Tommy POV-

Hot tears were still streaming down my face when the dark sky became a pale blue, with soft oranges and pinks painting it here and there. Its thinning light sprinkled a cold glow over me, making me reach for my phone, 5:09am, I slowly got up and got dressed in black  jeans, and a black coat over a red turtleneck sweater, hiding the large purple bruise left from my neck, down to my shoulders. I can thank the blade for that.

The tips of my fingers ghosted over my neck, a slowly caressed the bruise and I hissed, quickly moving my hand away from it, "fucking hell", I muttered, it hadn't hurt this much when I first got hit, or- if it did, I didn't notice.

I left quickly, and quietly, not wanting to wake up Ranboo and Tubbo.

I had run to get five cups of coffee at the cafe near the heroes Headquarters, which was in the center of Lmanberg, and where I was, was near the outskirts and pretty far from the center, hence why I was up so early. 

By the time I was done with that, it was 5:59am, almost 6. I needed to be there at 8, but I didn't mind being early. they didn't mind much either.

"Your early?", The receptionist, Hannah Rose, asked, I nodded, placing down a cup of coffee for her, "Vanilla latte, with two spoons of sugar", I said, she took a sip, and smiled, "Thank you, the last assistants working here could never get it right", I smiled, "it's no problem", I said.

I headed into the pro hero- Awesamdude's office,  knocking on the wide open door, "come in", He called, "Hello Sir, just dropping off your coffee", I said, placing his coffee down at his desk, "Roasted caramel latte, with one spoon of sugar?", He asked, I nodded, he took a quick sip, and smiled at me warmly, "thank you, and you don't have to call me 'sir', you can just call me sam", "I'll keep that in mind, have a nice day", I said softly, as I turned around and left. 

"Tommy? Your here early", Wilbur said, I nodded, "I am, here's your coffee, plain black, and no sugar", I said, putting his cup down on his desk, he looked at me for a moment then smiled, "Thank you Toms", I smiled, 'please don't call me that', I thought, before heading to my desk, which wasn't far from Wilbur's, and started going through his paperwork.

As I read through the files, they sounded more and more absurd by each paper I read. And I was now on my last one.

File 64:

Case 6401:

On March 27-

The Vigilante, "The Jester", left behind several corpses, by the outskirts of  Lmanberg, in ' pogtopia alleyway' ,all of which carried no weapons or illegal substances, and have not yet been identified, this is a case looked into by both, the SBI and Bad-Lands Corporation.  Neither can seem to find any leads as to how the Vigilante managed this crime, nor could they find the motives, or how it might have happened.

This case will be under investigation by only the SBI until  April 9th"

It was April 2nd, and the dates made no sense, It happened on March 27, so why were they only allowed to look into the case for only 7 more days? That wasn't enough time.

I shouldn't be helping them, with this case being about myself, but I can't help it.

it feels right to help them. Not the government, but Wilbur. It feels right to help Wilbur.

"still a fanboy at heart, huh?", A quiet voice in my head spoke, "shut up, I'm not 8 anymore", I shot back.

"Everything okay, Toms?", Wilbur asked, looking up at me with a concerned look, 'please stop, please just call me Tommy', I begged, even though he couldn't hear my thoughts "I'm fine, just finished up my paperwork", I said, Wilbur raised an eyebrow, "something wrong?", I asked, "your serious?", "why wouldn't I be?", "you came in here at 6:15am", "so?", I asked gently, "it's only 6:50", "oh", I said, "well, my work is done early then, unless there's more paperwork you need me to go through?", "I- no, you finished all your work for the week..", It was only my first day too, "I- I could help you with your  work, if you'd like", Wilbur seemed to think it over, "Maybe later, you can go on break for a bit-", "maybe later what?", a calm voice interrupted Wilbur, "Oh, Phil, I was just telling Tommy here, he could take a break since he just finished all his work for the rest of the week", "Oh, alright- wait, what?", "Isn't it too early for him to be working right now?", another voice asked, as they came through the door after Philza, it was Technoblade, or "The Blade",  "He's very reliable, he came extra early, to deliver our stations coworkers preferred coffee, and then he got right on his work", Wilbur praised, I felt my face burn with embarrassment, "Both your coffee is is on the table over there", I said, looking over the small glass table around the corner of the room, surrounded my small fluffy couches. "ah, thanks mate", Philza said, while Technoblade took a sip of his coffee, "Lavender latte, two sugars and one spoon of cream?", Technoblade asked, I nodded, "You've mentioned before you didn't have a preference, just something calming and that could get you through the day", Philza took one look at Technoblade and smiled, whatever he was thinking, Wilbur seemed to notice as well.

"I think he has a preference now", Wilbur said, with Philza nodding in agreement, both only getting a playful scoff from Technoblade, but not a protest.
