*wheeze* did you guys like the update marathon? *dies*

Anyway 3 updates today... these chapters are gonna bounce POV a lot so I don't get side tracked.

"I do have to go..." Schlatt said quietly, as they sat on the floor in silence. Quackity pursed his lips, but nodded.

"What if you run into Dream?"

"As far as he knows you're dead, relax."

"Um I did body slam him like yesterday."

"I- what?" Schlatt squinted, before rubbing his temples, "Quacks what do you mean?"

"I told you I found Karl right? He was leading some sort of meeting in the old business building."

Schlatt nodded, Quackity shifted his shoulders back awkwardly.

"Well Ponk kinda popped that, and Nikki got cornered in the junkyard so I jumped in-"

"Quackity you do realize that was about the stupidest thing you could do!"

The Mexican held a finger up to his face, "Wait it gets better...."

Running with Nikki, finding Philza and Ranboo. Quackity did leave out the part about Technoblade being a seeker, but not Wilbur's complete breakdown. The journey over the rails over night. The dog in the school...

"Well... that's just. God dammit Quacks." Schlatt breathed, flopping against the rug on his back. "How am I supposed to keep you safe if you do everything you can to reverse it?"

"I just thought I'd make it more interesting!" Quackity joked, scooting over to his side and laying flat.

"Do you know if they got anyone?"

"I know somebody got Sam, I'm thinking same person who tried to get me in the school. Karl got shot, but I think he lived. According to Nikki they have a meet up by the rapids in a day or so. George was fine, still haven't seen Skeppy like in years."

"Well Skeppy is probably dead, he was never that physically fit for this life." Schlatt sighed, before standing up quickly and ruffling his friend's hair.

"When will you be back?"

"Two hours, if I'm not get the fuck outta here."

"How will you find me?"

Schlatt smirked, "Even when we were enemies I never had an issue doing that."

————————————————————————

Philza winced as Techno tied of the stitch, "I think we should have told him a while ago."

"What good would that have done? They'd still all look at me like I'm a killer, and they wouldn't be wrong I was one."

"You gotta stop thinking about him."

"Easier said than done." Techno said, setting down the threaded needle and scooting against the wall next to Phil. The tired blonde leaned his head on the other's shoulder.

"I know, but do you even try?"

"It's not something I should forget though Phil! It's why I'm here, and not out there killing people."

Phil huffed, tilting his bucket hat over his eyes, "You and I both know why you are here. It's the same reason out of everyone in the hunt Ranboo grabbed Tommy."

"Which is? Did you just call me an annoying British child?"

He laughed, "I called you brave Technoblade."

Ranboo flung himself onto a bench, curling with slight shivers. Nikki had offered to do lookout, while Tommy attempted to make a small fire the way Philza taught them.

Wilbur hadn't moved an inch, and he remained staring at the wall. It was a disturbing sight for Ranboo. He watched the brunette twist the rim of his beanie around his fingers nervously.

"Got it!" Tommy called, Ranboo tossed him the broth can from a while ago. Running a hand through his dirty blonde hair, rolling onto his other side and trying to sleep.

"Tommy, so I scared you huh?" Ranboo said jokingly, sitting down next too the blonde. He instantly stiffened, before wiping his eyes.

"You do realize I'm not gonna hurt you right?"

Tommy let out a breath, frantic and terrified, "Why didn't you just let me die?"

Ranboo listened to the dragging of Tommy's feet as he pulled his knees under his chin. The younger put his hands on his head, shaking slightly. Ranboo felt the urge to comfort him, but first something tugged at his mind.

"Who did you lose?"

Tommy sniffled, before actually looking at Ranboo for the first time. "My twin, he got chosen as a seeker."

As how the government wanted, this system broke most families before they had the chance to grow. Ranboo had seen it before, and even felt it before.

Never had he let it go, all the people that turned on each other. Ranboo was here to build back what he had lost, and oh had he lost...

Tommy was alone now, his family and connections ripping away violently.

"Nightmares?"

A nod.

"Yeah I get them too, it helps to think of it in a different way."

Tommy scoffed, "How do you do that?"

Ranboo pointed to the other people spread out around them. Sam was sleeping upright, arms tucked inside the sleeves of his green jacket for the cold. At his feet was Technoblade, arms tight around his little brother. Philza was on Wilbur's other side, holding on in the same way with his head tucked between Wil's neck.

"All these people you see here, family. Blood relations only every get watered down into nothing, people you meet? People you know have your back, that's what I call brothers."

Tommy bit his lip hard, "So, what does that mean for me?"

Ranboo didn't answer, just slung his arms around Tommy and pulled him close.

Tommy watched his brother figure's breathing slow and relaxed. After dividing up the broth he walked over to Wilbur and jostled his shoulder.

"Hey big man eat this."

Wilbur gave a small smile, "Thanks, but I'm not hungry."

"Please?"

His face softened, and he took it.
