《Shadow》Part eighteen Roman's perspective

Advertisement

Patton just told me everything and it makes sense. Logan is the only person smart enough to be able to make us see two of him however he did it. Logan is Shadow and Virgil is helping him, they have been manipulating us. Did they even care about us or was this all just to mess with us. Did they even care about us, did I fall in love with Virgil just to get my heart broken. Is Pat never going to recover, will I? At least we're safe here and Patton's cousins garage because that isn't weird at all. I swear if I ever see Logan again he is going to die he pretended like he cared about both of us he held me while I was having panic attacks and yet he did all of this he hurt Patton there's no forgiving that why would you toy with our hearts did he even care about what happened to me when Remus had me, you probably didn't it's just another one of these games to him the only thing I can't understand is why.

Is he just crazy, is he a psycho, what's this an experiment? But it doesn't matter I have to look after Patton regardless of how I feel how betrayed I feel Patton has had it so much worse and I need to look out for him. You know what I'm going to confront them I am going to go full fiery bastard on them and if I have to I will burn that house down. I just need to figure out when I mean Emil and Remy are gone I could tell Patton I'm going for a shower that'll work. "Patton I'm going to go take a shower, will you be okay for a while?" I ask. "Yeah go for it!" He responds smiling. Once I close the door I slip out and order an Uber from my phone.

Standing outside the house I start to realize that this was an absolutely stupid idea but I'm here so I guess I'm going to do this. I step up to the front door and without fully thinking it through I kick it as hard as I can knocking the hinges off so I can enter. I feel the rage building up inside of me as flames start to lick up my arms starting from the very tips of my fingers and forming almost an armor. " Logan where the hell are you!" I scream! I can feel the soft warmth of the flames burning hotter and hotter and my anger burns. They rush into the room eyes red and faces splotchy. "Roman?! Why are you covered in fire?" Logan exclaimed. "I swear to god I'm going to kill you, why would you hurt Patton like that! Logan or should I say Shadow. You are a fucking menace to society, but that all ends today. You have three options, either you fight me and will likely die, you try to run and definitely die or I am taking you to the one person who can take your powers away for good. Now pick!" I spit my words as the fire around me grows. "Roman I need you to calm down and I can explain everything but I need you to calm down please," Virgil says tears pricking his eyes, looking around better Logan has himself pressed against the wall with a large burn on his arm. "Why should I believe you after what he did to Patton he hurt him, he could have killed him and for what to toy with his emotions?" I am yelling again but this time not with anger but with sadness and confusion. Maybe this doesn't make as much sense why would Logan do this. Before I can keep spiralling I feel a sharp pain to my head and the world goes black.

I wake up in a full bathtub with Virgil sitting beside me watching me anxiously. "Logan! He's awake!" He shouts, I instantly try to lunge but I can't my hands are cuffed together. "Sorry here let me unlock those I just didn't want you to hurt yourself and that was the easiest way to do it." Virgil says taking a key out of his pocket and unlocking my wrists. "Thanks." I say rubbing my wrists. "It's not Logan is it?" I say sheepishly. " No," he says, and he gently moves his fingers in the air causing a deep purple rift in the air. It almost looks like a gateway into the galaxy. I only snap out of my awe when I see water drip onto his hand. "I'm sorry Roman I really am, I never meant to hurt anybody else I just needed something that Logan couldn't see. I knew there were superheroes out there who would fight me and it was easy enough to trick Logan into giving me plans for anything I could need. I didn't know that it was you guys and when I found out that I was in too deep. That's why I ran but I needed Logan's help with things so I got him to come and help me, but he was so in love I couldn't make him stay. I'm so sorry." He rambles on and on revealing so much information that I couldn't have ever imagined. "But Logan how does he fit into all this?" I ask having not noticed Logan had walked in. "For a long time I didn't know but once I found out I wanted to make sure that everyone was safe so that's what I did, I protected you all." Logan says and I can see he has clearly been crying. "So you didn't do this to hurt Patton?" I ask. "Of course not I love him." He responds.
