Summary:

It was no secret that Logstedshire was the worse area to live in the entire esmpee. The crime rates were high constantly and heroes rarely patrolled there. It was also no secret that it would be ten times worse if not for the vigilantes that patrolled.
Of course said vigilantes had normal lives to lead which is why Tommy was currently standing at the counter of the Sunshine Cafe.

Chapter 1: Bird Brain pt 1

Summary:

Meet your friendly neighborhood vigilantes and a socially awkward piglin.

The day has come the rewrites have begun.
Posted 5/13/24

It was no secret that Logstedshire was the worse area to live in the entire esmpee. The crime rates were high constantly and heroes rarely patrolled there. It was also no secret that it would be ten times worse if not for the vigilantes that patrolled.

Of course said vigilantes had normal lives to lead which is why Tommy was currently standing at the counter of the Sunshine Cafe. He glanced up at the clock to see how much time was left for his shift. He sighed a breath of relief when he realized it was only 20 minutes.

*****

Techno was standing by the front door wondering whether or not he should get coffee. Unfortunately his social awkwardness and his habit of going out only when necessary kept him inside.

Ahh but I wanted a coffee

F in the chat for Techno’s social life

Techno shook his head. “Chat bugging you?” his father Phil asked as he sat down on the couch, Techno nodded. “They take a jab at your social level again?” another nod, “Hey you know they like you even if it doesn’t feel like it.” he said Techno glared at him.

You know he’s right Techno

We all love you here <3

Phil just got up off the couch, “I’m going to go get started on dinner.” Phil said before going to the kitchen.

*****

Tommy had just finished his shift and was making his way back to his apartment getting inside he found Tubbo throwing a bunch of things around the apartment. He went to turn and leave put Ranboo called out to him “Tommy help me please! I don’t even know what I did.” he said before ducking behind the couch as Tubbo started to aim at when he heard his voice. 

 

“Oh for fucks sake!” Tommy grumbled “Tubbo if you don’t knock this shit off I swear to god i’ll limit your projects.” he shouted to be heard over the noise as Tubbo had start to grab pots and pans. 

As soon as the threat left his mouth Tubbo dropped everything he was holding and looked at Tommy “You wouldn’t dare.” he said voice steady but one look in his eye told Tommy that he knew that Tommy would “Oh but I would bee boy. I don’t have the time or energy to deal with injuries.” he said. Tubbo looked around the room and the back at Tommy at least 10 times before sighing and going to clean it all up.

“I still don’t understand how you can get him to listen to you.” the enderman hybrid said “Years of practice and making good on my threats.” Tommy replied looking at his friend with a smile. “You going out tonight?” Ranboo asked, at those words Tubbo’s head turned slightly toward them “Yeah, it’s me and Purpled tonight.” the boy replied. About 30 minutes later found the boys relaxing on the couch watching Up again. “You want to eat now or after your patrol?” Ranboo asked once the movie was over, “What are we having?” the boy asked eyes narrowing slightly “I don’t know probably spaghetti.” the boy said Tommy groaned “I’ll eat after. I’m bringing Purpled with me so be aware.” he said.

 

With a nod from both the boys he went to put on his vigilante outfit. The outfit was simply a red hoodie and a pair of reinforced black leggings sue him they were comfortable. Once he left off the roof because the window was way to obvious and not because his wings didn’t fit out the window no that was not the reason Tubbo.

He made his way to his and Purpled’s meeting spot keeping an eye out for heroes and villains alike.

 

Purpled looked up when the faint rustle of feathers reached his ears. He waited for the winged boy to come up to him “You know one of these days I’m going to beat you here and then you’ll have to come to me.” he said Purpled had to hold in his laugh “You could if you left the apartment earlier and didn’t wait till the last minute.” he said letting his amusement into his voice “It’s not my fault Tubbo’s a clingy bitch.” he retorted. Purpled rolled his eyes.

 

The two silently made there way through the familiar route. Tommy wanted to go check on the other areas and waited for Purpled to go stop a mugging before going off the route. 

Making his way on a route he didn’t frequent he heard more than saw a set of wings. Hiding in the shadows the looming form of Thanatos landed a few roofs down. His breath hitched slightly, one of the leaders of the Syndicate was in Logstedshire.

He stood ready to fly over at the slightest hint of danger to civilians. Allowing his senses to expand out he heard footsteps heading towards the roof Thanatos was on. He was met with the sight of the Blood God. Both leaders of the Syndicate in one place couldn’t be good. Silently he crept closer to the edge of his roof to make the jump. 

*****

Phil had seen the two vigilantes while flying over and had called his son for a quick rooftop meeting. He saw one of the vigilantes and kept quiet although he could tell that he was spotted. Landing on the roof he waited either for his son to come or the vigilante to attack.

It wasn’t long before his son made it on the roof but Phil couldn’t help but notice how the vigilante tensed as soon as their footsteps became audible to Phil’s sensitive ears. The man tilted his head subtly no one was able to expand their senses that well without having a power for it.

 

Techno cleared his throat and Phil zoned back into the present “Alright so the hero committee is behind on how active the vigilantes are here seeing as I just saw two running across the roofs.” he said noticing how the vigilante on the roof over untensed a little. Motioning his son over and keeping his hands low he signed ‘One of them is on the roof over there but don’t worry i’ll check it out later.’ with a nod from his son he waved him away to go do what they had to.

 

Tommy was about to turn around and leave when he felt the air displace around him. Turning around he was fact to face with Thanatos. He subtly got into a more sturdier stance. “Hey now easy there mate. I was just wondering why you left your partner to follow my path.” the man said posture relaxed.

 

Tommy didn’t even truly know why he had left Purpled his thoughts were just muddled and confused and the way filled him with warmth whenever he was facing that direction.

He just shrugged “I dunno felt like it.” he said Thanatos nodded before looking at his wings “You should really preen those. You’re just going to hurt them and yourself flying like that.” he said motioning to the wings. His hands got a little to close to Tommy, so he batted them away. The minute their hands touched Tommy fell to his knees while Phil held his head.

 

Both had the same thoughts running through there head ‘Flock! Flock is safe. Flock is warm.’ Phil shook his head use to the sudden onslaught of thoughts the same thing happened when he met Techno but it was clear that the young avian before him had never had such things happen or at least not of this intensity then he would have probably passed out yet the boy was still in pain and overwhelmed.

 

Tommy didn’t know what was going on. The thoughts in his brain weren’t his and they hurt. He vaguely remembered feeling this way though not as much when he met Tubbo, Ranboo, and Purpled. He slowly got up off the ground eyes looking for threats subconsciously. When he saw Thanatos he let out a chirp and flushed red. He opened his mouth to tell the man to fuck off and leave him alone but felt hurt at the thought of that.

His brain once again pestered him ‘Keep flock happy’, he soon realized he could do no good in this state. He went to the next roof over and pressed the side of his comm three times.

*****

Tubbo was monitoring both Purpled and Tommy so when he saw that Tommy spilt off he was slightly concerned but passed it off as Tommy chasing down a criminal. Purpled moved on along the route. It took about 15 minutes before Tommy’s dot moved and even then it wasn’t very far.

That’s when his dot started flashing. Tubbo’s heart started racing.

“Purpled I need you to get to the old warehouses by the dock ASAP! Tommy sent a panic.” Tubbo said quickly ready to help is brother in any way he can.

Chapter 2: Baby Bird Brain pt 2

Summary:

Some more baby bird brain with the crew

Notes:

Posted 5/28/24

Purpled arrived at the warehouses senses on high alert. Making his way through the area he saw a figure alone on the roof. Upon closer inspection he realized it was Tommy. Making sure his steps were audible he made his way towards the boy and knelt in front of him. “Hey Tommy can you look at me.” when the boy looked up Purpled was met with a tear stained face and eyes shining with innocence. “Oh Tommy come here bub what happened?” Purpled asked he was only met with a chirp. “I got him Tubbo but he has birdbrain and this time its definitely baby bird.” he said into his comm “Ok do you need Ranboo to come get you two?” “Yes please Tubbo. Tommy can’t fly and carrying him would take a while.” instead of a response Purpled saw purple particles. 

 

With a nod to Ranboo they were consumed by darkness and just as fast were deposited in the living room. Tommy had started crying again and was letting out distressed chirps. “Hey Toms you’re back home now. You’re safe.” Purpled said his voice soft. 

Tubbo and Ranboo shared a look never had they seen Purpled so gentle. The two of them left to go make dinner while Purpled tried to calm down Tommy.

“Hey Toms are you hungry or thirsty?” Purpled ask making sure to keep his voice gentle Tommy shook and then nodded his head. “You’re thirsty?” another nod and a chirp “Ok let go get you some water. When Purpled tried to leave the room Tommy started to let out distressed chirps. Purpled sat back down next to Tommy.

 

Covering his ears he yelled “Tubbo can you get Tommy a cup of water please.” “Yeah bossman.” came the responding yell. Waiting a few seconds to make sure there wasn’t anymore yelling he removed his hands from Tommy’s ears. A few seconds later there was a cup of water in his hand.

 

Slowly he tilted the cup back so Tommy could have some water but not choke. It was a few seconds later when an aww was heard. Turning his head he glared at Ranboo. Ranboo put his hands up in the universal sign of surrender before going back to the kitchen.

It wasn’t long before Tubbo joined the duo in the living room with his hands behind his back. “I figured since Tommy is in baby bird mode he might like something to play with.” he said pulling out a ring with different things some were shiny and others made noise when they were shaken. Looking to Purpled who gave a nod he passed the ring to Tommy. 

“The last time he had bird brain was when he met Ranboo and I and he seemed more protective than a baby.” he said slightly concerned for his friend. “Back then he needed something to protect and at the time you guys were more vulnerable then he was. Now he’s safe so he can have a baby bird brain not to mention that the person who triggered it it definitely way older than him.” Purpled told him “You seem to know how to take care of him well.” Tubbo said looking at his friends play with his new toy “When he first met me he was baby bird for awhile.” the man responded.

 

Tubbo nodded before smiling at the young avian “Hey Tom-Tom, i’m Tubbo and the person in the kitchen is Ranboo.” Ranboo came out the kitchen and waved at the mention of his name. “Tubs and Boo.” the little one replied bouncing a little. 

 

“Hey Ranboo how much longer until dinner?” Purpled asked as if to prove a point Tommy’s stomach growled. “I just finished it. You want me to cut Tommy’s into smaller pieces?” Ranboo said “If you don’t mind please.” Purpled said. A few minutes later everyone was sitting in the living room eating. Purpled helping Tommy sometimes when there was a particularly long noddle or his hands shook. Somehow Purpled and Tommy finished their food at the same time. Once dishes were cleaned and put away Purpled started to preen Tommy’s wings being the only one who knew how to do it properly. 25 minutes later and not a single feather hadn’t been looked at. It was around this time that it was decided that Purpled would stay the night to make sure Tommy would be looked after and also so that Tubbo and Ranboo would know what to do if something like this happened again.

 

It was around one in the morning when Tommy woke up. Turning his head he couldn’t see anything. Letting out a few distressed chirps had Purpled running over and pulling the blanket off his eyes. “Its ok baby bird. I'm right here you're safe." Purpled said pulling Tommy into a hug. He stroked the boys hair until he fell back asleep. The boy just nestled into Purpled’s side before falling back asleep. Purpled let out a fond sigh and repositioned the two before falling back asleep.

 

Purpled woke up to quiet laughter and immediately felt the lack of warmth at his side  looking around frantically for Tommy he saw him sitting on the floor in front of the tv letting out pleased chirps while Tubbo laughed in the background. Groaning Purpled sat up on the couch. The noise attracted the attention of Tommy who let out a string of happy chirps.

 

“How long has he been waiting?” Purpled asked as he went to the kitchen to get Tommy some breakfast “Only about 20 minutes.” Ranboo replied. Purpled nodded before coming back into the living room with a bowel of cereal for everyone. Conversation started up as everyone ate there breakfast and most of the topics included the little avian who was happily splashing his spoon in his milk. 

 

“How much longer until we have older Tommy back?” Tubbo asked, Ranboo nodded he had been wondering the same thing. “Either by tonight or tomorrow I really don’t know. Although I feel bad for the rest of the Syndicate because while Tommy is little they have to deal with an avian to avian bond without the other avian.” he said a smug smile appearing on his face. Tubbo and Ranboo’s smiles soon matched his own. “Yeah the fuckers deserve it” Tubbo said forgetting the child that sat next to him, “Fuckers” Tommy said with a little smile on his face. The expressions around him ranged from mild amusement, murderous and terrified.

Chapter 3: Bird Brain pt 3

Summary:

Oooh a Syndicate meeting and Dadza bird brain

Notes:

TW
-Sword
-Threatening with sword
Posted 6/6/24

Phil watched helplessly as the young avian tried to fly to the next roof but couldn’t get his wings to flap. He saw him sigh before jumping over to his and covering himself with his wings. He stood there trying to decide on what to do but that choice was made for him when he saw the other vigilante go check on him. It wasn’t but a minute later that another person joined them before they vanished in a flurry of purple particles.

Phil slowly made his way home. He prided himself on his ability to not let his emotions or unnecessary instincts cloud his mind but right now it was pretty hard. His head starting hurting when he got about half-way home.

Entering through his window like he usually would proved to be more difficult than he previously thought with his pounding headache. He eventually got into his room but by that timed he caused enough chaos for his son to come and investigate. He was met with the comical sight of Phil halfway in his room through the window while flapping his wings erratically. After standing there for a minute due to a short bout of laughter from Techno Phil was helped through his window. “Not a word.” Phil said trying his best to look threatening Techno however just laughed before going back to his room.

Phil looked around his room before letting out a chirp of dissatisfaction, where was the nest? Going around the house he grabbed all the blankets and pillows that weren’t in use and setting them up in the middle of the room. After looking around and making sure the nest was perfect he let out a chirp of satisfaction and laid down.

In the morning Phil was the first to rise and a part of him felt empty. It was at that moment that he realized that he would be like this for awhile, or until whatever happened when he met that vigilante wore off. Making his way downstairs he went to go make himself a cup of coffee.
He opened the cupboard and looked around trying to decide what mug to use when he grabbed a red and white one. He wondered what caused him to grab that specific mug. He had never used it before he just bought it out of impulse due to his bird brain a few years back.

It was not long after that he started making breakfast. Techno came down not to long after smelling breakfast. It wasn’t long after that before the table was set with servings of eggs, pancakes, and bacon.

“So we have a Syndicate meeting later today.” Phil said, just because his bird brain was acting up didn’t mean he could just cancel on his team. Techno nodded as he continued to eat. “Everyone’s going to be there so I expect you to be on your best behavior.” Phil said “Dad i’ve been going to these since I was 16.” Techno said “I know just giving you a heads up.” Phil said before heading back to his nest.

‘I don’t think it’s a good idea to have the meeting. He still has a really bad case of bird brain.’ Techno thought ‘But I know I can’t change his mind the best I can do is protect him.’ He went upstairs to change for the meeting.
*****
It didn’t take very long to get to the Syndicate meeting place from their house. Phil had bought a house nearby intentionally that close all those years ago after Kristen and Thomas died. Phil still couldn’t shake the feeling that a part of him was missing as he opened the door. Upon entering the warehouse Techno looked around assessing the area for threats, finding none he let his guard go down a little.

It didn’t take very long for the rest of the Syndicate to show up. Nemesis and Thanatos showed up first then Rosethorn. It was not long after that Dealer and Daedalus showed up.

“Hello and thank you everyone for coming in today. I know you all have somewhat normal lives outside of villainy.” Phil said the statement getting around of chuckles from the table “If anyone has anything they want to address you now have the floor.” Phil said. Nemesis raised her hand and the gem of her bracelet glinted in the light. A chirp was heard from the head of the table and as the Syndicate turned towards Phil as his gaze stayed locked on the bracelet.
“Sorry about that Niki. Phil had a run-in with Phoenix and now his birdbrain is acting up.” Techno said Niki nodded her head before reaching in her bag and grabbing more bracelets before walking down and heading them to each Syndicate member, Phil letting out a happy chirp when he received his. “I had an entire thing planned out for these but this will do. Each of your bracelets have a different crystal or gem on it. Seeing as we all thought we needed a way to feel more connected I though these were perfect.” Niki said as Rosethorn wiped a few tears.

“Thank you Niki these are wonderful.” Techno said looking down at his bracelet. The meeting then proceeded as normal the group talking about which heroes and vigilantes they saw on patrol. It was then when they heard someone walking outside the warehouse.
Techno stood up and went to go investigate. It was then that Phil’s posture changed from serious yet gentle to protective and defensive. What they all found strange was that he didn't seem to want to protect anyone in the room but the person outside.
*****
Purpled was struggling to keep up with Tommy. He should’ve known better than to turn around even if it was just a few seconds. Now he was running through the streets trying to find his best friend. He saw a mop of blonde hair and breathed a sigh of relief only to realize it was to soon because there in all his glory was the Blood God.
*****
Tommy was scared he didn’t know what to do. He just wanted to follow the part of him that said home was nearby. He didn’t want to be near the scary man with a sword. He saw Purpled and apparently the scary man did to because he was quickly brought into the warehouse with a sword at his throat. Letting out an array of distressed chirps he looked around before making eye contact with the person at the head of the table. This man felt like home.
*****
Phil could feel his bird brain getting more and more restless and his senses were screaming about getting a member of his family out of danger but he didn’t know why. Techno was more than capable of handling whoever was outside. It when Techno brought in a boy with blonde hair that his bird brain went into overdrive ‘babies in danger! Protect baby!’ and other variations of that were going through his head.
“Techno let the boy go.” Phil said his voice like none that anyone in the room had ever heard. Techno was quick to comply and the minute the sword was gone form the boys neck Phil was there letting out soothing chirps. “Everyone change quickly there’s someone else outside who looks like they know the kid and I don’t want to know what length they’ll go to, to protect him.” Techno said.
It wasn’t but three seconds after everyone had changed that another kid came bursting through the door.
“I’ll be taking my brother back thank you.” he said before holding out his hand for the other boy to take. There was a second of hesitation before the boy went to him but not after letting out one last chirp to Phil.
*****
Phil had his intense bird brain for another day before he was back to normal. The avian woke up in a blanket nest and made his way downstairs. Looking over to his nightstand he saw a bracelet. After checking the time and deciding that Techno had to be awake he went downstairs to ask about it. It was quickly discovered that Phil couldn’t remember anything from his time with intense bird brain and neither could anyone else. One of the only things remembered was a boy with blonde hair.
*****
Kristen let a tear fall as she looked down and watched her family forget each other again. XD had told her they would come together soon. She looked over her family one last time as she heard Drista destroy what was probably important based on the way XD quickly left. The goddess of death let out a sigh as she hoped to be reunited with her family on the mortal plane soon.

Chapter 4: Oh my god he's dead (not really)

Summary:

Here is the first angsty chapter that occurred cause I was single on Valentine's day and wanted to make yall cry.

Notes:

TW
-temporary character death
-grief
Posted 6/15/24

It was just another day but little did the Craft family know this day would change them forever. It was a few days before Valentine’s Day when Kristen went out with Thomas to get cards for the family. The remaining Crafts went about cleaning the house so that their mother and wife respectively didn’t have to. It was that day the heroes got a little bit reckless and caused severe collateral damage to a store. What they didn’t know at the time was that was where Kristen and Thomas were. It took an hour before they got suspicious. It never took this long for Kristen to go out. Especially with Thomas he could never stay focused on shopping for long. Techno was the one to voice the thought looming in there heads “What store did mom and Thomas go to?” he asked looking at Phil. Phil had never seen his son so vulnerable, it was weird to see. His eldest who was concerningly well at controlling his emotions looking at him with tears glistening in his eyes. “I don’t know Tech. She changes it every year so we have a lower chance of getting the same card twice in a row.” he said being honest with his son, he didn’t need things to be sugar-coated he needed honesty right now. “Why hasn’t mommy called yet? If she knew a store was destroyed wouldn’t she call to let us know she was ok?” Techno asked . “I would think so sweetheart but she may have been in the store and her phone got destroyed.” he said.

That was when the injury and death count came from the attack. “The destruction of a store due to a villain attack has no survivors. Reports say that most died after the building came down due to the force. There was the chance of one survivor but they died in the ambulance one the way to the hospital.” the family tuned the rest out and waited for the phone call that never came. The same words repeating in their heads no survivors. “They’re going to pay.” Phil promised himself before falling asleep. He intended to keep that promise
****
To say Thomas was scared was an understatement. He had heard fighting by the store and his mommy must have to because she told him to wait outside while she checked out. He went outside right away. Mommy promised him ice cream if he listened and he really wanted ice cream. Right after he got outside he felt a giant gust of wind and when he turned around he didn’t see a building anymore all there was, was a pile of rubble. He ran far away from where the building once was. His little mind couldn’t process what was happening. Ducking in an alley he caught his breath when a figure jumped down from the roof. He backed himself into a corner. The person must have realized his distress because when they talked their voice sounded funny. “Hello there i’m Sam Nook. What’s your name?” the man asked, the little boy thought for a moment. His daddy told him to never tell his real name to strangers “My name’s Tommy.” he said quietly. “Nice to meet you Tommy.” he said “Why don’t you come with me and I can introduce you to a friend of mine.” Thomas no Tommy nodded.

What else happened that day he couldn’t tell you. Now he thought he was pathetic he couldn’t even remember what his first family looked like. He spent a day meant for love mourning the loss of a family he couldn’t remember. Tubbo and Ranboo told him he was fine and that they didn’t mind and that they understood and seeing from what he could remember but more importantly what he didn’t that whatever he went through was clearly traumatic. Purpled said pretty much the same things only he was threatened with less patrol time if he didn’t stop thinking that he wasn’t meant to feel what he felt.
****
Kristen didn’t want to be back in her domain so soon. But her youngest was safe, that’s all that mattered to her. She hadn’t felt a death aura with no survivors so close to her in years. But she was willing to risk everything for her family and she did. Making sure the form she had taken unrecognizable pained her. It held so many memories. Her wedding, adopting a strong intelligent boy having her first and only biological child. Speaking of him she needed to pay XD a visit. He controlled fate and who got what power and she wanted Thomas to have the best chance of making it.

It looked like she wouldn’t need to talk to him about making sure Thomas was safe because as she followed him she saw Sam who was a very young vigilante take her son where he was training another child Daniel if she remembered correctly but he liked going by Purpled. She could already tell he was going to be a good friend to her son. Making her way back to her house she saw her family trying to figure out what happened. Seeing Techno look like that broke her and when she saw their faces when it was announced there were no survivors. She felt the promise Phil made and wanted to hold him close and tell him she was ok but she couldn’t. She’d have to talk to XD about that as well, why she ended up in that store. Somewhere in the godly plane XD shivered feeling the yet to be unleashed wrath of a mother separated from her family while Drista laughed at him.
****
Kristen knew today was going to be hard on everyone especially Tommy although how Phil didn’t recognize his own son made her question somethings about what XD had planned. Even after all these years she still harbored a sort of grudge against the god. Afterall he was the reason her family was the way it was now. She couldn’t stop the pain she felt in her heart when Tommy wrote a card to her. Even though he did it every year this year’s held a lot more weight. After making sure he was getting taken care of she went over to her old house, she would be back to check on Tommy before he fell asleep.

Making her way through the house she let her presence be felt. Going to the living room she found her family all curled up against each other watching home movies. On the mantle a picture of Thomas and her sat with two lit candles red and a dark purple. She stood in the middle of the group patting each of their heads in the same order she did ever year starting with Techno and ending on Phil she always let her hand linger on his head for just a moment. “Hello Honey.” Phil said and she was met with a “Hi mom.” from Techno. She blew them all a kiss to chase the bad dreams away and inducing a good night’s sleep. Once she got to Tommy’s apartment she pulled him close. She fought XD every year and every year she won. She held Tommy close as he sobbed and when he cried himself to sleep she tucked him into bed and planted a light kiss on his forehead before walking out into the living room and leaving the trio out there with good dreams. It wasn’t very long before she had left the mortal plane and her and her family were alone again.

Chapter 5: Techno finally walks into the cafe

Summary:

Techno visits a cafe, Phil has an outrageous coffee order that came with a sprinkle of angst.

Mourning
Threats to a certain immortals life
Posted 6/21/25

Tommy had woken up to his alarm as usual and got ready for his shift at the cafe. Something was going to happen today he could feel it. But first he had to make it through breakfast. Now most people would think that it would be easy feat but they didn’t leave with a freakishly tall hybrid or a goat boy with a knack for explosions. Tommy made it through breakfast with his life and sanity but barely. He needed to find a way to distract Tubbo from making nukes. But that was a later Tommy problem.

 

The start of his shift was the same as always until someone new walked in. Tommy put on his best customer service smile before greeting the man at the door “Hello welcome to the Sunshine Cafe. My name is Tommy what would you like to order?” he said in his best customer service voice “Can I get a London Fog please.” the man said “Of course what’s the name for the order?” “Techno.” “Ok you’re drink will be ready shortly.” Tommy said before going to make the drink. It didn’t take long for Tommy to make the drink despite not making it in a few weeks. He was just good like that. A few minutes later a somewhat loud “Order for Techno.” rang through the cafe. Techno thought it would take a little longer to make his drink but still went up to get it. 

“We don’t really see any pigling hybrids here. By the way you should drink that while it’s still warm.” Tommy said as Techno came to get his drink “Thanks for letting me know.” he said before going to sit down. Chat was going crazy

Not on topic chat

Take him to dadza

Anyone think he looks familiar

Nah

No

Heh

Techno rubbed his temples chat was going to give him a headache. He put his head on the table and just hoped for peace and quiet.

 

The lunch rush was over finally and Tommy could finally relax slightly. Looking around the cafe he noticed Techno had his head down. He walked over to pick up the empty cup when Techno looked up. “Do you want anything else?” Techno thought for a moment before ordering whatever monstrosity Phil called coffee. Clearly Tommy agreed if the nose wrinkle he did was any indication.

*****

When Techno got back home he was assaulted with questions by his father “Techno where were you? You rarely leave the house during the day. Is that my coffee order?” Techno sighed before he went on to answer “To answer your questions in order, the Sunshine cafe, rarely doesn’t mean never, yes this is whatever you call coffee and the barista didn’t even want to make it. He said you might as well do drugs with how much caffeine is in there.” Techno said Phil took a sip before a look of confusion crossed his face “It’s one shot of expresso short.” he said “He cut you off at 4 saying he didn’t need the lawsuit.” “But I need 5 extra shots in my triple shot.” Phil said. Techno shook his head “How are you not dead yet? You know caffeine overdosing exists.” Techno said.

*****

Not long after finishing his coffee Phil let Techno know he was leaving. Making the short drive to the graveyard he grabbed the flowers he brought and sat down in front of the headstones.

 

Phil let a few tears fall on the grave of his wife and son. The fuzzy memory of the blonde hair boy that reminded him of his own. “I don’t know what to do Kristen. He reminded me so much of Thomas.” Phil said “Please help me. I don’t want to make a mistake.” he fell to his knees sobbing. 

Everyone thought Phil was an unbreakable leader. As long as he had his son by his side he would be fine. Very few knew much about who he really was though by his design and no one knew of his visits to the graves alone not even his son.

*****

“XD! Why do you keep doing this to them. They’re my family! You don’t understand how much this pains me. You’re not attached to the mortal plane. You don’t even visit you let Drista handle that.” Kristen said tears flowing freely down her face “If this damages any of them I will find a way to kill an immortal. She said her tone deathly serious.

Let me know if I missed any
Posted 6/23/24

Tommy was thinking about the day as he made his way back to the apartment. As he got to the building he felt his heart twist almost like something was missing. He shrugged off the feeling deciding to deal with it later.

Opening his apartment he was met with the sight of Silence with a nasty looking cut on his side laying on some towels. “I just want one day.” he muttered to himself “How did he get hurt?” Tommy asked looking over to Dealer and Rewind “He was trailing behind Aurelian and Fox when Aurelian turned and attacked him.” Dealer said putting a comforting hand on Rewind’s shoulder, Tommy sighed “You all know the drill stand back and somebody get me two glasses of water.” everyone did as they were told and Tubbo rushed to the kitchen to get some water.

Once he had the water Tommy poured some over his hand and let it fall through his fingers. His wings weren’t the only phoenix thing about him. He was also able to heal people. Even though it still worked well without water it worked better with. Allowing the water to pass through his skin allowed it to heal more quickly. His tears they had learned were the best but he didn’t want to cry every time he had to heal someone so the water worked.

As the water landed on the cut a sort of reddish gold light shown through. They all let out a sigh of relief at the tell tale sign that the wound was healing. Tommy grabbed the other cup of water and gulped it down.

Despite not even really having to do anything healing still drained him due to it using some of his energy. “You’re on no strenuous activity for a week got it. No patrols, no workouts, no yoga.” Tommy said giving them all a look “Now get out of my apartment.” he said shooing them out.
“Hey Tommy you ok?” Purpled asked sending a concerned glance towards the boy “Yeah why wouldn’t I.” Tommy said “I’ve known you for years Tommy just let me know whenever you’re ready” Purpled said. Tommy sent him a look of gratitude and a nod.

Tommy sat down by the window in the room and let himself feel the weight of the week. He had talked with the Angel of Death, got baby bird brain, mourned his mom, felt a connection to a piglin hybrid, had his heart twist on the way home, and had to heal Silence. He really had a chaotic week.

He typically didn’t let himself feel very much until he was alone. He knew it wasn’t healthy but there was only so much one person could take. He felt the tears rolling down his cheeks and just let them keep coming. What started as a few tears turned into sobs.

*****
There was something going on in the Craft household. They could all feel it. Something had happened when Phil got bird brain. They felt like they were missing a piece they just didn’t know what piece it was. The family activities didn’t feel complete. They never did since the incident but this incomplete felt different. Like they could fill it they just needed to do something. This was especially true for Phil. The aches were worse for him. They felt like they were close to their missing piece just not close enough.

It was truly a weird experience for them. That night they all went to sleep with the memory of the blonde haired boy and little whispered I love yous from the wind.

*****
Kristen was mad. She knew XD was hiding somewhere meaning he knew he had fucked up bad. She was watching over he family protecting their dreams all for XD to mess it up.

She hated seeing her family interact yet not be together. She couldn’t wait to be able to be with them again. But she had to wait. It was at this moment that she remembered she had XD’s number. She facepalmed before hitting the contact. She had lost sight of them as they slept. This hadn’t happened before meaning it was the work of a particular god

 

It went straight to voicemail so being the calm collected goddess she was she left a message “XD pick up the fucking phone, you stupid bitch. WHERE THE FUCK IS MY FAMILY!”, satisfied that it would get her point across she went to find Drista so that she could mess with the whatever XD was working on.

*****
Ranboo, Tubbo, and Purpled all sat down in the living room with cups of hot chocolate. “What’s going on with Tommy?” Tubbo asked looking over to Purpled “I don’t know. He’ll tell us when he’s ready though.” he replied, “Yeah but how long until he comes to us. We all know he’s probably in the room crying. Its not good for him.” Ranboo said “It’s not but we can’t force him to tell us. It’ll only push him away. Trust me I tried years ago when I first met him. It didn’t work and it took months for me to get trust back.” Purpled sighed “You just have to wait for him to come to you, whenever that may be.” Ranboo and Tubbo nodded they didn’t want to lose their friend. “I will tell you that sometimes you have to push him. But you need to remind him that he has people in his corner more than anything. You just need to be there for him.” he said before pulling a blanket over himself and laying down.

“Well that didn’t help us very much.” Tubbo said “I mean we did get a little more insight into what Tommy does and how to communicate to him that we’re here.” Ranboo said. The conversation was cut there as Tommy came out into the living room eyes red rimmed.

“Is there any hot chocolate left?” he asked getting a nod from Tubbo he went and grabbed the mug he made back when he had first met Purpled. It was red, green, pink, and a dark purple. Next to it was a similar mug only that one red, purple, bright green with the handle being a split between black and white.

After making his hot chocolate he sat down on the couch and snuggled into his friends. He soon fell asleep in the comfort and safety of their arms.

Posted 7/1/24

Purpled let out a groan as Tommy’s alarm went off. Looking over he saw him still sound asleep. Getting up he gently shook the boy awake, “Hey Tommy time to get up for work.” he said Tommy slowly opened his eyes “Already?” he asked Purpled nodded with a sigh.

Tommy stood up but before he could change into his uniform Purpled gently grabbed his wrist “Your wings need preened again do you want to do it or would you rather I do it?” he asked “I can do it.” Tommy said before going to the room to change. He did preen his wings what the Angel of Death had told him stuck, he didn’t want to get hurt.

*****
Techno was making it his mission to go to the cafe everyday. Tommy made going out slightly more bearable. Techno didn’t know why but he just naturally felt a pull towards the kid. The fact that he was loud enough for the two of them helped a lot to.

When he got into the cafe he Tommy had seemed more irritated than the other times was there. “Hullo can I get a vanilla cappuccino.” Techno said “Yeah that’ll be 4.75.” Tommy said. Techno handed him the correct amount before sitting on one of the stools by the counter.

Tommy went about making the drink grateful that Techno had arrived not that he would admit it. Tommy went and set the drink in front of the man and was about to walk away when Techno grabbed his hand.

“Hey Tommy talk to me. What’s got you upset?” Techno asked “What makes you think i’m upset.” Tommy snapped. Techno raised an eyebrow “I see what you mean. You don’t have to worry about it though my friends and I are handling it and I should be fine soon.” Tommy said “Yeah well that doesn’t make me feel much better. Despite what you say you’re still a kid. I’m guessing your friends are too and kids aren’t meant to be each others therapists so talk to me.” Techno said, “Fine I will once I get off ok.” Tommy said.

Techno stayed in the cafe for the rest of Tommy’s shift. He waited for Tommy by the door and Tommy was quick to join him. “C’mon lets go to the park.”

Once they were seated on a bench Techno looked at Tommy expectantly. “Ok so, when I was very young my mom died in an accident and we weren’t with the rest of my family. This other kid and dude found me. The guy helped train me so that I could my own in a fight. A few years later I met two people I call my brothers. I can’t remember my old family. Not their faces anyway. I can remember being told stories from one of my brother and hearing play violin. Listening to him create a beautiful melody. My fathers caring touches and mother’s sweet kisses. I feel her sometimes you know, like she’s there kissing my head and keeping the bad dreams away.” he said his voice cracking at the end “Oh Tommy.” Techno said lifting an arm.

Tommy dove into the mans side tears falling down his face “I just don’t understand why. Why we weren’t with the rest of my family.” Tommy said in between sobs “Me neither Tommy but i’m sure your family is out there looking for you.” Techno said “That’s the thing Techno my family thinks i’m dead. I saw the obituary they think I died along with my mom.” Tommy said eyes holding so much pain.
*****
Kristen was once again infuriated with XD. How dare he let her family interact without knowing each other. She wanted to scream and yell but she was a goddess and goddesses don’t act in such a manner, at least that’s what her father told her. But his constant reminders of what a goddess should and shouldn’t do seemed rather pointless know. A somewhat half smile graced her lips as she looked over at whatever chaos Drista was causing. XD thought if she helped raise the girl like her own all would be forgiven he was wrong of course. Nothing replaces the hole left in a mothers heart after being forced to leave her family.

She really was going to have to talk to XD about all of this later when she could have his full undivided attention on the matter at hand. But after being around for centuries you get quite well at multitasking. So as she sent a little whisper in the wind to remind her sons that she was always with them she was also making sure Drista didn’t cause to much chaos. It was a rather hard feat to keep her from wrecking another timeline but such things could be accomplished when you were a mother to 2 very chaotic children.

The sun had long since set over the horizon by the time she was able to go and see her family again. If they were all immortal she liked to think of what her children would command. Techno would be blood not just the shedding but healing as well and Tommy her sweet, sweet Tommy would truly command chaos, goodwill, and judgment. Now Phil he was her angel even if he couldn’t remember. Someone who carried out what death herself could not. Help her lead the young children and bring those who were cruel to their punishments and everyone to judgment where she would help Tommy make the right decisions.

It was wishful thinking but XD would never go for it. He already feared the day Drista truly took notice to Tommy and his friends. Now she may cause chaos but she did not command it she commanded wishes and thoughts. Now that did not translate to control. For she and XD had agreed to train the girl in that later.

She was now inside of Tommy’s apartment planting a gentle kiss on his head and making sure he was under the blanket nice and tight with one final kiss to keep away the bad dreams she left. Once on the godly plane again she looked at her own collection of mugs, green, pink, yellow, and red each painted with memories quite literally, one touch and the memory would play. But those were for another time now it was time to talk to XD.

Notes:

Ao3 is back up and so here is your chapter. Just got back from summer camp and it was decent. Going through and rereading these past few chapters has me wondering why I was so angsty. It's not like i'm going to stop the angst I just am curious to what was going on at the time. But considering the fact that these past few chapters are 2 years old i can't say i'm all that shocked. The Technoblade video that came out was great. If you want to leave a comment I respond to everyone. If you make anything feel free to tag me TikTok: MehTired Twitter: MehTired1.

Mentions of death
Vague threats of murder
Posted 7/9/24

Techno was tired comforting a sobbing child who in the eyes of literally everything was dead was hard. Now all he wanted was a mug of tea before bed. Although chat was definitely not helping.

What if he’s Thomas

We can’t be sure

Don’t get our hopes up

I still think he looks familiar 

Where would we have seen him

Well remember when

“Shut up chat i’m already tired.” Techno muttered. 

 

“Hey mate you look like you’re about to pass out.” Phil said looking at his son with concern “Yeah dad i’m fine just didn’t know emotions could be so exhausting.” Techno said grabbing a tea bag. “Well tell me about it.” Phil said going to the living room with Techno following behind him. “Well there’s this kid at the bakery I work at named Tommy and he’s a gremlin but I care for him and stuff. So toady was supposed to be a nice hangout but when I got there he was in a mood so I offered to let him talk it out with me. Dad he’s an orphan who lives with other orphans. When I offered for him to talk it out I didn’t think I was going to get his tragic backstory. His mom’s dead and the rest of his family thinks he died in the same accident that killed his mom. I’m sure if the person who found him didn’t he would actually be dead.” Techno said some emotion slipping into his voice “Oh Tech he’s doing alright now though right?” Phil asked “I’m not sure. He overworks himself though and  i’m not sure how much more of that his body can take.” he said concerned for his runts health. No not his runt just a kid he cares for fondly and in a brotherly like way.

 

“Wow that is a lot. How about I go with you tomorrow to the cafe and see what I can find out.?” Phil said Techno nodded his head before leaning against Phil’s side. “Are you tired Tech?” Phil asked another nod before Techno burrowed further into his side. Phil let out a sigh before making himself comfortable clearly Techno wasn’t going to let him leave. It was funny how Techno was the one who got clingy when he was tired.

 

Ranboo, Purpled, and Tubbo didn’t know what was going on with Tommy. He was very obviously going through it they just didn’t know how to help him.

*****

The morning rolled around and Tommy let out a groan as he got out of bed. Quickly eating breakfast and changing into his uniform. He made his way to the bakery and not even 15 minutes into his shift Techno arrived which was weird but even weirder was that he had a someone else with him.

 

“Hello welcome to the Sunshine Cafe. What can I get started for you today?” Tommy said putting on his customer service voice on in front of Techno since the first time he saw him. The change was slightly startling to the piglin hybrid based on the way his faced contorted into confusion at the sound of his voice. 

 

“I’ll get my usual and a vanilla latte for my dad.” Techno said “Ok your total will be $8.25.” Tommy said a smile in his face. Techno handed him the amount before going to sit at one of the counter seats. “I don’t know what you mean mate he seem perfectly fine to me.” Phil said “Just wait til he comes with our drinks.” Techno said with a small yet mischievous smile on his face.

 

“Ok london fog for Technoblade and a vanilla latte for an old man.” Tommy called out despite them being the only two there. Tommy went to hand Phil his drink when their hands touched just barely but enough for a shocked chirp to weasel its way out of Tommy’s mouth. Startled Tommy covered his mouth in panic but the damage was already done. Phil tilted his head before letting out a chirp of his own. 

 

Tommy let out a distressed trill of ‘not safe not supposed to know’ which Phil just let out a reassuring chirp and trill of ‘you’re safe’.  Phil saw Tommy’s eyes lose their edge and widen just ever so slightly “C’mon now it’s not safe for a chick to be by themselves huh.” Phil said Tommy rapidly shook his head “Hey Tech call Niki that we’re for safety reasons kidnapping her worker and have her tell Puffy as well.” Phil said.

 

*****

Tommy looked up at the other avian that just radiated home and warmth and let out a happy little chirp which was quickly returned. He was happy he had another avian to take care of him. Phil lead the way towards his car and Techno flipped the sign to closed before climbing the drivers seat and beginning the drive home.

 

*****

“XD I swear if this is some cruel trick there will not be a god of the universe for very much longer.” Kristin said “It’s not I promise. Once everything settles down you’ll be able to see them and they’ll be able to see you again. Gods honor.” XD said. A smile enough to make the god before her shiver slid onto her face “I will be holding you to that XD and will not hesitate to take your place goddess of death and the universe has a nice ring to it don’t you think?” she said XD took the safe route an nodded “Glade we had this talk.” she said before she heard her name. 

 

“Kristin come here come here!” Drista said excitedly pointing at what was going on in the mortal plane “Is that your son he could cause so much chaos and his friends.” Kristin laughed “Yeah that’s my boy and his friends.” she said a fond smile on her face much different than the one she wore just a second ago “Can I have them please!” Drista begged “No child not yet. Be patient and wait you’ll be able to interact with them soon enough.” Kristin said “Now would you like me to braid your hair?” she asked “Yes please!” Drista responded eagerly running off to get the stuff needed. “I’ll be with you all soon.” she said taking one last glance at the mortal plane before Drista sat down in front of her.

Phil looked down at the sleeping chick. (Was the term meant for young children? Yes. Did Phil care? Of course not.) This was the boy that Techno was always talking about. “Hey Toms, bud I need you to wake up for a little bit.” Phil said gently nudging the boys shoulder. He was met with a sleepy whine before Tommy’s eyes opened. “There’s my pretty little chick now are your wings bound down or hidden?” Phil asked him. Tommy shyly held up 2 fingers. “Oh well that just won’t do now will it. Can you let them out for me?” Phil said he they walked into the house letting his own wings out.

Phil smiled fondly at Tommy’s fascination with his wings. He wasn’t really shocked after all he was probably the first avian the kid had been with since he was a young child. He watched as Tommy pointed to his wings before tilting his head in confusion.

“Do you need help bringing your wings out?” Phil asked, a nod “You want me to help you?” another nod. “Ok so I want you to imagine that your wings are on your back.” Phil said. The face the kid made was adorable looking over he could see Techno smiling clearly trying to keep his instincts in check, Phil on the other hand had no such reserves and let out a free happy chirps and trills.

He also couldn’t keep the smile hidden when he saw his chicks wings. It was clear Techno couldn’t keep his instincts inside for long based on the chuffing sound he heard from his son. Looking over he saw Techno’s pupils slightly more dilated than normal. Looking back when he and Techno walked into the bakery his pupils dilated before going back to normal.

Phil watched on as his chick flapped his wings around and let out happy chirps and trills. Phil kept his eyes on him until the boys stomach growled. “Is my little chick hungry? Do you want some lunch?” Phil asked “Yes please.” Tommy said his voice quiet. Phil smiled it was the first time he heard Tommy talk since the cafe.
*****
“How are you feeling?” Phil asked him, Tommy thought for a moment before responding with a trill of ‘Hungry and tired’ he Phil nodded “Ok i’m going to go make lunch you can hang out with Techno if you want or watch TV although I think Techno is the better option.” Phil said before walking into the kitchen.

When Tommy looked over to Techno he could the man’s pupils were bigger than normal and let out a confused chirp. He watched as the piglin hybrid slowly turned towards him before reaching into his pocket to pull something out and handing it to him. Tommy looked down at the thing it was a golden bracelet he let out a happy chirp. The bracelet had charms that rattled and clinked as well as one that spun. Tommy sat down on the carpeted floor and continued to play with the bracelet. Techno smiled and let out a chuffing sound. Tommy tilted his head confused but decided that he would rather play with the bracelet. Whatever was going on wasn’t bad enough for their papa to come out of the kitchen.
*****
Phil walked into the living room with two plates of sandwiches and a plate of fruit for Tommy. Letting out a chirp and trill to get Tommy and Techno’s attention, he handed Techno a plate with a sandwich and Tommy the plate of fruit before sitting down on the couch keeping his eye on Tommy.

Looking down when he heard a rattling sound he saw the bracelet Tommy was playing with. “Hey Toms did Techno give you that bracelet?” Phil asked before laughing at how fast Tommy nodded the boy letting out a few chirps which Phil responded to. He felt a weight on the couch next to him and saw his chick leaning against him, Phil felt a small smile form.
*****
Techno was happy his sounder was all in one place. He watched as Tommy continued to play with the bracelet while leaning against Phil. He let out a happy chuff he had brought his runt home. Home with his dad who is able to handle children much better than him but would teach him how to take care of his runt.

The family stayed in the living room watching a documentary on raccoons and another one on polar bears before the sky began to darken. Techno watched as the runt slowly rubbed his eyes and started to yawn. He gently moved the runt over to his side so that he could stay warm. He gently ran his fingers through the runts golden hair.

He found himself reestablishing the job he held before the accident. He found himself falling into the role of protector and he knew is this moment he would protect his runt no matter what.
*****
Kristin looked over the scene in front of her. Her family practically whole. All she had to do now is wait just a little bit longer to be reunited if XD wasn’t lying to her. She didn't dare get her hopes up though XD had lied to her on several occasions that needed the utmost transparency.

She let her presence to be felt by everyone in the room and becoming visible to the youngest. Smiling when Tommy’s tired face perked up and he let out a chirp. A chirp that young avians made when they saw their mother. She saw Phil’s look of confusion knowing full well what that chirp was for. She wrapped her arms around her little family. Sitting on the floor she motioned her youngest over. He happily went over to her and sat down on her lap while she gently rocked him to sleep. She smiled as she took in the sight of her family all together at last. She could only wish that her entire family could see her. They would soon though she was getting tired of waiting.

Chapter 10: On Your Mark Get Set Go (to the kitchen)

Panic Attack
Posted 7/27/24

When Tommy woke up the memories from the day before seemed to have disappeared. He shrugged it off though it happened to him a little bit. He quickly took note that his wings were out and quickly hid them before he slightly started to panic over the possibility of them being seen by someone. “Tommy breathe for me I need you to breathe.” he heard a familiar voice say “Techno?” the boy asked “Yeah it’s me kid don’t worry we’re not going to hurt you.” Techno said.

Tommy looked up at him in confusion why would they hurt him? He saw another person enter the room, Phil his brained supplied so it seemed that not everything was forgotten from yesterday. “Hey Tommy i’m not sure if you remember me but my name’s Phil i’m Techno’s dad. If you wanted to stay here for a little bit you can and I would prefer seeing as how I highly doubt you remember anything from the past day though.” Phil said. Tommy couldn’t argue with that logic Phil had a point but that didn’t mean he couldn’t pout about it. Techno’s stomach suddenly rumbled “I don’t know about you guys but I want breakfast.
*****
When Techno said he wanted breakfast he did not expect a race to the kitchen between his dad and Tommy that got brought back to their house. Deciding to go and follow the two into the kitchen he heard an argument occurring in the kitchen.

“Ok not that I don’t find this funny but what are you two arguing about?” Techno asked the people in front of him “This old man is trying to fight me over who gets to cook breakfast.” the kid said “I just don’t think he should have to cook and besides Tommy is just a kid.” his dad said. Techno looked between the two of them before opening his mouth “Let the kid cook if he wants to.” Techno said before going to sit in the living room. But not before seeing the victorious grin on the kids face as he sidelined Phil in his own kitchen.
*****
The goddess of death smiled at her families antics.
*****
Ten minutes later found the entire Craft family sitting at the table while being served eggs, grits, sausage, and toast by Tommy. Techno looked over to his dad. Techno sent his father a slightly smug smile. He knew his dad saw him when he huffed out a sigh.

Once Tommy had sat down the family started eating and they were hooked after the first bite. “I told you I can cook.” Tommy said between his own bites. Techno nodded along “I didn’t doubt you Tommy.” he said before returning to his own food.

Tommy felt a smile grow on his face. This was his favorite part of any day. Making food and enjoying it with people he cared about. He started digging into his own food when the morning caught up to him he realized he never lost full days like he had and he started to choke and then started to panic.

He felt someone lightly hitting his back while he coughed and telling him to breathe. He stopped and then he twisted his body while taking the hand that was still resting on his back and flipped the arm before pinning it behind the person’s back.

He let his senses loose and heard Phil’s sharp intake of breath from the sudden attack as well as saw Techno’s calculated gaze. “Hey Tommy I need you to take a deep breath.” he heard Techno say, he shook his head. He couldn’t breathe.

He looked around everything was to much. It was to loud to bright he could feel everything. He curled up into a ball covering his ears and closing his eyes. He tucked his elbows inside his little ball and put his head inside the space created and rocked back and forth.
*****
Techno saw the moment went downhill for Tommy. The way his eyes unfocused before he choked and the moment he went into fight or flight. Unfortunately for his dad that Tommy's response was fight. Techno couldn’t help but feel bad for his dad the minute the Tommy had his arm pinned nor could he keep back the slight wince he gave he knew what it was like to be in that position during training.

He saw the slight pain in his father’s face. He had to get Tommy to let go before he did some more serious damage. He tried to get Tommy to take a deep breathe and that went about as well as he expected the next moment though something shifted. Tommy looked around and when Techno saw his eyes again he could see pain. He watched Tommy curl himself into a ball and started to rock.

He saw Phil open his mouth about to say something before Techno put a finger to his lip. Tommy was clearly overwhelmed and any sound would make it worse. Techno mouthed overwhelmed to his dad Phil nodded. Techno turned down all the lights in the house and grabbed a pair of noise canceling headphones from out of a drawer. Kneeling down next to Tommy he gently placed the headphones in a space inside the ball that was Tommy before he had them all leave the room.
*****
Kristin was watching her family like she always did which was much easier when they were all in the same house. But watching her youngest get overwhelmed was something she wished she wouldn’t have to see again. He hadn’t gotten overwhelmed to this extent in years and yet here her baby was curled up into a ball tears streaming down his face as I silently cried.

It was in this moment where her baby was so vulnerable she said fuck it to all of XD’s rules and let herself be seen fully. She didn’t give a fuck about the rest of her family seeing her she needed to help her baby and the only way to do that was for her to be able to truly interact with her son.

“Tommy can you look at me?” she asked keeping her voice quiet just barely loud enough for her to hear knowing it would only be a tad louder to Tommy. He shook his head and more his tears fell faster “Hey it’s ok Tommy. If you can’t you can’t. Can you try and take a deep breathe?” she asked. She watched as Tommy finally managed to get adequate air into his lungs and with careful prompting his breathing returned to normal and he looked up.

Kristin smiled gently at her youngest. She opened her arms for a hug and felt him barrel into them. She gently stroked his hair as he cried a little. “Hello Tommy.” she said “Hi mum. I’ve missed you.” he said “Oh i’ve missed you too dear. I can only stay for a little bit though and you can’t tell anyone about this.” she said. Tommy nodded.

They spent 5 minutes just hugging each other before she got up “I have to go now Tommy. But I love you and I hope you’ll say yes when he asks.” she said before disappearing.

When she arrived at her castle she knew she would have to face XD but she would not regret going to help her youngest. Besides XD couldn’t do much if he wanted to keep Drista from causing to much chaos. Afterall he certainly knew he couldn’t do it by himself, it’s a shame it took an entire planet for him to realize that.

But now was not the time she made her way back into her first home completely ignoring XD before going into her room and laying down she needed a nap.

Tommy sat in the dining room a little bit longer to calm down and come up with something. He didn’t want his mum to be mad at him although he didn’t think she could be he knew better than to tempt fate. After all it was never in his favor his life being the prime example although it seemed to be turning around.

He took a breathe to fully calm himself down before he walked out to the living room looking around he saw no one in the room so he sat down and turned on the TV. He knew someone would hear it eventually. The news was on and Tommy didn’t pay it much attention until the new reporter said something about vigilantes now that got his attention.
“Logstedshire’s favorite vigilante Phoenix has not been spotted in several days while it’s not uncommon for the vigilante to take breaks he’s been gone for nearly a week and the people are worried. What has happened to the vigilante? Is he dead? Did he retire? We don’t know but want to. Now a message to Phoenix from the people of Logstedshire.” the reporter said. Tommy knew he should've changed the channel he knew but he didn’t. “Phoenix we miss you!” “Please let us know if you’re alright!” Tommy felt his eyes tear up a little those were his people “Please be ok Phoenix the heroes-” he thought the messages were over seeing as he could hear the overlapping voices but the single young child's voice had his head shooting up. Looking at the screen he could see the terrified eyes of the child. What were the heroes doing? To his people the people he protected with his life.

The broadcast made his decision easy tonight he was going out. His people needed him just as much as he needed them.
*****
Phil was watching from the staircase the minute he heard the TV turn on. He didn’t care for the news he was watching Tommy to make sure he was ok. He saw the way the boy went from not pay attention to having his full focus on the screen the minute Phoenix was mentioned Phil made a mental note to ask the boy about later.

He also saw the boy wipe something from his eyes after hearing the people of Logstedshire’s messages he took a guess and assumed they were tears. He too could feel his eyes get a little misty the people cared for their vigilante it was funny how much Tommy’s wings looked like Phoenix’s. He heard the message from the child and he felt something in him snap a bit. He knew the heroes didn’t care for Logstedshire so that meant they were probably slowly tearing it down like they had to a district about 20 years ago. If only the Syndicate was well established at the time then the heroes would’ve had a much harder time.

Deciding he had done enough observing he went down the stairs and sat down next to Tommy, “Anything interesting on the news mate” he asked the boy “Yeah so apparently Phoenix has been gone for a week which is really worrying seeing as Logstedshire is only protected by vigilantes and the fact that their main protector is gone is very bad. I mean yeah they’re are others but Phoenix is one of the most active along with Purpled. I mean Purpled is doing something or else he would have a news report too.” Tommy said taking a deep breathe after finishing his rant.

“Wow I did not know that you from a nearby district?” Phil asked Tommy shook his head “Phil the job at the cafe is not only a choice but the closest job. I live there.” Tommy said Phil felt his face shift into one of shock “Well you don’t live there anymore you’re safe here although I don’t really think you need protection.” Phil said letting out a light laugh at the memory from earlier although he didn’t like seeing Tommy like that the kid had amazing form and execution.
*****
Kristin smiled at her family before she felt another divine presence. “XD what a pleasure to see you.” she said her voice dripping in enough sarcasm that even the most oblivious would be able to tell after all no one else would disturb her. “Mrs. Death I need to speak with you.” Kristin turned around no one called her Mrs. Death at least not those who she interacted with at least once looking up she saw Puffy goddess of kindness.

“Well hello Puffy I have told you just call call Kristin what can I help you with?” she said “I’m worried about my son Foolish for some reason he’s changed and I don’t know what to do. His friends are at a cross-road and I don’t know what they’ll choose.” Puffy said he motherly worry slipping into her voice, “Oh Puffy his friends will make the right choice for themselves. Sometimes people must part ways but you should talk to XD about this not me.” she said “Oh i’m sorry I wasn’t interrupting anything was I?” Puffy asked “Oh nothing really I was just checking up on my family.” Kristin with a smile “Oh ok i’ll ask XD and then see if I can pull the older hero card if I need to.” Puffy said leaving with a wave that Kristin returned.

“Ok now Drista come on out you know better than to eavesdrop.” Kristin said looking at the little nook by the door. “Sorry mom.” Drista said Kristin eyes widened and Drista blushed what she said processing “Prime I meant Kristin, not mom, Kristin truly sorry.” Drista said “Oh Drista if you view me as a mother figure I have no problem with that I would be lying if I said I didn’t think of you like my daughter.” she said arms opened for a hug. Drista ran into them much like Tommy did and she gently scratched at the girls head feeling her relax.

When XD came to talk to talk to the goddess about why there was nothing amiss and Drista not in her usual spots causing chaos he saw the two asleep on the couch some random show playing in the background. If he summoned an extra blanket for them that was no one’s business.

Ranboo and Tubbo were struggling to contain Purpled which the fact that they were able to contain him at all was a miracle. Although they could feel their defense weakening after all Purpled was a vigilante full time and they were just the people in their ear. They struggled to contain Purpled until he calmed down enough to have a conversation with. “Ok now I know we’re all worried about Tommy but going at each other is not going to help anything.” Ranboo said “Yeah well neither is sitting here doing nothing but here we are.” Purpled said voice uneven from both anger and worry.

“Why don’t we just call Niki?” Tubbo asked, Purpled and Ranboo both looked at Tubbo then each other again. It was the most obvious answer in the world, why not call the person who probably had the last interaction with Tommy.

Purpled quickly grabbed his phone and dialed Niki’s number as fast as he could they sat in tense silence while the phone started ringing on the 2nd ring they heard the connected sound. “Hello this is Niki speaking how may I help you?” they heard her say “Hey Niki it’s Purpled I was wondering if you knew where my feral friend could be?” Purpled asked “Oh Tommy he’s with some of my friends right now he got sick during his shift and they didn’t know where you all live so they took him home.” Niki said.

Purpled narrowed his eyes that was a lie at least the getting sick part he knew how to tell someone was lying it was a useful skill Sam taught both him and Tommy. “Niki because you are a dear friend i’m going to ask you and I want a truthful answer. What. Happened. To. Tommy.” he said putting his anger into his voice. He clearly did a good job seeing as both his friends backed up.
*****
Niki was panicking when she got a call she hadn’t expected it to be Purpled and she most definitely did not expect to be practically threatened by someone younger than and feeling the threat. She did what any reasonable person would do and texted her villain boss.
Nemesis: Hey Angel I wondering if you were threatened by a teenager over the friend that your boss of your less than legal activities had how would you respond?
Angel of Death: You’re being what?!?!
Nemesis: Well Tommy has some protective friends and i’m currently on the phone being threatened by one of them.
Angel of Death: Did you tell them he was sick and we took him with us.
Nemesis: Yes kid sniffed out the sick part like a hound.
Angel of Death: Just tell them he’s staying with your friends because an issue came up.
Nemesis: Ok got it.

“Well there may or not being an issue right now so Tommy is going to be over at my friends for a bit.” Niki said it was silent on the line for a minute before Purped spoke again “Well thank you for telling the truth Niki but just know if a single hair is hurt on Tommy’s head I tend to be on the darker gray side of the law and murder and torture are not something i’m unwilling to do. Got it?” the teen said. Niki felt herself pale “Loud and clear Purpled.” she said all she got was a hum in response before the line disconnected.
Nemesis: Next phone call from them i’m sending to you
*****
Phil was shocked to say the least it took a lot to cause Niki to panic there was a reason she was sent on the missions that required silence and a clear head. But for a teen to scare her that was unheard of. “Hey Tommy?” he said look over at the teen “Yeah Phil?” “Which of your friends is most likely to threaten someone?” he asked “Oh well that depends on who they’re threatening and why. Like if someone is being to loud Tubbo will threaten them while being louder to establish dominance, or Ranboo when someone is just being a prick for no reason he’s very subtle about it so that he can’t get in legal trouble for it and then Purpled if something where to happen to me. Purpled will and has caused severe injury protecting me back when we’re younger. I mean he probably would now. I threaten for all the previous reasons to include anyone being rude to any of my friends and depending on the situation depends on how I threaten them, I typically take the Tubbo approach though. Why?” Tommy said “Oh well apparently you friends don’t know where you are and called and threatened Niki.” Phil said thinking of how the sweet chick in front of him could be a menace to society.

It wasn’t super hard to believe though as he thought about how Techno was around Tommy’s age a shudder ran through his body so maybe Tommy threatening people wasn’t the worse thing. Techno had already had the voices calling for blood and learning manipulation tactics and using his family as a guinea pig.

“Ok thank you Tommy your friends must really care about you.” Phil said “Yeah, they do also could I borrow a phone charger my phone’s dead. Honestly i’m shocked they haven’t called anyone looking for me.” Tommy said Phil froze before handing Tommy a charger “Yeah it’s strange isn’t it.” he said with a small nervous laugh.
*****
Kristin and Drista sat in Kristin’s living room watching the scene before them laughing. “You’re families weird.” Drista said “Like you’re so much better.” Kristin said Drista stuck her tongue out. Kristin laughed “Oh I can’t wait to see them all again. Who knows maybe you’ll be able to meet them.” Kristin said with a small smile that grew when she heard the excited sounds Drista was making. Kristin felt her smile grow impossibly wider at the thought of everyone she cared about meeting and getting along.

She would have to make sure that Tommy stayed in one piece though she had seen what Purpled had done to those who hurt his brother. It was not pretty at all in some cases he has done more than just injure. Not that the person didn’t deserve he had tried to seriously injure and possibly kill her baby back when he first started out. It was so very obvious that he was still child and that day Purpled had his first kill that he knew of. The man didn’t stand a chance and he wasn’t exactly having the best time in the afterlife. Speaking of she needed to change things up for him soon. You can only get so much entertainment from watching the same thing over and over again.

“Hey Drista you want to choose the punishment for this person who was going to hurt and maybe kill a child?” she asked the young goddess if the smile on her face was anything to go by then the answer was yes.

When Tommy powered his phone back he let the constant ding of new notifications go on for about 3 seconds before he muted his phone. After he waited for about 10 minutes he turned looked down at his phone and saw 3 days worth of notifications. At the top was his friends various messages of where are you, are you oks. Tommy debated on who to text before settling on messaging Purpled

Tommy: Sorry my phone died. Don't worry i’m safe and ok.
Purpled: How was your phone dead for 3 days!?! You don’t let it go past 30%.
Tommy: Don’t worry about it. I may have ran into a few slight issues but i’m good now.
Purpled: You know what, I can’t with you.
Tommy: I know you love me.
Purpled: Unfortunately, stay safe.
Tommy: I will, see you soon.

Tommy set his phone down and decided he was hungry so he went to the kitchen to get a snack. He was rummaging through the cupboards when he heard someone else enter the kitchen. Looking behind him he saw Techno standing in the doorway “Are you hungry runt?” he asked Tommy nodded before the pet name registered. “Fuck you I am not a runt, i’m a big man.” Tommy said puffing his cheeks out “Well right now you’re pouting like a child.” Techno said. Tommy let out a huff before moving to the cough to get out of Techno’s way so he could make them both a snack..
******
Techno wanted to slam his head on the counter. He did not just call his runt a runt to his face. That name was never meant to leave his thoughts, except for maybe when he had to deal with baby bird brain then he might have called him runt out loud. But while he was his normal teenage self never. This was it Techno was going to die by embarrassment.

The only thing that kept him from waiting for the earth to swallow him was the fact that his runt was hungry and he was suppose to make him food. So he went about making some sandwiches. When the sandwiches were done he took a deep breathe and walked out into the living room placing Tommy’s sandwich in front of the boy. He got a mumbled thanks before they both started eating.
*****
Tubbo was busy very busy. What was he busy with you ask? Tracking his best friends phone signal. Once Purpled had told him that he managed to get a text through Tubbo had started to track the signal which was hard seeing as they made sure it would be hard to track any of their phones. It had seemed like a good idea and he wasn’t really regretting it he was just getting frustrated. It took him two days to finally manage to track Tommy’s phone, two days of no sleep which he was sure he would get hounded about later.

Once he was sure he had the signal he ran into the living room “Guys I have it, we can go get Tommy.” he said excitement in his voice. That was enough for all of them to quickly put on their shoes but right before they walked out the door they stopped. “Hey why are we all leaving?” Ranboo asked “I don’t know but I have an idea for a new project so i’m going to start that.” Tubbo said going to sit at his setup. Both of them missed the look on Purpled’s face.
*****
Purpled knew they were leaving for something important. He also knew trying to remember what would hurt like a bitch. This wasn’t the first time this had happened to him. In fact he was in a similar position recently and a few years before that. He knew it was the work of a divine being which one he could not say for he did not know. All he knew was that it would hopefully resolve itself soon.
*****

Kristin glared at XD. “What you said you wanted to keep your family together this is me keeping your family together.” the god said “Those boys are also Tommy’s family XD there is a way for all of them to coexist I know there is. You do not want to make me have to choose which family for my son to keep XD or I swear I will tear everything you love apart piece by fucking piece and make you watch until there’s two left and make you choose so you can feel helpless in a lose lose situation. Do you want that XD?” Kristin asked her eyes flashing a dangerous purple while darkness slowly creeped in on the two.

“Kristin you have to understand that running the entire universe is a very difficult thing as wells as making sure timelines stay straight. This earth has a set way it must proceed.” XD said trying to reason with the deadly force in front of him “XD you’re forgetting I also watch the timelines and you have completely and utterly redone this one over and over again because things haven’t gone your way. You are like a toddler throwing a tantrum. I’m sure Drista could do a better job then you. Timelines will be apart of her as well soon enough and you will lose even more control.” Lady Death said.

She slowly approached the god “I want them to coexist because that was the original plan for this timeline got it.” she said, XD gave a shaky nod and was spared from possible physical harm when Drista walked in.

“Mom I want to go see Tommy.” Drista whined “I know dear but you can’t yet. Maybe soon if your brother can get his act together.” Kristin said eyes flashing briefly before returning to normal. She didn’t need to frighten Drista or give the young goddess any ideas after all young ones were quite impressionable. It took some time for Kristin to calm Drista down enough to get her settled.

It was times like these she was glad she had three kids it made her an expert at blanket burritos like the one Drista was in currently. She took a photo before putting on Up by request which she totally didn’t tear up about at all.

Notes:

So I have officially moved into my college dorm and a new chapter of my life has just opened.

Chapter 14: Family bonding baby bord brain pt 2 and a question

Summary:

Phil tries to enjoy the quiet and then remembers it's not suppose to be quiet, Tommy reunites with someone and a new character

Notes:

CW

As always let me know if I need to add any
Posted 9/6/25

Phil was concerned. His house was quiet and with two sons in it the quiet was terrifying. He was afraid to leave his office but he had to make sure none of them had died or were being tortured. He trusted Techno not to seriously damage anything normally but with Tommy now in the mix he had no idea how it would all play out.

He opened his office door and slowly made his way down the stairs. Peeking around the corner revealed the living room to be empty and once he was all the way down he saw the kitchen and dining room where empty as well.

He had no where else to look but the backyard. Although the chances of them being out there were very low. He’s had to threaten to remove Techno from heists if he didn’t go outside for at least 20 minutes. he missed quite a few heists. But still he had to check so he walked towards the back door and opened it.

He was greeted to the sight of Tommy trying to teach Techno how to do a cartwheel and Techno and was failing miserably. “It’s not that hard.” he heard Tommy say as he proceeded to do a cartwheel back handspring. “Well i’m sorry i’m not flexible.” he heard Techno say “If I can do it you can too.” Phil couldn’t help the smile that crept on his face.

“I see you finally decided to go outside.” Phil said which shocked both of them from what they were doing. A chorus of hey dad came from where they were standing. Time in that moment seemed to freeze. No way he had just heard both of them call him dad. He felt tears run down his cheeks and quickly turned away to wipe them.
*****
Purpled was laying down about to take a nap when he remembered what they were all suppose to go out for. They were suppose to get Tommy. When none of the others went to run to the door he did so himself and went to go find his brother.

The location of his last phone ping was in a nice neighborhood but he didn’t let himself get distracted by that. He was here to get his brother. Checking the ping Tommy’s phone was sending to his he walked up to one of the houses and backed on the door.

He was not expecting to be met with a man who appeared to be in his early thirties open the door. “Hello mate what can I help you with?” the man asked Purpled cleared his throat “Hi yes i’m looking a for Tommy.” he said “Oh are you one of his friends?” the man asked “Oh yeah i’m Purpled.” “Phil nice to meet you mate. Tommy’s out back right now teaching my son how to do a cartwheel.” Phil said “Oh I feel bad for him. I’ve been through Tommy’s tumbling crash course and let me just say I felt like I was dying.” he said.

 

He followed Phil into the backyard where he saw Tommy still trying to teach the other person how to do a cartwheel. “Hey Toms i’m here.” he called out and watched as his brother’s head turned his way “You finally came.” his brother said “I missed you.” Tommy whispered “Oh I missed you too bubs.” Purpled whispered back. The moment was shattered by someone clearing their throat.
*****
Techno was never good with emotions that was a fact. Just like how the sky was blue and Phil had wings. He just struggled with them. Now his instincts were another thing. He understood those knew how they were they way they were and all of that. Which is why when his instincts got protective over his runt despite the clearly emotional moment he let them win. So he cleared his throat and looked over at the other kid who was hugging his runt. “So who are you?” Techno asked his voice it’s usual monotone as he looked the kid up and down “I’m Purpled Tommy’s best friend.” the kid said “I’m Technoblade Phil’s son.” Techno said once again making eye contact with the kid.

He was slightly shocked when the kid just matched his stare and their contest was broken up by Tommy clapping his hands. “Well this is clearly a moment but i’m hungry. Trying to teach you how to do a cartwheel is hard on a man’s stomach.” Tommy said. As if summoned by those words Phil walked over to the group “How does grilled cheese sound?” the man asked Tommy and with an excited nod from the youngest Phil got to work.

While they waited for Phil to make the food because it couldn’t just be grilled cheese no, they needed some fruits and vegetables as well. So lunch was gonna be a minute. But that didn’t matter because Tommy was curled into his side on the couch where he belonged. Now see typically Technoblade wasn’t childish but just this once he decided he would be and stuck his tongue out at the moping kid across from him who gave him the bird in retaliation.
*****
Kristin was glad to see her son’s family slowly coming together again. It meant that XD had heeded her threat. It was good to know he still had some brain cells. She was starting to worry that gods could lose them. But that didn’t matter she was slowly getting what she wanted. She wasn’t one of the most powerful beings for no reason and XD seemed to have forgotten that but no matter. They had a nice discussion about it and she was going to get a complete family.

She was enjoying a stroll in her garden occasionally checking on the progress the first member of her son’s found family and his biological family when she felt a slight disturbance in the air around her. “Now Drista come on out. You know you can’t sneak up on a me, I have a couple billion years on you.” the goddess of death said “You can’t blame me for trying.” a voice that was not Drista’s said.

Notes:

Chapter 15: Adoption is better with Friends

Summary:

Is this adoption and character development as well as a new character I smell.

Notes:

Listen I wrote most of this at 11 at night because boredom and excess creative juices.

let me know if I need to add

Tommy rubbed his eyes and blinked a few times. No way this was real. An adult was willing going to take him in legally. It was a foreign concept to him. Sure Sam had taken care of him but he never adopted him seeing as technically in the eyes of the government they didn’t exist. They only got documents once they met Tubbo and even those were forged.

“Hey Phil I don’t know how to tell you this but according to the government i’m 18 and that’s a whole ass adult.” Tommy said choking up “You know how easy it is to pull the Logstedshire card? Almost every kid their is non-existent to them. We can say you were kidnapped or something.” Techno said “But what about my friends? I can’t leave them in that dump we call an apartment” Tommy said “Well dad turns out you’re getting more kids.” Wilbur said before leaving the room.
*****
Phil had a feeling he was going to regret asking but he needed to know “How many people do you live with and how old are they?” he asked “Well i’m the youngest at 16 then it’s Purpled who is a few months older than me then Ranboo who’s 17 and Tubbo who’s also 17.” Tommy said.

“Ok you and Purpled go pick your rooms and also I need the address of your apartment so that I can go pick up the others.” Phil said. Looking over he saw matching looks of shock on both Tommy and Purpled. “Wait so you’re actually going to adopt the rest of us?” Purpled asked voice shaking “Of course mate who would I be to let a bunch of children stay at a rundown apartment in Logstedshire if I could do anything about it?” Phil said. He was thankful for his fast reflexes as two children came barreling into his arms.
*****
Ranboo was just trying to enjoy the quiet since Tubbo was still asleep when someone knocked on the door. He quickly looked over and let to a silent breathe of relief when he saw Tubbo was still sleeping. He made his way over to the door quietly opened it and stepped outside. “Listen I don’t know who you are or what you want but if you wake up my roommate then there will be serious consequences so stay quiet and tell me what you want.” Ranboo said although when he looked up he looked the two men in front of him up and down.

“Ok we talked about this I don’t do this kind of work anymore so you’re gonna need to find someone else.” he said taking a step towards his door “Oh no Ranboo we don’t need you for a job it’s just that well we have two kids Tommy and Purpled and well our dad offered Tommy something and the only condition Tommy had was that you and Tubbo had to come so. How would you like to be adopted by Philza Craft?” Wilbur said. Ranboo looked between the two and waited for them to say they were kidding but none came. “Wait so Tommy was offered to be adopted but he said no unless Tubbo and I agreed?” Ranboo asked “Yeah pretty much.” Wilbur replied.

Ranboo nodded before entering the apartment and throwing a pillow at Tubbo. It had the desired affect of walking Tubbo up and before he could be attacked Ranboo relayed what Wilbur told him. So now Ranboo had gone from dealing with a murderous Tubbo to a Tubbo who was balling his eyes out.
*****
When they were tasked with retrieving the other two kids Techno did not know that included dealing with an emotional goat hybrid. So he did the responsible thing and let his brother deal with it. Besides he enjoyed spending time with Ranboo and well they never had the chance to hang out outside of the jobs the enderman hybrid would do.

“So how have you been?” Techno asked the boy “I’ve been surviving you know how it is over here. You’re either surviving or not.” Ranboo said. “Well you won’t have to just survive ever again. All of you are going to be taken care of and loved to the point you’ll find it sappy and annoying. But just let me know if it gets to be to much and i’ll have them back off.” Techno said getting a hum of acknowledgment from Ranboo.
*****
Kristin felt a smile grow on her face. Both of her son’s families were going to be together and it was only a matter of time before she joined them. Because she would be joining them and she wasn’t going to take no for an answer. She was a typically violent person but XD was pushing it most of the time these days. But she wouldn’t let herself dwell on that for long she was expecting a visitor and she wasn’t going to spoil what was going to be a good time with her mood.

She didn’t have to wait very long for her guest to arrive. She felt the disturbance of the air around her as well as the charms she had placed around her castle letting her know someone had just entered her home and who it was.

“Oh hello Eret dear it’s been ages since we’ve last talked.” Kristin said looking turning to face her guest “Oh it’s only been a coupled hundred years.” Eret said “Yes but since you’ve decided to spend most of your time on the mortal plane helping the vigilantes we’ve never had the time to sit down and talk.” Kristin said “Speaking of vigilantes how’s your son doing? I don’t think we patrol at the same time nor area so I haven’t seen him.’’ Eret said “Oh he’s doing good but recently he managed to find his way back home although he doesn’t know it yet. I mean neither does my husband so I guess it makes sense.” she said “But XD was trying to mess it all up and you know i’m not typically a violent person but sometimes I just want to you know.” “Oh I understand completely. Sometimes dad will do something and I just want to shoot a fireball at him.” Eret said. “Oh speaking of how is my father?” Eret asked “He’s doing quite well I think he was trying to shape another legend around him last I heard. Herobrine returns or something like that.” Kristin said “Of course he is. He couldn’t go a few decades without another one.” Eret said.

“But a little birdy told me about more than one family.” Eret said with a knowing grin on their face “Of course she did. Tommy had grown up in Logstedshire with one of his friends and Sam was watching over them. But then he met the other two and the four of them have been living together for the past 4 years at least.” Kristin said “Oh well i’m glad Tommy has a support network. Knowing what the poor boys been through it’s good for him.” Eret said.

Notes:

We get Eret content. YAY! Also i'm terrified for all the post Twitchcon streams. Like come on people our streamers are real people. Also the amount of shade being thrown is deserved. Twitch I need you to do better. But we're not here for that we're here because the boys are getting adopted. I hope this cleared up any confusion about who has legal guardianship over the boys. Ranboo helping the Syndicate with jobs before meeting Tommy and Purpled so him and Tubbo could survive. This arc is coming to a close and then serious stuff is gonna happen.

Chapter 16: The Backstory of a Goddess

Summary:

Kristin's backstory because somethings deserve to be known.

Notes:

Here have your chapter
TW
-None

Kristin was sitting on her balcony when she thought back to her past and how much of her life was something she had not chosen. She thought of how someone had messed with who she was meant to go with. She had chose fate as her house but it was interfered with and she was put with death. She closed her eyes and let her memories flow.
*****
Kristin was excited to say the least. Today was the day all the young gods and goddess to be were going to choose which house they were going to be under. Some wanted major houses like life, death, the nether, and fate while others wanted smaller ones such as water, animals, and plants. Kristin wanted a major house, She wanted the house of fate. Now fate didn’t affect them seeing as they weren’t in her grasps yet so the choices they made were entirely on them.

Kristin stood before the box and put her paper in and closed her eyes as she was transported to her house. When the sensation of moving stopped she opened her eyes to find herself in a dark throne room. Looking around she shivered slightly it was cold.

Looking up she saw two figures sitting on thrones and immediately bowed her head out of respect. “Oh look darling we’ve been given one of the children isn’t that wonderful. Death hasn’t seen a new member in ages.” one of the people said “You’re right we haven’t simply because I don’t want to have to deal with teaching another person. Not to mention we couldn’t get a boy.” the other one said.

“Ignore my husband he’s been in a bad mood for the past few days. My name is Sandra and my husband is Wilson. What’s your?” Sandra asked “My name’s Kristin ma’am.” she said still keeping her head down. “Oh go on ahead and lift your head Kristin we’re all family here now.” Sandra said while Wilson scoffed.

Kristin had been with the house of death for nearly 10,000 years and her 16,000 birthday was soon approaching. Over the years she was taught several things that applied to the members of her house. She had to have at least a small braid on the right side of her hair to represent her family. She had to learn how to walk gracefully yet still display power and strike fear if need be. She was taught how to sit, eat, an entire language and when to go reap souls and bring them to their resting place.

But with her nearing 16 she also was expected to attend more council meetings and participate in them as well as find someone to marry. It was in one such meeting when one of the gods turned his attention on the house of death and would regret it.

“Why has their been a sudden influx of souls being reaped. I mean it happens but not of this magnitude before it nearly quadrupled overnight.” one of the gods said looking over towards Kristin seeing as her family wasn’t able to come “Because there were more sick people overnight.” she said tone polite “But did all of them need to be reaped?” the god asked a condescending tone in his voice “Why yes they did. Do you know what happens to a human when they die but they’re soul isn’t reaped. Well for those of you who don’t they essentially become zombies. The brain is dead but the soul is still there except the person has no control. So the soul suffers a great deal and if we wait to long the entire soul disappears except the body remains animated and let me say it took a some time to figure out how to kill a zombie. But if you want answers ask sickness seeing as it’s them whose causing this or ask fate herself. But you will not come for my houses honor because death has not wronged you.” Kristin said her voice tone getting slightly sharper as she continued. Death was not known for being kind to those who didn’t deserve it after all.

A collective gasp was heard as she said fates name seeing as no one addressed her in these meetings. She was always there to observe. Several opened their mouths to think when fate spoke “The child has the right idea. I mean why should any of you blame those who are just doing their job like death is. Why not think of asking me or sickness maybe something is happening that this is necessary or maybe someone was bored.” Fate said shooting sickness a pointed look “Ok some I may or may not have created a new illness because I was bored and didn’t think of how fragile humans are.” he said “You’ve started a worldwide epidemic.” Kristin said while sickness shrugged his shoulders.

It was a few years later when Sandra broke the news to her. She would have to be married before she turned 18 and then she would take over for the house of death seeing as both of the current rulers would be considered ancient.

So Kristin went off into the mortal plane to fine herself a husband. Wilson wanted her to marry an immortal preferably a god for no reason other than stupid customs. Well she was going to marry an immortal just one she made.

She spent the next few thousand years among the mortals trying to find the perfect husband. It was the year she turned 18 when she finally found the one. He was no one particularly eye catching on the outside but his soul was pure. So she went and asked for his name.

Over the course of the year her and Phil talked and laughed and joked. Her birthday deadline shoved to the depths of her mind. But when she looked at a calendar and saw she was a mere month away she knew she needed to ask. Later that day she explained everything to her lover. He was shocked to find out the woman he loved was a goddess not to mention the goddess of a major house. She was worried he would deny becoming an angel but when he accepted he brought him with her to meet the rest of her house.

She introduced Phil to her sort of parents and to the some of the souls and gave him a tour of the place before double checking that he was ready. After receiving confirmation she let the spell fall over her love.

The day of her 18 birthday the wedding was held. Over the years they both led countless souls and even saved a few children. Then she met two brothers who she took under her wing and helped while they were on the street before bringing them home for good. A few years later she gave birth to a little baby boy and on that day she swore to rain hellfire upon anyone who tried to hurt her family.
*****
Kristin opened her eyes with a sadistic smile. It seemed she had a promise to keep and a certain god to visit.

Chapter 17: It is Time

Summary:

It's adoption time or is it.....

Notes:

TW
-Car crash

When Tommy heard the front door open he rushed out of the living room excited. He was finally going to see his friends after weeks. But the quiet that followed the door opening was suspicious. He thought at least Ranboo would have enough self-preservation to not go with the two strange men who said they were going to take them to Tommy. Of course these were also his friends and it’s not like they were helpless so he had very little faith but still some faith.

Said faith significantly decreased when he saw his friends just standing there awkwardly. “Are you two crazy! How could you have possibly known that they actually had me and weren’t just kidnappers. Honestly where is your self-preservation.” he said “Well I uh used to go the library and I would be there for when he would read stories.” Ranboo said. “Ok that checks out what about you Tubbo?” Tommy asked looking over at him “I trust Ranboo’s judgment.” he said.

“Ok that’s understandable. But what lead you to believe that they had me. You know this guy from reading books to kids how do you know he’s not a kidnapper or something. People change Ranboo.” Tommy said “Yeah but I kept in semi contact with him so I knew he wasn’t going to like kill us or something like that.” Ranboo said. Tommy sighed “I just want you all to be safe. I couldn’t stand losing my family again.” Tommy said.
*****
Techno watched as Tommy lectured his friends and was trying to keep the smile off his face. It was nice to see his little brother be reunited with his friends. Although he felt bad that he left Ranboo to come up with a cover story. But the last thing Tommy said reminded Techno so much of the reason he vowed to take care of the boy.

The moment was slightly ruined by Wilbur clearing his throat. “Not trying to ruin the moment or anything but dad looks like he’s about to burst if he doesn’t get to see the children so.” his brother said causing everyone to look over at his father who looked less like a human and more like a bird.

“Oh yeah everyone this is my dad. His name is Phil and well he want to adopts all of us.” Tommy said still oblivious to calling Phil dad. It seemed he was the only one who wasn’t aware of it though if the way his friends looked at him.
*****
Tommy sat and watched with a smile on his face as his friends introduced themselves to Phil. He had to hold back a laugh as Phil immediately scooped the two of them up and started mumbling about them being to skinny. He remembered when that was him and now his friends got to feel what it is like to be loved by an adult. Because Phil loved him and he loved his friends.

“Hey Phil I know you’re going to want to coddle them to hell and back but they’re not use to this much affection from an adult.” Tommy said nearly laughing as his friends gave him relieved looks. “Why don’t you go get some more adoption papers Wil.” Tommy heard Phil say passing Wilbur his keys.
*****
Wilbur wanted to get his errand done and over with quickly. He wanted to be able to talk to the new children his dad acquired. It’s not like you gain four new siblings everyday. This was going to be a big change and would take some getting use to but he would adjust. He was a very adaptable person he had to be due to his line of work.

So now he had to go to city hall and get some adoption forms to start the incredibly long process of making these boys who stumbled into his life by chance his family. He would also need to stop by Sam’s house and see if his soon to be brothers deleted themselves or just made it look they died.

Coming to a stop at a red light he thought about all of the things that would be needed to make the boys feel at home and if Tommy and Purpled left anything at the apartment. Seeing the light turn green he made his pressed on the gas when he felt a sudden impact on his side. He took a deep breathe and was about to unbuckle when he felt another impact from behind and then the car started to roll.

At that point Wilbur closed his eyes. He just wanted it to stop. But then he heard the tell tale sound of glass exploding. This couldn’t be happening he was going to have a big happy family. He didn’t want to lose that. He felt tears rolling down his face and his breathing speed up.

He opened his eyes in an unfamiliar place. It looked like the flower meadow him and his mom would go to but not. It seemed muted in a way. Looking around he spotted a castle and a castle meant someone could tell him where he was. So he began the short walk up to the castle.

Walking in he heard someone humming a familiar song. One he remembers hearing when he was younger. Only one person he has ever met even know the song. So he walked further in the house and was met with someone he never thought he would see again. “Mom?” he said shock clear in his voice.
*****
Kristin was doing some light cleaning around the castle because she wasn’t going to leave the place she lives in look like it wasn’t taken care of. She felt herself humming a song she used to hum to her boys when she wanted to.

She felt someone enter through her wards but thought nothing of it. They had no intention of harming her or they wouldn’t have been able to enter her castle. She thought nothing of it and continued her cleaning until she heard something that made her freeze and turn around. It was much to soon but there in front of her was her one of her boys.

Chapter 18: Does he live?

Summary:

Is Wilbur going to live? How is everyone doing? Well let's find out.

Notes:

Here we go with the update everyone has been waiting for. Now i'm quite proud of this chapter if I do say so myself.
TW
-Death
-Panic Attacks
Let know if I need to add anymore

Now Kristin was pissed. Her son was here in her realm long before he should be. Although she was quite proud of herself for having enough foresight to have her boys immediately spawn in her flower meadow. But now she had a son to calm down. Looking back it might not have been the best idea to hide being a goddess from her sons but it was to late for that.

She watched as Wilbur opened and closed his mouth like a fish. If it wasn’t due to the circumstances she would probably laugh. But she knew exactly why her son was like that. When you’re surrounded by other gods and goddess you all tend to pick up some hobbies. Hers happened to have been sewing. So now everyone had a variety of outfits she made. Right now she was wearing one of her more fancy dresses due to the fact that she had just came back from one of the meetings.

“Wilbur darling it’s just me.” she said “How do I know it’s actually you.” her son replied “When you were younger you and Tommy would go and pick a bunch of yellow flowers to make flower crowns for Techno.” she said. “What am I doing here?” Wilbur asked voice soft “Well my little musician you’re dead.” she said not one to sugarcoat certain things.

“Wh-How can I be dead?” Wilbur asked “Last thing I remember I got in a wreck and then I opened my eyes and I was in a meadow.” he said “It’s good to know that my spell worked.” Kristin said watching her son be rendered speechless for the 2nd time in a few minutes. “You can do magic?” he asked shocked “I’m an immortal goddess of death and you’re shocked that I can do magic.” she said “I’m freaking out over one thing at a time here.” he said.
*****
Phil was talking with his sons when he got a call from the hospital. He felt tears start to form in his eyes as he rounded them all into the car. He stayed on the phone with receptionist as he sped through the city. The only thing going through his head was to get to Wilbur as fast as possible. When he made it to the hospital he quickly rushed inside and to the receptionist. “I’m here for Wilbur Craft i’m his father.” he said voice rushed due to his panic “Ok he’s in surgery right now. He came in with a piece of metal stuck in his leg and several glass shards across his torso and legs.” the receptionist said “How much longer until I can see him?” Phil asked “I have no idea but i’ll come get you when you can see him.” she said. Phil nodded and made his way to the waiting room.

He made his rounds checking on each of his sons and making sure they were comfortable. He was trying to keep himself busy so that he didn’t have time to dwell on the fact that one of his oldest was right there on a surgery table so close but just out of his reach.

He started his pacing again when suddenly there was a flurry of doctors and nurses all heading towards the operating rooms. Phil knew there was a chance that Wilbur wasn’t the only person in surgery put then he felt it. He could see that Techno had felt it as well if the panic look in his eyes as he looked at Phil was any indication. It seemed that Tommy had felt it to which was strange seeing as he hadn’t signed the papers yet.
*****
Wilbur watched as his mom opened up a little one way glass to where his body was. He watched as the doctors and nurses did CPR trying to keep his body stable. “Can I go back?” he asked looking at his mom “If you want to. It’s not your time yet. Someone messed up the timeline. But if you want to go back close your eyes.” Kristin said. Wilbur did as he was told. He heard his mom say some sort of incantation before it felt like he was on a train. When he could hear again he heard the steady beep of a heart rate monitor.
*****
Phil was still sitting when a doctor came over to him. He looked over at the man and waited to hear the news “Your son just got out of surgery and he should make a full recovery. He did leave us for a little but we managed to bring him back and with enough time he shouldn’t have any permanent damage.” the doctor said “Oh that’s wonderful when can we see him.” Phil said “He’s in recovery right now but we’ll get you as soon as you can see him.” the doctor said.

Phil let out a sigh of relief and fully collapsed into the chair he was sitting in. His son was going to be ok and that’s all that mattered. He could go and kill whoever was responsible for the accident later. Right now though his family is all that mattered.
*****
Kristin was on her way to go and find a way to kill a god when Drista ran into her castle. “Mom!” Drista said before crashing into her. Kristin pulled the young girl into a hug and moved them over to the couch as she felt her breathing speed up and tears soak her clothes.

“Drista honey breathe for me nice deep breathes like mine.” Kristin said exaggerating her own. It took some time but eventually Drista’s breathing leveled out. “Ok now what has you upset honey?” Kristin asked “Something happened. I don’t know there was a portal to the mortal realm and I got excited because i’ve never been able to make one before and so when I did my little happy hand shake an accident happened. I think Wilbur was in it. Is he ok mama?” Drista said voice wavering.

“Oh he’s going to be fine sweetheart. It seems though that a certain someone is gaining control of parts of her domain.” Kristin said giving a little tickle on her stomach. “Mom stop.” Drista said with a giggle “Also what do you mean gaining control over a part of my domain?” Drista asked confused “Oh well all of us have a domain and despite what your brother wants you to think he doesn’t control everything. You have timeline control. Once you gain full control of it XD won’t have any control over it.” Kristin said the shadow of a pleased smirk on her face.

“Wait so you mean to tell me I hurt Wilbur.” Drista said voice small “I swear I didn’t mean to I was just so excited I didn’t even think of it would have any effects on the people.” she said as she started to hyperventilate again a constant stream of i'm sorry falling from her. “Oh Drista sweetheart I don’t blame you and i’m not mad at you ok. Mama isn’t mad I promise.” Kristin said gently rocking her daughter “Yo-you promise.” Drista said voice shaking “Yes I promise now how about you stay here and rest.” Kristin said. After getting a nod from her daughter she walked out the door.

Now she was going to have a conversation with a certain god and well it wasn’t the original the conversation she planned on having but equipped with this new information it seemed that said god hadn’t told his sister was at the age where she was going to gain power over her domains and well that simply won’t do.

Notes:

Ok who here is all shocked by the ending. I was thinking as one does and I realized I kind of made XD the cause of all the problems that everyone immediately jumped to the accident being his fault. Any how it's MCC today meaning all of better be eating and stay hydrated. Now that all of that is out of the way go red reindeers. If you want to leave a comment I respond to everyone.

Chapter 19: Wilbur woke up

Summary:

Somewhat family bonding in the hospital and some of our favorite characters.

Notes:

TW
-cemetery
CW
-ghosts

Wilbur woke up and looked around the unfamiliar room he was in. He knew he was in the hospital if the steady beeping of the heart monitor was anything to go by. Looking to his left he saw his dad and to the right he saw Techno sitting in chairs. He felt something shuffle against him and looking down he found Tommy curled into his side. Looking straight ahead he saw his three newest brothers laying across some chairs sleeping peacefully.

Wilbur shifted slightly and felt a pair of arms tug him closer. “Wilby don’t leave.” the tired voice of his littlest brother said “Oh Wilbys not leaving bubs i’m just trying to get comfortable.” Wilbur said rubbing soothing circles on his Tommy’s back. He felt Tommy shuffle so more before his breathing evened out and he went back to sleep.

With Tommy asleep Wilbur tried to remember everything that happened leading to him waking up. He knew he was going to get the adoption form for his new brothers when he got into a car accident but from there everything was blurry. He remembered hearing the song his mother would hum around the house and maybe his mother which would mean he had died at some point. He’d have to ask his dad when he woke up. But trying to remember was making his head hurt so he adjusted himself careful to not jostle Tommy and fell asleep.
*****
When Phil woke up he wasn’t expecting to see his son translucent floating above his bed. Except when he looked Wilbur was sleeping which wasn’t confusing at all. So now there was the not ghost of his son floating in the room and he had no idea what to do.

But it seemed that the choice was made for him when the ghost saw him “Oh hello there. I’m Ghostbur.” the ghost said voice somehow giving a slight echo. It reminded him of the times when Kristin and him had first gotten married and she would only partially materialize on the mortal plane. “Why hello there Ghostbur i’m Phil.” he said.

He watched as Ghostbur mouthed the word a few times before smiling. “Did you know we died?” Ghostbur asked “Whose we?” Phil asked “Wilbur and I.” Ghostbur said with far to much enthusiasm for talking about dying. “So you and Wilbur aren’t the same person?” Phil asked even more confused than before “Well we were but when we died and he decided to come back a part stayed a ghost to ‘balance it out’ due to his relationship with our lady. She told me i’m not suppose to let him remember anything from when he died and he tried to earlier.” the ghost said the more Ghostbur talked the more confused Phil got “You have to tell him to stop trying to remember he can’t break these rules.” Ghostbur said in such a serious tone it shocked Phil but he nodded anyway.

That seemed to be enough for the ghost and as Wilbur began to stir Ghostbur waved goodbye and disappeared. He waited for Wilbur to open his eyes and once he did Phil started his dad fussing as his sons liked to call it. “How are you feeling Wil?” he asked “Pretty good all things considered.” Wilbur said with a tired smile.

Phil looked around at all his boys when he noticed one was missing. He felt himself begin to panic slightly “I have him dad.” Wilbur said lifting his arm to reveal a head of blonde hiar curled into his side. “I woke up to find him sleeping on me and when I shifted he woke up and thought I was going to leave him after some reassurance he kind of burrowed into my side and now i’m scared to move.” Wilbur said.

Phil had to hold back a laugh once Wilbur was done telling his story. Not because his youngest was scared of losing his brother but that Tommy was letting himself be clingy and expressing his fears. Honestly if he didn’t know about the boys wings he would think Tommy was a racoon hybrid. Phil and Wilbur sat and talked while they waited for the rest of the boys to wake up.

As they were waiting Phil remembered what Ghostbur had said “Hey Wil I was told to tell you to not try to remember what happened in the afterlife. I know you like to break the rules but you cannot break this one ok.” Phil said. He waited for his son to nod before taking a breath. “So when do you think we should have the adoption party.” Phil said to distract Wilbur and it worked they planned up until they heard Tommy stirring.
*****
Tommy woke up and blinked his eyes a few times before he let out a warning chirp. He looked around the room trying to find whatever had caused the cold floaty smell. He looked over to Phil for help because someone was here and they weren’t suppose to be. He saw Phil do a scan through the room before shaking his head and letting out a reassuring trill.

He let out a confused chirp could Phil not smell it? It was a such an out of place smell in a hospital. He looked to Phil again and let out another warning chirp. What he hadn’t expected was for Phil to pick him up and carry him out of the room.

“Tommy there isn’t anything or anyone dangerous in that room.” Phil said “But there was it smells cold and floaty in there. Like it does in the cemetery.” Tommy said “What do you mean by that Toms?” Phil asked “The cemetery smells like it does on Wilbur’s bed. Especially when there’s these white figures. They try to talk to me I even made friends with one her name is Clementine. She protects me from some of the meaner ones.” Tommy said “So you’re telling me you can smell ghosts?” Phil asked “Are those what they are?” Tommy asked.

Tommy watched Phil take a big breath, “Yes Tommy that’s what they are and there was a ghost in Wilbur’s room. But you can’t tell him about it yet. There’s a super special set of rules we have to follow and we don’t know all of them yet.” Phil said, Tommy nodded “You got it dad.” he said. The two went back into Wilbur's room. But Tommy got bored and so that’s how an intense game of eye spy started while he waited for his brothers to wake up.
*****
Kristin found herself traveling to the cemetery earlier than she typically. Seeing as she had her actual meeting with the spirits that inhabited it. Instead she was her to speak with one spirit. It didn’t take long to find the grave she was looking for seeing as she frequently spoke with her.

“Oh Clementine.” Kristin said she let out a little laugh as she saw said spirit fly out of the ground. “Oh why hello Lady Death what brings you here today?” Clementine asked “I wanted to thank you for looking after Tommy. He doesn’t know of his heritage yet and so thank you for keeping safe.” Kristin said “Oh he’s your little munchkin.” Clementine said Kristin nodded “Well I did not expect that. I just thought it was the little guys power and well you know, some of the folks here aren’t the most friendliest spirits.” Clementine said.

“Yeah but still you kept him safe without wanting anything in return so thank you.” Kristin said “Well of course I wouldn’t want anything in return he was only about 7 or 8 when he first came and visited.” Clementine said “Yeah he really was small.” Kristin said with a smile. Kristin went to go leave “Tell Drista I said hi.” Clementine said. Kristin nodded and stepped back into her realm. She let out a sigh of relief he boys were all going to be fine.

Notes:

So I got my license last week and just got back from visiting family in Texas for Christmas. It was nice to see them and surprise them. I wrote this chapter on the way back because when you have 24+ hours on your hands might as well.

Also thank you guys so much for 44 kudos it means a lot to me that you all enjoy this despite being all over the place at times.

Chapter 20: It's naptime

Summary:

We get a look at the quickly forming family dynamic happening. Also spaghetti makes a comeback.

Notes:

TW

Techno was glad to hear the news that Wilbur was cleared to go home. Staying in the hospital for more than a few hours always put him on edge. It always smelled to clean and sterile which gave him headaches. But he was staying to make sure his brother was ok.

Now he was sitting in the passenger sit as Wilbur got pestered by his new bunch of brothers. Well most of them Tommy was asleep head resting on Wilbur’s shoulder and Ranboo looked was dozing with his head against the window. Poor kid wasn’t going to get any sleep in the car and if the tired look in his eyes as he made eye contact with him said anything the boy knew it too.

When his dad pulled into the driveway Techno took sighed in relief as familiar things invaded his senses. This was his home and he couldn’t wait for his new brothers to call it that too.
*****
Tommy was tired. Even though he had a little nap on the drive back home he was still exhausted. Being on high alert for a ghost tends to do that to a person. Of course he couldn’t just nap by himself and so he dragged Ranboo along with him. Because as much as Tommy needed this nap Ranboo did too.

So Tommy dragged Ranboo up the stairs and into Techno’s room. Because this was a nap that would be best served in Techno’s room. Tommy had a system light naps would happen in Wilbur’s room because of the curtains always being open during the day and the warm colors that filled the room and Techno’s room was for legit naps.

He wasn’t sure why but he always slept better during naps in Techno’s room. It might be the fact that Techno’s room was inviting in it’s own special way with the mythology books and various copies of other pieces of literature spread across the desk and book shelf. It may be just the fact of he met Techno first. All he knew was that he was napping with Ranboo in Techno’s room and no one was going to stop him and nap the two of them did.
*****
Techno was planning on relaxing up in his room thinking that Tommy had dragged Ranboo to Wilbur’s but of course that wasn’t the case because he found Tommy leeching Ranboo’s body heat. He knows the boy does it he’s pretty Tommy knows too but no one could disturb the boy while he was sleeping so they all had to suck it up and deal with it. It was like the rule with cats except it’s an avian who can be like a feral raccoon.

So he walked right out of his room and walked into the living room “Tommy and Ranboo are napping in my room. So lower your voices.” he said walking into a heated game of Mario Kart. He waited a moment and when they didn’t quiet down he gave a warning growl. Didn’t matter if you were a piglin hybrid or not it was a pretty easy to recognize sound.

He watched as the children playing Mario Kart froze before loudly whispering insults at each other with the same amount of speed just quiet enough to not wake the runt sleeping upstairs. Looking over he saw Wilbur motion his head toward the kitchen. Looking over at his new brothers and making sure they were still being quiet he made followed his brother into the kitchen.

“Did you really have to growl at them Tech?” Wilbur asked “They were going to wake Tommy and Ranboo up. They need sleep Wilbur Ranboo looked dead on his feet and Tommy looked so stressed they need this.” Techno said “Fair enough.” Wilbur said raising his hand in surrender “Any idea why they’re in your room?” Wilbur asked “My room isn’t as bright as yours. He looked like he needs a longer nap.” Techno said before grabbing a snack out of the pantry and going outside.
*****
Phil was looking on as all chaos unfolded the moment they got home. Tommy dragging Ranboo upstairs for a much needed nap and Tubbo and Purpled arguing over which video game to play. This is all he wanted. A nice big family with enough energy to power the block for a few minutes. This is what he thought of when he thought of his family.
*****
Kristin looked down on her family with a smile on her face. Her family was practically whole again now all she had to do was put herself back into the picture as long as XD kept his nose out of her family’s lives she was set.

She let out a soft sigh and heard Drista stir on the couch. The girl had still been upset over what happened to Wilbur and so Kristin had taken to showing her him whenever she got really emotional. Seeing as Drista was just gaining control of her domain it responded heavily to her emotions.

Walking over towards the couch she crouched down in front of her daughter “Are you hungry?” she asked the girl who gave a sleepy nod. Kristin chuckled and made her way to the kitchen intent on making the best spaghetti in the universe. It was her specialty and well she wanted her son to experience it hence Ranboo making it just not the way she does.

She couldn’t wait to see her husband and sons again and well introduce herself to her new ones. They all needed a mother and Drista needed some friends. But she would introduce her to her sons at a later date. She wasn’t sure if her and Phil would be able to handle the two of them after just getting each other back. Gods only knows what kind of chaos those two would cause.

So that’s how she found herself sitting at the table with Drista digging into her spaghetti. She looked over towards her daughter and smiled. Someday soon her family would be whole again.

Chapter 21: The Return of Phoenix

Summary:

Y'all so much is happening here new characters and Mumza.

Notes:

This chapter was a fun one to write
This chapter contains
- stabbing
- broken bones
- non-consensual possession
- mention of torture there is no actual torture

Now Tommy knew he had to go back and patrol at some point seeing as the main vigilantes for their area were currently quire a few districts away. So after an intense game of rock paper scissors in which both boys wanted to win seeing as they were getting antsy being holed up inside. It was due to the fact that both Tubbo and Ranboo were in the room that kept the boys from fighting when Tommy won.

So that’s how Tommy found himself fumbling for an excuse to why he was heading upstairs early with faith in his friends ability to stall his family should they try to poke their noses in his business he was a big man who could take care of himself. He was really glad that Purpled had managed to sneak back to the apartment and get their costumes.

Now in his iconic costume Tommy jumped out the window and flew high above the houses he didn’t need to get spotted by anyone here. His duty was to Logstedshire and its people not the ones the heroes protected. The people here would be safe here they had the heroes who regularly patrolled the area.

The heroes which Tommy was not accounting to be out at the moment. So when he felt himself get pulled out of the air by something he was confused. Until he came face to face with a smiling mask.

“Hey Dream I don’t suppose you would believe me if I said I was just trying to go for a flight.” Tommy said instead of a response he had to dodge as a fist came hurling towards him. Tommy cursed under his breath. He was at a high disadvantage in this fight with Dream’s telekinetic powers. He couldn’t even properly be defense. But Tommy wasn’t going down without a fight or quietly.

So he did what would level the playing field and let his senses take over. He felt his wings puff up slightly in agitation and his earring and eyesight sharpen. He could feel each of Dream’s movements in the air and could hear the smallest shift of the dirt around them. He kept dodging the hits coming towards him until he could find an opening of his own.

Finding the opening took a lot longer than he would have like but Dream was the top hero for a reason. But he found his opening when Dream was just slightly to slow in pulling his hand back in. So Tommy switch to offense and began his attacks. Trying not to pull his punches because it was clear Dream wasn’t he aimed a kick for Dream’s side when he felt white hot pain in his side.

Looking down he saw the handle of one of Dream’s knives sticking out. He quickly forced Dream’s hand off the handle and turned so that Dream wouldn’t have easy access to pulling it out. Tommy felt tears building up in his eyes and a chirp bubbling up in his throat and quickly pulled himself out of his instincts.

He grabbed the knife he carried with him out of the inner pocket of his hoodie and slashed down Dream’s mask over on the eyes. He didn’t expect it to actually cut through the mask. But it did revealing a toxic swirling neon green glowing eye. He watched as Dream grabbed the piece of the mask that fell before leaving but not before stopping on Tommy’s foot.

Once Tommy deemed the man far enough gone he let the tears flow. Despite keeping the knife in he knew if he didn’t get actual medical help he was going to die and the only thing Purpled hadn't brought were the panic buttons. He carefully scooted against wall of the building and let some of his tears fall. He knew it wouldn’t heal much seeing how much distress and pain he was in but it was worth a shot.
*****
Dream opened his eyes and found himself standing in front of the hero tower. He shrugged it off he must have zoned out and made his way inside. Unaware of the shocked looks of the people at the front desk.

Getting out of the elevator on the floor he shared with his friends he heard a shocked gasp. “Dream where have you been. You had everyone worried. They said to stay here but we were both about to start looking for you.” George said “What so you mean George I just went out for a walk.” Dream said “Dream you’ve been missing for three days.” Sapnap said. “There’s no way I was missing for three day.” Dream said.

Dream tried to think about what he was doing and saw on the walk only for everything to be blurry. “Don’t think to hard about it. Your mortal mind will melt. I just have to warn you. But you’ve been a wonderful host.” the voice said. Then Dream passed out.
*****
Kristin was following her son as he made his way to his patrol route. So when she saw Dream’s eye she knew something was up. Her nephew didn’t have those eyes. But she could revisit that later her son needed her now.

She conjured herself on the mortal plane and rushed over to her son. She watch as blood trickled out of the wound around the knife. She put her hand over his wrist checking for a pulse as he blinked at her. “Mommy?” he asked “Yes baby mommy’s here.” she said as she started muttering a light healing spell under her breath. “Will you stay with me please?” she heard him ask “I can stay just until your father gets here. Then I have to go.” she said.

It seemed good enough for Tommy seeing as she felt him nestle into her side. She pulled on the bond she had with her husband glad that XD couldn’t erase that like his memories of her being a goddess.

She asked Tommy all sorts of question from what he liked to play with his new brothers to his favorite story Clementine had told him. She just had to keep him awake long enough for Phil to get to them.

Making sure that despite the pain Tommy was in a steady enough head space to make a decision he wouldn’t regret she asked him if he wanted a mask to wear. “If it wouldn’t be to much trouble could I have one.” he said. Kristin nodded and conjured up a mask and some pen and paper and wrote down to leave the mask on. She felt her husband getting closer. She left herself visible to her son and put her fingers to her lips.

Once her husband got her son she made her way to XD’s palace. She hadn’t quite found a way to kill a god yet but torture. Torture was possible and she was sure that she quite a few people would help her. So invites were sent and soon 3 goddesses were off to go storm the palace. After all Tommy was Eret’s favorite and he had possessed Puffy’s son. Turns out Dream wasn’t going power hungry XD was just trying to breach Puffy’s defenses to keep her son safe and it was affecting him mentally.

Notes:

Chapter 22: What's Happening in the Craft House

Phil following the funny feeling, emerald duo, and what's happening to XD.

Notes:

When Phil had felt what he had dubbed a calling he had learned not to ignore it. So when he felt it while planning the next stunt for the Syndicate he immediately rushed towards where the pull was coming from. He had some practice over the years following it so it didn’t take him very long to find what had caused the calling. What he hadn’t expected was to find Phoenix coated in blood barely conscious on a rooftop.

Walking carefully towards the vigilante he sucked in a sharp breath at the sight. Phoenix’s hoodie had blood soaking through around a the handle of a knife. Phil had just left the hospital he didn’t need to go to another one. Looking at the note left near the vigilante he grimaced. Secret identities were meant to be kept secret he wouldn’t violate that.

While deciding the best way to move the vigilante he saw the vigilante in question giggle and wave before trying to close his eyes. “Nope no falling asleep I would like for you to stay alive.” Phil said while trying to get the vigilantes attention. Deciding that a since the vigilante was indeed an avian that he should be fine to chirp his way through keeping him awake and he did just that. He chirped and trilled all the way to the med bay where Hannah already had everything set up for a patient. Once he placed the vigilante on the bed he was shooed out.
*****
Purpled couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong. Despite knowing that Tommy could take care of himself he found himself pacing around the room. Tommy would have to cross through hero infested areas in order to make it to Logstedshire and it wouldn’t be to far of a reach to assume that one of the heroes got him. Which one was the question.
*****
Techno thought nothing when his dad rushed out the house what did concern him is when he came back smelling like blood. That got Techno’s attention but his dad looked tired so he wouldn’t press quite yet. Later after his dad had sometime to relax and unwind after coming back stressed but not now.

For now Techno was going to go check on his brothers and make sure that all of them were still alive. Four teenage boys in a single area was enough to have anyone concerned for whatever they were doing. But doing that proved to be difficult when he was met with barely audible breaths and a locked door.

Once they had gotten the boys to stay they had made it clear that no one would go into their room with out their permission and if they felt the need to they could lock the door. They had locked the door the first few nights but had left it unlocked since. So they either wanted privacy or they had fallen back in their progress. Although the former was more likely Techno knew healing wasn’t linear and he expected for something like this to happen at some point.

So he left the boys be. No need to feed into their fears. They would come out when they were ready however long it may be.

Techno started making his down the stairs to the living room where his dad was sitting on the couch. He sat down and waited a little bit giving his father time to collect himself before asking his question.

After about five minutes he shifted to face his father “What happened that had you running out like that?” he asked “I had a feeling and nothing good comes from me having this particular feeling so I followed it. Only to find Phoenix was a knife in his stomach barely conscious. So now we have a vigilante resting in our med bay.” Phil said.

It took Techno a few seconds to process what exactly his father had just said but once he did he could feel his face turn to one of shock. “You mean to tell me that you found Phoenix the little vigilante we’ve been watching impaled and you didn’t think to tell us on your way to the med bay.” Techno said “It was stressful Tech. We all know he’s younger than 18 or else he wouldn’t have reacted the way he did when we first met him. He’s just a boy Tech and I refuse to see another kid die.” his dad said.

Techno sighed emotions were far from his strong suit but he could understand how his dad felt. Losing his brother had hurt them all. So he did the only thing he could think of doing and cuddled into his father’s side.
*****
When Tommy regained consciousness he felt like shit. The light was somehow still too bright even though his eyes were closed. He tried to identify where he was from the sounds and smells and if he was right then he was in some sort of hospital.

The memories of what had happened flooded his brain and he let out a distressed chirp. The chirp let whoever outside his was that he was awake because he heard the knob twist and someone walk in. “Hello there Phoenix i’m Rosethorn and i’m going to just do some basic checks alright.” the person Rosethorn said.

Now logically Tommy knew he shouldn’t just let Rosethorn near him she was a villain after all but with the new mask that his mum had given him firmly in place he couldn’t find it in himself to care. He just wanted the pain to go away. So he let her do her checks and change whatever she needed to. The difficulty came when she asked him to sit up.

Anytime Tommy shifted a little bit to much it would feel like someone was bombing his head and well it wasn’t a good feeling. So he just laid there hoping Rosethorn would get the hint.
*****
Kristin watched on as her youngest was taken care of. She felt a snarl form on her face at the thought of what put him in the situation in the first place. But how listening to XD plead to be let out was music to her ears. Putting him the chamber she had discovered was meant to contain an immortal was a wonderful surprise. Even better was the fact that it stopped your power from working while draining it eventually ruling the being inside with not even an ounce of power left.

But if you let them out of the chamber with all their power gone and it came flooding back well the damage it could do was severe. She was going to have so much fun with this.

Chapter 23: The one time someone managed to talk and get Tommy to listen

Summary:

Tommy is getting treated and gets visited by two of our supervillains. Purpled is being a protective big brother.

Notes:

CW
-Hospital setting
TW
-Kinda panic attack

Hannah watched on as Phoenix tried to sit up after a few attempts and the fact that it caused him pain became evident she went over and helped him up. She knew he didn’t trust her and she wasn’t sure how much she trusted him but he was her patient and she’d yet to have a patient die under her watch.

After doing some basic assessment and explaining that yes his tears helped to heal the wound but that wouldn’t stop it from getting infected and no he couldn’t go out and patrol as soon as he got out. That yes she would tie him to the bed if he tried to leave to early and no he wouldn’t be able to stop her.

They went back and forth like this up until Tommy put his head back down on the pillow and promptly fell back asleep. Hannah let out a sigh of relief. The boy was finally resting. Despite being a villain she wouldn’t want the kid who’d been stopping her bosses operations he was still her patient and she would treat him as such.
*****
Phil was making his way to the med bay with Techno behind him. He had to go check and make sure the young vigilante he brought in was doing good. He knew Phoenix was in good hands but still the way he had first met the young vigilante and watch as he slipped into his instincts hurt him. It confirmed their theory that Phoenix was still a child. A child was causing them all that trouble.

In a way Phil felt pride swell in him. A child was able to derail there plans and go toe to toe with heroes. Well almost all the heroes. But whoever did this to a child would have a lot of explaining to do.

Phil picked up the pace as he got closer to the room the vigilante was in. He was about to bust through the door when Hannah walked out. “How is he?” he asked “He’s doing better then when you brought him in. He’s sleeping now but I just had to explain to him that he couldn’t go out to patrol right after he was let out or sneak out. Kids got fight in him.” Hannah responded “He had to have fight in him if he wanted to stay alive.” Techno said.

Phil looked over to his son “What do you mean by that?” he asked “He was a street kid.” Techno said as if the answer was clear as day “Care to elaborate mate?” Phil asked “He acts like one. The way he stays on high alert and his eyes flicker around. That isn’t just making sure he isn’t going to get ambushed that’s something he’s had to do.” Techno said.

That was all it took for Phil to go into Phoenix’s room. Looking down at the vigilante he was reminded of how Wil looked not to long ago. Hooked up to all kinds of equipment and the steady beeping of a heart monitor.

Phil quietly took a seat next to the bed. Looking down at Phoenix relaxed made him think of Tommy. He wondered if the two would get along. “We aren’t adopting another kid. We have plenty at home.” Techno said when Phil looked over at him. “But he would have a great home.” Phil said “Besides you said so yourself he’s a street kid.” “I said he was a street kid. But you think a street kid has access to the things Phoenix does. He’s got a home.” Techno said. “Fine.” Phil said before continuing looking over the vigilante.
*****
Purpled had curled himself into a ball in the closest ignoring his friends attempts to get him out. Something had happened to Tommy he could feel it. It was like nothing in the world was right. Somewhere Tommy was hurt and he couldn’t deal with that. That was his brother and he refused to let anything else happen to him.

Unfortunately for him though the moment he came out into the room Ranboo and Tubbo ambushed him with blankets and put on a movie. Damn his friends and their what he and Tommy were sure was a second power their ability to make you relax. It didn’t matter how stressed or wound up you were they somehow managed to get you to relax.

“Somethings wrong with Tommy and we have no clue where he is.” Purpled said wiggling in the blanket cocoon he was shoved in. “He has a tracker Purpled.” Tubbo said “You said it lost it’s signal last night.” Purpled said. Another thing that had him on edge.

“The main tracker went offline but the backup tracker is still working it’s just going to take a minute to get ahold of.” Tubbo said “So we have two tracker?” Purpled asked “Of course you have two i’m not an amateur.” Tubbo said faking offense “My mistake but find our brother now please and thank you.” Purpled said before plopping on the bed.
*****
Tommy opened his eyes and was met with a coo. Looking over he saw the Angel of Death and the Blood God. Tommy felt his eyes widen in shock and despite what anyone said he did not scream he let out a very manly shriek.

“Hey kid it’s alright we’re not going to hurt you.” Blood God said Tommy just squirmed further back in his bed “He’s right mate. We just wanted to make sure you were healing ok. You just got stabbed and that’s a lot for a kid.” Angel said “I’m not a kid.” Tommy muttered on reflex “But you are or else your instincts wouldn’t have responded the way they did.” Angel said.

Tommy glared at the two from behind the mask his mother fashioned for him. “I’m healing just fine which i’m sure Rosethorn told you so I don’t know why you’re here.” Tommy snapped at them “Because you are a child whether you admit it or not and we believe children deserve to be protected not protectors.” Angel said.

“If I don’t protect them then who will? The heroes they’re off probably tearing the district to the ground. I was their hope every time something happened Phoenix rose from the aftermath and they were safe. My brothers were safe. But now i’m farther away from my people and my brothers are probably worried sick. I think the tracker they use is got destroyed so they have no idea where I am.” Tommy said working himself into a spiral.

He barely heard Rosethorn ushering the two villains out before placing something heavy on his lap. “It’s ok Tommy we’ll look after your people and i’m sure your brothers have a back up plan if you tracker goes offline.” Rosethorn said voice soft “But in order to protect everyone you need to have people protecting you.” Tommy opened his mouth to say he did when Rosethorn shook her head. “People who aren’t children trying telling an adult or you’re new dad.” she said.

Tommy felt his face pale and froze.

Notes:

This chapter was both fun to write yet it kicked my butt. This is probably the only April update this fic is going to get since i'm participating in AU April with my cousin in which we are each doing 15 so i'm going to be a bit busy. If I can sneak an update I will but not promises. Winter guard season is over which means I get to have a life for about 3 months give or take and then marching band starts up.

Chapter 24: At least someone has brain cells

Summary:

Hannah has the brain cell and uses it. Also brothers.

Notes:

CW
-hospital like setting
-hinted/implied torture nothing graphic at all

“How do you know who I am?” Tommy asked “Because i’m a doctor and I know things like when gods and goddesses claim their own.” Rosethorn said. Tommy took a moment to process what Rosethorn said. He didn’t know how it was possible, not even his brothers knew about his mum. “How?” he asked “When an immortal claims someone it alters that persons blood just slightly. Not even doctors can pick it up however my plants allow me to pick it up because my medicines are made to work specifically for my patient.” Rosethorn said.

 

Tommy thought about it and while it didn’t make sense it also did in a way. Of course his blood would have to be different how else was he supposed to survive the various things he got into. It was still weird to know that he should be dead but his mother’s will was the only thing keeping him alive. It was a shock in the same way it wasn’t. He also wondered how long until technology advanced far enough that the doctors would also be able to tell what all was in his blood.

 

Reaching up he took the mask off his face before looking to Rosethorn “How long do I have to stay here?” he asked “Not to long three days at most.” she said “What about my family?” he asked “I’ll let your brother’s know to come up with something unless you want to tell your father.” Rosethorn said. Tommy shook his head “I’ve worked this hard to keep a secret identity and my other hobby from my family for a reason. I can’t drag them into this.” he said “What if they’re already involved?” Rosethorn asked “What do you mean by that?” Tommy asked Rosethorn shook her head “Just think about what I said please Tommy.” she said before leaving the room.

*****

Hannah shook her head to clear her mind. She wasn’t sure how long it would take for anyone in that house to put the puzzle together but it was going to drive her crazy. If they kept dancing around the topic nothing was going to get done and the reveal would probably be with someone getting hurt and she couldn’t have that. She loved all of them but she would like to have some time to herself which meant keeping the idiots she worked with from getting hurt. It also meant getting them to all reveal who they were and quick before Tommy found himself in a situation where he couldn’t call his brothers or someone in the Syndicate couldn’t get to her fast enough. How she ended up with the most stubborn people she would never know.

*****

Purpled was sitting on his bed after Ranboo had told him to sit before he paced a hole in the floor. He knew that Tubbo had everything under control however his brother was somewhere and he had no idea where. He was about to get up when Tubbo let out a cheer “Found him.” he said causing Purpled to rush over to his desk. “Isn’t that one of the places we see some of the most Syndicate activity?” Ranboo asked causing Purpled to tense up. He was right this area had a bunch of Syndicate activity especially after a fight with the heroes.

 

“It doesn’t matter. We can get in find Tommy and get out. We’re all quiet enough and the last sighting was Angel and Blood God and they both left so I think we’re in the clear.” Purpled said. He didn’t care how he had to do but he was determined to get his brother back.

*****

XD struggled to keep his head up while the cell drained his power. He refused to show weakness.

*****

Techno was busying himself in the kitchen while his dad and brother talked. He wasn’t sure what but something about Phoenix tickled his memory like he should know who he was.

Should we tell him

No he needs to figure it out

I don’t know

He’s smart he can do it

‘Will you all just shut up.’ he thought back. He let out a breath of relief when they listened. No matter how annoying they were chat was usually right. Meaning he knew whoever Phoenix was in his civilian life and just needed to figure out who.

*****

Tommy was sitting in his bed after getting some more medicine from Rosethorn when he heard the window open. Looking over he felt a smile appear on his face when he saw all his brothers waiting for him. Even Tubbo got into the costume and he never did that.

 

“What are you guys doing here?” he asked “Making sure you’re ok.” Purpled said. Tommy was confused before remembering how this would look on his brothers end. “Well i’m just fine everything is wonderful.” he said. As he was saying that he heard the door open and saw Rosethorn coming in. He didn’t have a chance to warn her before his brothers turned to look and get into ready stances.

 

“Now this looks bad and I get that however she’s the reason i’m still alive right now and I would like to stay that way so if you could not attack my doctor that would be great.” Tommy said. He bare had time to appreciate his brothers faces of shock before he was being asked a bunch of questions. The most repeated being what happened, how did you get here, and where are you hurt.

 

Before he had a chance to respond Rosethorn was already answering the questions “Angel brought him in because he got stabbed in the side by someone and no I don’t know who.” Rosethorn said “Why did you heal him?” Purpled asked Tommy was curious about that as well. Who healed someone on the opposite side of them. “Because my boss asked me to and he is a child. No child should have to suffer because of sides. Also Tommy’s mom would have killed me.” Rosethorn said.

 

Tommy watched as his brother’s accepted the answer before realizing that she called Tommy by his name. He really wished he could have gotten a picture.

-Reference to Tommy getting stabbed

“How do you know my brother’s name?” Purpled asked hand reaching for where he kept his knife. Tommy watched as Rosethorn tracked his brother’s hand. Tommy saw the moment Rosethorn knew what his brother was doing when he saw a plant pining his hand to his side. “There will be no funny business in my med bay young man. I understand you are worried about your brother however that does not give you the right to try and harm me in my place of work. If I wanted Tommy dead he would be dead and so would the rest of you. So use your manners that I know you were taught and let us talk like civilized people.” Rosethorn said.

Tommy clapped his hands in a show of support. Tommy watched as his brothers had a conversation and waited for them to reach a verdict. Looking over to Rosethorn he saw her tilt. “They’re trying to decide what they’re going to do however in the end they’re going to listen.” Tommy whispered to her. She nodded before going and looking over his wounds.

“How are you feeling?” she asked him “Much better just a little sore.” he said “You will be for a little bit however you having a unique part of your hybrid the amount of time you need to heal went down by a lot.” she said. Tommy nodded now all he needed to do was wait for his brothers to decide to listen to Rosethorn.

“We’ve decided to listen however if the information you know gets used against any of us at any time and I will not hesitate to track you down and regret your life choices.” Tubbo said. “If I wanted any harm to come to any of you it would have happened by now.” Rosethorn said.

“How do you know our brothers name?” Tubbo asked “His blood.” she replied “Who did it?” Ranboo asked “I have no idea however i’m sure Angel is looking into it.” she said. Tommy made a note to tell her who stabbed him. His brothers continued to ask question and for a little while longer until he yawned and Rosethorn ushered them out. Just as she was about to leave Tommy called her over. “It was Dream except he wasn’t himself he seemed to be possessed by something.” he said before closing his eyes and going to sleep.
*****
Hannah left Tommy’s room and made her way to her office. Once she locked the door she dialed Phil. “Hey Hannah what’s up? How’s Phoenix?” he asked “Phoenix is doing fine and he told me who stabbed him.” Hannah said. She heard Phil take a deep breath “Who did it?” he asked “Dream did however he was missing for days prior to the attack and Phoenix said he thought Dream was possessed by something. That means you can’t kill him or harm him in anyway.” Hannah said. She heard Phil sigh before promising to not kill the hero.

After explaining a few more things to Phil Hannah hung up and made her way into the main base. When she got there she saw Niki sitting at the table playing with her bracelet. “Are you ok Niki?” Hannah asked “Yeah just a little bit worried about Phoenix he’s a kid and getting stabbed no matter how old you are is scary.” Niki said “Well he’s going to make a full recovery.” Hannah said. “How bad was it?” Niki asked “If he didn’t have anyway of healing himself he would have died.” Hannah said. She saw Niki’s eyes widen “Do you think Phil would let us keep him?” Niki asked “I don’t know Tech said Phil can’t adopt another kid.” Hannah said “Yeah but what if he joined us. Then he could get medical attention whenever he needed it.” Niki said.

Hannah let herself imagine it Tommy being able to have an actual doctor when he got hurt same with his brother’s. They would have a support system and backup should they need it. It would be wonderful however she knew the chances of them joining slim. “It would be great however I don’t think his moral compass would allow him and he wouldn’t do anything if Purpled didn’t go.” Hannah said. “Didn’t Phil recently adopt a kid named Purpled?” Niki asked “I don’t think they’re the same person the builds are different.” Hannah said hoping Niki would accept it. She let out a quiet sigh when Niki nodded her head.
*****
Niki watched as Hannah left to go tend to Phoenix and let herself think. While she let Hannah think she believed her explanation she knew the two had to be the same. She had met Purpled a few times both the civilian and the vigilante. While it was hard to find the similarities they were there. The name and honestly whoever told him that it was ok to use his real name she wanted to have a talk with. On top of that there were mannerisms that you would only find in someone who was used to constantly looking over their shoulder.

She had connected the dots ages ago and really she just wanted confirmation of her suspicions and well she got it. So now she needed to figure out a way to convince Purpled to join the Syndicate cause if he did then Phoenix was bound to follow. However even if Purpled didn’t she was sure Phoenix would come just because he needed a support network and something to heal him other than tears. She just needed to him to see how beneficial it would be for him.

Kristin sat in her meadow watching as Drista ran through the flowers. She chose a few near her to make wilt and then motioned the young goddess over. “I want you to restore these flowers to bloom.” she said. She watched as Drista seemed to think it over “The only way to get better control over your powers is to practice with them. You just need to change the timeline to keep me from wilting them. We all started with flowers they’re the easiest thing to manipulate.” Kristin said. She watched as Drista turned her attention to the flowers. Kristin saw thin strings begin to surround the young goddess before she tugged on one. Kristin smiled as the flowers went back to their original state. “Look at you go.” she said as Drista ran into her arms.

In a cell a god shivered as his power left him. He felt a significant amount leave and as much as he wanted to be happy for his sister he viewed her power as his.

Notes:

I'm back with your highly irregular update. I was at summer camp for a week in the mountains and humidity made me want to die but overall it was pretty fun. Thank you all for 12k hits can't believe this fic has that many. Between me not uploading for weeks and just everyone having their own personal life I am so thankful that you all have taken the time out of your day to read my fic. So we all survived ao3 being down. I have never been so grateful for having fics downloaded in my life. Because it was honestly crazy. I wake up and go to read my morning fic and I find out the site is down. But the lovely volunteers worked for over 24 hours to give us our fics back so thank you to them because I don't think some people were going to make it. I made it on my marching bands leadership team so band camp starts early.

Chapter 26: An offer and the semi truth

Summary:

Tommy gets an offer and he gets to learn a little bit of the truth of what is going on with his family.

Notes:

The pacing may be a little bit off but that's what happens when you write most of a chapter during a bout of insomnia so please forgive me.

When Tommy woke up from his nap he expected to see Rosethorn bustling about not Nemesis humming a little song while she tidied up a few things. The song scratched a part of his brain like he had heard it before he just couldn’t remember from where.

“What are you doing here?” he asked panicked before he felt the mask on his face. “Rosethorn put that on before she let me in which I understand you got an identity to protect kid. However you also have a body to protect which is why I came here to put out an offer. The Syndicate can give you protection and actual medical care not whatever you were getting previously. I’m not asking you to switch sides or anything you can still be a vigilante and all of that I just want you to be safe.” Nemesis said “You don’t understand if I join you even still as a vigilante than the others will leave me. I have a kind of family with them and I don’t want to lose that.” he said “If they leave you just because you joined a group letting you continue doing what you always do just with support than that’s not a good family. Just think about it.” she said before she left.

Tommy stared at the door as it closed behind Nemesis. She had a point if the others left him then they weren’t really his second family however he wasn’t sure if he could deal with that emotionally either. It was something he was going to have to think about alone. He wasn’t sure if he was going to be able to keep his thoughts to himself around his brothers. They knew him well.
*****
Techno knew something was off about the vigilante that was currently in their hospital. It was weird that he typically didn’t wear a mask. It was also weird that he was in such a wealthy district seeing as how he was Logstedshire’s vigilante. They had heard him complain about how well protected the higher districts were on multiple occasions. It was a puzzle an interesting one at that. However he was taught by his father to respect the privacy of others and he did not want to deal with the disappointed dad face. So as much as it bothered him he left this particular puzzle alone.
*****
Kristin watched on as her family tried to figure itself out. With XD locked away and out of the picture she could technically do whatever she wanted. However she knew her actions would still have consequences. So she made the choice that would leave the timeline mostly intact and materialized in her sons hospital room. What she hadn’t expected was Tommy’s current doctor walking into the room.

“Oh Lady Death welcome.” Hannah said bowing slightly “None of that Hannah you know better.” Kristin said “You’re a fucking goddess?” Tommy screeched causing both women to look over at him. “I told you a goddess had a claim on you.” Hannah said “You didn’t tell me it was my mom.” Tommy said. Kristin let out a little sigh “Well now that you know let me fill you in on the sort of family line. You know i’m a goddess and your father is my angel. You my son are a demigod and your father and I adopted two other kids who don’t have any magical powers like you will.” Kristin said.

“So i’m a demigod and eventually i’ll have powers?” Tommy asked Kristin nodded “That is so fucking pogchamp.” Tommy said causing Kristin and Hannah to laugh. “You know it’s been awhile since I had a demigod even short term. Last one was through here years ago.” Hannah said “Well Rosethorn you would get plenty of business with the others.” Kristin said “After all we’ve been missing your gardening skills seeing as your the goddess of plants.” Kristin said. Both women laughed at Tommy’s wordless screech.

Once Tommy fully calmed down and was able to from coherent sentences Kristin braced herself for the questions that were bound to not be family related. She was however not prepared for the one question her son asked “Was Dream possessed when he attacked me?” her son asked “Yes, he was possessed by XD who is technically on paper the most powerful of us all however he isn’t able to do much right now.” Kristin said. She waited for Tommy to ask more questions and when he didn’t she studied his face closely.

“You know it’s ok to not understand everything that’s happening right now right?” she asked him “Yeah it’s just a a lot to take in. I mean I thought I was going crazy sometimes after I saw you and no one else did. Especially that one time in the kitchen. I guess it doesn’t help that i’ve been under extreme distress every time i’ve gotten the chance to talk to you.” Tommy said “I understand that and i’m sorry we had to meet in those conditions but soon i’ll be back in everyone’s life. Once I finish up some business in the godly plane.” she said.

“How about until I finish up with the work I have to do on my end you take care of this for me.” she said holding out a mug. She watched Tommy eye it carefully “It’s one of my favorites and so you know i’ll be coming back for it. It has some of my happiest memories on it.” she said showing some of them to Tommy.

What she hadn’t expected was for her son to start crying. Holding him close she began singing the song she sang to him when he was younger and he had nightmares.
“You are my starshine
my lovely starshine
you make me smile
at the deep dark sky
you'll always know dear
how much i love you
i'll always add to your shine”
Once she finished singing it through a few times she felt Tommy’s tears turn to sniffles. So she began to gently rock him and continue humming until she felt his breathing even out and the tension leave his body.

“Thank you for taking care of my boy you don’t understand how much he means to me.” Kristin said to Hannah “He’s a part of the family. A big one that’s a bit of a mess but a family still. You know not a single one of us would leave him.” Hannah said. “I know none of you guys would leave him but what about the other family of his. His vigilante family?” Kristin said “If they choose to leave him then it’s their loss because in front of me right now it a wonderful kid who is going to do wonderful things. If they can’t see that it’s on them.” Hannah said.

While Kristin knew Hannah was right she was hoping that should her son accept Nemesis’s offer they wouldn’t completely leave him. He looked up to that group and if they were to leave him it would break his heart and she didn’t want to think of what he could do if he truly felt abandoned.

Notes:

So I haven't abandoned this fic life has just gotten a little hectic and also writers block. I'll try to post another chapter before the year is over but no promises. Some how this fic has reached 13k hits which is wow. That's a pretty big number so thank you all so much for the support. It's crazy to think of that number but here I am. Seriously you guys are all amazing and I appreciate each and every one of you. If you want to leave a comment I respond to everyone. If you make anything feel free to tag me TikTok: MehTired Twitter: MehTired1. Highly recommend following my twitter if you can important updates will be taking place there as well as somewhat funny things I post. If you ever need to talk or vent my Twitter DMs are open. Have a good day/night wherever you are remember to eat/drink something and remember out of the 8 billion people on this planet not a single one is the same as you.

Chapter 27: Announcement

This fic may be discontinued and deleted due to recent events that have happened in the community. I no longer feel comfortable writing about the characters played by these people. If I can I will try to continue it just with some certain people killed off. However this may not be possible and I may just rewrite entirely. Always remember you do not know these people and always support victims.

Notes:

The council has made a decision to post this chapter. Like my last fic this won't have an update schedule but I will try to post once a week. I also don't have a set word count to try and reach but all the chapters should be at least 500 words.
Typos? With my side of bird brain. Never! (Please let me know)
