Remy and Emile had only asked a few questions, trying to figure out the situation. They wouldn't be there for the fight, but Emile said he could address any wounds they may get in battle. Patton and Emile were currently in the kitchen working on a salad for lunch. Remy was sitting on the couch watching Logan try and come up with a plan with occasional ideas from Remus.

When Janus walked down the stairs Remy could already feel the bad vibes radiating off him. It was almost suffocating, so Remy decided to check what dream he had last night. Most of what he saw, were dreams he'd planned for Janus, but one stood out. It had a strange aura similar to a nightmare, yet slightly different.

The dream was definitely something one of the twins or himself had created. It was a terrible dream that must've hit Janus hard. It was too dark for Roman, to personal for Remus, and something Remy would never force on one of his friends. When Remy resurfaced in the real world nothing seemed to be different, except he was now on the floor and Emile was looking down on him worried.

Remy blinked a few before sitting up. This had never happened before, so where ever that dream came from must've been protected by something. "Remy! Are you okay, you just passed out!" Emile asked frantically.

"I'm alright babes, probably just my narcolepsy," Remy knew that was bullshit, but he hoped Emile would buy it. It seemed like he did because the therapist smiled before walking back into the kitchen. Remy stood up brushing himself off, before making eye contact with Janus. He must've sensed Remy's lie and was probably confused at why he would lie to Emile.

Remy walked over to Janus before making a follow me hand motion. Janus did, following Janus up the stairs. They stopped in the hallway and Remy quickly asked, "Did you have a nightmare last night?"

Janus seemed immediately more on edge, "...No..."

"For the embodiment of lies, you're really shit at lying," Remy said getting closer to Janus.

"...I'm not lying..." It was even worse this time.

Remy frowned, "Stop trying to lie, I already checked your recent dreams."

"Is that why you passed out!?" Janus asked incredulously.

"Yes, but that doesn't matter right now. I need to warn you about that nightmare you had, I think it came from Damion," Remy said worriedly.

Janus had already figured out it must've been Damion, but that didn't make it any less true. He wholeheartedly believed what the dream had told him, but he couldn't let Remy know that, "Wow I had no idea that a terrible dream where I was tied down in ORANGE chains may have come from Damion! Thank you so much for telling me!"

Remy didn't appreciate the attitude, but he guessed, he was being a bit stupid. He should've known that Janus would've figured it out already. "Alright as long as you know. I'm gonna monitor your dreams tonight to make sure he doesn't interfere again," Remy said before walking off.

Patton sat across from Janus in the tiny backyard. All the grass was dead or pulled out, and there was a small birdbath filled with a mysterious purple liquid that dissolved any of the deformed birds that fell into it. Janus was sitting cross-legged talking about something, but Patton wasn't listening. He was more worried about accidentally hurting Janus while in frog form.

"Patton!" Patton was brought back to his senses with a small jump.

"We're you even listening?" Janus asked.

"No..."

Janus sighed before standing up, and walking over to Patton. He sat down, before pushing some hair out of Patton's face to look him straight (Gay) in the eye, "Listen, I understand that your scared, but we need to do this, so take a deep breath and listen."
