Where a normal chapter would go, we instead bring you a segment of all my TommyInnits from various superhero AUs meeting one another. Before that, we're going to introduce them. Considering they are all named Tommy, I've decided to refer to them by their super-name; that, at least, is different across all books.

Tempest from Silence of a Somber Day
Reverie from In Shadows We Fight (for justice and ourselves)
Vermillion from The Trick to Falling in Style
Red from Ground Zero

We also bring a special guest! Presenting Vendetta, a Tommy from a story yet to be released that will be called I Love You (Don't You Know)

Now, I'm basically dropping all five of them into a room. They've already been given an explanation and mostly gotten over the shock of meeting themselves from a different universe. We're going to get straight into the questioning!

—

Where did your special name come from?

Tempest: Dream gave it to me after I debuted as a sidekick.

Reverie: Oh, Dream also gave me my name after I debuted as a sidekick!

Vermillion: You two are fucking sidekicks? Cringe. I chose my name because it sounded fucking cool... and the people just started calling me that.

Red: I was issued my name by the government when I joined the Prismatic Initiative.

Vendetta: It's to remind me what my purpose is, avenging my family's death.

Vermillion: That got fucking depressing.

Tempest: I wish my family was dead.

Reverie: I don't think I have a family.

Red: I don't have an opinion on mine. I don't remember them.

Vermillion: Lucky bastard. I know both of my parents. My Dad's dead, but mom is still around.

Tempest: Same! Dad kicked the bucket, but Mom keeps shitting on my life.

What do you think of hero society?

Tempest: Heroes are the pillars of humanity. Society needs them.

Reverie: I don't know. I know a few heroes that shouldn't have their licenses.

Vermillion: The heroes are good people... too good... too forgiving, even...

Red: Hero society exists. What do you want from me?

Vendetta: The guild helps fund my activities, so I can't complain.

Tempest: Did you say guild? I have an association.

Reverie: Also an association.

Vermillion: Fuck if I know what we have. I'm a vigilante, so I don't get mixed up in technical shit.

Red: I work for the Superhuman Safety Commission.

Tempest: Superhuman? Does that mean they help more than just heroes?

Red: Yes, they monitor all of the superhuman society. Prime handles superheroes, XD handles supervillains, and Kristin handles civilians.

Reverie: Wait- those are fucking gods in my world?

Vermillion: Gods? You got divine shit?

Reverie: Don't ask. It isn't pretty.

Vendetta: I don't pay attention to religion. Why pray to gods that have never helped me?

Red: That is a valid point. I have rarely had a reason to pray.

What do you think of villains?

Tempest: They need to be brought in for trial.

Reverie: Yeah, pretty much.

Vermillion: Is there anything else to do with them?

Red: I do not have jurisdiction over villains.

Vendetta: I do what I need to do. If a villain gets in my way, I'll accept the bounty on them.

Reverie: Bounty? What the fuck does that mean?

Vendetta: The Hero Guild issues bounties on superhuman individuals that licensed members of the guild can accept.

Tempest: Shit, man, I just patrol.

Reverie: I do what Dream tells me to do.

Red: I am tasked with eliminating rogue heroes. If a hero breaks the law, I am meant to deal with them.

Vermillion: I only carry out business in Logstedshire.

What is your technical status?

Tempest: I am the number one hero's, Dream's, sidekick.

Reverie: I was Dream's sidekick. Now, I run a training facility for upcoming heroes.

Vermillion: I'm a vigilante.

Red: As I have said, I eliminate wayward heroes when they stray from the law.

Vendetta: I am a licensed esper.

What are your powers?

Tempest: I can manipulate gravity.

Vendetta: Hey! I can also manipulate gravity.

Tempest: Pog!

Reverie: I can manipulate chaos.

Vermillion: We all can do that.

Reverie: No, I mean, like, I actually manipulate it. I can shift odds, telekinesis, molecular combustion, lightning generation, limited radar, that sort of shit.

Vermillion: That isn't fucking fair! I can control the wind, and I can also... well, my powers aren't as fucking OP.

Vendetta: Bloody hell. My goals would be so much more attainable if I could just explode shit.

Tempest: I think most goals would be easier to attain if you could just explode shit.

Red: Damn, I just have a gun as my power.

Vermillion: What the fuck do you mean by 'gun' is your power?

Tempest: Oh, I also have a fancy gun! It's made out of the same material as my knives. If I fatally injure someone, they'll teleport in perfect health to another place I call spawn.

Red: No, I mean, my power is that I can conjure this geometric thing that shoots bullets and wires.

Vendetta: That's still really cool.

Reverie: Not as cool as chaos manipulation!

Where do superpowers come from?

Tempest: I... don't know? No one questions superpowers. People just have them.

Reverie: When humans discovered how to access the Nether and the End, the gods gave us powers... allegedly.

Vermillion: I don't know, either. We just sort of have them.

Red: I do not think there is an exact reason. I believe humanity developed superpowers as the next phase of evolution.

Vendetta: Damn, you guys don't know shit. All I know is that in my world, traumatic shit makes people awaken. An awakened person is called an esper.

Tempest: Damn, all the cool shit comes from the newer stories.

Reverie: I know we didn't get any of this.

Vendetta: Ha, old.

Reverie: Shut up, you fucking baby.

Vendetta: You say that one more fucking time.

Red: I am not a child. I am... eighteen or nineteen. I don't quite know.

Tempest: The fuck? I'm like... sixteen?

Vermillion: I'm eighteen, too.

Reverie: Damn... I wish I knew how old I was.

Vendetta: I don't know how old I am, either. My... um, my siblings always kept up with birthdays and stuff, so... I don't know.

Vermillion: It always becomes fucking depressing with you.

What is your relationship with Dream?

Tempest: He's the hero I work for. He saved me.

Reverie: Wait... you have a good Dream?

Tempest: Yeah, he's like my older brother.

Vermillion: My Dream is like my brother, too!

Red: I'm on good terms with mine. I guess he's kind of like my brother.

Reverie: Damn, why did I get stuck with the shit one?!

Vendetta: I have a shit Dream.

Reverie: Hell yeah! Shitty Dreams for the win!

How would you, in brutally honest terms, explain your current mental state?

Tempest: Damn, okay. Uh... fine, I guess? It's been okay.

Reverie: Way better now than I was a while ago.

Vermillion: I definitely don't have a healthy mental state.

Red: I am... I have a lot to consider... I have to face who I am and what I truly want.

Vendetta: Shitty.

Who would win in a fight without their powers as civilians, Combust (SapNap) or Siren (Wilbur)?

Tempest: Combust.

Reverie: Definitely Combust.

Vermillion: I haven't met either of them under the mask, but from what I know, Siren, maybe.

Red: I do not know who Siren is beneath the mask, so I believe my vote is with Combust.

Vendetta: I don't give a fuck who would win.

Who would win in a fight in uniform, Combust (SapNap) or Siren (Wilbur)?

Tempest: Siren would win with powers.

Reverie: Nah, Combust would just turn his ears into fire to avoid getting mind-controlled.

Vermillion: Banshee would have won the fight, but Siren... Siren wouldn't.

Red: Combust. Heroes will always prevail over villains.

Vendetta: Still don't care that much, but I think Combust has the same advantage as Reverie's guy, so...

How much would you pay to see it?

Tempest: I don't have money.

Reverie: Eh, it isn't worth much.

Vermillion: All my life's savings.

Red: I am not using my hard-earned money to watch a hero and villain fight.

Vendetta: I'd be the one selling tickets.

Morning person or night owl?

Tempest: Morning person.

Reverie: Night owl.

Vermillion: Night owl.

Red: Night owl.

Vendetta: Night owl.

Tempest: Something here isn't like all the others.

Reverie: Yeah, it's you.

Vermillion: Morning? What the fuck?

Do you pour cereal or the milk first?

Tempest: Cereal first.

Reverie: Definitely milk. It gives me a power boost in the morning.

Vermillion: Fucking weirdo. Cereal first.

Red: I've never tried cereal, so I don't know.

Vendetta: I don't eat cereal, either.

Reverie: Pour the milk first.

Vermillion: I will fucking punt you.

Tempest: Don't listen to Reverie.

Do you eat the cream separate from the cookies when you eat Oreos?

Tempest: No. I just eat the cookie as is.

Reverie: I shove as many as I can in my mouth.

Vermillion: Sometimes. I usually change it up.

Red: I have never had Oreos.

Vendetta: Neither have I.

Vermillion: What the fuck do you two eat?

Red: SSC sanctioned meals.

Vendetta: Yeah, the guild gives food packets. They're shit but easy to make and digest. Crowfather also brings me sandwiches sometimes.

Vermillion: A hero brings you sandwiches?

Vendetta: No. Crowfather is just a crow I befriended. I did name him after the former hero, Crowfather.

Red: Crowfather is a villain in my world. He's the leader of the Syndicate.

Tempest: The Syndicate leader in my world is the Angel of Death.

Vermillion: He's a hero in my world, but I'm sometimes called the Red Angel.

Vendetta: Crowfather would never become a villain. No, our Syndicate leader is Azrael.

Reverie: Nah, I'm pretty sure the Crowfather is a villain in my world.

Vendetta: Damn.

If you could hug someone, up to two people, who would they be?

Tempest: Dream... and I don't know. Maybe Wil?

Reverie: Drista... and I can't decide who else. I have too many options.

Vermillion: Henry... my, um, father, and... can I pick my younger self?

Red: I... Orange (Deo) and Blue (Wisp)

Vendetta: I can't pick. I want to hug every member of my family... just one more time.

Reverie: That seems like a fucking loaded question.

Tempest: We should probably give those three a moment to calm down.

And that is it, everyone! I had fun doing this. I don't know if I'll do it again, but if I do, I'm going to need you guys to drop some questions for the Tommys! And thank you to everyone who did ask questions!
