Mass Emotions

Summary:

In this story Patton, Roman, and Logan are all certain types of combatants that fight off unstable emotions/traits in order to keep Thomas from developing bad behavior and injuring himself. Virgil a newbie in training and isn't fully seen as a team player mainly by Roman and Logan. Patton is the only one on his side whenever he is feeling pressured.

Virgil’s secret of his ability to grow when his emotional core goes out of control has been revealed which is only a characteristic of the Dark Sides. Thus, Virgil finds himself in a dangerous situation that only his friends can help him out of, but first he needs to trust them.

Yet, why do the Dark Sides exist and why is Virgil so different from them? What truth is hiding just out of reach?

Chapter 1: A Tearful Encounter

Chapter Text

“What are you doing here?” 

Virgil was clearly flustered and panicked as his voice cracks.

“Hey kiddo, I’m here to help you calm down” 

Patton started to inch closer with his hands clasped together and close to his chest.

Clicking his tongue, “Like you care…not after seeing me like this...like them.”

Virgil shot Patton a sharp glare hoping to scare him off. Patton’s steps hesitate a moment, but he then took a huge inhale and while holding his breath he puffed up his reddened face and glared back at Virgil. Virgil had no idea how to react to that, but eventually began to let out a spree of little giggles. Patton finally exhaled loudly and turned his head up to Virgil with a big smile plastered on his face.

“There’s the Virgil I know and love.”

Virgil began to quiet down and as he locked his eyes back on to Patton radiating with his smile on, quickly he startled to sob. Patton shocked at the sudden water-works, ran to Virgil’s pant leg and tugged on it.

“Hey, let me up, let me up!”

Virgil paused, but leaned down slowly and picked Patton up with both his hands cupped around him.


“I’m sorry Patton, but once I looked at you down there…all small, it really made me realize how much of a monster I really am.”

“You’re not a-”

“I am! You saw him Patton, you saw how Roman looked at me. How he drew his weapon on me, fear and anger in his eyes. I’ll always be a monster. I can never go back there either because I’m too dangerous…”

Virgil began to visibly shake, “I don’t want to be like this, I don’t want to be like them either. I thought being with you all would help me change, help me find control. Now it’s all a mess, I’m so stup-”

“NO! No,no,no,no,no!!! You are not stupid Virgil. You wanted to change and you’ve been working really hard towards that goal. Sure I didn’t know who you used to be, but that doesn’t matter because the Virgil I see right now is amazing!”

Virgil was stunned.

“Yo-you really think I’m amazing?”

Patton violently nodded his head in agreement

“You must be the craziest guy I’ve ever met and the kindest.”

To be continued.
