"A fucking pest is what got to me." He grunts; struggling still in the rubble and missing how Techno stills. "Now are you gonna get me out so you can challenge me properly; or-"
His words cut off when Techno levels his trident at his chest; growling low and furious.
"What was his name?" He demands; although he already has a feeling he knows exactly who it is. But he needs to know for certain-
"Vex." He spits, shying away from the trident. "Had a mission with the Heroes he threw a fit and ran. But now he's back as some fuckin wanna-be A-Teir villain. Goes by Icarus now for some reason."
Techno nearly drops his trident right then and there. The fact that his little brother chose such a devastating myth to be his new persona's name-
He growls louder and turns; throwing a tracker at the wall and sticking it where Raptors chest is buried under the brick. The villain starts cursing at him as Techno walks off back towards the stairs to leave the empty station. He waits until he's sure the Villain can't hear; and talks quietly into the cuff of his cape. "Phantom? I have some good news, bad news, and worse news."
"Are you ok?" Wilbur asks in his ear.
"I'm fine- but I found Raptor down in a subway station in outer Logstedshire." Techno reports, glancing behind him one more time before climbing up the stairs.
"Did you put the tracker on him?"
"Yeah- but he's not going anywhere." Techno huffs. "He's in the wall. Like someone pulled the brick like taffy and stuck him in the middle."
"That.." Wilbur starts, then stops. Like he's understanding what Techno's saying. "..What's the bad news?"
"Bad news is Mockingbird's not here." He says, climbing into the street and peering around to try and figure out where Tommy might've gone. "Not a sign of him aside from Raptor."
"And the worse news?" Wilbur prompts.
"..We'll need to keep an eye out for someone else." He replies, trying to keep it vague in case he's being overheard. "Goes by Icarus."
Wilbur is silent on the other side of his earpiece; and Techno keeps walking down the street; looking for any sign that Tommy came this way.
"..I'll let Niki know." He says eventually; typing something on his end. But then it pauses. "Um- Actually; I think I found him?"
Techno stops. "..What??"
"Puffy just said we've gotten a bunch of calls of an unknown villain with white wings and dark clothes chasing down Flatline in upper Logsteadhire. He's tearing apart buildings and the street." Techno turns to look in the direction Wilbur's talking about. He can't hear or see anything- but he knows Tommy's there. "Could that be..?"
