"When This Ends In Disaster, Find Either Myself, Or Sweet Pea And Get The Hell Out Of Here, Okay?"

Jughead and Archie stood awkwardly in front of Leon's front door. "Are you sure this is a good idea?" Archie questioned. He truly believed Leon would shut the door in their face, in his face.

"He's the only one who can help us. Rosalie isn't going anywhere near that Satan's den, we'll be killed, not only by Leon, but all of the young Serpents" Jughead replied.

Archie knew Jughead was right. He knew they would kill him, they already hated him, dragging Rosalie into the Ghoulies territory would end with his head on a stick, no exaggerating.

"The younger Serpents respect him, his the only male Northsider they like. They don't just tolerate him, he's sleeping with one of them" Jughead said. "Wait, Leon's sleeping with a Serpent?" Archie knew Leon was openly gay, he didn't expect any of the Serpents to be gay, he thought they'd receive hate. 

Of course Joaquin was with Kevin at one point, though that was only because he was the Sherriff's son, at least that was what Archie believed

Jughead knocked on the door. "Remember, let me do the talking."

The door opened revealing a scowling Leon. "What the hell is he doing here?" "He's here for me, not to cause any trouble" Jughead assured him.

"Why are you here?" Leon asked. "We need your help" Jughead told him. Leon hummed. "Interesting. Why should I help you?" He pointed at Archie. "Why should I help him?"

"This isn't just for me, it's for the rest of the Serpents" Jughead said causing Leon to scoff.

"Don't act like you care. The only thing you care about is keeping the peace, stopping the disturbing cause by that piece of shit standing next to you!"

Archie cautiously stepped forward, his hands in the air. "Leon, this benefits your friends, it benefits Rosalie's friends, her Serpent." "Think of Sweetlie" Jughead interjected.

Leon licked his lips frustrated. He would do anything for Sweetlie, anything to protect them and if he had to do something for them, he would.

"What do you need me to do?"

"We're going into the Ghoulies territory, we're challenging them to a drag race" Jughead told him, causing the boy to chuckle. "You really think they'll agree with that?" "We have to try" Archie said.

"Fine. But if they try grab us, I'll happily hand you over Andrews. I'll even tell them how to torture you" Leon told him.

Archie and Jughead shared a look. They both knew he wasn't lying, the boy would hand Archie over with no hesitation.

Leon stood up and left the house, the two boys following him. "Let me guess, you need me to give you a lift." "Yeah, we do" Archie said.

They drove to the Ghoulie territory, the House Of The Dead. Unsurprisingly Tall Boy sat near Malachi. Leon used to like Tall Boy, but he found him to be treacherous. He made it clear he would give the Serpents up to the Ghoulies.

"Tell me, why are you here? Why did you bring your Serpent Lover with you?" Malachi asked. "First of all, I'm soon to be a Serpent" Leon said. Tall Boy chuckled. "Is that so. It's about time."

Jughead elbowed Leon, before speaking. "Me and my boys want to challenge you to a race." "I'm not one of your boys, I barely even like you. I struggle to tolerate you" Leon admitted causing Tall Boy to chuckle.
