Unlucky number 13 bitches whose gunna die this chapter I'm kidding what is this The Darkness Beneath?

Even though Matt barely talked to his brother, he could see that something was wrong. He barely spoke to Alfred anymore and he tried to avoid human contact as much as possible. It wasn't until two weeks later, that Matt approached him, however, since he didn't think Allen would trust him.
"You feeling okay?" He asked as he sat down next to Allen on the front steps of the dorms.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Why?"
"You've just been acting different and I was worried."
Allen threw his head back, laughing like he hadn't been moping around for the past two weeks. "Awww my little Mattie worries about me!"
"Don't call me that! And I'm not that worried! I just don't want you acting like such a baby all the time."
"It's okay to have emotions Matt."
"Not when you're almost twenty."
Allen shrugged. "It's just school stress. Speaking of which...how are your grades?"
"What are you? Dad?"
"Nah. If I were dad I'd have my belt ready and then I'd plan on locking you in the basement if you gave the wrong answer." Allen's expression turned dark. "I just don't want to see you fail. You can do really good things if you try."
"I've been passing everything so far. Everyone thinks I'm a murderer so I've tried not to leave my room."
"I don't think you did it. I think you were framed."
"By who?"
Allen shrugged. "Dunno."
The two sat in silence for the next few minutes, watching seagulls walk around on the quad.
"Hey Matt,"
"Yeah?"
"Are we the bad guys?"
"What?"
"Are we the evil ones?"
Matt looked at his brother quizzically. "I mean...Luciano throws knives at people, and Oliver is a cannibal...and Xiao deals drugs...Kuro does a lot of creepy shit...I dunno, Allen. Maybe we are."
"I mean all together. I don't mean compared to them and I don't mean individually..."
"Well...no. We're not. I'm sure there are some evil people in this world and I'm sure there are evil people in ours, but we didn't ask to get sucked into their world. If anything, they're the bad guys for causing the nuclear explosion that started this whole mess."
"I miss home." Allen whispered softly. "I miss our house and the alley cat that hisses at people who pass...and the park where you beat up those older kids...and that Indian place with the vegan menu that I like...I don't want to be here anymore."
"Allen..." Matt sighed. "You really want to go back to that place? In that shitty neighbourhood where you couldn't go outside at night and the house with the heating we couldn't afford and a mother who-"
"Mom died a few months ago."
"What?"
"Before we switched over...I told her that she needed help...I threatened to send her to rehab...we fought and I stormed out...stayed the night with Flavio...and when I got back..." Allen wiped at his eyes, at the tears flowing freely. Matt swallowed, not knowing what to say.
"She overdosed. I tried to contact you but..."
"And you were living alone? That whole time?"
"What else was I supposed to do?"
"I don't know..." Matt put his hand on his brother's shoulder. "But when we get back...I'll stay with you. I'll find a job somewhere and we'll stay together, okay?"
Allen leaned over and pulled Matt into a tight hug, which he returned reluctantly.
"Yeah." Allen whispered, voice filled with tears, "thank you."
