After a few minutes of sitting in their room, they could hear a knocking on their door. Tony sat in the corner hugging his legs. Even though Phil had given them another room, he'd have to find them. And currently they were outside his room. And his heart was shattered. Orji had his arm around him and Alan was blocking the door.

"Tony?" yelled mom.

"Are you okay?" asked dad through the door. Tony shifted uncomfortable. He rubbed his eyes and stood up.

"It's okay. Let them in," he said sounding like a dead man. Alan unlocked the door. His family came rushing in.

"Oh you cleaned up in here a bit," said Megan. Tony could see Alan and Orji biting their lips so they wouldn't say anything to them that would tip them off. Tony couldn't help but let out a death glare.

"Well this is our room," he said coldly. It was fairly roomy. Plenty of space. Three beds, three desks, three dressers, three chairs and three closets. The wall was white and the floor was tile. He looked over at Megan and Lee who were sitting on his bed. Marc just stood alone.

"How have things been Tone? We haven't heard a word from you," Marc said.

"Likewise," Tony replied, laced with spy meanings behind it. He knew that his family was going on with life, that he should be a part of, without him. Alan and Orji walked over.

"Our room isn't big enough to accommodate all of you," said Alan.

"So our principal will be taking you all to another room," finished Orji. With that Phil slid into the room. But he looked nothing like a principal. He had changed the dancing clothes to sixties wear. He even had a fro. Which, if you didn't know the guy, you'd think he was beyond insane.

"Sup disco cats!" he said as he noogied Alan and Orji, "You must be party boy's mom and pops! And sibs! We got a full party tonight!"

He then started dancing. Alan and Orji laughed. Tony let out a smile.

"Mama Lady, Pops of the kid and you two," he said pointing at Megan and Lee, "Follow me to your humble temporary home."

"Wait! What about Marc?" cried Tony. Phil had a devilish grin.

"I'll be back in a flash!" he said taking the rest of the family. The room was silent.

Marc's POV

He had to admit he was jealous of Tony. To have two roommates who seemed to understand him very well, and have no evil plots. Just very annoyed looked to their faces.

"So uh, how did you two end up going to school here?" he asked. He noticed Tony held his breath. Odd. Why is Tony nervous?

"I understand if you don't want to tell me," he quickly added. Orji and Alan looked at each other.

"We don't like talking about our family," said Alan.

"They never show for parent day," said Orji.

"Oh," said Marc. He felt bad bringing it up. He saw a computer with a lyric book. He walked over and looked through it. He then got a very un-Marc idea.

"Karaoke anyone?" he asked. The guys stared at him.

Tony's POV

Okay, who was this guy and what did he do with Marc? He walked over and felt his forehead. Was this the reason Phil left him here? His head wasn't warm.

"Uh T?" he said.

"Are you sure you're really Marc and not some crazy ass robot here to try and kill me and my roommates?"

Tony knew that would bring back some crazy memories. One time when it was just the two of them on a mission, Marc got captured and had to watch a psychopathic robot that looked just like Marc, try to kill him younger brother. He couldn't help but let out a small smile at that awkward memory.

"No Tone, just thought it would give us something to do."

"Well okay then."

"I'm going first!" yelled Alan.

Everyone sat on a bed.

"Everyone who's anyone should know this song!" he pressed play on a cd player.

"Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere!"

Next thing Tony knew, Orji was up next to him and taking the next verse.

"A singer in a smoky room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on."

Tony runs up there with them when they hit the chorus.

"Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night."

He continues on without Alan and Orji for the following verse.

"Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on."

And with that he sees Marc next to him. All of them together. Forgetting the pain.

"Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights people

Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlight people

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights people."

They were all laughing at the end of the song. Tony was finally ready. He felt his heart reopening its doors.

"Kay Marc! Your up," said Tony with a large smile.

"But I'm not good at singing!"

"Your idea," said Orji.

"Sing a song Marc sing a song

Sing a song Marc sing a song

We won't shut up till you sing a song

Sing a song Marc sing a song," sang Alan. They all joined in except Marc.

"Sing a song Marc sing a song

Sing a song Marc sing a song

We won't shut up till you sing a song

Sing a song Marc sing a song!" they sang happily.

"Alright! What do you want me to sing?"

"Anything you want bro," said Tony. They all watched intently. Unaware that Phil was standing right outside their door listening in. He was dressed now as a security guard. Glasses and all.

Marc looked through the songs. Honestly he'd never heard of half of them. So he randomized it. Unaware to everyone at the time, Phil was also rigging the music in there.

"Hope they like 'Soul Brother'."

Music started playing from the cd player. Words came up on it. Tony could see Marc was doing his best.

"God bless my soul here he comes now
The man with the most how does he do it?
Sure he's got style he's so heavy
He's a trip can do anything
Anything anything"

Marc looks into Tony's eyes.

"He's my soul brother."

Tony felt tears build up in his eyes. Marc continued on.

"He's my best friend he's my champion
And he will rock you rock you rock you
'cause he's the saviour of the universe
He can make you keep yourself alive
Make yourself alive
Ooh brother cause he's somebody somebody
He can love
He's my soul brother"

Alan and Orji smiled. Never had they seen Tony this happy when he was doing anything involving family.

"When you're under pressure feeling under pressure
Yeah pressure yeah pressure
He won't let you down
When you're under pressure
Oh feeling under pressure yeah pressure
So he won't let you down
My brother won't let you down
He won't he won't he won't let you down
He can do anything anything anything
He's my soul brother."

Tony saw Alan and Orji stand on either side of Marc.

"Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh soul brother anything (soul brother)
Anything (soul brother) anything (soul brother)
He's my soul brother brother brother brother brother
Anything (soul brother) anything (soul brother) anything
(soul brother)
He's my soul brother

Soul brother he can do anything
He can do anything
'cause he's my soul brother"

Tony smiled.

"Thanks guys," he said. They all then hit the sack. Alan and Orji jumped in their beds. Tony let Marc share the bed. He thought long and hard after everyone else fell asleep. Maybe… Maybe he could tell Marc one day. He seems to actually care.

Okay, I may be a Tony fan but I have some real respect for Marc people. Don't judge me! The first song, if you don't know it, crawl out of the rock you live under, it's Don't stop believing. And the second is Soul Brother by Queen.
