#his friend eryn is like a aspiring villain
Text
ok so superhero au where tommy is just,,,,, some guy 
Like he goes to work for sbi (who are top heroes and stuff you know the drill) because he really wants to meet his heros and is kinda tight on money yady yada the unusual plot. But then the vigilante theseus makes his big debut solving crime, fixing problems and stuff, and tommy starts to come to work with visible wounds and bruise. The SBI are immediately sus of him, mainly because all of his excuses are lame- falling down the stairs, tripping over ext- and then tommy starts to passionately talk about greek mythology specifically theseus and techno just fuckign KNOWS that Tommy’s theseus. But no one knows how to tell him that they know without spooking him. and as time goes by and tommy still doesn’t come clean the sbi start to put him in situations where they hope his power will reveal itself to them. Like they lock him in a room but instead of using theseus’s power - matter manipulation- to get out, tommy just,,,,,, picks the lock. They fake a kidnapping and tommy just annoys the kidnappers so much they let him go. And at this point the three are pulling their hair out trying to get tommy to tell him he’s theseus but then they get the bright idea of just asking him themselves and it goes something like this: 
Wilbur: so don’t freak out or anything but we know you’re known vigilant theseus
Tommy: what
Phil: No ones else knows beside from us.
Techno: we were going to wait for you to tell us yourself but wilbur got bored waiting and- 
T: wait no hold up, im not theseus.
all: what. 
T: yeah no that’s my roommate purpled. 
Te: but you really like the story of theseus?
T: Yeah and that’s why i suggested the name in the first place and he couldn’t come up with anything better so,,,,,,,
W: but what about all your strange injuries? weren’t those from being a vigilant?
T: no i never lied to you about where i got them from? I really did fall down the stair 12 times in 1 month. 
P: But you’re in the system with theseus’s power?
T: yeah no so purpled is on the run from some organisation that wants to turn him into a weapon but he needed a job so he pretended to be me when he put himself into the system and no ones noticed yet. 
Te: so what is your power?
T: i can talk to cows.
