Chapter Text
The City of L’manberg was always fairly busy. The streets were always occupied with cars and people. The city was never quiet.
It also happened to be the city where the top Hero’s roamed.
L’manberg was basically a crime magnet. You could find small muggings in pretty much any ally way that you walked into.
But small crimes such as muggings or drug dealings weren’t what attracted Hero’s.
It was the Villains of the City. Specifically Jshlatt. One of the most feared criminals. He basically runs the crime that goes on. A bunch of small villains beg on their knees, wanting to work for Shlatt, just so they could have an opportunity or whatever.
That’s what hero’s are attracted to. Why? Because the bigger the crime, the more attention is attracted. And the more attention there is, the more fame there is.
So naturally, Vigilant’s became a thing. And not surprisingly, the numbers of vigilance has became overwhelming.
And Oh boy did the Hero’s not like that.
Not only that, Vigilant’s began to spread amongst city’s. The citizens slowly started to warm up to them, and soon enough, became dependent on them.
And that’s where Avian comes in.
Pogtopia’s lovable Vigilante.
You see, Pogtopia was a small city located right next to L’manberg. Nothing huge happened here often. Just your average robber or drug dealer. Nothing rare.
A few months ago, a Vigilante that goes by “Avian” mysteriously popped out of nowhere.
And it sure as hell wasn’t a bad thing.
Everyone in town knew him, and most adored him. He was kind, and extremely social. Made most people laugh, and he got his job done quite well.
He would pop in, get the job done, make the victim laugh, and then he was gone.
He was also fairly easy to recognize. He was a good height, 6’0 at least. He wore a red turtle neck, with a black leather jacket that went a bit past his hips. Black ripped jeans with black boots. A gas mask that covered the bottom half of his face, while a pair of goggles sat over his eyes.
But clothing wasn’t the only thing that made him stand out like a sore thumb. On Avian’s lower back, a pair of red and golden wings ( that grew to be at least 12-13 inches ) sat. They were too thin to actually fly, but Avian could glide down from great heights. He was also a bit faster then most.
Point is, he was a chaotic Vigilante that everyone loved.
And everything would be fine, is what Tommy would say if everything was actually fine.
But obviously, since the world can’t handle Tommyinnit’s greatness, something had to go wrong.
And that something happened to be the Top 3 Hero’s (aka Big T’s idols) hearing about the great vigilante Avian.
Just fucking perfect.
So, here’s how this shit went down.
___________________
It was currently 10:34 at night. The time when Avian, or big T, does his daily rounds. He was currently sitting on the edge of a 4 story building. Nothing really happened that night. He helped an old lady get to her car, and stopped a small mugging, but that was the usual.
Tommy was craving crime. You know, the type where someone (preferable himself) gets to start stabbin shit?
Yeah, that type of crime.
But sadly it seems that wouldn’t be happening anytime soon, with the way that Tubbo is literally humming through his ear piece, looking for any near by action.
And only God knows what Tubbo would do if Tommy came home after causing slight terrorism. ( To be fair, he was already considered illegal )
But damn was Tommy bored.
And as if it were like the Gods were listening, Tubbo’s static voice filled Tommy’s ear, making him jump a good few inches into the air.
“Tommy, there’s a robbery happing down the street, too the right, 7 buildings down.”
Oh fuck yea
“I’m on it Big T, mind giving any details about the event?”
“Uh, from what I can see, there are 3 robbers, and 6 hostages.”
“Geez, this is going to get messy. Can you access their security cameras and see what weapons they have?”
“Yeah, give me a sec.”
Tommy was currently 2 buildings away, and could hear what sounded to be shouting, coming from inside the store.
“Damn, robbing a clothing store? How low are these guy’s standers???”, Tommy noted to himself, frowning.
Tubbo snorted through the ear piece.
“Well, two of the robbers have guns, and one of them has a bat.”
“Wait, one of them have a bat? That’s so stupid.”
“Yeah well, it’s pretty stupid that your just watching a crime go off and doing nothing about it,”
“Shit, wait.”
Avian made his way to the bottom of the building ( yes he jumped off ), ducking into the shadowed areas.
“Alright, time to shine”, Tommy said with a grin like no other.
With a dramatic door kick, Avian entered the scene.
“WHATS GOING ON FUCKERS?!”
Everybody who was in the store jumped from the surprise entree. The cashier (who currently had a gun pointed at him) started to smile a bit when he realized who was in charge of the dramatic scene. So did the hostages.
But unlike them, the robbers frowned because they knew they were royally fucked. Obviously.
“I do have to say gentleman”, Avian started, “It is quite a sad sight to see three dirty ass men robbing a clothing store at 10:00 at night. Like, really? A clothing store? Why not a gas station or something??”
The cashiers hopefully smile was completely wiped from his face and replaced by an unamused expression.
Wonder what his deal is.
“Oi kid, get the hell out of here, before things get messier than they have to be.”, One of the robbers spoke.
The gun that was once pointed at the cashier was now pointed at Tommy, which was just what Tommy wanted. (It really wasn’t)
“One last chance kid. Walk out that door or thing get rough.”
As fucking if.
“Those are some pretty shit last words there, Big man.”
In just the blink of an eye, Avian was sprinting behind one of the robbers, carefully sliding behind him and kicking him hard in the back of the knee.
Pretty sure he heard a crack.
The idiot fell. Tommy used this time to quickly head for the other 2 guys.
A bullet flew straight past Tommy’s head, just barley missing his skull. His heart stopped for a good 5 seconds before quickly regaining himself and focusing on the fight.
Avian pulled out his baton, swinging it towards the man who was shooting at him. It took him a couple swings, but he eventually hit the guys in the back of his head, knocking him unconscious, but not killing him, thank god.
The last guy took a run for the door after seeing Tommy’s greatness in action.
Pussy.
The Dude was barley out the door when he was stopped by a couple of local police men. One of the hostages must have called them when everyone was distracted.
A few officers came into the building, taking care of the hostages and retrieving the men on the floor.
The head of the police team, Officer Nook, approached Tommy.
“Hello there Avian.”
Tommy looked up and greeted the officer with a grin ( That was covered by the gas mask, but it’s the thought that counts-)
“Hello there Big S, how’s it going?”
“It’s going good, glad you got here in time.”
“Hell yea! Who else do you take me for? A wannabe Hero?” Tommy stated while Sam chuckled.
Here in Pogtopia, Hero’s aren’t exactly hated, put the locals don’t really like them. Especially the Police. They all prefer Tommy more ( Who doesn’t? ).
“Well Avian, we thank you again for the help.”,
Sam says as the two walk outside and into the street, passing by a few police men.
“Nah it’s no problem, It’s pretty much my whole brand and shit, ya know? Gata keep my reputation shining Big man.”
While the 2 chuckled to each other, they failed to notice 2 major hero’s walking by, taking notice of the seen.

Techno was taking a walk with Wilbur (Phil insisted)
Don’t know why he said to go out, especially with it being 10pm.
The 3 hero’s were currently staying in some hotel In Pogtopia. They were assigned to inspect the area, especially due to the amount of Vigilant activity going on.
Over all, the city was fairly quiet. That is until they managed to come across a robbery that appears to have just been takin care of.
There were 4 cop cars and a few people being lead out of the building.
But that’s not what caught both Wilbur and Technos eye.
The top Officer, Sam Nook was talking to the Vigilante Avian. But it wasn’t aggressive, it was like friendly banter. Both were laughing, making jokes in between the conversation.
Wilbur was about to go see what was going on, until he happen to make eye contact with a certain Vigilante.
It took him a second, but as soon as it hit him, he went through all 5 stages of grief in just a few seconds.
Emotions such as excitement, fear, confusion, and anxiety all flashed in his eyes before he settled on Fear.
The boy booked it.
And when Wilbur says he booked it, he means the boy was running away so fucking fast you could barley see his goddamn legs.
And just like that, he was gone.
Techno turned to look at Wilbur with what looked to be a confused look. Wil returned it.
The hell was that?
