"The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive."
-John Green, 'Looking for Alaska'


"So you know they're coming then?" Cassie asked, frowning. "I don't understand. They'll stop you."

"No. They won't." Remy shook his head, a smile sliding onto his face. "They'll be too busy rescuing their girlfriends. And Griffin? See, he won't want to kill me. I'm going to deliver him the one thing he wants." Remy stood up, walking forward and crouching in front of Cassie. "I'm going to give him Ansdorff."

"How?" Cassie asked. "Ansdorff isn't here, and there's no way you told him any of this."

"No." Remy laughed. "No, what I did do was take the remote to the tracker they stuck inside Griffin." He held out a small black box. "And I turned it on."

"…so he'll know to come here when Griffin gets here." Cassie realized.

"Yes, sweetheart." Remy stood up, walking over to the table. "And we'll all be ready, won't we?"

"Of course we will." Griffin strolled over to where Remy was standing, having just arrived. "Where're the girls?"

Remy laughed. "They're…around. Why don't you send the boys to find them?"

Nick, having just recovered from the jump, stood up, and, upon seeing Cassie, rushed forward. "Cassie!"

Remy stopped him just by raising his hand, his power pulsing. "Go find your darling girlfriends."

"Not until you give us Cassie." Nick said, attempting to push forward. His actions were in vain.

"Nick…David…go." Cassie said, shaking her head. "Go find Kira and Millie. I'll still be here when you get back." Looking at Cassie, the boys knew she spoke the truth.

"Here." Remy tossed them a set of keys. "Down the hallway."

Both boys fled to find their girlfriends. Remy turned to face Griffin. "So?"

"Where is he?" Griffin asked, arms crossed as he stared Remy down. "Where's Ansdorff?"

"On his way." Remy said. "I still can't believe you agreed to this. Locking up David and Nick down there? Letting me kill Cassie? I thought you liked these people."

Cassie stared in shock as she realized how, exactly, Remy had known where everyone was. It wasn't just that Griffin had been freed by Remy. He'd been helping Remy ever since.

"I don't like anyone." Griffin said, rolling his eyes. "Especially not David and his little girlfriend. All I care about is that Ansdorff dies."

"Which you can do yourself, when he finally arrives." Remy commented, smirking. "It's almost done." Just then there was a knock at the door across the hall. "And…I do believe our final guest has arrived. Shall we?" He gestured at the door, which Griffin went to and yanked open, making sure that he remained out of sight of the person on the other side.

"Remy why-" Ansdorff stopped short when he entered the room and saw the board set up behind where Cassie was seated- a board with a photo of everyone attached to Project Colorblind. Most of the pictures had an X through them, his, Cassie's, and Remy's being the exceptions. Ansdorff turned to say something to Remy and noticed Griffin. "You."

"Me." Griffin smirked, stalking forward, Ansdorff immediately backing up. "Hullo again."

Remy came up behind Ansdorff, laying a hand on his shoulder. "I see you've met my darling friend Griffin."

Ansdorff (belatedly) realized just how he'd been played. Glancing between the two men nervously, he started to understand just why Remy had agreed to work with him. Remy, who was the only member of Project Colorblind who actively proclaimed his hatred for it. Ansdorff opened his mouth to say something and was immediately cut off.

"Now, now." Remy spun him around and seated him in the chair next to Cassie. "Shall we begin?"

"Let's." Griffin smirked, before disappearing.

"Wha-" Before Remy could get a coherent thought out, Griffin was back, this time towing David. David rushed forward to get. Griffin laughed.

"You didn't honestly think you could play me like you played Ansdorff, did you?"

Remy glanced around the room wildly, watching as his plan crumbled around him. Ansdorff still remained paralyzed in the chair- Remy's power keeping him there- but in his shock Remy had accidently released Cassie, who was being helped up by David. "Not what you planned, right? See, I may not like them," Griffin gestured to David and Cassie, "but I also don't especially like you."

Remy glared, before adopting a smirk of his own, striding forward. "Yes, but unlike them, I can kill you in ways you cannot even begin to imagine." He laughed, raising his hand, and a pressure unlike any Griffin had felt before started in his head. "I can crush your brain without even touching you."

"And I can kill you without you even noticing I'd moved." Cassie said from behind him. There was a pause, and then Remy looked down, noticing the blood polling beneath him.

"How-"

"Remy." Cassie stared at him, smiling kindly at him. "You and I both know that's what you wanted. Just like all the others, you wanted what you would never have. Peace. That's why, in the end, it was better that you killed them." She turned towards David. "I'm going to go help Nick with the girls, you get Griffin."

David nodded at her as she left the room. Turning towards Griffin, he stared in shock at Ansdorff looming over him. Both he and Cassie had forgotten that the only thing keeping Ansdorff- and his gun- from killing them all was Remy's power.

Jumping forward, David tackled Ansdorff, moving him away from the semi-conscious Griffin. He then did something he never thought he'd do- something he hadn't even directly done with Roland. He killed him.

Standing up, blood running down one arm, he turned towards Griffin (who was also shakily standing up).

Griffin nodded at him, and produced the first real smile since they'd started in this whole mess.


A/N: And….it's done. Actually I lied. I have an epilogue planned..maybe. Anyways….y'all should thank FireflyCity that I didn't abandon this.

Thank you all.
