Frank Iero is dangerous. Notorious. Murderous. Gerard Way is a captive. Quiet. Shy. Terrified. A gang war that has ripped apart the lives within it, has torn Gerard from anything he's ever known. He tries to escape, but when you're running from Frank Iero, there is no real escape. But time alone with Frank shows something that scares Gerard even more than the fact he's a hostage. Can Gerard save himself without destroying everything he's ever wanted? *rated PG-13 for occasional strong language and occasional violence*

They were murdered, they were attacked and now they're dead. That's all Frank knows about his parents - gone before he'd even had chance to miss them, and it was fucking with his head. The police reckoned that moving away, to rural New Jersey with his grandparents would help him cope with the loss, but even Frank knew that they couldn't be more than wrong, because despite the dull sleepy atmosphere of the town, there was something unidentifiable yet impossibly unnerving about the place, and really, perhaps was safer in his parents home than he ever was here. And there's something physically wrong too - a figure that lurks in the smoke, fog, and shadows - a silhouette the deepest black he'd ever seen, the kind that brought an unsettling feeling to Frank's stomach, and really Frank's wasn't one to be overly twitchy about things like this, but from the moment he first met him, he could never shake the feeling that the figure was always following him. And perhaps, he was. (Vampire!Gerard)
