An attempt was made

"Why did you do that to him? He never did anything to you. He didn't deserve that." Subject 1 growled across the desk at Gaster who was drinking a cup of coffee with 'Worlds best d̶a̶d̶ Scientist' printed onto the side. "And you did?" Asked Gaster, not looking up from the papers he was reading. "Does only his suffering matter to you? Interesting." He continued, scribbling down a note in the corner of one of the papers. "Why did you make us? Why are you doing this to us?" Subject 1 continued, ignoring the question given to him. "...Is someone making you do this? Is that it? Do you not have a choice?" Gaster looked up slightly, staring at the inquisitive young skeleton. Suddenly the moment was shattered by the buzzing of a phone, causing Gaster to nearly leap out of his bones. "I thought I turned this off-" Gaster hissed to himself, pulling his phone out of his pocket where the notification for a incoming call from Alphys popped up. With a sigh he put the phone to his ear. "Yes Dr Alphys what is it?" He asked, turning away from Subject 1. "...Yes, i'm fine... Is something wrong? ...Late? Late for what?" As Gaster spoke on the phone Subject 1 came up with a daring plan, looking back in the direction of the cells. "Yes, but that's tomorrow, isn't it? ...Is it really...? Are you sure?" Asked Gaster, "...I... I must have lost track of the time... I know it's not like me, but I... I haven't gotten much sleep lately." He continued, putting his hand on his head. Silently Subject 1 got up, running down one of the many corridors back to Subject 2. "Bro! Bro!" He exclaimed, running up to the laser door. "Brother!! How did you get outside?" Asked Subject 2, standing up and shaking him arms in excitement. "I snuck away while he wasn't looking- I'm gonna get you outta here, okay? Then we're gonna get out of here!" Subject 1 said happily, a big goofy smile on his face. "Oh,  yay! But... how?" asked Subject 2, losing a bit of his excitement. "Um... i'm still working on that part. Uh... he does something to the wall when he opens it, doesn't he?" asked Subject 1, putting his had to his mouth deep in thought. "Yeah, he touches that thing over there, I think maybe put your hand on it!" Subject 2 exclaimed, pointing to a panel on the wall with a skeletal hand outline on it. "ok... mmph!" Subject 1 grunted, reaching up to the panel, placing his hand randomly on it. "It's not working, only one of the lights went on!" Subject 1 complained, taking his hand off it. "Try using two hands!" Subject 2 suggested. "He only uses one though." Subject 1 reasoned. "Well his hand are big, you have little baby hands." Subject 2 said. "I do not have baby hands!" Subject 1 harrumphed, glaring at his brother. Subject 2 looked skeptical, "You have the most itty bitty hands, brother, like tiny little- AHHHHHH!" He began before a scream escaped his mouth. "hgh- no!" Subject 1 yelled as his SOUL turned a light blue color and he was lifted into the air. "Apparently i'm going to have to keep a closer eye on you. You're slipperier than i thought." Gaster said, holding Subject 1 away from the door. "no- no, I was so close-!" Subject 1 exclaimed, reaching back out for the panel next to the door. "Are... are we in trouble...?" asked Subject 2 nervously. "Yes. Under other circumstances, it'd be sufficient to punish only you, Subject 1, but your frailty makes it difficult. So... You BOTH will be coming with me." Gaster said, voice laced with venom as he placed his hand on the panel and the lasers deactivated. "Don't- don't hurt him!! He didn't even do anything! He didn't DO ANYTHING!" Subject 1 screamed, reaching out for Subject 2 but Gaster just gripped his SOUL harder, causing Subject 1 to curl up in pain. "Think about that next time you run from me." Gaster said, turning to face Subject 1, glaring deeply into his eyes. "Come on." Gaster growled, turning and walking down the hall, guiding Subject 2 in front of him while Subject 1 floated behind.
