+Red Amy Base+

Tika hugged her older brother tightly for some time until Bryon came into the room seeing as Tomi was now awake. Scientist and doctors also enter the room when they also noticed the now awake demon teen.

Two doctors usher out a crying Tika and Bryon who is trying to comfort her.

It has been hours since then.

Tomi looks at Amy and Grace with expressionless eyes they weren't use too.

"Tomi? How did you wake up?" Amy questions the boy curiously.

There was a pause, Tomi just stared at them blankly before looking away from them. He didn't speak.

The two heads of their respected departments look at each other worriedly. Tomi would usually cheerfully, depending on the situation, tell them what's wrong without a fuss.

"Tomi dear, please talk to us... Did you wake up from a nightmare?"

The only response was Tomi clutching the end of blanket close to his finger tips.

Grace approaches Tomi's bed slowly and cups the boy's cheek like she'd seen her Leader do so many times. The teen doesn't lean in, only closing his eyes with a short sigh.

"Where's my brother?"

Nurses and scientists in the room feel their skin prickle hearing the tone emotionless voice. Tomi gently pushed Grace's hand away from touching his cheek.

"I want to see him."

Amy fiddles with the tablet in her hands while she keeps her eyes locked on the demon teen. She could tell him, but what would be the end result. The scientist could hypothesize what would happen but there was a fifty fifty chance it could be good or bad.

"Your brother is out doing something at the moment Tomi, he won't be back for awhile." She tells him trying to sound like she usually was with the boy.

Tomi looks down to his hands, laid on top of each other on the dream device. His fingers brush over the strap gently... "How long is awhile Amy?"

Grace and Amy glance at each other and back at Tomi, "We're unsure."

"Where's my sister?" Tomi asks next as his emotionless tone continues.

"Bryon's taking care of her, we were informed before the two of them were escorted to her room so she could calm down." Amy tells the boy as he moves his legs to the side of the medical table to get off. She really wanted him to stay for further observation and questioning, yet a gut feeling told her to not interfere. "Will you be going to see her?"

"I have to..." Tomi lets his bare feet touch the cold floor of the observation room. His baby blue medical gown swaying a left to right in rhythm as he exits the room to go see his sister. "She's not well after all..."

When he's gone Amy looks to Grace to ask if she knows what's going on.

The head doctor of the Blue Group places a hand on her forehead.

"If feels like we got the Tomi back from a few years again after he was kidnapped."

~With Tika and Bryon~

The two of them at the side of her bed, Bryon trying to comfort his best friend while she continues to cry.

"What happened to my brother... *sniffs* Where in the world did the Tomi I knew go?" Tika questions as Bryon pats her on the head in comfort.

He really did want to cheer her up, answer the questions she had, but not everyone knows those answers. "I still can't believe Tomi was able to get out of those dream goggles by himself." Bryon says trying to change the subject to get Tika away from crying.

Tika leans her head on Bryon's shoulder while the brunet keeps his arm around her shoulders. "Amy showed me the blueprints for the dream goggles." She sniffs and accepts a tissue from the other when he offers one to her. "Dad made them so the wearer could sleep until the person with them awake controlling it turns the device off. It's initially used for Dad's prisoners for interrogation or some form of torture."

Bryon could feel a cold sweat go down his back, he hopes he never get on the man's bad side. "So I'm guessing Amy made some tweaks with the goggles to have them change their dreams? Maybe that's why Tomi was able to wake up on his own."

The girl shakes her head in disagreement with her friend. "From the blueprints, it said there should be a special chip attached to the device to keep the wearer from waking up." She thought there could be the possible chance they forgot to install the chip, but there's also the fact where they prepare these early and double check the goggles after making them to look for any errors.

Knock knock

Bryon and Tika looks at the door when they hear the knock. The older teen gets up from the bed after letting his best friend go. "Who is it?" He asks as he comes up to the door.

"It's me."

Cold, emotionless, those were the words Tika instantly thought of when she heard her brother's voice. Both hands on either side of her clutching the top of blanket on the bed tightly.

The brunet opens the door despite the tone coming from Tika's brother. When the door is open, the two look at the emotionless teen still in his medical gown barefooted. He steps pad over the carpet floor as he goes over to his sister.

"T-Tomi..." Her voice becomes shaken just by looking at him. Where was her cheerful hyperactive brother?

The demon teen takes a seat next to her on the side, Bryon quietly makes his exit from her room and closes the door softly behind him. He'd just wait by the door until what he hopes for the two siblings to fix each other up. Bryon had seen how the siblings work now, if something was wrong with one sibling, the other two would come fix them up no matter what. Though he wonders how his will be healed when both are broken at the moment.

"Tika..." It hurt his sister to not hear the usual nickname Tomi usually calls her by. She wanted to hear him say 'Tikky!' with emotions. "How are you?"

The girl places her hands on his lap, unsure of how to answer her brother. "I'm not sure..."

Although his sister says unsure, her brother can see everything wrong in anyone. He didn't need to ask, but to simply look at them for a small moment. Black eyes look at his sister, Tomi could tell his sister is burned with worry and stress.

"Do you want to know about my dream while I was asleep?"

"Tomi, I know you have nightmares..." She says holding her hands on her lap. The girl looking down to her lap since she wasn't strong enough to look her brother in the eyes. "I know about the bad guys who kidnapped you and Torm."

She stops when she feels soft hair lightly tickle her cheek while the owner lays their head on her shoulder. Then his hand slowly slips in to hold her hand gently, intertwining their fingers.

"They're my dreams Tika... but they're also my memories..." Tomi says softly as he closes his eyes to rest, he could feel her hand squeezing his. "I was there being taken care of by a young man about Torm's age. He was mysterious, an enigma, and a gentleman in a different way."

Tika listens to her brother continue talking about his memories about the man who took care of him.

"He always prioritized me, call me his Jewel." He remembers his memories by heart. Everyday imprinted in his memories forever. "He listened and took care of Torm when he was hurt when I asked him to treat his wounds."

"What was his name?" Tika asks to put a name to the mysterious person.

Tomi lifts his head off of Tika's shoulder so he could say his name properly while looking at her.

"His name is William Axel. He was a prodigy doctor and scientist who was assigned as my caretaker during my time of being kidnapped." Tomi described him over to Tika so she could create a mental picture from her imagination. She seemed to get the gist of him by her imagination of the young doctor at the time. "He never hurt me at all, but he did do something that would from time to time rob my emotions like now."

Tika looks at her brother confused, "What do you mean Tomi? He did something to drain your emotions like this?"

It was Tomi's turn to squeeze her hand a bit. He falls back on the bed to look at the ceiling blankly. "It was my final treatment and examination from him." She slide down next to her brother and lays on her side to keep her eyes on him.

"Solitary Confinement." Tomi says emotionlessly. "He left me alone in a room for a long period of time to the point where I lost track of the days that had gone by." He turns on his side to look back at his sister as their hands were still connected. The demon hybrid brings her hand up to his lips as he gives her knuckles a soft kiss.

Tika scoots closer to her brother which Tomi doesn't protest too.

"My emotions were starting to drain mentally and emotionally. I started disliking the thought of being alone for so long... I missed my older brother, my family, and even William." He shuts his eyes as the image of the young doctor pops up in his mind. His messy blond hair, perfect white smile always stuck in his loop of memories. "After some time, the door finally unlocked. I was free but I didn't feel like I was. William came in after a few seconds later and picked me up from my curled up spot on the floor. I was robbed of my affections that I so desperately craved... It hurt me to know it came from the person I trusted the most in that building besides Torm."

Tika could finally understand what her brother was getting at with his story. Leaving him alone for long periods of time will drain him of emotions both mentally and physically. He may be smiling one moment, but it wouldn't be real like she saw earlier when he woke up. The blond doctor, William Axel, had robbed her brother of the normal life of keeping emotions even if he is left alone for long periods of time even as he sleeps.

This must be why Tomi was always so affectionate with everyone around him, to fill himself up with as much love and affection he can, even if the people he loves goes away. She makes the assumption that Tomi makes connections with everyone in the base, along with new recruits so that he has a never ending way of receiving the attention he craves even if one person fades away from his life.

Then she realizes another thing.

Tomi has a fear of abandonment.

"I asked him to promise me he won't leave me again... but after more time passed..."

A sad expression takes Tika's face, "He left you again, didn't he?"

Tomi could only nod as his sister now comes closer to hug him as they're lying on the bed together. He hugs her back then nosing along under her jaw with closed eyes.

"I woke up one day very tired. He had already come into my cage to hold me close that I could hear his heartbeat. William told me he was leaving, I didn't want him to go." Tomi hugs his sister closer, "I never told anyone about this Tika and you're going to be the first." He whispers close to her ear.

His sister listens to hear what Tomi hasn't told anyone from the kidnapping years ago.

"He kissed me on the forehead and told me we'll meet again, but he'll be different."

Tika's eyes widen at the whispered words, 'That means he's still out there somewhere waiting to see Tomi again.' She thought to herself while keeping her arms around her brother.

Tomi yawns a bit, "I want to see him..."

"Why Tomi?" She has to ask because this was a man who had been part of her brother's nightmares.

"Because he-"

~+Black Army Base: With Tord, Torm, and Asher+~

As soon as Torm finally got Asher to stop fooling around with him, they got Tord out of his cell. The father not looking happy between the two teens seeing as how long they decided to take before they actually let him out.

"You two need to focus before I punish the both of you for stalling time to save Thomas. I swear if your mother was here Storm, he'd be telling you off too." Tord says irritably for having to wait such a long time for them to open the cell door.

"Sorry Father," Torm says respectfully as he keeps his arms to his side, ignoring the way the raven hair teen is looking at him.

Tord just shakes his head, "Let's just go look for your mother now. The sooner we leave, the sooner I can burn the whole abomination of this base to hell." He's really not in the mood to deal with shit because of the stress of not seeing his love safe.

Torm follows after his father who is walking ahead of them while Asher keeping up the pace with him.

"Is he usually like this?" Asher asks along the way quietly to the devil teen so the Red Leader won't over hear.

Torm merely sighs and shakes his head in response, "Not usually, I'm sure he's just concerned, actually more worried about my Mother. To say, they both have a strong connection to each other which is why my Father is over protective of my Mother which makes him act like this." They turn around the corner of the hall where they say his father went.

They both bump into the strong stand of Red Leader's back, both stumbling back a step from the rebound. Torm shook his head while Asher leans over to see why Tord has stopped.

Just down the hall he could see a familiar person standing there like they were waiting for them.

"Thomas..." Red Leader says the man's name under his breath as his good eye softens at the sight of him.

The man in black and grey doesn't say anything. He takes as step forward and continues his way to the three of them.

"Be careful Red Leader, that's not the person you used to know. That's Black Leader's secretary...." Asher tries to remind the man, but Tord pays no mind to the boy's warning.

The older man was more focused on the person he loved. It disgusted him deep down that Black Leader had done something to Tom's memory.

Tom stopped an arms length away from Tord, the code in his mind reminding him this is Red Leader, Black Leader's enemy. "You have the rights as of now to surrender peacefully and go back to your cell. Failure to do so will result in physical force of action." He warns Tord sternly.

"Mother...." Torm says not liking the blue man's words used against his father. This is definitely not his mother, the loving soon to be wife and caring mother of three.

Asher slides pass Torm and Tord to stand in front of them. "They're with me."

Tom looks at Asher for a moment in recognition, "Asher Woods, you have no authority to be taking prisoners anywhere as well as a new found intruder,"  He tells the teen firmly and puts a hand on the raven's shoulder. Tom moves Asher behind him and goes into a protective stance. "Please stand behind me until the the prisoner and intruder have been subdued."

Torm's eyes widen while Tord takes the first move by stepping forward quickly to catch Tom off guard. However, Tom's quick speed saves him and Asher as they quickly move to the side out of Red Leader's attack.

"Stay away from the fight, I don't want you getting hurt." Tom quickly says to the teen before going back to put Tord down first.

"Wait! Stop!" Asher exclaims, but Tom's not listening to him. He watched along with Torm who is standing where he was before his father moved to take control of the situation.

As the battle went on, Asher started to notice something. The Blue Secretary is fighting better than he was after he was brainwashed. He remembers his father saying something about Tom's fighting skills and leading failing a bit since he thought something was missing for him to resume his leading skills.

Asher finally figured it out, Tom's fighting skills come from protecting those under his protection. He remembers seeing it before when he visited the rebel base after Green was shot. Then the raven mixes in the caring love he shows to the younger people around him, like his kids and the other teens.

So this time the fuel Tom's using is the thought of protecting him since the secretary is on the Black Army side right now.

"Torm!" Asher says looking over to the devil teen with wide eyes.

Torm looks to Asher with confusion as he takes his eyes off his parents fighting for a moment. "What Blackie?! Can't you see I'm having hard time watching this right now!"

Tord ignores the boys in favor of keeping pace with his lover. He needed some way to jog Tom's memory in some way to get him to stop.

"Thomas... Tom... Listen to me please- I don't want to fight you." He blocks an incoming swings of his blue lover's arm. Struggling to hold Tom still for a moment, "Min kjære, I love you."

There was a flicking glitch in Tom's goggles on for the man to shake his head. At least Tord was getting somewhere.

"You need to cry!" Asher says to Torm from across the hall where Tom had left him.

"What?! Why in hell's name do I need to cry?!"

Asher clicks his to tongue, "Just trust me!" He looks at the Red Leader struggling a bit as he and Tom continue fighting. "Red Leader! You need to get Tom on his knees and hold him down from behind!"

Tord didn't want to listen to the boy, but given the situation, he'll take what he can get. "Give me a moment, I can at least hold him down for a few minutes. So make sure you get whatever you're going to do ready!"

The raven haired teen nods and goes over to Asher quickly without getting into Tom's visual range. Thankfully enough, Tord was enough to keep the man busy and focused on only him.

"Blackie I can't cry." Torm tells Asher seriously once the other teen makes it to him. "I rarely cry at all."

"You have too, look I figured out how to get your mother to remember everything." Torm looks at him for a quick explanation. "Your mother is protective right?"

"Yeah... Always has been since I met him." Torm says shrugging his shoulders.

Asher nods, "That's the thing, he's especially protective to those close to him. It's his reason to fight full force. If you can just show him how much you miss him, I think his brainwashing can be removed instantly." He thinks Torm's tears are enough for the job, if Torm cries then Tom might remember Tika and Tomi, eventually up to Tord. "Plus you were just crying literally not a hour ago."

"I swear to god Asher-"

"Not the time Torm, focus on trying to cry." He shifts his gaze to Tord who is finally working on getting Tom subdued on his knees. "Just think of something sad!"

When Tord finally has a struggling Tom on his knees is when the timer goes off for Asher. Torm approaches his mother unsure, he needs to cry yes but he needs to make it look genuine.

"Mother..."

"I am not your mother."

Okay, there's a heart breaker right there. Torm stops and Tord doesn't loosen his grip behind Tom. He needs to remind himself this was for the blue wearing man they all know and love.

"Please remember us... Remember Father, Tika, and Tomi..." Torm then continues to step forward towards his mother. "Remember me."

Again there is a glitch in Tom's goggles that Tord sees again while Asher thinks it's a good start.

"Mother, we miss you... so so much."

"Stop- I-I don't know what your talking about-" Tom says as he starts to feel dizzy again. He can see images of people he feels like he knows. Some in red army uniforms, others in blue, black, and white uniforms. Then there's Red Leader and three kids he's hugging while the look at him smiling.

Torm goes down on his knees and slowly wraps his arm around his mother's neck. "Try mom... please..." Now he can feel tears welling up behind his goggles as he hugs the man he calls his mother tightly. His red digital eyes turning blue as he closes them.

It struck a cord with Tom when he felt tears dripping onto the shoulder of his suit. Vulnerability placed on the table between the both of them which has the mother of devilish teen to stop struggling. His own visors turn black for a moment as Tord slowly backs away a bit to give space after letting Tom go.

"Tom, it's time you remember. It's about time we go home to our children." Tord says from behind Tom as he puts his hands on his lover's shoulders comfortingly.

Tom moves his arms from his sides and hugs Torm back, giving a squeeze that the teen knew was the moment his mother had returned to him and his father.

"I love you mom, welcome back."

Tom brings one of his hands up to gently press against the back of his son's head. "I love you too Torm. God have I missed you and your siblings so much..." He lets his own tears that have formed to roll down his cheeks, then placing a soft kiss at his son's temple. "It's good to be back."

Tord smiles and pats his lover and son on their heads while they hug things out. He then looks to Asher with a grateful expression on his face.

"Thank you."

Asher smiles and takes pride by the thanks he received from Red Leader.

"No problem Red Leader."

~Small Time Skip~

"I see, so Tomi's been temporarily put to sleep because of his nightmares." Tord says when he thought about what his son had explained to him.

The four of them have taken to a safe corner where Asher knew not a lot of soldiers went to for breaks. Torm has given his parents a run down at what had happened at the base while the both of them had been gone for the past few days.

Tom covers his mouth as he tries to hold back another round of tears. "My poor baby boy," He says sadly and thinks of how hard it must been for Tomi. The Blue Leader wanted to go home and hug all his children together to say sorry for letting all this happen to them. He could only imagine what Tomi is dreaming of and what Tika must feel handling the base while Torm's gone to retrieve them. "Tika at least has Bryon there with her, right?"

"Of course Mother, thankfully Bryon was left with Tika since Uncle Edd and Matt thought it would be better for her to have someone to keep her company and talk to." Torm replies as he satisfied to see his mother sigh in relief.

Tord gets up from his seat on a chair and dusts himself off. "Then we should get to work and escape this base. I want to burn this place to the ground for making such a mess of my family and army."

Tom could see a dark look on his soon to be husband's face. He can't help but chuckle before look back at the two teens, especially Asher.

"Asher."

The raven teen looks at Tom with a curious expression as to why the man was calling his attention. "Yes?"

"I was wondering if you'd like to come home with us?"

Now that shut Tord and Torm up instantly at whatever train of words they had to say. To say the least, Asher also seemed dumbfounded by the question.

"What do you mean sir?" He could feel though green pixelated eyes scanning him up and down. "This is my home.

"It is your home, but seeing as my fiancé here is about to burn this place down along with everyone inside..." He looks to the side unsure of how to continue without being dark. "I think you know what I mean."

Tord did kinda feel bad since he would be taking down this kid's home where he grew up in. Asher did help him get out of his cell and figured a way to restore Tom's memory. "He's not wrong kid. My anger for your father for doing all this is already making me fall into rage to bring this whole place down in flames. It's most likely everyone won't survive, including your father."

Asher thought about it for a moment, everything he ever knew in this Base will be gone by Red Leader's flames. This includes the people either asleep or walking about on Patrol.

Then again he's never really found this Base like a home anymore since his mother died.

Blood

Lifeless body

Knife

Small snippets of his memories of the time flashing through his mind. It's never been the same...

"I'm okay with that."

Torm looks at Asher confused, so Asher was going to join their side now?

Tom gets out of his seat and comes over to the teen and hold one of his hands, green eyes looking at him softly. "Are you sure Asher?"

The raven looks back at Tom with a fake smile, "My life here wasn't anything great anyways since my mother died." He confessed which Tom takes to the heart as courage to say something like that to a stranger. "She was the only person I trusted, but she's gone now. All I can ever think about is what she wants best for me and choose."

"Then let me be the first to say welcome to our side." Tom smiles at him, in return Asher shows him one back in relief.

Torm gets up and taps on his earpiece to finally get things going. "Reggie, Zack, is everything prepared?"

"All bombs are in place on my end." Zack informs through the earpiece.

"Mine too! Claire just finished setting down the last one." Reggie replies as the soldiers start regrouping.

"Good, then have soldier fall back to the jeeps. Uncle Edd-"

"We got you Torm, Paul's driving the chopper over the base as we speak so we can pick you up on the roof. I assume you already have your parents." Edd smoothly cuts in with a smile as he watches the chopper get over the Black Army Base's fence line.

Torm nods even if his uncle can't see it. "They're fine and safe... by the way we'll be having a plus one enter the chopper with us."

"Copy that Torm, we'll see all of you soon."

The wobbly smile on the Red Leader's face is so priceless since he's seeing his son lead the soldiers with calm focus. "I have never been more prouder in my life."

Tom laughs and pats Tord on the shoulder. "Love please, not now."

They all decided it's time to finally leave the break room, Asher took a moment to check the hall to find no one around. He signals them to follow him so he could take them to the roof of the east building.

Asher slams the door to the roof open to find himself across from a woman holding a gun aimed at him.

"Jessica."

"Hey little boy." The Black Army spy says keeping the gun aimed at Asher.

The family of three catch up to Asher to find him in danger of becoming shot at. Jessica sees Tom and moves the point of the gun away from Asher to him.

"How?" Tom simply questions keeping a level glare at the woman.

"Simply heard the commotion out in the hall when I was doing my rounds. Did a little peeking to find out you had been returned back to Red Leader, by some traitor." She glances at the raven haired boy, Torm getting in front of Asher to shield him from her view protectively. "Your father won't be pleased about this."

"He won't find out." Asher states firmly from behind Torm while holding his own glare at her.

A chopper raises up from the side of the building close to the roof top, the wind made by the propellers has them make a heavy stance. The door sliding open mid air to reveal Edd and Matt looking down at them.

"We're here!" Matt shouts, but his boyfriend's points out to him the woman with them. They take their guns out and aim them at her.

"Put the gun down!" Edd shouts over the sound of the propellers.

"Over my dead body!" Jessica retorts looking up at them.

Asher takes the chance, rushes forward pass Torm to tackle her to the ground, making her drop the gun in the process. "Go now!"

Tom went to Torm and brought him over to Tord to have him bring their son over to the helicopter. The Red Leader took care of their son while Tom went back to get Asher.

"Asher come on!"

The teen gets off of the raven haired woman and runs over to Tom as quick as he could, panting out of breath a bit. The man takes his hand and pulls him towards the helicopter where everyone is waiting for them.

Tom steps onto the helicopter ready to pull Asher up onto the aircraft as it starts raising up to get away from the building.

"You're not going anywhere squirt!"

Asher felt a weight on his left leg around his ankle. He turns his head back, looking down to find an angered Jessica looking back at him.

"Let me go!" He exclaimed trying to kick her grip off his ankle.

Tom looks at Paul in the driver's seat, "Wait Pau! Asher's being held down."

"Shit! We need to get away soon!" Paul says quickly with worry.

Patryk is on the radio to check the bombs, "How long do we have until the bombs detonate?!"

"Five minutes sir!" A red soldier answers on the other end. The bombs were set to self destruct by themselves once they were all places in their proper places. Patryk kept insisting those on the ground at the camp to try and stall the time but the timers kept ticking.

That's not a lot of time for Asher since Jessica didn't seem on letting him go anytime soon. Tom kept a tight grip on the boy's hand, there was no way he was gonna let Jessica take this kid away from him.

"Let go of him Jessica!"

"Not a chance!"

Asher looks between the ones helping him and the person holding him back. "Tom, just let me go please."

"Asher what-"

"Just let me go." Asher looks at Red Leader, the man's lover, and their son Torm. "Thanks for offering me to come with you, but it seems I have to stay here." His hand lets go of Tom's hand yet the man doesn't let go.

"Asher..." Tom says quietly.

Asher's hands slip from Tom's grip and the chopper is flying away from the side of the east base building. The bombs go off right when the copter is at a safe distance away.

Torm shakes his head and pushes pass his parents and jumps out of the aircraft. "That little-" He says under his breath as he dives down for Asher.

"Torm!" His parents call out for him but he ignores their shouts. He lets his wings spread open from his back smoothly, letting his tail wave about in the wind while his horns fully grow at the front top of his head.

He glides over to the crumbling building where Jessica and Asher are falling to their death in the burning blaze caused by the explosions.

"Asher!" Torm says the teen's name who had passed out from the overwhelming situation. He swoops in and catches the teen in both his arms. Then he flaps his wings strongly to push them out of the heat of the explosion and falling debris. He glances over his shoulder to see Jessica be engulfed by the flames and debris alone. 'Have fun in hell...'

He looks down at the unconscious teen in his arms and smiles softly. "You're an idiot Blackie... Don't make me worried about you." His wings flap a few times to reach the chopper and enter through the open door.

"I got him."

Tom and Edd go over to the two teens to check on them while Matt is radioing the camp below for information. Tord signals his two soldiers with relieved smile, "All right, lets head back to the camp."

"Yes sir!"

~Small Time Skip~

When they got down to the camp, Asher was carefully moved to the medical tent to be check out for injures and health reasons. Edd and Matt went to check the other helicopters to see if they've been cleaned up throughly before they deciding if they should use them tomorrow. Tom and Tord were also checked into the medial tent to receive treatment for any injured they may have received during the time of captivity.

Meanwhile, Torm went around the camp checking up with soldiers and supplies they had brought with them. So far they were still fully rationed with basic necessities and the jeeps were well maintained. The soldiers were all accounted for and only a few received minor injuries.

All medics had returned from their positions and were at the medical tent paying attention to all the patients inside.

"Torm." The devilish teen turns around to see Lizzie, the head nurse who doctor Grace appointed to come with them on the mission. She's holding a radio in her hands covering the mic. "You have a call from the main base."

"Is something wrong?" He asks worriedly as he holds his hand out for the woman to give him the radio.

She shakes her head slowly and places the radio in his hand. "Your sibling wishes to speak to you."

"Thank you, I'll speak with Tika to tell her I'm okay with Mother and Father."

Lizzie has a knowing smile on her face, leaving with a nod of her head to go back to the medical tent to tend to the soldiers.

Torm brings the radio up to his ear, "Hey Tika, how is-"

"Tormy?"

~+Red Army Base+~

Tomi is up in the blue radio tower sitting alone in a private room Howard kindly offered him. He held the radio phone up to his ear with one hand with his back pressed against the wall behind him. His legs hugged against his chest in a curled up position.

"Tomi...?"

Hearing his brother he wants to cry, it's feels like forever since he heard his brother's voice. He wanted to question why his brother was awake when he should be asleep with the dream goggles on. However he couldn't because he was just too relieved to hear his younger brother's voice again.

"Tormy..." Tomi says, his voice sounding wobbly as he tries to hold in his tears.

Torm on the other end of the phone moves away from the crowd over to parked jeeps, more specifically Zack and Reggie's Jeep where the noise starts to fade out. "I'm here Tomi," trying to reassure his brother as he gets the feeling his brother is crying by the sound of his voice. He's trying to sound assuring yet he can't help but feel choked up too.

He felt so lost when his brother was put into a sleeping state because of his nightmares.

Tomi lets his legs dangle down where he sat on the wooden stool so he can cradle the phone with both hands. "Where are you?"

"Just wait a little longer..." Torm says holding the radio closer to his ear. "I'll be home soon, so will Mother and Father."

The demon teen let's tears continue to slide down his cheeks and drip from his chin. He wants to be where his brother is at, hug him tightly and tell him he's an idiot even if he did do something right. It was dangerous in the first place for his older brother to go, yet... he understands as time goes on, his brother will eventually do this more often when he takes over the Red Army.

"Please come home Tormy- I miss you so much. I miss Mom and Dad a lot as well."

"I know, I know...." Torm jumps into his seat on the Jeep and leans back to let his head look up at the night sky filled with stars. "I miss you too Tomi."

"I want you to come home soon." He lets out a small whine as he curls up on his seat again, bring his legs up to his chest while keeping one arm over them.

Torm will have to ask Zack how much fuel they need to burn to quickly make it back to the Red Army Base later. "I'll see what I can do. How's our little sister?"

"When I woke up, she looked stressed. We talked for awhile about my dreams until we both felt better." This is why his brother didn't ask about his tone, his usual emotions have been put back into place after talking with his sister for awhile. So it didn't make his brother suspicious of what happened while he was gone from the base.

"That's good to hear, I'm happy you both have each other right now. Hearing you both sound safe at the moment really calms my nerves." No doubt the stress of leaving his siblings alone left him worriedly stressed himself.

There was a pause until Tomi decided to talk again.

"Tormy?"

"Yes Tomi?"

Tomi bit his bottom lip considering to tell his older brother what he told their sister. How William said he would return for him...

He shakes his head, "I just hope you all come home safe." Tomi decided to keep this secret between Tika and himself.

Torm, not knowing of Tomi's secret, smiles at his brother's usual caring words for all of them.

"Call me again when you need to Tomi. I have to go attend to something right now." Torm said seeing some of the soldiers waving for his attention when he turns his head to the camp they made.

"Alright Tormy, goodnight."

"Goodnight Tomi, sweet dreams."

Hey everyone ^^

So news as always:

I just moved into my dorm two days ago so I've been busy. Don't worry still writing ^^

Tom and Tord a back, yay! Asher has now joined the ready Army too without regret! Hope you guys are happy with that.

Explanation on how Tomi's emotions work. If Tomi is left alone for a long period of time, even when asleep, he can become emotionless, like dead emotionless. No traces of happiness, sadness, nothing but like an expressionless doll. The only way Tomi can regain emotions is with talking to people more and more, like with Tika for example. They had some heart to heart talking and Tomi slowly regains emotions through it. Hope this explanation isn't too confusing. ^^'

Now to the Great Fanart we have lined up for today!
