The basement room was dark and empty. It was the coldest room in the house and it's only light source was one bulb that hung from the ceiling, flickering slightly due to age.

Frank didn't like to use this room, it was for special occasions. He really wanted this room to be where Bert McCracken dies but today, one of his men will suffice.

Andy and Pete dragged the unidentified man down the stairs roughly. He groaned and grunted as his body collided with the wood beneath him. The man couldn't feel his foot anymore and he was pretty sure if he did get out of here he'd never feel it again.

But, he had a suspicion he wasn't going to leave this basement.

The huge room only consisted of one chair directly in the middle of it and a table adorned with all sorts of different torture devices that Frank couldn't wait to use on this man.

Pete and Andy sat the man on the chair, cuffing each of his appendages to the wood. He didn't struggle. He accepted death and honestly wished Frank would just put a bullet through his head now.

However, he knew that it wouldn't be so easy.

Frank followed down slowly after. He wore a Cheshire Cat smile that seemed a lot more menacing in the low light of the basement.

The victim sat tense on the chair, attempting to keep a poker face however Frank could practically smell the mans anxiety radiating across the room.

The room was thick with tension and silence. Pete and Andy stood behind the man in order to deter any attempt of him escaping while Frank slowly made his way to the torture table.

He took his time, letting his fingers trail across the cold metal objects. As the seconds ticked by Frank could practically hear the mans teeth chattering as he shook against his chair.

Frank sniggered at his power before retrieving two small objects to start off lightly with.

"So first, I think I'll ask for your name." Frank spoke up, positioning himself in front the man who attempted to remain strong.

"That's irrelevant." The man spoke out shakily causing Frank to roll his eyes. He fiddled around with the items in his pocket before slipping the knuckle duster on to his fingers and swinging for the man.

He threw 3 more brutal punches until he felt the satisfying crunch of his eye socket and blood dropped from his nose. "Victor Fuentes." The man gasped out as Frank smirked.

"What has Bert planned to do with Gerard?" Frank asked, watching Victor contemplate his options. The tattooed man got bored of waiting, pulling a small knife from his pocket and thrusting it into Vic's thigh.

He let out a shriek of agony, throwing his head back and shaking his body against the chair vigorously. "As soon as I ask a question I want an answer." Frank spat as Vic cried.

"You're fucking psychotic!" Vic exclaimed, cursing at the pain. Frank didn't take the insult lightly. He grabbed the blade that was already lodged in the mans thigh before twisting it and pushing it in deeper than it was originally.

"Fuck, I'll tell you!" He cried, screaming chains of cuss words and rocking against the chair that Pete and Andy kept steady.

"Bert wants an empire bigger than yours and the only way to do that is if your company doesn't exist-" Vic began. Frank rolled his eyes dramatically, punching him in the face once more. He made sure to directly hit his nose, smirking slightly as he knew he'd broke it.

"I don't give a fuck about that, what is he going to do to Gerard?" Frank spoke with annoyance laced in his voice. He'd already sussed out Bert's plan to make sure Frank sold everything off and had no money left and he honestly didn't care. He just wanted his boyfriend back.

Vic whimpered slightly, watching the blood fall from his nose into his lap. "He's just holding him hostage. He-he said that he was gonna torture him for information." Vic stated as Frank growled.

"Torture him how?" Frank asked furiously, getting ready to hit the man again despite the fact he was cooperating.

"He didn't say, he just told us how pretty Gerard was so I think-" Vic was cut off by another brutal punch to the face, this one making him scream out in agony and his lip begin bleeding as well.

"That fucking bastard, I'll fucking kill him." Frank spoke through gritted teeth.

Pete decided to make his way to the table now, picking up the sharpest knife he could find before returning and standing next to Frank.

He crouched down patronisingly and gripped the mans thigh.

"You see, I'm more reasonable than Frankie here. And I'm gonna tell you what I plan to do to you if you don't answer my question so you can decide whether you wanna talk or not, okay?" Pete began causing vic to nod rapidly.

"I have this knife, yeah? And it's really fucking sharp." Pete stated, touching the end of it lightly which immediately made his finger bleed. "If you don't answer this question, I'm gonna use it to carve your skin off like you're a piece of meat. You'll be sat there, alive as I run this blade across your body, sawing off chunks of your skin." Pete spoke darkly, tracing his finger down Vic's trembling arm.

"Are you going to answer my question, Victor?" Pete asked to which Vic replied with a simple 'yes' and vigorous nodding.

"What does Bert plan to do with Mikey Way?" Pete asked.

"Kill him." Vic answered almost immediately.

Pete nodded silently, walking away from Vic. Attempting to breathe properly. Once he'd calmed himself down he lunged back towards the chair.

"Fuckin' asshole!" Pete yelled, shoving a knife into the mans gut.

Vic screamed as Pete continued to stab him, screaming about how he'd burn in Hell for wanting an innocent boy dead.

Andy just laughed and shook his head at his friends out burst. He leaned himself against the torture table, being careful not to sit on a bear trap or something and lit a cigarette.

He examined his friends. Pete who was still impaling the lifeless body, screaming profanities. And Frank who was stood still. Andy could practically hear the cogs turning in the mans brain as he devised a plan.

Andy smirked as he realised that he had his best friends back. He wasn't worried about Gerard's safety at this point because he knew when Frank Iero wanted something, he got it.

And it was pretty obvious that he really wanted Gerard Way back.
