BigInnit (a tommy vigilante au)

Chapter 6: Theseus

Tommy's POV

My feet were dangling off the rooftop. Tonight, is so peaceful. Me as the Big Man I am stopped some crime and now I just get to relax and look at the stars. I feel like I have just been so stressed out lately because of this job interview with heroes. I am not getting chased by Siren or other heroes for once, so I just feel at ease. I enjoy nights like these because they are peaceful, and I don't feel like I am constant danger. My nose does hurt a little bit, but Ranboo and Tubbo said the bruise doesn't really show under my mask. I take a deep breath and close my eyes. I feel the breeze of the cold air in my face. I also feel my golden locks that are not tucked in my hood blow with the wind.  This is-

"BigInnit we need to talk." Monotone voice... The Blade. Fuck. 

All of a sudden, my fight or flight mode kicks in because I am already hopping on buildings. It isn't even a patrol day! Why is he here! Did CrowFather send him? Probably since he foolishly confirmed that they are a family at the Hero's Tower. Tubbo is going to kill me for this... Well if The Blade doesn't kill me first.

"I think I lost him." I mumble to myself under my breath after running for 5 minutes straight.

How I was so wrong.

The Blade grabbed me and pulled me to an alleyway. Shit! I thought I lost him! He slams me to the wall making a dent. I groaned out of pain. Then he lets me go?

"I said I just wanted to talk." The Blade stated. "Don't worry. I will not turn you in. You're doing our job for us so why would I? That would mean more work for us."

"O-ok? What do you want to talk about?" Shit. I stuttered.

"I just wanted to ask some questions about you. Don't try to run. I will catch you." He said in his threatening monotone voice.

"Bring it at me Big Man." I say clearly nervous.

"How old are you?"

Should I tell the truth? Probably not. "Uhhhh 19?"

"Why did you lie?"

"How the fuck did you know I lied!" I was somewhat shocked he said that.

"You were hesitating."

"O-oh."

"It's fine we can continue to my next question. Why did you become a vigilante?"

Easy question. "Well, I wanted to help people. And with not many heroes patrolling District 9, is the most popular place to commit crimes. And it's somewhat fun when you are not being constantly chased by heroes." Maybe I shouldn't have added that last part.

"Understandable. We don't really patrol here. Heck. The only reason I came tonight was because CrowFather was worried about someone. I also understand that it probably isn't that fun when you get chased by people like Siren. Speaking of Siren that leads to my third question. Do you have powers?"

Fuck. He knows. Siren must have told him about that night. He already knows so there is no need to lie about it.

"Yes."

"May I ask what they exactly are?"

"Oh, I can copy other people's powers." I blurt out. Fuck. Maybe I shouldn't have given that willingly.

"Wow. That is a really good power. Why do you never use it?"

"You know Big Man trauma and that stuff. And public would most likely want to listen to a vigilante that is relatable with no powers instead of an all-mighty one."

"I see. Well, those were all my questions. See you later Theseus."

"Who is Theseus?" I ask confused. Did The Blade give me a nickname?

"Theseus was a legendary hero from Greek mythology who was considered an early king of Athens. Famous for slaying a Minotaur if the Cretan king Minos. He was caught and confined by Hades when he descended to the Underworld and then Heracles released him. But when he came back to Athens there was an uprising and then an outbreak. Then he got killed getting casted into the sea from the top of a cliff." The Blade blabbered on about. He seemed quite passionate about this topic.

"Woah, I didn't need the whole story there, but it was interesting none of the least. How does this relate to me though?" 

"You're at the peak of everything. You're almost considered perfect or the best by the public. Something will happen and it will most likely be your downfall."

"Wow thanks for letting me feel better."

"You're welcome. Keep up the good work here. See you later Theseus." And just like that he left.

"Maybe I shouldn't tell Tubbo about this." I muttered.
