Mask of Menace II Protégé AU

And for a moment, I believed him

TW: Swearing(to be fair this is a Tommy centric fic, this dude even makes sailors turn red), blood, violence, hospital, gaslighting(?)

"Tommy! Come downstairs!" Phil called up the stairs. "Give me a minute!" I called back, stuffing my notebook(filled with notes about all of the villains) into my satchel and throwing it over my shoulder. "What's up dad?" I asked, trying down the last stair. "Please be careful. And it's time for the heroes meeting, your siblings are already there." Phil reprimanded, lowering his crow mask over his face. Oh shit I forgot about that.

"Okay well, I'll meet you there. Let me get into my costume first." I called over my shoulder, racing up the stairs. I hurriedly threw my costume on and ran back down the stairs crashing into Phil. "Phil I told you to go!" I muttered, rubbing my nose. "And I didn't, besides we need to have a talk."

~ In the car~

"So, what didya wanna talk about?" I ask, glancing over at Phil. Phil sighed, "We need to talk about your power, or more accurately your lack of one."

Ugh not this conversation again.

"All of your siblings already have theirs! Wilbur has a siren voice, Techno has super strength and the ability to heal himself, Tubbo has the ability to quite literally talk to technology, and Ranboo can teleport! Tommy, you haven't gotten your power yet and I'm concerned!" Phil raised his voice at the last part, making me flinch.

"It doesn't matter that I haven't gotten my power yet, I'm oneof the best sidekicks you have with or without a power!" I defended, crossing my arms.

"Tommy, you and I both know that if you don't get your power then you won't be ale to work for the HQ anymore." "What?! Since fucking when has that been a rule!" Tommy screeched. "Language! And since the HQ has been made, it's always been a rule. Tommy we want you in the HQ but if you don't get your power we will have to fire you." Phil sighed. "Then what? Am I supposed to join the villains? Become a fucking vigilante?! What Phil?" Tommy demanded and Phil slammed on the brakes.

"Don't you fucking dare even think about joining the villains. They are no good scums who will stop at nothing to hurt us!" Phil shouted, finally turning to me. "That's not what they say." I scoff, rolling my eyes.

"What. Did you say?" Phil demanded his tone deadly and I shrunk back. "I said nothing!" I whimpered, terrified of my dad. "When did you talk to a villain?" Phil demanded. "Yesterday, Dream cornered me and said that heroes are evil." I muttered, feeling ashamed. "Doesn't it feel better to tell the truth? Now, what Dream has said is a lie. We aren't evil, we are instead protecting the world. Understood?" "Y-yes sir." I stuttered.

"Good, now let's hurry to the HQ we're already late." Phil said, starting the car back up again.

~ At the meeting~

"Hello everyone, as you all know I am Icarus, the number one hero, and today we are going to have an important talk. It seems that the Dream Team has become more active." Phil started, standing up from his seat. A murmur spread throughout the heroes and Phil raised a hand to silence everyone. I rolled my eyes, this was stupid.

"Icarus, if I may ask, how has the Dream Team become more active?" Dionysus asked, adjusting their sunglasses and clearing his throat.

"Great question, the Dream Team has been spotted nearly everywhere and Achilles and Mellohi had a run in with 404 and Dream recently. Now Flame hasn't been spotted recently but I'm sure he's planning something." Icarus said, gesturing towards me and Tedhno. I rolled my eyes and slumped farther into my seat. I hated these meetings.
