from room 209, the SBI were interrogating there, the Dream Team were in the room behind Ranboo and Tommy, room 210.

Ranboo yawned, breaking the silence between the two.

" Tiredness ?" Tommy asked looking at the hybrid next to him.

"Yeah.. Having to research the Pyromaniac trio and having to redo their biography.." said the hybrid cow.

“Pyromaniac trio ? What is it ?" asked the blonde.

"That's what they called the trio End, Over and Theseus." Ranboo said.

"Shit name, for super cool villains.." Tommy whispered the last part so only Ranboo could hear him.

“Nah, the name is cool." Ranboo said. “especially since we set everything on fire. So it’s rather logical." Ranboo explained in a whisper so only Tommy could hear.

Tommy grumbled silently that the name was stupid and that they should choose another one.

Then silence resumed.
Ranboo watched as Tommy pulled out his phone.

" What are you doing ?" Ranboo asked.

“Twitter." Tommy replied simply as he opened the door to room 210 slightly, took a quick photo of the Dream Team interrogating the victims, quietly closed the door, as if it hadn't been opened. Then Tommy got up, made his two little crow wings appear in place of his ears, floated a little above the ground with the help of the little wings, slightly opened the door, took a photo of the SBI questioning the victims of the District 16 fire, discreetly closed the door as if it had never been opened, and sat down next to Ranboo and made his two small black wings disappear which were in place of his ears, his ears reappearing (idk how explain it).

Ranboo took out his phone, opened Twitter and saw that Tommy had just tweeted on his 'TheseusPyromaniacTrio' account he had just created.

He (Tommy) tweeted :

TheseusPyromaniacTrio :
'Now it's not even the police who do the interrogations, but the heroes.'

Followed by the two photos he had taken.

"People will never believe you..." Ranboo said clicking on the account Tommy had just created.

“If you worry, I tweeted before a photo that had not been sent to the public." Tommy explained in a whisper.

And it was true, he had posted a tweet before that said 'Hello Twitter the best villain has arrived.' followed by a shot of Tommy in his Theseus costume, on a building as the sun rises in the background.

Ranboo laughed as he subscribed to the account.

"Tubbo will kill you..." they said.

“Nah, he loves me too much for that." Tommy said confidently.

Tommy and Ranboo put their phones away as the SBI went to the next room, 211. A few seconds later, the Dream Team exited and went to room 212.

Tommy chuckled silently as he saw Ranboo pull out his phone and create an End twitter account.

"Tubbo will kill you !" imitated Tommy.

"Shut up..." Ranboo said rolling they're eyes, a smile on they're face.

Ranboo called the account 'EndPyromaniacTrio'. He did not post yet, preferring to wait for the evening, that in a hospital, his could be rather dangerous according to them.
Tommy also pulled out his phone and privately messaged Tubbo.

-

Tubso

Boss Man Tommy
Me and Ranboo made Twitter accounts by the name of 'TheseusPyromaniacTrio' and 'EndPyromaniacTrio' We expect you to create yours too
2:02 p.m.

-

AfterTommy went to Twitter (with the Theseus account) and subscribed to End's account.

"Big Man Tubbo is going to kill us..." Tommy said before turning off his phone, laughing.

He could imagine an angry Tubbo who wants to hit them but can't because there are the heroes.

“Quiet we are with the heroes." Ranboo said.

"It's true, it's true..." reply Tommy.

Few things scared Tommy, but one of the few things that scared Tommy, even terrified him, was Tubbo when he was angry.
And Tommy had a good laugh, if Tubbo gets angry for the twitter account, he will delete it directly.

--

Tubbo pulled out his phone to check the messages he had received. Warden was at his side, pulling a robotic arm out of his bag.

-

BOISSO MAN 

Boss Man Tommy
Me and Ranboo made Twitter accounts by the name of 'TheseusPyromaniacTrio' and 'EndPyromaniacTrio' We expect you to create yours too
2:02 p.m.

-

Tubbo sighed, he should have known Tommy would end up doing something like that. But Ranboo ? He would never think of it !

'I'll have to talk to them about this Twitter thing when I get home tonight..' thought Tubbo as he put his phone back in his pocket.

"What's going on ?" Warden asked as he stood up, robotic arm in hand.

“Oh, just Tommy texting me saying him and Ranboo are bored." Tubbo lied, even though he knew Tommy and Ranboo were really bored up there.

"They're not interviewing the victims of the destruction of District 16 ?" Warden asked.

"No, it's the heroes who do it, they sit on the chairs in the hallways and wait." Tubbo explained.

How he know ? Ranboo told him. 

“Might as well stay at Tower Heroes if they do nothing." said Warden impassively.

“No, they didn't want to leave them in offices alone." Tubbo explained. “Not to mention that it is absolutely necessary to have the testimonies of the victims to do all the work." he finished his explanation.

"And they can't come and help us ?" the hero asked as he entered room 123.

"Well.. they know how to put on robotic limbs.. So yeah they could help, but we'd have to ask Crow and Dream if it's okay for them to come help us." Tubbo said, entering in the room 123.

Warden put the robotic arm on a child with the help of Tubbo.

When the arm was put on, Warden called Crow to see if the managers could come up to Floor 1 with him and Tubbo to help them put the robotic limbs on the victims.
Seconds later, Ranboo and Tommy were on Floor 1 ready to help Warden and Tubbo with the robotic limbs they needed to place.

--

When 8:18 p.m. rolled around, the Pyromaniac Trio (Bench Trio) were in their living room, in their pajamas, minding their Twitter.

Tubbo, wearing his dinosaur pajamas, had made sure that we couldn't trace their twitter accounts, or that if we tried, we found them either in Utah or in Hell.

“Thank you Tubbo." said Tommy as he checked his Theseus account, which already had 892k followers, and his first post had 200k likes and his second 909k likes.

Ranboo had posted his first tweet on the End account 1 hour ago and already had 200K subscribers and 371k likes on the post... Let's say that when you're a villain, you easily get visibility... Especially if it's pictures that were taken during/before the District 16 fire (that's what Tubbo and Ranboo did).

Tubbo made an account too, 'OverPyromaniacTrio', he had 439k followers, and his post which was like Ranboo's, him during the District 16 fire, had 600k likes, and he posted it 3 hours ago.

“The idea was quite good, you impress me." Tubbo said as he read Tommy's left wing.

Tommy had his two large crow wings spread out, Ranboo preen his right wing and Tubbo his left wing. He also had his two little crow wings instead of his ears to unfold, which he smoothed himself.

"Let's say I'm smarter than I look." Said the blonde, removing a bad quill.

"We never said you weren't." Ranboo said. “You are a smart fool who pretends to be stupid." he finished.

"I don't know how to take it..." Tommy said as he finished smoothing his two little wings on his head.

“Take it good." Ranboo and Tubbo said in sync.

Their best friend winger rolled their eyes fondly and smiled before turning on the TV and putting on the replays. “What do I wear ?" asked Tommy.

“put on Black Phone." Tubbo said.

Tommy nodded before selecting Black Phone.

And the movie started playing...

Chapter Text

It was 10:45 a.m and Tommy seemed more tired and less energetic than usual.

The reason : He had spent the night walking around the town of L'Manberg and taking lots of photos to post them on Twitter. Some of which show the police and the heroes looking for him, but who don't. not find, while he was just above them, flying.

Ranboo and Tubbo were with Tommy in his office. They filled out the papers of the victims' testimonies.

Yes, they do the work of the police.

Besides, Tubbo had managed to take a photo with a small robot where we see the three of them writing the testimonies of the victims, he posted it on his Over account with the caption 'even managers must do the work of the police.'

"THE THREE HUSBANDS UNDERSCORE BELOVED INNIT !" Dream scream entering the room, followed by a man with a sort of long white robe, two pairs of white wings, a white porcelain mask with "XD" written on it in black, a golden 'X' that surrounded his head, and it will float off the ground. He was L'Manberg's n°1 hero, XD.

Tommy winced for half a second at the sight of XD before he faked a smile, again.

Dream turned on the lights in the room and closed the blinds.

"What are you doing Dream ?" Tubbo asked, staring at L'Manberg's No°2 hero.

"Look at Twitter, in the top tweets." Dream replied simply.

Tubbo looked in the tweet tops, even though he knew it was because of his tweet.

Ranboo and Tommy looked at Tubbo's phone, trying not to laugh because it was literally them.

"Well, they're right.." said Tommy.

"What ?" XD asked in a relaxed way.

"We do the police work." answered Tommy before developing. "We rewrite the testimonies of the victims, it is normally the job of the police."

XD and Dream didn't answer.
Both knowing it was true, and that they shouldn't be doing what they're doing.

"But maybe if you were faster, maybe you had come, maybe we wouldn't have needed to do this, maybe District 16 wouldn't have been destroyed if you had come !" Tommy said angrily looking straight at where XD's eyes would be if they didn't have they're mask on.

The atmosphere in the room was becoming more and more tense.
No one dared to speak, Dream didn't even move, too afraid that the attention would be on him (He thanked Lady Prime for wearing his mask). Tubbo was writing the testimonies of the victims on Tommy's pc, knowing full well that there was no point trying to calm Tommy down, not that he would anyway, XD deserve to be beheaded according to him for what he had done. Ranboo stood awkwardly next to Tommy, ready to stop him from fighting if need be. XD stood in front of an angry Tommy, he felt like he had seen him before.

And Tommy ?

He looks at XD with anger remembering a memory he would have liked to forget, but it was impossible for him to forget.

---

"HELP ME !!! HELP !!" scream a little blond child with blue eyes who was in a burning house. He had a lot of dust on him and being under several debris, he had more and more difficulty to breathe, and he couldn't see much outside anymore, the debris hiding his vision.

But before he closed his eyes, he managed to see the XD hero looking at him and heard him talking.

"Are there still people alive ?" asked someone further.

"No ! No one !" XD said, hesitating a bit before stepping out of the child's blurry field of vision.

And the blond child closed his eyes as the hero left.

-

When the child opened his eyes, he found himself in a black and red room.

He tried to get up, but a hand stopped him.

"You shouldn't get up right away, you're not fully healed yet." said a voice to his left.

The child looked to his left and saw a person with black skin, horns and a black demon tail, his eyes were all white, he was wearing a black and red jacket with a black hood, black pants and black shoes . It was the evil Egg Vil. His power was fire, and shadows. He was known as the leader of the Eggpire. It was a cult for an egg.

"I'm the villain Egg Vile! But you can call me Bad." said the villain, there was kindness in his voice.

"Tommy, Tommy Innit.." the child said hesitantly.

"Alright Tommy, I'll take care of you while you recover. Okay ?" Bad asked.

Tommy didn't answer and nodded in agreement. Bad smiled warmly at the child, he was going to take good care of this child.

---

Tommy was 7 years old at the time, and his parents had died in the fire. Tommy had lived with Bad ever since, and he considered him his father. He lived with Bad for 9 years, until he married Tubbo and Ranboo to live together. But he always visited Bad, he had helped him a lot. Him and Tubbo and Ranboo, he faked them after all.

The door opened, snapping Tommy out of his thoughts. Everyone turned towards the door, Fireman standing there awkwardly with Siren behind him.

"Bad Timing ?" asked Fireman.

"Bad Timing." confirmed Tommy, still with anger in his voice.

"Okay. Ranboo and Dream, 404 is looking for you." Fireman said waving them out. Ranboo and Dream hurried out of the room, not without Ranboo giving Tommy a sad look before leaving. "And Tubbo, Warden is looking for you." Fireman finishes.

Tubbo saved what he had written, patted Tommy on the arm comfortingly before walking out of the room.

After they left, Fireman and Siren closed the door, leaving Tommy and XD alone.

"So.. what do you have against me ?" the Hero n°1 asked, breaking the silence.

"There is that if you had come to District 16, it would not have been destroyed !" Tommy said.

XD didn't answer. He walked to the door and left, closing the door behind him.

"Cowardly." Tommy said looking angrily at the door.

"Tommy, are you okay ?" Henry's robotic voice asked.

"Yeah, don't worry Henry, I'm just a little angry." he explained as he sat down on the desk chair, began to write down the testimonies of the victims that Tubbo had started.

--

Ranboo was with the Dream Team and Siren in Warden's -30 floor. They were talking about the villains' Twitter accounts that had appeared, and how they knew the name that had been given to them when it hadn't been revealed to the general public yet.
Warden and Tubbo were also in the room, both on computers trying to track down where the Twitter accounts were. Things that were going to be impossible because it was Tubbo/Over himself who had made sure they couldn't be traced. And Tubbo had managed to hack NASA, so they couldn't do it.

"Did you manage to trace the Twitter accounts ?" Dream asked looking at Warden and Tubbo.

"That tells me they're in Utah.." Warden said, staring at his screen.

"Me, that they are in Hell." Tubbo said looking at his screen without emotion.

"And that's not the truth, is it ?" Siren asked with a sigh as Warden and Tubbo nodded in confirmation.

If only they knew the villains they were looking for had been with them all along and silently taunting them...

Chapter Text

It had been a very long week for the trio, working as a manager for heroes was really not easy, especially with the fire of District 16, and the Casino of Las Nevadas, which, according to rumors, the Dream Team would have to deal with it now with the help of Poker Face.

When Ranboo learned that, they were now going to handle the Casino business with the Dream Team, he was okay with that, he thought it might be funny, but when he heard that Poker Face was also going to be there, they was very scared.

He didn't want to work with him. Maybe the Dream Team hasn't found out he's a villain yet, but Poker Face probably will. Poker is not blind compare to other heroes.
He is intelligent.
As annoying as it is, if Poker Face, or real name Quackity, sees the trio, they'll understand who they are.

How does he know his name ? He's not stupid, it's easy to find the identities of the heroes if you really want to. Besides, it's funny to think that it was Tommy who managed to find the identity of all the heroes he saw just by their looks. Him and Tubbo had been quite shocked at that time..

----

Tubbo sighed as he slammed his head against his desk, his computer was in front of him, turned on.

"Why can't I find anything on this damn heroes ?!" Tubbo said with skepticism/disbelief.

"The identities of the heroes are so well kept ?" Ranboo asked as they approached Tubbo.

"Of course ! It's almost impossible to get information about their true identities !" Tubbo said raising his head suddenly startling Ranboo who was not expecting the gesture.

Tommy laughed. "It is sure that on the Internet you will not find anything." he began as the attention of the two hybrids hoofed staring at him in disbelief. "You just have to open your eyes ! Take a better look at what's around you !" he said smiling and sitting down on Tubbo's bed.

"What do you mean Boss Man ?" asked the hybrid goat.

"It's simple.." Tommy started before getting a crazy smile on his face. "Heroes are not as smart as they claim ! You just have to look at them long enough, try to see what part of their body you can see, for example their hair or their eyes, pay attention to their behaviors, how they act in combat, if in the street when they are on patrol they often go to the same place. And when it is done, walk around the city as a civilian, watch out for passing civilians, look at the goods, see if they look like any of the heroes you have observed, if the person commonly goes to the same place as them, spy on them. See if you can find them with the hero you assume they are in the same place at the same time , see if they go to Tower Heroes and don't come out for a very long time, see if the hero leaves shortly after they entered Tower Heroes, see if the person leaves Tower Heroes soon after the hero goes back in. And if all this is over sse, then know that you now know the identity of a hero ! And if you spy on the hero well enough when he's in civilian clothes, know that you can get his address without too much effort and even know the identities of other heroes! That yes, even in civilian clothes, the heroes hang out a lot with each other !” Tommy explained, his crazy smile never fading.

Ranboo and Tubbo looked at him shocked. None of them had ever thought of doing that !

"Tommy.." Tubbo began. "You're even crazier than I thought !" he says with a smile.

-----

After Tommy told them that, Tubbo and Ranboo wanted to try Tommy's technique, which also works for vigilantes and other villains, but they didn't need to, because Tommy already had the identities of all the heroes. and vigilantes of L'Manberg (at least at the time they were talking about it, now he lacks the identity of the vigilante Purpled).
But at least, thanks to that, they know the identity of the heroes, vigilantes and villains. As well as their addresses, identities of family members and friends,...
Yeah, they knew almost all of them...
Said like that, they sound like stalkers. But they're not ! It's just to get some information....

Yeah, no. They're fucking stalkers, at least Tommy is. It's mainly Tommy who does all this, because he finds it funny.
Ranboo and Tubbo did it from time to time, when they were bored or when Tommy got sick (something that happens quite rarely).

Anyway, back to the main problem, Poker Face.

Ranboo was going to have to work with him from Monday of next week, so in two days.

"We don't get paid enough for this shit.." complained Ranboo who lay on the couch watching their shared bank account go from $134.89 to $30,134.89.

"Are you crazy ?! WE'RE PAID SUPER WELL !!" shouted Tommy who was sitting on the ground but got up after seeing the money in their account suddenly increase. "MAN THAT MEANS IN ONE MONTH WE EARN $90,000! OR $120,000... I KNOW MORE BUT IT'S STILL HUGE !!!" The blonde scream.

"It's not because we have money that we have to spend it all." Said Tubbo with a tone of warning, knowing full well that Tommy would otherwise spend all the money on gapple and mcdo, he already did. This madman would be able to do it again.

"But why ?!" Tommy asked with a sad look on his face.

"Because we're going to save up for a new house first that's closer to Tower Heroes." Explained the little brunette while his friends looked at him without understanding why he wanted to move. "I'm tired of having to take the train and besides I hate living in the same street as a certain Karen." He explained.

Tommy sniffed. "It seems logical."

"How much does a house in District 5 cost you think ? Sounds like a pretty good District to live in." Ranboo suggested.

"Yeah, no." Said Tommy. "I don't want to live with bourgeois !" he complained.

"And in District 3 ?" Tubbo asked.

"I love District 3, like really, the District is great.... but we kinda, a lot, destroyed the District casino. If we go there, we die." Said Tommy looking at his phone.

"So which District are you suggesting Boss Man ?" asked the goat.

"District 6." Said the blonde with a smile on his face. "Or Between, it's a District known for the shops, fast food, restaurants, and of course, the hero Time who will always patrol there, making this District a fairly touristy and protected District." He explained looking at his two best friends.

Ranboo and Tubbo exchanged a look before looking back at Tommy.

"How much does a house cost over there ?" The tall brunette asked with a smile on his face.

--

It was now Monday, the day Ranboo would face Poker Face.

Tommy and Tubbo tried to reassure Ranboo that everything was fine, that it was going to be fine..

Ranboo didn't believe a word of it.

He had a very, very bad feeling.

'Maybe it's just the stress and anxiety that makes me feel like this...' Ranboo mused, but a part deep inside him knew that was wrong.

Something was going to happen. And they knew it.

--

Tubbo and Tommy went to Tower Heroes without Ranboo, Ranboo had to go to District 3, Las Nevadas, the Casino which was now under repair.
The two couldn't help but have a bad feeling, like something really bad was going to happen and there was nothing they could do.

Tommy and Tubbo hated this feeling. 

"Do you think things will go well with Ranboo ?" Tubbo asked.

'No' Tommy thought, 'There's no way this will go well.' he was thinking. But he couldn't say it out loud and risk his friend panicking about it. So he chose to lie. "Yeah ! Of course ! Why wouldn't it be ? Ranboo is a Big Man ! Nothing can happen to them !" he lied with a fake reassuring smile. He didn't believe it, and he even wondered if it was convincing enough for Tubbo to believe it. Luckily for him, he believed him.

"yeah.. I don't know what scares me about that.. Ranboo will be able to face Poker Face !" Tubbo said smiling, part of his fear of Ranboo and the hero meeting was gone. "Thank you Boss Man.." the hybrid said with a sincere smile.

Tommy was a little relieved that his friend believed his words. He would like to believe as much as he has his words...

---

Ranboo come face to face with the hero Poker Face. Ranboo wears an old light blue hoodie, beige cargo and black boots, while the hero in front of him wears his hero costume.

"I see there's a new face with you." noted Poker Face. Ranboo could swear that the hero looked him up and down seeming to judge him.

"Yes, it's Ranboo, our manager." said George quietly who was next to Ranboo with Dream and Sapnap, also in hero costume.

"Well, enchant, I'm Poker Face, main hero of Las Nevadas and hero number 8 of L'Manberg." Poker Face introduced himself, holding out a hand to Ranboo.

"I am Ranboo Underscore Beloved Innit, Dream Team Manager." the hybrid cow introduced herself, shaking Poker Face's hand. He had made his voice waver slightly in his presentation. After a few seconds, they let go of each other's hands.

Dream getting ready to speak, but a loud crash sounded behind Poker Face. Ranboo looked up at the noise and saw the villainous Mute.

Mute had as a villain costume a queens costume with a simple dark blue mask, his powers were curse words and bombs. He was on the roof of the Casino under construction (the exterior was rebuilt, but not the interior), next to him was the villainous RoseRedAngel. Her costume consisted of a light pink long sleeved top, a light red skirt, white knee high socks, blood red boots and she wore a light pink prom mask with slightly darker pink patterns. A few red roses came out of her and her costume. Her power was roses and plants.

As they appeared, many of the civilians screamed and fled the scene (one person dying while being hit by a car while trying to get away from the scene, Ranboo grimaced at the sight of the body).

"Ranboo, get away." Dream ordered without leaving the three heroes.

Ranboo was going to protest but RoseRedAngel attacked them with a giant rose coming out of the ground and trying to hit them, but luckily they dodged.

Ranboo looked at the heroes beside him who seemed determined to fight with the villains.

"Ranboo, you're going to go find the civilians and see if they're hurt or not, and if they are, call the hospital and wait with them, can you ?" Sapnap asked in a low voice.

Ranboo didn't answer but nodded before running towards where the civilians had gone.

The four heroes have started to fight.

-

After 12 minutes, Ranboo was in front of 38 civilians, 14 of whom were injured.

He heard an explosion sound behind him, even though they seemed to be quite far away. they turned around and saw in the distance the heroes and the 2 villains fighting.

Seeing the heroes and villains fight like this, Ranboo felt a feeling they wish they never felt again, that of feeling useless.

Ranboo had hoped that by becoming a villain, he could come in handy to 1) protect his friends, and 2) give the hero a job (yes, because if there weren't any villains, they wouldn't be there). of heroes). But right now, as a civilian, he felt helpless. As if everything they had done so far had been for naught. As if they were back in this little child's body, as if they were again someone weak, a pea too much for people. A person who cannot protect his loved ones. Obliging to watch the others fight, protecting him, sacrificing themself, dying, without being able to do anything. Back to the uselessness they were before becoming a villain.

Ranboo shook his head violently before turning back to hurt them. The ambulances had arrived and brought them to the hospital.

"Are you hurt sir ?" a nurse asked, moving closer to Ranboo.

"No, don't worry." he said in a reassuring voice.

"If you say so.. You should go home or if you live near the casino, go to a friend's." she says.

"I can't, I've been tasked with rounding up the injured civilians and watching over them until you arrive, and then I have to wait." Ranboo explained showing his Dream Team manager card which was hanging from his hoodie.

"oh, sorry I didn't see." said the nurse in an embarrassed tone. "I'll go now, and be careful." she said as she walked towards one of the ambulances.

Ranboo said goodbye to him, and as the ambulance left, they remembered the body that lay next to the casino.

"Looks like I'm going to have a body to hide.." Ranboo whispered.

-

When the heroes were done, they set out to search for Ranboo. They didn't know where he was and they didn't answer the phone.

What they didn't know was that as they walked away from the casino, down a small alley next to it, were Ranboo. He wore white surgical gloves. Next to him was the corpse of a woman.

Ranboo sighed in relief when he saw that the heroes had gone to who knows where.

Ranboo hugged the corpse, careful that the blood only touched his gloves. There was an open manhole next to the garbage can in the alley. Ranboo threw the body into the sewers before closing them with the lid that was on the trash can, and he moved the trash can over the sewers.

Ranboo sighed before removing his gloves and putting them in one of his cargo pockets.

They pulled out of the alley and turned it on.

Dream/Clay
3 missed call(s)

404/George
1 missed call(s)

FireMan/Sapnap
7 missed call(s)

'Damn' thought Ranboo.

Maybe they shouldn't have put they're phone on silent...

Chapter Text

"Where were you ?!" Dream asked holding Ranboo by the shoulders.

Dream, Sapnap, George and Poker Face were back at Tower Heroes on floor 18 which was Poker Face, and they had asked Ranboo to join them there.

And that's why they're in this situation: Dream acting like an angry and worried father, Sapnap who was so worried that he was just asking Ranboo questions at full speed, so fast that Ranboo had a hard time understand the words of the oldest; George who had pulled out a medical kit from who knows where and who was checking Ranboo for any wounds that needed treatment, and Poker Face in the background laughing.

Ranboo currently regrets all of his life choices.

"Like I said, I was with the wounded civilians, I was waiting for the ambulances, when they arrived I waited for them to take the wounded before leaving, I headed for the casino, I am hiding for the end of the fight, when I was sure that the fight was over I came out of my hiding place, but you were no longer in the casino." Ranboo explained for the 12th time (yes he counted).

"Okay, but why didn't you answer the calls ?!" Dream asked.

"You shouldn't have gone back to the casino ! Especially if the fight wasn't over ! You could have been badly injured !" George said as he put a bandage around Ranboo's leg which was a bit burned (he must have burned himself during the destruction of District 16).

Ranboo didn't answer.

He felt like the heroes really cared about him, almost as much as Tommy and Tubbo cared about him.

But that was impossible, heroes are evil. They let Tommy die, it's thanks to Bad that he survived ! And they were corrupt too, they tried to kill Tubbo under orders from his father, Schlatt, he survived because he managed to escape with the help of Tommy !

Heroes are bad, Ranboo must not forget it.

Still, a small pain appeared in his chest at the idea that all heroes were evil. Tommy always told him that XD was an evil hero, and he always said that he didn't care about others, that anyone who import was to kill this hero. And Tubbo always said that the government was corrupt, that Schlatt corrupted them, that Schlatt worked with villains and heroes, that both sides obeyed him, that he corrupted them. That only vigilantes weren't corrupt, at least not yet. That's why Tubbo doesn't care about vigilantes, as long as they don't get between him and their plans to kill Schlatt and XD and thus de-corrupt L'Manberg.

But Tommy and Tubbo never told Ranboo that ALL heroes were bad, only XD and Schlatt.

So... So maybe he could afford to get attached to the heroes ? At least to his heroes there ? They seemed so...real. As if they really cared about him.

Ranboo wanted to allow himself to believe it. To believe that they cared about him.

But he soon remembered that they cared about him as Ranboo, as End, they wouldn't be worried, they would have fought him, even if he was hurt.

Ranboo somewhat regrets becoming a villain.

--

Tommy had finished filling out the paperwork for the District 16 fire. He had to do paperwork for everyone who had died in the fire.

16 dead for District 16.

He thought the numbers were fine.

16 dead in District 16.

Its sounding good to his ears.

Tommy, compared to what others may think, is not dumb or sane, he is smart, deceitful and not sane. Tommy liked to see people die, at least he liked to see some people die. He loved seeing bad people die, screaming for their lives, regretting what they did... Tommy loved watching that.

And the 16 dead people in this district, was calculated in advance by his greatest care.

Tommy is smart, deceitful and manipulative; never forget it.

He spent a lot of time in District 16, he saw a lot. He had a lot of murderous urges, as Bad call them.

These 16 people were either parents beating their children, or people with pretty big criminal records or who should have a criminal record, but don't because the police/heroes never go to District 16 and therefore don't never stop.
All of his deaths were premeditated in some way.
But no one needed to know that.
Tommy liked to be the only one who knew, because if Ranboo or Tubbo found out what he had done, that all the deaths from their fires were planned and calculated by Tommy himself, he knows that would be the end of their threesome .

He didn't want their friendship to end, so he tried to stop planning the deaths in advance, he swears he tried ! But after his time spent in District 16, Tommy had grown tired of seeing children beat, he had to do something ! Because he knew no one else would... So he started over. He's planning murders again. And he blamed himself a bit, he had promised himself not to do it again to be sure that Tubbo and Ranboo wouldn't leave him, but he didn't keep his promise. He rarely held them.

"Tommy ! have you finally done ?" Wilbur asked as he walked into Tommy's office.

Tommy got out of his thoughts of Wilbur's arrival, he turned around and saw that Wilbur was not in hero's clothes, he was wearing a yellow sweater, blue pants and black sneakers.

"Yes I just finished, why ?" Tommy asked.

Tommy wearing a red sweater, beige pants and white sneakers.

Wilbur's eyes seemed to light up, and Tommy definitely didn't like that.

"We leave !" Said the brunette with a smile.

"Nope." Tommy replied directly.

"Why ?" Wilbur asked as his smile fell.

"I have to work." said Tommy, turning back to his pc.

"But you said you were done !" said Wilbur, tapping his foot a little.

"You're such a kid.." the blonde said smiling and rolling his eyes.

"Hey !"

"And to answer your question, I've finished filling out the paperwork on the fire dead, but I still have to do some paperwork on the fire victims." Tommy explained.

"And how many do you have left ?" asked the child-adult.

"14." Tommy answered quietly.

"14 ?! This is going to take all afternoon !" cried Wilbur.

"Yep, and I plan to finish tonight." Tommy explained.

"So you will do it after, before you have to eat, mate." Phil said walking into the office.

Tommy turned around and Phil was also in civilian clothes, a green sweater, dark green pants, and black shoes. Technoblade was next to Phil and also wearing civilian clothes, a white sweater, black pants, and black boots.

Tommy sighed knowing he would have no choice but to have to eat with them.

"Do I really have a choice ?" asked the blonde with a white lock.

"Nope." Phil and Wilbur said at the same time as Techno shook his head.

Tommy sighed again. He who hoped that the day would be fast, it looks like he's lying down.

"Let's go then." said Tommy with a fake smile and fake joy. The three heroes must not have noticed, because they smiled (even Techno gave a small smile!) and started to take Tommy to the elevator. They were talking about going to a nearby restaurant that Wilbur said served the best food.

'I'm starting to regret coming..' the blond thought.

--

Arriving at the restaurant, he saw that it was Bad's.

The room was like the one that can be found in a very fancy restaurant. Except, there was a beautiful red carpet on the floor, mostly covering the beautiful clean white floor.

Bad was behind the hall counter.

"Hello, welcome to MuffinRestaurant." Bad said looking up from some papers and looking at the three heroes and Tommy. "Hello again Philza, Wilbur and Techno !" Bad said. "And..." he turned to Tommy and met his gaze. His face went from happy to shock to even happier. "Tom-Tom !" Bad said stepping out from behind the counter. He walked over to Tommy, raising his arms in a hug. Tommy sprinted over to Bad and gave him a hug, which Bad hurried back.

"It has been a long time !" Tommy says as Bad nods. "You didn't say you were opening a restaurant !" he said.

"I forgot, sorry Tom-Tom.." Bad said as he and Tommy walked away.

"Huh- do you know each other ?" Wilbur asked as Tommy jumped at the voice.

"BY JESUS CHRIST I FORGOT YOUR EXISTENCE !" Tommy said turning back to the three heroes.

"Language !" Bad said.

Tommy chuckled a bit, at least Bad hadn't changed.

Now that he was closer to Bad, Tommy noticed that he was wearing a brown shirt, dark brown cargo pants, black low boots and a large white apron with a nametag and the name of the restaurant on it. He hadn't changed too much in physique, he still had short black hair, his black skin, his long black horns and his long black tail, his eyes were still bright white, but a little less bright than before.

"And to answer your question, Bad is like my father figure and he's one of the people who raised me." Tommy explained.

Maybe he shouldn't have said it, that if they find out that Bad is a villain, then they'll think Tommy is a villain too, and then he'll be found out, and Tubbo and Ranboo will also be found out like the three. are married...

Yeah, he had very clearly just screwed himself and his husbands up if they found out Bad was a villain.

"Oh" was all Philza said, looking away.

He looked like someone who just realized he thought or said something wrong, stupid, meaningless.

-

Tommy is smart. The smartest of his group of friends (hence smarter than Tubbo and Ranboo).

Tommy is someone who is observant, listens...

Before he was a villain, before the "incident" with XD, even before he was a mortal being, Tommy is an observer and a listener. Someone who lives to observe and listen to others. He's been a watcher and a listener for years, and he kind of still is, except now he's also acting.

Thanks to all his years of experience, observation, he knows, he can guess what a person is thinking.

And according to Tommy, Phil thinks 'I thought the kid didn't have parents.. I feel a little stupid..'

Tommy knows Phil sees him as some kind of third child ever.

How ?
Like I said, Tommy is a listener. With his years of listening through doors, walls, houses... He now manages to listen from afar.

And this morning, from his office, while Philza and Techno were talking in some sort of living room on their floor, he heard Phil calling him "son."

He can use it if they ever find out he's a villain, he'll pull out the 'family I always wanted' card or something emotional like that.

Tommy is an emotional manipulator, as well as an observer and a listener; do not forget it :)

"Well, is it for a table of four ?" Bad asked happily.

"Did we notice DadHalo ?" Tommy asked with a smile.

Ok, maybe Tommy abusing it by calling Bad 'DadHalo' knowing that Phil is there and sees him as a son, but can you blame him ? He hates heroes, Phil is not an exception.

'I might start calling Philza "Dadza".. It might make him trust me, and get more information as well as more luck than if they find out I'm a villain and make a sad pass, they Won't hopefully attack me or lock me up.' thought Tommy.

"Yes, a table of four, please Bad." said/asked Wilbur.

Bad sat them down at a table and handed them their menus, said he'd be back in five minutes to take their orders.

"So, did you see it on Twitter ?" asked Wilbur.

"Look at what ?" asked Phil.

"I haven't seen anything. I'm not on social media, let alone Twitter." Techno said.

"Are you talking about the Over, End and Theseus accounts ? If so, yeah I saw." said Tommy.

"They have Twitter accounts ?!" asked shocking Phil, looking up from his menu.

"Yeah, with some confidential info never released to the public yet !" Wilbur said, pulling out his phone.

He showed the three Twitter accounts to Techno and Phil.

"These are the real ones.. Over and End even posted pictures of during some of their attacks." Phil noted as Wilbur put away his phone.

"No shit Sherlock !" Tommy said looking up from his menu and rolling his eyes, without a smile or any real emotion behind it, other than a bit of mockery.

'They look very stupid like that..' the villain mentally noted.

"What ?" Techno asked coldly, not liking the look Tommy gave him.

Tommy chuckled as he pulled his phone out from under the table (when did he pull it out ? Along with Wilbur.), he was on Twitter, on his civilian account called 'BigInnit', in the comments of one of Theseus' posts.

"The comments make me laugh." said Tommy pointing to some comments.

Tommy smiled a little at the comments, he didn't expect to have fans.

'I should read the comments more often.' thought Tommy. 'It puts you in a good mood.'

On the other hand, as Tommy picked up his phone and put it away, Wilbur, Techno, and Phil didn't like this news.

"Shit.." said Wilbur. "He has fans.. I feel bad about him.."

"I feel it just as bad.." Phil said with a sigh.

"He's going to create some sort of army of villains, new villains." Techno said as he sat back in his chair.

'Created an army ? To do for what ? Why would I do this ? Tubbo and Ranboo is enough for me !' Tommy thought as he stared at Techno.

Before Tommy could express his thoughts, Bad came up to them and asked for their orders.

Chapter Text

Tommy was tired.

It was 11:49 p.m. and he still couldn't sleep.

It had been a long day, especially at noon because him and the SBI talked about the Twitter accounts.

Tommy sighed before getting up from his bed and putting on his villain costume.

If he couldn't sleep, so why not have a little fun ?

He's going to set fire to the houses of the rich.

Will he warn Tubbo and Ranboo ? No, because he wants to go alone.

It had been a long time since Tommy had attacked a place alone, without Tubbo and/or Ranboo to tell him to be careful.

Tommy opened his window, got out quietly, closed the window, took out his beautiful wings, and flew to District 2.

He hopes he can see XD, talk to him, yell at him, fight him.

Arriving at District 2, he saw a magnificent white house. Smiling under his mask, Tommy touched the fingertips of his left hand to the window that led to the kitchen while his right hand held a lighter.
He intended to blow up random places in the house and then burn the house with the lighter.

The place where the window was exploded, Tommy went back through the hole where the explosion was made, he lit a fire in the kitchen using the lighter. He wandered around the big house touching and exploding everything he found; walls, TV, telephone, shelves,.. and he set fire to all the papers, sheets, documents, tickets he saw with the lighter.

The family who live there, were caught in the flames that Tommy had created using the lighter.

Tommy walked over to the mother, who was begging for her life and the life of her son. Tommy put his hand on the mother's head, and her head exploded. Blood splattered on the walls, son and father watching Theseus horrified, screaming the name of the now deceased lady, beheaded by Theseus himself. Theseus did the same to father and son before leaving, heading for the house next door.

And he repeated this process.

12 times.

12 times before the neighborhood was completely burned down, blood coming out of the burning houses, and Tommy was standing in the middle of the burning neighborhood. A smile under his mask.

And he was there. Just ahead of Theseus.

His mask showing no emotion.

His straight body in his hero costume.

XD was standing right in front of him.

"I find you very daring today, Theseus." says XD. "And alone too, Over and End are not there." he observed.

"Don't I have the right to be alone ?" asked Theseus without waiting for an answer. "Over and End aren't there ! It's just me." he announced. "Only you and me." his voice held venom towards the end.

XD seemed to stare at him.

"Why did you kill so many innocent people ?" XD asked.

There were no innocents. Only abusers, bullies and rapists.

"I hate rich people, and you, why did you let a 4 year old die in a fire over 12 or 13 years ago now ?" asked Theseus, raising his chin defiantly.

XD remained silent.

Even with the mask, Theseus knows he is shocked, it shows in his body which has become tense.

Theseus smiled under his mask.

That he liked to see people regret their choices.

"I- I don't know what you're talking about..." stammered XD.

Tommy rolled his eyes under the mask.

"Oh ? Don't you remember ? The little Tommy Careful Danger Kraken ? The little one you dared to look in the eye and say he was dead, there were no survivors left ! Dead by your fault ! BECAUSE YOUR LIE !" Theseus explained, anger rising in his voice.

"I had no choice !" said XD, with regret in his voice.

"Oh ? Really and why is that ?" Theseus asked, his patience fading, replaced by impatience and anger.

A very bad mix according to Tommy. Especially when XD is in front of him.

"Schlatt made me." said XD, regret growing in his voice.

"Schlatt ? Why the hell would he want to kill a child ?" asked Theseus confused.

How did Schlatt even know of his existence when at the time he didn't even know Tubbo ?!

"He told me that I had to kill this kid, Tommy Careful Danger Kraken, that he had a dangerous power, and that in the future he would become a killing machine. Someone very dangerous not only to society, but also for himself." XD explained, his voice starting to crack, as if he was going to cry.

To say Tommy was shocked would be an understatement.

"And you listened to Schlatt ?! That asshole ?! You killed a child because he asked you ?!" Theseus shouted at XD.

He could scream, because no one was around, only XD and Theseus. And only the two of them.

"Listen, I know I screwed up ! That I killed an innocent child ! And not a day goes by that I don't think about that child ! Not a Sunday that I don't go visit his grave! The day or District 16 burned down, you burned it down, I was at he's grave !" Said XD as he started crying under his mask.

Tommy didn't know what to do; he had never expected this.

He wasn't sure if it was real or not, but it's true that when he went to the cemetery to see the grave that was made for him after XD to announce his death (although there isn't corpse, because, well, he's alive), XD was there often (in civilian form). Especially on Sundays.

Theseus, taking pity on him (he didn't feel bad at all for having been wrong about this all his life.. No, not at all) walked over to XD, XD didn't move, he was just wiping away the tears under his mask, and Theseus gave XD a hug.

XD stiffened at first, before melting into the hug Theseus offered and allowed himself to cry for once, in someone's arms.

They stayed like that, hugging for 6 minutes, XD was done crying now, just enjoying the hug.

"I'm sure he forgives you. If it's true." Theseus whispered to XD.

Well, in truth, Tommy didn't know whether he would forgive or not. He will have to think about it.

"You think ?" asked XD uncertain.

"Yeah, Tommy was a good guy and didn't hold grudges. And it's been over 12 or 13 years now, and you've apologized many times, you felt guilty; he must have moved on and wished the real guilty, therefore Schlatt, pays for what he did." Theseus explained.

"Maybe but how do you make him pay ?" XD asked.

"We'll find a way, I'm sure !" said Theseus. "Karma will catch up with him, I'm sure ! He will make a mistake at some point, and when he does, we'll be there to make him pay."

By killing him.

But he didn't need to say it, XD already understood.

"We ?" said XD, never letting go of Theseus, like he was made of gold.

"Yes, we. You and me." Theseus said.

"But you're a villain-" XD began before Theseus cut him off.

"I know, but it doesn't change the fact that we both want revenge for Tommy." Said Theseus.

XD didn't answer, so Theseus resumed.

"Let's put our differences aside, and team up to avenge Tommy." Theseus said letting go of XD and stepping away a bit, XD let go of him reluctantly. Theseus put his hand out to XD, asking for a handshake. "Squeeze my hand, and we'll have a deal, we'll do anything to avenge Tommy." he explained.

After a few seconds of thinking, XD shook hands with Theseus.

And just like that, their fate was sealed.

---

After making the deal with XD, Theseus returned home.

Once at home he put on his pajamas and went to bed, telling himself that he was going to think about all this tomorrow.

But first, he posted a photo of himself in front of two burning houses that he had taken earlier that night.

He posted as caption 'A new night, a new crimes :)'

And Tommy turned off his phone and fell asleep.

---

Tommy has never been so happy to work.

Ranboo and Tubbo had been bothering him all the morning about why setting fires and killing people in District 2 was dangerous, especially alone.

Tommy didn't tell them about XD, preferring to keep it to himself.

Tommy didn't know if he had made the right choice, he had done it on a whim actually.

But in his defense, XD felt sorry for him and he didn't expect what XD said, and he even less expected XD to start crying.

Oh fuck- he saw XD, the number 1 hero, cry-

"Tommy ? Are you okay ? Do you want me to take you upstairs to the infirmary ?" asked the voice of AI Henry.

Tommy sighed, it's true, he's in the elevator, and he's at work.

Ranboo had to go to floor -30 from Warden, so he went to the other elevator with Tubbo.

"Yeah.. Infirmary floor please Henry.." Tommy said with a sigh.

He felt oddly tired, he felt like he could fall asleep at any moment. He also felt like he had lost a lot of blood.
And the loss of blood was possible, not because XD would have hurt him during the fight, nah, XD was nice (it's the first time in 12 years that he thinks that XD MAY BE nice... weird fact), nah it was because while he was setting fire to and killing people in District 2, house 7, someone had stabbed him in the hip with an ax, and he had fought it too. At that moment he hadn't felt the pain because he had more important things to do (bring XD) and there was also the adrenaline. But now ? He can only think about the pain, because when he's not thinking about the pain, he's thinking about what happened with XD.

And he hates to think about it, because he doesn't know if he did the right thing or not.

The doors opened and Tommy exited the elevator. He was on floor 40, the infirmary floor.

A nurse walked up to him.

"Why are you here ?" asked the nurse.

"My hip hurts and I feel like I'm going to pass out any minute.." Tommy explained.

And as if to prove his point, Tommy passed out without warning. Falling head first to the ground.

The nurse called some other doctors, and they put Tommy on a bed, and started examining him.

--

Saying that Wilbur was worried would be a lie, he was much more than worried.

Already when he saw that Tommy still wasn't there at 11am, he panicked.

So imagine his reaction when Henry announced that Tommy had been in the infirmary for over an hour.

Wilbur, Phil and Techno were on floor 40, all quite freaking out, as a doctor told them what Tommy had.

"Tommy has a broken rib and a very deep hip gash." explained the doctor.

Wilbur paled as the doctor spoke. A broken rib ? A deep hip gash ?!

'How the hell did Tommy end up like this ?!' thought Wilbur.

As the father and his two sons arrived at Tommy's bedside, they saw the child lying in bed, with beige cargo, white socks and red converse. His red sweater and white t-shirt was on the nightstand next to the bed, his chest and hip were bandaged, blood on one hip was visible even through his bandages.

Phil grimaced at the sight, who could have done that to their little manager ? He don't deserve that !

Techno's voices were loud, asking for the blood of whoever had done this to Tommy.

Wilbur wondering who could have done this to Tommy. Who had hurt his Sunshine ?! He thought it must have been Theseus.

"Who did this to him ?" Philza asked, not really waiting for an answer.

"I'm not sure, but it must be Theseus." said Wilbur with the anger in his voice.

"And why ?" Techno asked.

"Theseus destroyed 12 houses, killed everyone in their houses, and fought with XD that night." Wilbur explained. "Maybe Tommy was there and got hurt trying to get away."

Tommy's breath hitched for a second, before picking up a rhythm as if he were asleep. No one noticed he was awake, and had been for a while.

'Me ? Got into a fight with XD ? Put myself hurt ? Is it possible ?!' thought Tommy. 'I wonder what XD said, depending on what he said, I could create a pretty good version of why I'm hurt.'

"XD said he didn't beat Theseus, Theseus was very strong." explained the brunette. "He said Theseus left when the Police arrived saying 'I'm out of time, we'll continue next time.' and after Theseus said that, he would have flown away and disappeared into the clouds of the sky." he finished.

Ok, Tommy could find a consistent story with that.

Tommy opened his eyes, blinking several times at the light.

Wilbur, Techno and Phil had stopped talking, watching Tommy 'wake up'.

"yo." was all Tommy said as he woke up.

As Tommy tried to sit up in bed, Phil instantly layed him back down.

"The doctors said you shouldn't get up !" Phil said with a tone that left no room for argument.

Tommy rolled his eyes, the old man was lucky he was too tired to argue.

"What happened to you ?" asked Wilbur.

Tommy shrugged.

"I don't know, I was just wandering around District 13, Pogtopia, and the vigilant Purpled was fighting with the villainous CineTV, I guess I must have gotten hit." Tommy lied.

Luckily he had watched the news this morning.

"What the hell were you doing in Pogtopia ?" Techno asked.

"I couldn't sleep, and when I can't sleep, I wander around all the L'Manberg Districts." Tommy explained.

"So you went to District 2 ?" Phil asked calmly.

"Yeah, right before I got home." said Tommy. "At one point, there was a very loud noise towards one of the aisles, there was a lot of fire and from afar I think I saw like Theseus and XD fighting. Even if it looked more like a dance. " Tommy lied.

If XD had lied about him meeting Theseus, then Tommy might be lying about him finding XD and Theseus fighting.

It's fairly fair.

And he gives an alibi for both of them, of why they're hurt.
