There's a person that goes by the name of Theseus. He's a persistent vigilante that is known to be quite a hassle for heroes, always managing to slip away from their sights into the shadows.
Tommy is not that well known, though. Instead, he works at a restaurant and befriends anyone that crosses his path. He is a cheery, unusual person that is oddly secretive. He doesn't ever mention what he does out of work, but he still manages to pull people in. He keeps his home life and work life completely separate from each other, never allowing the two parallel lines to touch.
So people wouldn't know that he runs around at night illegally, picking fights with criminals and dodging heroes chasing after him. They wouldn't know of his backstory, or his two best friends he considers family.
They also wouldn't have a clue about his thirst to take down the villain Schlatt. Or about what the supervillain had done to make Tommy so vengeful. They wouldn't even dream of Tommy hunting for someone, but somehow, truth always manages to slip through the hands of logic.

Tommy had just recently moved homes. The one he left was one full of memories. Not good ones, but not necessarily bad ones, either. He didn't have much to live for at his old home, so he moved in hope of starting over and meeting new people. He had no more family, and his school friends had long moved on from him. In fact, the only number in his contacts was his mum's who was long passed away. Tommy was young (sixteen, to be exact) and he often forgot things. Usually just as simple as forgetting to do the laundry, or forgetting to reply to a notification on his phone that he received three seconds prior. Simple things that didn't matter. This time, though, he forgot to charge his phone before leaving his new, barely furnished apartment. He didn't think much of it. If it died, it died. No biggie, right? He figured he'd be alright for an hour or so without his phone. That is, until he got lost in the large, unfamiliar town that he definitely didn't even slightly know the layout of. He didn't know where he was or how to get back to his apartment, especially without a GPS. And then, when it definitely couldn't get worse, it began to rain. Tommy was soaked. He was cold, hungry. He cut into an alley and sat down against a brick wall, curled up on himself. He sat there for a while, and then heard footsteps. It was three men. The older one crouched down in front of him. "You look awful...Come with us, mate." But Tommy didn't want to. These people felt...off. ~~~ TW// Cussing Kidnapping Injuries Manipulation Stockholm syndrome Drugging someone etc... ~~~ Started: May 10, 2023 Finished: August 5, 2023 (This took way too long 😭)Complete
Behavioural Tutor
Tommy was known as the school's 'Bad Boy', the 'Troubled Kid', the 'Problem Child' and in extreme cases, the 'Psycho', all because he was different. No one understands him, until one day when he gets a Behavioural Tutor and a Therapist. He's had them before, but these people seem different. They're willing to listen to him, to learn about him, but in doing so, realise something is off about Tommy. Is he just a cool kid with an attitude, like Techno? Or is there a secret Tommy's tried so hard to hide. One that would explain his behaviour and frequent injuries. One that would make Tommy a victim and not a culprit. So... this got derailed so uhm... it's now a gang book! I have no idea why people like this monstrosity but wooooooo angst! Im not really going to go into too much details with TWs, (I don't want to spoil the plot) so read at your own risk. I'm really sorry!

Tʜᴇsᴇᴜs ~ Vɪɢɪʟᴀɴᴛᴇ!Tᴏᴍᴍʏ AU
Tommy, better known as Theseus in the community, is a vigilante who's only goal is to help get rid of crime in his city. Tommy is known in the media for having flexibility and fast movements, similar to a raccoons. His makeshift suit has raccoon ears on the hood, a black mask that goes over his eyes to resemble a raccoon, and a fluffy tail. Sure, a tail is kind of stupid considering someone could grab in to keep him from running, but it adds to his brand. And he's fast, so it doesn't matter. His weapons? A knife, and discs. No, not actual discs. These discs are sort of like Chinese throwing stars, or whatever they're called. They deal damage, and that's what matters. The heroes; Blade, Angel of Death, and Ghost; are always seeking to catch Tommy and arrest him. Tommy is just trying to help the city. He doesn't know why the heroes want him arrested. When Tommy's landlord of the apartment complex he lives in finds out that Tommy isn't actually 18, and is really 15, he calls CPS and gets Tommy taken to a foster home. Tommy can't fight crime from a foster home without the new family finding out, or can he? But what happens when Tommy finds out that his new family is actually the heroes that seek to arrest him day after day? And what if they find out that he is actually Theseus? ~~~ TW// Cussing Trauma Scars (from restraints) Crime (obviously) Injuries CPS etc... ~~~ I would credit the cover photo but I have no idea who made it. ~~~ Started: December 30, 2022 Finished: December 31, 2022 (WOO WEE!

Zᴏᴍʙɪᴇ | Uɴᴅᴇᴀᴅ!Tᴏᴍᴍʏɪɴɴɪᴛ AU
A young blonde boy wakes up in the middle of the forest. He can't remember how he got there or much about himself either. His name is blank from his mind, and he can't even remember his family. His clothes are torn and dirty, and he wonders what happened. He's not hungry, but he wants a small snack, yet every apple tree and every berry bush he passes doesn't strike his fancy. He eventually makes it to a city. Large buildings are fallen over and the ones still standing have busted out windows and/or have smoke and fire coming from them. He can hear distant screams and yells and gunshots. There are people passing him that are strange. They're badly injured and walk slightly hunched over. Some are missing limbs, and some are missing and eye, or both. They don't even appear to be alive to the boy. They look his way but don't mind him. Tommy is confused and scared. He can slightly remember this place to be his once home, and it makes him upset that's it's gone to such shit, and scared by everyone's screams and the fires and the fighting, and mostly, the fact that some people are eating each other. And why are people running from the boy when they see him? ~~~ TW// Cussing Blood Gore Fighting/violence Cannibalism Guns Weapons Injuries etc... ~~~ Started: January 14, 2023 Finished: January 15, 2023Complete

Why Is It Never Simple
He stopped to look over himself in the mirror. His hair was still dripping and he had a couple bruises littering his face. Tommy also took note of the small scrape at the bottom left side of his jaw. He definitely looked like he'd gotten into another fight. His family was definitely going to be worried about that, he might even get a scolding from his dad about fighting. He was not looking forward to that tonight. He sighed as he approached the door. Slowly turning the knob and pushing it open. Whatever he was expecting to find at eight something at night, it wasn't this. In front of him sat his brother in a wooden dining chair, with a few drops of blood on his yellow sweater, holding a handful of tissues to his nose. His father stood in front of him, ice pack in hand, black wings bristled from worry. They only seemed to stand up more as the older man looked over Tommy. "What the hell happened to you?" -Or- The SBI are a fully functional family, all secretly working in different Superpower Factions.
Lunar Moon │ A Hero SBI Story
This is all Tubbo's fault. He got her into this situation. In what world is it a good idea to get a vigilante, a very much so undercover and illegal vigilante, to intern for the very heroes who are supposed to be arresting people like her? Not to mention the ongoing search for their crime boss 'father,' JSchlatt, the fact that they are practically family to Quackity, who's on the hero watchlist, or the fact that they have far too many secrets that could be uncovered with a little too much digging. What could possibly go wrong? A Hero SBI and Intern/Vigilante oc story.
we can all learn things(just maybe in different ways.)
He swallowed as he realized the depth of the situation he was in. He knew what kind of knight was hunting him down right now: a bounty hunter. A ferocious warrior, swift and nearly silent, specially trained to capture wanted criminals and take them to their kings, for rewards of gold, jewels, riches, and power. There was no way he could escape or outrun him. He would always be one step ahead. He wanted... no, he needed to know if his family was safe. Even though it was unlikely that they were in danger, it was not impossible. And if there was one thing Techno didn't cope well with, it was losing the ones he loved. (Or, Technoblade's hopes of a peaceful retirement arc are shattered when he's hunted down by a ruthless warrior in a smiling mask. And oh God, why won't his brother just LISTEN to him for once?)
