Summary

Tommy realized that maybe bringing a bleeding supervillain into his apartment at three in the morning was a terrible idea a little too late. or, Tommy is an extremely tired citizen who wants to be as far away from villains and heroes as possible (and yet somehow he’s a magnet for them). or or, I’m following the hyperfixation and writing a villain!SBI and semi-citizen Tommy fic (:

Tommy has a act first think later mentality which always makes for a good rollercoaster of events. :)

“He ignores the aching feeling in his back, biting the inside of his cheek as he hops down off of the countertop, hoping that the Blade doesn’t notice the grimace making its way across his features”I read too many wing-fics for this bit to not sound alarm bells in my mind…“ Tommy brings the kit down and, paired with a freshly cleaned washcloth and bowl of water, he makes his way over to the sofa, setting both items onto the ground. It’s times like this where he wished he had a coffee table to make this sort of stuff more accessible, but oh well. He’s learned to adapt.” Hm. I double checked the tags, and I see this is an au with hybrids and Phil has wings… Tommy had his cut off, maybe? That’s my suspicion.

““Civilians don’t like villains,” Blade says matter-of-factly, and Tommy groans.They always say that.”ahahah“In fact, Tommy’s only met Philza three times: once when he first applied and got accepted, once when he’d been given a free comic book out of nowhere, and another time when the guy literally came bolting through the bookstore to beat the shit out of some random person who had tried to talk lippy to Karl.”ahahahahah

Don’t take it the wrong way, or I’ll clart you.” He says after helping him with his injuries 😂 “Stay safe out there, Tommy,” the Blade says, reaching out to pat the boy’s head before whirling around, blood red cape trailing behind him as he heads for the front door. “Oh, and, uh, I’ll be contactin’ you soon.” At Tommy’s confused (and vaguely fearful expression), Techno adds, “I do owe you, after all.” 'dramatic bitch' says the wee little Tommy gremlin who lives in my head after reading this lmao The man straightens, “Wilbur.” “Understandable,” Tommy hums, and the man - Wilbur? - frowns. “The fuck is that supposed to mean?” Ahahahaha Tommy gets under his skin so well its hilarious 😂Tommy really said, then perish, at the end huh

oh my goodness this is so good already, so many questions, was tommy a hero? does his distain from them come from seeing them first hand like that? what was the incident? guessing it had something to do with techno cause he was called 'theseus' in it and it happened right after he was there, was he fighting techno as a hero? that would explain a lot, damn so many questions i cant wait to get the answers to

Hold up… HOLD UP. YOU UPDATED THE TAGS BUT YOU DIDN’T UPDATE THE ACTUAL STORY?!?! Dude, I thought you were gone forever. Will you ever finish this? I understand if you won’t because of Wilbur, but I just need to know that, so I don’t have to check to see if this was updated every day.

2 things1, I adore this, hybrids are a thing in this universe and that just makes me think, are there any hidden hybrids? Also techno being forced to go with wilbur to the coffee shop to make sure phil's order is correct this time and just spotting the tiny child that saved him.2) any and everytime some brings up Tommy's height I just remember the clip where dream was telling about Tommy's height and just,Dream: he's standing straight and he is NOT 6'3Tommy's back: )
