"Get him! Roman!" Virgil shouted, pulling up his princely friend. "Patton, Logan!" he snapped.
"Get him! Roman!" Virgil shouted, pulling up his princely friend. "Patton, Logan!" he snapped.
Patton immediately rushed to help.
"Not so simple, now." Deceit's voice chuckled. Roman was pulled out of view, leaving Virgil kneeling there, defeated.
"He can't just take Roman like that!" said Patton, at this point crying quite hard from both knowing this wasn't good at all and that he possibly lost his friend, and then remembering what Logan had said only minutes ago.
"He can, he's suppressed you and Logan before." growled Virgil.
"I know he has, but I thought he was done! We have to get him back!" said Patton.
"Deceit doesn't just stop. He's always got a hidden plan, and agenda, something to twist my gears-our, sorry. Our gears. And it's a figure of speech, Logan." Virgil interrupted before he could speak.
"Well can't we at least save Roman?!" asked Patton.
"Actually, would it be so bad if we left him?" Logan asked. "He's been malfunctioning for a while now, and I don't think it would do any harm to simply forget about him for the moment."
"But… But… As long as we don't lose him forever," said Patton.
"Why not? We don't need him."
"Logan!!" Virgil said, taken aback. "We need Roman! Loathe as I am to admit it, he makes us complete. Everyone's got to have the team idiot, but he's also Thomas's emotion, his romantic side, and the one we can always rely on to keep forging on. We wrote angsty poetry together for so long, and it… wouldn't be the same. As much as I dislike him."
"Logan, just stop! He's right, we need him! Stop hating everyone!" said Patton.
"Hatred is emotional, and a useless emotion at that. I'm being pragmatic, moving with the times. He keeps Thomas from his maximum potential! He's inefficient! We don't need him anymore." Logan said, absolutely livid.
"Stop being rude, Logan! We still need him!" said Patton.
"No, we don't, and I'm starting to think Thomas could do without a moral compass as well." Logan snapped. "Logan, stop, you're not yourself. You're scaring me, and you're hurting Dad!" Virgil said, using the fatherly label to refer to Patton and make a point.
"We need to fix this. We can't do it if you're going to be like this, Logan. All of us are needed and we all need to work together to fix this!" said Patton.
"I don't need you. I don't need any of you to keep Thomas stable, and I can do better without you." Logan said darkly. "Patton, let him go. We'll get Roman back and show Logan we're right." Virgil said, steering them away.
"Let's do this, Virgil!" Patton said, seemingly having his happiness return.
"Yeah, sure." he said grimly. He was so sure Deceit was behind all this.
"We will fix this," Patton said.
"Yeah, sure." No, not fine. Not fine at all. "We'll do this." We can't it's impossible.
"We will," Patton said, looking at Virgil. "I promise."
"Thanks, Patton." And they had always broken their promises, why should Patton be any different? Because he doesn't lie. What if he is? Virgil shook the thoughts away, and shook his head. "We don't even know where Roman is." he started.
"Well hello there, Princey. Nice sleep?"Deceit asked. The room was dim, you could hardly see a thing.
"Well, for right now, but we will find him," Patton said.
"Why did you do this?" Roman asked.
"Alright. But where should we look?" Virgil asked.
"No cliche where am I, what happened to me? Oh, Roman, you do disappoint. Come on, what's the problem here? Are you uncomfortable? I could give you a better couch if you'd like?" Deceit said mockingly.
