Summary: Where's Tommy gone during the Initiative?
Author's Note: This'll be AU as soon as Tommy shows up in Civil War-era Marvel, but until then, here's my take on why he's MIA so far.
Escape
Tommy crept silently through the SHIELD complex, flickering tentatively from shadow to shadow in the silence. It wouldn't do to set off the motion detectors in the super-human security system, but he had to get out of here. Fast.
Psst! Tommy!
The harsh whisper shocked Tommy so much that he froze in panic, jerking his head about wildly to find the source of the voice.
Hey! Stop freaking out, it's Billy!
Tommy calmed considerably, but suspiciously murmured, "Where are you?"
I'm in my room using a communication spell. Teddy's here with me too.
Snorting, Tommy sarcastically muttered under his breath, "So what does make-out time have to do with scaring me outta my freakin' wits?"
An equally snarky voice echoed in the speedster's ears. Well, Teddy's a bit of an exhibitionist... A dry chuckle. Actually, we just wanted to wish you luck. We like it here, but, uh, with your condition-"
Tommy rolled his eyes and cut Billy off, "You mean my total inability to work with the military-types after they tried to cut me up and turn me into a weapon before, right?"
...
"... Sorry."
No prob. It's fine.
"Those weren't the best times of my life, ya know? And skulking around in the shadows out here isn't exactly helping the mood."
Yeah... Look, we just wanted to let you know that we support your decision to leave and that we won't rat you out to Mr. Stark. I've got the security, so if you run at top speed, you should be able to make it to Canada by morning, I think.
A thoughtful pause.
"Thanks Billy."
Hey, you might not believe it, but in my mind, we're twins, right? And Mom always told me to put family first.
Tommy smirked. "Sure, whatever you say, weirdo. I'll e-mail you when I get where I'm going, 'kay?"
That'd be good. By the way, it's winter up there, so you might want to get some warmer clothes. Spandex isn't exactly the best thing for insulation.
"Nah, don't worry 'bout that. I've got the whole 'splodey thing goin' on, right? But I'll prob'ly try travelling on the rivers some... It'll be faster, and I always did like skating."
... Stay safe, twin.
"See ya later ... twin."

In his room, Billy blinked in shock at that last phrase. It had been throw in just as the magical connection had broken, and he hadn't had time to respond.
Before he could try to re-connect with Tommy, a warm pair of arms caught the spell-caster up in an embrace and a low voice rumbled, "Is Tommy okay, then?"
Billy smiled and looked up at Teddy. "Yeah, he'll be in Canada soon, I think."
"Mmm, good. Then maybe you could stop worrying about him and start worrying about me?" The blonde had started dropping kisses down Billy's neck. The brunette laughed and turned his full attention back to Teddy. He could worry more about his twin tomorrow, but the sharp teeth nipping their way down his abs required his more ... immediate attention.
