Chapter Text
Well, that could have gone better.
Tommy raced through the night, jumped from rooftop to rooftop as his wings flapped quickly on his back. The red and yellow feathers practically buzzed as his anxiety mounted. He had not one, not two, but THREE heroes on his tail. And to make matters even worse, they were his idols.
Siren, who could control people with just his voice. (And probably breathe underwater or something too, Tommy decided as he leaped, remembering his tall friend telling him about the creatures the name came from.)
The Blade, who's skill with a sword and sheer almost invincibility was second to none. (Tommy had seen him straight-up yeet a criminal into a wall like they were a rubber ball or something)
And finally, Philza. Who was arguably Tommy's favorite. Not because of how kind he was, not because he was the number one hero, but because of a simple reason.
He, like Tommy, was a full-blood avian.
And now he was chasing him.
Tommy turn left! LEFT!
"I heard you, yeesh." Tommy darted to the left, jumping down into a alleyway. His wings slowed his descent enough so he could keep running. He recognized the area, another vigilante patrolled here pretty regularly.
"Care to say why three of the top heroes are chasing you?" Think of the devil, and she shall appear.
"They saw me stopping a mugging"
"Yeah, that'll do it." The girl grabbed his arm and tugged him inside a hole in the wall, motioning for him to be silent.
"Where did he go?"
"He can't have gone far, mate. Calm down."
"He RESISTED my control! I will not calm down!"
Fae turned and looked at Tommy, raising a single eyebrow. He shrugged sheepishly. It's not like he meant to resist Siren's voice, but when life gives you a gift like that you don't think. You book it.
The heroes continued to search, but they couldn't find the two vigilantes. After a while, (it was forever. Tommy's legs had completely frozen up) they left, leaving the teens to venture out once more. Fae checked the road, then waved to Tommy.
"See ya, Icarus." Tommy nodded in response, before the two went their separate ways.
