Chapter Text
Honestly? Tommy struggles a lot- but to hell if he ever told anyone.
Closest he got to telling someone was calling Tubbo during a breakdown.
Which- he preferred not to remember. After all, his biggest secret was almost revealed!
Tommy was a 17 year old boy with some slight powers. And by slight he meant powers- and by powers he mea- well? It wasn’t something he particularly wanted to get into. Tommy was a mostly peaceful guy- aside from when he- again not something he was going to think about. The day was over and he had to get home- Tommy would never hear the end of it from Tubs if he was late getting home.
So when at 9 pm on a saturday night did Tommy Innit find himself face to face with L’manberg’s most wanted supervillain? Let’s just say the blond wasn’t all that pleased.
“Could you uh- fucking move dickhead?” The annoyed teen didnt look up at first, almost running into the slightly taller man.
“hUh- what? Did you just call me a dickhead?” A surprised and yet slightly amused voice spoke.
The somewhat familiar voice caused Tommy to look up- of fucking course it’s Phantom- the blond cursed in his head for reacting quickly. His eyes widened a bit, staring at the villain.
Phantom was possibly the most feared villain alongside Death’s Angel and The Blade. Having multiple powers per say. Including going through objects and turning fully invisible. While called a supervillain, Phantom rarely ever actually killed anyone. Such was the case for most villains actually- heroes were the ones who killed people.. Not like they got held accountable.
Shit- I’m definitely going to be late. Tommy grumbled internally but his gaze hardened staring daggers at Phantom.
“Yes, yes I did bitch” He spoke harshly to the villain- now normal people would be scared shitless at the fact a known villain was standing in front of him- but this blond teenager only really cared that he was in a hurry.
The emo looking villain stood in front of Tommy staring. Completely stunned for words before letting out a laugh. His shoulders relaxed slightly, finding the kid interesting.
“Say kid, what’s your name? And how come you're so blunt to me? You dooo know who I am right?” While to most people that would be a dumb question- he was a TOP villain after all! What idiot wouldn’t know? Considering however this child just called him ‘dickhead’ and ‘bitch’ it was almost a real question.
“Of course I do Phantom but I really need to get home, so i’d appreciate if you could move the fuck out of the way! BITCH” He threw in the last part with a slight nervous tone- he wasn't scared- I mean- Tommy could definitely take Phantom if they got in a fight- “Also I am a BIG MAN! Not a kid!”
“Right right- so- your na-”
“Fuck! Dude I don't care what you want- I need to go-” Tommy shoved past Phantom and started running, giving him the middle finger.
The villain stood confused for a minute before shaking his head. Muttering something like ‘strange kid’ before continuing to walk away.
Tommy ran into the house and sighed- checking his phone. Right on time! Tubbo had started timing when Tommy got in- not because he was paranoid or anything- due to the recent villain sightings in his district. Tubbo and Ranboo were constantly worried about Tommy.
Both had jobs available at home- which was good considering NEITHER of them had social skills. Tommy however worked at a simple cafe. The owner was really nice- her name was Niki Nihachu. Tommy worked mostly night shifts- but today he was covering for Jack another worker so it was a day shift.
Of course he was still coming home late since he decided to take both shifts- leading Tommy to be…let's just say a bit in a bad mood…The British boy went face first into the couch ready to pass out.
“TOMMY- why didn't you say you were home? I was bout to call you!” A much shorter boy with brown hair and small ram horns walked in. Seeing Tommy on the couch and began to worry. “Are you okay? Not hurt or anything right- no villains attacked?”
Tubbo didn't consider villains downright bad- but he also didn't think they would protect a random citizen- also Tommy had given Tubbo the excuse before that a villain-hero fight gave him a broken arm..no other reason- Now Tubbo wouldn't let Tommy be out anytime late.
Tommy waved a distressed hand to Tubbo groaning in reply, “I’m fine Tubs! Just tired from a double shift is all… Had to run back so I wouldn't be late- but the bastard Phantom was in the…way..” His voice got quiet realizing he just added fuel to the fire, “Now I don't mean he hu-”
“YOU RAN INTO PHANTOM? TOMMY DID HE HURT YOU- LET ME GO KILL HI-”
“Tubbo? What’s wrong- did something happen to Tommy?” His other roommate Ranboo ran in startled. He had split black and white hair with matching green and red eyes. A rather tall fucker as well! Ranboo looked nervous staring between Tubbo and Tommy.
“He just said PHANTOM was out on the street and bl-”
“JESUS CHRIST SHUT UP! …Ah.. sorry- im just tired.” Tommy sighed, sitting up finally and glaring at both of them. This finally shut up Tubbo and Ranboo just looked uncomfortable.
“NOTHING and I mean NOTHING happened. I ran into him- he started a conversation- i cursed him out- and left. That is all! I did not get hurt- and he wasn't trying to either.” Tommy shook his head. The avian- oh right Tommy’s an avian- though his wings never really grew in so no one believes him. The avian yawned slightly laying back down on the couch
“Now shut up and let me sleep!”
Tubbo and Ranboo looked at each other with worry but didn't bother speaking again. Knowing Tommy was already in a bad enough mood as it were.
