Dad (Logicality/Complete)

Chapter 4: Virgil

(Warning: Swearing, Talk of Abuse, fluffy reunion, injuries)

      (Third Person)
Logan stared at the boy before him, his words getting caught in his throat. This boy was Virgil. This TEENAGER was Virgil.

Said teenager looked very anxious and paranoid, checking behind him every now and then and keeping his head down.

"Y-you're..." Logan trailed off, tears fighting to escape. "You're Virgil. My Virgil?" Logan felt his legs grow a bit heavy.

"Yes. Can I come in please? I'd rather not get caught." Virgil was holding his arm nervously.

Logan opened the door wider to let the emo in, still trying to process everything. His son was home. He hadn't even touched Virgil's room since he got back.

Virgil rushed in, shutting the door behind him. He turned to Logan. "Sorry, I'm not supposed to be here. Mother would be angry."

Logan turned towards Virgil, raising an eyebrow. "Is that how you got that black eye?" Logan's face shifted from calm to an angry worried real quick.

Virgil looked down and nodded. "Not... Not the only thing.." Virgil let go of his arm. "Can you help me get my jacket off?"

Logan nodded, walking over to Virgil quickly. Virgil unzipped his jacket and slid one arm out of the jacket. "This is where I need your help.." Logan nodded again, carefully helping his son take off the jacket. The sight turned his stomach sour.

Virgil's arm was popped out of place at the shoulder, a long with several bruises and cuts littering the entire arm. Logan looked at his other arm and gasped. Both Virgil's arms were bruised and cut up. "Did she do this to you?" Logan asked, his voice showing abvious anger.

"Y-yes... Can you help?" Virgil said, wincing at any little movement of his dislocated arm.

Logan bit his lip. "Though I am a doctor, I am a doctor in science. I can try to relocate your arm, but it will be severely painful to you and me."

"It's okay, just please do it..." Virgil's voice cracked. He had tears in his eyes.

Logan gulped. "Okay. Take a seat on the couch." Logan felt the pressure, pulling out his phone. He googled how to do this real fast before joining his son on the couch. "It's going to be sore for awhile after this." Logan carefully grabbed Virgil's arm. "Ready?"

"Ready"

Logan took a deep breath before shoving Virgil's arm back into place. Virgil went wide eyed and screamed a blood curdling scream that caused Logan to flinch.

Little did the two know, Patton was standing at the door. He was wide eyed, holding a trey of cookies. He quickly knocked on the door. "Logan?! Are you alright in there?!"

Logan looked at the door then back ti Virgil. "The first room to the right upstairs, quick!" Virgil didn't think twice, getting up and running upstairs.

Logan launched up, tripping over Virgil's jacket and falling onto the glass table. The table shattered on impact, causing a loud shattering sound and Logan to groan.

"Im coming in!" Patton shouted before opening the door. He gasped, placing the cookies down and rushing over to Logan. "What happened?!"

Logan accepted his help, getting to his feet. "It seems I have tripped and fallen." He said, dusting off his pants. "Thank you for your assistance Patton."

"No problem Lo! I heard a scream then the glass, I thought you were getting murdered!" Patton ruffled his hands through Logan's hair to get any glass out of it.

Logan blushed. "I didn't scre- I mean." He panicked slightly.

"You didnt scream? So who did?" Patton looked confused. Before Logan could respond, Patton gasped. "Your arm!"

Logan's arm was bleeding, a piece of glasses stuck in it. "Oh. I can take care of it, I assure you."

Patton didn't listen, already heading upstairs to find a first aid kit. "Patton! There's no need.." Logan watch Patton open the first door to the right and freeze.

Logan quickly joined Patton and looked in, seeing no Virgil. Patton was looking around the room. "Was this Virgil's room?"

Logan sighed. "Yes, they took him that day when they promised me I had longer. Then... Then they took me."

Patton turned to Logan. "Took you? Took you where?"

Logan eyed Patton without turning his head. "Prison. My ex lied at the stand saying I abused Virgil and her." Logan looked forward again, wondering where Virgil was.

"Im so sorry Lo! How long were you in there?" Patton looked ready to cry.

"A year. That's why I 'disappeared'. It's in the past now. Im just hoping Virgil is okay." Logan closed his eyes a minute, thinking back to just minutes earlier. Right then, there was a shift in the closet that caught both their attention.

Before Logan could stop him, Patton walked over to the closet and opened it to see a tensed up teenager staring back at him.

"Uh... Hi"
