    Summary

    Siren’s power couldn’t stop the vigilante Vé. Siren is their ace, the hero tower’s last resort when nobody else can catch someone. But he failed. Siren has failed. And maybe he explained it away by saying that Vé’s mysterious power has something to do with that, but that’s not it.

    Vé, in his regular life known as Tommy, is deaf. In a cruel sense of irony, his power is to be able to sense all things around him, including sound- but he can’t quite hear it. When he lost his hearing due to an explosion, he took years to re-learn hearing through his powers. He wasn’t noticed by the media as a vigilante due to how subtle his powers are, but once the public finds out Siren can’t control him, he’s top priority.

    OR;
    Minor vigilante Ve is deaf, and since nobody knew that, when Siren's voice-command powers don't work, everybody assumes he's far more powerful and scary than he is.

    Summary

    Red Chaos was the name the world had bestowed upon him, and Dream had laughed as he dragged Tommy down against his chest in a rough sprawl back against the couch, squeezing him tight after their first official mission together.

    Tommy had done good and Dream had been proud.

    -

    Siren shifts, a look Tommy can’t be bothered to understand flashing briefly before his shoulders roll into a shrug.

    “You saved my life.”

    I know, Tommy thinks, lips drawing back in an ugly grimace. It ruined mine.

    -

    The morning paper lies discarded on the couch beside him with black bold headlines:

    RED CHAOS: HERO OR VILLAIN?

    Summary

    The royal family of Antarctic empire isn’t exactly close.

    Emperor Philza is always occupied; Tommy hasn’t seen Techno in months, and even if Wilbur is here, their relationship can be described to be strained at best.

    The royal family doesn’t need to be close, however, it only needs to be balanced, like the pillars holding the country above their heads – as long as they are strong and steady, the Empire will be too. It’s the principle that held Tommy’s back straight and his shoulders broad through the years of hardships and trials of errors; through yet another formal meeting where his father’s gaze would look past him and where his brother’s words would be filled with poison that makes the deepest parts of his soul ache.

    At that time, Tommy couldn't know that his family would find a replacement for him in the face of a commoner boy named Ranboo.

    ~🦋~

    Tommy's family has replaced him. It's only fair that he gets to do the same.

    Summary

    “Be my apprentice,” Icarus blurted.

    Tommy blinked. Gradually, the corners of his mouth dropped into the deepest frown he’d ever made. “What the fuck? Why?”

    “Why?” Icarus froze and Tommy raised a judgemental eyebrow. “It’s because of your powers.”

    “My powers,” he echoed. “I never told you whether or not I had powers.”

    “I can… sense them,” Icarus bullshitted. Tommy pinched the bridge of his nose.

    “Right. What are they, then,” he retorted.

    “Uh… super… powers,” the villain answered, sounding more unsure of himself by the second.

    Tommy wanted to bash his head against a wall. “Really? That’s the best you could do?”

    ------

    Tommy isn’t sure why handing someone their keys is such a big deal, but now he’s left with a huge problem: Every supervillain in the city wants him to be their apprentice!

    - or -

    Tommy’s lame superpower turns out to be a game-changer.

    Summary

    People had called him many things throughout his life; thief, scum of the earth, a useless little piece of shit-

    Those were the words of stupid men.

    Tommy is Borrower; the greatest, most magnificent supervillain in L'manberg, who is running the whole city, hell- the whole country amok with his glorious powers!
    Tommy is also number eleven on the most wanted villain list. Which needs to be updated, immediately.
    .
    .
    .
    Or; Tommy is a villain called Borrower who can steal powers for a limited amount of time. This is his journey through becoming the number one villain, finding himself a family, defeating a brainwashing Egg, and overthrowing a corrupt Government for one of his acquaintances, while also running the adored Waffle House of the city at sixteen years old.

    Not in that order.
