TW: Little violence from Remus and more drug use

Logan's POV:

"Thomas!" I called just as I rose up next to him. He was eating popcorn and threw it all over himself. He groaned.
"What? What's so important you had to interrupt my movie?" I turned to see him watching Aladdin (probably due to Roman's recent obsession with the film). I shook my head.
"This is much more important than some silly cartoon." Thomas sighed and turned off the TV.

"You have my full attention." He said unenthusiastically as he started to pick up spilled popcorn.
I nodded. "Might as well just come out and say it...Patton is missing."
"What?" Thomas asked, not picking up popcorn anymore. "How can he go missing? He's inside my head. He can't just...disappear..."
"We believe he's being held captive somewhere in your mind." I explained. Thomas began biting his lip. "Patton controls your heart." I continued. "That's the only part of him we know where to find. The part that's in you."

Thomas threw his hands up guarding his heart.
"Logan...you're not thinking of..."
"WE MUST REMOVE IT!" Roman said suddenly rising up with his sword and making Thomas scream.
"Roman..." I started. He ignored me.
"IF DECEIT WON'T LEAD US TO PATTON, PATTON WILL LEAD US TO PATTON! NOW, GIVE IT!" He shouted lunging at Thomas, sword in hand.
Thomas yelped and jumped away while I grabbed Roman by the collar.

"You moron." I stated. He pointed at Thomas with his sword, stuttering.
"But...b—but if we...Patton..."
"He'll DIE if you take out his heart, you idiotic fairytale!" Roman crossed his arms and sat down on the couch, muttering to himself. I turned back to Thomas.
"Like I was saying..." I continued straightening my tie. "The only part of Patton we have right now is in you. We figured if we can get you to feel Patton's presence, we can get a clue to where he might be." Thomas shrugged.
"OK...how are you gonna do that?"
"Simple." Roman stated. "All we have to do is make YOU an emotional mess." He laughed.

Thomas furrowed his brow, confused until Virgil appeared out of nowhere and cracked his neck.
"Alright." He said cracking his knuckles as well. "Let's get started."

———————

"NO!" Thomas screamed. It seemed to be working.
"Yes." Virgil stated. "You never got her a birthday gift. Now she must hate you."
"I didn't know it was her birthday!" He shouted, breathing a bit heavier now.
"Just a little more, Thomas." I urged, sure that we almost had Patton surfaced.

"What is your hair today, Thomas?" Virgil asked. Thomas had been wearing a hat.
"Not good, Virgil! Why do you think I'm wearing a hat? I already knew that!"
"People are gonna think your lazy." Virgil stated rolling his eyes. "You do nothing all day anyways, it's not that hard to believe."
Thomas was so close. If we could just get him to cry, he would be at the core of Patton.

To bad we had to do it this way...

"Uh...maybe chill out a little, Virgil..." Roman stated. Virgil turned.
"Sorry...too much?" He asked.
"No, we're almost there." I said smiling wearily at Thomas. He nodded, tears building up gradually. We had been at it for over an hour.

"Why is red your favorite color?" Virgil asked, squinting at Thomas.
"I...I don't know...It's a good color..."
"Is it because Joan's favorite color is red?"
Roman looked at Virgil sadly.
"N...No..." Thomas stuttered.
"Are you sure?"
"Um..."
"It's like you're not even your own person." Virgil interrogated. "You just want Joan to like you."

"What?"
"You know they wouldn't like you if you were too different."
"That's not true..."
"In fact, they don't like you."
"What?"
"They just want you to think they do."
"ROMAN?!" Thomas shouted, Roman being the one who controls his passions and confidence.
"HE'S LYING TO YOU!" Roman yelled back.
"And what if it's not only color?" Virgil interrupted. Thomas turned back quickly.
"What if everything you do is a copy of someone else." Thomas whined. "Pretty soon, you won't know who you are anymore. And if you're ever on your own without them, you'll be completely lost." Thomas covered his ears and yelled.
