Mad World

The Bad Guys

Kurt's sitting between Blaine and Finn. Across from Sebastian and his daughter.

"So Sylvia, what has daddy been telling you?" Sebastian says sweetly. Kurt can tell its forced and strained.

She looks to Kurt for guidance.

"It's okay sweety," Kurt forces.

"Daddy said that there were bad guys after us. Like from super-hero movies." Sylvia says seriously.

"He said we had to leave, but we would come back! Then we could be happy again!" She smiles at Sebastian.

"But he said you couldn't come with us, because you were our Superman." She says solemnly.

"I don't want Superman though! I want my papa!" She flings her arms around his neck.

Sebastain is stunned before returning the hug.
Then he looks at Kurt who is avoiding his gaze.

"You said that?" Sebastain says.

"That's why I left." He said hollow.

"I-i don't understand. Explain Kurt! You tell me I'm a monster, then you tell our daughter I'm a hero!? What the hell is going on!" Sebastian questions. Kurt shoots back before Sylvia can call out the 'bad word'.

"Four months ago I told that to our daughter. I was so wrapped up in you and you had me so BRAINWASHED I saw you as the good guy! As my Sebastian! Then I met people, friends, and they were NORMAL. They didn't kill, tourture or threaten other people! They fliched at a paper-cut for crying out loud! They never saw the blood baths, heard a gun discharge, never lived in the hell I did!" Kurt rants angrily.

"But you-" Sebastain begins still confused.

"I originally left for our own safety. I had been poisoned, kidnapped, shot at, gunned for and I didn't want that for Sy! I didn't want the next rescue mission to be for my daughter because of a double-cross, a deal gone wrong or ANYTHING else! But then I got a taste of freedom outside the ridiculous wall you built around us, and I realized, there's more to life! More than the death and sorrow! That normal people don't live like that! Only psychopaths and homicidal maniacs." Kurt hisses.

"What happened Kurt!? Something else must of! You left for your safety. As hard as it is, I understand. But now you're treating me like I'm the enemy!" Sebastian says perplexed.

"You're a physcopath Sebastain! You take the law into your own hands. Manipulate, tourture, KILL! You ARE the enemy." Kurt hisses. It was similar to slapping Sebastain.

"No, it's something else. You KNEW what your were getting into before. What aren't you telling me Kurt?" Sebastain probes. Kurt sets his jaw.

"Why don't you just tourture it out of me." He spits. They arrive to the airport.

When Kurt hears Sebastain in the shower he goes back downstairs. The man Sebastain toutured was still there. He was dead. His fingers were burnt and his body covered in deep gashes. In his charred hand he held a picture.

It was of the man holding a child. A girl no older than 6. A woman stood beside them.

"Love you Daddy," he read on the back, "be safe." Read another line.

This man had a family. A daughter and wife.

Sebastain killed him.

Suddenly Kurt no longer saw the man, but himself.

"He killed him!" Kurt gasped.

He ran upstairs to his daughters room.

"Please don't make a scene." Blaine begs Kurt. He simply huffs.

Finn grabs Kurt's arm and nearly drags him to the plane.

"Daddy!" Sylvia cries reaching for him, away from Sebastain.

"Can I please have my daughter. She's afraid of heights." Kurt snaps at Finn.

Sebastain comes up to Kurt and Sylvia dives into his arms.

"It's okay baby girl." Kurt whispers into her hair.

Sebastain feels a mixture of love and envy. He loves his family, but it should also be his job to comfort his own daughter.

"Daddy?" Sylvia asks sleepily.

"Come on honey, we are leaving." Kurt replies shakily.

"Why? Where's Papa?" She questions.

"Papa can't save us anymore baby, bad guys are after us." Kurt says.

It has a hidden meaning. Papa, Kurt's husband, is gone. He's turned into a monster, a bad guy. And he'll come for them.

Later when his daughter asked, he'd tell the tale of his amazing husband, their Superman. He'd say how the "bad guys" were after them. Then he'd say how his brave hero would one day return. Only then could they all be together. Home.
