***a few years ago*** (Roman is 16 Remus is 15)

Roman stared at his mother in horror as she threw the very very hot pan at his brother, hitting his back and causing him to scream in pain collapsing to the floor.

"YOU MONSTER! YOU ARE NO SON OF MINE!" she walked over and started hitting Remus who was trying to back away.

"Mom!?" Roman ran over pulling her off of him. "Stop! What is wrong with you!?"

"He's a villain Roman! Your brother's powers are evil!" Roman panicked.

"Mom no! Don't call them please! They'll just take him away!"

"He is a villain Roman!"

"He's your son he didn't do anything!" Roman looked at Remus who was backing up holding his arms to his chest. "Just because he got these powers doesn't make him a bad guy!"

"Roman, to your room now." He looked at Remus.

"Will you be okay?" Remus nodded as tears fell down his cheeks.

"I love you Ro." Remus whimpered out as Roman left the room. Roman stayed by the kitchen door as he heard his mother continue the beating. Tears fell down his cheeks.

"I love you too Re."

****a few years later**** (Roman is 17 Remus is 16)

Roman looked to his bedroom door pulling his knees to his chest. His mother walked in and he immediately looked down at his hands.

"I'm not going to just sit back and let you do this again." Roman glared at her. "I'd rather fucking die than have you ever touch me again."

"Oh Roman." She laughed as another person stepped into view. "You thought I'd be alone this time?" Roman stared at his father and then looked back at his mother.

"I will never stop fighting you." She laughed.

"How cute." As the two got closer Roman felt all his energy disappearing. Fuck.

***a year later***

Roman stared at the news in shock. His brother escaped. He smiled a little. Good. He stood and left the house walking around going to his usual cafe.

"Your usual Roman?" Roman nodded.

"Thanks." He took his drink and went and sat down at the table. Someone sat down across from him a few minutes later. He looked up and smiled a little looking back down at his computer. "You know Re, you shouldn't be here."

"I wanted to see how you are." Remus mumbled. "It's been...hard." Roman nodded.

"I've been okay."

"I miss you." Remus mumbled. Roman looked up from his computer and looked at his brother. Remus shook his head. "Sorry, forget it." Roman grabbed his brother's hand.

"I miss you too."

****a few years later**** (Roman is 19 Remus is 18)

Roman put the coffee down staring at the article. Of course they arrested his brother yet again. He fixed his shirt hiding the bad bruise from last night closing his laptop and putting it away.

"Hey uh..." a kid walked over to him. "Are you Roman?"

"Who's asking?" Roman asked. "Also kid where the hell are your parents? Aren't you supposed to be in school right now?"

"I-I'm sorry." The kid placed a ring down on the table. He stared at it shocked. He twirled the matching one around his own finger.

"Where did you find that..."

"Remus gave it to me. He told me that if something were to happen to him and my other guardian to find you and give you that." Tears were flowing down the kids cheeks. "They took him away! Both of them! I don't even know if they'll be able to escape this time and I just..." the kid shook his head. "I wanted you to have it in case he does get erased."

"How old are you kid?" Roman asked. The kid looked around the cafe.

"I'm sixteen." The kid stood. "I have to go." He looked down at the ring and then back at Roman. Suddenly cops surrounded the place and the patrons were being evacuated. The kid froze.

"Anxiety, you have nowhere to go! Just turn yourself in." The kid looked at Roman.

"Anxiety?" Roman looked over at the cops outside the cafe and then back at the kid. "But...you're just a kid?"

"Touch me," The kid grabbed Roman's arm. "Sorry for this..." he whispered. "And he won't be escaping his damn nightmares anytime soon." Roman's eyes widened.

"Oh god..." he screamed. Flashes of his parents raping him and his brother being taken away played over and over again. He screamed as tears flowed down his face. He blinked his eyes open and looked at the kid who was escaping into the shadows. Roman felt the pain subside a few minutes later. Medics rushed over to check him out. "Who was that..." Roman held his brother's ring in his hand. He wasn't a bad guy. The kid was just misunderstood.
