No ship
Warning: death, talk of murder, talk of threats
A/N: Chapters 10 and the Kindgom AU pt.2 were really confusing so I deleted them. This one will be short.

Patton slumped against Logan's shoulder.

"So this is it, huh?"

"Yeah." Logan responded, too tired to form a better response. They watched Deceit as he sat down on the other side of Logan in the almost empty mindscape.

"It-it's been terrible working with you." Deceit lied, starting to cry a little. Patton smiled.

"Likewise." Patton responded. The nice moment was ruined by Remus' blood curdling shrieks as he entered the room.

"What- what if w-we murdered the other patients so the doctors would HAVE to focus on us. O-or we could threaten our doctor to give us more life su-support, or-" Remus looked to his brother for support. Roman smiled at his brother with tears streaming down his face and shook his head.
Remus started crying and pounding his brother's chest, muttering incoherent phrases along the lines of "This isn't fair" and "Why us?"as he sank to the floor. Roman picked his brother up and helped him walk to their friends. They sat across from them making a circle. They all sat in a comfortable silence and waited for Virgil to arrive for the last time.

"Guys.." Virgil started when he appeared. They all turned to see his unforgettable tear stained face. "I'm...scared." The others beckoned him to sit with them in their small circle. They knew they had no more comforting words left to share but they knew their presence was enough.

They all looked at each other when they heard the beep of the heart monitor stop. As much as they loved being there for Thomas, they felt a big breath of relief exit. This was it. The moment they've been preparing for since Thomas's birth. They smiled at one another.

"Guys? Are you ready?"
They turned to find Thomas, old and grey. He stumbled across the mind places' ground to his sides, smiling.

"We did it!" Patton exclaimed as he hugged Thomas.

"I love you kiddo." He whispered

"Love you too Pat." Thomas said. "Now let's go! We haven't got all eternity to find out what's next for us.
