    Summary

    The guard stared at him for a moment, blue eyes blown wide behind his mask.

    It was then the Pythia looked down at the hand outstretched between them. The prosthetic was made of intricately carved metal, covered in vines and flowers twisting together with the shimmer of enchantments reflecting in the purple glow.

    And although the guard’s sleeve was covering his wrist, he knew that in the place where metal met flesh, there was a pair of dark angel wings tattooed on his skin.

    He was right. This wasn’t a real guard.

    This was a Deathling.

    or, Wilbur is an oracle known as the Pythia, chosen to receive dreams of the future from the goddess Clara. One day, he receives a dream warning him that during a ball Emperor Schlatt is hosting, the Deathlings—terrorists who worship the goddess of Death—will launch an attack. When his warning goes ignored, he knows there's going to be consequences.

    He doesn't expect one of those consequences to include him getting kidnapped by a teenager.

    Summary

    Tommy's called Blindspot for a reason. He’s not invisible, as he’s reminded Dream time and time again - people can definitely see him. They just don’t notice. He blends into plain sight, totally diverting all attention like water off of a duck.

    Usually, anyway. Orpheus, however, stiffens a little as Tommy draws nearer. He starts glancing around, as if struck by sudden paranoia. Tommy draws up in front of him, staff clenched in one hand, and Orpheus starts turning as if to check behind him.

    “What’s that,” Orpheus mutters. “Who’s there-“

    Tommy pulls his staff back and slams it into Orpheus’s stomach, hard.

    Orpheus stumbles. He wheezes, choking, and then looks up at Tommy and fixes him with a burning stare.

    “Who the fuck are you,” Orpheus says, eyes wild and oddly delighted. “Where were you hiding?”

    __

    Suspected of betraying the Hero Guild, Apprentice hero Tommy (A.K.A. Blindspot) is put under Security Protocol Catbag: a locked-on noise cancelling mask equipped with truth gas. His mentor, Dream, calls it a necessary teaching tool.

    Meanwhile, SBI wants to know why their least favorite loudmouth little Hero has suddenly stopped talking.

    Summary

    “Bullshit. That’s the dumbest thing you could do.”

    “And why would that be?”

    Too many responses to count flashed through Tommy’s mind. This man was going to kill him, there was no denying that. No denying that Tommy had been stupid. That mantra had gotten him through the night, sure, but it wasn’t true, and now he was going to die.

    In the forest, he didn't know what was coming to kill him. Now, though, he knew it would be this man, with his soft cloak and softer eyes, Tommy wasn’t so afraid.

    Might as well encourage him to make it quick.

    “Because I know where you live, you rebel fuck,” he spat. “I know exactly where we are.”

    Summary

    Wilbur’s heart free-falls to the depths of his stomach when Tommy is dragged into the cell.

    “Tommy!” he shouts, voice breaking over his name, body lunging forward against the chains holding him. “Tommy, no, how– how did he get you?”

    Tommy’s eyes widen when he sees him.“Wil–"

    His voice breaks with a small grunt as he's thrown onto his knees at Wilbur's feet.

    ~ after being captured by a villain, wilbur's biggest weakness is used against him. (tommy was never supposed to get involved.)
