Black and White(A TommyInnit Vigilante Story)

Chapter Eight: Powers

Tommy entered his flat and found his roommates lying on the couch playing MarioKart. "Hey Tommy!" They greeted him, eyes locked on the screen. "Guys I have to tell you something." Tommy began. "It's about my powers." Tubbo and Ranboo both looked over at Tommy, surprised. "I thought..." Tubbo began. "Listen, it's a long story, and I promise to tell it, I just want to show you some examples first." Tommy lifted up his sleeve, showing his bruised wrist. He placed his other hand on his wrist, wincing at the touch, and focused. His arm started to glow white, and the bruise slowly went away, until it no longer glowed or hurt. "Tommy, that's awesome! You're like The Captain!" Tubbo said. "Tubbo, that isn't all. I told you I would show you examples, yeah?" He went over to the TV and put his hand on top of it. Suddenly, the TV shut off. Ranboo glanced over at Tommy, suddenly understanding. "You have more than one power, don't you?" He questioned. Tommy nodded, glad he understood. "I can do a beginners level of every power I know about, and I can steal powers if I touch someone. So I can tell if you have powers or not just by touching you, and I can add powers to my library by touching someone and taking their power. Here, Tubbo, come here, let me show you." He gently grabbed Tubbo's wrist, then walked over to the window, calling a small horde of bees to land on the windowsill. Tubbo was in awe as he used his powers to send the bees back to their hive. "When I steal powers, the person I stole it from still has those powers, I just also get it. I think it is called reflection or something, because since I stole their powers, any attempt to use their powers to hurt me will be deflected, since I have the same powers. However, it takes a lot out of me to use my powers for defence, and it's hard to switch mid doing something. I need to be concentrating on switching to a new power." They sat in silence for a second before Tubbo spoke up. "Tommy, that is the coolest thing I have ever heard!" Tommy smiled for a second, but then he became serious. "Listen, you can't tell anyone I have powers. Something happened last time I told someone about them, and I don't want to repeat that time in my life. I trust you guys." The two nodded, and Tommy smiled at them. "Alright, who's up for MarioKart!" He yelled, putting his hand back on top of the TV, turning it on. The three spent the rest of the night playing games and laughing.

Tommy woke up and got dressed for work. More vigilantes had sprung up, some good, some bad, and he was a bit more on edge after hearing that SBI would be coming after him on the news. As he walked in the door to Bad's Muffin Shop, he saw Bad leaning against the counter, tear tracks staining his face. "Tommy, I'm sorry, but I have to close the shop. If I ever reopen, you will be the first to know, you always have a job here." Bad said. "I'm sorry Bad. I know how much this shop means to you. Make sure to keep in touch." Tommy responded. But on the inside, he was cursing.

FUCK

JOBLESS

EEEEEEEEEE

MONEY!!!!

NOOOOO

Tommy didn't know what to do. WIthout the money he was getting paid, they would be unable to pay rent. He left the shop with his last paycheck from Bad, half angry, half sad. He would have to find a new job.

Later that night, after he told Tubbo and Ranboo the news, Tubbo gave him a mischievous glance. "Tommy, I can get you an interview for a job." Something about the way he said it sounded off, but Tommy ignored the feeling. "Yes Tubbo! I don't care what it is, sign me up!" "Okay Tommy, whatever you say..."

I think my explanation of Tommy's powers was really confusing, but I hope you guys got the gist. Guess where he's going to work? Lmao, it's kinda obvious, but whatever. Hope you all are doing well and enjoying the story! Believe me, there's a lot more to come! Have a good day/night! <3
