There on the counter was an infant Virgil wearing his now over-sized hoodie and chewing on a wooden spoon.

"Logan... what happened to him?" Patton asked as he walked over to Virgil.

"He seems to have swallowed some dust that was supposed to go in my potions." Logan answered.

Patton nodded and picked up Virgil in his hoodie. Patton cooed, "Aren't you just the cutest?"

"Wait, you aren't mad at Logan for letting one of his dust thingies getting to Virgil?" Roman asked.

"Of course not. I know Logan can fix it." Patton carried Virgil on his hip and looked at Roman, "Roman, get the leaders, Rai, Emile, Remy, Marcus, Bane, Remus, and Janus gathered in the common room."

"Why?" Roman asked.

"So I can tell everyone to take turns taking care of my dark strange son." Patton smiled.

~~~~~

"Why are we here again?" Synn asked, bored out of his mind as Bane sat in his lap, also bored.

Roman and Logan were waiting for Patton to return with baby Virgil.

"Something happened to Virgil to make him an infant," Logan replied.

Roman looked around at everyone. Then he looked at Remus, who had an amused smirk on his face. Roman furrowed his eyebrows and made a mental note to interrogate Remus later.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting," Patton said as he rose up. Phoenix, Rai, and Emile squealed when they saw baby Virgil in a black cat onesie.

"He's so adorable...!" Emile clapped his hands together.

"I know!" Patton smiled. He looked at everyone, "Of course, I'll need some Sides to keep watch over him for me while I'm busy, so I'll let Virgil choose his first babysitter."

Patton placed Virgil on the floor. Virgil looked around at everyone, then he sunk down, making everyone panic.

"Where'd he go!?" Phoenix yelled.

"Found him." Emile smiled as he pointed down. Everyone looked down and saw Virgil attached to Emile's leg as if his life depended on it.

"Emi!" Virgil said and giggled.

Patton sighed in relief, "Okay, Emile will be the first one to take care of him, alright?"

Everyone nodded and went back to whatever they were doing. Remus got up from the couch and Roman walked up to him.

"Can I help you, brother?" Remus smiled a bit.

"I think you can." Roman grabbed Remus by the wrist and sunk down with him.

~~~~~

They appeared in the Darkscape. Roman let go of Remus' wrist and glared at him.

"I have a feeling you had something to do with this," Roman said.

"What makes you say that?" Remus crossed his arms, an amused look on his face.

"I know you, Remus. I have known you for both of our lives. I know you would be chaotic enough to do something as stupid as this. Now, thanks to you, Logan will have to come up with a solution on how to get Virgil back." Roman said.

"The nerd is smarter than all of us, he can come up with something." Remus rolled his eyes.

"But if he doesn't, it'll be all your fault."

"Come on, Roman! You're just paranoid!"

"I'm going to tell everyone that you caused this." Roman turned and was about to walk away, but he heard Remus mutter something.

"Do that and I'll tell everyone your secret..."

"...You wouldn't dare."

"Oh, but I would."

Roman thought for a second. Then he sighed and looked at Remus, "Fine. I won't tell anyone."

"And I won't tell anyone about your secret."

Roman stayed quiet and sunk down, leaving Remus to stand there with a playful smile still dancing on his face.

"Besides... it's not like I kept his secret from... everyone." Remus muttered.
