Writer's ramblings: this came to me after the episode where they go into Rip's head. So in my head Lisa wants to try and find and save Len after the Occulus and they find him but he is in a coma and they have to go into his head to find him. What they find is him reliving his memories.
The Legends all fell to the floor as they entered Len's mind. Once they all checked they were ok they looked around the room. They were in a small house, with children's toys scattered about the place along with beer bottles. They can all clearly see into the kitchen where Len, the Len they remember is standing, stock still.
"Where are we?" Jax asks
"We are in mine and Lenny's childhood house" Lisa says as she slowly moves towards her brother. She looks into the kitchen and takes in the scene in front of her.
Little Len is kneeling up on a chair, he has a black eye, watching his mum chop veggies. She is humming a tune.
Len has been stone cold and still from the moment they arrived but as soon as he sees Lisa he starts pulling her back towards the Legends and standing in front of her so she can't see.
"Len what's wrong, it's mum she was the nice parent remember" Lisa is looking at her mum smiling. Len grabs her by the shoulders trying to move her so she can't see the memory. When she doesn't move he turns to the Legends for the first time and they see fear in his eyes. Mick immediately steps forward and blocks Lisa's view. "Come on Lis if Len doesn't want you to see something he has a good reason" Lisa takes a step back and looks at her two brothers.
"My god!" Stein exclaims, all 3 turn to look at him and the Legends are stood horror on their faces, Lisa and Mick both turn around, Len looks at the floor.
Their mum is standing over her little boy with a knife.
There's a sudden sound of a door opening and closing, Lewis comes through to the kitchen "hello everyone how are we- Ameila what are you doing!"
Amelia turns her anger towards Lewis, she puts the knife down and starts hitting him. Little Len runs to his dad and stands behind his leg sobbing. Amelia swings her fist and smirks as something cracks, she glances down at Len as Lewis grips his bleeding nose.
"Son go upstairs" Lewis says, but Leonard doesn't move he just stares at the floor.
"Go to your room!" Amelia shouts, both little Len and adult Len flinch at her tone. He moves this time, slowly as though he is scared to leave his parents alone. The Legends glance at Len as the scene follows the little boy up the stairs to his room, as soon as his little hands lock the door the shouting and screaming starts. Little Len gets on the bed and tucks himself in, grabbing a teddy bear, using it to muffle his sobs. The scene and people disappear leaving everyone staring at Len and Lisa. Len is staring at the empty space, Lisa is staring at Len tears streaming down her face.
"Len tell me that's not true" Lisa's voice is barely above a whisper, Len slowly turns to look at her.
"I didn't want you to know" Len says just as quietly.
"Know what that our mum beat you and dad!" Lisa yells, Len looks at the floor again.
"Amelia used to beat Lewis and me, when she died Lewis turned his anger to me and you. He took over her role" Lisa just stared at Len tears streaming down her face.
"You're saying that Lewis was the victim of domestic abuse?" Ray asked, the rest of the team gave him looks for talking
"He was a victim of domestic abuse but that never gave him the right to then beat Lisa and me" Len replied never taking his eyes off of his sister.
"No of course not" Ray said looking sheepish.
"I never knew that mum..." Lisa says, "all these years I have idealised her. I loved her. You always told me she was amazing and every time Lewis said otherwise you would defend her"
"That's what I wanted for you. I wanted you to have a perfect mother"
"But she's not perfect, she's a monster!" Lisa shouts, Len took a step back almost like Lisa had hit him.
"She wasn't a monster Lis, don't think that of her" Len sounds tired and defeated as if there is no energy left in him. Lisa furiously wipes at the tears that refuse to stop, she looks at her brother and takes a few tentative steps before wrapping her arms around him.
"I'm sorry she did that to you Len" Lisa's words seem to deflate Len, his shoulders sag and he leans into her his own tears falling freely now. Mick steps toward the two of them and wraps his arms around them both, holding them close.
The Legends just stand and watch as the little, small and broken family unit in front of them do their best to put themselves together again.
Writer's ramblings: I am so sorry for the horrific spelling! I uploaded this ages ago and obviously didn't spell check at all! So embarrassed! All spellings should be fixed now, it should now make more sense!
