amidst chaos ⋟ jjk

SUMMARY; you shouldnt harbor these feelings not amidst chaos.

pairing; jeon jungkook x reader

genre; love at first sight! zombie apocalypse!au

warnings; just two idiots in love. slight against. angst. mention of blood, bruises and death. just too much fluff i think or cliche. lower case intended.

word count; 700+

notes; another repost from my old account!! my second published baby. im pretty proud about this you could say. feedback and reblogs mean so much to me, please dont be shy to. enjoy <3

your eyes drift to the handsome looking man, a few scratches adorning his face and blood leaking from his nose, a gasp leaves your mouth as you turn back to the other who hit him, eyebrows furrowed in anger "fuck- jay, i know we cant trust him yet but you cannot give him a bleeding nose, idiot” you cuss, smacking the red head on his nape as he hisses and steps back without a word.

when your eyes meet the male again, you find yourself breathless. gold shadows the corner of your vision, and jungkook finds the surrounding mute, only your eyes and voice echoing throughout. you look away, clearing your throat, and speaking up "why are you here?” voice cautious as the man replies, "i'm Jungkook, and i was hoping you had some space for another person?" he asks, voice saccharine sweet, and you inspect him, eyes wandering over him as he rolls up his sleeves and bares his neck to show that he’s void of any bites and that he’s not infected. you nod and introduce yourself "i'm _____, i run this group".

jungkook perks up at your name, he has seen you in class often, you were always within your book and the fact that you're running a group in this apocalypse amuses him, and he can't help but like you even more.

he lends his hand out, a boyish smile playing on his lips. You look up at him, hesitantly shaking his hands, and then your eyes glare at Jay, daring, and he clears his throat. "uh, i'm sorry" he mumbles before stepping backwards, his girlfriend tilting her head as she introduces herself "i'm lily, welcome" a small teasing smile plays on her lips as she looks at you, throwing a playful glance and to that you hiss like a cat.

jungkook wipes his bleeding nose and observes you, he likes the way you hiss, he likes the strands of hair falling to the sides of your face and wishes to push them behind. he repeats your name in his head and thinks that it definitely suits you. the small scratches and the worn out green uniform compliment your figure so much that he finds it hard to just look away. he clears his throat again, attempting conversation "well, uh do we have a schedule or something like that?" you nod to that question, but your eyes shying away from him "yes, we do. we take trips to the canteen to find food, and we also take rounds guarding at night".

he sits down by the chair beside him and asks again, curiosity brimming his head "have you guys had any attacks? any infected?" he hopes you answer again, just to hear your voice, but your friend beats it to him as she replies "yes. we’ve had around two attacks and any infected? none, yet." her face is absent of fear and he notices that all of you look calm in such a situation.

it's been five days since the whole rupture occurred, so many died and many cried. you and your friends have survived by luck, is what you think. you're grateful that you have found this room to sleep and eat. scars litter all of your faces, most of them have dried up and you now take a look at jungkook and he seems courageous, his doe-eyes warming your heart and giving you some hope. you find some sort of safety in his being.

jeon jungkook is not unknown at all, he is the infamous heartthrob, known to be good at everything. he is disciplined and strong. He is athletic and sweet. jungkook is the one who receives endless letters on valentine's day and has a group of girls always cooing at him, but he is well mannered and does not swell with pride.

you would be lying if you said you hadn't noticed him, the first time you stepped onto campus. he turns heads everywhere he goes, and now, seeing him sitting by that chair. your heart beats faster, breathing labored. you should not be harboring such feelings in the middle of blood and screams. not when you could get bitten anytime. not amidst chaos.

Eleanor La Hera

Eleanor La Hera was born into a world where magic and mysticism remained hidden from the general population. Little did she know that she carried within her the potential to become one of the most powerful sorcerers in existence. Her destiny would be intertwined with the ancient Greek deity Hecate, the goddess of magic, witchcraft, and the night.

As a young child, Eleanor displayed an uncanny affinity for the mystical arts. Her abilities were noticed by the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme and leader of the Masters of the Mystic Arts. Recognizing her potential, the Ancient One took Eleanor under their wing and brought her to the mystical enclave of Kamar-Taj.

Under the Ancient One's tutelage, Eleanor learned to harness her magical abilities and control her connection to Hecate. She studied diligently, honing her skills in various forms of magic, including spellcasting, astral projection, and manipulation of mystical energies. Her time in Kamar-Taj was intense and transformative, but Eleanor emerged as a formidable sorceress.

After years of training, Eleanor felt a calling to use her powers to protect the world beyond the mystic realm. She joined the Avengers, a team of Earth's mightiest heroes, and became a crucial member of their ranks. Her knowledge of the mystical arts proved invaluable in combating supernatural threats that posed a danger to humanity.

As Eleanor's powers continued to grow, she delved further into her connection with Hecate. She discovered that she was not just a vessel for Hecate's power but a human incarnation of the goddess herself. This revelation solidified her role as the Mistress of all magic, the conduit through which Hecate's ancient power flowed into the mortal realm.

With her newfound understanding of her identity, Eleanor embraced her destiny as the Mistress of all magic. She became a beacon of hope for magical practitioners across the world, offering guidance and protection to those who sought her aid. Eleanor's mastery of magic and her unwavering commitment to justice made her a respected figure in both the mystical and superhero communities.

As the Mistress of all magic, Eleanor La Hera's legacy would be etched in the annals of mystical history.

Bumblebee teaser | jjk

• summary: Jeon Jungkook was your high school bully. What are you gonna do when your parents are forcing you to marry him as the country's most well-known CEO?

• pairing: ceo!jk x reader, high school bully!jk (more to come in upcoming chapters cuz i dont wanna spoil anything.)

• genre: enemies to lovers, high school bully to lover, arranged marriage, CEO/billionare romance.

• warnings: a little cursing, not much since it's a teaser, more to come in upcoming chapters.

• WC: 0.99k

Mythical; his beauty one of pure magnificence. Who is he? Who does he work for? What’s his name? What does he do for a living? Well, considering where you were, it wasn’t that hard to guess.

Your father is the CEO of HG Enterprise. A company worth over 2 billion dollars- as he had mentioned before- which is pretty impressive for a lingerie business. After the mentioned company had passed a milestone just two days ago, your father wanted to plan an event in honor of celebrating 50 years of HG. He claims the company as his baby, and it’s only fair to go all out on a party, just like this one.

Over 10,000 people have come to this celebration, and you, as the CEO's daughter, are responsible for keeping the guests company. Surely, your parents’ task is harder because greeting 10,000 people isn’t as easy as it sounds. For goodness sake, it doesn’t even sound possible!

Your night would’ve been more interesting had the guests been more intriguing. They either go on about their mansions with great pride over their money, or they utter bad dad jokes all the time. Just as your mother calls your name for the third time, you’re jolted out of your trance by an arm elbowing you in the gut.

“Y/N! Mom has called your name 3 times by now!” Your younger brother hurriedly sputters.

“First of all, ow…”, You rub the side of your ribs where your brother just elbowed you and glare at him. He smiles sheepishly in return, and says, “Sorry about that. You weren’t answering me, and why was that anyway?” his brows scrunch in confusion.

“I…um…I was lost in thought.” Yeah right. More like salivating over that hotshot guy you’ve been staring at this whole time- your brother doesn’t need to know that though. He looks at you unconvinced, his brows raised in question. “Never mind. Where’s mom?”

You’re making your way to your mother when your phone chimes with a new notification. You reach for your purse to fish your phone out- slam!

You screw your eyes shut and get ready for the impact of your butt hitting the cold marble floor, but instead, you feel a hand snake around your waist. As he pulls you towards him, the position has you flush against his body as your breath gets caught in your throat at the sensation. You open your eyes to be met with…oh my god!

You scramble to push yourself away from the guy when you lose your footing, and almost kiss the floor, again. He grabs your waist more firmly this time, pulls you to him, and chuckles.

“We wouldn’t want a beauty like you on the floor tonight, would we?” his breath fans over your ear as he whispers.

Your face flushes with major embarrassment as you try to conceal it with your hands. His hand leaves your waist only to circle around your wrists and pull your hands down. He then brushes a stray strand away from your face and tucks it behind your ear as he places distance between the both of you.

He offers his hand in greeting, “I’m Jeon Jungkook, CEO of Jeon Modeling Agency. Pleasant to make your acquaintance.” Jeon Jungkook? THE Jeon Jungkook? I’m fucked. So, utterly, fucked.

Jeon Jungkook became a CEO at the ripe age of 27. Only a year older than you, but he was still capable of managing a modeling company on his own after his dad’s unfortunate passing. With his late father no longer around to direct him, he was on his own, yet his decisions concerning the evolution of the mentioned company put the agency at an impressive top 10 in the country. Not only was the man in front of you the CEO of one of the most remarkable agencies in the world, but he was also your high school bully. You couldn’t recognize him at all, and all the previous attraction you had towards him dissipated into thin air.

“Y/L/N Y/N. That ring a bell, bumblebee?” The nickname dripped poisonous venom as it rolled off your tongue.

Blood drained from Jungkook’s face as his smirk dropped. All evidence from his earlier flattery evaporated, leaving him glaring at you. If looks could kill, you’d be 6 feet under.

Bumblebee was a nickname he bullied you with in high school. From day 1, he saw you wearing bumblebee socks, and the nickname stuck with you all the way. In class, in the hallways, just everywhere, and in front of everyone, he always used it to address you. You hated it, but nevertheless, he would still use it to pick on you every single day throughout the whole school year. You used to plead with him to stop using it, but he wouldn’t budge. Nothing worked. He would never stop picking on you, and you’ve always hated him for it.

Just as you're indulging in the glare-off between you and jungkook, your mom interrupts; "Oh, Y/N! I suppose you've already met Jungkook?" She smiles as she gives jungkook a once-over and looks at you right after.

You come back to your senses as you nod at your mom. "I have, and i already wish i hadn't-" Jungkook cuts you off as he turns towards Mrs. Y/L/N and beams at her, "You look beautiful tonight, Mrs. Y/L/N. Y/N must take after you!"

Your mother swoons over Jungkook's words, completely ignoring your previous comment.

"Why, thank you, young man! I trust she'll be in good hands..." Your mother glances at you then hesitates, "I suppose you haven't mentioned the 'big surprise' to Y/N yet, have you?"

What "big surprise"?

"What are you talking about?" You take turns glancing at Jungkook and your mom. You scrunch your brows in confusion. Your mother never mentioned anything about a surprise, and what does Jungkook out of all people have to do with it?

What on earth?

"Y/N, you and Jungkook are getting married in 6 months."

What. The. Fuck?

*The academy gathers around a broken coffee machine*

Oblivion: So, who broke Five’s coffe machine, hmm?

Five: I’m not mad, I just wanna know.

Viktor: I did. I brok—

Five: No. No you didn’t. Diego?

Diego: Don’t look at me. Look at Luther.

Luther: What? I didn’t break it.

Diego: Huh. That’s weird. How’d you even know it was broken?

Luther: Because it’s sitting right in front of us and it’s broken.

Diego: Suspicious.

Luther: No it’s not—

Oblivion: *smug* if it matters, probably not but…Zero was the last one to use it.

Zero: Liar! I don’t even drink that crap.

Oblivion: *smirk grows wider* oh really, then what we’re you AND Allison doing by the coffee cart earlier, hmm?

Allison: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles, everyone knows that!

Viktor: Okay, Okay! Let’s not fight. I broke it. Let me pay Five—

Five: NO! Who broke it.

Klaus: (Whispering) Five. Ben’s been awfully quiet.

Ben: Really?!

Five: I broke it. It burned my hand so I punched it.

Oblivion: I predict ten minutes from now they’ll be at each other’s throats with war paint on their faces and Pogo’s head in a stick.

Five: Good. It was getting a little chummy in here.

Klaus: Here she goes.

Zero: People move diffrently these days, I guess.

my favorite thing about klaus is how inadvertently useful he is. he’s not even trying to help out or be a team player, yet he ends up being the 2nd most productive sibling in getting shit done. luther and diego run around acting like headless chickens constantly, and klaus just walks on screen looking like he just came back from hell (which isn’t far off from the truth) like “hey, here’s an extremely vital piece of information you guys have spent the past 3 episodes looking for—i’m gonna get wasted now.”

☂︎ZEROᵗʰᵉ ʳᵉᵈ ᵘᵐᵇʳᵉˡˡᵃ

(The Umbrella Academy x Sibling! Adolescent! Reader)

“00.04”

ᴄᴏᴜɴᴛ ᴍᴇ ɪɴ

─━━━━━━⊱☂︎⊰━━━━━━─

"I would advise you to put your wallet in a more secure place, sir. You wouldn't want it to fall out again." Zero handed him back his brown, leather wallet which he took. "No. I wouldn't. Thanks for the advice." Leonard said. Leonard observed Zero’s uniform. He smiled a little at the young girl, looking that she was a fan of Umbrella Academy. It almost reminded him of when was younger.

"No problem."

"So, you from around?" Leonard and Zero started to stroll down the sidewalk. "Well I guess you could say that, but no. I'm just visiting my sister." Zero answered.

"Well, you should probably be heading back. It's not safe for kids like you to be out this late. There can be some dangerous people out here in the streets."

"I guess you're right. It is getting late. Well.... See you around, Leonard. It was nice talking to you." Zero said, waving at him as she started walking away.

"Yeah....see you around." Leonard said looking at her one last time, before going his separate way.

~☂︎~

ZERO CAME ACROSS GRIDDY'S. She saw it was surrounded by police cars. Agnes probably called the police, Zero thought. Zero hoped she was okay. Must have been really scary for her to experience something like that. Zero knew she was.

"I should be heading back now. Leonard was right. It is getting pretty late."

Zero started to head back home, As she walked back she felt herself bump into someone. She turned around to see a middle-aged man wearing a tuxedo. Zero began to panic, quickly apologizing. "I'm so sorry, sir. I should really watch where I'm going."

"Oh, no problem, kid. It's alright." The man reassured.

"Hazel! Come on!" Shouted a woman who was also wearing a tuxedo just like the other man's. "I'm coming!" The guy who Zero assumed was named Hazel ran after the woman. Zero paused and looked after them for a few seconds, then shook her head and kept walking back home.

"They were both wearing tuxedos. Kind of like the one Five was wearing when he came back. What is up with grown-ups and tuxedos. Hmm. Guess I'll never know."

~☂︎~

ZERO WAS ALMOST HOME. She was happy that she got to interact with so many people in one night, especially Leonard. He seemed really nice. Although his atmosphere felt like otherwise. Almost as if there was something vengeful and unapproachable about him, but Zero just shook that feeling off not worrying about it too much.

As Zero continued walking, she looked to see a family of five. They were laughing and having fun. And most important of all, they were together. The young one of the family gave a small wave to Zero, which to she waved back. She gave a small smile to the bunch, a little bit jealous of how much fun they were having together.

This just reminded her of how alone she truly was, ever since her siblings went their own separate ways. she was so distracted that she didn't notice a truck driving by her.

"Hey, kid!" Zero jumped and turned around to see the man she net at Griddy's. She squinted her eyes slightly at the bright light.

“What are you doing out here all by yourself?"

"Oh. I was just exploring, but I'm heading back home now." Zero said.

The man raised an eyebrow before saying:

"Need a ride?"

~☂︎~

ZERO PEERED OUT the window that had droplets running down it, at the rain falling through the city.

"So, where's your brother?" The man asked.

"Ummm, he's back at my sister's house." Zero lied. "I have come to realize that I haven't officially thanked you for paying for our food back there. So thank you."

"No problem." The drove by the open apartments, trying to park his truck.

"Well, we're here." Zero started to unbuckle her seatbelt, reaching for the door handle. A red umbrella in front of her caught her attention. "Wouldn't want you to get wet." Zero grabbed it and her trailed back up. "Are you sure?" The man nodded his head."You can repay me by getting to where you're going safely, alright kid."

"Right. Thanks so much, sir. For Everything."

"Syd. Name's Syd."

"Syd? That's fun to say. I like it. I'll make sure to remember that. Thanks, Syd. I wish you well for the rest of your night." With that, Zero walked into the apartments.

"That kid is something else." Syd said before driving off.

~☂︎~

ZERO'S EYES OPENED TO THE morning light. She yawned as she got up. This was the best sleep that she had ever gotten in years.

"Zero. Five." Vanya called out to only see Zero.

"Zero where did Five go?"

"He left when you went to sleep." Zero explained.

"Oh, shit." Vanya muttered.

~☂︎~

Vanya and Zero were in the academy looking for Five.

"Five?" Vanya called out.

They both went through the hallways.

"Are you upstairs?" Vanya called out again, as they went upstairs.

They looked to see Five looking out the window.

"Oh. Thank God." Vanya said, a wave of relief washing over her.

"I was worried sick about you. Thankfully, Zero told me where you might be."

"Sorry I left without saying goodbye." Five apologized.

A huge sense of emotion washed over Zero. Someone else was here.

"Klaus." Zero thought.

"No, look, I'm the one that should be sorry. I was dismissive and...I-- I guess I didn't know how to process what you were saying. And I still can't, to be honest.

"Maybe you we're right to be dismissive. Maybe it wasn't real after all. It felt real. Well... like you said, the old man did say time travel could contaminate the mind." Five said.

"then maybe I'm not the right person for you to be talking to. Look oh, I used to see someone. A therapist. I can give you her information." Vanya offered.

Vanya still thought he was crazy. But Zero didn't blame her though. This was a lot to process for Zero when she first found out the world was going to end.

"Thanks, but... I think I'm just going to get some rest. It's been a long time since I've had a good sleep." Five said.

"Okay." Vanya sighed and left.

Zero's eyes trailed to the wardrobe behind her. She went over and opened it up causing, Klaus to fall out.

"Zero? How did you know I was here?" Klaus asked.

"Everyone has a certain emotion in themselves that stands out from the rest. I recognized your emotion. That's how I sensed you were here."

Klaus made an 'Oh' sound, getting out of the wardrobe.

"That was so... touching, all that stuff about family and Dad and time. Wow!" Klaus said.

"Would you shut up? She'll hear you." Five scolded.

"I'm moist."

"I told you to put on something professional." Five said.

"What's? This is my nicest outfit." Klaus said in a hurt voice.

Five sighs.

"We'll raid the old man's closet."

"Whatever. As long as I get paid."

"When the job is done." Five said walking out with Klaus.

"Hey. Five wait. Whatever it is you're going to do I want to help." Zero said following after him

"No. You need to stay here. I'll tell you what I have so far when I come back." Five said.

Zero sighed.

"Yeah, yeah, I understand." Zero said.

With that, Five and Klaus went off to do their business.

"I'll just be here... waiting." Zero said when they were gone.

Zero went back to her prison which Reginald called her room, not really wanting to socialize with anyone right now. Zero went in to see the book Ben gave her, wide open on the floor. That was strange because she could have sworn she left it on the bed before she left. She went to pick it up. When she did, she felt a chill going down her spine. She started feeling a really familiar emotion.

"Ben." She turned around and looked behind her, but no one was there

"Great. I'm going crazy." Zero muttered as she kneeled back down to pick up the book.

☂︎ZEROᵗʰᵉ ʳᵉᵈ ᵘᵐᵇʳᵉˡˡᵃ

(The Umbrella Academy x Sibling! Adolescent!Reader)

Next Part

❝00.03❞

ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴀ ᴡᴏɴᴅᴇʀғᴜʟ ᴡᴏʀʟᴅ

─━━━━━━⊱☂︎⊰━━━━━━─

VANYA WAS WALKING DOWN the street heading to her apartment that she called home. It wasn't much. Just an ordinary apartment. As she walked up the stairs, she thought about all the things she had to do. Vanya remembered she had to practice her violin music for the audition. Just as she was about to get list in her mind, a fragile voice startled her.

"Mr Puddles?"

Vanya turned to see that it was her elder neighbor, Mrs Kowalski looking for her cat that went missing. Again. Vanya shook her head slightly, before taking out her keys and unlocking the door. When she entered, she jumped, startled at the sight of her two siblings.

"Jesus!"

"Heh-heh. Sorry that we startled you. We meant to knock, and wait until you got here." Zero tried to reassure.

"Yeah, but we didn't. And by the way, you should have locks on your windows." Five suggested.

"I live on the second floor." Vanya reasons.

"Rapists can climb." Five said with a serious look.

"You are so weird." Vanya shook her head, sighing in relief.

"What's a rapist?" Zero suddenly asked looking from Five to Vanya. Vanya looked to Five for guidance, but he just scratched the side of his head with his pointer, a secrectly amused expression.

"Just...ask Diego." Vanya said as she closed the door.

~☂︎~

VANYA OBSERVED FIVE'S uniform noticing blood on his arm. "Is that blood?" Five followed Vanya's eyes seeing his wound and looked back up at her. "It's nothing."

A silence came crawling back over the two. Zero notions that this has been happening a lot. "Why are you here and why did you bring Zero?" Vanya sparks.

"I've decided that you two are the only ones I can trust." Five concludes.

"Why me?"

"Because you're ordinary." Five replied, causing Zero to widen her eyes, while Vanya just stared at him with a slightly hurt look. Hearing him saying that was like being called useless all over again. "Because you'll listen." Y/n quickly added in, giving Five a slight glare.

"Yeah. That too." Five said.

"I'll get something to clean that wound." Vanya said, getting up.

"No, it's okay, Vanya. I got it."

Vanya turned around to Zero in confusion."What do you mean?" Zero smiled as she turned to Five. "Sleeve up." Zero ordered, which caused Five to raise an eyebrow and look to Vanya. "Come on. I'm not getting any older. Sleeve up." Zero said. Five rolled his eyes at what she said and pulled up his sleeve. Zero pulled off the cloth to reveal his wound.

"What exactly are you doing?" Five asked just as confused as Vanya. "Will you two please stop asking questions? I'm trying to concentrate." Zero put her hands over the wound. It took a second before black energy started to appear, surrounding the wound, closing it. When she was finished it was, as if it was never there in the first place. Five and Vanya stared at her in a temporary bombshell." I...I never knew you could do that." Vanya said, breaking out of trance.

"No one did. You never really got the chance to know." That was partly a lie. There was one person.

~☂︎~

ZERO WENT DOWN the hallway, heading to Ben's room. She made an excuse that she had to go to the bathroom. Well it wasn't really a lie she actually did have to use the bathroom. It was the only way to get out of her room. As she got closer to Ben's room, a pain shot up her right arm. Sobs could also be heard from outside the bedroom. Zero gently opened the wooden door to Ben's room to see him crying in pain. Zero slowly kneeled down to the bedroom floor. "Ben. What's wrong?"

Ben turned around and showed Zero the umbrella tattoo he got an hour ago. She didn't remember that her siblings had gotten tattoos today. To her father it was to Mark the academy name. But to her it was like the tattoos were like a message. And that mess was to let them know that they were nothing but vigilante machines used to fight crime. His irritated red skin still had small open cuts. Zero started to slowly reach her hand out, trailing to his arm. After a few seconds, energy from the him started absorbing into her.

"Are you okay, now?" Zero said taking her hand away. Ben stared at his arm and all. the pain that was once coming from his arm was now gone.

"What did you do?"

"I just your hurt into myself." Zero explains

"But won't that hurt you too?" Ben's concerned eyes tried to follow hers.

"Oh, no. I should be fine. Don't worry, alright. Is it still hurting?

"No. It's not hurting at all. That's so cool! What are your powers exactly?" Ben starts to scoot closer to Zero in anticipation.

"Um...I don't really know myself, but I think it something to do with the mind. For example" Zero closed both of her hands together. She opened it up to reveal a color changing flower. Ben's eyes widened in amazement. He went out to touch the flower, but his phased right through.

"Why can't I touch it?" Ben asked, as he capable waving his hand through the flower.

"Because it's an phantasm. It's plays a trick on your mind so you perceive things differently from what they truly are." As Zero explained this the flower started to morph back into a seed. When it did, Zero closed her hand over it and when she unclosed, it was completely vanished. Ben's eyes dilated in curiosity. This was the most he had seen of his sister's abilities.

"Can you make anything else? We could totally use this to prank Luther one day." Ben said excitedly. This slightly surprised Zero. She never really knew that he had it in him to do that.

"Unfortunately, I haven't really been working on my illusions, so the only thing I can create is a flower."

"Oh.... I still think it's cool though, sis." Ben said, causing Zero to give a small smile. "Thanks... That really means a lot coming from you."

"When I jumped for it and got stuck in the future, do you know what I found?"

"No."

"Nothing. Absolutely nothing. As far as I could tell, I was the last person left alive. I never figured out what killed the human race, but... I did find something else. The date it happens.... The world ends in 8 days and I have no idea how to stop it."

Zero looked at Five, sympathetically. She knew how it felt to be alone. After Luther left, that was it. She just felt so empty. So empty that she promised herself that she would make sure nothing bad would happen to Pogo or Grace.

"I survived on scraps, canned food, cockroaches, anything I could find. you know that rumor that Twinkies have an endless shelf life. Well, it's total bullshit." Five explained to Vanya, while Zero was observing their conversation. The thought of cockroaches made Zero's face scrunch up, as she shuddered.

"I can't even imagine." Vanya said softly.

"You do whatever it takes to survive, or you die. So we adapted. Whatever the world threw at us, We found a way to overcome it."

"We?" Vanya questions.

"....... You got anything stronger?" Five asked holding up the cup.

~☂︎~

FIVE TOOK A SIP OF HIS DRINK and leaned on the counter. He looked to his moderately taller sister with knowing look. "You think I'm crazy."

"No." Vanya stammers. "It's just... it's a lot to take in.

"Exactly what don't you understand?"

"Why didn't you just time travel back?"

Five tightens his grip on his glass.

"Gee, wish I'd thought of that. Time Travel is a crapshoot. I went into the ice and never acorn-ed. You think I didn't try everything to get back to my family?"

"If you grew old there, you know, and the Apocalypse, how come you still look like a kid?"

Five shook his head in annoyance . She acted as if he didn't just explain earlier back at the Academy.

"I told you already. Five started to pace across the living room. "I must have got the equations wrong."

"I mean, dad always used to say that... Time travel could mess up your mind. Well, maybe that's what's happening?" It was clear that Vanya still was quite puzzled on the situation. Puzzled to the extent where she thought her own brother was going mad.

"This was a mistake. You're too young... Too naive to understand." Five then glances at Zero. "No, offense."

"Some taken."

"No. Five...Five, wait. I haven't seen you in a long time, same goes for Zero, and I don't want to lose you again. That's all. And you know what, it's getting late, and... I have lessons early, and I need to sleep oh, and I'm sure you two do, too. Here." Vanya went over to one of her couches, grabbing a banker, handing it to Zero.

"We'll talk in the morning again. Okay? I promise. Night."

"Night." Five said back. Vanya made her way over to Y/n."Get some sleep." Zero nodded as Vanya headed to bed.

"You know, you could have backed me up back there." Five said as he and Zero watched Vanya close her door.

"Sorry. . .It's just.... When you tell people these kinds of things...." Zero started, trying to reason with her irritated brother.

"What's not to understand?" Five said getting more annoyed by the by the second.

"It's alright for her to not comprehend. She hasn't seen it as we did, so maybe you should try taking that into consideration. That's what you lack."

"Zero, we don't have time for that. The world is going to end in eight days.....you know what? Stay here. I'm gonna go out. Get some sleep. You look like you could use it." Five said referring to Zero's dark eye bags. He was about to walk out, but Y/n stopped him. Her mouth went opened and closed before she let out a sigh. "I know I'm not going to be able to stop you, so.... There's just this one question I have to ask."

"What?"

"I know this is a touchy subject, but........in the Apocalypse....did....you find me?"

"....."

"That's the thing. I never found your body." Just as he finished, the spatial jumped away, leaving Zero shocked.

"Five! You can't just say that and jump away!" Zero yelled to no one in particular.

ZERO FOUND HERSELF AWAKE in the middle of the night. She just couldn't seem to fall asleep. So many things we're going through her mind.

Zero got up from the couch and went to go look out the window. Doing this always seemed to calm her when things were rough. She would just look out the window and feel better. Then it was finally decided what she was going to do.

Zero put on her red flats and uniform jacket and went out the door, quietly. She was going to explore.

~☂︎~

ZERO WALKED OUTSIDE and followed the sidewalk. She was amazed at all the scenery.

The colors, the lights, the people.

It was all just.....

Breathtaking.

It was all a whole new world to her.

Zero looked through a store window to see it filled with books.

"Wow. I didn't know that there are so many books in the world. It's amazing." Zero gazed a few minutes more before continuing to explore.

A man quickly walked passed her, his wallet slowly escaping out of his pocket. Zero picked up the wallet quickly before anyone unhonest could get it.

"Hey! Wait up, Sir! You forgot your wallet!" Zero yelled after him, making the stranger look to her direction.

He had dark brown, almost black hair, with a slight facial hair and dark brown eyes. His ears were also quite small. He seemed a little unapproachable at first.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, Sir, but y-you dropped your wallet." Zero said panting.

"Oh. Thanks, kid. That was very generous of you." The man said smiling. Zero smiled back and held out her hand. "Name's Zero." Zero introduced making sure she minded her etiquette. The Stranger shook it with a little raise of an eyebrow.

"Leonard."
