I'm fine if I can fool myself tonight

"I love you." Mikey said quietly, smiling at him.

Jacen slowly laid back down on the bed, blinking a few times, pulling a face.
Nathaniel slowly reached a hand out, hesitating before knocking on the younger Darwin's bedroom door.

"I love you too." Zane said softly.

"You ok?" Peter asked softly.
"Come in?"

Mikey grinned and reached a hand up to Zane.
"We need to figure out a way to get the others back..." Vincent said.

"Can't see properly..." Jacen mumbled, blinking again to try and fix it.
Nathaniel opened the door and slowly took a few steps into the room after closing it behind him, looking worried.

Zane took his hand with a smile.

"You nned your over meds." Peter said.
"What is it?" Jacob asled.

"Can you get me my laptop?" Mikey asked him.

"What other meds...?" Jacen asked, looking confused.
"Have you actually seen that Jacen guy?" Nathaniel asked. "He doesn't look well..."

Zane went and got it.
"We should find Frankie first....."

"For your sickness."
"Peter hasn't let me...."

Artemis frowned, but nodded, agreeing.
Once Mikey had his laptop, he started looking for recent information on Raven.

Jacen groaned and curled up, pouting.
"He looked terrified..." Nathaniel frowned. "And he could barely stand up properly without leaning on Peter..."

Alex sighed and kissed his cheek.

Peter gave him his over shot.
Jacobn shook his head.

Artemis hung his head, pouting, missing his twin.

Jacen made an irritated sound and curled up more.
"He shouldn't be here, he needs a doctor..."

Alex hugged him tighter.

Jacob nodded.

Artemis buried his face against Alex's neck, hugging him tightly.
"Who are we going to send to get Frankie?" Carmen asked.

"I take it Peter wouldn't listen though if you told him that, would he?"

"I could go?" Leo said.

"No he wouldn't...." Jacob said sadly.

"Have you dealt with Raven at all before?" Artemis asked.

Nathaniel frowned and shook his head. "Why not?"

"Once." Leo said softly.

"He thinks he knows best...."

Artemis gave a small nod.
"Why don't you accompany him Joseph?" Vincent suggested with a smirk.

"Oh..." Nathaniel said, sighing.

Leo flushed slightly but didn't say anything.

Jacob oput his head in his hands.

"Oh...sure." Joseph said, trying not to look embarrassed.
"Will two be enough...?" Carmen asked.

Nathaniel frowned and went over to him, hesitating before putting a hand on his shoulder.

Angel nodded. "I would think so."

Jacob turned and hugged him sadly.

"When should we go?" Joseph asked.

Nathaniel slowly wrapped his arms around Jacob, hugging him back.

"In a hour." Angel said, "Get ready."

Jacob relaxed against him.

Joseph nodded and got up, heading off to Vincent's room to get ready.

Nathaniel smiled shyly, hesitantly hugging him closer.

Leo went to get ready.

Jacib smiled softly.

Artemis started humming quietly again, gently pulling Alex closer against him.

"Sorry..." Nathaniel mumbled nervously, quickly letting go.

Alex relaxed against him, dozing off.

"No.... Its ok...." Jacob said softly.

Joseph came back out soon after, dressed in his assassin gear.

"It is...?" Nathaniel asked, still not used to how different the brothers were to each other.
