So this is a short chapter but I just really wanted to get it out.
•<================================>•
Remus had been put on charge of updating Thomas. He was probably the least qualified for this, but everyone else was busy. Well busy wasn't the right word for it. Logan was actually busy, Patton and Janus were spending their time cuddling, Virgil was being very quiet in his room where he occasionally talked to himself, and Remus didn't know what everyone else was doing.

Remus expected to rise up in Thomas' bed room or living room, but instead he rose up in a fancy restaurant. He saw Thomas sitting with a complete piece of eye candy. Remus was drooling at the sight of him but shook it off remembering his job. Remus whisper yelled, "Hey Thomas!"

Thomas didn't hear him over the restaurant crowd, damn. Remus began to think of a way to get Thomas' attention, he snapped his finger when he got it. Remus channeled all his built up intrusive thoughts energy into this to make sure Thomas notice, "You could just pick up the butter knife and stab him so easily."

Thomas jumped and looked around the restaurant and noticed Remus waving at him by the men's bathroom door. Thomas said something along the lines of, "Excuse me-" and made his way to the bathroom.

Remus was already sitting on the sink counter, "Sup Tomathy, who was that sexy dude~"

"My boyfriend Nico, nOw care to explain why you're here??" Thomas said, stressed out.

"Oop- when did you get one of those?"

"We aren't technically boyfriends this is our first date- I'M GETTING SIDE TRACKED! Why are you here Remus?"

"Oh yeah- I'm here to give you an update on what's happening in your mind," Remus pointed at Thomas' head when saying that.

"Okay go fast."

"So Virgil came back with Janus, but Roman is still under Damion's influence and we're working on a way to save him."

"Okay now I'm going back to my date-"

"Love you Tomathy."

"I hate you-" Thomas left the bathroom with that. Remus smiled before sinking out.
•<================================>•
Damion sat down on his bed. Everything was going absolutely perfect with his plan. Roman had sent out a notice to everyone in his side of the imagination saying that the wedding was postponed, and anyone to catch Janus and save Virgil for a cash prize. Yet something felt wrong. He couldn't shake a feeling of- guilt. He hated it. Damion stood up and looked around a room. Taking a nap would be nice.

Damion stood up and walked to his dresser. He pulled open the first drawer revealing two lone outfits. One was pajamas and the other was a pair of boxes and a wife beater. You didn't really need to keep clothes when you could summon them on to your body at will. He liked to keep a pair of pajamas though.

He unbuttoned his vest, and pulled off his under shirt. They dissolved into the air leaving behind some orange sparkles. Damion was the kind of guy that you couldn't tell had muscles. He looked more like a beanstalk than anything. Damion pulled off his pants and pulled on some pajama pants. He didn't bother putting on a shirt as he went to take a nap.

Damion had materialized second. Patton was first and greeted Damion. Though back then they were only known as Morality and Apathy. As time went on more and more sides appeared and Damion remained without opinion, always apathetic. But he wasn't really opinionless, he had so many rattling around in his brain. But he wasn't allowed to say any of them.

Damion watched as Patton used his "kindness" to become the leader. Damion thought that was unfair. He was better than Patton in every way. So why wasn't he the leader? Damion had made the decision to gain control under any circumstances. He began by slowly driving the sides apart and making them trust him.

He "befriended" the other sides, all except for one. Curiosity was a strange side that no one was really friends with. Damion thought they'd make a good power house. He needed to get to them first though and when Romulus came and told them all about the person he'd created Damion knew that he could use him to Curiosity.

His plan was derailed with the separation of dark and light sides, sure it was his fault but that wasn't how he wanted the plan to go. Damion quickly got Remy on board to help him and began work on Curiosity, who'd decided to go with the darksides in protest of separation. Damion began shaping them into the perfect warrior for his takeover.

Damion went to get Curiosity for more training only to discover him face down in a pool of his own blood. Janus walked in at that exact time and screamed. Janus had then locked Damion away with all of Thomas's repressed memories. He'd gotten out a few times since then but had never gotten to cause as much chaos as this time.

Damion smiled. In all truth he didn't see himself as Apathy any more. Plus Chaos sounded a lot better.
