Warnings: Language, discussions of murder, suicide, torture and brainwashing

After they called Gerard to gather the Killjoys (again) Emerson, Alva, and Shadow were left to just in the living room. Emerson and Alva were biting their nails. Shadow was pacing back and forth. They didn't say anything. They didn't make any plan. They just stayed in silence and thought. Alva was still thinking about earlier and how much Emerson had started to mean to them. And about how they what they were going to do about Shadow, because they understood what it was like to lose a parent, and even if they were mad at them right now, not enough to let them feel as alone as they did. Emerson was thinking about what he could do to make things better for Alva and assure them he'd always be there for them. And he thought about Remington, his best friend, his brother was dead and nothing could fucking change that fact. That he would never see Remington again. And, oh yeah, all of his memories and everything he knew about his childhood and himself were lies made up by a company Sebastian is in charge of! His big brother, the man who acted like a father to him, the man who he'd make fun of and got in fights with, but at the end of the day, the brother he loved.

The man who soon knocked on his door with tears in his eyes.

Sebastian quickly crossed the threshold and grabbed Emerson by his shoulders. His blue eyes were flooded with fears as he asked, voice cracking with emotions "Remington's dead?!"

Sebastian must have not seen the anger rippling in Emerson's brown eyes as he stared straight though his brother's bullshit. "You'd know, wouldn't you, Doctor Man?" Emerson said, his tone almost taunting him with the use of his moniker.

Sebastian's eyes quickly widened, looking over his shoulder at Shadow who was glaring at him while accepting Autumn's hug. Upon hearing this Autumn pulled away from Shadow and looked between them and Alva, with confusion. His gaze flicked back to Emerson and he said "Can we do this somewhere else?"

"Do what?" Autumn asked. She was ignored and Emerson said "No. We're doing this here and now. You killed and tortured and brainwashed people."

"Emmy, I have no clue what your talking about. The Doctor Man burning our beds was just a silly game we played as children."

"Yes you do. I know Liseil is real."

"Who's selling you this bullshit, Emerson?

"My parents." Shadow said, stepping forward "Lindsey Ballato and Gerard Way."

Sebastian paled for half a second before regaining composure and declaring "I have no idea who Gerard Way is, but I guess... now that I think about it... Lindsey Ballato is your mother," Sebastian said, finally realizing how bad he fucked up.

"Well I guess you're going to get a chance to meet him, seeing as he's pulling into the driveway with the rest of the Killjoys." And sure enough, Emerson opened the door to the small group of angry Killjoys who thought they could stomach seeing the Doctor Man in person. Viola and Jason (who's knuckles were turning white as he clenched his hand into a fist at his sides and was counting his breaths in an effort to not murder Sebastian) walked over to Shadow, Alva, and Autumn. Gerard and Mikey stood in the middle of the room, glaring at Sebastian. Brendon and Josh stood against the wall, away from Sebastian, but gave him an equally pissed off looks. The first person to speak was Lindsey, who spat in his face and said "You can stop fucking pretending, Danzig."

Sebastian looked at Lindsey with a face of shock and confusion, before that masked melted away to one of annoyance, glaring back at Lindsey for a split second, then changed his expression once more into a smug, condescending one, tutting "What a surprise Lyn-Z, you were always so dedicated to the cause."
