Virgil looked down as the door opened and Remus was thrown to the ground. His eyes widened and he looked up as the door slammed shut. Remus was chained up to the wall by his wrist.

"What the fuck..." Virgil backed himself into the wall farther. Remus looked at him and then backed away.

"I'm not here to hurt you." Virgil looked at him.

"Are you crying?" He asked. Remus wiped his face on his arm and looked up.

"Yes, but I'm fine. They haven't...." Remus looked away. "Iris didn't hurt you did she?" Virgil stood up from the bed and walked over cautiously sitting besides Remus.

"Why would you care if she did?" Virgil asked. Remus looked up at Virgil and then away at the door.

"I hurt you all too much...and I'm sorry." Remus looked up again at Virgil. "But I'm not going to let her hurt any of you ever again. You guys need to run when Roman gets here."

"Remus what is going on?" Virgil asked. "Thought you would be happy they were hurting us...after so long of you hurting us..."

"Roman was on the phone..." Remus looked down and Virgil saw he was crying again. This could be an act...right? He's pretending to care all of a sudden? He's a horrible person! "She kept him on the phone while she raped me." Virgil sat down and listened to remus talk about how he is sorry for all he's done and how he doesn't expect them to forgive him but he wants them to get out so they can be far away from these women. Remus was shaking and Virgil quickly acted and touched his face.

"Hey! Hey Remus! Breathe with me come on..." Virgil got Remus to calm down and Remus looked at him sadly.

"Why...why did you just help me?" Remus asked. Virgil sighed.

"To be honest with you I don't know." Virgil looked away. "But, I think that you shouldn't just give yourself up to them."

"But if I do it gets you and Logan a chance to run away and get back to Janus and Patton and Roman-."

"Yeah well, I'm not leaving you here." Virgil folded his arms across his chest. "And if dad doesn't agree with it we can fight about it in the car, because there's no way I'm just going to sit back, and even after all you've done, let them rape you."

"Virgil..." Remus shook his head. "I'm a bad person! You can't just-."

"What stop them from raping you by bringing you with us? Yes, yes I can. The bad person part? We can get you therapy or something! I don't know...I just can't sit back even after everything, and allow you to sacrifice yourself." Remus looked back at the door and then over at Virgil.

"Logan's gonna hate you for that...I can't be the reason your family falls apart Virgil." Virgil rolled his eyes.

"As if that was a problem before! You kidnapped us, you Moron." Remus chuckled.

"Nice to see you kept that spark Virgil." Remus pulled on the chains and groaned. "My arms hurt..." the door opened and Remus immediately kicked Virgil away from it. Iris chuckled.

"Oh how cute, he's forgiven you already?" She walked closer to Remus and leaned down so she was close to his face. She kissed him and Virgil glared at her.

"Bitch. It's called consent." Virgil grumbled as he sat up on the floor where he landed. She pulled away from Remus who looked over and Virgil and rolled his eyes.

"Did you just call me a bitch?" She asked.

"Yeah, it's what you are." Remus laughed at Virgil but iris got down to eye level with Remus and kissed him again. Virgil looked away as she continued to kiss Remus. He heard Remus yelp and turned to see iriss hand in his pants. Virgil covered his eyes and quickly backed away.

"Hm what? You were so protective earlier Virgil." She stood and Remus glared at her. Virgil looked at him.

"I-."

"Your fine Virgil..." Remus glared at iris. "That's all she is, a fucking crazy bitch."

"I don't know why you think so lowly of me Duke." Remus cringed and looked away from her. "Now I must go, princey has arrived and I want to give him a warm welcome~" she left and Virgil looked at Remus with wide eyes.

"Roman..." Virgil went to the door and tried to get it open but screamed in frustration when he couldn't get it open.

"Are you...are you alright Virgil?" Remus asked. Virgil stopped and turned to look at Remus.

"Are you insane? Okay no...don't answer that." Remus chuckled. "She almost just fucking raped you right in front of me!" Remus looked away.

"I'm sorry..." Remus mumbled. Virgil sighed.

"None of that was your fault, besides if she continued I would have knocked the crazy bitch out." Virgil sat besides Remus. Remus laughed.

"Calm down Virgil, you still need to help your dad." Virgil stuck out his tongue.

"Oh fuck off, I wasn't about to sit back and listen to that. Gross." Remus laughed.

"Just remember that he needs you, so don't do anything stupid." Remus looked up at his chains and then back at Virgil. "I'm sorry she was going to force you to watch that.."

"Remus, can you stop apologizing.. I know you're a pretty shitty fucking person and you have done some pretty shitty fucking things, but even then...with some therapy and stuff after awhile maybe we can figure out how to help you out..." Remus smiled.

"Are you serious?" He asked. Virgil nodded. "Thank you..." Virgil looked at the door again.

"She said princey...we both know she meant Roman was here you don't think she'd hurt him right?" Virgil looked at Remus. He bit his lip.

"I dont know...I'm really hoping she won't." The door opened and iris stepped into the room, Roman walking into the room behind her.

"Roman!" Virgil jumped up and ran over hugging him. He shoved Virgil away and rolled his eyes.

"Clingy much?" He asked. Virgil looked at iris and then back at Remus who wore a look of confusion as well. "Oh right, iris dear...please unchain Remus." Did he just fucking say that!? Remus was unchained and iris pulled him away from Virgil. Virgil walked backwards as two other women entered the room.

"Wow Roman..." Remus looked at Virgil and winked at him and then back at Roman. "You'd really let them hurt Virgil?" Roman folded his arms across his chest.

"Shut up Remus." Suddenly Roman lashed out and iris fell to the ground. One of the other women collapsed to the floor. Virgil looked up at her and she ripped off her wig.

"God I hated that." Logan grumbled. Virgil ran into his arms. He held onto Virgil and smiled.

"Come on, let's go." Roman walked over and helped Remus to his feet. Logan looked at him and then followed behind holding Virgil close. They walked out and Remus looked at Roman smiling sadly.

"You can leave me here..." Remus looked at Logan and Virgil who were sitting down in the doorway of the van. Virgil shook his head.

"Roman look we-." Roman looked at Virgil and nodded.

"I agree, Logan I'm not leaving him here." Roman looked at Remus and Virgil looked at Logan who bit his lip.

"Are we sure this is a good idea?" Logan asked. Virgil looked at Remus who was shaking his head and backing away from Roman.

"Dad, trust me." Virgil said. Logan got up walking over to Roman and Remus.

"This might hurt." Logan knocked Remus out and Remus collapsed to the ground.

"Well okay then...that's one way to get him to come with us." They carried him to the van and Roman got into the drivers seat. They continued to drive and then Roman pulled over to the side of the road. "Look, Logan I know...this may seem like a really bad idea-."

"Seem like it? Roman this is an absolutely horrendous idea! How can you trust him!?" Logan looked at the two of them. "You especially Virgil! How can you expect me to help you with this?"

"We can turn him in, but at least he's away from them!" Roman shouted.

"And why should we care if he is or not!? He was working with them!" Logan shouted.

"THEY RAPED HIM!" Virgil shouted at the exact same time as Roman. Romans eyes widened.

"Virgil, how do you know that?" Roman asked.

"Because she was going to do it right in front of me but I distracted her." Virgil started rubbing his wrist. "He also told me about everything, and he apologized even knowing I wasn't going to accept his apology he still said he'd rather it be him than us, he wanted us to get away he didn't care what happened to himself."

"She knew I was on the phone when she did it...he was asking for my help to get you two away." Roman looked at Logan again. "Even if we don't accept his apology, the least we can do is take him away from them..."

"Please dad, I know you can't forgive him-."

"I'm leaving this car right now. You two are out of your god damn minds." Logan walked out of the van and immediately looked at Roman eyes wide.

"Please stop!" Virgil jumped out of the van. "DAD STOP!" he grabbed Logan's arm and Logan shook him off.

"How can you agree to help him??" Logan had tears streaming down his face. "After everything he's put us through!? After kidnapping you and almost killing you! How can you forgive him!"

"I didn't. Dad, I didn't. I agreed to get him as well as ourselves away from those women because they hurt him just as much as they hurt us! It's wrong to leave him there!" Virgil looked away. "We would have been the monsters..." Logan shook his head.

"No Virgil, we wouldn't have. Should have just left him to rot." Logan started to walk away.

"Dad stop this!" Virgil went to go after Logan but Roman walked over and held his arm stopping him from running.

"I'll go after him, just go back to the car." Virgil nodded and walked back to the car sitting in the backseat with Remus who was still knocked out. He looked down at his hands as he started crying. He didn't trust Remus, but he didn't want to leave him behind and be the monster they created. He already fucked up so many times in the last two years, he wasn't about to do it again. Remus woke up and looked at Virgil.

"Shit...Virgil please breathe." Virgil didn't realize he was panicking. After a few minutes they got him to calm down and he leaned into Remus.

"Don't leave...don't go back to them." Virgil whispered. Remus looked at Virgil and nodded.

"Alright, I won't." Virgil closed his eyes and fell, leaning into Remus to make sure he didn't leave while he was sleeping. Remus sighed and leaned back against the van. "God damnit kid..." Virgil laughed.

"Suffer asshole." Virgil mumbled as he drifted off to sleep.
