Tommy POV-
The feeling never left.
"Have a good night Philza", I whispered loud enough for him to hear me, and left him there, sat in his chair, face buried in his hands.
I started off walking through the halls, then my pace gradually became faster as panic finally began to set in throughout my body, and I was now running out, I didn't even bother using the elevators and instead went about using the stairs, finally stopping when my name had been called out, "Tommy? What's going on? Why are you running?", I found myself being balanced by Captain Puffy, one of the major Heroes, "I- It's nothing, i'm just a little late for something", I lied, Puffy looked at me for a while, as if trying to decide whether I was lying or not, before she looked as though she had let it go, and fixed my posture, "Alright, but don't slouch Tommy, It'll mess up your back, your 19, right? Your still growing, you don't want to damage the growth of your spine", I had almost forgot that everyone thought I was 19. It was hard to believe that i'd be turning 17 in just 2 days.
Laughter echoed behind puffy and I, "Oh yeah, 19 year old Thomathy", I grinned, "Shut up Jack", I said playfully, Jack snickered, and Puffy huffed disapprovingly, "I sure hope your not making fun of me for caring about Tommy over here", She said, placing her hands on her hips, Jack shook his head, still grinning widely, "It's not like that, just an inside joke between me and Tommy", Jack paused, "Isn't your birthday April 9th?", Jack asked, my smile strained and I nodded, Puffy gasped and looked at me, "Oh my god, why didn't you tell me?", I shrugged, "Didn't want to make it a big deal", "Well, of course it's a bid deal and- oh, wait, are you not a birthday person? I don't want to make you uncomfortable if your not a big fan of birthdays", my eyes widened slightly at that, "no, no, your not making me uncomfortable, but yeah, i'm not much of a birthday person", I said, Puffy nodded in understanding, and I ignored how Jack looked at me sympathetically.
"Well, it was really nice talking, but I am running a bit late for a meet-up with one of my friends", I said quickly, turning to walk away, "Make sure you both email or call me if you need anything, I always finish the work Wilbur gives me, and it get's boring doing nothing after that!", I groaned, smiling to myself when I heard Puffy laugh and agree, Jack however, ran to catch up with me, "I'm leaving now too, so we might as well walk together", He called, loud enough for Puffy to hear.
"19", Jack snickered next to me again, I elbowed him lightly, "oh shut up, you try getting a well-payed job when your 16, and have no degree at all", "No degree? What about that PhD in psychology and computer science?", Jack teased, I groaned, "Tubbo made my file's and shit for me, alright, Manifold?", Jack merely laughed at my attempt at being angry and I wilted, leaning into his shoulder, whilst he wrapped his arm around me, "Must have been hard, hm?", "yeah", I sighed, "It really was".
It took forever to get out of Dreams custody, and now that I was finally free from him, I was still trapped in this world.
'don't think like that Tommy', 'Green Bitch has got to go-', 'Do a flip' , I shook my head,
"How is it? Being a legal Hero?", I asked, Jack hummed thoughtfully, "Shit", he concluded, I started laughing, "Is it that bad??", Jack groaned dramatically, bringing his hands to his face, "They- Their all stupid! They have literally no common sense, and not in the way you would tell a child they have no common sense for not knowing how to do something, but like- in a way where they don't understand that they are basically declaring that helping people without a degree from one of the hero academies is illegal", Jack paused for a moment, "Do you understand what i'm saying? I know I fumble over my words and shit when I rant but-", "No, I understand, it annoys you that they basically make it so you can't help someone without having hero training or whatever", "yes! Your a vigilante, a very good one too, you help people, even people who are not from your district, and- and they try to arrest you, how does that make sense?? What's next? You need a goddamn permit to breath air?? You need a licence to lend someone a pencil in class or something??", I chuckled dryly, "Careful now, let's not give them any ideas", Jack laughed at that, and we stopped at my apartment complex, "Please be careful tonight if you go out for patrol", I nodded, "I will, Thanks Ms. Manifold", I joked, he ruffled my hair and told me again to stay safe.
"Hey Tubs, Hey Boo", I greeted, "Hey Tommy, how was work?", Ranboo asked, I shrugged, "Normal, It's usually the same thing everyday, just sorting out papers and reading emails, but Wilbur has mentioned before that he might start taking me along with him to his meetings and shit", Tubbo twirled in his office chair, his computer opened on cameras around the districts, "Oh? Where does he usually do meetings?", Tubbo asked, "never too far from the city, I can tell you that much, he rarely has to travel far when it comes to going to meetings, usually it's still in the building, just in a room where all the major heroes meet, I assume", I explained, Tubbo nodded, "alright, good, because we can't exactly have you traveling too far any time soon", Tubbo said slowly, and Ranboo frowned, now looking at my seriously, "right, almost forgot..", Ranboo muttered, I raised an eyebrow at both of them, "What did you almost forget exactly?", Tubbo slumped in his chair, "Your not going to like this..", Tubbo stared back at his computer, then took the small brown wooden box beside it, off and held it out for me, I took it gingerly, and let my hand ghost over the lid as Tubbo spoke, feeling my body go stiff and my blood run cold.
"Guess Dream's an official major hero now"
