The first month or so, Tobi puts on the costume every night and goes patrolling. It helps that he doesn't really do a lot of sleeping, meaning he can patrol most of the night, rolling in around 4 or 5am. He still hates the costume and will peel it off and dump it when he gets in, but his superhero name helps.
Silver Shepherd.
Honestly the shepherd is just because of the alliteration, but it works and after a while, and several instances of protecting people, it's kind of fulfilling to hear people declare his name when he shows up.
It's mostly small time stuff, a mugging here, helping a drunkard home there, and you know it starts to occur to him the amount of times Roxy seems to get herself into trouble. Most weeks he's stopping her from getting mugged, or attacked or something like that. Still he's not going to not save her just cause she's often in trouble.
Of course he hasn't told her about his secret life, but he still goes dancing with her, and they've even been on a couple dates. He gets the idea to take her to a nearby carnival and they have a great time. Even though they are essentially dating, and he knows this, it just doesn't feel real to him. It's all a part of his persona. Still he plays his part well and she seems happy. She kisses him often.
The whole building knows of his exploits, after one or two times he's come home beaten to a bloody pulp, but it's only helped him. They seem less standoffish now, and he finds them to be more approachable. Some of the others have started calling him Silver and he likes that too. And when Bing moves in and starts to gush over the fact that Tobi's a superhero, it feels like his little life is almost complete.
He still can't approach Wilford, though he finds himself stopping outside the studio more than once, wanting to go in and say hi but feeling like that isn't really his place. It's not his Will, and there's already a Dark in his life. So he just walks away. And Dark still refuses to interact with him, but you know what, he hates Dark as well, so whatever.
