Worlds Apart

Virgil

TW: Mentions of torture, mentions death, and mentions of beating someone to death.

I arrive back at the base. Scarlett calls me over to her so I walk over to her.

"Welcome back, you have some people looking for you," she tells me.

I feel my anxiety creep in, "For me? Are you sure?"

She nods, "Yeah. They are over there." She points at a table filled with familiar faces.

Next thing I know Patton is hugging me and I'm hugging him back. I can't believe it. They're all here! And Logan. Oh my god Logan.

When we kiss it's like electricity. I missed him so much.

We arrive back at the cabin, I haven't been here in a year. Seems like longer. Patton and Remy basically kidnap me to the bathroom. They have me shower (I haven't showered in a year, it feels amazing) and trim my stubble, then start brushing my hair, which is hard due to all the knots and such. I haven't taken care of myself.

"We are definitely cutting all of this babes," Remy says.

"I don't know... I mean... I look different," I mumble, thinking about the scar on my eye.

"Its fine kiddo," Patton exclaimed, "You'll look brand new!"

They started to cut my hair and it took hours. Finally we finish and I hear Patton gasp, "Kiddo, your eye!"

I look away, "Yeah... I know..."

Remy sets a hand on my shoulder, "Let's go talk with the group."

I nod and the three of us go out and see everyone in the living room. Logan hugs me again and I notice the worry on his face when he saw my eye, well the scar over it.

I kiss him, "It happened a long time ago. Don't worry."

Logan cupped my face gently, "But-"

I kiss him again, "Let's focus on now Logan." I grab his hands, "I missed you so much."

"I missed you too."

Roman brings the attention to himself, "Alright everyone we need to talk about what we are doing now. Are we all here for a reunion or something else?"

Remy answers, "It was originally just a reunion."

Emile adds in, "Yeah. Unless you guys wanna make it something else."

I shake my head, "No. Whatever your all thinking stop."

Roman takes a step towards me, "But we can help you and the rebellion. We can take down Remus and Janus for all."

Patton didn't say anything he just nodded in agreement with Roman. Logan put a hand on my shoulder.

I sigh, "Look, I'm sure they would appreciate it but its more dangerous than ever. Remus is on high alert. The more we attack the closer we are until he does something to make defensive better and stronger. How do you all think I lost my eye? A unicorn accidentally bumped into me?" I asked sarcastically.

Logan sighs, "Virgil, you know that backup would help greatly. You need to stop being stubborn and let us help you."

I sigh and sit down on one of the couches, "Look, I know you all mean good but things are so much worse. Remus and Janus are god awful. They- They-" I look down, grimacing, "Its bad."

Roman asks, "What do you mean? They couldn't possibly get any worse. Right?"

Patton looks down as Remy answers, "Wrong. Patton, Emile, and I avoided him but word still got around. Remus is cruel and Janus is too. They have done so much fucked up shit."

Emile grabs Remy's hand, "The first time we heard anything really bad was when Janus and Remus went to a farmers house for some reason. They didn't have enough to please Remus and Janus so they... They tortured the husband and wife to death after they beat there child to death in front of them."

Logan sits down next to me as Roman takes in all the information, sitting on the other couch, "That's...Bad."

Logan nods, "Yes. But I still want to help you Virgil and the rebellion. I think this is the time to fight back more than ever. I know we failed before but we have more people fighting and some of us are bound to be a little more skilled after a year."

I nod, "That's true but I don't want any of you getting hurt or dying."

Roman jumped up, "Wait! I just thought of something so everyone shut up and listen." We all look at him. "Virgil, do Remus and Janus know your alive after he killed you?"

I shake my head, "I always wear a hood and hide my face when I attack the castle."

"Then we already have an advantage! No one knows Virgil is alive and we are all together again. And Remy your wing, did it help?"

Remy nods, stretching out his metal wing along with his other one, "Yeah. I've been able to fly again and while it's weird at times it's better than nothing."

Roman smiles, "That's good enough for me! Now let's make a plan."

I sigh and look at Logan, "We never had a choice, did we?"

Logan shakes his head, "No."

So we then start making a plan, just like the old times.
