~Paul's P.O.V~

For the most part, our ride to the docks was silent, besides a few moans here and there from the captives. Upon arriving men were already there opening the back door, pulling out the three. Pat and I got out and followed them, we didn't want any mistakes now. The men half dragged half carried the three onto one of the ships, this one, in particular, was made of dark grey metal with a giant hull for storing, in this case, captives. Once aboard Pat and I led the men carrying the three down below, while the engines were started. The three were sat in line against the hull, their wrists quickly shackled to the rail. The men who brought them down saluted before exiting, leaving us alone. 

In the dim light Edd slowly opened his eyes, he was probably knocked unconscious during all the struggling. "W-what is this.." He breathed out, looking from me to Pat, and then to his bleeding friend. "Tom! Tom wake up!" He yelled, pulling against the chains, his wings attempting to open. "Yeah that.. that won't happen for a while, he had I believe five darts shot at him so... he should be under for quite some time," I said carefully, watching Edd's expression. While Edd was at a loss for what to say Patryck moved to Tom, carefully pulling out the darts. "Regrettably, I fired an actual bullet into his shoulder. We have anything to remove it with?" I asked my comrade, who paused as if in thought. 

"There should be some medical stuff up on deck, I'll be back," Pat responded before leaving up the steps with the darts. I sighed, this really sucked. Pulling out a lighter I lit the cigarette in my mouth, taking a long drag. "Who are you guys..?" Edd mumbled, his shoulders slumping as he gave up on struggling. I leaned back against a pillar, taking the cigar out of my mouth before looking to Edd. "I don't know why you ask seeing as it won't exactly help you in this situation." I paused before sighing. "The name's Paul, the one who left moments ago is Patryck." I finished, taking another drag before blowing out smoke. 

The ginger then started stirring. "Looooovely." I grumbled, purposely drawing out the word. He opened his blue eyes and instantly began to panic, his wings fluttering uselessly against his back. "Why... Why can't I move!?" Matt exclaimed, pulling a few times against the chains before looking at me.  "Because you're chained...?" I responded, arching an eyebrow. "Oh." Was his simple reply before slumping back against the hull. "Well, I found tweezers and bandages." Came Pat's voice as he walked down the steps, both items in hand. "It'll do," I responded while setting the cigar in my mouth, shifting it to the side so I could still speak. 

Straightening up I took the tweezers from Pat before walking over to Tom. 'Still out..' I mentally sighed in relief, pulling the neck of his shirt out so I could see his shoulder. It wasn't oozing blood so I suppose that was good, although this was about to be a pain in the ass. Carefully I fit the tweezers into the hole, pushing them in until they wouldn't go any farther. Pinching them together I slowly pulled back, only to feel a sharp pain in my shin. I ended up yanking the tweezers out faster than expected, blood splashing across Matt who started freaking out and screaming "Don't hurt my pretty face!" Tom hissed in pain, how he woke up so fast I had no clue. 

Patryck quickly wrapped up Tom's shoulder while he was dealing with the pain before backing away. I stood up, glaring at the man before me. "So this is the thanks I get for taking a bullet out of your shoulder." I grumbled, throwing the tweezers with said bullet off to the side. Tom merely glared at me, his completely black eyes showing no emotion. I turned my attention to the other two. Edd was mumbling reassuring words to Matt, who looked to be on the verge of a heart attack. 

"What the hell is this." Tom grumbled, tugging his arms forward in a vain attempt to get free. "For the love of.." I began only for Edd to butt in. "That's Patryck and Paul. We're being held captive." Tom narrowed his eyes before leaning back, his head resting against the hull. "This is a bunch of.." Tom then went off and named every word in his very colorful vocabulary. I sighed. choosing to ignore them. My eyes wandered boredly, the ride wouldn't be too long but still... this was getting awkward.

"What's got you so interested in the ceiling," Patryck said, his eyes lidded in a smug look. "Eh, it's just the most interesting thing here," I responded flatly before deciding to count the nails in each plate. I guess Patryck pulled over two crates because before I registered what happened I was pulled down onto one, conveniently Patryck was there to keep me from falling sideways. I suppose I must've slipped off into a light sleep, the last thing in my memory was my head against Pat's shoulder. 

-Time skip brought to you by Paultryck-

The sound of thumping woke me up. Slowly I blinked open my brown eyes to see Red Leader walking down the steps, a malicious grin on his face. Patryck and I stood up quickly and saluted, no need to get him angry. He chuckled before speaking. "Well done, I knew there was a reason you two were my top men." I let my hand drop as he inspected Edd, Matt and finally Tom. "I thought you were dead you commie.." Before Tom could probably finish with his lovely vocab Tord pressed a scarred finger to Tom's lips. He then glanced over his shoulder to Pat and I. "Take these two," He paused, gesturing to Edd and Matt. "to the containment center." "Yes sir." We responded together, unshackling Edd and Matt before getting a decent hold on their wrists. 

We dragged the two off, leaving Tord with Tom. Edd had called frantically to him the whole way off the ship until we finally got inside the base. It was a large metallic building built in the mountains of Tord's home, Norway.  After leading the two down some steps we reached a larger door with a sign that said "Begrensning" Edd and Matt were in silence, most likely from shock. Shifting the grip I had on Edd to one hand I pressed the other against a panel, which lit up as it did a scan. A green light flashed as gears shifted and the door slid open. 

Patryck and I dragged the two in past all the different labs to the cells. Picking an empty one we shoved the two in before locking the door. Edd was quick to wrap his hands around the metal bars, his gaze a mix of anger and worry. "What about Tom?" The sentence seemed forced, I'm fairly sure he is having trouble processing all of this. I could really only offer a shrug.

~Edd's P.O.V~

He just shrugged. What the hell was Tord going to do to Tom? I let my hands fall from the bars, taking a step back. My gaze traveled to Matt who was rubbing at his wrists. "You good..?" I said, sure it was a stupid question to ask, of course, nothing about this is good. "Been better.." He grumbled, his hands falling to his sides. The sound of footsteps made me look back towards the door. It was briefly opened as Tom was shoved forward. He fell forward, ending up on his hands and knees, his wings open. 

There was some shouting in what I assumed was Norwegian as the door was slammed shut. "Tom! What happened?" I quickly asked, moving to help him up. He pushed my hand away and stood on his own, his wings half-open. It only took me a minute to notice the purplish tint of bruising the skin around his neck had taken. "Tom...?" I said carefully, my gaze laced with concern. He shot me a glare before stiffly moving to the back corner of our room. He sat on the ground, drawing his knees to his chest, covering his face with his arms. 

Matt and I shared a look of concern before we slowly moved closer. I tentatively rested my hand on his shoulder to see how he'd react. He didn't. I took a seat next to him and lightly rubbed circles against his back. I guess Matt didn't really know what to do so he ended up next to me, leaning against my shoulder. I carefully opened one wing and let it drape around Matt, the other closed neatly against my back. Tom shivered, his wings pressing seemingly tighter to his back, "Stupid commie.."
