Chapter Text
So maybe it wasn’t that good of an idea to go into an interview with a broken leg and fractured wrist, Tommy thought to himself trying his hardest to not limp, it's not like he could skip the interview.
As dumb as it was Tommy knew he needed the job, even if he already had one, but he needed more money because their land lady increased the rent again. he was a vigilante on his way to an interview at the tower, the tower being where the heros are.
Thinking back to this morning he remembered what his roommates had said about his interview, “THE TOWER?? ARE YOU INSANE?!” one of Tommys roommates, Tubbo, yelled after Tommy had said where his interview was, “Tubs calm down he might not even get the job” another one of Tommy’s roommates, Grayson, interrupted. “Yeah Gray’s right, besides we do need the money..” the last of Tommy’s roommates, Ranboo, added.
Tommy sighed so maybe this was a bad idea, after all Tommy was a vigilante known as Cherry bomb he was one of the members of the vigilante team called Bench bros which was him, Nuke, Ender and Purpled, which was illegal but it was too late for him to consider the poor choice he was about to make seeing as he was already there.
Arriving at the tower he went in, he went over to the lady at the reception. The lady, apparently named Kristin, according to her name-tag, greeted him with a smile “hello i'm here for the interview” he said. she smiled giving him a badge “make sure that’s always visible so that Henry can scan it, the elevator is over there” she said pointing towards the elevator “head up to the 50th floor and head into the room labeled ’Interview Room’, you'll have your interview there."
He smiled at her as he walked to the elevator “thank you” he said before he got in and clicked the button for the 50th floor. “It appears you have a broken leg, a fractured wrist and bruises on your back, would you like me to inform Prime heights hospital to come get you?” a robotic voice asked startling tommy.
“No!” Tommy quickly yells “im fine.” he says you know.. like a liar. “I understand, however I am still required to inform a higher up of your injuries”. Tommy sighs as he steps out of the elevator on the 50th floor, he heads to the door and knocks on it.
“Come in!” A male’s voice answers, Tommy opens the door and heads in making eye contact with the number 4 hero Apollo “Thomas Underscore correct?” The brunet male, inquired “oh! Uh yeah, That's me” Tommy quickly answers a bit shaken up by the eye contact quickly looking away.
"You may know me as the hero Apollo but I'd prefer if you could call me by my name, Wilbur." Apollo or rather Wilbur, gives him a strained smile. “Alright, first things first. I need to know if you are ready to deal with any dangers that may come with this job.” Tommy just nods in response to the question, “wonderful, follow-up question, how do you deal with situations of great stress?” Wilbur looks at Tommy waiting for his answer “well.. I suppose it depends on the situation, if it's crime-related like, a kidnapping for example, I'm sure there would be a way of contacting you or if not im ive been to self defence classes so i can take care of myself” Wilbur simply nods in response to Tommy's answer.
“Last question, Why do you want to work here?" Wilbur asks "When I was young, I wanted to be a hero, when I didn't develop any abilities I gave up. I guess the closest thing to that would be working with heroes." Tommy answers looking at Wilbur who seems to have a satisfied look on his face.
Suddenly a certain robotic voice is heard, Henry, “Wilbur, i am required to inform you that mr. Underscore seems to have a broken leg, a fractured wrist and bruises on his back”
Wilbur looks at Tommy shocked.
Silence.
Well fuck.. looks like he’s busted. He’s definitely not getting the job now.
