    Summary

    “Wh— what?” Tommy choked out, his voice hoarse from the lack of use all day.

    The man rolled his eyes, as if he didn’t just ask a completely impolite question. “I said, do you have any booze?”

    Tommy sat still. He reached into his jacket pocket, his hand finding only a plastic pen. Could he stab this man with a plastic pen?

    Tommy pulled said piece of plastic out, visibly holding it up. “I have a pen.” Something about the bemused look on the man's face made Tommy click it, and again, repeatedly.

     

    click click click click click click click click—

     

    ...

    or; Tommy planned on dying. He meets Wilbur instead.

    Summary

    Six years Tommy has spent his life stuck in this hellish routine of foster care. Thrown from house to house, the boy has long given up on the hope of finding a new home. A new family. Alas, his social worker has not yet given up on this foolish dream and is now sending him to a new family. The Watsons. How is Tommy supposed to feel when this family lives hours out of town, away from people, surrounded by forest? The father seems nice, but that's bound to change. The first brother is bloody terrifying. The second hates his guts. (The feeling is mutual buddy). And now he's stuck with them for Prime knows how long. Oh joy.
    But maybe this family is a bit more than what's at the surface. Maybe, he'll be alright. Maybe.

    Summary

    “W-What do you- I mean can I- are you here to rob us?” The person managed to stammer out.

    Siren snorted. “No. I’m just here to order some food.”

    “Wh-What about him?” The cashier asked, glancing at Tommy. “Did you- did you kidnap him?”

    “I mean… yeah, let’s go with that in case this ends up on the news,” Siren shrugged, looking back at Tommy. “I kidnapped you, right?”

    “Yeah, sure,” Tommy agreed, knowing that if they said he was kidnapped, it would keep people from getting suspicious of why he was seen in public with Siren. “Anyway, can I get the chicken nuggets happy meal, with a coke?”

    or, how Tommy—who is not a hero, or a villain, or even a vigilante—saves the life of one of L'Manberg's most feared supervillains, and accidentally ends up becoming the resident doctor for every supervillain in town (and maybe gets a family along the way too).
