WHO: Lena, Jamie, Anthony and Thomas
WHAT: A rescue
WHEN: Friday
WHERE: Their home, demon place, their home
WARNINGS: Drug use, talk of sexual assault and the effects of abduction



Lena believed she just might pace a whole in the floor. She knew Anthony was working as hard as he could, but she wanted to know where her fiance now. Yesterday. Three or four days ago when he had apparently gone missing and somehow Lena hadn't even noticed.

Guilt and fear twisted knots in her stomach, and she hardly noticed she hadn't eaten since Sappho called. She'd been surviving on coffee and nerves. Still, she made Jamie a sandwich, because it seemed important that he eat. Then, rather unceremoniously, she sat it in front of him before looking back to Anthony to watch him working.

Thomas smiled wearily and Lena patted the spot beside Thomas on the bed so Jamie could just crawl up. She took the bowl and fed a bit to Thomas, who had apparently gotten over his embarrassment at needing help.

After swallowing a bite, Thomas said, "'suppose this answers the myst'ry of who was druggin' me. Still don't know why though. He didn' say. Just...said shitty things and shot me up."

Jamie folded himself up next to his father on the bed, sitting quietly for a moment as he ate a few bites of soup. "How are you feeling?" he asked, for lack of anything else to say.

"I don't think he really needs a reason," Jamie said tiredly. "I think they just do it because they can, because it's fun for them. Because demons are complete and total assholes."

Thomas sighed and ate another few bites of soup. "I feel very upset," was the best Thomas could really do to sum up his emotions on the matter of being abducted and drugged. "And ever'thing hurts."

"We were pretty upset too," Lena said with a sigh. "Thomas? When you said Beelzebub did other things beyond drugging to you, was that just- Was it just him saying terrible things?"

"No," Thomas said and when Lena tried to feed him more soup, he turned away from the spoon. "Don't think Jamie needs to hear?"

Lena felt her stomach sink then, because she had a pretty horrible idea she knew where this was going.

"I think that's an understatement," Jamie said. "My brain felt like a live wire, just...never shut up about potential worst case scenarios. It's really unhelpful like that."

Jamie felt dread sink its claws into his stomach, but that didn't mean he was going to run away. "Dad, if you can stand to listen to what happened to me, then I can be here for you, if you want me to."

Lena reached out to squeeze Jamie's shoulder while Thomas struggled with how to explain what had happened to him.

"I- I don't-" and then Thomas burst into exhausted and traumatised tears. "I didn't want to, but I was so- He untied me for it. He said Jamie didn't and so I- Said if I didn't cooperate, he'd do worse to Lena. Held my hair, and- Fucking- Gave me twenty dollars afterwards. Slipped it into my pocket."

Lena didn't even have words to react to that.

Jamie could feel all the color drain out of his face. He couldn't even process all the emotions he was feeling, he felt like he was going to throw up.

Very calmly, he got up and walked out of the room. He stood staring at his bedroom door, before pulling his arm back and punching it as hard as he could. "Motherfucker," he choked out on a strangled sob, cradling his throbbing hand next to his chest. The fact that that shithead of a demon had done that too his dad-rage and guilt were warring within him right now, he couldn't even find words to say what he was feeling right now.

Lena watched Jamie leave, but for the moment she stayed with poor Thomas. She leaned down and kissed Thomas' cheek, cradling his face in her hands. "You're safe now, love. Hmm? And we're going to burn those clothes and the money along with them. You're okay, sweetheart."

Tears still slipped out of the corners of Thomas' eyes, but he nodded. "Can- Can you check on Jamie please?"

"I'll be right back, okay. I love you." Lena rose and headed out of the bedroom to find Jamie, and when she found him, she felt like her heart was shattering even more, if that was possible. "Jamie-" she said, her voice betraying her heartbreak. "Jamie. You-you hurt your hand."

"Fuck my hand," Jamie said in a hollow voice, even though it really did hurt, and he'd split open one of his knuckles. "I'm sorry I walked out, I just-I couldn't-"

He ran out of words, sinking slowly onto the floor, crying softly. "He did that to Dad because I wouldn't," he said, barely able to form the words. "This is so fucking fucked up, and I feel so bad for him."

Lena crouched down beside him too, gently taking Jamie's hand into her own. "We can bandage this up in a moment." It was probably going to hurt tomorrow. "Jamie, that demon didn't do this because of you. He did it because he's an asshole." She held out her arms for him if Jamie needed to lean on someone. She had never really seen Jamie react to something in this way, but it was hardly surprising considering what he was reacting to. "I feel bad for him too."

Jamie curled into her, gently resting his injured hand in hers. "Dad's just such a great person, he didn't deserve that," he said, resting his head on her shoulder. "I mean, no one does, but I just-I hate to think of him having to go through that."

Lena wrapped her arms around Jamie and she kissed his head. "Me too. I just-" Lena sighed heavily. "Poor Thomas. Why do those awful demons have to go there all the time? Just- I hate them. I hate them so much." Lena started to cry too, but she kept quiet as she did so. "I hate them."

"Because they like to go for the jugular, metaphorically, anyway," Jamie answered. "It's the things you keep buried, the things you don't tell anyone about, they get hold of them and they use them like weapons. The mind-reader and shapeshifter who was with him while he had me, she just...got so far deep inside my head, waded through my memories, and then he had that to use later whenever he wanted. They poke at the open wounds, because it gets the best results. And I really fucking hate them for it."

"We'll figure out a way to keep them from us," she said, pressing a kiss to Jamie's forehead. "Come on, we need to bandage you up. And I think Thomas could use the company until things...until things get bad." She rose, and held out a hand so she could pull him up with his good one. "I can wrap this up on the bed. I mean, if you're ready to see him?"

"Yeah, alright," Jamie agreed, pulling himself up with his good hand. "It wasn't that I couldn't be around him, I just-I didn't want to shout or make him feel like I was angry at him, or something. But I'll stay with him til things start to get shitty."

"I think he would understand," she said, walking him back towards the bedroom. When Jamie entered the room, Lena ducked out for a second to grab the first aid kit, giving father and son a chance to talk alone.

Thomas was still crying, but he sniffed hard and gestured Jamie closer with his head. "Jamie," he said sadly, "you hurt yourself."

One corner of Jamie's mouth quirked upward in a tiny, self-deprecating smile. "Nothing that won't heal," he said, sitting back down next to his father. "Sorry I just...walked out like that. Apparently I needed to have a meltdown."

Thomas reached out to pull Jamie in for a hug, burying his face in Jamie's hair. "Can't really blame you for that," Thomas said, voice still cracking a bit with emotion. He was feeling a bit like having a meltdown himself. Had he been himself he never would have done it, but with Jamie in his arms, the tears started coming thick and fast. Unable to hold himself back, he openly sobbed into Jamie's hair while he clung tightly to his son.

Lena re-entered the room, the first aid kit in her hands. When she witnessed the heartbreaking scene in front of her, however, she froze and put a hand over her mouth to try to keep her own emotion in.

Jamie held onto him with his good hand, trying not to turn into a complete, blubbering mess. For god's sake, his dad was the one who'd just been rescued from assaulted, and repeatedly shot up with heroin. But he could only quash down the way he felt for so long, it eventually had to come bubbling up to the surface, or he would have gone insane. He wasn't too sure when he'd started crying again, but he didn't really care that he had.

It was several minutes before Thomas started to calm down and he stopped hiding his face. "I'm sorry for crying on you," he said, still half crying anyway. "That's all I've been doin' for days."

Lena rubbed at her mouth and then she stepped closer, "Thomas can I ask if uhm...did that horrible demon touch you?"

"No, thank fuck," Thomas breathed, letting Jamie go so Lena could clean up his hand. "No, he just made me suck 'im off."

Lena made a face as she pulled some antiseptic out of the kit. "I want to murder him."

"I spent a good chunk of my life not only crying on you, but throwing up too," Jamie pointed out. "If you need to cry, cry. I'm really not going anywhere."

The antiseptic made him pull a face. He knew it was going to sting, but he also knew it needed to be cleaned. And he figured he deserved it for being stupid enough to punch a door.

Lena warned him before wiping at the knuckle he had split. When she had cleaned it up, she wrapped a bandage around his hand. "That okay, love?" she asked, planting a kiss on his hand.

Thomas wiped at his eyes, but Lena being so sweet with his son still made him smile lightly. "Is there more soup?" he asked, though he waited until Lena was done with Jamie. "Didn't eat enough. Then you should prob'ly go 'n lock the door. I don't feel so good."

Jamie hissed, because it stung like a bitch, but he bore it as well as he could. "It's fine, thanks Lena," he said. "I'm just glad it's not my dominant hand."

"I think so, but it might be kind of cold by now," he answered. "I can heat it up, though, if you want. If you want to try and eat a few more bites."

"I don't care if it's cold," Thomas said honestly. "I'll just drink it down. 'm tired. I might nap. Won' get much sleep soon."

Lena grabbed the bowl and helped Thomas finished off the soup. When he was done, Thomas did indeed look like he was going to pass out, so she leaned in to kiss his forehead. "I love you, Thomas. We'll be right outside, okay?"

"Mmm," Thomas nodded, inching down in the bed.

Before leaving the room, Lena ducked into the bathroom to grab Thomas' soiled clothes, and then she left Jamie to tell his father goodnight before he joined her in the kitchen.

Jamie stayed where he was as his father burrowed into the blankets. "I love you, Dad," he said, squeezing him once more. "You know that, right? We'll be here if you need anything."

He closed the door behind him, heading out to the kitchen to join Lena. He poured himself a mug of coffee, sighing heavily as he dropped into a chair. "I hate this," he said into his mug.

Thomas simply let out a soft sigh because he did know.

Lena's expression was grim as she fished through the pockets of Thomas' soiled jeans until she found the money he had referred to. A folded twenty-dollar bill had been tucked into the left front pocket. Lena crumpled it up and hurled it across the kitchen before roughly opening the small cupboard where they kept plastic bags and placing the clothes inside one of the bags. Finally, she washed her hands at the sink, scrubbing her skin harder than she probably needed to.

When she finally collapsed into a chair beside Jamie, she was fighting back tears again. "Me too," she finally said. "It feels like...it should be a relief he's home, but we can't breathe just yet."
