Summary
The phone began to dial Wilbur’s number, automatically connected to his comm for easy communication.
It rang once. Tommy rubbed his eyes, ignoring the traces of sleep beginning to seep into his tired mind.
Two rings.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Tommy frowned, instantly more awake as his call was sent to voicemail, the robotic female voice reading out his brother’s number in a programmed spiel, his profile picture still watching him, almost mockingly.
It was impossible for Wilbur to have lost his phone if it was attached to his earpiece at all times. Even if he was in the middle of a fight he should’ve been able to pick up with nothing but a small tap, unless…

Summary
Wilbur– no, this was Siren – came into focus.
It was all too familiar; the wave of curls covering his eye, the slight upward tilt to the corner of his mouth, and the loving glint in his eye. The same look that he had given him so often before, accompanied by a hug that pulled him close to the man’s chest, filling him with indescribable joy and comfort.
Wilbur, his brother, his enemy, his best friend.
The man who now cupped his cheek with adoration, his villain mask nowhere to be seen. The man that, if it wasn’t for the sharp blades mounted to the wall behind him, cutthroat tips reflecting in the stark light above them, Tommy would’ve truly believed to still be the man he once knew.

Summary
“Theseus,” the man said again, tilting his head ever so slightly to the side. Tommy could just barely make out the tips of his long pink hair, the corner of his chin, and the imperial insignia of the Antarctic Empire on his shirt pocket. It was familiar, something that the back of his mind recognized from months in the nest, wrapped up in gentle arms and drowned in comfort until his eyes fell shut. Distantly seeing the swirls of pink strands and collared shirts embroidered all with the same mark of royalty.
“You ran,” Techno stated. A fact, no further infliction lying behind it.

Summary
Tommy shifted, tears dripping from his face to land on Techno’s neck, blood smearing with each drop of water. It was so warm here in his brother’s hold, just enough to set off the instincts tucked away with the wings in his back. He couldn’t help but let out a small chirp, thanking his protector for the safety he was gifting him, mind unable to focus on anything else.
It was like a dam had been released, and Tommy’s instincts suddenly took control of his body. Because that was it, wasn’t it? This was his protector. His brother. The one to keep him safe, and always had and always would. He chirped again, just to voice his satisfaction at his protector being there, comforting him through the injuries covering his skin.
Techno flinched at that, much to Tommy’s confusion. Was he unhappy? Had Tommy done something wrong?

Summary
“The-seus,” the villain sang tauntingly, taking slow, calculated steps toward him. Broken rock crunched beneath his steel-toed boots. “C’mon, I know you must be exhausted by now, little hero. Why don’t you just put down those kitchen knives of yours and we can have a civilized talk?”
His voice was light, almost like he was attempting to calm him down while so obviously lying. Like he hadn’t been seething in rage only seconds before. It almost made Tommy feel sick to have that faux comfort directed towards him; he’d seen the camera footage; he’d seen the autopsies; he’d seen exactly what happened to every poor victim that Siren had directed that croon to.
Siren must have sensed his unease, tilting his head to the side, like he was some sort of interesting bug. “Aww, come on now, there’s nothing to be worried about,” he grinned, the white of his teeth glinting in sword light. “We just want to chat! What are the heroes up to nowadays when they aren’t trying to ruin all of our fucking plans?”

Summary
He was nothing but a fledgling; just a year past being a nestling, but still far too small and sensitive to the world to dare venturing outside by more than a few feet. Just a month ago, he hadn’t minded the idea. He had been content to stay warm and swathed in blankets, half-conscious in the nest as Wilbur ran a hand through his hair and his sire coaxed him to drink from his wrist. Gaze foggy and dazed as he was held close to a still chest– heart long ago fallen silent– and cooed at like he was a helpless child.
But now he was awake.
The human side of him was awake– the sliver of logical mind that was yet to be consumed by the bloodlust and urge to kill and conform to his coven’s wishes– and it was angry.
Waking up with his head tucked against his sire’s neck had felt like a death sentence. This was a predator he was trusting, someone with the ability to rip his throat out with nothing but a slash of their claws. He was paralyzed in their hold; part of him wanting nothing more than to stay, while the other screamed in terror.

Summary
Wilbur barely held back his own wave of sobs as he hugged the younger even closer. His chin rested on Tommy’s head, his brother’s face pressed against his neck as Wilbur gently rocked them back and forth, trying to soothe them both without breaking.
“I just don’t know how I’m supposed to feel,” the kid whispered.
Wilbur took a deep breath. “That’s okay, Toms. All you need to know is that you’re safe and I’ll never let them take you again, okay? I’m never letting anything like that happen to you again. I’ll fucking kill the entire Agency before I let them look at you.”
Tommy silently nodded against his shoulder, sniffing loudly and barely suppressing another sob.
“Good. You’re never going to get hurt again. I’ll kill everything and everyone in this fucking city before the Agency tries to take you away.”
“Do you promise?” Tommy weakly asked, fingers curling into the back of his jacket.
Wilbur pressed a kiss to the top of his head, giving him another reassuring squeeze. He didn’t bother to wipe away the tear falling down his cheek.
“I swear it on my life.”

Summary
No, that would be the person chained to the chair in the middle of the room, a power suppressor glowing on his wrist. He was faced away from the door, but Tommy could still make out the familiar curly brown hair that was matted to his head, traces of fresh cuts lining his arms, some still bloody, and villain suit that he’d helped the elder make.
Wilbur.
A prisoner; a traitor.
Techno hand gently grabbed his own as they stepped inside the dim room, not allowing either of them to linger any longer at the morbid sight. Phil inclined his head to the both of them as he stood outside to guard. There was no hope of Wilbur escaping, no reason for him to linger, but the two sons knew it was an excuse to look at his child one last time.

Summary
“So, Prince Thomas, why did you go along with King Schlatt’s plan to kill me? I doubt you truly care about to getting your own seat on the throne, based off of what Wilbur’s told me, so what exactly has he told you to make you go along with this mess?” He tapped his nails on the table, the sound grating at Tommy’s nerves. “What does he have over your head? Family? Money? Power?”
Tommy inhaled deeply. He was painfully aware as the Blood King took a step closer, his prescence a silent axe looming over the back of his neck. A piece of him couldn’t comprehend that this was the same brother Wilbur had spoken so highly of–the castle book-lover, known to hole himself up in his bedroom for days, the Siren Prince asleep on his shoulder while he read through his studies. The description of the sarcastic pink-haired man shared nothing in common with the stoic soldier that now stood next to him, his hand clenching and unclenching from around the sword handle, as though he were itching to unsheathe it and swing.
He couldn’t imagine that same person killing him for lying.

Summary
And then he was off again. Legs shaking, nearly crumpling with the sudden weight, but still running.
The voice behind him practically giggled. “Oh, dearest. Do watch your step, you could get hurt.”
Joy was laced in every clinkle of bells, harmonizing his voice to create an image of dangerous perfection. The sound struck a pang within his hand, just as loud of a stick hitting a drum, filling him with the urge to join that laughter, to be the source of it, to stop and listen to that beautiful music.
He wheezed as his lungs cried for air. They wanted to laugh to. They wanted to laugh with a nice man behind him, for why was he running, why hadn’t he stopped and rested and laughed and been happy with him?
No. That wasn’t right, that wasn’t him thinking-
