1. Escaping Jubilee! ..or not

Crackling static buzzed through Tommy's earpiece. "Ayup Tommy, slow it down. There's a pro on patrol." This earned a grunt from the younger.

Tommy had his eyes set on meeting a specific pro tonight so he could swipe his quirk, but Tubbo had other plans. In his eyes, the best thing to do is stop the drug deal and leave because getting too close to pro heroes is too dangerous. Tommy didn't care or want to listen.

Well, that's what Tubbo and Ranboo think.

Tommy thinks that he could beat the pros in fights. Could he? Depends on the pro, but his ego is too big to admit that.

"Tubbo I can't slow it down- I need to get a swipe on Jubilee."

There was only one reason Tommy wants to meet pro hero Jubilee in person. And that's because of his quirk.

Tommy's quirk was well... Interesting. He was similar to a raccoon with the whole stealing your power thing, except it was more of a forceful borrowing scheme. Touch the person, forcefully borrow and use their power, and then leave. Easy as that, right?

Well, it's a lot harder than it sounds. And Tommy learned that the hard way.

Tommy scampered into a dark alleyway, quietly trying to listen for any suspicious activity. His earpiece buzzed again.

"Tommy, change of plans. You're set on pocketing Jubilee's quirk, yeah?"

Tommy hummed. "Well... Yeah. That's literally what I've been on about all month." he made his way into a dumpster and began to scour around, searching for nothing in particular. Maybe tonight's dinner if he's lucky.

And on the topic of the month, it was currently the middle of June. The weather was all hot and humid and the air scorched your airways as you breathed it in. Tommy's vigilante costume was not made for this kind of weather. A hoodie and long pants in this humidity? In this economy? Yikes.

"Two pros are on the drug deal right now, so I don't want you heading down that path. It's too risky to even try without Ranboo to warp you out."

More static buzzing.

Tommy's artificial raccoon ears twitched in reaction to his brainwaves. His artificial tail swished behind him.

"More pros you say?" a devilish grin spread across the young blonde's face, being covered by a mask.

A sigh was heard on the other end of the communication line. Disappointing.

"Big T, you're not stealing Philza or Blitz's quirk. I'm not letting you die tonight. Not in this economy."

He sputtered and choked on his saliva.

"Philza- you mean like the fucking Philza!? Like number two pro hero and his son number one hero Blitz!?" he practically screamed. Tommy was fucking ecstatic— practically radiating energy.

"Oi, keep it down. Listen, just stay from the drug site and head to the town square, it'll take about six or so minutes if you jump rooftops." Tubbo paused momentarily as the sound of keyboard clicks and taps were heard by Tommy.

"What's goin' on down at the square and why would Jubilee be there?" he questioned. Like honestly, the most happening at the town square would be a robbery of the convenience store-

"There's a robbery at the convenience store. Some guys have guns." he went on like that nonchalantly. Just a couple of bros with lethal weapons y'know? What could go wrong?

---

Everything went wrong.

Tommy was currently hunched behind a shitty store display as the yelling of men rang through the whole store. Everyone was evacuated but Tommy still had yet to find Jubilee.
