The idea that somehow this could be his fault, that somehow it was Peter's fault that Wendy was gone, simultaneously struck him as absurd and completely possible all at the same time. But when he heard Michael accuse him of leaving them in the factory he doubled over as if having been punched. "I never left you." He gagged on the words, holding himself as he looked up at Michael.
"How can you even say that?" Michael screamed, allowing himself to finally feel the anger he had held towards this boy almost his whole life.
"I- I came back for you." Peter whispered, his normally sparkling eyes dull as he stared at some empty spot beyond Michael. "I came back and you three weren't there."
"We were in that dirty building for weeks before the police came." Michael spit out, but before he could move towards the grief stricken Pan, Tiger Lily placed a hand on his shoulder.
"We must work together to retrieve the Wendy Lady." She informed him, her eyes slits as she glared between the two boys. "And we must do it quickly." Letting go of Michael she moved to Peter, and cupped the pale boy's face in her copper hands "Pan." She soothes, "There is no time for weakness. We must rise up and end the evil that has taken Neverland hostage for years."
"There is no Neverland." Peter whispers. Running his hand through a head full of dirty curls, pulling at the roots. "It's all made up. CAN'T YOU SEE SHE MADE IT ALL UP?" He screams and slams those same fists into the wood floor.
"Why would Wendy imagine what happened to Slightly? If this is all so fake why are we still here? Why hasn't all of this evaporated?" Michael growls, but even he has been having a hard discerning between his memories of Neverland and his memories of the dark factory. A factory, that if Neverland exisits, shouldn't be in his memories at all.
"Maybe-" Peter stands up. "We shouldn't be sitting around like this, Sqaw, can you help Slightly heal?"
"What thinks you what I've been doing his whole time." She grumbles as she holds her hands just above some of Slightly's worse injuries.
"Whatever this is, whatever is going on, we sill have to save Wendy." Peter's eyes strayed to Slightly's torn body , and Micheal immediately understood where the older boy's motivation was coming from.
"We can't let that happen to her." Michael let out a strangled sob, and he couldn't help a hand from gripping his shirt tightly.
"Then you should get moving." Tiger Lily growled, crossing her arms across her chest.
Peter nodded solemnly, and looked between the four other people on the room. "To Dead Man's Cove."
