Where a normal chapter would go, we instead bring you a segment of all my TommyInnits from various superhero AUs meeting one another. Before that, we're going to introduce them. Considering they are all named Tommy, I've decided to refer to them by their super-name; that, at least, is different across all books.
Tempest from Silence of a Somber Day
Reverie from In Shadows We Fight (for justice and ourselves)
Vermillion from The Trick to Falling in Style
Red from Ground ZeroWe also bring a special guest! Presenting Vendetta, a Tommy from a story yet to be released that will be called I Love You (Don't You Know)
Now, I'm basically dropping all five of them into a room. They've already been given an explanation and mostly gotten over the shock of meeting themselves from a different universe. We're going to get straight into the questioning!

Where did your special name come from?
Tempest: Dream gave it to me after I debuted as a sidekick.
Reverie: Oh, Dream also gave me my name after I debuted as a sidekick!
Vermillion: You two are fucking sidekicks? Cringe. I chose my name because it sounded fucking cool... and the people just started calling me that.
Red: I was issued my name by the government when I joined the Prismatic Initiative.
Vendetta: It's to remind me what my purpose is, avenging my family's death.
Vermillion: That got fucking depressing.
Tempest: I wish my family was dead.
Reverie: I don't think I have a family.
Red: I don't have an opinion on mine. I don't remember them.
Vermillion: Lucky bastard. I know both of my parents. My Dad's dead, but mom is still around.
Tempest: Same! Dad kicked the bucket, but Mom keeps shitting on my life.
What do you think of hero society?
Tempest: Heroes are the pillars of humanity. Society needs them.
Reverie: I don't know. I know a few heroes that shouldn't have their licenses.
Vermillion: The heroes are good people... too good... too forgiving, even...
Red: Hero society exists. What do you want from me?
Vendetta: The guild helps fund my activities, so I can't complain.
Tempest: Did you say guild? I have an association.
Reverie: Also an association.
Vermillion: Fuck if I know what we have. I'm a vigilante, so I don't get mixed up in technical shit.
Red: I work for the Superhuman Safety Commission.
Tempest: Superhuman? Does that mean they help more than just heroes?
Red: Yes, they monitor all of the superhuman society. Prime handles superheroes, XD handles supervillains, and Kristin handles civilians.
Reverie: Wait- those are fucking gods in my world?
