FebuWhump Day 12: Spiked Drinks
DSMP Superhero AU
Summary: An usual delivery came earlier that day with four new sample syrups for the Holidays. When L’Manburg’s top four Superheroes decide to dine at the Café and a “Customer” orders the drinks for the Superheroes. Tommy at first was confused. Four Heroes and the “Customer” order them the new sample syrups that just arrived today? Tommy shrugged, it wasn’t his money after all plus they gave a good tip! Hopefully the Heroes like the drinks!

(Bad’s Café)
Normally Tommy wouldn’t be taking the deliveries, considering deliveries were usually on Thursdays and not on Saturdays. But normally Tommy wouldn’t be working this early taking a double shift when Connor called out and Foolish wasn’t available to come in. Which was why a very grumpy and groggy Tommy Innit came trooping into the Café, complaining about it being too early but he really didn’t mind the extra shifts. He’d been asking Bad for more hours for a while now.
Though when Tommy opened the backdoor to the back alley to receive the delivery. Tommy was a little confused. One, at how small the delivery was, only a few crates, one of the crates was the Holiday Syrups for the Holiday Coffees and Hot Chocolates. The other thing that confused Tommy was the delivery driver. Brown hair, dark eyes, and what looked to be a purple shirt underneath the uniform. Tommy shrugged, must be a new guy. Michael was what his name tag said.
After Tommy put the delivery away (it only took about an hour) he made his way to the front of the Café to get ready for his double shift. Wondering what else to expect? Tommy should know better than to challenge the Multiverse Minecraft Gods here in Egopocalypse! Because they seem to have no problem in taking the unspoken challenge that Tommy unknowingly gave.
Standing in front of Tommy (and Tommy will deny it to the day that he died that he had to pick his jaw up off the floor) was none other than L’Manburg’s Number Eleven Hero Spyder, better known as Arachnid. And his equally well known sister, one of L’Manburg’s most infamous Vigilante’s Martha better known as Motha. Unlike the other Heroes, Vigilantes and Villains that have a secret identity, both Spyder and Martha are hybrids and their features are next to impossible for them to hide.
With Martha, the anatas sticking out of the front of her head, the moth-like eyes, and the giant moth wings on her back. And with Spyder, he has literally, four red glowing eyes, fangs, four arms and then when he gets into his “Hybrid Mode” as he calls it. Four black Spider Legs come out of his back, and on two of his four “human” arms, spider-like claws that can shoot webs, come out on top of his wrists. So, everyone in L’Manburg, knows what they look like and what their “Civilian” names are. The only thing is, if the two have their famous masks on, then that was the code that they were on duty and to not approach them. If the two don't have their masks on then they are to be treated like Civilians since they are off duty.
Which was why Tommy was so confused and very shocked to see them here, at Bad’s Café, in Eastside. Normally, the Heroes of the L’Manburg stay in the Hero District (where they patrol so often) West End (Rich and Famous people of L’Manburg) or South Bay (the Higher Middle Class, and the Noble Class). What the hell were they doing here?
“Oh, my sister patrols here in Eastside and said that you guys have pretty good coffee and extremely good muffins!” Spyder said. Okay, so apparently Tommy must have said that last part out loud. “Um, what are some good drinks that you might recommend?”
“Oh we just got our Holiday Delivery in, so all the Holiday Drinks are now available,” Tommy answered remembering the delivery from earlier.
“Oh cool, can I get a Pumpkin Spice Latte and what do you want sis?”
“I’ll have the Peppermint Mocha Latte, please!”
“Okay,” Tommy said. He then put in the order, and said what the total was and gave Spyder the change. Then he went to make the drinks. “Name for the drinks?”
“Spyder.” Spyder then put in about a thirty percent tip in the tip jar. Tommy was a little surprised by that.
Tommy quickly made the drinks and put them on the “Pick Up” Counter and when the next set of customers came in. Tommy again had to pick his jaw up from the floor. There, standing in front of him were the top four Superheroes of L’Manburg, Dream, Blaze, 404, and TimeKeeper.
“Blaze!” A voice called from behind the counter. Tommy turned around and was a little shocked that it came from his boss, Bad. Blaze just looked like he got caught in public by one of his parents. “And Dream! And 404! And I’m guessing your TimeKeeper, right? Blaze has told me so much about you!”
Tommy didn’t know if he was going to have whiplash from going back and forth from the Dream Team and TimeKeeper and Bad or from all the shock that he’s been experiencing so far? From Spyder and Martha, to now apparently Bad (Tommy’s boss) knows the top four Superheroes of L’Manburg? What the fuck?!
“How are you guys? How have you’ve been?”
Apparently this was all that it took for other the three of the group to start messing with Blaze.
“Blaze?” 404 and TimeKeeper, looked shocked at Blaze.
“Blaze,” Dream sounded like Blaze just committed a crime. “You haven’t been telling your own father how you’re doing?!”
“Wait! Hold up!” Tommy said, looking back and forth between the group and his boss. “Are you telling me, that you Bad, my boss, is Blaze’s father?!”
Bad chuckled a bit. “Well not biologically, but yes! Blaze is my and Skeppy’s adopted son!” Bad smiled proudly at Blaze. “Speaking of which, when are you bringing your partner over for dinner? Skeppy and I would like to meet him!”
“Dad!” Blaze whined.
“Don’t you Dad me and don’t even think about using the ‘There’s a Hero Emergency’ excuse either! I don’t care if the Blade is fighting on the roof! You’re not getting out of family dinner, young man!”
(A couple of hours later)
A woman came into the Café and ordered her drink and then handed Tommy the money and a note. Tommy put the note to the side for the time being and went through the usual routine and gave the customer her change. Then Tommy picked up the note that he set aside a moment ago.
Please make these drinks for the Heroes? I’m a huge fan!
A large Decaf Barry Blast Latte for 404
A large Gingerbread Spice Latte for Blaze
A large Pumpkin Latte for TimeKeeper
A large Butterscotch Coffee for Dream
What’s left from the order put it in your tip jar!
There was no signature, just a large bill to pay for more than the drinks themself! Tommy at first was confused. Four Heroes and the “Customer” just ordered them the new sample syrups that just arrived today? Tommy shrugged, it wasn’t his money after all plus they gave a really good tip! Hopefully the Heroes like the drinks!
“Here you guys go!” Tommy said, handing out the drinks to the Heroes at their table that the nice Customer ordered for them.
“But we didn’t order any drinks!” TimeKeeper said.
“Oh, that’s okay. A fan of yours ordered them for ya.”
“Thanks!” 404 said, taking his drink and then taking a huge sip. Huh, very sweet, and berry flavor! When 404 finished his drink that’s when he realized too little too late that something was wrong. He was feeling very dizzy, and the room was beginning to spin.
“Wait, somethings wrong! Tommy! What was in the drinks?!” 404 tried to make his way over to the counter but stumbled and then the next thing 404 knew he fell backwards on the floor.
“404!” Dream was at his side, trying to wake 404. TimeKeeper was on the phone with someone, describing what had just happened to 404.
“Hey!” Blaze saw a “Customer” quickly darting out of the Cafe and ran after her!
Blaze chased after her down the alley to have her change right in front of his eyes. It was like a mirage effect happening in front of him. The woman quickly changed to a male, medium build, purple shirt, brown hair, and black pants. The “Customer” quickly darted to the right into another alleyway and Blaze was right after him. But when Blaze got there, the “Customer” was nowhere in sight. Blaze cautiously stepped into the new alleyway, summoning his fire power, but nothing happened. He tried again and nothing happened. He tried again, and nothing happened.
“Heheheheh! So, you really are nothing without your ‘Fire Power’ huh Blaze?” The “Customer” said.
Now that Blaze had a good look at him, he knew who it was. Mimic! Mimic was a Vigilante for hire, and had powers that he could shapeshift and mimic anyone’s powers and voice for a limited time.
“What did you do?!” Blaze demanded.
“Hey! I just did what I was hired to do! He wants to cause Chaos for the sake of Chaos! Then I’m going to deliver!”
“Who?! Who’s doing this?!”
Mimic just smiled. “Sorry, Blaze! But that’s classified info!” Then he shapeshifted into a bird and flew away. Leaving a very pissed off and very confused Blaze.
(Hero Tower)
The Heroes made their way to the Medbay Area in Hero Tower. Dream practically tearing his hair out and demanding to know what the hell was going on with George! Sapnap and Karl were standing off to the side waiting for the Doctor to come. Their drinks were tampered with and they already sent Boomer (Leapfrog) to investigate. Knowing that neither of them could take the case being both too personal and actually being involved in it.
A moment later Doctor Charlie Slimecicle, a Slime Hybrid with a Healing Ability in Potions and Poisons came to the waiting room. Clipboard in hand and a sense of calm around him. “Okay so let’s get down to business. George is going to be okay. We’re working on the cure right now. I managed to get a sample from the drinks and thanks to my ability was able to break down the components that were in the drinks so, we’re going to find out what caused all this very soon!”
Dream started to relax a bit at that. George will be okay!
“However, what’s concerning is not only what was in George’s drink but all of yours as well! George was a combination of Sleep Potion and some kind of hallucinogenic mixed together. I’m not even sure how that’s possible, but we’re working around the clock to bring him back. Right now, he’s in a coma like sleep and battling whatever kind of nightmares that was conjured up by this concoction.”
“Was George the target then?” Karl asked.
“I don’t think so,” Charlie answered. “Since Sapnap found out he couldn’t conjure up his fire ability after he went after Mimic. I took samples of all your drinks. Sapnap, you wound up having a Fire Resistance Potion in your drink. Luckily for you it was mild so should wear off by tomorrow. Karl, you wound up having a combination of a Weakness Potion and a Slowness Potion in your drink. Right now, that means that your Time-Bending Ability will either be nonexistent or it will have a very slow effect then normal. Dream, I’m not even sure what was in your drink! There were traces of different elements of different potions, so until we know what was slipped in your drink. I recommend that you don’t use your powers at all!”
Just then the elevator doors to the Medbay opened up and out leaped Boomer.
“We got another one!” Boomer said holding a report. “Another target of the spiked goodies! And we might have a possible kidnapping as well!”
“Who? Who was kidnapped?” Karl asked.
“Tommy Innes. He was last spotted at Niki’s Bakery before the security cameras caught a glimpse of who might have grabbed him.”
“Well, spit it out then!” Dream demanded
“Dream,” Boomer hesitated before he gave his answer. “It was Siren!”
