I could say there is a Trigger Warning for this chapter

________

Patton had just shielded Logan and him from another fire blast when out of the corner of his eye he sees Virgil get thrown into a house across the battlefield, the force of the throw caused the house to collapse on top of him. He hears Logan angrily mutter under his breath and from the side he hears Roman yell, "Shit! Virgil! Patton! Logan! We need to help him!" With that shout, Roman slashed out at the dragon again.

Roman created a distraction and both Logan and him ran towards the direction of the building Virgil was buried under. They reached the house and Patton immediately dropped to his knees and started digging into rubble desperately. Logan stood behind him and started using his telekinetic abilities to lift the bigger pieces of debris from the pile. Patton could see the poorly hidden concern etched on Logan's face as he pushed himself to remove the pieces that were bigger than he should have been moving.

After a few seconds of digging, Patton moved a stone and out from under it he saw a bit of the black sleeve of Virgil's hoodie peaking out, "Virgil! Logan, I found him! Help me get him out." Now that they knew where to dig, they were able to get his body out much faster.

When they finally had him dug out, Virgil was curled into himself and unconscious. Patton pulled him a little bit away and rolled him onto his back. He looked terrible. There were cuts and bruises everywhere. His hoodie was torn and his eyeshadow was smeared. What Patton was trying to ignore the most was the state that his left leg was in. It had been the hardest part to get unburied as it was under the largest chunk of the house. Patton was no doctor, but he knew that Virgil's leg wasn't supposed to look like that. Logan reached down and placed his fingers on Virgil's wrist, "There's a pulse... but it's weak."

Logan worriedly looked at Patton. Patton looked down at Virgil's beaten form, "It's not much, but I'll make it work" with that he started healing Virgil. Logan moved to stand guard and watched Roman continue to fight the dragon. Patton could see him shift nervously in his spot watching from behind a wall. "Logan if you're worried about Roman, why don't you go help him?"

"Though I would like to do nothing more, I believe that I will be more of a hindrance to Roman than an assistance. If I were to help from here, it would only put you and Virgil in danger. Roman appears to be handling the dragon just fine, no need to draw any unnecessary attention. I'll keep continuing to observe from here and help if needed."

Patton continues to heal Virgil and listens to the sound of the fight. After a bit, Patton and Logan hear a groan and their eyes immediately snap to look at Virgil. He opened his eyes slowly, he blinked a couple times and then focused his attention towards them "Pa...Patton?"

Patton let out a muffled cry that he didn't know he was holding as he bent his head down to rest it on Virgil's chest. His only focus for the last few minutes was to keep Virgil alive, he had blocked his feelings from his mind to focus. Now that Virgil was awake, the relief was overwhelming. Patton eventually sat up and with Logan's help, they slowly moved Virgil into a sitting position. They heard him groan lowly as they slowly moved him to lean against a broken piece of wall.

Virgil reached up and wiped some of the tears that were still falling down his face, Patton grabbed at his hand and just held it for a second. He's okay. Everything is going to be okay. Logan sat on the other side of Virgil, he had summoned a handkerchief and started gently wiping the grime and blood of Virgil's own face. Patton could barely hear the muffled conversation the two were having but could see the relief clear as day of Logan's face.
