Luke POV-
God, so much has happened, and it has yet to end. All the shit happening with Tommy and his stupid brothers and his stupid dad, and his chaotic roommates. There's also that extra shit going on, with Quackity, Minx, and Puffy. I should probably deal with that instead of letting things crash and burn, because for some reason they haven't already.
"So he's gonna live?", I ask, slumping down into my seat, Bitzel following in pursuit, "Seems like it, he's gonna be dealing with a lot of problems though, his physical health is in so much danger, i'm surprised he isn't dead", "cant we just, yknow..", I trailed off. Bitzel threw his head back and let out a hearty laugh, "What? Put him out of his misery?", I put my hands up in mock surrender, "Hey, you said it, not me", Bitzel grinned at that, "Christ, Luke. The hero corporation would probably fall apart", "is that not the point?", I asked, and Bitzel shrugged, "that's fair. Kinda depends though, if Deo and Tommy decide they actually want to go through with this", "I guess so", I agreed, but Bitzel was looking at me now, "What do you want to do though?", "I want the hero corporation gone. If there are no Heroes, there is no spotlight for Villains", "What about crime? That wont stop", "That will never stop", I agree, "But the Heroes aren't making things any better, and the Villains are just rebels that openly go against them for the Heroes corruption", "what are we then?", "The same thing", I say, "We are Rebels, activists, if you want to make us sound civil", "We are anything but civil", "well then, activists, if you want to get fancy", I rephrased, making Bitzel snort, "Alright, guys, here's the game plan", Deo falls into a seat in between us, "We have that?", Bitzel joked, "I know right?", Deo said sarcastically, and sighed as he leaned his head back to stare at the ceiling, "what's going on with SBI and Toms right now?", he asked, and me and Bitzel shrugged, "No clue. Wilbur wants Tommy to step down I think", "What?", Deo asked, "From?", Bitzel shrugged, "everything, I suppose. He wants to take care of Tommy now, he doesn't want him to deal with anymore shit, at least that's what Tommy messaged me, like a few hours ago", "How sweet", Deo snorts, "Wilbur's trying to make up for lost time", "seems like it", I agreed, and Bitzel stood up, "well, let's leave that be for now then. What's the game plan?", "Tommy's blood is red venom", "okay", I said slowly, "He wants to use it to tear down the Hero corporation", "His blood..ha, that's poetic in a strange bittersweet sense. He'll be using his own blood, duplicated by his abuser, to tear down what his previously neglectful family built", I said, Bitzel nodded in acknowledgment, "poetic, very, bittersweet, definitely. But deserving, isn't it?", "Truly", Deo muttered, "It really is a shame Dream isn't dead. And even more so now that I know Tommy wants to keep him alive", "Is that true?", Bitzel asks thoughtfully, "I wonder why", I say, even though all three of us know why.
To forgive your abuser is something I find hard to believe to actually happen among some.
Tommy, Tommy, Tommy
Whatever game you are playing at, just know we'll still be here to catch you, whether you fall or not. I know you'll need people to back you up.
"Whose gonna tell Drista that she doesn't actually have two brothers? Unless Sapnap tells her or something", "Well, I mean technically-", "Deo, please, for the sake of my sanity, can we just establish who is related or not?", Bitzel groans, and I laugh, "You guys know Foolish, right?", Deo asks, "Kinda", I nod, "He's also related to Drista and Dream. Puffy I think is their adoptive mom, but she's been restrained by her own son, you know, because Dream wanted to use his governmental power and authority to restrict her. XD was just someone he made up, another persona for him to use in the presence of other Heroes", "so", Bitzel started, "essentially, he's been living a double life as some freaky villain who goes kidnapping children and then another as the leader of the Hero Corporation", "yeah, sums it up. Foolish just doesn't really consider anyone as his family besides Puffy, because he doesn't know Drista is his sister", Deo says, "shit", I laugh dryly, "that's fucked up", "yeah, all of this is", Deo stands up again, "I gotta get back in there and watch the guy suffer now, he may not be dead, but with the pain he's about to deal with, he'll wish he was"
Sapnap POV-
I should tell Phil his wife isn't dead, maybe he'd like me a little more.
"So- this is a lot to take in", Drista muttered, and I laughed, "I told you it would be", "ugh, shut up, so- Dream and XD are the same person?", "Yeah",
"Okay..", Drista murmured, "and foolish- well... I don't quite know how to feel about him being my brother..", "yeah, I figured that's not exactly something you'd be able to stomach this soon anyway", I said quietly, waving my hands around. Trying to get something across. I'm not sure what. I groaned, "god, a lot has happened", I rested my head in my hands. I could feel Dristas eyes on me. "Where is Dream now?", she asked timidly. I don't think I could tell her. Not with what she already knows. "Gone to face his problem, and the mess he made", I settled with saying. Not the whole truth but not a lie.
I was a part of the things he did too, helped him cover it up when I knew I should have exposed everything he was doing to people that could do something about it. Before he grew so much in terms of his influence. He's stacked one scheme on top of another and everyone a part of it will crumble with him, I suppose. The least I can do is try to make things right. Rid myself of everything I did for my best friend, and in turn, becoming just as tainted.
"Fuck", Drista curses, "hey", I scolded gently, grinning at her, seeing she too had her head barried in her hands the same way. "What else can I say?", I didn't say anything to that because she was honestly right. I fell back and stared at her for a little while. "Fuck", I repeated, and she nodded, "exactly"
"So what do we do?", she asked, "we?" I hissed, "you are going to go home. I'll drive you. And you are going to sleep and go do your online courses and live like you normally would. Don't- don't let this be a setback for you, don't let Dream's actions dictate how you live", I said, a little panicked. "This is not your problem, it's his and it's mine. I just told you what was happening because its something you deserve to be aware of. Okay?", she seemed to be contemplating everything I had just said. With a thoughtful, faraway look in her eyes, she nodded slowly. "Okay..", she said, sounding a little tense, but understanding. And that was all I could ask for.
The hell with Heroes and Villains. Why divide one being because of what we see individually. Besides, how can I call myself a Hero with the things I helped Dream get away with? Fucking hell, kidnapping a child. Conducting experiments on him. Life in prison. No, forget that..that was worthy of a death sentence. What was I trying to protect? A man I thought I knew.
If I could go back in time, I would.
