|Third Person POV|

Scourge runs his hands through his quills, he was on his way back to Mobius, as much as dangerous as it was to be on the planet, it was better than being on this space station, but he couldn't help but to think about his twin brother, he just looked like he was in pain, not physically but mentally, if his twin was like him than he'd know that being up in space was nothing like a small prison cell, but with more interaction.

"Hey, Scourge." Scourge blinks and turned his attention to the white bat that was walking up to him. "Sup Rouge?..."

"I need to talk to you..." Rouge stopped in front of the green hedgehog.

"About?"

"Sonic..." She shifts her weight so that she was leaning back on her heels "Maria started asking him, about going back to Mobius yesterday..."

Scourge blinks before looking away, clutching the backpack that was on his shoulders. If Maria was asking Sonic those questions, that might add to that hurtful feeling he had. "What did he say?..."

"Everything he could...say to her, that we aren't going back," Rouge responded, that didn't make him feel any better about this situation, he knows his twin brother feels trapped and hunger for that so called fresh air, not this artificial air that is meant to mimic that of Mobius, but he also can't just let his brother go to another zone, where he could just go to jail over. His attention was snapped back to Rouge. "Shadow said that he had Amy and Blaze with him...when he came to train Maria...but I haven't checked in with them to see how Sonic is doing."

Scourge only lets out a quiet sigh, the last thing that he wanted was to lose his twin brother to something that neither he nor anyone else could, so he really couldn't blame Shadow for not wanting to leave the blue blur alone with just a baby and a Chao, "You're concerned about him?"

"Aren't you and don't hide it, I know how much you care about your family...Scourge, Hell you even care about Tails," Rouge hissed, Scourge can tell that the fruit bat was concerned, Hell she sounded as if she was about to cry at any minute, but just held it in cause she didn't want to seem weak.

"I never said I didn't..." Scourge growled back before he lets out a shaken breath. "I don't know what you want me to do...cause Mobius isn't a place like it used to me, anymore...and Hell the Mobians and People we bring back...are traumatized as if it was World War One."

"I know...I just, I'm at a loss here, thinking about it...I just feel like Sonic is just..."

"Don't you fucking say it!"

"Scourge you know it will happen...you can just see it in his eyes...and I don't think a therapist can even help him at this point."

"I think Blaze is a better person for that job anyways...but I know the look on her face even shows it..." Scourge lets out another sigh before looking back at Rouge, "You should talk to Amy and Blaze next...or stop by the apartment, he's staying in I know my brother wouldn't hide something...but I think it's just the feeling of being stuck in one place." He turns around to get into the transporter, "This place is nothing like a prison to him."

Rouge's eyes shifted she really hadn't put that into thought, but there really isn't a place where they could repopulate, she would know Aleena and Jules check every week and always come back either exhausted or bruised.

"Look Rouge, I can't look after him... 'cause Gadget needs me back on Mobius," Scourge admits he just shakes his head.

"I know..." Rouge just turns to leave, "I just thought you should know..." she added before she started to walk away from the area.

Scourge gritted his teeth, "Damnit..." he mutters to himself before using his speed to help him get to the room that Sonic lives in, if he didn't check on his twin brother, he'll just feel regretful all day, he just knocks on the door. The metal door slid open, and standing in the doorway was a pink hedgehog, holding Shadic in her arms, who looked at Scourge. "Are you worried about Sonic?"

"Rouge told me...What Shads told her..." Scourge admits, that he just rubs Shadic's chin who only purred softly with a smile on his muzzle.

"I have Blaze...giving him a session of Therapy..." Amy admits as she moves out of the way to let Scourge into the room. "I can see why Shadow was worried...besides the baby proofing the apartment...Shadow also hid a lot of the objects that Sonic could use to harm himself..."

Scourge just pins his ears down to his head after hearing that, from Amy, he was just concerned about his brother. Sure they may joke around, and fight with each other but he really cares about Sonic and wants nothing more than to see him be happy, instead of a mess that was full of thoughts, he kind of felt like crying, this wasn't like Sonic to be this way.

"Scourge?..." Amy called out to the green hedgehog, snapping him out of his thoughts, he looks down at Amy before letting out a sigh. "Sorry...Amy, I just hate to think Sonic would be like this...he's the most hopeful person I know, and hearing this..."

"I know...I kind of want the old him back...that hedgehog who was nothing but smiles, and so full of hope..." Amy admits just putting Shadic down, who only held onto her Jean shorts whimpering softly.

"But I trust you...I know you can at least get him back to his feet."

Sonic's ears pinned to his head, he had Jazz in his arms who only flinches when she felt some tears falling from the blue hedgehog's face, hearing Amy's and his twin brother's words about him not being like himself when they were on Mobius, maybe him upset. He was doing his best with keeping up with his old self, but this was hard, he just misses being on Mobius, missed seeing the different animals, running with Maria through the different zones, and hanging out in the garden with the Chaos. Mobius was so alive until Eggman took over, and now it was nothing but a hopeless wasteland, and Sonic couldn't do anything about it. He closes his eyes looking off to the side, he told Blaze how he felt but no matter the support he was given, it wasn't enough to help bring back that free spirit he head. His ear twitches the metal door closed Scourge must have left after the heart-to-heart conversation with Amy. Something that he never thought he'd hear from his twin brother.

"Mama?" Sonic snapped out of his thoughts and looked down at his son who was looking up at him, he had a concerned look on his face.

"Sonic?... How long have you been standing there?"

Sonic didn't say anything but he knew his friends, and family were worried to as hell about him. "Not that long...but I heard everything."

"Oh...Sonic I didn't mean it like that."

"I know what you meant...Amy, and I'm trying to be that person again...really I am..." The blue hedgehog only smiles though it was more of a force he doesn't know what's wrong with him, one moment he's happy the next he just feels like absolute miserable and just wanted to end everything, going to that race track in the clouds, but he'd hurt so many mobians, his friends and family.

"Sonic?..." Amy called out she can clearly see that Sonic was forcing himself to smile she knows something was wrong with him, and she wanted to help him the best way she could but she just didn't know how all she wanted to do for him was to make him feel happy.

"I..." Sonic started before the inhibitor rings on his wrists started to glow a bright gray color. "I just don't know anymore..." he randomly. Blaze turned the corner pulling Amy aside too only to protect her, who also grabbed Shadic, after all, she was there when Tikal gave the warning about Sonic's dark form coming back. Blaze wasn't able to grab Sonic before the blue hedgehog was already gone in a flash, making Amy hug Shadic close who had just started to sob into her, he was still too young to understand but he knew that Sonic was hurting.

"B-Blaze..." Amy called out to her wife as if she wasn't trying to cry herself.

"I don't know...All I can say is that this is his battle...Amy, and I think he knows that." Blaze tells Amy.

Shadic sniffs before his eyes shifted into a red, and Amy felt the weight in her arms lighten and she lets out a gasp.

"Shadic..." She called out, Blaze only narrowed her eyes. He must've Chaos Controlled to wherever Sonic ran off too, she just closes her eyes. "Tell Shadow...I know Sonic wouldn't hurt Shaundre...but his husband has the right to know..."

"And Y-You?" Amy sniffs

"I'm going to inform the others...hopefully Scourge hadn't left yet..." Blaze said wiping the tears around from Amy's face with her thumb giving the pink hedgehog a warm smile "We'll find them...I promise."

Amy only sniffs and nodded hugging her wife and starting to cry softly, she just didn't want to lose Sonic, not because he was a friend. No, but because he had always been that brother she could rely on when she needed help, and the thought of losing him scared her more than anything.

Blaze hugged Amy back, she had a few tears in her eyes as well, she cared about Sonic just not in a relationship kind of way but in a best friend kind of way, she just pets Amy's quills.
