Tommy Innit's Secret Clinic Chapter 10: On Patrol

Summary: On one of their patrols, Nuke and Ender ran into one of L'Manburg's infamous Vigilantes.

Chapter inspired by Tommy's Ultra-Important Keychain by SeriouslyCalmmitous

TW: Not much in the Trigger Warning area for this chapter. Mention of Anxiety, and some Violence (not major but there is some in this), and Mild Threat.

A/N: HAPPY NEW YEAR! I'm slowly but surely writing some chapters so I can update weekly again. Not gonna lie, it's getting difficult where I want to go from here. I have ideas but I have no idea on where to put them.

So, if the story seems "Outta Place" in certain areas. I will try to piece them back together. Enjoy!

(East Side)

To say that Tubbo and Ranboo were nervous would be an understatement.  Tubbo felt like there were some kind of beehive in his stomach, the way it kept churning.  Ranboo’s anxiety kept flaring up, hands shaking, several what ifs kept going through his head.  Tubbo’s own anxiety wasn’t much better.

It’s been over a month since both Tubbo and Ranboo had seen Orcus and Siren come out of their apartment.  And when Nuke and Ender had asked Arachnid for help.  Tubbo secretly hoped that it was literally a misunderstanding on the Syndicate’s part.  That they just got the address confused, of their actual healer and wound up stumbling upon Tommy and Siren just used his powers to make Tommy forget the whole thing.  But until they hear back from Arachnid, that’s all Tubbo could do, was hope!

Which was why both him and Ranboo were standing on top of one of the apartment buildings on East Side.  Both of them needed a huge distraction to try and take their minds off of things until they hear back from Arachnid.  Tubbo had his radio out so they could hear what’s going on from the Cops Radios.

“Armed Robbery at 419 Main Street East Side, Monarch’s Clothing.  Suspects are armed and need to proceed with caution.”  Came over the radio.

Tubbo turned to Ranboo, it was time for Nuke and Ender.

(Monarch’s Clothing)

Earlier that day, Eret was smiling a mile wide as he read the News Report.  Two new Vigilantes were in town, Nuke and Ender and so far they made quite a debut!  Literally helping out one of L’Manburg’s top twenty Heroes, Arachnid.  Well they couldn’t have helped out a better Hero than them!  Arachnid was pretty neutral when it came to Vigilantes.  Now, if a Vigilante vandalized a certain property like say, Mixer, under a protest.  Then Arachnid would arrest the Vigilante or at least attempt to (after they were done laughing his butt off).  But if a Vigilante was actually protecting part of the City, then Arachnid would either let them be or actually offer to help.

Eret had to admit, they were actually kinda impressed with the new Vigilantes debut.  Not a lot of Vigilantes would take the risk of helping a Hero and being so exposed to the press.  Nuke and Ender on the other had no problem in doing just that.  With a little more practice and a few more years of experience Eret’s pretty sure that Nuke and Ender could be a good team for East Side.

“Excuse me, sir,” a man in a black pristine suit said, drawing Eret’s attention away from the computer.  “Do you know where I might be able to find the owner of this store?  I like to talk to her.”

Eret gave a condescending smile to the man.  It’s not uncommon for people to assume that the owner of a Fashion Store is a woman.  “I’m the owner of this store, and my name is Eret.  I also go by they/them.”  Eret offered their hand to shake the other guy’s hand.

“Oh of course, of course.  My apologies.  My name is Gene Torey and I have a proposition for you and your store!”  Gene says taking out his business card and handing it over to Eret.

Eret looked at the business card with a grim expression.  Ah, yes, he knew exactly who Gene Torey was.  He was the owner of Torey’s Fashion Studios, with several stores in West End and the Hero District.  There was even talk of him opening up a couple of new stores in the South Bay District.  Eret was anything but impressed.

Torey’s Fashion Studio was the utmost scum of the Earth in the Fashion Industry that Eret has ever met!  Torey’s would purposely hire new fashion designers straight out of college on internships, get them to sign prenups that their lawyers had drawn and never go over the specifics with the new interns.  And literally steal the interns designs!

Eret had the pleasure when one designer sought them out as Baron and explained the whole situation.  Torey’s Fashion Studio was holding a brand new intern's designs hostage.  It was either signed over the rights to all of their designs to Torey’s Fashion Studio or Torey’s Legal Team was about to Black List the new intern.  Meaning that the intern wouldn’t have been able to get a job anywhere in the Fashion Industry.

Oh yes, Eret was very familiar with them.  They’re surprised that Torey’s was still around after that scandal had made the news.

“Oh yes, I’m very familiar with Torey’s Fashion Studio.  You guys have stores in nearly all the districts.  What does this have to do with my shop?”  Eret demanded, throwing the pleasantries out the window.

“Well, we like to make your shop one of our own!  I think this place has great potential to be even more outstanding, don’t you think?”

“The answer is no!  Torey’s Fashion Studio is nothing more than a freakin’ scam in the Fashion Industry!  I’m surprised you guys are still around after the Baron exposed you for the frauds that you are!”  Eret said leaving no room for argument.

“Yes, well, the Baron ,” Torey spat.  “Had made a crucial mistake that came out in the courts.  You should really reconsider Mr. Eret.  I hate to see anything  .  .  .   happened to this establishment . ”

“Are you threatening me?”  Eret asked, raising an eyebrow.

“What?!  No!  Not at all!  It’s just that you know, East Side has a high crime rate -”

“Get out!”  Eret shouted, shoving Torey out the door.  “Get out now!”

(East Side, Later that Night)

Motha was flying around East Side enjoying the cool air under her wings, while patrolling.  Motha loved being a Vigilante!  It was so freeing and the best part was that she was able to finally do what the damn Hero Committee, the Order, wouldn’t let her do.  Be an actual Hero and help save lives.  Motha stopped on the roof of some random building and took a few deep breaths.  No use in getting worked up over some old memories.

Motha, like her brother Arachnid, signed up for the Hero Program, wanting to actually be a Hybrid Hero to show everyone that you can be something no matter what!  Well that dream came crashing down when Motha got a heavy dose of reality.  The so-called “Hero Committee” was nothing more than a bunch of old Heroes stuck in their ways!

There was so much politics and certain clicks that you had to be a part of in order to actually be taken seriously.  Not to mention that if the Hero Committee deems your power too “Weak” in their opinion, then you either don’t make it in the Hero Program or like what happened to Motha.  Just be pushed to the side as a Sidekick!

They didn’t even put her as a Hero but as a “Hero-in-Training.”  Translation: “We don’t think your Hero material but since you’ve managed to pass the Hero Program we’re going to have you stick by an actual Hero to learn from.”

Meaning, that you would be put with a Hero and the Hero is your boss and has full control of your pay and what not.  And you don’t even get any credit!  The Hero that you’re the Sidekick to gets all the credit, all the publicity, all the attention, all the perks, all the praise.  Even if you’re the one that saved the day or saved the Hero, you just got overlooked, glossed over, shunned, pretended you were never there.

So, Motha did something that was in the Order’s eyes considered the utmost traitorous and sinful act possible!  Next to actually becoming a Villain.  ( Huh, I wonder if Mom wouldn’t mind teaching me then? )  Motha actually quit!   She left the Hero Tower and became a Vigilante instead.  Of course the Order couldn’t take that lying down so what did they do?  They kept her on as a “Hero” even though her Prime Damn Hero License expired!   They still have her in the system as “Suspended Indefinitely” even though she fully left.  Handed in her resignation, flipped the one in charge of the Committee off and stormed out.  Never to be returned!

Sure she helped out a few Heroes in battle but that’s because the “Minor” Heroes needed help!  The top dogs were too busy doing whatever and of course the Hero Committee would always say, “Help is on the way!”  And it would take them a good half an hour or so to finally show up, defeat the Villain and get all the glory while the actual Heroes that did all the work got a slap on the back and half hearted, “Good Job!”

Yeah, to say Motha wasn’t happy or impressed was a freaking understatement!  Don’t get her wrong, Motha is super proud of her brother, Arachnid!  That dude went through so much just to get where he is!  And proved that he’s just as good as the “Dream Team” or whatever they want to call themselves.

Alright Motha, focus!  You need to calm down!  Yes, no one will hear this inner monolog rant but you need to focus!  You can’t stop crime if you're dwelling on old memories.  Suddenly a moth appeared and landed on Motha’s extended hand.

“Why hello there!  Find anything interesting?”  Motha asked.  The moth told Motha that there was a store about to be robbed.  It spotted a group of thugs heading towards Eret’s!

“Alright let’s go!”  Motha said, spreading her wings and taking off.

(Monarch’s Clothing)

It had been a long day!  Eret was still fuming from the audacity of Torey!  Oh Eret knew perfectly well what the so-called “Critical Mistake” was.  Torey’s Lawyers wound up scaring a few of the interns and literally paid for their silence and to drop the charges.  Luckily they weren’t able to scar them all off and the court proceedings went off without a hitch.  It was one of the most publicized court cases ever!

Eret had nearly gotten themself arrested just by showing up at the Courthouse  in full costume as Baron.  Luckily the Heroes understood that Baron was there for the Witnesses and was a Witness themself.  It was difficult when both Eret and Baron had to be at the Courthouse.  Good thing Eret was on Neutral Terms with a lot of Villains and the more “Villainess” Vigilantes.  Jester and McCormick had saved their butt during those times.

Oh Eret couldn’t wait to finally take down Torey’s Fashion Studio and expose them for the frauds that they are! After saving and sending their reports to their bookkeeper, shutting everything down and locking the safe and Office up.  Eret was about to lock up and then head home, when a crash from the front of the store caught their attention.  Heading to the front of the store, Eret saw a bunch of thugs ransacking the place.

Of course Torey wasn’t going to take Eret saying no and calling them out.  That was another thing about Torey’s that made Eret’s blood boil.  If there was any type of competition then Torey’s would make sure there was no competition by any means necessary.  Including staging a break in and destroying the place.

Eret hit the silent alarm, alerting the cops and was about to dash in the back and quickly change into his Baron costume.  When they heard a familiar female voice.

“Excuse me, but don’t you know it’s past closing time?”  Motha was standing in the doorway leaning against the door frame, arms crossed and what Eret could only assume a raised eyebrow.

One of the thugs charged at Motha and in three quick moves, the thug was down for the count.  And that was all it took, like a signal that was setoff, the group of thugs charged at Motha.  Hoping the numbers game would be enough.  Motha was holding her own, dodging and tanking many hits and strikes.  While landing mostly all of hers.  Then the door burst open and in came Nuke and Ender.

Eret just stood there and watched the fight unfold.  All three Vigilantes were doing well.  It was clear that Nuke and Ender have some training but not nearly enough.  Both of them at least were holding their own without having to rely on their powers.  In about ten minutes, Motha, Nuke and Ender were zip tying the thugs hands to the clothing racks (very clever) and taping weapons to the wall.  Then Motha came over to check on Eret.

“Hey, Eret!  Long time no see!”  Motha greeted.

“Motha, good to see you.  And you must be Nuke and Ender?”  Eret held out their hand.  “I’m Eret, I own this place.  You guys had quite a debut.”

“Eret here helps all Vigilantes with their suits.  In exchange we help keep an eye out for their business.”

“Well, it’s more than that!  You guys do what the Heroes are supposed to do.  Stopping Crime.  So, I offer my services as best as I can.”

“We’ll think about if we need an upgrade,” Nuke said.

“Alright, you guys need to head out before the cops show up,” Eret said.

And with that Ender grabbed both Nuke and Motha and disappeared in a cloud of purple particles.

dsmp superhero au thing i didnt finish

Tommy rewinded the tape again. This couldn't possibly be right.  If Tubbo was nowhere near the scene then how is he right there on screen?  It’s not like Tubbo lied, Tommy was with him the whole time.  

He sighed and closed his laptop.  He could review the tapes again later.  Right now all he needs is a good meal and coffee.  He stood up from his seat, and made his way across the room, into the open kitchen.  

He then proceeded to trip. Fuck. That hurt.  Tommy pushes himself up off the floor, just to realize he had no coffee left.  Great.  

He slipped his shoes on, and grabbed his phone and keys.  His apartments have no elevator, which means he has four sets of stairs to get down, and fast.  It was 10pm and the local diner he was planning to visit closes at 12.  Tommy’s night was just going great, wasn’t it?

He hurriedly finished down the stairs, and left the building.  He sprinted for a while, just to make sure he’d make it in time, before slowing down to a slow jog. 

Finally, Tommy had made it to his destination, a small diner called XRose. Weird name, but the food is good. He slowed down his walking pace as he entered.  There was only one person working up front. They must be a new employee.  The person had curly brown hair, and was wearing a sweater that frankly was a bit ugly.  Wait, that was really mean. Whatever.  Tommy glanced around, there was no one else in the diner. Awkward. 

He sat down in a small booth, and the person approached him. 

“Hello, welcome to XRose, I’ll be your server today. My name’s Wilbur. I'll give you a minute to look over the menu.” He left immediately. Weird guy.

Tommy glanced at the menu that was set down, already having decided on what he wanted.  He always orders the same thing every time he comes here.

The table had a small vase with a couple roses in it. How on brand.  He was a bit sad that his favorite server, Deo Time, wasn’t working tonight.  Tommy checked the time on his phone, it was 10:53.  At least it took him under an hour to get here? That had to be counted as a plus.  Tommy glanced around for the server, Wilbur. What a weird name. Who names their kid WIlbur these days? Not that Tommy could talk, his legal name being Theseus. Anyways, back onto the topic, his server was nowhere to be found at the moment.  He sighed, and tapped his fingers on the table.

After a while longer, Wilbur returned.

“Are you ready to order?” he asked, seemingly annoyed. 

“Uh- yeah!” he then stuttered out his order, which in turn got him a weird stare, before Wilbur said some pleasantries before leaving.  God, Tommy really messed that one up, huh? 

Tommy opened his phone, checking his texts. What a surprise, there's none.  He opened his messages with Tubbo.  He started typing. ‘Do you know anyone with shapeshifting powers?’. He erased it. ‘How were you in two places at once?’. No, that would sound like he's blaming him. ‘Why do the tapes show you there, when you were with me the whole time?’. Yeah, that’ll do. He hit send, and then was scared by his order being set in front of him. He jumped in surprise.

“Here's your order!” God this guy sounded so awkward.  He grinned at Tommy for a second before leaving him to his food. 

Tommy started eating.  It had taken around 30 minutes to get his food, meaning he had around 35 minutes to eat.  He rushed to eat as fast as he could.  He finished eating a while later, and paid on one of the tablets they kept on tables.  He left a 20 tip.

He rushed to leave, wanting to get  home as fast as possible, he had to work in the morning at 8am.  Fuck it was cold out.  This is what he gets for going to a diner in the middle of the night, without a jacket. This is fine.  He just has to get home.  Yup. And then he can sleep, work, and get back to those tapes. If only his life was that simple.  He got halfway home before the first interruption.

A man grabbed Tommy, shoving him into the alleyway nearby, demanding all his money.

“Dude, what the hell, do I look like I have money?” That was a mistake, seeing as the guy now had a knife to his throat. Oops.

This is bad. Oh god. Fuck. What are you supposed to do in this situation? The guy was screaming at Tommy now. Somewhere in the midst of this his eyes fell closed.  He must have been shaking from fear. The knife is pulled tighter against his throat, and Tommy fully expected this to be his end, but then it all stopped. He opened his eyes after hearing a yell. 

Right in front of him was one of the top heroes, Time Warp.

I'VE BEEN HAVING A CRISIS--!!

Ugh, i keep going back to old art from last year, and i tend to come back to my old dsmp aus stuff

I'm not into dsmp anymore, honestly, so i dont have much motivation yo continue what i started...BUT THE STORIES WERE SO GOOD MAN I WISH I HAD FINISHED IT *sobs*

And I've seen quite a few folks who inevitably did like the story, idk they probably wont see it anymore

But man

Ugh, idk if I'll be able to bring it back, as much as i want to, not in art at least. I'm already busy with school, and also my fnaf comic...but i just, i kinda wanna finish, at least the vigilant au-

Idk, maybe, for those who might still remember this au, would yall want me to try and finish it fic wise? The story itself was kinda short, but it's one i really liked, so i might be able to write it

[idiot-mushroom]

how our heroes met philza

[zeichannnnn]

The gang finally drawn

Ngl, while I was colouring Tubbo, all I can think of is deku cause he has similar hairstyle plus the green is the deku shade of green,,,

Anyways, character design is not fixed! This is still in its concept/baby phase cause I’m still uncertain about how I want them to look like and there are certain design choices and elements I’m still unsure of whether to put it in or not :P

[star-loss]

dude i have gotten to obsessed with drawing ranboo from my own bench trio vigilante au :(

[not-so-wasted]

Unfinished animation im working on!

Benchtrio centric hero/villain/vigilante au in which Tommy, Tubbo, and Ranboo are infamous vigilantes who protect their sectors when no hero will, unfortunately thats against the law

*eye roll*

So the hero league sends 3 of their best heros to take these "wrong doers" down. Benchtrio fight relentlessly, but they're no match against Sirens beckoning calls, much less the giant beating wings of The Angel, or the calculated attacks from The Blade. So they fall, and are taken away, unconscious and bloodied from the battle. When they wake up, they find themselves in a safe with a missing member. Where was Tommy? They could only hope everything was okay, but their flowing imagination didnt help to keep their worry at bay. They could have killed him! Days pass with no signs of them being able to escape until they hear a banging at the wall. This is it. Cornerd here with no energy, they would die at the hands of the heros. Turns out its just Tommy lol

[hello-goodbye123433]

I'm bored and procrastinating, so let me try to convince you to read my DSMP/HermitCraft fanfic:

Complex political systems, an evil hero committee, non-SBI found family, secrets, reunions, there's only like three actually innocent characters, meddling gods, and a healthy dose of irony at every corner. That's not including all the trauma that got everyone to where they are!

Did I mention main character bench trio?

[ineedtosleep-taylorsversion]

…hiiiiii Tumblr. Now what if I told you I’m writing my first fanfic??? Vigilante c!Tommy with some c!Sbi too, obviously???? What would you think??? c!Tubbo and c!Ranboo are a must, also????

…what if?

now if you could interact with this and give me motivation and stuff and I’ll post the first chapter as soon as I finish it!! I promise I’ll make it really really good for you guys <3

[rat-rosemary]

I was going to scream about how I can't read fics with antagonistic Dream anymore because his character is just so badly written and once but then I started thinking about an au where Dream is an actual interesting character and I've come up with two Tommy-centric hero aus

Vigilante Tommy gets in a fight with hero Dream while on a patrol, asks about Dream's ring in an attempt to distract him. Dream, who loves his fiances so much and will absolutely take any chance to talk about them is stoked to stop the fight to show off his minecraft themed engagement ring and tell Tommy (and Tubbo, who demands to be put on speaker so he can ask Dream about where he got the ring) all about his soon to be husbands (The bench trio ends up getting invited to Dream's wedding, Tommy very proudly being the flower boy) (Featuring: Queer platonic bench trio and Tommy being a menace on the internet)

And a second, much angstier au

Standard vigilante Tommy villain sbi found family, heroes Sapnap and George being the main antagonists. They target the syndicate and anyone related to them in any way, fighting them in a harsh and brutal way that makes it clear they're "shooting" to kill. The two of them used to be in a trio with the hero DayDream, being know as a trio that was actually pretty good at descalation and taking down villains without too much damage to the villain or the space they're fighting in. That is, until DayDream suddenly stopped appearing publicly almost a month ago, George's and Sapnap's behavior changing completely since then. The reason why is a mystery to Tommy until later, when he meets Dream and discovers that the reason George and Sapnap are like this now is because Dream got badly injured when he intercepted a test biologic bomb Villain!Wilbur had thrown at a group of civilians on an attack almost a month ago, and he has been getting sicker and sicker since then, with their only hope of restoring his health being figuring out what the fuck was on that bomb. But even still, he might never recover.

Tommy Innit's Secret Clinic, Chapter 12: Tubbo, You're Going!

Summary: Tubbo gets his letter from the Esempi Tech School. Tommy tries to figure out how they are going to pay the rest of the tuition.

TW: I don't think there's any in this chapter!

A/N: This is a bit of a filler chapter and this focuses more on some Character Development with the Bench Trio. So, I'm trying really hard to start writing again and I do apologize for the long a waited wait for the next update! Will try to write some more chapters before school starts then try to update when I can!

Enjoy the story! HAPPY CREATING!

(Bench Trio Apartment)

Things at the house between Tommy and his best friends/roommates have been tense.  Tubbo kept checking his phone as if he was expecting a call of some sort.  At first, Tommy thought that it was a client that had hired Tubbo to make them something for the up-and-coming Robot Wars.   But the way Tubbo was acting it didn’t seem like that was it at all and there was no way that Tubbo would be this tense or worried about work.  So something clearly was bugging Tubbo but every time Tommy brought it up, it was met with a flimsy excuse or another until Tommy dropped the subject altogether.

Ranboo wasn’t doing much better.  Ranboo kept up with the news more often than he usually did.  Normally, Ranboo would just turn on the news station to see what the weather was going to be like or just catch the morning show that he loved so much.

But recently Tommy noticed that Ranboo has not only been keeping an eye on the news channels but also any sightings relating to the Syndicate.  Including the app that was preloaded on every phone on the Heroes & Villains Alert.  It was strange, Ranboo never showed a huge amount of interest in the Heroes and Villains before.  So why the sudden change?

It had been over a month since Tommy healed Siren and Tommy gave them his number.  So far nothing.  No phone calls, no text messages, nothing.  Tommy allowed himself to relax after about a week of silence.  He still had a lot of fun at the Café with Wilbur and occasionally Techno would come in too.  Tommy loved to banter with Wilbur and Wilbur had no problem in talking with Tommy about anything and everything.  Tommy still smiled when he remembered their encounters.  It was special to him.

As Tommy went through his daily routine of getting ready for the day during this late morning.  Tommy decided to head down and check the mail.  Junk mail, junk mail, a letter for Tubbo, junk mail.  A new restaurant called Vulpes just opened up and was having its grand opening.  Junk mail, a letter for Ranboo from work, a letter to Tommy from work, bill, bill, rent’s due soon, a catalog and magazine for Tubbo.

Tommy didn’t really pay much attention to the mail as he sorted it.  When he was done he just took his letter from work and began to read it and a smile appeared on his face.  Tommy would be eligible for benefits here soon!  Great!  He could easily sign up for Health Insurance and will really help them out in the long run! Checking his watch, Tommy saw that he had some time to grab a quick lunch before he had to head out.

(Bad’s Café)

The Café was buzzing with people!  People came to get their coffees straight from work, and the evening crew got their caffeine before heading out.  School kids came in to hang out with their friends before school started in about a month.  College and Tech stunts piling in and getting their favorite snacks before heading off and grabbing their dorm rooms.  Tommy honestly didn’t mind it.  He loved the busy rush between afternoon and evening.  It made the time go by faster and if he was lucky.  Tommy would be able to get out a bit early.

The mad rush soon died down, and Tommy was finally able to breathe for a bit and have a little fun bantering with Wilbur.  Right now, he was currently in a debate with Wilbur about, believe it or not, sand.  Sand!

“Oh, my Primes!  Wilbur!  You eat sand?!”  Tommy exclaimed, hoping he heard the brunette wrong.

“What’s wrong with sand?  It’s crunching, it’s nice, it’s good.”  Wilbur explained like he was talking about the weather and not eating sand.

The two went back and forth for a while on this topic before the doorbell chimed again and in walked a solemn-looking Tubbo and a concerned-looking Ranboo.  Tommy stopped his banter with Wilbur when the two walked in to give a heartfelt greeting and was suddenly concerned when he saw the look on Tubbo.  Tubbo and Ranboo grabbed a seat at a nearby corner table and Tommy quickly excused himself to see what was up with his two roommates.

Tubbo and Ranboo rarely came to the Café when Tommy was working.  They stopped by every now and then and Tommy had no problem with it.  What concerned Tommy though was just how down Tubbo looked when the two came in.  Tommy walked over to the two with drinks in hand.  Tommy knew their orders by heart and Tubbo looked like he could use a pick-me-up.

“What’s wrong Tubbo?”  Tommy asked when he came over and set the drinks on the table.

“Take a look,” Tubbo said, gesturing to the letter on the table.

Uh oh.  Did Tubbo get rejected from one of the Tech Schools he applied to?  Tommy hoped not but the chances are that that’s probably why Tubbo’s so bummed.  Tommy picked up the letter and began reading it.

“ Dear Mr. Tubbo Underscore,

We appreciate you applying with us here at Esempi Tech School.  And would like to congratulate you on getting in. ”

Tommy read the first line and practically threw himself at his friend.

“Tubbo!  You got in!”

“Keep reading Tommy, it gets worse.”

Confused, Tommy continued.

“ We looked over your application and you requested financial coverage. We would like to inform you although you did not qualify for the full scholarship. You have been approved for a partial scholarship.  If you can cover the rest of the tuition we will be seeing you this fall! ”

The rest of the letter talks about sign-in dates, orientation, dorm rooms, and how everything you needed, including a food budget for groceries and/or lunch specials would be provided.  Along with all the materials including textbooks and the materials that would be used in the labs.  Then Tommy saw the bill that they had to pay and understood why Tubbo was so stressed.

Five thousand dollars.  That’s the part that they had to pay.  Tubbo was able to get a particle scholarship and all that was owed was five thousand dollars.  To some that wouldn’t be a problem but for someone like them?

“Tubbo,” Tommy said after a few minutes of reading the letter.  “You’re going.”

“But Tommy!”  Tubbo tried to protest.  “Five thousand dollars?!  You might as well make it fifty thousand dollars!  There’s no way we can afford that!  Let alone find a way to pay for it!”

“Tubbo,” Tommy grabbed Tubbo’s hands making the brunet look at him.  “You’re going!  You’ve been dreaming of going to this school since you were thirteen.  You’ve been applying and trying to get into Esempi Tech School for the last two years, Tubbo.  You��re going!”

“H-how?  We can barely afford, spending money for Birthdays and Holidays as it is.  How are we going to afford something that’s three months' rent!”

“Tubbo, you’re worth it.  We’re going to find a way, trust me.  You’re going!  This has been your dream, Boss Man.  I’m not going to let you throw it away.”

Tubbo gave a small smile.  Hey, Tommy will take that as a win.  Tommy had to head back and return to work now that a few more customers started to come in.  Tubbo and Ranboo finished up their drinks before they went back to their apartment.  Tommy looked around the Café and he didn’t see Wilbur anywhere.  Huh, that’s strange where did Wilbur disappear to?  Shrugging his shoulders thinking that Wilbur probably ducked out when he was busy with Tubbo and Ranboo and headed back behind the counter.

It was an hour left before closing and Tommy was starting his closing routine a bit earlier than usual seeing as how slow they were.  Tommy kept going back to the conversation before with Tubbo and Ranboo.  How were they going to afford that?  Tubbo has been trying to get into the Esempi Tech School for over two years now.  Working on his application, on his resume, and his portfolio.  Tubbo even sent in some How To Videos showing how he built some of the Robots he got commissioned for.  And some gadgets too.

Ever since Tommy met Tubbo, he had been planning on going to the Esempi Tech School and then being the Lab Assistant to the Warden.  Tubbo can try to hide it all he wants, but Tommy can still tell that Tubbo is still a big fan of the Warden.  Tubbo’s opinion of the Heroes might have changed over the years. But that gleam in Tubbo’s eyes when he gets started on some contraption that Tommy couldn’t even pretend to follow along.

Yeah, Tommy was going to make sure that Tubbo got into his dream school so he can get his dream job.  Now the question was, how?  How was Tommy going to find the money to help pay for Tubbo’s tuition?  The answer came to Tommy when he took his phone out and was about to open up his Spotify App.

Tommy completely forgot that he had it on the L’Manburg News when he was scrolling through the free apps.  There on the front page was the most recent report of a Villain sighting.  Erinyes.  Tommy saved Erinyes and gave Orcus and Siren his number if they ever needed a Healer.

The Syndicate said that they owed Tommy two favors and Orcus did say they could offer him protection and money.   Money that Tommy could use to pay for Tubbo’s tuition.  Money that Tommy could use to help get a better apartment for the three of them and to pay for Tubbo’s tuition!

Now, the question was, how did Tommy get a message to the Syndicate about wanting to cash in that favor or at least possibly talk about being their Healer?
