Superhero AU where Techno is just a guy, but that doesn’t stop a villain organization from picking him off the street for experimentation. Okay so he has a side job doing data entry for the heroes but nobody’s supposed to know about that! He’s just good with spreadsheets!

Anyways he plays helpless spreadsheet nerd and oh nooooooo what’s happening to him, he’s just a guy, oh nooooooo, until the right opportunity comes to use the twelve years of martial arts experience and make a break for it. He is OUTA here.

Anyways so he’s escaping, but this evil organization did not mark their hallways well and he’s getting a bit turned around. He uses his stolen key card to go through a door and the lights turn on and hey. There’s a guy in here. A guy who’s chained to the bed. A guy who looks a little further down the illegal experimentation path than Techno ever got, because are those wings? A guy who is now turning to stare silently at Techno.

Hey, Techno says.

What are your orders? the bird-guy says, tipping his head to the side.

At this point Techno is conscious of two things. There are some rumours of this organization doing really improbable murders where the victim gets clawed to death, and looking at his hands Techno is suspecting he knows how that happens, and also this guy is a prisoner. He can’t just leave him here.

We’re leaving, Techno says. He jabs his key card at the thing on the wall that controls the restraints, and finds the release button, swiping past a bunch of “are you SURE” screens. We’re breaking out of here, no more orders.

The guy looks down at his recently removed restraints and then up at Techno. Flying, he asks?

Oh boy. Techno nods. Come with me. The bird guy follows.

So now it’s Techno, spreadsheet guy, and his friend thr murder bird. This is gonna go GREAT. He still doesn’t know where to go. They make it into this big room full of tanks and catwalks and Techno is like what on earth are they doing here and where is the exit, and that’s when another guard emerges from behind a tank, gun pointed at him. Freeze, you’re going back to your cell, the guard says.

Techno is like well this isn’t what I wanted to happen. He’s too far away to punch the guard, and that guy has a projectile weapon, and now when they take him back they’re gonna be so much more conscious of the fact that I can fight. Non-ideal. He’s conscious of a shadow moving and that’s when he realizes bird-guy has gotten up onto the cat walks. That’s good, he thinks. He’ll be able to get past the guard and escape.

At this point the murder bird guy drops down behind thr guard, and he definitely has claws, because he just ripped that guy’s throat out.

Bruh, Techno says, as the guard gurgles. Nice.

This isn’t the way to flying, the guy says, faintly judgmental.

Oh. Techno says. You know the way out? Can you show me.

Bird guy turns and heads for the exit, Techno following. Wait, Techno says. Why didn’t you just leave? If you knew where the exit was?

Bird guy glances at him. Had to get you out. You said no more orders, and then you stood close enough for me to kill you. He keeps going, as though that settles that.

Oh, Techno says, realizing he might have just earned the loyalty of a murder assassin. Don’t mess this up, self! That’s— cool. Thanks.

Hmmm, the bird guy says, still judgemental, but his feathers fluffed up when Techno said thanks. This way.

Haha, how long has it been for murder bird? Does he remember much about the outside world? OK, now I'm just imagining techno taking it upon himself to teach murder bird how to person in society and ending up just teaching him how to also be very good at spreadsheets. But he can't get an ordinary office job because the wings and claws kind of wig people out, so the only people murder bird can spreadsheet for are the heroes. And so techno through a weird sense of responsibility for what he has wrought ends up doing more hero data entry gigs himself so he can make sure none of the heroes try to bully murder bird into heroing.

antimony-medusa

God I am also SO weak to a “learns to be a person” arc, I love it.

I feel like there would be a lot of instances of the heroes not necessarily trusting this deadly murder bird assassin, and Techno having to go to the mat to advocate for him and making sure that he absolutely is NOT locked up. And murder bird doesn’t know what is happening, he’s busy learning to peel an orange with his claws, and then learns belatedly that his friend has been defending that he can be a trustworthy person. Which he isn’t sure that HE believes, you know, but it’s nice to hear someone else believes it.

dotterelly

So techno is busy advocating for murder bird with the heroes. But he has to also be dealing with trouble from the villains, who have somehow got the idea that Techno is some sort of mastermind, because how else could an ordinary office worker have broken their brain washing and taken control of their murder bird? However it is very important to me that for an extended period of time, Techno manages to deal with these issues so well that murder bird does not even realize this is happening even though murder bird is not stupid and has been secretly on edge expecting some villain retaliation the whole time and ready to murder whatever assassins they send. Although admittedly, Techno has got very good and finding suitably rubix cube like tasks to throw to murder bird to figure out and distract him at the right moments, like the learning to peel an orange thing. He has worked out that when murder bird gets focused on something he really locks in, it's why he's so good with the spreadsheets.

antimony-medusa

I think Techno is out here carefully masking their identity and tracks electronically, hiding information that can trickle down from leaks from the heroes, convincing people they don't want to worry about rumours it's totally nothing. And his friend the assassin is constantly afraid of his old keepers busting in through the windows, but it keeps not happening. When his new keeper said no more orders, it seems like he meant it. Murder bird can go up to the roof of their building at night and take to the skies (another thing Techno is maybe burying the rumours of seeing). And he can also focus on other tasks that Techno has produced, like whittling (he can make things with his claws) and model trains (he approves of trains), or learning things on the computer. You can do all kinds of things on the computer, he's found. And nobody knows you've got wings if you don't tell them.

Anyways Techno comes home from a brisk jaunt of (Techno is pretty sure) evading some pursuers, and murder friend is on the computer, and Techno is like you know we could probably come up with a better name for you, and not Bird Guy or You. Do you have a name you'd want to be called? And the murder bird considers this. I've been telling people on the computer that my name is Phil, he says.

Alright, Techno says. Phil.

Phil squints at him. Why are you limping.

Oh, I just ran on the side of my foot running for the train, Techno explains.

Phil is dubious, but he'll allow it. Techno does do things like that sometimes.

dotterelly

Yesssssss. Techno gets a lot of mileage out of bluffing egregiously. The villains after him started out with this idea that he is also a supervillain mastermind with a whole organization backing him up because he's not a listed hero and heroes don't hide themselves, and he can't just be a nobody. Techno's way of talking only continues to back up this concept and their resulting caution makes it easier for techno to cover their tracks. It takes a very long time and several probing Techno with assassins for that misunderstanding to be undone.

Meanwhile, Phil has become a gaming vtuber. His vtuber model has wings. No one questions it. He can straight up talk about his real life problems like how much effort it takes to open jars with claws and no one in his audience bats an eye.

antimony-medusa

Phil's audience loves when he jokes about murdering people he's so funny. Video game violence!

Techno has slam dunked a guy with a knife into a garbage can and escaped onto the train today, a similar thing to what happened yesterday. He's doing finnnnnne, this is just a normal friday.

dotterelly

The logical conclusion of techno's arc is that villain organisations start trying to recruit him, and/or the hero organisations start to list him as a villain. Around this time murder bird Phil can no longer write off the scent of blood hanging around his keeper when he gets home and follows him next time he goes out.

antimony-medusa

Man. It really was a shame about that entire villain organization coming to a bloody end because a murder Phil saw them grab his Techno’s arm. Really unreasonable of the heroes to not accept that one as natural causes. Anyways they’re on an escape road trip now. Techno is driving. Phil’s wings do not fit well in the car. He still can’t open an orange without shredding it. Techno is trying to introduce him to good music.

factorialsotherfandoms

Being stupid is absolutely a natural cause, Techno claims. Phil has to make do with vtubing from hotel wifi for a while. It almost gets them caught, except neither heroes nor other villain orgs can believe that the murder bird would be as stupid as to vtube as himself, or rather that Techno would let him without at least seventeen layers deep of VPNs. Techno meanwhile is missing his book collection and his spreadsheets.

antimony-medusa

There's some EXTREMELY dedicated people trying to argue that Birdza's vtuber streams are actually an ARG. It all started with that side character, Blade, started to show up! Look it all pulls together, you see?

Phil is just enjoying telling the story of how the hotel free breakfast was TERRIBLE and someone was staring at him the whole time he was toasting a bagel. Because of the wings under his coat, you know. Chat is enjoying spamming BirdzaWings emotes in response.

dotterelly

Phil eventually hooks Techno up with a vtuber model of his own as Blade, because streaming is their only source of income rn. To which the fanatics are like Aha! We told you! It's all connected! Techno would really like to go back to his spreadsheets. Spreadsheets are simple and easy and don't very often try to stab you. All the tactics he learned dodging all the villains and heroes make him weirdly good at strategy games, but he winds up with a pretty eclectic gaming career because he frequently chooses challenges based on how easily he can involve spreadsheets in the process of solving them (Potato war is definitely cannon in this universe).

antimony-medusa

There is a discord trying to understand the ARG encoded in the time Blade and Birds started talking to each other in code for five minutes. They've almost cracked it. They're so close.

Techno and Phil, in fact, were discussing how best to code a spreadsheet and forgot that Phil's mic wasn't muted.

No but see the whole part, the discord argues, where Blade was arguing for Concat and Birdza kept saying Textjoin was better, it refers to written communication. They're looking for something in text format, a single string. Surely.

Meanwhile Phil has gotten a halloween costume for his vtuber. It's wearing a hat.
