Deceit approached the nerdy boy atop the blue mattress, smirking as he coward against the wall.

"You remind me so much of Virgil. Powerful, yet so easy to manipulate."

"D-deceit, please," Logan found himself begging. "You can't do this to Thomas. If you destroy me, he won't be able to look after himself."

Deceit forcefully grabbed black linen shirt, thrusting him against the bedspread. Logan made an exclamation of pain as he fell forward, his glasses digging into his face.

With his hands tightly wrapped around his captive's arms, Janus dragged Logan into the dark side as he rose, tossing him against the floor with a heavy thud. Before Logan could scramble to his feet, Remus thwacked him upside the head with his mace, rendering him still against the floor.

Remus hauled the semi-unconscious Logan into a chair and bonded his limbs, whilst Janus wheeled an old TV screen out from behind the curtains and propped it in front of his prisoner.

Logan did his best to breath as he fluttered open his eyes, instinctively pulling against the restraints holding him in place. Deceit withdrew a glass bottle containing a black liquid from his yellow coat pocket, fingering a syringe with his left hand as he extracted the venom from the jar.

"It's okay Logan, I'm not going to hurt you again," Janus fibbed, kneeling down beside him.

"No please, not again," Logan spoke frightfully, wincing as the snake stabbed the back of his neck with his needle. "Don't do this. Thomas has nothing to do with whatever it is you want with me."

Deceit smirked, leaning in close to his ear until his hot breath was warm against his cheek. "You're right, Thomas has nothing to do with this, and neither do you. This is about Virgil."

Remus pressed the on switch of the television screen, causing distorted imagery to appear before his prisoner. Logan jolted as he felt a cold, oozing liquid dripping into his flesh, emotions of pure hysteria seizing his mind.
"Sorry Logan," Janus hissed softly. He wasn't sure if he was being sincere or the opposite, but as Logan began to feel the full effects of the venom seeping into his blood Janus figured it did not matter. He was going to get Virgil back, and that was all that was important to him.

"Why do you look upset?" Remus questioned, curling his moustache with the dirty end of the toilet brush.

"What are you talking about? I'm not upset that Virgil doesn't love me anymore, so we have to take him over by force." Janus lied through his teeth.

Remus shrugged, tossing away the brush and bumping his hip against Deceit's. "Oki doki. Let's put the gear stick in the butt-hole!"
