Virgil is a space ecologist who finds an abandoned egg on a planet ravaged by over-mining. The egg is of a snake-like species that can incorporate the DNA of other organisms into their own genome.
The egg hatches, the baby snake-alien bites Virgil and suddenly Virgil has a half-human half-snake-alien son (Janus, obvi)
(The snake-alien species isn’t really sentient by themselves, but it’s not uncommon for them to become sentient by incorporating the DNA of a sentient species. They can only make major changes like that in their fledgling stage, but later in his life Janus could make smaller changes like developing venom, or bioluminescence)
Logan is a small helper-robot (I’m thinking that little Brainiac from Superman’s fantasy in JLU). Patton is a puffball-puppy-alien that Virgil keeps as a pet. Roman and Remus are small dragon-rat-aliens that are technically pests that are infesting his ship, but since they don’t actually mess with the systems or anything, Virgil likes keeping them around.

Echoes of the Past - Day 9
Prompt:  “Stories may well be lies, but they are good lies that say true things, and which can sometimes pay the rent.”
CW: None that I know of.
Virgil slowly closed the bedroom door, leaning against it after it was latched. He didn't like lying, but telling stories wasn't a lie, right? Telling Remus stories about friends who were separated for a long time but were able to get back together, encouraging him that goodbye wasn't forever, that was okay, right? He let out a slow shaky breath, running his hand through his hair. It had to be okay, he needed it to be okay, because what else could he do? Remus was missing someone who wasn't coming back, and Virgil wanted to give him hope, even if it was false.
He looked down the hallway at the yellow door, and then at the at his own purple one, the color fading. He had been struggling, taking on the role of protector. He wasn't meant for this, but he had been born in the darkness, and he had been the first. He was the oldest and it was his responsibility to take care of the others, even if he wasn't prepared for that. 
Janus was born second, a shy curious protector, but Virgil couldn't ask him to be the guardian, the parent, he was just a kid. So, Virgil had taken on a role he wasn't meant for. Remus came next, lost and wandering down the hallway. He was looking for Roman, and Virgil knew where Roman was but he wasn't allowed to go there. He wasn't supposed to go see the others. It made him so angry, that the others would just abandon a new side, and Virgil vowed to protect Remus. However, it also made him tired. 
He wasn't sure he could handle it all.
"V?" Janus walked out of his door, making his way towards Virgil.
"Hey snake, why aren't you in bed?"
"I heard you out here," He said quietly, walking over and pulling Virgil down to make him sit. Then he sat himself in Virgil's lap. "Let me tell you a story this time."
"Alright, let me know what you got."
"Once upon a time there were two children wandering through the forest. They were lost and didn't know where they were headed. They walked around until they were found by a wizard. He was rude and grumpy, but he always took care of the children, and though the children grew up in the forest, they were happy, and they hoped to bring the wizard a bit of happiness too."
Virgil pulled Janus in tighter, resting his head on top of Janus'. "Yeah, I think the wizard is happy too. I'm sure if the kids treated him well he is very happy."
"It doesn't matter, it was just a story." 
Virgil smiled, "Well you are very good at telling stories." He responded, doing his best to stand up while still holding Janus. "But I think it's time for you to go to bed."
"Rude," Janus said softly, wrapping his little arms around Virgil's neck. "I don't wanna go to bed."
"I know I know, but little sides need their rest." Virgil was doing the best he could, and if Janus and Remus were still happy then it was at least working in part. 
"Will you still be here when we wake up in the morning." That gave Virgil pause as he looked over at the purple door, slightly faded in color. The longer he stared the brighter it got until he felt safe looking back to Janus.
"Yeah squirt, I'll still be here when you wake up in the morning." He promised, opening up Janus' door and tucking him into bed. "And if you have a nightmare you know where to find me."
Janus nodded, curling up into the covers. "I won't," He said that, but Virgil and Janus both knew it was a lie. Janus was prone to nightmares and would probably find himself curled up in Virgil's bed later in the night. That was fine, because Virgil was there to support them.
He walked back out of the room, looking at his own door, now a stronger purple than it had been just a few minutes ago.
He was here to protect Remus and Janus, he was here to help them, and he wasn't going anywhere. Not while he still had any say in the matter.

DC x DP Idea Thing #3
Voluntary Admissions AU
What if Danny voluntarily Admitted himself to Arkham Asylum as a patient?
"Patient #10304-M, also known as, for his safety and security, Janus D. Astrophel. Voluntarily Admitted himself to Arkham Asylum on [date is scratched off with a thick, green ink], having arrived in a rather critical and vulnerable position, both physical and mental."
Rumors often spread quickly in Arkham. After all, not much better things to do when you're locked up and deemed either crazy, dangerous or even both in the eyes of Gotham. So it wasn't a surprise when news spread like wildfire amongst inmates and patients inside those dreadful halls.
A new addition had joined the ranks of the madhouse. Voluntarily at that. Likely the youngest patient to roam these halls for a non-Gothamite at least. After all, no native Gothamite would willingly put themselves in such hell.
The newbie went by Janus Astrophel. Kid seemed anything but normal. Seemed like he'd fit in well with Gotham's brand of sickness after a bit. Then again, kid looks as fragile as a twig. Almost as skinny as Crane, creepy as him too. Gives off Freeze vibes though, oddly enough, with hints of Dent.
[Those types of comments were quickly picked up by the aforementioned rogues. Rather than start a scene, they took interest immediately after hearing more words of the newcomer.]
Astrophel's a meta, just from the collar he adorns on his neck. Seemed modified as well. Didn't look like the standard ones the super-powered rogues commonly wore. Nobody knew what power he had. Seemed like it helped him more than anything though.
[Some inmates recalled when Astrophel first arrived. Didn't have a collar the first day. Kid could barely stand and was bleeding profusely. Next day, kid looked better, wearing the collar everyone associates with him now. Some think it's like Freeze's suit in a way. No one said a word bout it after receiving a cold glare]
Thing was, it ain't just the collar or how sickly he seemed that caught people's eyes.
Scars. Kid's littered with them. Some managed to glimpse a multitude of what looks like surgery scars [vivisected was often echoed, especially from Quinn and Nygma], and others looked like he was zapped by lightning [Litchenberg Scars around the chest specifically]. Kid even wore some stitches where his joints were [Frankenstein was an insult for a brief moment before Dent flipped a coin and shit them up]. Some would've mistaken him for some sort of zombie, like Grundy, had it not been for the fact people had seen him breathe and bleed... Albeit, it was a toxic green rather than crimson red.
Rather discerning as it held a resemblance to certain Demon Head's waters...
Kid didn't talk much. He was polite and friendly, sure. Some of the rogues took a shine to him. He seemed scared, though, not that anybody blamed him. Arkham was filled with rogues who earned their titles and infamy for a reason. But he wasn't scared of others... No. Crane said the kid held a certain look of fear...
Astrophel was afraid of himself... Everyone can't help but wonder why.
[They later see a glimpse as to why after he saw Joker for the first time. Least to say, Quinn called dibs even though others would like to say otherwise]

Janus and Logan love to tease and make fun of each other. They're really close and know they're both joking.
One day, Janus teasingly treats Logan as a child, but the soft speaking voice and the words he says causes Logan to regress . And now Janus has an actual child Logan to take care of.

Parenting is hard.
Virgil is the oldest of all the sides nobody knows this not even patton who is considered the oldest of the whole group
Everyone has emotions that develop over time a baby usually starts off with fear or happiness they can come out crying or laughing
Thomas was always told he was a happy baby by his parents so he never questioned who the oldest was “well it has to be Patton he has a lot of my happier emotions then Logan because after the split it would make Roman and Remus younger then Janus would be a bit older then the twins right?”
Virgil always thought it was fine because he was younger bodily than everyone else he was created from the very beginning of Thomases journey in the Void of his mind aimlessly walking around sides can’t be baby’s so he was around the age of 7 it was just him and Thomas for about three minutes then…
“Wow he is so cute!” A blond boy with freckles and dirty blond hair showed off his soft baby blue eyes full of hope. “Hi my name is Emotion but you can call me Happy!” He stuck his hand out to the fear filled boy.
Fear looked at the hand and shook it the world became a lot more busy after that Brain and Creativity joined in just a few months after Thomas learned his first word.
A house appeared once Thomas became the age of 4 looking exactly like his childhood home Fear and the others grew a lot slower than regular since they need to be a bit more mature than that of the host and since Fear is the oldest he was in charge of very emotional kids.
Fear worked the house, taught Happy cooking and cleaning skills, helped Smarts with homework and even got him a book of astrology noticing how he would go back on Thomas’s memories of the night sky. Lier looked up to Fear as a father figure and loved playing with Creativity Fear had to warn them when there games would get to morbid though!
Above all Things were going good in the house.
“FEAR! Help!”
Fear leaped out of his normal looking room into the living room and seeing Lier on the ground near Creativity who is pale and passed out.
“What happened?” He rushed to his kid and kneeled.
“I Know what happened, we were just p-playing a game! And he gave Thomas an idea but he got yelled at by his mom? And then this happened!” Lier is a bit better than his future counterpart because he can control a bit when he talks.
Thomas is at the age of good and evil; the result ends up with Fear witnessing his kiddo splitting into two different people.
“Fear what just happened?” Happy came in at the wrong time.
Fear looked up and said in a soft shaking voice “nothing go back to sleep ok kiddo?” Happy did as told, tearing up for the first time ever and Fear looked back at Lier who was trembling his yellow scales shimmering from the tv screen.
“Man that fucking hurt!” Dark Creativity woke up then Light Creativity woke up to “don’t say that!”
Fear now had a lot on his hands working with five children. Happy was well… different. He took on cooking more than usual as Fear worked on helping Dark Creativity with his mental health Smarts and Happy got glasses after coming to Fear one day when Thomas was 10 saying there eyes hurt and Light Creativity has always wanted to be a prince.
Lier grew to be more of a problem he started to lie a lot in sentences and make it a issue for people to trust him Fear and Dark Creativity quickly picked up on the issue and learned the way he spoke quickly so misunderstandings can be quelled before they started.
More and more rooms opened around the mindscape and the twins claimed it was the appropriate name of the place they live!
Thomas walked down the corridors of school and there he was his first crush. That's when his mind changed and everyone upgraded.
Lier became Deceit Happy became Morality Dark to Intrusive Light to Creativity Smarts to Logic and finally Fear to Anxiety all in one month.
Things changed Deceit couldn’t change the way he talked making Creativity to lash out one day and cut Deceits scaled cheek making Intrusive mad and lash out Logic said they should be separated and Morality didn’t want that they just needed to talk it out!
This caused a issue as Anxiety tried to help them where he could but Intrusive made a side comment one day during movie night that impacted Logic “didn’t you know Logic works best not showing emotions they get in the way! Like a cock block!” Making the Logical side to become stoic and unfeeling. Making Morality more emotional. Affecting everyone else.
In the end it was Thomas that changed the mindscape forcing the place to split apart at the age of 14 so much fighting occurred it caused Anxiety to go into his first panic attack and he would never forgive himself for separating his family at the cost of Thomas.
At that moment the ground shook and everyone stopped talking seeing the oldest break shadows around the whole mindscape with his power “STOP FIGHTING!” In a flash there was a dark version of the house they live in and Deceit and Intrusive was put in there by Thomas’s mind.
Anxiety was wiped from everyone’s mind the medicine that his doctor was giving him worked and he was able to get rid of the bad panic attacks causing Anxiety to wake up in the dark side mind palace seeing this broke his heart because his only family sees him as a weak useless side.
He found it interesting that the sides all remembers things that he taught them Janus was good and calming people down and thinking things threw he was always level headed while he wondered where he went wrong with Remus he spoke his mind and most of the time made Virgil uncomfortable he loved Remus’s Dream scape a world under the stairs it made Virgil sad and happy knowing they still have a piece of each other with them.
The house in the dark side was very bad broken unsound and unclean barely any food and he was stuck with the two he never taught to cook and if he started to act like he did they might get suspicious so he stuck with whatever could pass as mildly cooked or over and avoid the kitchen when Remus tried to cook.
The only thing that made him more sad was when there was movie nights it started back up in the dark side when he woke up they sat together on the broken couch and watched some show that Thomas seen.
“Do you guys ever miss the light sides?” Virgil asked softly. Remus sitting upside down on the armrest eating a deodorant with hair in it looked up “why would we miss them? There was as wet as a dog going down an alleyway just for some gang to come up and take his legs off and leave it there for mice and rats-“ deceit interrupted “Absolutely not why would I ever?”
When Virgil met Thomas for the first time he was surprised and confused he reacted quickly making himself as intimidating as possible bringing in his dad anger also as he snapped at Thomas while also hating himself but knowing it was for the best

King and the Kids
A short story about the Sanders Sides Feedback is encouraged and welcome. Hope you Enjoy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
A baby cried in the other room. Kingsley looked into the basket. Not seeing anything else.
“Now where’d you come from, small one?” He picked up the child. A piece of paper fell out from the blanket. “What’s this?” He picked it up. “Morality.”
The baby laughed and grabbed Kingsley’s hand.
“We are going to have so much fun.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Patton, you rascal.” Kingsley huffed playfully, while chasing the toddler.
“Peek-a-boo.” Patton laughed while running from the other. “Boo” He ran into the other room.
“You need to hold still. You can’t run around the house, you might fall and get hurt.”
Patton just laughed and ran off again.
Twenty minutes later Patton finally had a sippy cup of juice laying down next to the tired adult.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Look what I did King!” Patton shouted running into the kitchen. He handed the older one a piece of paper.
“That’s so pretty.” Kingsley took the paper and put it on the fridge next to several others.
“This one is a dog park with all kinds of dogs and puppies.” Patton beamed proud of himself.
“That’s amazing. Would you like to help finish dinner?” He asked the six year old.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kingsley woke up to the eight year old next to his bed. “Nightmare Patton?” He asked the child.
“No,” Patton had a bundle of blankets in his arms. “It’s a baby.”
“A what?” He sat up and carefully grabbed the bundle from his son's arms.
“This was with it.” Patton pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket. “Where did he come from?”
“I’m not entirely sure. You remember the story when I found you?” Kingsley asked. Patton nodded. “It’s the same thing.” He unfolded the paper. “Logic.”
Looking at the sleeping child he smiled. “Go back to sleep, Patton. I’ll help the baby. You can help tomorrow.”
“Okay King.” Patton walked out of the adult’s room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Logan!” Patton whined. “Give me back my glasses.”
“No!”
“Done with schoolwork?” Kingsley asked Patton, walking in to see what the commotion was.
“No. Logan keeps grabbing my glasses and books.” The ten year old grabbed his glasses back, making the other cry.
“Why don’t we give him his own then?” Kingsley went back into his room, only to come out a moment later with a children’s book and a smaller pair of glasses identical to Patton’s.
“We have the same glasses!” Patton exclaimed.
“bwooks!” The two year old reached his hands out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
“Logan. What are you working on?”
“Puzzles.” The six year old stated.
“Can I join you? That sounds fun!” King sat next to the child.
“Yeah, I’m almost done with it anyway.”
The two sat for the next thirty minutes focused on the task until a shout was heard from the kitchen.
“Cookies are done!” Patton dusted the flour off his shirt. He went to find the others.
“Oh, a puzzle. Can I join?” Patton walked into Logan’s room. “This looks fun.”
“No, Patton wait-” A box with puzzle pieces tipped over. Logan stared at the mess, tears coming to his eyes.
“I’m sorry Logan.” All three of them started picking up the pieces.
“Accidents happen.” Kingsley told them.
“I do want to taste some of your cookies Patton.”
The 14 year old jumped up, careful not to spill anything again. “I made some just for you King. And some just for Logan.”
“Logan, come join us?” The adult asked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Logan was eight and Patton sixteen when another child got added to their small family.
Crying could be heard throughout the house.
“Another baby!” Patton ran around trying to figure out where it was coming from. Logan found him first.
“Self-preservation.” Logan carefully held the bundle in his arms. “That’s what the paper said.”
Kingsley sat in the rocking chair after taking him from Logan. Patton was by his side cooing at the small one. They both tried to stop the crying.
“I’m not as young as I used to be.” He turned to Patton. “You children are growing up fast and now we have another baby to take care of.”
“I’ll help you.” Patton whispered. They both watched as the baby’s eyes began to close and his crying slowed.
“I know, you and Logan both will. You both are very different, but everyone has their own talents.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
“Janus! You come back here!” Patton chased the toddler. Logan and Kingsley watched from the couch.
“No!” The child shouted. The adult laughed.
“What’s funny?” Logan asked him.
“I did this same thing with Patton.” He said fondly. “And now he’s the eighteen year old chasing the two year old around. And you're ten?”
“Yup!” Logan beamed.
King smiled. “When did you get so old?”
Almost an hour later with both Patton, Logan and King chasing the toddler they finally got him to sit down. They made dinner while he drank juice from his sippy cup.
“Will you boys make sure Janus gets in bed tonight? Especially you Patton. I'm going to bed early.”
“Of course.” They responded simultaneously.
“Thank you.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
“Look what I caught!” Janus ran to Patton. The 22 year old shrieked.
“Snake?! Janus, those don’t belong in the house.” Patton told him.
Janus laughed. “Can I keep it?” He asked.
“You have to ask King.” Patton went back to what he was doing as the six year old ran off.
Logan was with Kingsley.
“Hey King?” Janus whispered as he slowly opened the bedroom door.
“He’s asleep,” The 14 year old whispered back. “What did you need?”
“Hey Janus.” King slowly opened his eyes. “How’s my little snake doing huh?”
“I finally caught one today.” Janus held up his hands for the adult to see.
“I’m proud of you. Set up a vivarium. I’m sure Logan would love to help you.” He smiled at his two youngest.
“Okay King. We’ll let you sleep more.” Logan took the younger’s hand and they left the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``
“Is he going to get better?” Janus asked Patton. They were sitting on the couch while Logan was in his room.
“King is a champion. Of course he is. He’s just getting older.” Patton responded. “We can go see him if you’d like.”
“I’d rather not.” The 8 year old whispered. “Is that bad?”
“Of course not. This is a scary time for all of us.”
“Is that why Logan’s always in his room?”
“He has his own ways of expressing his concerns.” Patton hugged the younger.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Four years have passed. Patton, Logan and Janus kept growing more and more worried as King’s condition seemed to worsen. The once close family was falling apart as their parental figure was getting worse with each passing year. And their house was slowly changing without any of them realizing it.
“I’m trying, King. I really am. I’m just not sure what I’m doing wrong.” Patton told him, despite the other being no longer able to respond. “Janus is almost a teenager now and I feel like we’re all drifting apart. Logan stays in his room all the time. I don’t know what to do without you.”
King was in an unconscious state. The 28 year old laid his head on the bed. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
“You lied to me!” Janus stormed off when Patton told him the sad news. Logan walked out of his room hearing the commotion.
“I was trying to protect you.” Patton answered back.
“Protect me from what!” Janus stormed off.
“I thought it was the right thing to do.” Patton mumbled.
“Can you keep the noise down? I’m trying to study.” Logan said, turning and quickly going back into his room.
“We all have our own ways of coping.” Patton mumbled to himself walking into the kitchen. He pulled the ingredients knowing the recipe by heart.
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Several weeks had passed. Patton and Logan were getting along, understanding that none of them could change what had happened. They were slowly spending more time together. Janus was drifting farther apart and everytime Patton tried to help he was met with resentment. Janus was angry and bitter towards Patton. ‘It’s his way of coping’ Patton would remind himself. 'He'll get over it'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
A cry woke Patton. ‘Another baby? It’s been a long time.’ He got up and walked into the room. Logan had a baby in his arms.
“Creativities.” He simply stated. “That’s what the paper said.”
“Oh,” Patton walked towards Logan and the baby. “What does that mean?”
“There were two babies. Janus took the other one. He almost took both.”
“Two babies? Why does Janus have one? What does he want?”
Janus had built his own place far away from Patton and Logan. The oldest realized Janus was better off being by himself and just let him be. They hardly spoke to the other.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
“Roman! Don’t go over there!” Patton stopped the 4 year old from entering into the forest
“Why?” Roman asked.
“It’s dark, you don’t know what could be over there.” Patton told him. Roman turned towards the grassy field giving one last look behind him before skipping away.
“Logan,” Patton turned toward the other. “What am I going to do?”
“About?” Logan briefly looked up from his book.
“Roman’s getting more and more curious. What if he learns about the others?” Patton whispered the last part. “I just don’t want what happened to Janus happening over again. I miss him.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
“Remus!” Janus yelled across the house. “What do you have!”
“A knife!” The eight year old laughed while running away.
“No!” Janus ran after him. “What did I say about knives?”
Remus pouted, having finally been caught. “Only throwing, no running.”
“Only throwing in the designated throwing room. You’ll totally slice someone’s head off, and I’d rather it not be mine.”
“It’s boooring!” Remus whined. “Everything’s already chopped up and then some.”
“I know you need to expand your creative outlook. How about I create you a room specifically for beating things up, or go into the forest.”
“You’ll let me in the forest! There’s so many small animals.” Remus hopped up and down.
“You need to get rid of some of the energy anyway. Let’s go.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Two years later Janus got more concerned as Patton and Logan got more and more control over the imagination, no doubt with the help of Remus’ twin. Janus and Remus stayed back in their corner, Janus still bitter with Patton from all those years ago and Remus having been told the stories.
Roman started exploring more of the forest, much to the dismay and eventual approval of Patton. “As long as you stay around the edge and don’t go in the middle.”
Remus loved exploring the darkest part of the forest with all the creepiness, Janus keeping a watchful eye of both his child and the others. Always avoiding.
“Patton!” Roman rushed to the other. Patton was making cookies and brushed the flour from his hands. “I heard a villain in the forest.” Logan paused his reading from the couch to listen in. “He was laughing like the bad guys do in the movies!”
Logan and Patton shared a quick glance. “Are you sure it wasn’t your imagination kiddo? I know it tends to run a bit wild when you’re playing.” Roman thought for a moment.
“Maybe it was just an animal or something.” Roman said eventually. “Or a monster!” His eyes widened.
“Well, I’ll be the cookie monster if you don’t come eat my cookies.” Patton put the cookies on the table along with a cup of milk.
Later that night Patton woke up to what he thought was crying. After a minute of not hearing anything he closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
Janus smiled and looked at the small baby in his arms. ‘Anxiety’ the note read. Janus walked back to his place of living and sat down. “Goes good with self preservation don’t you think Remus?”
“A baby?” Remus sleepily stood next to Janus.
“We’ll raise him like I raised you.”
