Logan had announce his plan on how to save Janus and they were all preparing to leave. Patton was ready to prove that he could be useful to the team and save Janus. He'd been focusing on the feelings that allowed him to transform before. He thought he was getting the hang of it.

They all were standing in the living room  when there was a knock on the door. Remus picked up the glass of bleach he'd been drinking, and went to opened the door. Janus an Virgil stood there shivering in the rain. Tim was floating behind them, but only Virgil could see him. Remus dropped his bleach, "Wha-"

"Yeah yeah we're here, now let us in before Janus goes into hibernation," Virgil said pushing past Remus. Janus looked very sick. He hadn't eaten in 24 hours and the cold rain wasn't helping.

Patton stood up, "Janus?!" Patton rushed over and scooped up Janus into a bear hug.

Virgil rolled his eyes, "Love you to Pops." Patton responded by grabbing Virgil's hoodie sleeve and pulling him into a group hug. Remus went over and grabbed Logan and piled them both into the hug. Soon they were all hugging infront of the door. Tim watched smiling, his family was happy.

But something was missing.

Specifically someone.

Virgil pulled back from the hug and said, "Alright, I brought you back Janus now you're gonna help me save my fiance."

(They try and come up with a plan to save Roman [insert comedic thing where Andy walks down the stairs and says, "nope not today"] Logan breaks down admitting he doesn't have a plan)

They all gathered around a huge bowl of popcorn Logan had made. Each of them coming up with ideas. Janus wasn't however. He may not have gone into hibernation, but he did catch a cold. He say watching everyone plan sipping tea and covered in blankets.

The way things were going was someone would give an idea, then Virgil and Logan would think of all the possibilities of what would happen. Nothing had stuck. They had a sheet of paper labeled "Ideas" that was blank.

Andy walked down the stairs planning on getting some seltzer for him and DW. The stairs creaked and everyone turned to look at him. When that happened Andy threw his hands up in surrender say, "You know what I'm not dealing with this today." Then he turned around on the stairs and headed back to his and DW's room.

Patton eventually had to leave to make dinner. He'd decided on chicken noodle soup to help Janus' sickness. Logan soon said, "This isn't getting us anywhere, I believe we should take a break to eat dinner, then come back." Everyone agreed.

(Andy and Virgil talk Andy then leaves to go on a platonic date with DW)

Andy eventually came back down with DW. She then had to run back upstairs 'cause she forgot her phone. Andy made his way to talk to Virgil. Virgil was standing off in the corner eating his soup. Andy walked over and asked him, "So you're the original."

Virgil responded, "And you're the creepy clone Remus made of me when I left."

"Well I wouldn't call myself creepy."

"Well then what do you want me to call you?"

"I prefer Andy, but I'd you come up with any good nicknames use 'em."

"You seem cool we will definitely be friends."

"Maybe-"

"What does that maybe mean? Do you not like me?"

"No you seem cool, but with all that's going on you never know what could happen."

"Wow I suddenly hate you."

"Hates a strong word," DW came down the stairs, "Got to go, talk to you later Original!" With that Andy ran after her and they both left the house.
