Ranboo pov~

When Wilbur handed me the healing potion, I nodded and turned around before pulling my mask down and necking the red liquid, not really caring if it would poison me. When I pulled my mask back up and turned around, I could see Foolish barely containing his laughter and Wilbur just staring at me in shock, "that's one way to do it." He stated, making Foolish burst into cackles. I cocked my head, unsure as to what I had done wrong,

"Almost no one can bare the taste of my potions, but oh my god Wilbur you should have seen your face!" The enchanter managed to get out in between fits of laughter. I gave a sideways nod before turning to Glitch,

George can I borrow some equipment? And a chair please.

The hero nodded and motioned for me to take a seat on the spiny chair next to him, "what'd you need it for?"

Because SOMEONE

I glared at Techno who was sprawled out on one of the nearby sofas

Managed to fry my communicator and I need to tell my team mates that I'm not dead

George gave a small laugh and nodded as I moved to sit down, my every move being closely monitored by all the heroes. No pressure then.

I quickly reached to my left ear under my hood and unclipped the small communicator, putting it on the table as I stood up to searched for the correct tool that was currently on the opposite side of the table. Georges eyes immediately lit up as soon as he saw the communicator,

"Wow! Did you create this?" He asked, the excitement in his voice making a couple of the heroes chuckle, namely the other members of the Dream Team- Sapnap, Bad and Dream. I shook my head, making George think for a second before clicking his fingers,

"Nuclear right? You goat team mate. I highly doubt that Theseus would have the patience for something like technology." I snorted and nodded,

Your right about Theseus, its Nuclear who's our tech genie, I've merely picked up a few skills from watching him

I finally grabbed the right tools and sat back down, quickly unscrewing the communicator and repairing the slightly fried and bent wires before putting it back together,

"You definitely have got some tech skills portal," George commented as I put the communicator back over my left ear and span around so that I was facing the heroes and I turned it on.

Immediately I was greeted with a screech, "RANBOO!!! YOUR ALIVE!" Theseus shouted, making me flinch and rapidly blink for a second before I replied, making sure I had my built in voice changer in my mask turned on,

"Volume T. And yes I am very much alive." All the heroes went silent and listened to me, which sent my nerves through the roof.

I heard a thud as Theseus was presumably shoved out of the way and I heard Nuclears voice in my ear. "Where are you? Are you ok? Why'd you go quiet?"

"I'm ok, sorry about going radio silent, communicator got fried"

"Yeah I can tell, your voice is all crackly, not just from the voice changer and your lack of use of your vocal cords,"

"It is? I'll have to fix that." I said, hoping to rap this up quickly, being very cautious and aware of everything I was saying. Nuclear seemed to notice this,

"Ok, any code?" When we had first started missions we made up code for whenever we were in special situations such as the one I was in.

"A smile, but not for too long." A smile meant that I was with heroes, but not arrested or hurt.

"See you soon then." Nuclear said,

"Bye, speak soon." I replied,

"BYE RANBOO!" Theseus screamed again making me quickly turn off my communicator.

The heroes were still looking at me as I signed a quick thanks to George,

"Wait you can talk? I thought you were mute?" A hero by the name of Diamond commented, I didn't know his actual name as he hadn't given me an introduction.

Of cause I can I just chose not to unless I have to, my vocal cords aren't broken idiot

I angrily signed back at him, teleporting right infrount of the blue skinned hero, making him fall back onto the sofa in shock, "sorry sorry sorry! I just thought you were like Callahan!" 

Based on the fact that there is only one underground hero who cant speak I'm gonna guess your talking about Stag?

Diamond profusely nodded, which satisfied me enough to teleport next to Wilbur, as he was pretty much the only one I smidgenly trusted currently,

"Your dismissed Portal, we expect you to return here at 4pm sharp tomorrow" Dream ordered from his spot on the sofa

I have a day job you know?

"Try working part time from now on maybe? If that's not possible I can push it back to 6pm." I thought for a second before nodding, Nuclear could take my final two hours as all three of us Bench Trio worked in the same place.

I turned around to leave, "Oh wait before you go!" Wilburs voice spoke, making me stop in my tracks and turn around, "here, you'll need this to get back in." He handed me a black key card with the Syndicate logo on it, presumably I'd have to show this in order to get in the building, "Phil'l get your new records up and running tomorrow." I nodded before holding up the key card with two fingers,

"If this has a tracker in it I will chuck it into the sea." I warned,

"It doesn't don't worry," George called from his work bench, having resumed his task of making whatever it was he was doing, "feel free to get your team mate to look at it." I rolled my eyes and pocketed the key card before looked back at Wilbur to see if he wanted to say anything else before I left. Sure enough he did,

"One last thing, do you know of any decent coffee shops nearby?" I raised my eyebrows, not that he could really see that though,

Urm... theres one called Puffys Cakes not too far away? Use to go there all the time.

Wilbur nodded, "Do you still go there?" Realizing what I said I shook my head

I moved but id be curious to see if its still open, say hi to them for me

"Wait do they know who you are?!" Phil shot his head over to me and Wilbur as I quickly tried to backtrack without making it obvious, and I think I succeeded,

No, they don't know my vigilante self. I was being sarcastic. 

Wilbur let out a sigh or either disappointment or relief, honestly not sure which, "oh right ok. Well I'll be sure to check it out, see ya Portal!"

With that I gave Dreams signature two figured salute and walked out of the building, saving my long distance teleportation for when I was out of sight.


The second I landed in our four roomed apartment, I was immediately engulfed in hugs,

"What the actual fuck have I gotten myself into!" I practically shouted, startling both Theseus and Nuclear, or tommy and Tubbo as their real names were.
