After the Redux - But What If...?

MAY 16TH, 2021

A/N:

Hello, hello, and welcome, fanders, to yet another oneshot. Finally, my inspiration kicked back in. Just a heads up, however - this is an AU of an already existing oneshot from this book, 'After the Redux 2'. I suggest reading that first.

Tags (really, just ships and characters):
- Analogical
- (Hints at) one-sided Roceit
- Unsympathetic Roman
- Orange side
- Pink side
- Dragon Witch

Warnings: Angst, violence/violent descriptions, descriptions of blood.

You may proceed!

Previously on After the Redux...

"Where is Roman?"

"What did you do to him?!"

"We need him back."

"How is this MY fault?!"

"This isn't working."

"Logan's been giving me signals, something's wrong."

"You're hurting us, you're hurting yourself and, most importantly, you're hurting Thomas!"

"If you lay a single finger on Virgil, I'll-"

"Roman, put the knife down!"

"Step away from Patton, Remus."

"Roman, you killed Virgil and Logan! You killed them and now they're gone forever!"

"We can get them back, right? RIGHT?!"

"If he dies, WE die!"

"Remus, I need your help. I have to bring them back."

Remus scoffed. "Bring them back? After you violently murdered them?"

"That is, indeed, what I said," Roman impatiently said from outside the room.

"Why would I trust you? Why now?"

"Because there's not much time. They've been sent to the Pit of Memories, if we don't do anything, they'll vanish. You... know for how long."

"...Forever."

The silence coming from his brother was enough of an answer.

Remus got up and opened the door. He eyed Roman up and down before sighing.

"What do we do first?"

"Janus!" 

Remus's voice echoed through the halls. He and Roman bursted into the snake side's room, who gave an aggravated sigh. 

"Why does everyone keep breaking into my ro-" 

He froze, his mouth agap, when he spotted Roman.

"What is he doing here?"

"No time to explain, though I'd love for it to be, because I'm as confused as you," Remus raised an eyebrow. "We need to go."

Janus looked at Roman. "Go where?"
