"Wait, who?" Tommy asked, Tubbo sighed, he didnt want to explain it again, but he does like to hear himself talk.

"Nemesis is the hero you saw on TV. She's climbing up the charts fast. She's already stopped three villain attacks. Today was her first day." He repeated again, this time, Tommy finally understood.

"There were three villain attacks today? And she stopped all of them? How was she even at each crime scene?" Tommy asked, disbelief flooding his features.

Tubbo shrugged, "I dont have all the information, I have scouts watching her as we speak. Glad you also find it suspicious though." Tubbo crossed his arms, he looked to Ranboo for input on the situation.

"She might be paying lower grade villains to attack different places so she can stop them. She probably just wants good popularity. The other thing may be that she's just good at being a hero." Ranboo shrugged, then he looked back down to reading the news article he was 'given'.

He stole it from someone else.

"Believe it or not," Tommy started, "I think there is something bigger to it." Tubbo looked up to him suspiciously, "Go on.." he urged, "What if she did something in the past. Maybe when she was a normal civilian, and she's trying to cover it up?" Tommy questioned, Tubbo's eyes seemed to light up at the accusation.

"You mean like another Ghost situation?" Ranboo looked back up, the conversation now sparking interest for him.

"I mean," Tubbo started, "Ghost did start out as a villain. Who knows if Nemisis was also saved." He shrugged, then he heard a tapping on the window.

"One of your scouts?" Tommy asked, he looked to the pigeon that sat on the window seal.

"Yep," Tubbo opened the window and the bird waddled in. It chirped and then flew out again.

"One of our theories is correct." Tubbo said looking slumped, Ranboo stood from the couch anticipating for the worst.

"And?" Tommy asked, he wanted to get some closure on these wild theories that were processing through his head.

"Im not spilling the beans. Not until you tell me why you won't tell us the truth." Tubbo crossed his arms again. He was back on the subject they talked about yesterday.

"Tubbo you're being ridiculous." Tommy rolled his eyes and went to walk to his room to escape the conversation.

"Tommy, I already know, so why don't you just tell us. Its not like its a secret anymore." Tubbo said, Ranboo looked to him questioningly, "Ranboo doesn't know actually, he wouldn't let me tell him." Tubbo quickly answered under his friends gaze.

"Thats because Ranboo knows how to mind his fucking business." Tommy rebuttled, slightly looking over his shoulder towards them. He had a slight hint of red in his normal bright blue eyes.

This startled Tubbo, but it didn't make him back down.

"Tommy why won't you just tell us? We won't judge you or ridicule you. You didn't ridicule us when you saw how our powers affected us. Why dont you trust us in the way we trust you?" Tubbo stepped a little closer to Tommy, he treated him like he was some scared, wild animal that needed calming.
