Tw: mention of murder/death/rape/sex, arguing, yelling, Patton

Janus, Damien and Irra were having breakfast downstairs. Janus and Damien drinking coffee.

Paranoia came downstairs with Logan on his back and Remus in his arms. Damien started laughing. Janus snickered. Irra was 10 today and didn't get it.

Logan glared at them. "Not a word." That caused Damien and Janus to laugh more.

Remus smirked as Paranoia sat him down. Remus pulled himself onto Logan's lap. "Oh come on you know you loved it."

Logan turned red. Paranoia kissed their heads and hugged Janus. "Morning mom." "Morning Para."

"Remus can still walk right?" Damien asked as they calmed down. Paranoia nodded and hugged them. Damien kissed his forehead. "Good. Hey where is Ro?"

Paranoia hugged Irra and tickled him. Irra squealed and started giggling.

Everyone shrugged at Damien's question and Paranoia tried to summon Roman.

Roman answered the summon and rose up. "Sorry I fell asleep- why do Remus and Logan look like a wreck?"

"Cause I wrecked them." Paranoia smirked.
Logan groaned and Remus kissed his neck. "No need to be embarrassed Loganberry!"

"Are we telling the others our idea after breakfast?" Roman asked as he sat down. Remus nodded. "That's the plan." He said hugging Roman from the side. Roman ruffled Remus' hair.

——After Breakfast——

Logan, Paranoia, Irra and Janus were sitting on the couch. "So what's this about?" Janus asked.

Roman sighed. "We have come to a decision on what to do about Him."

Remus nodded. "We have come to the conclusion to execute him."

"WHAT?" Janus and Paranoia asked. Remus flinched and winced.

Damien nodded. "It's safer for everyone. We let him go and he'll do this again. We have an idea of what will happen. He will be replaced a day later with a new side. If not Logan will repeat the process he's been using to take over His job but permanently." They explained.

"We wanted your thoughts on this before we pin a date to do this." Roman told the others.

"Since I'm helping with this I'm fine with this."
Logan said. Paranoia nodded. "I agree with this plan."

Virgil replaced Paranoia. "No. There has to be something else!" Janus sighed. "As long as you guys have a solid plan to bring the new side up to speed if we get a new one, then fine." Janus said.

"Mommy what's execution?" Irra asked a bit confused. He didn't know a lot to be fair. "To kill someone. It's a punishment for super bad people like Him."

Irra nodded. "Bye bye daddy!" He smiled, agreeing with the plan.

"Virgil you are out numbered. We are doing this. You may like the new side." Damien said. Virgil shook his head. "No. We can fix Him. I swear we can!" Virgil said as he gripped his head.

Logan stroked Virgil's hair. Virgil leaned into the touch and muttered stuff, probably addressing Paranoia.

"If we do this. Para takes control and I will come out when I'm ready. This includes in front of Thomas and in videos. You can't complain about him and ask when I'm coming back." Virgil told them. Everyone agreed to these conditions.

Virgil nodded and Para took over. "He said- He said we can do this then." Paranoia told them.

"Perfect. We are going to work and let you know when it will happen." Damien said.

"Hold on. How can Patton die of sides can't die?" Janus asked.

The trio froze. "What are you keeping from us?" Paranoia asked.

"Sides can die." Roman said slowly. "We are figments of Thomas' imagination so we can only die in the Imagination."

The sides on the couch stared at the trio. "And you didn't tell us?" Janus asked sitting up straighter and resting his hands in his lap. Everyone knew that Janus was completely pissed and holding back rage. It wasn't often when Janus was like this.

"We didn't tell you because you were stressed and scared enough! If you knew that we could die in the Imagination we were scared you would lose it and do something irrational and hurt someone. Or something like that." Remus said quietly.

"You thought it was a good idea to keep that information from us. YOU LET US BELIEVE THAT IRRA WAS SAFE WHEN HE WAS GONE AND LET US THINK THAT HE WOULDN'T DIE! EVEN THOUGH HE COULD!" Paranoia yelled.

Remus was shaking. "W-we a-are sor-sorry! We did-didn't know what- what to do!" He cried, tripping over his own words.

Roman hugged Remus. "Guys please understand." "I could've died." Irra mumbled before laughing. "I COULD'VE DIED!"

He giggled, more hinged than usual. "I COULD'VE DIED! YOU WERE MORE SCARED OF HOW EVERYONE WOULD REACT! I THINK THE IDEA OF ME BEING DEAD BY THE TIME YOU FOUND ME, IF YOU EVER COULD BECAUSE YOU HONESTLY GOT LUCKY, OVER SHADOWS YOUR FEAR!" Irra yelled in between giggles.

I did mention that Irra was mild insanity as well. Meet that part of him.

Irra was shaking, nobody could tell if it was from anger or adrenaline. He looked at the trio, his eyes pitch black with orange swirls as pupils.

The Imagination kids stepped back a few paces. If Irra decided to lash out they all knew it would be bad news for them.

"I fucking hate you three for hiding this information! I could've died! Did anybody think about the chain reaction you might have set up? The fucking butterfly effect you were so close to setting off. What on earth told you it was a good idea to keep this from us?" Irra ranted.

They didn't have an answer. No reason they could think of wouldn't set Irra, Paranoia or Janus off.

Irra chuckled. "I thought not." Janus carefully pulled Irra close and loosely held him, incase he wanted out.

Paranoia turned to Logan. "Did you know about this?" He asked. "No. That information wasn't disclosed to me." Logan said honestly.

Paranoia nodded and clung to Logan. "Fix this mess." He hissed to the twins and dragon.

The trio nodded and sunk out.

Damien separated from the twins. They said that they needed to take care of something.

The twins went to the planning room to start brainstorming.

—With Damien—

Damien looked at Patton. Patton was sitting in his cell. He ran up to the bars. "Damien! Please let me go!" He begged as he reached out for them.

Damien stepped back. "Keep your slimy hands away from me. I kept your dirty fucking secret." They hissed. "Everyone voted to kill you."

Patton grabbed their arm and pulled them to the bars. "Thank you for the information Damien. Thank you for keeping my secret too."

Damien removed their arm out of Patton's grasp. "Don't touch me."

"Come on dear." Patton smirked. Damien shook their head. "At least do me the favour and take our secret to the grave." Patton said.

"I'll take it to yours you rapist." Damien muttered. "I'll do it again." Patton said.

With that comment, Damien left. Irra's incident wasn't the only reason that Damien wanted Patton gone.
