2. Long Day at Work

Today was a typical workday at Niki's bakery, if not slower than usual. Tommy thumped his fingers on the marble counter in front of him.

Hearing the ring of the front door opening with three different people's heavy footsteps walking into the bakery.

And those three people are in the top ten pro heroes.

Number one pro hero Blitz.

His father, number two pro hero Philza.

His elder brother, number three pro hero Jubilee.

Fuck.

Tommy watched in awe as Philza— no THE FUCKING PHILZA walked toward him. Was he busted? No, no— surely he's not busted. There's no way he was recognizable to Jubilee. His fake ears were off, right?

He stood upright as Philza stood before him with a caring smile, Jubilee and Blitz standing behind. Jubilee carried a similar smile to Philza, and Blitz was not smiling at all. He was rather... Intimidating. Everyone thought that.

All of them were freaks of nature.

Jubilee was six foot five, Philza was six-foot-eight, and Blitz was seven foot two. Jubilee was the only normal-ish one in height. His personality... Not so much.

"Hey mate, how's a window table sound?" Philza chirped to his two sons. Both of them shrugged, they didn't seem to mind much. But Tommy minded. Why were the three heroes in this bakery on this day at this time when it's his shift?

Tommy snagged his notepad and pen in a rush, staring at the three men intently. "Would you like to be seated?" He performed a small pen flip which was in all honesty, very cool. It helps attract the ladies. Did you know that TommyInnit is very popular with the ladies? Of course you did. It's because he's very popular.

"Of course, lead the way kiddo." Phil smiled. Cheeky fuckin bastard— TommyInnit is NOT a child. A kiddo? No. He is not.

Tommy clicked his tongue and cocked his brow in annoyance. "Will do." He pushed through the small door that led outside of the counter and led the way to a corner seat with windows. The sun's rays filtered in and Tommy squinted.

The three heroes quickly sat and got comfortable as Tommy lifted his notepad and pen, waiting for them to finish skimming the menu.

After about a minute of skimming, Tommy piped up. "Are you three gentlemen ready to order?" he inquired politely. He never really understood why he needed to be so polite when he first got the job. Especially with the formalities. But he stuck with it for work, he needed the money.

Philza was the first to place his order. "I'll just have a black coffee and omelet, please." Tommy scribbled the order down on the notepad and looked over at the other two. He hoped that they didn't want complicated orders. Tommy just wants this over with.

Jubilee was giving Tommy a harsh glare and Blitz was still scrolling through his options. Is Blitz a picky eater? Strange.

Tommy sighed. What annoying heroes. Why can't they hurry up and order like everyone else? They aren't special just because they're powerful and famous.

"Are you ready to order sir?" He directed Jubilee. He wanted to get this interaction over with as soon as possible. Philza wasn't the worst but called him kiddo. Blitz was just too intimidating. And Jubilee was... Angry?

Jubilee huffed and pointed at Tommy's face. "What's wrong with it?"

Philza coughed as Blitz turned to the older man in concern.

It? TommyInnit is not an it. He is a he. And he is pissed.

"Mate don't go around saying that—"
