Free-Fall: Vigilante Tommyinnit AU

《CHAPTER FORTY-ONE》

Techno POV-

To be honest, I completely forgot what I was doing, but now we were focusing on repairing glass walling and doors in the lobby of the building. Apparently Wilbur broke it or something. I'm not all that surprised. Still, the caution tape surrounding the area whilst the broken glass was being cleaned up, made my head ache more. It all felt like so much. I worried for Tommy especially. 

I worried for my youngest brother.

The thought of saying that aloud left a bittersweet taste in my mouth. It wasn't that I didn't see him as what he was to me, it was more like I feared the sickening but true reality: he could never forgive me. Us. 

And I want to be able to accept it if he doesn't.

It would just be hypocritical to expect him to come back to the family, as if he hadn't been neglected and forced to live a life akin to poverty in such a dangerous place.  As if he wasn't kidnapped and made into an experiment. Which was our fault too. If we had been there for him he would be okay, and happier. 

I thought back to when I saw him take of his mask, revealing his identity to us with little to no hesitation. The look in his dull grey eyes sparked with determination and something promising.

Has his eyes always been so grey?

I didn't need to answer that.

"Dude, what happened down here?", A high pitched voice called out, slight humor in her voice that was overtaken by the concern. I looked beside me to see Crumb standing with her hands on her hips, "Did you do that?", She asked with disbelief, I chuckled, but thought back to how Phil would feel if he found out Wilbur had started punching walls again, let alone glass, "Yeah", I ran a hand through my hair, the short braid long undone. I dont really remember when it came undone, "Who else knows? Ya think XD will be mad about property damage?", I shrugged at that, "Hannah knows", I said, shooting a quick message to Hannah, letting her know I would be taking the blame, she got back to me quickly, agreeing she'd go with it, "He probably will, or not. Who knows with how quickly he switches up", I let my arms drop to my sides, sighing tiredly, "Anyways", I began, "You should be going home now, your still young and need your sleep", she laughed, "I guess, I just wanted to see what all the noise was, could here it from my end of the tower, and I ended up exiting from the back to get around here", I nodded in understanding, "Yeah, sorry about that. You wont have to take the back any longer though, everything should be fixed up by morning, you know how these people work", "I guess your right"

Drista POV-

"This is all fucked", I slumped in my seat, taking a large gulp at my hot tea, Bad yelling a muffled "Language!", Sapnap chuckled lightly, sitting across from me, "Yeah, yeah it is. Your brother manipulated is all and himself", I sat up, "Are you finally going to tell me everything?", "Everything?", he sighed, glancing over at Skeppy, who was drying a wet mug with a grey rag. Skeppy shrugged and moved to twist the sign on the door from "Open" to "Closed", "You guys go for it, me and bad are the ones who faked our deaths to get away from this whole mess", he walked into the back of the room, probably wear Bad was, searching for the extra all purpose flour. "Everyone seems to be faking their deaths", I muttered, recalling other vigilante turned villains who have also done the same, "It seems to be the only way out", Sapnap said, stretching his arms, "What do you want to know?", "Everything!", I repeated, "from the beginning",  I pleaded. Sapnap groaned and finally seemed to be thinking it through, "Fine", he said, "About what Dream has done?", I nodded, "Yes", he hesitated, "Its...", he took a long breath, "It's not a fun story"

Ranboo POV-

I was on my way to kill XD, or Dream. Whatever. There the same person anyways.

"There twins", "XD is Dream's older brother", a hell of a lot of lies just floating around. 

I certainly wasn't going to wait around much longer. Yeah, Tommy's other friends probably had their own plans to murder Dream, but now that I know for sure Tommy's biological family are aware of most of Tommy's situation, I wasn't going to wait on them to act. This needed to be done quickly and quietly.

Jack wasn't the only  king of justice. Me and him only shared the same name to throw people off, like an inside joke. 

"So they aren't even related, their the same person?", Tubbo asked, I nodded, "yeah, dont ask how I know, because, well..", I trailed off but Tubbo waved his hand dismissively, "Doesn't matter to me, bossman. Information is information", he paused, "so what are we doing again?", "Committing murder", "Fun", Tubbo stated, but stopped in place, "No, actually, are we really? I dont care if we are. It's just that I need to understand whats happening a little more", I sighed, "Okay, I know where Dream is", "And your going to kill him?", "If he isn't already dead by now, i'll finish the job", "Wow, boo. Villain arc I guess", he continued walking with me.

"So your the king of justice, as in the vigilante?", "Yes", I agreed, "And Tommy's friend, Jack, is as well?", "You remember Jack, dont you?", "Yeah,yeah, answer the question", "Yeah, we both share the same name. It was meant to be an ongoing joke, also has to do with mine and his separate plans", I said fast, but Tubbo managed to pick it up just fine, "I see, and both these plans regard killing Dream?", "Yep!", "Okay, nice then"

Bitzel POV-

"How's Dream holding up?", I peaked into the room, not daring to look at the hospital bed, "I think he's actually going to make it, surprisingly", Deo muttered, and almost immediately, George was up on his feet, "He will?!", Deo muttered curses under his breath and stepped away, "Yes, yes, unfortunately"
