Chapter Text
“404, nice of you to show up.” Dream said, his sword in a holder to his side, a white mask covering his face, the mask had a smile on it. The brunette before him scoffed, “shut the hell up piss baby.”
“You love me, Georgie.” Dream cooed and tried to steal a kiss from George who pushed him away, “get away from me, idiot.” George glared, messing with the string of his bow that was on his back, the string over his chest. “We have a job to do.”
Dream groaned, “you’re always all business.”
“I have a code I need to finish, so tell me what we’re facing.”
“A bank robber,” Dream said and poked George’s white framed ‘goggles’, “says they can take our powers or some shit.”
George huffed, “do they think we’re from Bloody Miraculous Ladybug?”
“Does this mean I get to be SpiderMan?” Dream asked as the two jumped from roof to roof, towards the police sirens.
“What?” George asked, looking at him.
“What?”
George chuckled, he had a dark blue face mask to cover his nose and mouth while he had his goggles to hide his face, Dream’s mouth was exposed under the white plaster mask, George always kept a green face mask to match his blue one just in case anything happens. Dream just doesn’t know that. Some things aren’t important to share, especially with their job. Like his knee for example.
George was running a little slower than Dream but with the mission of stopping a robber in mind he didn’t notice, they made it to the black van and both were on the roof, George’s balance was a little off, “Dream, you go through the passenger side and get into their heads, I’ll keep the van from crashing.”
Dream nodded and they both opened their doors, Dream touched both villains on the heads and they went limp, allowing George to stop the van.
The heroes left the van and let the police do their thing, while the heroes were approached by reporters, that was the easiest stopping of a villain they had done. Probably because the people they encountered were just humans.
George had his weight off his left leg, leaning into Dream. “Is it true you guys stopped just humans for the first time?” The reporter asked.
“Not the first time, but it’s certainly been a while.” Dream said with a smile, putting his arm around George instantly picking up that something was wrong, “we have an official interview in a few days, meet us there, 4 hasn’t gotten to sleep much and we will be on our way.”
“Thank you for saving us again, Dream and Mr NotFound.” The reporter said, and Dream picked George up with ease allowing George to scoff but wrap his arms around Dream’s neck while Dream ran them to their house.
Once they arrived he brought George to their room and gave him a hoodie and sweats to change into, which he did, Dream changing as well and hanging their hero stuff in a closet.
“You’re hurt.” Dream said, sitting with George who now had his laptop out.
“I’m not.” George said, rolling his eyes as Dream approached him with a makeup wipe to remove his blue eyeshadow and eyeliner. “You are hurt, George, what’s wrong? Ankle? Knee? Hip?”
“Don’t get too cocky, Dream, you aren’t that rough,” George snickered and Dream groaned, “besides, I’m perfectly fine, just a little ache.”
“No work for you tonight then.” Dream removed the laptop from George and shut it.
“What the hell? I’m fine! Plus I need to finish that!”
“George,” Dream cupped his face, “baby, you own the company, they can wait one day without code.”
“It’s for next week.” George mumbled as they heard the door to their house open.
“Next week!” Dream said loudly and Sapnap entered their room, “what’s next week?”
“Hello, Nick.” George said, still having his makeup wiped off.
“George is doing work for next week when he doesn't feel well, he tripped down some stairs and hurt his leg.”
Sapnap chuckled and plopped on the bed, “clumsy bitch” George smacked him upside the head, “go back to your boyfriend, I want time with mine. Alone.”
Sapnap smirked, “I don’t blame you, Gogy, Dream is hot as fuck.” George smacked him again and Sapnap rolled off the bed winking to Dream before leaving the room.
Dream set the makeup wipe on the nightstand and grabbed George, pulling the smaller onto his lap, before turning their tv on.
George curled into Dream and before they could even pick out a movie their phones went off with an alert. There was danger.
“I never get to spend time with my fucking husband.” Dream groaned as George rolled away from him to press a button on his bracelet, changing his clothes into a navy blue outfit, his face mask and goggles also on his face.
George chuckled as Dream followed pursuit in the bracelet mechanics. Their weapons were already on their bodies as well.
“I still feel like we could be in miraculous at this rate.” Dream said as they left the house out their window and ran through the streets. “Dream we aren’t anything like those people. We don’t have time limits or miraculouses.”
“I know but it would still be cool.” Dream whined, his sword had a royal feel to it, to match Dream and George’s royalesk looks. The pure white haired woman who met up with them had a sword, her sword had old wooden ships carved into it. She was in a ship captain outfit matching that of pirates with a large pirate hat on her head, her face mask was white.
“Hello boys.” She tipped her hat to them and ran with them.
“Hello Cap!” Dream smiled and George had a hand on his own left thigh pretending it would help with his knee pain, “Ello Puffy.” George nodded his head.
A brunette with fluffy unkempt brown hair approached them, his face mask was purple to match his purple coat to his steampunk styled outfit, his eyes were covered with steampunk goggles and he had a book on his side with a pen behind his ear. “Father Time!” Puffy linked their arms and the steampunk hero laughed. “Hello Puffy.”
“Time Keeper, glad you could join us.” George said as they approached the site of the villain.
“Yeah well I would have sooner but my boyfriend needed cuddles.” Time Keeper sighed, “what are we looking at exactly Cap? You’re the one who got the alert first.”
“Right, the robber that escaped from police custody has abilities. He froze the bars to get out of the cell and hurt 3 guards with severe frost burns.”
George sighed and lowered the goggles over his eyes to hide his face better, he had lifted them to make sure he could see well enough in the dark even if they were magic and he could see fine.
He felt Dream’s hand on his shoulder and shrugged it off as they approached the police. George could see they were surrounding what appeared to be a teenager who was curled into himself in the middle of the road with ice surrounding him.
George was glad his eyes were covered with the glares he was shooting to the police, the kid was clearly scared.
George pushed through the police and stepped on the ice turning it to steam as he walked to prevent himself from slipping. The teenager looked up at him and held a hand up shooting ice at him. George jumped away from it sliding on the ice. The ice landed on the floor making the other heroes unable to cross without slipping.
The ice George was on steamed around him and he got to his feet, “I’m not going to hurt you.”
“I don’t believe you!” He shouted and aimed at George again, George huffed and moved out of the way, this time staying on his feet.
“You’re hurt, mate, can I at least get you patched up? I know those adults forced you to use your powers for their own benefit.”
“You don’t know what you’re talking about.” He said, sniffling.
George knelt down, now right with the boy, “why don’t I tell you a story that no one, not even my husband knows about mean adults?”
“You are an adult.”
George sighed and lifted his goggles, the makeup that Dream had removed was back. “I wasn’t always an adult.. I started this stuff back when I was 16 years old.”
“Really?”
George nodded, “but I wasn’t a hero, not at first. I moved to America because back in London my Mum had forced my powers to surface too soon. Kids don’t get them till 16. I have had mine since I was 5.”
The teen gasped, “what?” George turned to the other heroes, making sure they still couldn’t hear him. “My mum was forcing me to use my powers to steal things and hurt people so she could have power over other people..”
“Were you okay though?”
George’s eyes fixated on the floor, “well.. no but a very nice woman found me and brought me here once I turned 16. She had trained me properly with my abilities and even helped me become okay.. and she actually owns a really big school for kids who have abilities.. and I would really like it if you’d let me bring you there. If you don’t like it, you’re allowed to leave at any time.”
“You’d do that for me? Even after I hurt everyone?”
“The only one who’s hurt here is you.” George smiled and stood up, offering his hand. The teen took it and stood up. “We all have enhanced speed, strength and agility from our training. Dream, will carry you and I’ll be right there with you- we just have a long way to travel.”
“You’ll be there the whole time, right?” He asked and the ice faded allowing the heroes to run over.
“Of course.” George smiled even though it couldn’t be seen. “Dream carry him, we’re going to see my Mum.”
“My name is uhm Andrew.. Everyone usually calls me Drew.” The teen- Andrew -said, “and your mom?”
“His mom owns a school for teens with powers.” Puffy said, “She's a lovely woman, her husband is just as great.”
“Phil and Kristen are wonderful people, Drew, you’ll love them.” Time Keeper explained.
Dream held his arms out and Drew hesitantly stepped forward allowing himself to be picked up. “See you guys tomorrow.” George said and he and Dream were off.
They made it to the school and Dream showed Drew around while George went to talk to Phil and Kristen.
“George?” Kristen asked and ran over hugging him, “let me call the boys to say hi!”
George chuckled, “okay mum, if you insist.”
Kristen smiled wide and took his mask and goggles off, kissing his head before running over to her desk and texting people. Phil walked over and hugged him as well, “hey Kid, where’s Clay?”
“Showing a new student around.. he’s been forced to use his ice for bad so take good care of him for me.” George felt arms around him moments later and chuckled, leaning into the touch, “hello Wil.”
“Hey handsome.” Wil smiled, “Dave and Tommy are fighting again.”
Dream entered the room with the teen and cleared his throat, making Wil roll his eyes and step away from George a little bit, having his hand cover George’s lower face.
Dream rolled his eyes and walked over moving Wil aside to cover George’s face, “Andrew this is Kristen and Phil, my parents, they run this school. Phil is a professor, Wil is a professor, Clay Block is a professor, Karl and Nick are professors and Dave - Wil’s twin is also a professor.”
“Clay Block? Like the billionaire?” Drew asked and Dream and George glanced at each other, hardly containing their laughs.
“Yes the billionaire, George comes and visits him sometimes when he’s on lunch so maybe you’ll get to meet him one day.” Wil said as Tommy and Dave walked in, Dream pulled George closer to him, who only leaned into the touch. Tommy went to yell but Dave covered his mouth, “Dream and 404 are here, Toms, careful with your words.”
Tommy glared and bit Dave’s hand, “hello random person, I’m Tommy. Phil and Kristen are my parents. Unfortunately Wil and Dave were adopted into our family.”
“Tommy, be nice.” Phil sighed, “this is Drew. You, Toby and Ranboo will show him around in the morning, for now bring him to his room please. It’s late and there’s class in the morning, maybe we can get George to come visit in the morning.”
Tommy smiled wide, “Mum set up the appointment! Call the bitch and make him come!”
Kristen chuckled, “sure Toms, please take Drew now, the heroes need to leave.”
“Drew cmon mate! Let’s go meet my pals!” Tommy escorted Drew out and Dream lowered his hand after putting George’s mask back on.
“Lovebug, let’s get you home.” Dream said and went to pick up George who stepped away from him. “In a second Dream, I.. I need to talk to Wil.”
Wilbur allowed himself to be dragged out of the office, “what’s wrong?”
“Technoblade is getting stronger.” He admitted, “But we haven’t heard from him in days.. and I’m worried.”
“Do you need Siren?” Wil asked with a smirk and George nodded slowly.
“Wil, one day we might need to get others involved.” George mumbled and Wil just hugged him, “Gogy, we’ll get this bastard, I promise.”
“I hope so..”

Sapnap, Dream and Karl were all collectively walking through the halls of their school, Karl was showing Sapnap something while Dream was face deep into his phone. The distraction of whatever he was reading was enough to cause him to bump into a much smaller person. A person he had yet to see before.
“Oh bloody hell, I’m sorry.” The brunette said and got to his feet, offering his hand to Dream who took it rather quickly, his cheeks dusted pink.
The man before him was absolutely stunning.
“Oh it’s alright!” Dream scratched behind his head, “I uhm I’m Clay.”
The brunette hummed, “Ello, I’m George.”
“You’re new!” Sapnap pointed out and Dream pointed to his ravenette friend, “This is Nick.”
“And gorgeous.” Karl chimed in, this time George’s face turned pink, “also, I’m Karl.”
“Oh well it’s nice to meet you guys, it’s my first day and I should head to English.” George said not wanting to disturb the group longer, he was sure they all had better things to do. He had noticed Nick and Clay had rather well decorated varsity jackets, with awards for things they’ve accomplished, Clay had slightly more. But they also had some personalization; Clay had pins relating to Minecraft and one of what appeared to be the bisexual, if George remembered correctly. Nick had skater related pins also with a bisexual flag. He also noticed Karl had pins on the straps of his backpack, a pansexual flag, some cute mushrooms and frogs and a few cheerleading related ones.
George took note that the hoodie he was wearing had ‘Armstrong’ on the front, which matched the name on Nick’s varsity jacket. Clay’s read ‘Block’.
“We actually all have English next, you can walk and sit with us,” Dream mumbled, “if you want.”
George nodded and made his way to class, observing the group of boys he managed to get himself into. He had a mental note to invest in pins later on.
“You’re dog water.” Karl spat, his face centimeters from Sapnap’s.
“Kiss already.” Dream said, peeking up from his laptop, the two pulled their faces from each other, both red and embarrassed.
George could tell he would love this group forever.
-
“Tommy wanted to see you, he’ll be in Phil’s room next period.” Dream said to the brunette sitting on his desk.
“He’s in Dave’s room now, I can just go see him there. You have work to do now anyway.”
“Not much, I’ll go with you.” Dream said, setting his pen down and standing up but George shook his head, “Love, I’ll be fine, it’s just Dave’s room, it’s not like Technoblade will show his face while I’m a room away.” Dream hesitated before letting out a shaky sigh.
“Just be careful.”
George grabbed Dream’s arm, “Why are you being so weird?” Dream tugged his arm away, “You should catch him before the bell rings.” Was all Dream answered with and George left Dream’s classroom without a goodbye and eventually went to his office without bothering to see Dream.
*
“Sir, pro hero Dream was just arrested for conspiring with Technoblade.” A woman announced after bursting into George’s office, her name tag read ‘Cara’ and she was George’s assistant.
George let out a breath, “good, those selfish heroes deserve to be put down for good, they’ve only hurt the city and forced more villains to come out.” George scoffed, “I’m glad the truth is out about how bad they are.”
Cara glanced at the camera in the corner of the room but noticed George’s left eye flicker blue out of his deep rooted irritation at the news. “They haven’t revealed who he is, apparently his partner can make his mask stay on his face. They literally can’t take it off.”
“I’m sure he’s suffering greatly at the risk of his face being exposed, I heard he has facial dysphoria from some gossip.” George picked at his nails and chewed the inside of his cheek, anyone could be watching the cameras or listening, he couldn’t risk anything. “I actually have to call an early day, Clay is sick.”
“So I heard! Send him my best regards!” Cara kept a tight smile as George left the office, he didn’t relax till he was back home.
“Why are you here?” Sapnap asked and George frowned, “Nick, I have to tell you something about Clay and Myself.”
