Backstory

In another universe, Tommy would’ve been an ordinary kid, living with his family a happy life in Los Angeles’ Chinatown. But then a supervillain bomb exploded taking half the neighborhood and only he survived in his family. Unable to find any next of kin Tommy was put into the foster system.

Unable to grieve and lost in a world he barely understood Tommy became an angry child so he took to running away, he got caught, so he ran away again, he got caught again but after longer. As he run away time and time again he got better at it. As Tommy spent time on the street he decided to stop being a girl, he never cared for it, and eventually he would come to feel that being a boy was right, it was then that he took his new name of Tommy.

After yet another escape, Tommy met with Jordan Vo, a 14 years old boy who was affiliated with the ZAN Kings gang, he brought Tommy under his wing, helped him evade police, and would get him his first job with the gang; running messages, parcels, and standing watch for cops while older members of the gang dealt drugs or committed robberies.

Tommy and Jordan became brothers of sorts living together in an abandoned squat, and Jordan would eventually learn Tommy’s secret but kept it. However, puberty would come and Tommy’s secret was no longer so secret. Girls were treated differently in the Kings, it was a macho millieu after all. But Tommy fought and kept steady, he was badly beaten up many times for it. So he got tougher, he learned to fight and defend himself.

It was during a fight that his powers manifested and he duplicated for the first time. This changed everything; Tommy was no longer just some dumb girl who didn’t know her place, he was an asset. He came under the protection of Uncle Ngo who mentored him. As he grew to master his power and get stronger, Tommy got his payback, he fought everyone who’d bullied them and made them take it back, acknowledge him as male, if they didn’t he beat them senseless until they broke.

Tommy earned a reputation for his strength, bravery, and savagery in a fight, he got illegal testosterone shots, and he became a top star in the Kings. This was the high point of his life.

And then he took the fall for one of his fellows, he hadn’t done it, but they followed on law; the Omerta. So Tommy did the time, one year in juvie. So he did the time, he was a model inmate for six months to secure his early release. It was then that he was assigned a new group of foster parents but these were different; two Itharii had volunteered to take his case.

Tommy didn’t think much and ditched them the first chance he had. However, trouble came soon when it came to light that Jordan had turned and become a police informant. Everyone knew he and Tommy were thick as thieves so Uncle Ngo gave him a pistol and told him to kill Jordan.

But Tommy couldn’t. He betrayed everything he’d believed and worked for since he was nine. When the dust cleared Tommy was back in custody and Jordan was headed to witsec. But a way out was offered to Tommy; Ravenhold Academy. Without anything left, he took the chance.

Arrival: Chapter 1.10 (Tommy)

Tommy sat in the bus, gazing out the window with his mind buzzing from the power nullifier. What the fuck was he doing there? Being a hero was dumb, but what else could he do?

If he’d stayed in California his gang would’ve tried to kill him. He was good but not ‘fight an entire gang’ good. The only family he’d ever known was somewhere far away in witness protection, he’d betrayed his gang for them and now he was all alone.

Ravenhold Academy? It was dumb, but what other option was there? 

“Hi friend!” 

Tommy blinked. Was someone talking to him? He turned around and came face to face with… Whatever that thing was. It was like a giant bird that someone had attached a human face onto. 

Tommy just went back to looking out the window. He wasn’t going to deal with whatever weird shit this was…

However the bird-person shoved himself onto the seat, “I’m One Z! You can call me Onez! What’s your name?” 

Tommy looked back at him, Onez offered a taloned hand for him to shake.

“Do I look like I want to talk?”

Onez tilted a hand to the side like a confused pigeon, “Yes?”

“You really are a bird brain then,” he sighed

 “Thank you!” 

“What do you want?” Tommy sighed.

“Your name?” 

“Tommy, happy now?”

“Yes!” a lion’s tail happily swished behind Onez. 

Tommy may not have noticed before but now he can see a lion tail swishing happily behind Onez. “Normally I don’t need ask to know people’s names but this.” Onez tapped the power control collar with a talon. “This makes the world very very quiet and I don’t know as much.”

“Tell me about it.”

“Ever since I was created I could hear things from people all the time even when their mouths weren’t moving! Sometimes they say two different things and it can be very confusing. There have been some people who I could only hear one voice from but this is the only time I can only hear one voice from EVERYONE. It’s very weird.” Onez waved his weird bird arms excitedly as he spoke.

“I didn’t actually mean for you to tell me about it, weirdo.”

“Oooohhh so your two voices were saying different things.” He nodded in ‘understanding’.

“It’s an expression, now buzz off.”

“What’s that mean?”

“Fuck off, leave me alone, go away.” Tommy says.

For once Onez’s dumb smile went away. “Why?”

“Because you’re bothering me.”

“Did I do something wrong?” Onez asked, looking hurt.

Fuck. He was being an asshole. Tommy sighed. “No… I just need to be alone.”

“Is that what your other voice is saying too?”

“Yes.”

Onez slowly got up and found an empty seat, leaving Tommy alone with his own problems.
