TW:strong cursing and mentions of being intoxicated, cult, brainwashing, experimentation, and kidnapping

"So let me get this straight, you're apart of a cult that kidnaps and experiments of people, and you help brainwash and experiment on people, and you were raised by my biological cousin's mom?" Viola asked, standing next to Brendon.

"Pretty much I guess," He responded.

"And you had a kid with someone who used to work for the people who experimented on you?" Autumn asked Gerard.

"I was drunk," He quietly defended himself.

"If you think about it, so did Ray Toro," Violette observed.

"Toro? Mama you just kidnapped Joe Toro, right?"

"What the fuck? You kidnapped Jason's dad?" Violette exclaimed.

"Yes. We also took Patrick Stumph," Lindsey admitted, not quite being able to meet anyone's eyes.

"So you two took both of Jason's dads?" Viola repeated.

"Both of someone's parents for the stupid briefcase in my room?" Brendon asked, upset by the new information.

Autumn leaned foreword and whispered in Shadow's ear "Do you have a pad on you?"

Shadow nodded and excused the two of them and took their backpack with them as the walked to the hallway "No it's fine I'll just get it myself, thank you though." Autumn said, taking the bag and looking embarrassed.

"It's not the worst thing done in the name of Liseil. In the name of a lie." Lindsey said sadly when Shadow walked back into the living room.

"Liseil's not only destroyed lives but killed them. It's going to take a lot more then admitting your sins for me to trust you." Gerard spat.

"What about Tyler Joesph, do you psychopaths have him to?" Viola asked eyes flickering between Brendon and Lindsey.

"I'm sorry Vi." He said quickly "I was supposed to take him that day I saw you two in the store but I knew I couldn't do that to you. The Doctor Man really wasn't happy he had to get himself."

"You're insane." Said Viola as Autumn walked back into the living room.

"I know, they told us we were saving humanity," He whispered.

"They told us that and then treat us as less then human," Gerard said angerly "I'm done with this, I'm going home, anyone else?" Viola, Violette, Autumn, and Shadow looked at each other and stood with Gerard. Shadow glanced over at a defeat looking Lindsey as they walked out the apartment. The five of them were getting into the car when Brendon ran out of the apartment and looked around at the cars parked in front until he saw Viola seeing in the passenger seat and knocked on the window. She rolled it down for him and he sheepishly asked "You got room for one more? I'm done with this Liseil shit."

"Well you're going to have to sit on someone's lap," Gerard responded "But we'll always have room."
