Not Everyone Can Be A Hero | Bench Trio

Chapter 38

3rd Person's POV

"What I'm saying is that what happened to George was fate. Meddling with fate is something that even I can't stop. There a huge chance today that either Tubbo or Dream died. Schlatt was destined to die how he did. George knew he was going to die but clinged to the idea that maybe my visions were wrong. We are pawns to fate and none of us can change that, so how about we stop blaming people for what happened and accept that it was meant to." Karl said nervously realizing what he all just said. He was the one to blame. He knew what the action for all of his choices were. He tried to stop George from going in and failed. His gift was a curse.

"We can talk about what you all did in the morning. It is extremely late and I think we all need time to think about everything to decide your punishments." Philza concluded from where he was standing. He and all the adults said their goodnights before going upstairs.

"So what now?" Ranboo asked, moving onto the ground and sitting by Tubbo.

"We tell them the truth. They would find out everything sooner or later. Better now than when we let our guard down." Wilbur said, looking at the ceiling with his head resting on the back of the couch.

With that everybody moved to the spots they slept at the night before. The only difference was Tommy sleeping on the mattress on the floor sharing it with Tubbo, Ranboo, and Purpled. Quackity was lying on the couch next to Karl since he was the only person Quackity really knew who didn't try to kill him or use him.

The next morning, the adults all had gathered in the kitchen trying to decide what to do. They snuck out, drove somewhere three hours away, kidnapped Quackity, and crashed the van.

They all had at least three cups of coffee before reaching a final decision.

"I say no powers for two weeks and grounded for a week." Hannah said first knowing that they would miss their powers more than a phone.

"I agree, but I think that is too nice. What about no powers for a month?" Skeppy said leaning across the kitchen island on his sixth cup of coffee already.

"I think that is good." Phil said while cooking scrambled eggs. "Kids!" He yelled from the kitchen.

They all walked in looking very guilty and tired. "We all agreed that you are all grounded for a week, and no powers for a month." The room immediately erupted with groans before Philza shut their powers off and they all fell to the ground.

Techno caught Tommy before he hit the ground moving out of the way so that Wilbur didn't fall on him. Puffy caught Dream and Quackity who both were standing near her. Sapnap was caught by Bad and Skeppy who laughed at everybody falling. Hannah tried to catch all of her kids, but dropped Ranboo.

After fifteen seconds of silence, everybody woke up with a headache or if your Quackity, extremely confused.

"What the fuck was that?" He asked, after wriggling out of Puffy's grasp, looking like he was going to throw up probably from his concussion. He had his head resting on the counter with his arms wrapped around him.

"My bad mate. I forgot you were very new to this. I can turn your powers off and on and it knocks you out when I turn them off as it shuts a segment of your brain off where your powers come from." Phil explained as simply as he could.

"So what happened with the van because that thing looks like it needs to be scrapped?" Puffy asked looking out the window to the front yard seeing the van more clearly now in the daylight.

"Techno decided a deer's life meant more than ours and swerved the car off the road." Foolish bitterly said as he was one of the people who had to help repair the car.

"Uh huh." Bad said, still holding Sapnap who looked annoyed and like he was going to bite his biological father.

Phil glanced at Sapnap before turning around, opening a drawer, rummaging through a drawer and grabbing a powerband.

Sapnap saw him doing this and wiggled out of Bad's grip backing away from Phil. "I don't need that Phil. I can control my powers. I'm almost fifteen." Sapnap said, trying to back up farther but bumping into Dream who held him in place by his shoulders with no readable emotion on his face.

"If controlling yourself is going inferno on somebody on five different occasions, then I'm scared of what you are like with no control."Philza said while grabbing Sapnap's left hand and then quickly locking the band on Sapnap's wrist before he moved again.

"Traitor." Sapnap said looking up at Dream who was trying not to laugh at Sapnap fighting just to not wear a bracelet.

"So what now? Schlatt's dead. We have Tubbo back. What's next?" Punz asked tiredly.

"It's only a matter of time before some other asshole gets elected who is human and tries hunting down hybrids. As bad as Schlatt was no offense, he was hybrid himself and held no grudge against us until we gave him a reason to." Sapnap said bitterly as someone who had to deal with Schlatt in person.

"I say down with the government!" Niki said from where she was standing, making her own cup of coffee. Techno immediately wrapped his arm around her shoulder and cheered while laughing with her.

"Let's round up every hybrid in the country and breach the capital!" Ranboo yelled next to Techno pulling him into the side hug he had with Niki.

"No." Every adult said in the room simultaneously including some of the kids, such as Quackity, Wilbur, Tommy, and Dream.

"The British Mafia were all hybrids and they got wiped off the face of the earth in a day. They were trying to take down Schlatt who was rising in power at the time." Quackity said looking at Tubbo and Karl mainly as they were the only ones who didn't hold him for what he had done.

"Let's make the American Mafia and deal drugs!" Wilbur yelled, seeming for that to be the only thing he picked up on.

"No. Karl has said before in another universe that went terribly wrong for everyone involved." Tommy patted Wilbur on the shoulder who was disappointed now while giving Dream a jokily dirty glare.

"How about we all get our powers under control and we become superheroes? Since some people are against the idea of a mafia and anarchy." Techno said with a straight face trying to mask the fact he was bouncing in his shoes and wanted to be a superhero.

The room erupted behind him with cheers as Techno smiled with a mischievous glare in his eyes. Everybody shouting about their costumes, who their partner was going to be, and their codenames.

"Hold on!" Philza tried yelling over the crowd of children screaming before multiple hands were placed on his shoulders.

Puffy and Hannah had their hands on his right shoulder. Bad and Skeppy had their hands on his left. All giving him a reassuring look.

"If we try to stop them they will all just do it behind our backs. We have neglected the responsibilities given to us and placed them on your shoulders. We will be involved this time. We will help you train and teach them. You have done so much for us Phil. Let us help you." Bad said softly, smiling at Phil while glancing at Sapnap.

The kid who Bad had been forced to put up for foster care, because he and Skeppy were too young and irresponsible to take care of him. The kid who referred to him by his first name mostly.

Puffy was glancing at Dream sympathetically. The boy who she yelled thoughts that never should have been voiced at. The reason she realized the day of George's funeral how awful she had been to her sons in the past month. She knew she was emotionally abusive to Dream and Sapnap. She was going to fix her mistakes. They didn't have to forgive her, but she was going to make sure they knew she still loved them.

Hannah was looking fondly at the kids who she took in. Niki who she found in an alleyway and brought home. Hannah who was only five years older and took her anyways knowing how it felt to be abandoned. She knew she was never home enough as her job as a well known news reporter and having to move around so much. She didn't know for six months when Niki brought home Charlie and Ranboo, but she welcomed them with open arms. She was going to quit her job for them. She would give them the world if they asked.

"They are going to be okay."
