Rogue_Rick1: What do you wish for?

Rick: Yeah, my Morty's made a run for it. You guys are the best trackers among us, and Beth's upset, so I'll let you guys do this for me.

Rogue_Rick2: Earth C137 Morty, I presume?

Rick: Yeeeep.

[The Rouge Ricks nod simultaneously and head into a portal with Rick.]

[Meanwhile, Morty is in a dimension that make up open plains, seemingly abandoned by all human life, although it was apparently around a long time ago by the looks of the scattered ruins. He's walking along until he hears the familiar noise of a portal opening.]

Morty: Fuck.

[He spots an opening to a sewer, the top slightly removed. It's disgusting but he doesn't care, taking the top off and leaping in. It's a very short fall and he manages to mostly get the top over the hole before he hears the Ricks start to talk; he quickly backs away from the middle and curls up in the corner, listening.]

Rogue_Rick1: He should have been right in front of us. Must've hidden somewhere around here... he's smarter than the average Morty. Most would just run for it.

Rick: I didn't ask you to do this for compliments about my Morty, I asked you to find him for my daughter.

Rouge_Rick1: Alright. Any tactics you know?

Rick: He's a soft one, like most of them. Guilt-trip him and he'll probably come out.

[The Rogue_Ricks start making comments about Morty's family, even including a few about Rick.]

Morty: (thoughts) They're lying to me. My family must miss me, but Rick? Never.

[Insert half-assed caring comment from Rick.]

[Suddenly, the sewer top opens. Morty freezes, staring at the opening as it opened and a Rogue_Rick pokes his head in, looking around. His gaze freezes on Morty, shivering from his position.]

[The Rogue_Rick calls to the others, then looks back down to see Morty making a run for it again. He leaps down, chasing him. The other Rogue_Ricks follow him.]

[Morty crashes into the sewer Rick and Morty from that trailer thing. He gets to his feet and tries to run again but gets tackled by a Rogue_Rick]

Rouge_Rick2: Got 'em!

[The Ricks crowd around Morty, while sewer Rick and Morty disappear into their own business because I don't need them for this fanfic anymore]

Rick: Well, thanks for that.

[Morty struggles but in vain, as the portal gun is taken from him and he's sent back through to his home, Rick walking through. Morty instantly leaps for Rick, who has set a portal gun down and is blocking it, but is deflected.]

Rick: Struggle all you want, but Beth would kill me if I let you go again. Lucky for you, she's at work.

Morty: N-no, Rick! You can't keep me here! You may not care about i-it but Summer and I do! We're s-sick of it, I can't stand living here a-any longer!

[Summer runs downstairs at this time, hearing his rant.]

Summer: Oh, thank god! You found him! Where was he?

Rick: He was hiding out in the sewer. Tried to run from us and the pack of Ricks I got to track him down caught him. I'd keep an eye on him, Summer. He'll be trying to escape again.

[Rick goes to put the portal gun back in his room, and to bury the other one.]

Summer: Okay, I am not taking my eyes off you for a second. How could you just leave like that? We were worried sick!

Morty: Like I care! To hell with this life! You guys being worried is better than living here and dealing with everything! Honestly, Rick should've just left me. Told you guys I was alright and then you could get on without me.

Sumemer: That wouldn't be enough! We need you here!

[Morty doesn't answer, and refuses to talk with her for the duration of the day. He stays in his room. Beth and Jerry arrived. Summer is blocking the door to his room.]

Jerry: Summer, move. I have a right to see my own son.

Sumemer: I think you two have done enough! You're the ones that pushed him over the edge! Leave him alone and when he feels like talking to you, he will!

[Reluctantly, Beth and Jerry head off.]

AN: Sumemer was a typo we just kept 'cause it's funny, don't hurt me.
