Chapter Text
"OH FUCK OFF," Tubbo screamed as he fell off the roof of the building he'd previously been standing on. It'd been a long day of job hunting and fighting crime, the life of an unemployed vigilante. His current living situation would be considered poor or inadequate for some, but compared to the alternative, Tubbo was grateful for what he had. You see Tubbo is a 16 year old runaway living in a small apartment with an boy he'd known for about 3 months. His dad, the relatively popular hero J. Schlatt or Fragrance, is not a good person. He was awful to Tubbo and got away with things he shouldn't have. Due to his Tubbo decided to leave and live on his own.
After Tubbo was sure he wouldn't be found he decided to try and make the city a better place. He had worked hard to be where he was, thank the stars for people who had abilities that allowed him to transition. You see Tubbo also happened to be transgender and decided to pursue that part of him after he ran away. He then became a vigilante and was working to get a stable job. Unfortunately helping people of the city didn't pay well. There was an old lady who gave him cookies once. He and Ranboo enjoyed them greatly later that night. The little things made doing what the corrupted hero society couldn't worth it. Tubbo didn't need compensation other than knowing people are happy and safe.
Back to falling off the roof. Tubbo had been distracted, he was looking for something to do, the police radio had been static for the past hour, it was just a strong gust of wind that pushed him. Tubbo cursed as he got up and dusted himself off. He was about to call it when he heard a report coming in about a house fire just a couple blocks away. The young boy got going leaping from a dumpster and climbing a fire escape to get back on the roof. He could see the smoke rising in the distance as he ran, hopefully he could get everyone out of the building before they were seriously injured or killed.
As Tubbo approached the building he could hear the wails of a woman. She was carrying an infant and based on what Tubbo could make out she had a son and a daughter still in the building. He rushed in and ran up several flights of stairs before hearing the quiet screams of children. As Tubbo got closer to the voices he could tell that the kids were trapped in a room and if he went in he couldn't use the same exit. Crossing his fingers he hoped that the three-story drop was survivable. He practically crawled in towards the sight of two kids around seven and five, "Hey guys grab onto me! I'm going to get you to your mom." Tubbo instructed. They did as they were told while the vigilante peeked out the window. There was a bush right below them. As he jumped Tubbo shielded the kids with his body. On his way down the boy suddenly remembered that his chances of surviving a drop this height was about 50/50, all he could hope for was that the children would be okay.
THUD. The three kids landed in the bush, which was surprisingly thick. As Tubbo came to his senses he shot up looking and the little kids who had ran to their mom for comfort. He smiled as the fact they were okay. In the distance he could here sirens, he got up as fast as he could wincing at a pain along his abdomen, he must've bruised it in the fall. He was about to leave when he saw the mother pointing to him, she was talking to a man in a red, blue, and yellow hero suit. Wilbur Minecraft, or as the public referred to him, The President. It is a pretty lame hero name if you asked Tubbo, the rest of The Presidents family had cooler names. You see the Minecrafts are a hero family commonly called Sleepy Boys Inc. There is, Philza Minecraft or The Angel of Death, he is the father. Next is aforementioned Wilbur Minecraft, he is the oldest child along with his twin brother Technoblade. Now that was a cool name, Technoblade or if you prefer his hero name, The Blood God, is a big man. The youngest child is Tommy Minecraft or Theseus, he is the same age Tubbo and only can do small missions. The mom of this wild bunch is Kristen Minecraft, her retired hero name was The Goddess of Death, but now she’s a counselor for heros.
Wilbur looked at the boy and Tubbo knew he was screwed, "Hey kid!" The hero shouted. This was bad, vigilantism is against the law and Tubbo could be put away for a long time. So he did want any rational person would do. He booked it. Flinching from his bruised body the young boy ducked into an alley The President not far behind him. Tubbo knew he couldn't do this for much longer so he decided to use his power he ran into the backdoor of some technology store and touched a computer. Tubbo's power is to communicate, and in some cases control, emotions and thoughts to any sentient being. This could include computers for some reason. Of course his power was also iffy with humans presumably because of how complicated they were. The devices in the store flickered on as Tubbo used his ability. They began to blast the first song Tubbo could think of, it was by Ranboo's favorite artist something called Lemon Demon. The lyrics blasted almost incomprehensibly, "OLD GODZILLA WAS HOPPIN' AROUND-" the vigilante was sprinting out of the store leaving behind a confused and slightly disoriented hero.
20 minutes later Tubbo was home and Ranboo was on the couch, "You ran into a burning building and then jumped out of a window three-stories up?!"
"Sorry for worrying you big man. I saved some lives and got chased by The President."
"I noticed," Ranboo said turning up the volume on their TV, "Vigilante Icarus is then seen running from the scene chased by major hero The President." Oh yeah Icarus. The name was coined after a relatively well known news source came out with a story about him. The article compared him to Theseus because of the the similarities in age. It also stated his "reckless behavior" was akin to Icarus flying too close to the sun. They continued talking about random things for a while before heading to sleep. Just another day in the life of a teenage vigilante.
