Tw: Fight scene, And something that I won't include because spoilers, swearing

"Tommy! Tommy! Guess what man?"

"What Tubs? Did you steal a duck again? Please say you didn't."

"No that's next weeks plan." Tommy sighed at his friends statement, "But I finally managed to fix your tracker and earpiece!" 

Tommy's face paled a little not that his friend noticed and plastered on a fake smile.

"That's amazing big man!" Tommy said with faux cheerfulness.

His friend smiled at him before embracing him in a hug. Tommy patted Tubbo's head and said he was to get some rest before patrol.

As soon as he got to his room he flopped on to his thin mattress and screamed into his pillow with frustration. Meeting with Muse was difficult already but how was he ever going to do it now? How was he even going to get away with fighting heroes of his friend was breathing down his neck.

After several minutes of just lying there and contemplating his choices, he heard a soft knock on his door as Ranboo peaked his head in. 

"Hey Tommy its time for patrol."

Tommy only groaned in exhaustion before getting up and waddling over to his friend content to just go limp in his awkwardly long arms.

Ranboo mumbled grumpily before half- carrying him to the main room. Tommy slowly stood up and grabbed his gear before entering the bathroom too change.

He exited and saw Tubbo standing in front of him excitedly holding the ear pierce and tracker. Tommy racked his brain for some excuse no too wear them tonight as he had another meeting with Muse.

"Big man! I don't think I'll need those tonight! I mean come on its just a short patrol?"
                                                                                                                                                                                                         "But Tommy! I spent so long on these just put them on already."

"But don't you at least want to do some patrol safe tests too? Like make sure it doesn't break when it falls to the floor?"
                                                                                                                                                                                                         Tubbo seemed to think about it for a second before slowly nodding his head.

"You're right actually, I should do some more tests before you go out with it."

Tommy beamed at him, he didn't notice Purpled's face seemed to have a suspicious look on it before he left the house jumping on to a roof top.

He sprinted towards the border of district eight staring out on to the neighbouring districts and the wasteland that was district nine, waiting for who he claimed was a person he hated. See Tommy did try hating Muse, but the more they met up and the more they conversed, he started liking him more and more. He reminded him of Wilbur in some ways, strangely enough.

"Prometheus!" He heard a familiar voice call from across the roof.

"Well if it isn't Muse!"

The Villain smiled at him but not like the cruel grin he offered to his enemies but instead a warm, kind one.

"Prometheus, I have had such a horrible day you will not believe what Ichor said to me!" Muse said with a whine in his voice as he dramatically flopped on to the floor next to him.

Tommy just sighed before giving him a pointed look.

"Whilst I would totally love to hear about whatever you do nowadays, I would appreciate if you told me your opinions on the plan I sent you."

"Oh yeahh." Muse said eyes widening before he squinted "It was shit."
                                                                                                                                                                                                        Tommy gaped at him, blinking rapidly before his face screwed in anger as he smacked one of the most powerful Villains in country around the head. 

"OW! Hey!"

"Wouldn't have hurt you too say it nicely."

"I was being honest! I'll admit you research about them was great you have their weaknesses and strengths pinned, but your actual plan doesn't make sense."

Tommy hummed in thought before once again, slapping him around the head.

"OW! How many times are you going to do that!?"

"No that one was for fun. I think your right though I haven't really thought this through." He chuckled awkwardly as the Villain cursed under his breath rubbing his head.

"Yeah but I do have some ideas like-"

But Muse wouldn't get to finish his recommendations because from the distance they heard the sound of what was unquestionable an explosion.

And it came right from the centre.

Of Tommy's fucking district.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Smoke filled the streets and screaming could be heard from every direction. Tommy could also see vaguely in the distance a fight happening in the middle of it all but he wasn't worried about that right now. He listened until another scream rang out and ran in the direction of it.

"Prometheus what the fuck are you doing!?"

"Saving people, why are you following me?"

"I'm saving you!"

"Do your evil Syndicate things! You'll scare civilians!"

"Can not be bothered right now I'm coming with you!"

Tommy shrugged before spotting a familiar face huddled under some rubble. He ran towards who he recognized as the girl he saved in the bank robbery.

"Oh hello again." He said panting "Here let me just-" He pulled on the rubble covering her and with a grunt pushed it to the side.

"Oh my god thankyou, thankyou." She said grabbing his arm as he helped pulled her up.

"Lets get you to a medical shelter, what's your name?"

"Olive, I'm Olive Sleepy,"

"Nice to meet you for the second time Olive."

The girl laughed wetly still grasping his arms as he slowly led her to a medical shelter, Muse trailing behind them with his head down trying not to get noticed. He bid Olive goodbye and moved on to helping more civilians, Muse occasionally helping or keeping him out of trouble.

He had been in been in the middle of rescuing a man and his dog, he hadn't noticed he had stumbled to close to the fight, nor did Muse. He was just giving the dog to the man when he saw it.

The objects around him started to levitate of the ground seemingly surrounded by some warm purple glow. 

Tommy knew that power.

After all, He always recognised his friends abilities.
