While Robotnik was busy outside scanning Sonic's footprints, Tom took the time to hide him in the attic

Tom- alright stay here and be quiet

Sonic- good plan, great plan. We're working together so well together, we're practically finishing each other's sentences

Y/N- you sure he's gonna be safe up here

Tom- I hope so, come on

The two head outside while Robotnik was still busy investigating

Tom- hello there, can I help you

Robotnik- good morning my rural chums, I'm from the power company investigating the blackout. If you don't mind, I'd like to take a few readings inside

Tom- no kidding you're from the power company, you must know my buddy Spencer, we played softball together

Robotnik- Spencer, he's a good man

Tom- come on in great, take all the readings you need except the power company usually takes their readings from outside the house. That way they can check even if you're not home, also my buddy Spencer works for the gas company, he's more of an ultimate frisbee guy so you wanna tell me why you think I'm dumb enough to just let you walk inside my house

Y/N- and do you even have a warrant

Robotnik secretly sends his robots to investigate the house

Robotnik- I'm sorry mr-

Tom- Wachowski, but everyone calls me Tom...except my dentist, he calls me Tim. But its gone on for so long that it would be weird if I corrected him...and this is my daughter

Y/N- hi, I'm Y/N

Robotnik- well Tom who's dentist calls him Tim....and Y/N, you may have noticed that this entire town has been experiencing a power outage

Tom- yeah no lights, picked up on that

Robotnik- 20 minutes ago I tracked an energy pulse with a similar signature to the one that caused that disruption

Tom- listen uh mr-

Robotnik- doctor, Dr.Robotnik...but my dentist calls me Rob

Tom- listen uh Dr.Robotskis, I'm sure what you're here for is very serious but it's got nothing to do with us, you can ask anyone in town, everyone knows me

Y/N- not sure how many people know me though

Robotnik- I bet they do, I'm sure you're hella popular with Jebs and Merles and Billy Bob's and his glorified gas station rest stop. Let's go way back to the days of tipping cows and they're not a jug band. Maybe someday you'll achieve your goal getting the Costco card or adopting a labradoodle but the reality is, I surpassed everything you're ever going to do. Before I was a toddler, I was spitting out formulas while you were still spitting up formula

Tom- I was breastfed actually

Y/N- TMI dad

Robotnik- nice, rub that in my orphan face. Mr. Wachowski are you familiar with US code 904 title 10 article 104. Anyone who attempts to aid an enemy of the United States shall suffer death....and if I'm the one that catches you, it'll be even worse

Tom- worse than death?

Meanwhile, a robot had reached the attic and was scanning for Sonic

Sonic- I hope they aren't scanning me with X-rays, I kind of had an embarrassing lunch. Don't freak out, don't freak out, don't freak out....I'm freaking out!

He rolls down from the attic catching everyone's attention

Tom- old pipes

Robotnik- yeah probably just the house settling, nothing to see here

He pushes Tom aside and walks inside the house to find a raccoon on the table

Y/N- how did that get inside

Robotnik: here's the thing, I'm never wrong

Tom- oh first time for everything I guess, would you like some cake, I hear raccoons have the cleanest mouths of any animal that routinely eats garbage

Robotnik happened to notice Sonic's quill on the side of the table

Robotnik- look at that, I was right. Note the lack of surprise, shall me try this again

A robot flies in, aiming its weapons at Tom and Y/N

Robotnik- I'm going to give you 5 seconds to tell me where it is. Five...

Tom- I don't know what you're talking about

Robotnik- four...

Tom- hey tough guy I'm a cop, you're threatening an officer along with a child

Robotnik- how can you threaten someone who's never existed. Three...

Y/N- dad *getting scared*

Robotnik- come on, you might be able to come up with some lame excuse to go on living in two....one!

Sonic- wait, don't hurt them

Robotnik screams at the sight of Sonic and gets sucker punched in the face by Tom. He grabs Sonic and Y/N's arm and takes shelter as the robot starts firing at them

Sonic- this feels excessive

Y/N- what do we do

Tom- stay behind me

Sonic climbs on top of the furniture and jumps on the robot causing it to shoot wildly

Sonic- don't worry, I got it right where I want it

Y/N- watch where you're aiming that thing!

Sonic- can you believe Amazon is gonna deliver packages with these things....this was a horrible plan, what was I thinking, I'm gonna puke

Tom grabs the closets object he can find and whacks the robot with it

Tom- come on, we gotta get out of here

Sonic- don't tell me that's all you got, I'm just getting started. Let me know if you wanna go round 2 with the blue

The all head inside Tom's truck and drive away right before Agent Stone arrives at the house

Stone- doctor, are you ok? I just saw a guy and a girl race out of here and thought-

Robotnik- that you should stop them?....open your mouth and say that you thought that you should stop them

Stone- no I thought that maybe I should check to see if you're okay

Robotnik- you know what's hard about being the smartest person in the world

Stone- everyone else is stupid

Robotnik- yes way to go, you got that one. Whatever this creature is, it's our job is to secure it, neutralize it, uncover the source of its power....and if it resists, we take it apart piece by piece. See what makes it tick...Stone

Robotnik- doctor

Stone- call optical illusions, tell them I need new frames. Do you know what kind I like...oh, bring that quill

Stone- yes doctor
