I'm fine if I can fool myself tonight

"He is." Artemis said quietly, nodding.

Joseph sighed quietly before turning back to look at the man, a dangerous look in his eyes.

As ifsensing someone watching, Cody turned to look over at the doorway, giving a small smile when he saw Ted.

Alex smiled and touched Soren's cheek softly.

The man went pale at the look.
Leo went over slowly and softly tugged on the back of Joseph's shirt, "Please..." He whispered. "He's not worth it...."

"How are they?" Ted asked."

Artemis stayed quiet as he watched, worried Soren would wake up.

"He'd deserve it though," Joseph said coldly, still glaring at the man instead of looking at Leo. "He hurt you."

"Fine...I think, tired mostly." Cody said quietly, slowly getting up to go over to Ted.

Soren continued to sleep quietly, Alex smiled and looked at his husband.

Leo bit his lip, "But I don't want you to get in trouble....." He said.

Ted nodded, smiling at Cody, "Well at least its not bad.

"Where's Jasper...?" Artemis asked quietly.

"Are you forgetting I am an assassin too? I do this like this often..." Joseph said. "Just not usually for personal reasons..."

Cody nodded slowly. "Yeah..."

Alex whispered back, "On a job."

"Leo stop this crazy...."
Leo turnned away from his ex.

Ted smiled at him.

Artemis nodded, gently taking Alex's hand.

Once Leo turned away, Joseph smirked, quickly driving his knife into the man's stomach, the cold look still in his eyes.

Cody smiled back at Ted, watching him curiously.

Alex smiled softly and squeezed his hand softly.

"L-Leo..." The ex hissed as he slowly started to fade.
Leo ignored the man that had hurt him.

"I'm going to go to the kitchen." He said with a soft smile, he felt like the old him when Cody smiled at him, "Want anything?"

"Should we leave him?" Artemis asked quietly.

Joseph slowly pulled his knife out of the man and stepped back, glaring at him.

"A drink would probably be nice..." Cody said, nodding.

Alex thought before nodding, "We don't wanna wake him."

Leo shivered desipt the warm hoodie he was wearing.

Ted smiled and nodded, "Just be a few minutes.:

"Come on then..." Artemis said quietly, leading him quietly from the room.

Joseph sighed quietly, cleaning off his knife, putting it away before turning to face Leo. "Are you alright...?"

Cody glanced at the two sleeping on the couch before looking back up at Ted. "I'll come...if you don't mind." He said quietly.

Alex squeezed his hush=bands hand as he followed him.

Leo nodded quietly, not looking at the body of the man that had hurt him. "Yeah..."

Ted smiled, "I don't mind."

"So where to now then?" Artemis asked when they were out of the room.

Joseph nodded and gave a small smile, slowly moving closer, reaching out to Leo.

Cody smiled and nodded before heading out into the hallway.

Alex smiled, "The twins?"

Leo smiled softly st the hug.

Ted smiled and followed him.

"Alright." Artemis said, nodding.

Jacen was lying curled up on a couch in his office, having spent most of his time in there alone sincehearing back from the doctors.

"We should probably go..." Joseph said quietly.

Cody headed to the kitchen, pausing to look up at Ted.

Alex smiled and took his hand.

Frankie was outside the door peaking in, he was worried about Jacen. Besides bathroom breaks Jacen stayed in his office more and more, often a day or two went by that he didn't get to see Jacen. He wondered if he had done something wrong or had hurt his lover without knowing. Frankie sighed and tried to decide if he should come in or not.

Leo nodded and started walking back to the appartment.

Ted smiled kindly at Cody.

Artemis smiled back at Alex, pulling him close as they went to find the twins.

Jacen was half asleep, facing the back of the couch and didn't notice Frankie was there. He had his arms wrapped around himself, a cup of tea sitting untouched on the table.

Joseph stayed close to Leo, looking around carefully as they walked.

Cody shyly smiled back before turning to get a drink.

Alex smiled as they walked into the twins room.

Frankie sighed softly and slowly stepped in.

"Do you think they've found him yet?" Leo asled softly.

"Grandaddy and grandpapa!" Cole said, grinning as he got up off the floor from where he'd been building with his Lego again.

Jacen shifted slightly on the couch, but didn't turn around.

"I don't know, I doubt it though..." Joseph said quietly.

Alex smiled as he picked up Cole, "Hey!"
Kari came running over as well.

Frankie sat doiwn and just watched him.

Leo nodded as he opened the door to the appartment.

"Hiii." Cole said, giggling as Alex picked him up.
"Hey Kari." Artemis smiled, kneeling as he held his arms out.

After a few minutes Jacen rolled over, opening his eyes a little. "...Frankie?" He mumbled, still half asleep.

Joseph looked around as he waited for Leo to go in before following and closing the door behind them.

Alex smiled and hugged him, "you building again?"
Kari hugged him, "Hey granddaddy."

"Hey Jacen." Frankie said softly.

Leo sat down on the couch.

"Uh huh." Cole nodded, pointing at the castle he was working on.
"How are you doing?" Artemis asked.

"...what are you doing?" Jacen asked sleepily, yawning.

Joseph stood watching him before slowly going to make Leo some tea.

"That looks great Cole!" Alex said with a smile.
"I dong good! I've been painting like you!"

"Just sitting,: Frankie answered.

Leo bit on his lip as he sat there.

"It's not done yet." Cole told him.
"You have?" Artemis smiled, hugging her.

"Oh...why?" Jacen asked, confused.

Joseph sighed and sat down beside Leo as he handed him his tea. "Don't do that, you'll hurt yourself."
