Work Text:
“Get back here you filthy rats, stop running from us,” Siren screamed towards Tommy and me.
You are probably wondering how me and my brother got into this predicament. Well, let's backtrack. It all started when my brother and I decided we would do some vigilante work today.
It started as it always does. Tommy and I got into our gear and told Tubbo we were going to start patrolling. Tommy took to the skies while I ran with my enhanced speed. Tubbo told us through the coms that there was a mugging happening two blocks away from where we were.
We got there to find two big men pointing a gun at a lady around twenty years old, yelling at her to give them her jewelry. She looked very high class which is weird because you don’t see that type of people around this district. I looked at Tommy and I knew that we were thinking the same thing.
“Oi, Bitches, stop being a dick and pick on someone your own size,” Tommy shouted at the men.
They turned towards us and we worked simultaneously. People say it’s weird but I guess it is a twin thing. I took the guy on the left while Tommy had the guy on the right.
The guy I had was in a black hoodie and jeans, he looked like he didn’t skip a meal with his beer belly he had going on. He pointed his gun at me and tried to shoot at me but I dodged each bullet with my speed. With each dodge, I started making my way to him before I knocked the gun out of the guy's hand.
He couldn’t act quickly enough before I punched him in the face, making him tumble backward. I grabbed one of my daggers and swung at the man. It made contact with his sleeve but he managed to get a punch in. I doubled over in pain that shot in from my stomach. I hissed at him, showing my teeth before I turned just in time to see him trying to throw another punch my way.
I dogged it and grabbed his arm to twist it until I heard that satisfying crack sound. The pathetic man yelled out in pain and I kicked his back making him fall face-first into the ground. He tried getting back up again but I kicked his head with my super strength. Effectively knocking him out cold.
I turned to Tommy, making sure he was holding his own before turning to the woman.
“Are you okay ma’am?” I said trying to not show her my fangs. My vampire traits can be quite frightening to people.
“Y-yes I am, th-hank y-you so much” she stammered out before running away.
I shrugged my shoulders before I looked over and saw the guy that Tommy was fighting, knocked out cold.
“Well done Icarus, and there is no blood on your wings. Impressive” I tease my brother walking over to him with a smile on my face.
“Could say the same about you Nightfang, you didn’t mind control or suck his blood. That is so fucking rare,” He shoots back.
“One, I didn’t feel like drinking blood, I ate before we came out. Two, I didn’t see a need to control him. That would have been a waste of energy.” I replied
Just as I was about to say something else, Tubbo's voice cracked to life in our makeshift coms
“Guys you need to get out of there, the heroes are on their way. I repeat the heroes are on their way” Tubbo’s voice showed worry.
I looked at Tommy and we both ran out of the alleyway. Just as we turned the corner we spotted Siren and Blade walking towards us. The top 3 heroes then proceeded to chase us. Tommy and I may or may not be on their top list of wanted vigilantes. This leads us to the present
“Get back here you filthy rats, stop running from us,” Siren screamed towards Tommy and me.
Now, it is easy to outrun the Siren because of my traits but the Blade is where I have issues. The Blade and I have the same speed and strength. Which is honestly the worst. It is also why he is trailing me and not Tommy at the moment.
“Turn down this street and make a left followed by a right. There is an abandoned warehouse where you can lose them” Tubbo’s angel's voice speaks up.
If it weren’t for Tubbo, Tommy and I would probably have been caught so many times.
I looked over to Tommy and saw that the Siren was catching up to him. I have to do something. Without thinking I quickly turned around and ran around the Blade towards Tommy. The Blade was running so fast that he had a problem stopping, causing him to not catch me.
I grabbed one of my daggers and ran straight toward Siren. I lifted my blade and jumped onto Siren, making both of us fall to the ground. I got on top of Siren and slashed at his chest. Not enough to kill him but enough to draw blood and probably leave a scar.
Just then a force knocked me off of Siren, It was Blade. I struggled against his hold but he was strong. Even though we had the same enhanced strength, he was stronger. He worked out. I didn’t.
Blade held a sword to my neck making me hiss. I tried scratching at his hands but he wouldn’t move. He pressed the blade closer to my skin, A small line of blood started to drip from my neck. But before he could do more damage I panicked and started to speak.
“I'm asking nicely, get off of me and put your sword away, give me what I want ,” I said in a panic. He can’t resist the mind compulsion and gets off of me.
As soon as he does I gasp out, trying to catch my breath. I look up and see Tommy running towards me. He must have thought I was behind him and ran toward where Tubbo said to go.
“C’mon Nightfang, we have to go before this dickhead snaps out of it,” Tommy said while helping me up and we ran the way Tubbo said. As soon as we got there Tommy laid me against the wall.
The cut on my throat and bruise on my stomach have healed already but it left me drained. I slid down the wall and put my head on my knees.
I heard Tubbo talking to Tommy on the coms but I couldn’t focus on that. Their voices were fuzzy. I was so tired that I didn’t realize that Tommy told Ranboo to come and get us. Well mostly me cause Tommy can’t carry me with his wings yet.
Ranboo teleported to our location and walked up to me.
“Hey Athena, I’m going to take you back to our place, okay?” They said, waiting for me to give consent for him to pick me up. I nodded my head and they put their hands under my knees and on my back.
He teleported us back to our house, as I am assuming Tommy is flying back home. When we got home he put me in my room before walking out so I could change.
I take off the fabric that covers my eyes so I can see better. Tubbo designed it to where I can see but it covers my identity. I don’t have anything that covers my mouth as that would be useless because of my fangs. Taking down the hood to the hoodie I was wearing that covers my hair so only a little of my blonde hair is shown. I then take off my dark blue hoodie that has white sleeves. Or should I say had white sleeves? My blood stained the top half. I then just put on some random shirt that I had lying around.
I release a breath before I move on to taking off my utility belt that had all of my daggers on them. They are my prized possessions. Once that is off, I then take off my combat boots that I found on the street. After that I take off my black cargo pants, replacing them with a cheap pair of pants.
As soon as I am done there is a knock on the door. I yell at them to come in and my brother comes through the door.
“Hey Atty, how are you feeling?” Tommy asked in a rare soft tone
“I feel hella tired. I just want to pass the fuck out” I say as I go to the bathroom to wash my face. Also giving Tommy a chance to change out of his clothes.
“Yeah, Blade was being a dick to you, M’sorry I couldn’t help you,” Tommy said as I walked back to the room after making sure he was changed.
“It’s okay Toms, you thought I was behind you. I can see how you would think that,” I say crawling into bed. Me and Tommy shared a room while Tubbo and Ranboo shared a room. It's always like this and I’m not mad at it. I know that money is scarce.
Before Tommy gets into bed he turns off the light and gets into bed on his side. He faces the door while I face the wall. Our back to each other.
“Good night Tommy,” I said in a sleepy tone while closing my eyes
“Good night Athena,” he replied while falling asleep himself.
I know I didn’t have much, but that’s fine. I had my brother and the best’s friends in the whole world.
That is all I could ask for.
