Ah, yes. A great day for tommyinnit.
A great day (night) for him to be getting chased by the dream team. He can obviously beat them, he just doesnt want to, hes tired and wants to go home. So like a logical and smart person, he calls tubbs "hey big mannnn" he doesnt get an answer, "what." Tubbo responds very dryly to tommys dislike, "could ya help me find a way out of this? Please big man", "whatever tommy, turn left down the alley and there should be a fire escape, climb up that." "THANKS BOSSMAN" and so, he did exactly that, he slipped through the window to his apartment, he lives with tubbo, in the 15th district, he has 2 jobs, one at niki's bakery and one at bad's cafe, one sells pastries and cakes and one sells coffee ect, his shift at bad's starts at 7:00 am and ends at 12:00 pm he starts his shift at niki's at 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm, he starts patrolling around 9 - 12 pm-am, so he gets like 6 hrs of sleep, and him and tubbo still struggle to pay rent and eat, so they chooses rent over eating, they eats instant noodles more often than they should. He got sick so often to the point it doesnt effect him anymore, when it does effect him he gets really sick, basically unable to move.

When tommy woke up that next morning,
He checked the time and- "oh sh*t." It was 6:50 am and his shift started at 7:00 am.
He jolted out of bed and shoved on his red and white t-shirt and red hoodie + some navy blue jeans, and his ratty converse hes had for years, he looked in the mirror scrubbed at his hair, grabbed his keys and bolted out the door, he ran down the street towards the subway and got there just as the doors opened, he jumped in and sat down, checking time "6:57 am", its okay if hes a little late right? Bad wouldnt mind hm?
o0o
"TOMMY! WHERE WERE YOU."
"uhhh hiya bad.."
"Thomas. You are 10 minutes late."
"O-oh uh.. right! Ill clock in now!"
"Hurry up."
o0o
Halfway through his shift a pinkette walked in, he ordered a london fog, tommy couldn't keep his eyes off him, (not in a weird way) but he eventually left and it made tommy's bird brain somewhat sad, but he ignored it.
o0o
He finished his shift and locked up the cafe and headed to nikis bakery,
o0o
He walked into niki's bakery, she has always been nicer than bad no matter how kind bad is, he walked through the door and heard a little
"Ring"
And niki popped her head over the counter, her eyes widened, and a smug grin overtook her face.
"TOMMY!!"
she bolted over the counter and wrapped tommy into a tight hug, he hugged her back and said
"Hey sis"
Tommy thinks of niki as a sister even if they are not related, shes the closest thing hes had to family since he ran from home,
He started his shift and it went by fast, he always enjoyed niki's bakery
He finishes at late afternoon, he locked up the bakery at 7:10 pm,
o0o
Tommy had just started walking home after a long day at work, dont get me wrong he loves his work but its so tiring, he manages to get home and lock the door,
o0o
He had gotten dressed into his vigilante gear and hopped out the window, he was making his way down the street searching for petty people committing petty crimes, that was until he ran into warden, a very strong hero that no one has ever seemed to escape, not counting the 6 times crimson had escaped him. Crimson pulled out a grey cylinder that retracts into a staff if needed and waited until warden spotted him. When he did wardens face turned into a scowl behind his mask, he started running towards him but crimson was already prepared for this sh*t. He pressed a button on the cylinder turning it into a staff and shouted
"HEY ASSWIPE COME GET SOME!"
that just made warden angrier he went to swing for crimson but missed just in time to get smacked in the face by the metal staff,
"Try harder than that, ya prick"
Crimson was known for "angering" his opponents, all he did was a couple swiped with his staff and warden was out cold. Crimson's a nice guy to he picked him up and dropped him out the front of the hero tower a little gift for the heros, but what crimson didnt know, is that he was being watched,
None other than Zephyrus, the man himself was impressed by crimson, but for some reason his instincts kept going off. Crimson had been having trouble with his instincts during the fight aswell, he was just a bit busy to notice them, but he sure as hell did notice it when he was walking down the street towards his 1 bedroom apartment, (that him and tubbo share).
