《Shadow》Part eleven Logan's perspective
Advertisement
I know that Virgil wasn't actually kidnapped, first of all, it would be very difficult for him to kidnap himself and secondly, we have been texting so that he could ask me for permission to stay in my treehouse. I am more curious about the wings that he had's composition, they were definitely not made from any material that I recognized. He has also requested that if the others leave the house if I could inform him so that he can retrieve some things. They are likely simply tools from his base and his large collection of instruments. And I am presuming that after he does I will be kidnapped again.
Patton on the other hand, metaphorically of course. He has been shaking and crying pretty much nonstop since we received the note from Virgil. In an attempt to comfort him I have been snuggling him and petting his hair. It has been shown to relieve stress and to help extensively with improving mood and overall health.
Then we have Roman, he has been an emotional wreck. I have had to knock him out multiple times because he would otherwise become much too reckless. He is a danger to everyone himself included.
Patton made Roman come grocery shopping with him and they left me alone to sleep since I had been staying awake to look after them. Once they have left I text Virgil and head into bed.
I awake handcuffed and blindfolded in what I can only assume to be the base of one of Virgil's villainous acquaintances. "You didn't have to handcuff me, as long as I am allowed to either design or am given problems to solve I will be perfectly numb emotionally," I state calmly. "Virgil was right you are a nerd, he had better be bringing Starbies for me." He responds with an undertone of sass. "Remy you can remove the blindfold that is over my eyes, I know that you are there and I am not planning on escaping." Remy removes the blindfold and hands me a Rubix cube to solve for a pass time.

Remy is currently acting as a chaotic neutral super character in our town. He calls himself Sleep and acts as a nuisance to both the so-called heroes and the so-called villains. He frequently galivants around and forces them into a sleep state in which only he can awaken them making the fights much more difficult. I have wished to study his powers in person for quite some time now and I am especially curious as to if he uses them in his personal life.
"If it is alright with you I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to study your powers, however, I would need someone for you to use them on aside from me." I ask him monotone as always. "Fine Virgil did tell me to be nice to you, Emille can we borrow you for a bit?" He groans out. "He wants to study your powers?" Emille asks calmly. "That would be satisfactory since I am handcuffed it would be very helpful if you would set my phone to make an audio recording so that I can take notes," I state gesturing at my phone with my head. "Fine, now can we start or do you have any more requests?" Remy says as he starts a recording for me.
"Test 28493, Subject Remy Tidur, otherwise known as sleep is to be tested on his ability to force humans into an unconscious state at will that only he may wake them from. The subject will be testing his ability on Emille Picani with Logan Mantiq supervising and conducting the test. No equipment aside from the subjects will be used, however, Mr. Picani will be laid on a cushioned surface before we begin to minimize the chances of injury. Start time 8:47 am on Friday, October 18th, 2019." I say loudly so that the microphone in the phone will pick up my voice. "So I just put him to sleep?" Remy asks clearly annoyed. "Yes and then I will attempt to awaken him before you use your powers to do so if necessary." He proceeds to hover his hand above Emille's head emitting a light grey glow that appears comforting. "Let it be known that the subject has his hand approximately 2 inches above Mr. Picani's head and is emitting a light grey glow from his hand." Emille then begins to fall asleep and look peaceful. "Mr. Picani has now gone into an unconscious state and appears to be feeling rather calm," I state clearly.

"Well no duh, he is dreaming about snuggling with puppies at his favourite cafe," Remy says as if that would be common knowledge. "How would you have come to possess that information?" I ask him. "If I want to I can also take control of their dreams, it just takes more energy." He says clearly exhausted. "Why would you be doing it now then?" I ask him ignoring the fact that we are in the middle of a test. "He has bad nightmares so I take control of his dreams every time he goes to sleep so he doesn't have to deal with them. And if you tell him how much it drains me I will kill you." He tells me his confidence dissipating. "Well then I will wake you when you are needed but you may rest while I continue the testing," I tell him lightly. "Thank you, Logan." He says before lying down and going to sleep. I test Emille for exactly an hour before waking Remy and having him wake Emille. "The test has been concluded," I state once we are done.
Remy went back to sleep for a while only to be awoken when Virgil returned with Starbucks. "You know that Princey is going to hurt you pretty badly when he sees you tonight." Emille finally says. "He may actually attempt to murder you, ever since you kidnapped yourself he has been rather unhinged. If he gets to be too dangerous you may need to knock him out so it may be beneficial to have Remy nearby." I inform him. "Sounds good, before long I will have kidnapped or drugged everyone who has ever talked to me semi-nicely," Virgil says solemnly. "That is such a fucking mood." Comments Remy. "Do we need to put you back in therapy Remy?" Asks Emille. "Only if it's sex therapy and you are the therapist." He responds. "Ew, get a room!" Shouts Virgil and they all burst into laughter. I simply hope that Patton is alright.
