    Summary

    “Are you—fucking mad?” Sentinel heaves.
    “You asked for me,” Tommy pants, trying not to show pain but knows he’s not succeeding as he heaves air like a man starved. “You asked the heroes to hand me over in exchange for the hostages. You’ve seen me fight. Zyghost knows too.”
    He knows that Tommy can’t jump anymore, but that’s all of it. Maybe they’re thinking his electricity and power shocks is something tied to his teleportation, but they can’t know the true extent of Tommy’s “power” and he’s pretty sure that that is what’s keeping him alive.

    “You want to poke me,” he hisses, although it doesn’t sound nearly as threatening as he wants, when he’s so goddamned tired and hurt and fucking aching.
    “You want to prod me. You want to figure out my powers. Either you think I’m your new bargaining chip or your new protégé you want to torture into submission,” he spits, hitting the nail on its fucking head when Sentinel freezes in his sights. “Well I’m fucking neither. I’m Theseus, illegal fucking vigilante and two of your hostages happened to be my family.

    “And this is personal, bitch.”


    Or: Being a vigilante isn’t simple—or legal—but Tommy refuses to sit on the sidelines.

    Summary

    Tommy doesn't know what else to do. No matter what he does, his family seems to ignore him.

    They're always busy, always choosing something else over him.

    He decides that it's about time they give him some attention, even if that means forcing them to pay attention to him.

    Or, more accurately, forcing the heroes Siren, The Angel (of death), and The Blood God to pay attention to him, through any means necessary.

    Neglected Tommy becomes a villain, just to get the attention of his father and adopted brothers. Angst-heavy, with a lot of child neglect :)
    VERY heavily influenced by "you were never my heroes (forget me not)" by aceofsun on ao3... they wrote a one-shot based off of a tumblr prompt, and I fell in love with the idea.

    Summary

    “Be my apprentice,” Icarus blurted.

    Tommy blinked. Gradually, the corners of his mouth dropped into the deepest frown he’d ever made. “What the fuck? Why?”

    “Why?” Icarus froze and Tommy raised a judgemental eyebrow. “It’s because of your powers.”

    “My powers,” he echoed. “I never told you whether or not I had powers.”

    “I can… sense them,” Icarus bullshitted. Tommy pinched the bridge of his nose.

    “Right. What are they, then,” he retorted.

    “Uh… super… powers,” the villain answered, sounding more unsure of himself by the second.

    Tommy wanted to bash his head against a wall. “Really? That’s the best you could do?”

    ------

    Tommy isn’t sure why handing someone their keys is such a big deal, but now he’s left with a huge problem: Every supervillain in the city wants him to be their apprentice!

    - or -

    Tommy’s lame superpower turns out to be a game-changer.

    Summary

    His name was Tommy Innes, and he was born to touch the stars.

    Of course, touching the stars was going to have to wait, because he'd lost that dream the moment his parents had died when he was ten years old—the moment he had watched that starship explosion and felt a bit of his heart die with them. He'd lost that dream when he was transported to prison and then to a place called Pogtopia.

    He'd lost that dream when he watched hundreds of children starve on the streets of Pogtopia. When he and two friends become the lone survivors of the Red Planet's Genocide. When they were rescued, and he was captured again.

    But maybe—maybe one day, he would regain that dream. Maybe he would hunt down the mass murderer that had executed his friends and gain his revenge—but that day was not now, and now he sat in a prison and stared at the faraway stars.

    Perhaps there would be people that he could call family again. People he would see again—people whom he had lost years ago. One day.

    Because he was an Avian, born to be forever alone amongst broken stars.

    And Avians did not fall unless they wanted to.
