"I want him dead. He should have died. You should have killed him!" Remus paced around the living room as everyone else just watched with varying expressions. After Logan arrived to assist in detainment, the police had taken Klaus into custody. Roman called up Remus right off the bat knowing he didn't exactly have a choice with that. Remus needed to know they're father was back and that he was arrested. After that Logan called up Patton and Roman literally broke down over the phone as Virgil tried to calm him. The younger wasted no time teleporting to the house as soon as he could shocking both men as he ran into the house moments later. Now the two were cuddled close together on the couch, Roman practically burring himself into the younger. "You should have cut off his dick and choked him with it BEFORE those stupid heroes got in the way!"

"We can't just murder our father, Remus."

"After what he did death is mercy!" Remus cried out as he threw his arms through the air. Virgil cuddled Roman closer noticing how badly his love was shaking. "He abandoned all of us and left us with NOTHING!"

"He did more than that." Roman whined making Remus falter seeing just how completely broken his brother was. "Even still... we can't kill him, Remus. I can't kill him." Roman twitched as he shook his head. "...even if I want to."

"Roman, you of ALL people could have sent that asshole to hell-..."

"WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO REMUS?!" Roman yelled as he jumped up and glared over at his brother. "What do you honestly expect from me? I'm so sorry I didn't MURDER him! I was sort of busy trying not to have a breakdown. You don't understand. You didn't know!" Roman flared as he forced himself to curl up, hand gripping at his hair as he tried to calm himself down. "You didn't know. Remus, he... He's a villain. He's a villain. A dangerous one... What was I supposed to do?"

"You did the right thing, Roman." Virgil whispered softly shifting over just enough to run his fingers through his boyfriend's hair. "You did good. Getting the heroes was the right thing..."

"And who the FUCK do you think you are?!" Remus growled making Virgil pale in shock. "You have no right to say anything. You aren't a part of this."

"Considering he's my partner..." Roman shot back just as angrily. "I'd say he as EVERY part in this." 

"I'm just saying the heroes know how to handle this shit." Virgil's eyes softened seeing how Roman leaned into him clearly far to overwhelmed. "It's better to let them take over than to risk getting hurt or worse other civilians getting involved. From what I WAS told... Your father doesn't sound all that... stable."

"He's not crazy." Roman laughed as tears slowly started to spill from his already highly puffy and red eyes. He'd been crying on and off since everything happened. "He's controlling. He doesn't care about anything or anyone. As long as he gets the outcome he wants he'd throw you straight into the line of fire and laugh." Roman shuddered as his breathing started to lapse. He could hear his father's taunts. He could hear his voice in his mind yelling at him, telling him to be better... telling him he needed to be perfect... telling him he was worthless if he couldn't do even one task he wanted. 

"Hun, he's not here."

"He was though." Roman whined as Virgil held him tighter. "He was. He right there... walked right into the house. He was there while we... while we were talking." Virgil's eyes shot wide as his grip tightened to the point where his knuckles were white. "That's why I never said your name. I-I didn't want him to hurt you."

"Hun..."

"As strong as you are, he'd find away." Roman didn't let Virgil get a chance to fight him. "I know my father better than anyone. I know what he's capable of. He locked me... He..." Remus's eyes flashed as Roman shivered again braking down all the more. "W-When I was younger, he got tired of me always doing recitals. He said they were taking up all my practice time. He said I was too focused on the songs for them I was neglecting my training. So he locked me in my room and forced me to practice until he was satisfied with my progress."

"Roman?" Remus's voice shook as Roman glanced around to see the pain in everyone's eyes. Patton looked completely horrified. Logan looked numb but you could see the rage in his eyes. Remus was braking but Virgil... Virgil just smiled softly, reassuring Roman that everything that going to be ok. 

"He locked me in my room with my violin, said if I could spend so long practicing for something as stupid as a recital then I should have no problem spending hours on end training. I was upset... my emotions control my powers. I was scared and angry. Terrified... But I did as he said knowing I didn't have a choice." Roman's eyes dazed as he shook his head and curled back up into his love. "I ended up hurting myself with my powers. I had to be rushed to the hospital because of it all. I lost my... I can't even..." 

"It was his fault?" Remus whispered only getting a slight nod in response. "I AM GOING TO KILL THAT FUCKER!"

"You can't." Logan finally cut in making the room go silent. "As much as I too am very... angry at him, you cannot kill him. For one that would result in your immediate arrest and two... He's currently in police custody. He will be moved to a more secure facility by the end of the weak. Someplace equipped to handed those with powerful abilities. He'll be there for the rest of his life."

"Logan, it was HIS fault that Roman went d-..."

"Don't!" Remus paled as Roman glared him down from the couch. "Not everyone knows... and I don't want to talk about it." Roman glanced over seeing the immense concern in Virgil and he sighed. "Not yet. Please, I just... I'm not ready."

"Hun... Why don't we go home?" Virgil whispered ever so slightly making Roman tense up before nodding and desperately clinging to him.

"Please? I just... I can't... I can't." Virgil smiled softly as he pressed a soft kiss to Roman's forehead before gently helping him up to his feet. 

"I'll take care of everything, Ro." Logan gave the other hero a small nod as Patton hummed lightly in agreement, finally understanding why Logan had to rush off in such a panicked state as he was earlier. "You just rest. We can handle the job ourselves for a while too if you need to step back."

"Thank you, Logan. Ray?" Remus frowned as Roman took a deep breath and hugged himself. "Now is the WRONG time to say this but... I'm going to be moving in with Virgil." The way Remus's eyes bugged you could tell he was taken by surprise. "I was going to wait but... With Father and everything... I just don't feel safe right now. I hope you understand."

"Uh... y-yeah." Remus forced himself to nod seeing the pure relief in his brother as Virgil wrapped his arms around him. "I think that would be best. I'm probably going to stay with Janus then. At least until things blow over..."

"Come one, Love." Virgil lulled sweetly as he nuzzled into Roman hearing that soft hesitant giggle in response. "Let's go home."
