I have never seen Phil act like that. He acted as if Astro was inferior to him, he didn't even treat him like a normal prisoner.

And I've seen Wilbur go off on Phil before, but never that furiously.

No matter how awfully Philza spoke about vigilantes, or how upset Wilbur looked, he always reigned in his sadness, or his anger, and kept his arguments short and sweet.

But this time, Wilbur looked livid, more livid than he has ever looked, even with a blindfold covering his reddish brown eyes.

I disabled the cameras on my way out and held up a 1 while I walked out. Telling Wil he had 10 minutes with no cameras.

Next I walked back to the office, where an upset Phil, and a confused Tommy were waiting.

I ignored Phil, I would discuss this with him later.

I opened the hallway door, and heard Tommy get up and follow me.

I disabled the camera in my office with a red spark.

"What happened?" He asked as we stepped into my office.

I sighed, "It's confidential."

"But?" He pressed.

"You're from Logstedshire."

He nodded with a self satisfied grin.

"You know the duo from Logstedshire, right?"

He scoffed, "You could say I'm familiar with their work."

I smiled a bit, "Yeah, well, we captured Astro a week and a half ago, and-"

"Wait, you captured Astro? How?" He asked bewildered.

"He was severely burnt, and passed out."

"And Icarus?" He asked.

"Still out there." I said, putting a hand on his shoulder. "You're safe."

Tommy flinched away a bit, "I'm not worried for me, I'm worried about my brother."

I thought for a moment. "Does your brother work too?"

He nodded, "Work in District 16 is hard to find, let alone safe, so he has to walk to District 14 for his job every day."

"Maybe he can come here to be with you for a day." I suggested.

Tommy looked out the window, "Maybe."

Tommy left the office, the door clicking softly behind him.

I knitted my fingers together, deep in thought.

All I knew for certain, was that it will take a lot longer to fix up relationships this time.

And I would need Tommy's help.

Short chapter. Lack of motivation, but I got it back!

Should I write one more build-up?

Or should I start tumbling?

Have a great day/night my friends!
