Love is like Fire

Five x F.Reader (Pyrokinesis)

H.C - lowkey story like

Powers: Pyrokinesis

Codename: Arson

Summary: Love, a word that held little meaning for him, a word that would disgust him. Love, a word that would haunt her, remind her of the purity that was stolen from her, replaced by the of gift sent from Hell. Love, a word that had ignited a new flame within him. Love, a word that had her burning with passion at the thought of him. Love, that had taught both the meaning of 'forever', the fragility of morality and chaos.

Genre: Angst/Fluff

WARNINGS: Suicidal thoughts, mention of domestic violence, child abuse, human trafficking, self-hate, murder to some extent (yeah, i was on a roll)

Requested by: @madelynmulford (okay, so I know you gave a simple request, but I kinda went ahead and added a bit too much- I'm so sorry and I hope you like it (」ﾟﾛﾟ)｣ )

Love, what is love? Great minds from all over the world, for centuries, have pondered upon the true, exact meaning of this horrid abstract presence- one that can be considered as a feeling, a gesture, or even a physical act. More importantly, what is considered love? What is the most accurate and favored form of love? A mother's love, one that is deemed to be unconditional and eternal, or a father's love, is often categorized as tough love, one that raises his children as warriors. Or perhaps the love of a soul mate claimed to be as gentle as the morning breeze, soft as dandelions, and pure as an angel's kiss. To Five Hagreeves, all that was bullshit. A mother who sold him, a father that just trained him as a soldier, and no matter how much he claimed to love Delores, at the back of his mind, he knew she was only with him because he was the last man alive. So to him, love was a complicated subject, and all the branches attached to it.

Which is why, when he first met her, he had no clue as to why he felt like he was on fire- well, at that moment he was literally on fire as well. 

He wasn't supposed to be doing that alone tonight. This was a military base he was sent to and the 25-year-old was told by the Handler that he'd have assistance but at the moment, he was blinking around the base, avoiding as many bullets as he could, praying he didn't run out of juice. Unfortunately, blinking into a dead end was not how he thought he'd end up dying, frankly, he thought he'd go back in time, and f*** up the timeline a few times with his siblings- either dying in the process of actually living a decent life. 

"In my defense, I'm not really American." He said raising his hands, as all guns were aimed at him, "Ah shit-"

Several clicks were heard as they aimed, ready to fire, but as they were about to, the tips of their guns began to burn orange for a split second before melting. Confused, the guards exchanged a look before they heard someone scream, a guard had caught fire, followed by another, then another and in a matter of minutes, the entire fleet was on fire. Their horrifying screams echoed across the base. One of them pounced on Five as he blinked away, out of the building and into the parking lot, surrounded by tanks. 

"What the f***-"

"Your shoulder is on fire."

"What? SHIT" patting away the fire he stared at the burnt hole in his coat, examining the damage. 

"Wanna see something cool?"

He turned to finally look at the person, she was sitting on top of the tanks, staring at the buildings of the base with a look in her eyes- he'd seen that look before. A shiver ran down his spine as he blinked her in, a woman radiating an ethereal presence, one that poured out strength....and violence. She wasn't wearing the usual commission uniform either, no, in fact, she was dressed in all black. A stealth suit- who was this woman and why did she make his palms all sweaty? Suddenly a deafening screech rang across the field, causing him to cover his ears as one by one, each building exploded, the raging fire eating the concrete jungle before them. He heard her chuckle, eyes wide as he stared at the amusement in her eyes, she was enjoying this, the act of burning everything to ashes, the screams of pain and- MOTHER F***ER

"The FILE IS STILL INSIDE"

"WHAT." Her head whipped in his direction, another boom echoing in the back, "THE HELL WERE YOU DOING IN THEIR FOR THE PAST THREE HOURS''

"TRYING NOT TO DIE- YOU'VE BEEN HERE FOR THREE HOURS AND DIDN'T COME INSIDE TO HELP ME???"

That is how the two first met, the first mission the two had together- screwing it up perfectly. Hence, the two stood in front of the Handler who sighed, staring at the two,

"I know her tendencies but you, Five, darling I thought you were better than this"

"She didn't show up on time- in fact, she almost killed me in the process too!!

"Is that right Arson?"

"N-ye-maybe"

Taking a deep breath, the blonde looked at the girl then at Five, "Tell you what, from now on, both of you will be partners. Learn each other's strengths and weaknesses and make it work. I have high expectations from both of you- do not let me down."

"But-"

"No buts Arson, your track record is declining and your previous partner left some complaint in HR- we need to fix that, understood?"

"Yes, Ma'am."

"Good girl, now here's another file, I expect both of you to handle this one properly."

Therefore, Five decided to be civil, for two reasons, firstly because the Handler had demanded them to do so and he didn't want to ruin his end of the bargain and secondly, this tug deep within his shrunken, dried-out heart forced him to look past the recent catastrophic events of mass homicide- at least try to. 

"You can go through it first." he offers.

"I will." she muttered quickly skimming through the file and closing it, "Here." she offered it to him.

"Thanks", reaching for it, with a surprised expression, not expecting her to be so normal, his fingers were an inch away from the file before it caught fire. Hissing from the heat that barely scraped his fingertips he glared at her.

"oops~"

To say that the two got off on the right foot would be plain stupid. He didn't like her- no he loathed her, in fact, he believed (and told the Handler several times) that this little burnt-out lighter should be behind bars, or even better PUT OUT. He never understood why the Handler didn't do anything. This woman- or as everyone called her Arson was completely chaotic, destructive, and a sociopath. Not to mention she was OUT OF CONTROL. It was incredibly difficult to do anything with her, even a simple conversation would break into an argument. For example, when they exchanged immediate personal information, such as their names;

"Five Hargreeves"

"Arson."

"Is that actually your name?"

"No, but there is no need to tell disposable people my name."

"I'm sorry, but last I checked, all of us were disposable."

"Apology accepted, but you were wrong, though I wouldn't worry about it, you won't be staying too long anyway."

"Come again, flamethrower?"

"What.did.you.call.me?"

Let's be real, it's not like she wanted a partner it is very true that the night at the base, she was about to kill him too. She'd just say he turned into collateral damage and that was that, but she didn't know he could...blink. Was the Handler collecting beings like her now? Anyway, if this was their boss' pathetic attempt at taming her, she was a fool- she'd burn this dude to a crisp in a matter of days. Or so she thought she would.

Five was no idiot, he didn't like her, that much was evident, but he wasn't egotistical enough to call her useless. No, she was the exact opposite. She was a genius, she knew what she was doing and how to do it. The way her eyes would calculate the area and presence around them before battle, often mumbling about how the weather would affect her powers- the drier the weather the better it was for her. Often he would spot a book in her hand, literature of old age, literature of a variety of languages, which is why when she spoke in fluent Russian during a mission he wasn't surprised- especially when she looked at him with that shit-eating grin as if taunting it. He just shrugged in response though, he had long figured out she could speak more than one language. Unfortunately, all that brain was useless when it came down to the concept of 'morality and boundaries.' For even though she looked like an angel, the demon inside her burning soul spoke in volumes that could put hell to shame. It would haunt him, the killings, he'd get up at the dead of the night, drenched in a cold sweat, heart pounding against his rib cage but her, no, he'd never seen her flinch while she was awake, let alone have nightmares at night. He had seen her torture, purely for fun- especially men. Most of the time, their missions were simple in and out, but for some reason, as they would be leaving, the screams of men on fire would be bouncing around behind them.

He bothered her, he really did. She knew he'd complain to the Handler about her, but he'd never quit being her partner. It was aggravating. She had not been partnered up in so long, let alone FOR so long as well. It had been 2 years and he'd been putting up with her- what was more surprising though is that he never really 'insulted her . She knew she was a monster, one that was sent from hell itself, yet, there were the briefest moments where he'd say these things and just leave her with her thoughts- she would know that he was upset, but he wouldn't take it out on her. Just leave for a while, the next morning he'd get up as if nothing happened.

"Must you do that every time?"

"Do what?"

"Set people on fire? For God's sake Arson, that wasn't even needed."

"Why are your panties in a knot, you got feelings for them or something-"

"No. But I see no need for murdering people for fun."

"Who said it's fun?"

"Whatever it's worth Arson, I think you don't know why you do it too." with that he blinked out of the car, leaving her sitting alone with herself.

He was right. She didn't know. She was Arson, and setting things on fire was her job. Her powers, this curse, was all she had, all she was, and never in a million years have fire or anything related ever been described as anything but demonic or hell sent. This was who they wanted her to be, what they said she'd turn into, so why was this wrong? 

Love, disgusting thing ain't it? Hell, he still wasn't sure if it was love, but when he'd look at her, sitting in the car as he blinked out, he felt an unsettling mixture of emotions settle in the pit of his stomach. He knew he wasn't wrong, she was out of control. There is a difference between being chaotic-good and just plain messed up and right now, she was borderline messed up. What bothered him the most was the most important question, why did he care? Why did he care about her wellbeing, how she felt, how her choices reflected her- none of that was his business. Hell, he didn't even know her real name, yet, for some reason, for the past whole year, he had been trying to figure her out, to peel away the layers- he knew, his gut told him, there was more to what she was, more to all this fire and destruction. Maybe it was because of her powers, the fact that she had powers too, just like him, made him feel a bit better about himself, less lonely. She was the first person he had seen in years who didn't gawk at him in awe when he blinked, someone who wasn't scared of him either- she looked him dead in the eye. He wanted to talk to her, for some reason he felt like that may solve this a bit, but he was no conversationalist, nor was she- moreover, he was sure she couldn't care less about him. 

Well, at least that's what he thought- to some extent she thought the same, you know, not caring about him. Unfortunately, the little blue bird in her cage felt differently. One of the blessings of having her powers was that in winter- she was a human heater. The cold never bothered her, she'd rid of her stealth suit as well. Ironically, she'd switch to what Five later described as - the Deigo outfit-  a leather jacket, covering a basic white tank top, a pair of faded jeans, and combat boots. Now, to any sane person, she looked like a lunatic, especially when they were sent to Alaska, during the harsh winters. 

Five had seen the winter through the apocalypse, one of the worst kinds, but recently, he had decided that this was the worst kind of winter he had ever had the pleasure to deal with. Not only was it cold, but they got ambushed, the temperature had affected his ability to blink and they were lost in a blizzard. What was more surprising throughout the entire thing, she had stayed in control she was keeping her destruction in check ever since he confronted her in the car- almost two years ago. See, he knew there was a little morality within her. 

"I can see a building nearby."

"What if there are people there-"

"Five, that place is busted up and it's freezing here, I assure you, it's abandoned."

That is how the two ended up inside the abandoned building. She was searching for something to burn while he was looking for something to wrap himself up with, unfortunately, there was nothing there. The place was an abandoned lab, almost empty, minus a few tables and chairs- empty vials and shattered glass on the floor. He hissed as the freezing sensation begin to take over his body, at this point, he couldn't even feel his fingers anymore, the tips blue- shit. She came back into the room, closing the door behind her, holding a pile of papers she had found, they were wet, but she could easily burn them. Turning to look for him, she paused, until she noticed him on the floor, shivering in a fetal position. 

"Shit- FIVE" running to him, she placed the papers beside him, setting them on fire. She took off her jacket, placing it over his shoulders as he pushed it away, mumbling; "No...you'll get co-oh-old" he shivered. 

"Shut up man." she snapped back, her jacket was small for him, naturally. Nonetheless, she pulled it closer, rubbing her hands together, then taking a deep breath, "I have an idea...but...I...tell me if it gets too warm okay?" she muttered, dragging him to a corner as she sat him down first. He could only groan in response, too fazed out. She sat beside him, pulling him closer, wrapping her arms around him as she hugged him close. His face buried in her shoulder, she took a deep breath before closing her eyes, "Five...I need you to live through this okay? Just...just focus on my voice." When she got no response she shook him-violently- earning a, "yes... please you're warm." He snuggled closer to her, wrapping his arms around her frame, laying there, semi on top of her, as his cheek pressed against the exposed skin of her neck. He was almost asleep- his body going in and out of consciousness until he heard her, she was reciting a poem. He knew that poem;

"There's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him,

I say, stay in there, I'm not going to let anybody see you."

"Ch-Charles B-Bukowski" he whispered, earning a chuckle from her, it was beautiful. Not once in these years of knowing her, had he heard her. "Shhh...just don't fall asleep okay? I need to concentrate, otherwise, I may potentially burn you." 

there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out

but I pour whiskey on him and inhale cigarette smoke

and the whores and the bartenders and the grocery clerks never know that

he's in there.

He could feel her body warm up, the numbness from his body slowly fading, allowing his mind to work in overdrive- the usual way it did. If he could warm up just a bit more, he could blink the two out of there, possibly to someplace warmer. He wanted to tell her this, but he wanted to listen to her as well, this was slowly starting to make sense to him.

There's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out

but I'm too tough for him, I say stay down, do you want to mess me up?

You want to screw up the works?

You want to blow my book sales in Europe?

She pulled him closer, honestly so lost in the moment that she didn't notice him looking up at her. How her breath was shaky and her lip was quivering. He had never seen her so vulnerable. There was much more to this woman and he knew it- and he was right to. 

There's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out

but I'm too clever, I only let him out at night sometimes when everybody's asleep. 

I say I know that you're there, so don't be sad.

Her breath hitched, eyes clenching harder as she let out a small whimper. Five slowly sat up, pulling her closer, in an actual embrace, his chin placed on top of her head, as she let out a muffled sob. He was glad how well she was controlling her powers because Handler had warned him about how she would lose control of them whenever she was emotional. He waited for a moment, to check if she would finish the poem, but her silent crying against his chest told him otherwise. He felt better now, warmer, enough to get them out of this shit hole. Taking a deep breath he whispered to her,

then I put him back, but he's singing a little

in there, I haven't quite let him die and we sleep together like that

with our secret pact and it's nice enough to make a man weep,

but I don't weep, do you?

With that, he blinked them out of there, into the last motel they had checked into. She had not realized they were in a different place, but then again she was drained, more importantly, she was staring up at him in awe. Watching how his lips would move, pouring out each word of Bukowski's BlueBird with such grace. It only occurred to her that they had blinked when the dim lights of the room illuminated his angular face, casting shadows to make him look even more handsome than he already was. That was it, with that she groaned, falling onto the bed, eyes slowly closing as he got off the bed- honestly, he hadn't thought of blinking right onto the bed, but maybe his tired brain had thought of it. He pulled her shoes off, tucking her in, only for her to whine in her sleep and toss the blankets off her, turning to the other side - the cooler side of the bed. That's when he noticed something on her back, her tank top, and rode up due to her movements, revealing a good portion of her back. He knew he wasn't supposed to, it was wrong and disrespectful, but the tattoo peeking out forced him- curiosity to get the better of him. Making sure to cover her front with the sheets, his fingers reached for the hem of the material, slowly pushing it upwards, exposing her back, his fingertips brushing against her warm skin. His breath hitched at the sight of what was tattooed between her shoulder blades, a fire poppy. With a heavy sigh, he adjusted her attire, fixing it properly and tucking her in once more- there was so much more to her, each piece he discovered would make him feel as if he was punched in the heart- was this....love? 

Naturally, the next morning he never brought up the tattoo, knowing she'd burn him to bits, especially when he realized she never mentioned the poem either- or the fact that she was crying the entire time. She was back to her a**hole routine, much to his displeasure. 

"Man, could you have brought us to a hotter place???"

"It's not that hot, Arson"

"Yeah, says the guy whose balls freeze at the slightest of breeze."

"Nice to see you're doing much better-"

"Mention last night again and I'll kill you."

"But I like Charles Bukowski too-"

"NEVER AGAIN."

So yes, Charles Bukowski, the Bluebird, or even the tattoo were never mentioned again. For a very, very long time. The only change that had occurred after that night was that she was slightly more open, when it came down to trivial conversation, while Five. Oh, well that man was in a pickle, for he had developed a new trait when he was around her- possessiveness. When they'd be on a mission, he'd be sending death glares to anyone looking at her, when she'd be in a fight, his attention would be on her, blinking around her, keeping enemies away from her- she didn't notice though. Or at least he thought she didn't. She did though. She noticed everything, how he would watch her every move, how he would be gentle with her. When he'd get himself a coffee in the morning, he'd get her something cool to drink, often a fresh juice, claiming it was healthy. He bought her a new leather jacket, even though she told him not to,

"No."

"I owe it to you."

"You can pay back by SHUTTING UP IM BUSY"

"Are you going to set something on fire?"

"Five, please, I haven't in so long and that man looks like a creep, look at how he's staring at those kids and I just-"

"You realise you can just go punch him."

"The smell of ashes is bette- and he just grabbed that kid great. THANKS, A LOT"

It's safe to say that Five managed to blink there, grab the kid and blink away before the man was mysteriously set on fire- a fire that could not be put out even by water.

"Feeling better?"

"Much...we should do this more often."

Things rolled like this for some time, usually, he'd be cleaning up her mess or at least making sure she didn't cross any boundaries, in return, she would only become 'destructive' when he would deem fit, not that she minded it- he was violent, she knew it, but then again, he was Five. The Handler's new favorite, the commission's best member. For her though, he was slowly becoming something very important, something she could cling on to, something permanent- someone permanent, someone who cares. Though she would remind herself, again and again, how that was what she WISHED he was, for just how everyone thought she was a monster, he did the same, only instead of being scared, he was trying to tame her. Or so she'd tell herself, the bluebird could stay in that cage of fire, or she'd burn it.

He began to make it difficult for her though, other than his usual protectiveness, he would sometimes just sit with her in silence, watching people go by. He'd play a tune, and lower the volume enough so it was only a faint whisper in their ears. On one particular occasion, 1st October, the most horrid day of her life- her birthday-, they were sitting in the car, they were done with their mission. So now, they were parked in a drive-in restaurant, waiting for whatever Five had ordered for them.

'Here, I got you something for your birthday" he spoke up out of the blue, handing her a wrapped object 

"Oh..." She looked at the rectangular object, wrapped in shiny...blue paper- it was the same color you'd see when he'd blink. Around the paper was a red ribbon, tied up into a pretty bow. "I...ehem.. thanks but I didn't get you anything."

He shrugged staring ahead at the waiters on roller skates, "don't need to..."

He watched her eagerly rip it open, fingers hapting as she whispered to herself, "no way..."

"Open it." He urged her, waiting for her to see what was inside.

Flipping open the book she read on the first page, it was a note, from Charles Bukowski addressed to her, "To dear Arson, interesting choice of name. May the fire within your keep you forever warm." Her fingers traced the ink, staring at the paper, not only did he get her an original "The Last Night Of The Earth Poems" but he got it signed too.

"Do you like it, Arson?' he whispered, leaning to look at her expressions as she turned away, facing the window. He heard her sniff as he chuckled, reaching for her hand, giving it a light squeeze.

Clearing her throat she wiped her eyes with her free hand, before facing him. "It's Y/N"

His grip tightened on her hand, moving closer as he stared at her, "What was that?"

"My name...it's Y/N".

"It's...beautiful..."

This was it, he was finally getting to know her, his heart was beating like crazy, her hand warm in his ears ringing as he admired her beauty, leaning closer to her. He didn't know what he was doing, but his body was reacting on its own, eyes closing, that is until she gasped, accidentally slapping him- "FOR GOD'S SAKE ARSON". Well, he misread the situation.

"I know what to give you as a gift."

"What?"

"I won't use my powers for three missions."

"....so no burning?"

"Well, I can see how you always almost piss yourself when I seem to be punishing evil people-"

"...because being the lawyer, judge and executioner is -"

"Yes, yes, wrong we've had this discussion before BUT ONLY 3."

"Who knows Arson- Y/N, you might even like it, hand to hand combat is much more cathartic."

He was right, it was tiring, but it felt so much better. The crunch of someone's bone under your knuckles felt good- though when she told Five this he responded with a chuckle and an "as long as its bad guys."

They made a routine out of this, she'd only use her powers when necessary, and he'd cover her when needed- which was apparently more than often. Yes, she did notice, but never said anything, for some reason, knowing someone cared about her made her feel a bit...less angry. She began to feel this way once she told him her name, it felt sweet and tingly, every time he'd use it when they were alone, even when he'd ask her the simplest of things, like what she wanted to eat. Five didn't mind the rate of this progress, he knew she was opening up to him, and frankly speaking, he was more concerned about her well-being most of the time to care about whether she loved him or not. Ironically, he was overprotective of her, the urge to be around her all the time was irritably strong. He wanted to go back to his family as well, but the math was still off and he wanted to know if he could take her- it's not like anyone appreciated her here. But would she want to or rather how long would it take her to let him in?

It was supposed to be a simple mission, go in, get a file and not kill anyone in the process- okay, so not killing anyone was difficult for both Y/N and Five. Though she had avoided burning anyone to death, they were outnumbered. Five had blinked ahead, while she was supposed to be the distraction. Five had made sure to hurry up, because as much as he trusted her ability to defend herself, the last thing he'd want is for her to get hurt because of him- especially when they weren't allowed to kill anyone here.

She was doing fine, in fact, she had managed to bust up more than a dozen men who had come at her, everything was fine until a familiar face caught her eye. She had seen that man before, who was running towards her with a bat. Frozen in place, her breath hitched, her brain switching off at the sight of the attacker. She had seen that necklace before, that face, she knew him- Five blinked back to where he had left her, file in hand, he was about to call her out when he heard a loud thump, only to see her falling to the ground, being tackled down by a man. He was about to blink to her before she reacted, her hand on fire, colliding with the man's face who hissed in pain. He fell backward, holding onto his face, staring at her as she stood up, slowly approaching him. 

"Shit." Five hissed, blinking to her only to blink away when her whole body lit up on fire. "ARSON SNAP OUT OF IT!"

"You filthy swine!" she hissed, "How much do you think I'm worth now?!" her hand extended forward, aiming for him as the man begged her for his life.

"NO!" Five blinked in front of him, staring at her, "Y/N listen to me, okay? Our instructions are clear-"

"MOVE OR DIE!"

"THEN DO IT!" he glared back at her, turning his head to stare at the man with now a burnt cheek, "Get out of here, NOW!" with a curse the man ran away leaving-

"NO!" she screeched aiming for him again but Five got in the way, shaking his head, "Y/N, please! Listen to me! This isn't right-"

"FIVE MOVE OR HE'LL DO IT AGAIN!"

"Whatever it is we can't mess with it!" he yelled back moving closer to her, hissing at the heat radiating off her ablaze body. He extended his hand, reaching for hers, "Don't be the monster they want you to be" he yelled before grabbing her hand, waiting for the burning sensation, but it never came. Her body was normal again, skin warm against his. sighing in relief he pulled her closer, hugging her as he kissed the top of her head, "Let's go - NO" he blinked away. It all happened in a split second, one moment he was holding her, and the next he was gone. She whipped around at the sound of a gunshot, he had blinked behind her, protecting her. Panicked she grabbed onto his falling form, looking at him as he hissed in pain,  eyes trailing down to the blood on his shirt, the stain growing larger by the second.

"Shit- f*** Five, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?" she yelled at him before looking at the man who had fired the shot, "YOU-"

"Y/N" he coughed, gripping onto her arm, "I'm blinking us out of here." he groaned, not waiting for a response as he blinked them away, safe in their motel room. He blinked up at her slowly, eyes growing heavy as he chuckled, "Are you...crying?"

"Shut up" she hissed, pressing a hand to his wound, "I'll fix you up- I- don't die on me okay," she said trying to get up but he kept her still, hand on her arm, his breathing shallow. "Wait, Y/N, you need to know that I-I love you." he groaned before blacking out.

His eyes snapped at the loud boom, sitting up only to wince and fall back on the bed- oh shit, they were back at the motel, and- holy shit did he survive? Pulling up the blankets he saw that he was wrapped up, pretty professionally too. Glancing around the room his eyes landed on her sleeping form, seated in the chair beside him, brows furrowed. Slowly reaching for her hand, he winced when she slapped his hand, staring up at her he gulped, "Hey-"

"No. No hey, nothing. How dare you say something like that and almost die?"

"Actually, I thought I was dead, you patched me up well."

"I didn't have a partner for a long time, so I had to learn to do it."

"Y/N about what I said-"

"Forget it. I don't love you."

Her words stung, his heart felt like it was being squeezed tight, "You don't love me...or you don't want to admit it-"

"I am unworthy of such things. Are you blind?? Don't you see Five? I'm a monster! I'm not like you! I have no code of conduct, no morals- I almost killed you!" she cut him off, about to stand up only for him to grab her wrist and pull her back down.

"But you didn't! You aren't a monster Y/N! F*** I'd love you even if you were"

"DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT LOVE IS?"

He stared at her, grip tightening around her wrist, he knew she could tell he had no clue about it, hell, he didn't even know if what he felt was love, but he knew he wasn't letting her go.

"Five..." she whispered, leaning closer, her words soft, "Love...is for the pure, for the worthy, I am neither. If you knew anything about me, you'd kill me yourself-"

"Then tell me." he spat, pushing away the sheets, glaring at her, "I don't know a damn thing about you, yet, here I am all putty in your hands- You think I like feeling this weak, woman? I give you my all and you just push me away, what do you think I am?" he seethed through gritted teeth, inches away from her face, "Do you think I'm some kind of saint? I've done shit you can't even begin to imagine. I don't enjoy feeling this way Y/N, I don't have to protect you but I do because I want to... I don't know why, and just like why you don't know why you like burning people to death, you don't know why you shouldn't let me love you. You think you're filthy and a beast, well let me break it to you, you have no idea" he whispered, "what a monster is.`` With that he let go of her as soon as he noticed the fear in her eyes, "I-I'm sorry I just..." he trailed off staring at the wall behind her, maybe he was mad at her. For once, hearing her reject him so openly and bluntly was not something he expected or rather was not something he was ready for. 

"I'm...sorry," she whispered, his eyes darting to her face, her orbs fixated on her hands as she sat back down in the chair beside his bed. "I...I don't tell you anything because...I don't want you to leave." she whispered, biting her lip to hold back a sob. 

"You've tried to kill me several times, Y/N." he stated bluntly laying back down as he stared at the ceiling, "You don't have to talk about it, I understand you don't feel the same way-"

"That man, the one you saved..3 years from now, he's going to buy a little girl from a horrible excuse of a father and put her up for auction."

Head whipping in her direction, he stared at her wide-eyed, letting out a shaky, "W-what?"

"I...This girl was born on 1st October 1989, to a poor couple who could not conceive. With an abusive husband, the wife would often be the victim of his abuse, before their child's birth. Once, the child was born, things got worse between the two, neither could...have a child, yet, here she was, their baby girl. The wife thanked every entity possible for this miracle but the husband, no, he hated the birthed creature...called it...satan's unwanted child. He wasn't wrong though, they soon discovered the child had powers of the sort- a curse as the husband named it. Fire. She could set things on fire, her whole body could light up ablaze and she'd be alright. In winters, her body would grow warmer, but the wife didn't care, she l-loved her daughter. Like nothing she had loved before, she'd protect her child from everything, the world, the evil spirits, and her husband. Whenever he'd bea- punish his wife, she'd tell her daughter to cover her ears and close her eyes, count to 100 and it'll be okay. It would, every time she'd open her eyes after counting...things would be back to normal, she'd see her mother smile at her and the husband wouldn't be there anymore." She sighed, staring at her hands, ashamed to look at him, "One night though...she... she opened her eyes before she could reach a hundred and she saw what he was doing to her...she doesn't remember much after that, only the sound of her mother screaming in pain. She woke up to find the ashes of everything around her- her whole world lost...her mother, the only person to see him as a human, the only person to love her, her world, the only person fighting this war for her...lost. Next thing she knows, she is at an orphanage..." she stopped to look at him, wondering if he was still listening, meeting his emerald orbs, swirling with emotion. 

"Then?"

"The place was a front...it was a brothel or something run by the headmaster...the girl was different though, she was the headmaster's favorite." Five wasn't sure how or why, but once again he felt this fire ignite, reaching for her hand, gently clasping it in his as he looked at her to continue, "One day, there comes a man, I don- the girl didn't know what he wanted but she heard him argue with the headmaster, then he came in her room telling her how he owned her now. Next thing she knows she's in a cage, on a stage, surrounded by these people- monsters- they were yelling number and" her breath hitched, gipping his hand as her words caught her throat, clenching her eyes shut as she leaned forward, resting her forehead against the hand that was holding onto hers.

"Was it the same man as today?"

"Y-yes...she did it again though when he pulled her out of the cage she ...lost control, blacked out and woke up to a lady standing in front of her...offering her a job. She told her she'd give her a new life, a new identity and she took it."

There was silence after that, neither knew what to say for a while. He watched her silently weep, holding onto his hand, he wondered what it would've been like if his father had adopted her too. Maybe she'd be different, happier, safer, less broken- not saying that his childhood was any better, but compared to what she had just told him, it was a f***ing blessing. After almost an hour of crying she slowly sat up, staring at their hands, "Please...Five, I'm okay as Arson- a monster-, that's who I am and who I'll be forever."

"You're not, you're Y/N, the strongest person I have ever met. You're no monster, I've never seen you kill an innocent person in our time together- you may have a f***ed up sense of execution, but it isn't wrong...sometimes, it's okay to not see the grey between the black and white." He smiled at her, bringing her hand to his lips, kissing it gently, "I'm not asking you to love me, I just need you to know you're are worth so much more than you think- and I'll take a bullet for you over and over again-"

"Please don't do that again, if you hadn't blinked us out I'm pretty sure I would've burned everything to the ground, you included." 

"Understood...I have...one more question, what does the fire poppy represent, the one um.." averting his gaze he cleared his throat, "On your back."

"I won't ask how you know that, but my mother used to call me a fire poppy, and then...poppies represent remembrance...and she was my world."

"Oh." was all he said before sighing as he closed his eyes, "Y/N, I know you don't love me, but I think I'm f***ed."

"Why?" she asked, averting her gaze from her lap when she didn't get a response, only to find him asleep, still holding onto her hand. For the first time in a long while, she had felt something, she felt loved. Staring at their hands for a moment, she leaned closer to him, thinking for a moment before placing a soft kiss on his lips, whispering, "You never let me say I love you too." 

Naturally, the next morning when he woke up, he found her curled up next to him, holding onto him for her dear life. He wanted to wake her up, but stopped when her eyes met his, "Morning sleepy head, did you enjoy kissing me while I was asleep?" Instantly pulling away- falling off the bed with a loud thud- she stared up at him, face flushed, "y-you were awake??" The only response she received was the sound of his laughter, making her blush harder.

The two were considered a couple, not that anyone in the commission knew. No one in their right mind could imagine the horrid Arson to be so human and for Five to like someone like her. The Handler didn't care, she was getting results and her plan of taming Arson was going well, what she didn't know was the Five had no plans of letting anyone use or manipulate his little firecracker anymore. 

To say they were an ideal couple would be a bit far-fetched, most of the time, they'd be arguing- as usual. Though Five never cared about it, he enjoyed seeing her all angry, it made him feel like she cared- which she did, don't get him wrong, but the way she'd turn all red and whine when she was angry was adorable.

"Five."

"Yes?"

"Where's my cola?"

"Orange juice is better and healthier."

"But I DON'T WANT ORANGE JUICE"

Nonetheless, he would often be her moral compass as well, though she would claim to be his 'moral compass.' Usually, when they'd be on missions, he'd be stopping her from committing arson for fun- even if the base belonged to bad guys, and she'd be stopping him from becoming more violent when his overprotectiveness would kick in. He'd make it a habit to calculate whether it would be okay to kill certain people if they were irrelevant to the timeline but had managed to hurt her during a mission and then he'd go after them.

"Why are you covered in blood????"

"Don't worry, it's not mine."

"HOW IS THAT BETTER FIVE?"

"Remember that group of guys that got away when you got shot and I blinked us out?"

"yeah..."

"Well, I happened to bump into those a**holes and taught them a lesson."

"...Five you went out to get dinner."

"Shit."

When he told her about traveling back to stop the apocalypse she just shrugged, saying she'd be okay with whatever it was, as long as it was with him. Honestly, it wasn't any of her business, rules, codes, the math, all that shit didn't matter to her anyway, even before she had realized how she felt about him, and clearly, that wasn't going to change. All she needed was him, and everything would be okay. 

At forty, the two had decided to tie the knot in secret, she never wanted anything flashy- frankly, when he proposed to her she set the magazine she was holding on fire.

"I'll take that as a yes."

But when it came down to traveling back in time, he wasn't sure if he should take her anymore. Not because he didn't trust her, but over the years he had learned that deep inside she was nothing more than a fragile little girl, one that was naive enough to trust the world over and over again. More importantly, he was well aware of his impulsive and violent tendencies when his overprotectiveness would kick in like a bull all he'd see is red. It was destructive, to say the least. It's not like he didn't enjoy her company, he did, being together uncovered a whole new side of her, a side of Y/N, one that wasn't Arson. Sure, she was still snappy and an a**, but that came along with the package, a bundle, a girl who would stay up all night with him, while he'd be working on the math. Making him coffee out of the blue, he never asked her to, even when he was craving it, she just knew. Another thing about her that made his heart beat like crazy was her sudden impulsive streaks of affection, he'd be sitting and reading in silence only for her to slam open the door and run to him, smothering his face with kisses then walk away as nothing had happened. He'd be making breakfast only to feel her wrap her arms around his waist, pressing her face on his back, muttering nonsense about a weird dream. She was no saint, but she had become the warmth of his life, the kindling fire of his joy. For someone who could speak multiple languages and had command of most literature of the century, she had her...as he'd call it, Diego moments.

"I can fry an egg in my hand."

"...we could use the stove-"

"Nonsense, observe."

"...was burning it part of the process-"

"Shut up the egg was bad. Oh, I'll toast the toast-"

"Please stop acting like a kitchen appliance."

"Funny how you don't say that when I warm up your coffee or your di-"

"OKAY THEN."

Due to these very specific reasons, he made up his mind as he looked at his beautiful wife, who had aged gracefully, asleep on her side of the bed. He was not going to take her. He knew he had promised to stay with her but the risk of putting her in any kind of danger would kill him. This is why he left her a sweet note, thanking her for spending her life with him, for loving him back, and how he was not going to risk the love of his for personal reasons. He told her he'd come back for her- if he lived through this. So he took a deep breath and jumped into the portal.

"Shit" he looked at his hands at his siblings who were still looking up at the portal, wair what- he looked up to

*Thump* 

He opened his eyes to find her sitting on top of him, "I'LL COME BACK FOR YOU? SWEET LITTLE ANGEL?" Gripping him by the collar she glared down at him, "YOU THINK I NEED YOU TO SAVE MY A- " she paused, staring at his face then  quickly getting off him and looking at her own hands and legs- "WHAT THE F*** FIVE?"

In the kitchen, the siblings were more terrified than confused by the way the two children in front of them were communicating. He was slapping things onto the table arguing with her as she sat there cross-legged, arms folded over her chest snapping back.

"Why did you follow me?" He seethed.

"Because you're stupid."

"Woman. How do I keep you safe if YOU FOLLOWED ME"

"OH AND leaving me in Dallas was a great idea- " she stopped to grab the slices of bread, toasting them with her hands and putting them back on the plate where he was smothering them with peanut butter.

"Number Five-"

"Just a minute Luther, I have to deal with this one first." He snapped at him and then turned to glare at her, "Just because I chose to dive into a volcano doesn't mean you do too"

"BITCH I WOULD THRIVE IN LAVA!

"NUMBER 5"

"WHAT LUTHER?"

Needless to say during the entire exchange with his siblings, she chose to stay out of it, eating quietly and then looking around the place, nice place, a weird arrangement but pretty chill actually, it was cold, and she liked it. 

"And this is my wife. Arson."

"Is your name really Arson?" Diego asked from the back, only to get snubbed by Five.

"No, but you don't need to know her actual name."

"Hey, one more question for the senior citizens," Klaus raised his hand, "Did you just use your hands as a toaster?"

"Yeh- Fire powers, heat, flames, lava, anything related."

"Nice."

"Well, time to go." with that he grabbed her hand and blinked them to his room. Only to turn around and frown at her, "I was serious about not following me, this is dangerous Y/N and I'm not gonna risk losing you or letting you get hurt-"

"Five, you can't wrap me up in bubble wrap." she muttered sitting on the bed and looking around, "Man, what kind of nerd has chalkboards for walls?"

He turned around to look at her, smiling at him, swinging her legs off the bed, knowing full well he couldn't stay mad at her for too long. "Just don't do anything reckless."

"Please, I never have".

As the days went by the siblings were very much disturbed by the way the couple worked, most of the time they'd see their brother losing his mind while she'd be casually looking around. Naturally, they assumed it was him who loved her more than the other way around, especially when Luther and Diego fought, the others noticed how he pulled her back, protecting her with his body, and even when Klaus had put himself in front of Five. It wasn't until the lab explosion that they really caught up on what she was actually like, especially when she diverted the flames back into the building, protecting Five from the fire. Or when she came to Diego when she was looking for Five after that explosion, claiming the two had fought.

"What- how did you find me?" he looked down at her, only for her to shrug and point at Luther who was sitting inside, "Followed the big guy, anyway, I need your help, I lost Five."

"He sure runs away from you a lot huh?" he snapped back, being his usual brooding self.

"Well, he has his ways of being 'protective', now after the explosion, he yelled at me, something along the lines of, 'we're all doomed and you followed me bla bla bla- and I can't find him," she said entering the small area, looking around and frowning at the heat, she'd roast in here. 

"Arson, if you don't mind me asking, why did you follow him to 2019?" Luther asked, standing up as he was ready to look for their brother.

"Because I'd die for that moron and lose my mind without him." earning a look from the brothers.

That being said, after they found the drunk idiot in the library, Luther was carrying him as he tilted his head back, staring at Y/N, "You know, you're a cute kid."

"Thank you, I am aware."

"But jump in front of me to save me again and I'll kill ya myself." with that he puked, earning a groan from Luther as she burst out laughing.

Though things started to go down south real quick, especially when they were in Leonard Peabody's house, attic to be accurate, staring at the dead body wrapped in a rug. Five and Y/N had just come back from the commission, and on their way out, she had possibly gotten shot. Not that she had time for that, they finally had a lead and that was more important, plus it wasn't that bad. Or so she thought because as they were staring at it, she fell backward, only to be caught by Diego muttering, "Shit, FIVE she's bleeding." On the way to the manor, she lay in the backseat, with her head on his lap, breaths getting shallower as she looked up at him, his forest orbs staring back at her with guilt. 

"Why didn't you say anything?" He whispered, this was all his fault, he should've known something was wrong with her. She had asked for his blazer (since she wore the uniform without the blazer and the sweater) as soon as they came back from the commission, of course, he was confused, she never felt cold, but he had given it to her anyway. Now she lay there in his arms, a shivering mess. 

"More...important things to do." She shivered, pulling the coat blazer, "I f-feel cold." 

"Diego! Hurry up" he hissed, pressing his hand against the wound that was still bleeding, glancing at her face, "stay awake for me okay? Can you do that love?"

By the time they had reached his room she was a shivering mess, he barely gave Grace room to stitch her back up, feeling the need to be with her was eating him up. Fortunately, Grace gave him a small smile before placing her hand on his shoulder, "She'll be alright dear." Everyone had left the room but Diego.

"Let her rest, Five, we should go and deal with this."

"I should've been more attentive."

"It's not your fault Five, none of us noticed."

"You know, she hasn't been using her powers much...wants you guys to like her." He sighed, covering her up with a blanket as he turned to Diego.

"I don't know about anyone else buddy, but I liked her the moment she came out of the portal and almost socked you in the face."

"Thanks, Diego."

So, Five and the siblings took care of the rest while she was told not to move a muscle by Five. Instructed to rest, fortunately, she agreed, as her body not being used to the cold was going to cause a problem. Nonetheless, when Vanya escapes the basement again, ready to attack everyone, Five blinked her out without waking her up. Which is why when she opens her eyes to their destroyed house she's just, "Please tell me I didn't black out again and do this?"

"No, this one's on us." Diego groaned as Klaus held onto him.

Nonetheless, when the time came they traveled back to 1963- dispersing, much to Five's displeasure. So, when he landed in the alley without her, he was very close to losing his mind. 

Luckily, he found Eliot, unfortunately, he wanted to smack himself when he realised where she had ended up, rather with whom.

She fell out of the portal to land on something soft with a thud. Sitting up she looked around in the alleyway only to hear someone groan under her, "You got a thing for assaulting us?" 

"Oh sorry, Diego." Getting off him she helped him, up then looked around, "I don't...see Five anywhere." She mumbled to herself, though he caught on.

"Stay here kid, " he stopped her with his hand, "I'll do a round then come and get ya"

"I'm literally 58."

"Yes, and in a child's body with a wound from a gunshot. So let's keep you safe, shall we, cause if Five did show up and you were dead, he'd put me through hell before killing me."

This exact conversation led the two to the asylum. He had gone to "save Kennedy" and when he didn't show up back in the alley she went to look for him.

Hissing, he dropped the knife, turning around to look at her, "Did you do that without touching it?" He asked, referring to the burning hot metal.

"What the F*** are you doing!?"

"Saving Kennedy-"

"YOU IDIOT. U CAN'T SAVE HIM WHEN THERE'S NO THREAT AND STOP MESSING WITH THE TIMELINE."

"Listen Arson, I'm doing the world a favor-"

"Oh my God, I'm stuck with the lunatic with a hero complex."

So, naturally, the two fought, and she ended up using her powers, trapping him in a ring of fire, hot enough to keep him warm and toasty, but not burn him. Unfortunately, when the authorities arrived, she had planned on escaping but the gunshot wound had begun to bleed again, she didn't understand why it was taking so long to heal, usually, she'd heal up quicker. Maybe her body's age recession pulled her back to the time when her body was weaker as well. Nonetheless, the cops arrived to find a tied-up Cuban man and an unconscious girl in a school uniform bleeding beside him. 

Therefore, when Diego walked into the small room after 76 days of being stuck there, he was glad to see Five, who in return sighed in relief.

"Hey Five, how'd you find me?"

"This...thanks for getting my wife in here too." He whispered to him, leaning  closer to the table, "Where is she?"

"Well, she burnt my fingertips and fainted- by the way she's using an alias, a nice name actually, Y/N"

"That's her actual name, you idiot. Now, what is this about Kennedy?"

"Wait what??"

After that wonderful interaction and him telling the guards about Diego trying to escape, he requested to meet her. Though the guards looked at the boy with some kind of pity, 

"You know the kid too?" One of them asked

"I do, why?"

"Kid had a gunshot wound, bleeding pretty bad when we found her, looked battered up in general- has a tattoo-"

"Do you examine female patients?" He cut him off, glaring at him.

"The female staff told us."

When she comes in she rushes to him to hug him, feeling him wrap his arms around her. The guard clears his throat, "You can't do that here."

"Yeah?" He asks before pointing behind the man, "Look at that fly on the wall would ya?"

He blinks them out as soon as the man looks away, the only reason he had asked for Diego first and not her was so he could check if the room had cameras- it did not. He had blinked them to Eliot's, still holding onto her, breathing in her scent as he felt her warm body against his. 

"I'm sorry for leaving you."

"As long as it wasn't on purpose." She muttered pulling away and looking around to find Eliot hiding behind the couch.

"Who is this??" He asked, only for them to ignore him. 

"Did they hurt you?" 

"No, actually took pretty good care of me, see" lifting her shirt a bit she showed him the wound that was now just a scar, "Turns out age recession affected my overall performance too, I can't heal as quickly as I usually do either."

"You know." He said as he led her to sit on a chair, "You could have gone to a hospital," whispering he crouched down to her level, scanning her face then lower, clicking his tongue. "Need to get you clothes too- Eliot, I would like for you to get my companion a uniform, preferably with pants-"

"Skirt." She cut him off sheepishly, avoiding his gaze, mumbling, "Hormonal changes make everything hot."

"A u-uniform? Of which school?"

"Any."

"But why?"

Five gave him a stare only for him to nod and quickly leave. Turning around he looked at her and sighed, going to sit on the couch, groaning. "So tired." He muttered as he closed his eyes, only to snap open when he felt her by his side, arms wrapping around his torso as she buried her face in his neck. "I missed you." Placing an arm over her shoulder he hummed, "Lost my shit when I couldn't find you."

"Well, I thought of leaving a trail, but Diego's Kennedy obsession had me follow him there. Had to keep him under control- the man has no regard for rules of time traveling or anything-"

She was cut off by his laughter, utterly confused she pulled away glaring at him, "what's so funny?"

"Look at you, following the rules, cleaning up someone's mess." He said turning to look at her with a smirk, "Y/N, I'm so proud of you, acting like Diego's moral compass"

"Haha. Very funny. Oh, and he has this weird chic around him- totally using him for something if I wasn't so tired the time, would've burnt her to a crisp."

"And we're back." He chuckled, grabbing her face and pecking her forehead, "I'm glad you're okay, darlin."

Nonetheless, when Diego did show up with Lila, to say she got along with the older couple was an overstatement. Neither trusted her nor did they like working with her. Five particularly began to despise her when they went to look for their father but were greeted by the Swedes. 

Naturally, she went to help Five, using her powers to the minimum, to avoid any kind of fire accident. What was surprising was when Lila came upstairs she chose to help Five instead of Diego, running down when he blinked out even though Diego had called her.

"Shit." Y/N ran to save Diego, knocking the man off him, "Nice girlfriend, tell him your brother's taken." She snapped at him, too distracted to notice the incoming blow.

"FIVE STOP! It's not his fault I was distracted and-" She yelled pulling at him with one hand as he charged towards Deigo. She had snapped her wrist in the process and now at Eliot's place, Five was giving Diego a piece of his mind. The rest of the siblings had shown up as well- somewhat amused by the scenario.

"Y/N! This is between me and my brother", he turned to look at her, "so stay out of it please." He whispered before turning back to Diego, "you're unbelievable-" he stopped only when he saw Y/N run out of the building. He had assumed he had pissed her off, hence he followed her.

He had initially lost her, only to hear a loud explosion. Blinking to the abandoned factory he made his way through the smoke, only to Y/N standing face to face with the Handler. Behind the blonde was Lila, gripping onto her arm, which was possibly burnt due to the explosion.

"Ah, Arson, you never really were controllable".

"Lost my mojo for a while, but your copycat knock-off pissed me off enough to bring it back." 

"Oh? No wonder you weren't burning people to ashes in 2019-"

"Don't tempt me, I'll show you two a glimpse of hell right now."

"I'd love to see that but right now," the lady looked behind Y/N with a creepy smile, "and there he is, the star of the show."

When they were told to kill the board, both agreed since they were getting a briefcase in return. However, Five had asked her- forced her- to stay back while he would handle it, much to her displeasure.

"No."

"Please."

"But I got my powers back too- like fully I mean-"

"Listen to me. You came back because of me, got shot because of me, look at yourself now, it's because of me. I promised to give you a better life and keep you safe and so far, Y/N I haven't. Please, just, stay put- keep an eye on my siblings but just stay here okay?"

"You have given me all you promised...that's why I followed you in the first place."

So, when Five returned with the briefcase, all bloody and in a hurry, he was greeted by the absence of most of his siblings. Where he was busy with his monologue about how stupid all of them were, she thought for a moment before speaking up, "Well, we could always...you know...meet you."

"W-what?" he groaned before sighing, stomping inside the building as Y/N and Luther followed him, "What's he doing?" Luther asked as Five poured a bottle of baby powder down his shirt and then pants.

"Preventing Paradox Psychosis, that would explain why he's been extra jumpy, I thought it was because you met with your father, then I saw the date."

"Luther, I need ya to be my spotter."

Five did not expect to see his younger self sitting in front of him, let alone his wife, who too was a teenager now, sitting beside his other self. Other than the occasional farts being let out the two were staring at each other for a good fifteen minutes until the older-looking one spoke, 

"Arson, what happened to your arm?"

"You can call me by my name, Luther knows it, they all do- got it while fighting."

"I guess we had one job that we couldn't do."

"Guess we couldn't" the younger one snapped, "Now be a good husband and help your wife out, would ya."

"Why should I, you'd just hurt her more."

"You literally left your wife a note and dipped, you don't get to comment."

"Said wife sitting right here, a**hats."

He excused himself to go to the washroom, only for her to do the same after a few seconds. Though Five is too paranoid to care about that at the moment, he looks at Luther and tells him how he doesn't trust himself.

She came into the washroom when he was washing his hands, only to stop and glare at her, eyes softening at the sight of her sling, sighing, "You should've stayed."

"You knew I wouldn't, yet you wrote that sweet dumb note."

"You know what I'll have to do right?" He asked, standing up straighter as he looked at her in the eye, only to sense her body radiating heat at an abnormal rate, "You can't even control your powers in that body-"

"I can, you're just pissing me off."

"Why do you do it," he sighed, grabbing the briefcase, only for her to shrug calming down, "Guess I love ya."

"Isn't that music to my ears." with that he brushed past her and out of the toilet.

While they're on their way, Five screaming at every passing being, Luther looks at Y/N clearing his throat, "So, he uh, said he'd kill you two." Only for her to nod, "Well, he can kill himself easy, it'd be fun to see him try to kill me."

"Well, he did say you're an anomaly" Luther stated as a matter of fact.

"Son, I burnt down an entire battalion in front of your brother, and a year later he proposed to me- trust me, I am the bug that corrupted his morality." Luther stopped and stared at her, she was smiling back at him as innocently as possible, "Oh don't worry, I'm passed that phase, though I wouldn't test me." 

When the fight broke out between the Fives, Luther trying to stop them asked Y/N to help, who thought it would be really funny to stand between the two fives. Both stopped their hit mid-air, glaring at her, earning a look from both of them. "You thinking what I'm thinking." the younger one asked the older one who nodded, only for the younger five to grab her and blink her back to the bar and blink back to continue the fight.

"Now, where were we?"

Once the older one was pushed into the portal, the younger Five looked at Luther, about to speak, when something flew past him like a meteor- while Luther backed off, Five could swear that time slowed down and he stared at his older-looking wife for a good minute, both exchanging a confused look as she flew in the blue portal, closing in after she was gone. 

"What was that?" Luther asked only for Five to mutter out, "My wi-" a blurry figure knocking him down, "HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YA TO NOT LEAVE ME BEHIND?" she asked, getting off of him.

"The real question is, how many ways can you shoot yourself like a rocket?" He asked as Luther helped him up.

"Several, why?"

"Did you throw yourself into the portal like the Human Torch back then?"

"Of course Five, I've told you multiple times, I'd set anything you love on fire."

"And that includes you?"

"Well, you do love me." She said kicking the vaporized briefcase, muttering a f*** under her breath, as she turned to look at him giving him that heart-stopping smile of hers, "Because I'll kill ya if you changed your mind."

"I assure you, sweetheart, that won't change even if you set the whole world on fire," was all he said as he grabbed her uninjured hand and began to walk away from the scene, they were officially f***ed but at least one thing was clear- he finally figured out what the hell love meant, 'the burning passion that makes one forget how everything's f***ed'.

Poor Luther, however, had no idea what the hell that exchange was, however, he was certain about one thing, Y/N wasn't insane alone, his brother was no better. Well, at least they were together, he thought to himself as he followed the couple holding hands, talking about how they'll probably be dead pretty soon. He was glad though, that Diego was right, once they had met in Dallas again, he had told him how Y/N would count down the days, convincing Diego that Five would come for them. Perhaps this was true love, not that he knew what love actually was- guess he was glad at least one of his siblings found one that lasts.

A/N: Yes, this was supposed to be a simple HC , but I kinda lost control okay- I wasn't in the best of moods lately and writing this just was an emotional roller coaster. I'm so sorry @madelynmulford , I really do hope you like it <3

HIGHWAY TO HELL: RUN BOY RUN ⁺˚⋆｡°✩₊ ⁺˚⋆｡°✩₊ ⁺˚⋆

NOTES: AU, GLIDED ACADEMY, RUTH IS MY FAVORITE, FIVE HAGREEVES IS A ASSHOLE, RUTH MEETS HIM AGAIN, THEY ARE LITTERALLY THE SAME PERSON, OFFHAND FLIRTING? (its like one or two comments), RUTH INSULTS EVERYONE, SHE MEETS KLAUS AGAIN, SHE DOESN’T MENTION HER POWERS, FIVE IS SUSPICOUS, BLOOD AND GORE WARNING, MENTIONS TOWARDS AUTISTIC TENDENICS, RUTH HAS AUTISM, FOLLOWS THE ORGINAL PLOT OF TUA BUT WITH SLIGHT LORE CHANGES, RUTH HAS ACOHOL PROBLEMS, LEWD JOKES, KLAUS BEING NICE TO RUTH. KLAUS AND RUTH HAVE A LITTLE ‘LUNCH DATE’ AND TALK.

Ruth grunted and whined when her portal abilties were still offline. No matter how many times she tried to create a portal, it didn’t work. She was currently sitting on the couch in the longue or living room.

“Oh..” A familar, tired and yet sober voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

Ruth flipped her position up on the couch so she could see. It was Noel, and she had a suitcase with her. She frowned slightly before noticing Ruth.

“One day late to the party, Noel.” The teenage looking girl quiped as she shuffled around on the couch.

Another small sound raidated from the zombie looking girl. She looked utterly exhausted. Her long white hair was in a low ponytail but still looked ratted. She obviously wasn’t taking good care of herself.

Her frame was inceribly scrawny, bones. And the other more human looking girl squinted and scowled at all the bandages on her. Some looked old but some looked more new.

“What’s up with all the bandages?” She decided to be blunt.

The girl with the large sweater on only scowled before grimnacing slightly. It was a rytheorical question, one the younger looking girl already knew the answer to. But she knew that Noel wouldn’t answer.

“Did..did the others already leav-?” They started, coming a little further into the room as their eyes focused on her.

“Leave? No. Well, not that I know of. Violet, and Celeste aren’t here. I didn’t even think you would show up.” She answered before trailing off slightly.

An akward silence greeted the two techincal siblings. Ruth and Noel never talked much as children. Or even when they decided to go their sepreate ways and move out. Being back in the academy brought on a almost..painful..nostaglia.

The idea that most of glided academies childhood was lived in shadowed innocence. They all had time to have memories and bound with one another.

Ruth and Noel’s only memories of ‘bonding’ was when Ruth would help her with panic attacks and injuries.

“Who said I wasn’t here?” A quiet yet teasing voice asked.

Both the tan skinned girl and Noel nearly jumped out of their positions and skin. In the very doorway and barely in the room was Violet Pirce. She had a nice smile but teasing as she mainly looked at Ruth.

“Oh my god! Violet- what the fuck!” The amber eyed girl blinked a couple times before groaning.

Violet was a shy and angel looking girl. Her blue eyes were light and yet dull. They crinkled up, revealing red marks under her eyes. She was wearing a blue, almost dress fitting top with lace detailing and long sleeves.

She also had dark blue washed out jeans over her lower legs. They sunk slightly underneath her shoes but no one said anything.

Her blonde hair was in it’s natural braided bun state.

“I mean, I just got here, but still-!” Violet rambled slightly before rolling her eyes with drama.

She entered the room further, her own suitcase being dragged behind her. The girl on the couch only adjusted her posture and frame before looking at the two people with a deadpan, mouth turned to the side.

“Next thing I know, Celeste is going to waltz through the door.” She sarcasitcally said before scoffing and leaning back.

Violet only cringed slightly at the name of the only missing sister. Not to mention, their number one.

“Do..do you really think she’s gonna’ show up?” Noel decided to ask, tilting his head slightly.

Ruth only groaned before smoothly lifting her posture and getting off the couch. She took a few steps near the fireplace before placing her hands in her blazer pockets.

“Obviously not. Celeste isn’t showing up. She never will.” She spat, annoyance clear in her voice before brushing shoulders with Violet and walking past them and towards the door.

“Your leaving again?” Violet asked, blue eyes watching as the pink haired girl was by the door.

No response. Just the sound of the door shutting behind her. The blonde haired girl sighed before turning towards the white-nette.

“Seems like she’s still moody as ever..” She quietly said, weakely laughing afterwards.

The green eyed sibling only made a almost offended expression. His eyebrows were furrowed and his facical features were scrunched up. This made the other blink before furrowing her own eyebrows.

“What? Did I say something?” She tilted her head as she took a step closer.

“Did you really have to mention Celeste?” She quietly asked in return.

Violet only made a baffled expression as she furrowed her eyebrows further. Was it really her fault? Had she messed up? But didn’t Ruth bring up the topic of Celeste first?

“It’s not my fault, Noe’-!” She tried to start, but cringing at her wording.

“Don’t call me that.” She was quickly shut down by Noel, the said woman shooting her another glance before shaking her head and walking away.

Her suitcase came with her intow, making a clacking noise. She made creaking noises as she also walked up the stairs, presumming to unpack.

The now left alone girl scowled and bit her bottom lip. A feeling of both annoyance and longing built up in her. Why couldn’t she just get along with people? Even Ruth, who she was aleast somewhat close to didn’t want anything to do with her.

She looked down at her shoes as her hands clentched into fists. She could feel herself flick in and out of being visible, before turning invisible.

No one wanted to see her in the first place.

Ruth sighed before walking past a large building. It was Meritech, she really wasn’t paying attention. It was rather sunny out, but not uncomfortable. Some people shot her looks and she only furrowed her eyebrows at them.

But she immeditally felt her breath lurch as she saw a familar figure. Brown hair, emerled eyes and uniform. Holy shit, it was him.

He had a annoyed scowl on his face, and he clutched something in his hand. His eyes were infront of him and flicked around before landing on Ruth.

She felt her heart stop and she cringed immensly. She immeditally whipped around before walking away quickly, borderline jogging. She couldn’t just walk towards him, and using her abillity would cause another whole layer of shit.

She cringed as she heard voices whisper, was he seriously following her?! She hurried her pace, turning into a alleyway. Somewhere out of place where she could use her portals, if they agreed to work.

A faint woosh sound was heard infront of her and a flash of blue light. She stummbled back slightly and blinked multiple times.

“Hey, school girl.” A sarcastic, and annoyed voice was heard.

Ruth had to bite back the urge to groan. There he was in all his glory, the male with brown hair narrowed his eyes at her.

“Oh, it’s you.” She made sure to add some spite onto that last word.

Her hands shoved and clentched tightly into her blazer pockets. She glanced at the male as he rolled something in his right hand inbetween his fingers. Speaking of, he had really nice hands-

‘Focus Ruth’

“Yeah. Now-!” He smiled sarcastically before vanishing with a faint sound.

The amber eyed female blinked hard before looking around. She had observed his powers the other day, but didn’t get enough time to really adjust.

She made a ‘ack!’ sound as her collar was grabbed and she was forced aganist the alleywall. He was slightly taller then her, so her collar was lifted slightly.

“Why didn’t you report me to the police? I can’t help but find that odd.” He inquired, green eyes narrowed carefully as his hands tightened even further.

She only scoffed slightly, one eye shut from the pressure on her collar. Her eyes flicked across his face before she flashed a quick and annoyed smile.

“Yeah, run to the police..don’t be stupid..reporting a teenage boy in schoolboy shorts who probably murdered over ten or more people in the middle of a donut shop..sounds a little insane…” She scoffed before manging to shove him off of her.

She wrapped her fingers around her throat and collar slightly. She brushed off her blazer and adjusted her blazer and tie before looking at him.

“Plus, I have no dobut that the police has already investagiated it. They probably already started a case.” She added on before scowling and rubbing her tired eyes.

The boy only made a noise simaliar to a grunt. She wasn’t sure if he understood her point or not, but she didn’t say anything else.

“Glided academy, huh? What’s that?” Ruth tensed up at the question.

Shit. He didn’t know about her powers, obviously. And defentily not the ‘academy’ she belonged to. And the fact that he was part of the umbrella academy was even worse.

“A private academy. You wouldn’t know about it.” She quickly said, holding her breath slightly.

He only hummed again, squinting his eyes at her. She wasn’t sure if he believed it or not, but it was good enough to believe that he bought it. But something was strange.

Five Hargreeves was an asshole.

Her childhood crush was an asshole.

Surprsingly, in the few glimpses of the umbrella academy kid comics and magienzenes her and her siblings read, he didn’t seem like a asshole. At least, not from the small little ‘profile’ bits they had on their pictures and pages.

“Well, I can’t just have you walking around with that. And in all honesty, your kind of shady.” He said before adimitting with a head tilt and his hands shoved into his pockets.

“Excuse me?!” Ruth blinked a couple times before scowling slightly at his ‘observation.’

“Your excused.” He bitterly smiled before dropping it and taking his left hand out of his pocket and rubbing his temple.

She only scowled deeper, feeling her hands tighten in her pockets. But what he said next, almost made her shit her pants.

“Your coming with me.” He bluntly said, while looking at her with a bland expression.

The girl blinked a couple times yet again before recoiling. What the hell?! She didn’t want to hang out with this teenage boy who looked to be a godamn serial killer!

“Uh, no.” She deadpanned and spoke with a bland yet strict tone of voice.

He only raised his eyebrows and tilted his head slightly. She honestly wanted to snap his neck right then and there.

“I don’t recall saying it as a question.” He pondered.

She only took a couple steps back before crossing her arms. Five Hargreeves was being a total entilted brat. Where did he get that attitude from? From being in a world famous academy?!

She hated to break it to him, but he wasn’t the only kid with powers in this world. And not in NYC either.

“I don’t care, find someone else to bother.” She hissed before getting ready to turn around and leave.

But she was surprised by a hand being placed on her lower arm, near her wrist. She turned around and saw him holding her wrist before grabbing her tightly. And just like that, a bright blue worble of light incircled them.

Ruth and Five appeared in what seemed to be a room. It had a bed, bland green walls with what looked like faded calculations. Whoever lived in here, they had no sense of style.

Ruth immeditally peeled away from him and held her stomach. A feeling simaliar to being pulled through a collapsing portal filled her throat and stomach. She surely thought she was about to throw up.

“What the fuckkkk’..” She groaned out, stummbling some more before finally ground herself.

The green eyed male only watched her with a unimpressed expression on his face. When she finally stopped stummbling around like a drunk person, she came face to face with him. Her left hand was rubbing her temple, she scowled at him.

“What the hell did you do?!” She angrily asked, only making him snort slightly in amusement.

“Spacical jumped us to my room, in the umbrella academies resting place.” He looked at her like she was stupid.

“What the hell is wrong with y-!”

She was shut up by the male rolling his eyes and sighing before dissapering in a flash of blue light again. She scowled, crossing her arms before immeditally blinking when he was suddenly infront of her face.

Her arms fell loosely to her sides and she could feel her tan face heat up slightly. Although, she didn’t think he noticed. But he wasn’t too close, just enough where she could get a better look at his green eyes.

“Listen to me. My sister is going to come in here wondering where I am, and why I left. Just don’t say anything dumb. Matter of fact, don’t say anything at all.” He demanded in a low and serious tone of voice.

The amber eyed girl felt her eye twitch multiple times. She didn’t like to be treated like she was stupid. She was pretty sure her observation skills and knowledge was at least on par with this asshole.

She didn’t say anything though, because as soon as a familar figure stummbled into what she assume to be Five’s room, she was confused. It was a guy she reconqized- oh holy shit, fuck her, it was the guy from the pawn shop.

“Five-oh! It’s you!” He started finally getting his barings, before whipping towards the pink haired girl.

His eyes looked at it, murky. He was clearly on something, unsurprising due to the question she asked him the other day. Her own eyes flicked across his frame, she had to bite back a cringe.

“Wait, wait, you two know each other?” Five leaned forward with his hands in his pockets, a confused yet curious expression on his face.

“We met yesterday.” The girl blurted out.

“-At the pawn shop! Honestly, I didn’t expect Five to find you. Speaking of, what are the terms for this job you asked me for Fiv-!” He added on before rambling.

But before he could contuine, a faint voice calling the said teenager’s name made everyone tense up. It looked like the brown haired male panicked slightly before hissing at the drug addict;

“Hurry! Get in the closet!” He hissed, making a quick motion.

Ruth blinked, baffled as Klaus whined a little but his younger looking brother just shoved him in there. He turned to her, fixing his blazer before tilting his head.

“Five? Are you upstairs?” The same tired and sad sounding voice called.

The pink haired girl felt a pang in her chest as she heard the voice. Why? Was it because she sounded like Noel?

She tensed up as the person calling out entered the room. She had straight, but soft looking dark hair. It was up in a bun, and her features looked completly exhausted. She was wearing a big jacket ontop of a collared shirt and pants. It also seemed like she was carrying something on her back.

She sighed, eyes focused on the male.

“Oh thank god, I was worried sick about you.” She breathed out, concern in her voice.

Five simply glanced at her, looking away from the tan skinned girl and window. His hands were in his pockets as he looked over his shoulder.

“Sorry I left without saying goodbye..” He said, his voice sounding lower and softer.

The woman only frowned but her eyes shifted over to amber ones. She jolted slightly, surprised she didn’t notice her earlier. Her eyebrows furrowed and she looked towards her brother in confusion.

“Oh right, This is Vanya. Vanya, meet…?” He just now relized he had basically kidnapped the girl and didn’t even get her name.

She scowled before crossing her arms on her chest.

“Ruth. Ruth Pirce.” She simply said, finishing off his sentence.

It looked like Five raised his eyebrows at the name. He also looked like he was going to say something else, but halted it. What? Was he judging her name? Like his was any better! He was litterally named after a number!

And something else was bothering her. In all of the TV and glimpses she had gotten of the umbrella academy, she had only counted six members. She never recalled there being a seventh.

The tired looking woman only flashed a smile before dropping it when she looked back at her brother.

“No, look, I’m the one that should be sorry. Yeah, I was dissmissive..and..I..I guess I didn’t know how to process what you were saying..I still can’t to be honest.” She stummbled out any apology, before frowning and fiddling with her hands.

The brown haired male only furrowed his eyebrows slightly. He seemed to want to say something, but he simply slid his hands into his pockets. He tapped his foot on the ground before making a ‘tsk’ sound as he opened his mouth.

“Well..maybe you were right to be dissmissive.” He said, walking a little closer to her.

Ruth had no fucking clue what the two were talking about. But it seemed like something important. Then again, she was never one to bluntly ask questions.

Five made a sound simaliar to a scoff before contuining.

“Maybe it wasn’t real afterall.” He huffed before shaking his head.

“It felt real, anyway. Well..like you said, the old man did always say time travel could contaminate the mind.” He said, before flashing a grin.

‘Time travel?’ The tan skinned teenager thought, furrowing her eyebrows.

She knew time travel was a real thing. Being stuck in a collapsing portal rift had tought her alot. Espically about time, even though when she finally got back, she was messy and still stuck in her sixteen year old body.

The brown haired woman only frowned, eyes looking away from him. She seemed much more shy then the girl would’ve thought.

“Well then..maybe I’m not the right person for you to be talking to. I used to see someone, a therapist. I could give you her information.” She offered, seeming geniuley concerned for her brother.

The amber eyed girl pressed her lips into a firm line and she glanced at the other teenage looking boy. His expression almost looked taken aback, maybe even a little offended. He quickly blinked before looking at the floor and at her with another sarcastic smile.

“Thanks but..I think I’m just gonna’ get some rest. It’s been awhile since I’ve gotten a good sleep.” He glanced over at his bed with a soft look before nodding at her.

She seemed to slump over slightly, clearly not happy. She only looked back at him, probably knowing he wasn’t going to do that. But she simply sighed before exiting the room.

“Okay..” She simply breathed out before leaving sight and going down the staircase.

It looked like Five turned to the pink-nette, and was about to say something but didn’t. As when he opened his mouth, the closet doors that Klaus hid behind stummbled open.

She jolted slightly as items clattered out of it. She blinked a couple times before looking at his outfit.It was a teal and orange buttoned up flare blouse and pants. She only grimnaced slightly at the color choices, not her taste.

“That’s so-!” He was cut off by taking a big breath of air as he finally stood, with his hands placed on his chest.

“-Touching! All that stuff about family, Dad and time! Wow!” He pretended to be actually moved by his brother and his sisters moment.

“Can I leave now?” The brown eyed female finally decided to speak, annoyed and looking at the teenage looking boy.

He only turned to her slightly, glancing at Klaus and then her. He turned to her fully and shoved his hands in his pockets again, and with a sarcastic smile, he said:

“Absoutetly not.”

She felt a scowl come across her face, and her body tensed up. She could feel her hands curl into fists as she looked at the male in frustration, coming a little closer.

“Why the hell not?” She hissed, clearly over this bullshit.

“Because I need you.” He simply said, before looking towards his brother.

‘More like you don’t want me to run to the godamn cops, asshole.’ She thought, feeling her eye twitch.

Klaus contuined rambling about something rather loudly, and Five was getting annoyed.

“Would you both shut up? She’ll hear you!” He hissed, glancing at mainly the dirty blonde but sparing a glance at Ruth.

“I’m moist.” Klaus whined, throwing his arms back.

“…” Five and Ruth shared a distrubed look.

The brown haired male only sighed, shaking his head slightly. He pinched the bridge of his nose before doing a quick up and down of Klaus.

“I thought I told you to put on something professional.” He gestured towards the man’s outfit.

He looked a little insulted and frowned. His frame slumped over slightly and he raised his hands as he gestured towards it himself.

“What? This is my nicest outfit!” He said, frowning.

Before the pink-nette could say anything, a hand cupped around her wrist. She glanced over at the green eyed male as he only made a unimpressed face at his brother. He pinched the bridge of his nose with a free hand before waving a hand and walking out of the room with the girl in tow.

Klaus only groaned before following him shortly after. They stopped near a smaller staircase.

“As long as I get paid.” He huffed, the teenage looking girl had a good idea of what the money was for.

“When the job is done.” The younger looking male curtly responded.

He was about to start walking down the stairs, but the drug addict raised his hands. Almost as if he was making a ‘wait a second’ motion.

“Okay, but just so were clear on the finer detailsss’, I just gotta’ go into this place and pretend to be your dear old dad, correct?” He drawled out the words before asking.

The ladder’s only looked at him, Ruth more confused then the other. They were both turned around and looking at him now. Although, his right hand was still firmly around her wrist.

“Yeah, something like that.” The boy replied blandly.

The bigger concern that Ruth had, why did she have tl be along for this?! She had no idea what they were talking about or where they were even going.

“What’s our cover story?” The older male asked again as he tilted his head slightly with his hands clasped.

‘Cover story? Where the hell are we going?! The club?!’ She thought, sarcastically and concerned in her head.

Even the male holding her wrist seemed confused. His eyebrows furrowed and he tilted his head slightly. Before raising his eyebrows and making a baffled expression.

“What? What are you talking about?” He questioned, voice breathly as he mummbled.

“I mean, was I really young when I had you? Like 16-?” Ruth made a face (because her apperance was that of a sixteen year old.)

“-..Like young..and terribly misguided?” Klaus contuined.

The brown haired male didn’t seem amused, maybe even a little baffled. He only shrugged before answering.

“Sure.” He said simply, expression unamused.

“Your mother, that slut!” He suddenly spat out, making Ruth jolt slightly and due a double take.

She saw Five snicker at the baffled look on her face. She wanted to whipe that stupid small smile off of his face.

“Whoever she was. We met attttt’..the disco!” He shook his head before throwing it back and trailing off before snapping his fingers.

The short haired girl was honestly flabbergasted. This guy obviously was fucked up. But maybe his joking and non-serious personality was because of the drugs? Well, she knew he did them due to his response at the pawn shop.

“Okay? Remeber that!” He laughed slightly before pointing his finger at the two.

He snapped his fingers again and made a distrubing motion as his hands trailed down his body. And groaned slightly.

“Oh, my god. That sex was amazinngggg..” He groaned out, swaying slightly.

Both of the other’s exchanged a distrubed look. He seemed more unimpressed then the girl. As a bead of sweat rolled down her cheek, and her tan skin was a shade paler.

He simply looked away after a moment and scoffed.

“What a distrubing glimpse into that thing you call a brain.” He insulted, before heading down the stairs, dragging Ruth next to him.

Klaus simply scampered after them and pointed a finger at him.

“Don’t make me put you in time-out!” He threatened.

The three simply exited the academy, Five and Ruth heading towards a van. Although, she felt the male looking at her a couple times.

“What?” She scowled and looked at him.

“Ruth, huh?” He rythorically said, seeming to want to say something about her name.

“What about it?” She hissed, clearly not in the mood to try and figure out what he was thinking.

“Sounds like a old ladies name.” He bluntly responded, seemingly not phased by her agression.

She felt her amber eye twitch some. Like he had anywhere to make fun of her name! He didn’t even have a proper name! Unlike his brother!

“You litterally have a number for a name, don’t talk.” She spat, furrowing her eyebrows and glaring.

He blinked, before wanting to say something. The van was close and a few more steps they would enter. But before he could say anything in defense, Klaus shoved in-between them.

“Okay, break it up children! Your father demands it!” He demanded before snickering slightly.

Ruth, only scoffed, shoving past him. She entered the back of the van as the older male took the passengers seat. The teenage looking boy also took the drivers seat. And they took off without another word.

To say that Ruth Pirce was surprised was an understatement. They had entered meritech, a place that made prostectics for disabled people. Five had dragged his brother in her in, and now they were in a doctors office.

A middle-aged man, blonde hair, blue eyes, overweight. He had a basic lab coat on and looked like a doctor. He leaned back in his chair and in his clean office.

It was almost perfectly clean, and when she looked out the clear windows, she saw her reflection. But she looked down and immeditally looked away, fear of heights was a bitch. The junkie’ was sitting slouched in a seat as the teeange looking boy had let go of her finally.

“Like I said to your son earlier, any information about the prosthectics we build is strictly confidental.” He blandly replied, looking at the trio infront of him.

The only information the girl had about any of this, is that Five was trying to get information out of the guy. Apprently he had found an eye and wanted to know who it belonged to.

Yeah, that wasn’t creepy at all.

“Without the client’s consent, I simply cannot help you.” He cockily replied, she didn’t like this doctors tone.

In fact, he seemed awfully keen to not tell them. Not like she had any invested intrest in this, but he was getting on her nerves. But she was snapped out of the nasty look she was sending him by Five slamming his hands down on the doctor’s desk and leaning towards him.

“Well, we can’t get consent if you don’t give us a name.” He hissed, clearly getting pissed off as he glared at the adult.

“Well that’s not my problem..Sorry, now there’s really nothing more I can do, so..” He seemed awfully keen on trying to make the trio leave as he raised his eyebrows.

Ruth finally had to say something, this doctor was pissing her off. She walked beside the green eyed male and scowled, body tense.

“That makes no fucking sense. Just go to the client and ask them for consent. And then come back here and tell us, asshole.” She made a tapping her head agressivly gesture.

She saw both of the brothers make a taken aback face. What? Was it not obvious she was a agressive person before? This doctor had no common sense.

The male, now wearing a black pinstripped suit and loose dress pants. He cleared his throat and made the three look at him.

“And what about my consent?” He rythorically asked, tone offended.

“Excuse me?” The male in the rolling chair behind the desk asked, confused.

“Who..gave you..permisson-..” He started, but then everyone was more confused when he started tearing up.

“To put your hands..on my son..and his adorable girlfriend?!” He sobbed, pointing to the two teenagers in uniforms.

The tan skinned female was completly flabbergasted. She knew he was suposed to be posing as Five’s dad, but girlfriend?! When was that even apart of the plan?!

The two exchanged looks, she mouthed angrily,

‘Girlfriend?!’ She mouthed but he simply looked away and with the doctor they both questioned.

“What?” They both breathelessy said, Five more confused.

“You heard me.” Klaus spat, leaning forward in his chair slightly.

“I didn’t touch your son..or his girlfriend.” The female felt her annoyance only growing every time someone adressed her as the asshole’s girlfriend.

The curly haired male only scoffed slightly and stummbled to his feet. It was clear he was on something. Secretly, she wished she had some vodka or a edible right now.

“Oh really? Then how did he get that swallowen lip then? Oh- and his poor love, how did she get that bruise on her cheek?!” He sarcastically asked.

Both of the teenagers shared another look. The doctor even glanced at them, only to see two skin clear faces looking back at him.

“He doesn’t have a swollen li-!” He was cut off by the older looking brother sending a punch towards his brother.

The girl felt her mouth drop open slightly as his head turned harshly. He grunted slightly, before looking at Klaus while touching his now busted open bottom lip.

What the hell was wrong with this family.

But before she could stare at him more, a harsh punch was throwen towards her left cheek. His rings slightly scratched her too, and she also grunted a little at the pain. Her hands flew to her throbbing and aching cheek, and she sent a nasty, veomnous look at the male who had punched her.

He only glanced at her before placing his hands on the desk and leaning towards the doctor. Who, now, by the way, seemed terrifed.

“I want it. Name, please. Now.” He breathed out sharply.

The chubby man seemed taken aback, mouth hanging open slightly. Before he pointed a finger at him and breathelessy said;

“Your crazy.”

The dirty blonde haired adult only laughed under his breath, shaking his head slightly.

“You’ve got no idea.” He assured before looking at a snowglobe on the doctors desk

It was near the edge, Ruth didn’t really get a good look at it. But from what she saw, it had a earth figure and sparkles all around and floating in it.

“‘Peace on earth-‘“ She assumed that’s something it had written on it. “That’s so sweet!”

The pink-nette’s gasp that came out of her mouth couldn’t be stopped when the adult picked up the thing. His head slammed into it and glass and water filled with sparkles went everywhere.

She also saw Five out of the corner of her eye, blink rapidly. She looked away though when he looked her way, they had enough of shared glances already.

“That’s gotta’ hurt..” She winced and cringed under her brearh as a startling amount of blood started running down Klaus’s face from his forehead.

She honestly wouldn’t even be suprised if he was concused by that. But maybe the drugs helped lessen the pain. But that theory was taken off the table as his hands clenched on it and he shut his eyes tightly, making a pain expression.

“God, that hurt!” He groaned and yelled slightly, before shaking his face and head slightly.

The male behind the desk simply stared in horror. His hand reached for the phone and he quickly dialed a number into it.

“I’m calling secur-!” He was panickly cut off by the bleeding blonde as he snatched the phone out of his grip.

“What are you doing?!” He panickly asked Klaus, who seemed to be catching his breath.

The blonde simply gasped for air before speaking into the phone. He was still leaning over the male’s white desk.

“There’s..been an assault in Mr. Bigs office! And we need security , now! SCHNELL!!” He breathlessy said into the phone before yelling that last part and lazily slamming the phone into the reciver.

The girl in the red uniform simply flicked her eyes across the room. But she was taken aback when she saw a smirk whine itself onto Five’s face. What the hell was going on?!

“Now, here’s what’s gonna’ happen Grant..” He adressed the ladder by the wrong name.

“It’s..Lance..” He hesitantely corrected the addict, but he simply waved him off.

“In about 60 seconds, two security guards are going to burst through that door. And then they’re gonna’ see a whole alot of blood on the floor, and they’re gonna’ wonder, ‘what the hell happened?’” He gave a basic rundown of what was about to happen.

A light bulb went off in the girl’s head. They were setting him up, blackmailing him, forcing his hand. Whatever, it was all the same thing.

“And we’re gonna’ tell them-..” He cut himself off by sniffling and using a heartbroken tone.

“That you..beat the shit out of us..” He raised his hands before stummbling away from the desk with a smile.

The green eyed teenagers smile only grew. He gazed at his brother, expression something Ruth couldn’t read.

“Your gonna’ do great in prison Grant. Trust me, I’ve been there!” He reassured, with a sigh and smile.

Ruth wasn’t surprised he had been in jail before. But she was curious how long he was in there for.

“A little piece of chicken like you..oh my god, your gonna’ get passed around like a..-” He cut himself off as he started doing a spin motion with his hips.

All of the other three only shared a look. Why was the brown haired boy still smirking?! His brother was litterally bleeding and acting like a physco’! This wasn’t that amusing!

She made another face but looked back at the grey eyed male as he sighed again. He stopped doing to vulgar motion and slumped slightly.

“Your just..Your gonna’ do great, that’s all I’m saying..” He tried to reassure, even though she knew that was FAR from what he was saying.

“Jesus, your a real sick bastard.” Lance or ‘Grant’ spit out with a horrifed facial expression, paling slightly.

The drug addict simply looked proud. He turned his head slightly and the pink-nette made a face when he spit out some glass.

“Thank you.” The shard of glass clinkened on the ground.

The brownish eyed teenager pressed her lips into a firm line when Five shot a proud smirk in her direction.

God, what had she gotten into?

Now the trio was in another main office area. Lance dug threw files before furrowing his eyebrows at something. Five had given him the number that was on the back of the eye, but the doctor seemed confused.

Klaus was sitting on the desk, along with Ruth which she objected to at first, but he simply smiled and patted an area next to him. The green eyed teenager was the only one standing there.

“Oh..that’s strange..” He said in confusion while glancing up at the three.

“What?” Five demanded, clearly getting impaiteint.

“Uh, the eye. It hasn’t been purchased by a client yet.” He explained, looking back down at the file.

‘So this was just a big waste of time?’ The girl in the red uniform closed her eyes and irked.

Klaus jumped down from where he was and circled back to where the doctor was. He tensed up as Klaus circled him before taking his right and placing his hands down as he leaned closer.

“What? What do you mean?” He breathed out, trying to look at the file.

The doctor quickly glanced at the taller male, fear in his eyes. As blood and sparkles were still dripping from his forehead.

“Well, uh, our logs say that eye with the serial number..” He trailed off as he furrowed his eyebrows even further.

“This can’t be right, it hasn’t even been manufactered yet..” He said in confusion before looking up at the trio, mainly Ruth and the other.

“Where did you get that eye?” He asked, mainly asking the boy who was standing next to Ruth.

He only scoffed before angrily walking off. Both the short haired girl and the male in the pinstripped suit gave each other a look. They decided to follow after him.

The two eventually caught up as the brown haired male stormed out of the entrance to Meritech. Klaus walked up to him, a little quicker then the girl.

“Well, this is not good.” He said through gritted teeth.

The curly haired adult only spared a glance at the girl before back at him. A smile crept onto his face as he grabbed her. She made a sound of surprise and blinked before looking at the male.

“I was pretty good though, right? Yeah, what about my consent, bitch?” He laughed airly after exagerating his voice on that last part.

The boy in the uniform only scoffed. He stopped walking down the stairs and turned towards his brother. His eyes were narrowed and he shook his head slightly before speaking.

“Klaus, it doesn’t matter.” He shot down, making the female look away.

“What? Why? What’s the big deal with eye, anyway?” He looked surprised before actually asking.

The pink-nette silently praised the lord as her question had been asked. She had refrianed from asking it, and almost cried in relief. If she had stayed silent any longer, she felt like she would’ve lost it.

She looked at Five and looked alert. Almost like she was keen to see why he was so pissed about this.

“There is someone out there who is going to lose an eye in the next seven days.” He explained, hands in his pockets as he came a little closer.

She only furrowed her eyebrows with this. Why was the time so important? She obviously knew alot about time with her abilities? To which none of the brothers knew about. But still, why did this week matter so much?

But his next words made her heart stop.

“They’re gonna’ bring about the end of life on this earth as we know it.” He explained further, squinting at his brother.

End of the earth? Ruth felt a lump form in her throat. Clearly he was serious- wait, maybe he was just lying? Who would lie about something like that though?! He defentily didn’t have the type of vibe to be like his brother and joke about that!

Or maybe he was insane to?! She ment, it was certianely possible- oh god, she had to get out of here! Ruth didn’t even relize she had been zoning out and making faces. The growing paranoia and sickness in her stomach was only snapped out of it when one of them talked again.

“Yeah, can I get that twenty bucks like, now, or?” The tall scrawny male completly brushed off his younger looking brothers concern as he waved his arms around.

If the short haired girl tried to make a break for it now, would they stop her? They hadn’t really spoken much to her, but then again, the green eyed male could teleport.

“Your twenty bucks?” The ladder echoed back, making a face of disblief and almost mocking him as he scoffed.

“Yeah, my twenty bucks.” The former confrimed, nodding his head.

The girl in the red uniform did recall something about money. God, she wished she could just turn off her racing brain. She just wanted some answers for once. But hell- it wasn’t her fanily.

“The apocolypse is coming. And all you can think about is getting high?” Five questioned, only making Ruth more sick to her stomach.

Apocolypse? Is that why he was so worried about a date? But how would he know?? God-she hoped he knew that he looked absoutetly nuts right now.

She ment, imagine a teeanger walking up to grown adults and raving about an eye and a apocolypse! He would get locked up! Why was he even a teenager anyway when his brother looked to be in his thirties?!

Ruth’s oncoming migraine throbbed in warninng for her to calm down.

“Well I’m also quite hungry, tummy’s a-rumblin’!” He put his fingers near his stomach and wiggled them towards his brother as he made grumbling noises.

The tan skinned girl made a distrubed facial expression. She moved away from Klaus and towards Five slightly. He seemed to notice the movement, and spared a quick glance at her before back to his brother.

The said brother had a slight look on disblief on his face. He looked stunned before suddenly looking pissed.

“Your useless..” He said quietly, scrunching up his face at his taller brother.

“Your all useless!!” He snapped, louder and sparing a glance at the girl and the older looking male before scoffing and walking down the stairs again.

‘Oh no he did not.’ The female was stunned for second before feeling a shot of rage overcome her at his angered words.

He huffed and sat down at a step. The girl quickly walked up to him, a step lower then him. She moved infront of him as he sat and scowled.

“You-listen to me asshole! I don’t even know why you forced me to come with you, but I’m not fucking useless. Maybe that’s how you get your rocks off by pretending your better then everyone else, but your not. Your just a fucking physcopath.” She snapped, grabbing his collar slightly.

A pause of silence greeted the pair as he looked at her. She could just strangle him here if she really wanted to. He was pissing her off. Her eyes were narrowed and her eyebrows were furrowed.

“Woah, woah woah!” The drug addict quickly pulled her off of him and stepped infront of her.

Five was shocked, for lack of a better word. He never expected her to just lose it at that. She seemed pissed at him, he could still feel her scowling and glaring angirly at him .

“She’s right though..you do need to lighten up, old man!” He said before laughing and taking a seat next to his brother.

The short haired girl only scoffed, shaking her head slightly. But suddenly, the male in black clothing snapped his fingers and pointed at his brother.

“Hey, you know, I’ve just relized why your so uptight!” He pointed out, a small laugh coming out of his mouth.

Five only turned his head slightly, looking at his brother out of the corner of his eye.

“You must be horny as hell!” He vuglery said, making Ruth cough.

She turned around slightly as she started choking on a piece of hair. What the hell?! This guy didn’t have any filter! It was kind of funny, but she was still pissed.

“All those years by yourself..it’s gotta’ screw with your head being alone.” Klaus unhelpfullingly added on as he gazed at his brother.

Years by himself? The girl was trying to place everything together. She still didn’t understand why Five looked like he was in his sixteen’s.

The short haired brown haired male only scoffed and shook his head. His long hands were folded as his knees were up.

“Well..I wasn’t alone..” He corrected, voice soft.

Klaus looked surprised by this as he made a shocked expression. He raised his eyebrows before smiling slightly and leaning towards his brother. The teenage looking girl didn’t know what to make of the situation.

“Oh? Prey tell!” He egged on, seeming curious.

“Her name was Delores, we were together for over thirty years.” His voice was soft like he was speaking about a real girl.

That just made less sense to the short haired girl though. How could he be with a girl for thirty years? He didn’t look like he was in his fourties or thirties!

“Thirty years? Oh wow!” His older looking brother seemed geniuley impressed by this information.

“God, the longest I’ve been with someone was..I don’t know, three weeks?” He contuined, but didn’t seem sure of his answer.

Ruth cringed slightly, they weren’t even talking to her. Could she just leave? She really wanted to, the conversation was akward.

“And that’s only because I was so tired and looking for a place to sleep.” He added on, before sighing and looking away.

Was he broke or homeless? She meant, sure, he looked a little dishelved. But he didn’t look like he was completly suffering or struggling.

“He did make the most fantastic osso busco though..” The sound of a faint ‘whoosh’ made Ruth snap her head towards the street.

The drug addict looked back to his side, only to see his brother had dissapered. He gasped and stummbled to his feet, rushing down the stairs.

A taxi car drived past the building, and in the back seat with the window down, the boy made a teasing face at the duo.

“Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! What about my money?!” He waved down his brother and shouted, but the car only kept going.

The girl in the red uniform felt a sense of relief that he was gone. Now she could just go back to the academy. Or she could try and get answers from..

Her head slowly turned to look at the curly haired male. His frame was slumped over slightly as he saw his brother just ditched him.

She walked down the stairs and next to him.

“Wanna’ get lunch?” She offered, making the older blink and look at her.

Before a bright smile formed on his face. He clapped his hands together and nodded.

“Oh, you’ angel! Of course I would!” He cooed before smiling happily.

Only if he knew what her real motives were.

The pair was now at chinese resturant. Klaus was absoutetly devouring his noodles and rice. The amber eyed girl watched him with careful eyes as she took a swig of her tea.

“Aren’t you gonna’ eat anything?” He asked, furrowing his eyebrows as he looked at the girl.

She only placed her tea cup down and shrug her shoulders.

“I’m not hungry.” She simply said before holding her hands together infront of her mouth.

“So..do you know why your brother was looking for the owner of that eye?” She asked, flicking her eyes slowly across his face.

He only grunted before swallowing his food. He waved around his chopsticks as he looked at the girl.

“Not really! But he has been going on about something, the apocolypse? I just think he’s crazy.” He said before pondering and shrugging.

“Do you think he’s telling the truth? About the apocolypse- I mean.” She titled her head and asked.

Klaus only shrugged again, picking at some of his rice.

“Wouldn’t be the first time someone thought the apocolypse was coming. Rehab centers have all sorts of..intresting people.”

Ruth only hummed in response and looked away. It was still around lunch time. This place wasn’t the busitest but it still had other people besides the two.

“So..why does Five still look like a teenager? I mean, the rest of you look around late twenties or early thirties.” She decided to ask a question that had been bugging her.

The ladder only nodded his head and snapped his fingers.

“Well- dear old Five dissapered around sixteen years ago. The rest of us grew up without him and then, yesterday- he came back! For our dear old daddies’ funeral! There was a giant blue vortex thingy’-something you would see from like..back to the future or something?” He explained before trying to help her understand.

Dissapearing? It was a little confusing. He had only came back yesterday? Taking a little vacation for sixteen years was nothing to laugh at.

“Anyway, he said something like- he was fifty eight? At least in his mental age he said. It was all really confusing.” He waves around the rest of his chopsticks before finishing his food.

The pink haired girl pondered over this, looking away. A blue vortex? He was fifty eight mentally? It was extremely confusing, but who was she to say?

Was he simaliar to her? Ruth knew he couldn’t create portals like she could. But time jumping could be tricky. She didn’t know his limit, but she was sure he had to do something dangerous.

A waiter with a check made her pay and she paid quickly. She finally looked back towards the older male and furrowed her eyebrows as he was looking at her.

“So..why are you so curious about dear old Fivey’ anyway? You have a crush on him or something?” He asked, smile on his face.

Ruth only tensed up and felt her face heat up slightly. Her amber eyes were wide for a second as embrassment creeped over her. She cleared her throat before scowling and shaking her head.

“Don’t be ridicilous! He’s an asshole, and I only met him today!” She degraded but denied his thought.

Klaus only laughed slightly before sighing and cleaning back on his side of the booth. He looked relaxed and looked at her with a grin.

“That’s a shame. I think you two would be cute!” He sighed before tilting his head slightly.

She only deadpanned before standing up. The male only groaned slightly as he stood up. The duo walked as she had already paid. He stopped outside of the resturant and smiled down at her.

“Thanks for the food, Ruth. Keep hanging around Five and I might repay you a favor sometime!” He only laughed slightly.

He smiled and ruffled her hair slightly. She heard him laugh again but when she looked around, he was no where to be seen.

The red uniformed girl finally got back to her orginal academy. The Glided academy, when she entered it was sunset. She had done some wandering around the city before deciding to head back.

She wasn’t sure if she should bring up what happened today with her siblings. Surely they would think she was crazy.

“Oh, welcome back!” A familar energetic voice greeted.

She looked and saw Astro standing aganist the doorway of one of the spiltting hallways. She was wearing a grey sweatshirt that had a white tank top underneath. It was rather big on her, and she also had on shorts.

“I can’t believe everyone’s still here..” The teenage looking girl said.

The tall girl only nodded and leaned off of the wall. She walked towards her with her arms crossed and looked around.

“Yeah well, some of us don’t really have anywhere else to be.” Her voice was rather somber as she mummbled that before snapping out of it.

“Speaking of you, are you ever gonna’ stay home long enough for us to have dinner with you? Honestly, we already had dinner today and yesterday! And it was italian!” Astro snapped their fingers before sarcastically asking.

The shorter only scoffed before shaking her head.

“I don’t know, I’m a busy person.” She huffed and looked away.

The other wasn’t impressed, to say the very least.

“Oh- I know you usually are the first to wake up. So could you make sure no one leaves tommorow? I have something I want to talk to you guys about.” Before the long haired person could say anything, she contuined.

They blinked with big yellowish eyes before nodding their head.

“Sure, I can do that. But is it important? Like-how important-?” She simply said with a grin before furrowing her eyebrows.

Ruth cut her off with a throw of her hands in the air. She groaned lowly before looking at her.

“It’s just important, okay?! Make sure no one leaves!” snapped, glaring at Astro slightly before demanding.

The other only turned their head slightly when she pushed past them. She walked up the main stairs and heade towards her room.

The tan skinned female groaned when she entered her room and closed the door behind her. She shrugged off her blazer and piece by piece she took her old uniform off completly. She only found a basic white shirt and shorts to sleep in her closet, seeing as it was mainy uniforms.

They didn’t really make any clothes that were appealing for her age. Or at least physical age and size. And she couldn’t go walking around in professional clothes when she looked sixteen, could she?

After she had brushed her teeth, taken a shot of vodka and a shower, she crawled into bed. The shot of vodka didn’t do much by haze her mind over slightly. She knew she could be classifed as an acholic, but she didn’t really care.

She laid on her side and felt her mouth go dry, but she didn’t feel like getting out of bed. She looked at the red ring on her night stand, it glittering when the moonlight hit the red gem. Her amber eyes practically glew in the dark too.

She only pressed her face further aganist the pillow, expression bittering. She frowned nastly before turning around on her opposite side and closing her eyes, falling asleep.

When she closed her eyes, she dreamed about Celeste.

Hagreeves siblings are so stupid, I love them

#the umbrella academy #viktor hargreeves #number five #klaus hargreeves #alisson hargreeves #luther hargreeves #ben hargreeves #the umbrella academy season 3

[spicycheeto]

you wanted an ask so here we go! don’t know if it was answered already, but could you evaluate on all of the hagreeves kids? like what are your opinions on them, if you like their character development throughout the series and what are you expecting to come for them in the new serie? thanks for the answer, I’m really curious!

Oh here we go! If a little of my obsessiveness towards whatever comes through... than woops. You didn't see it.

Luther. At first I kinda hated him. Now, I'm indifferent. I think he's a nice guy. I think his heart is always in the right place. I think he grew a lot from season 1 to 2. He made mistakes, and I'm sure he has a lot of regrets stored away.

I think Hargeeves played on his weaknesses as a child so much to the point it drove him to literally see no other purpose in life other than to be his lapdog. Luther was always the closest with their father than the rest of the siblings, and I think this is for a reason. He played on Luther's insecurities a bit, I believe. We know how abusive and manipulative Hargeeves was as a father. I don't need to go into that.

I do think all of the siblings are well rounded, and it's difficult to see it when there seems to be a lot more obvious flaws in a character than strengths. He may not be a perfect leader, and I think this was partially Hargreeves' fault. Luther is, honestly, just a sweet guy. I definitely do think they could've used him for more in season 2. He seemed kind of sidelined.

I don't really have many extraordinary thoughts about him. I try not to think about him, to be totally honest.

Diego. Okay, I have some things to say. I think he's been played with as Number Two by Hargeeves enough as a child. It's led him to the exact superhero complex discussed in the show countless times.

He's seen as this big macho vigilante type in season 1, but seems to be quite the opposite in season 2. It's clear from the beginning he is kind and caring, though through a rough exterior. Both Lila and Patch brought that out in him, which I liked a lot. He's a mommas boy, who was seeking Grace out and protecting her in both timelines, and I belive he will try to do the same in season 3. Most of all, he loves his siblings, no matter how much they annoy the hell out of him. Though, I think almost anyone with siblings can atest to that.

I think in season 3 they're gonna be exploring a bit of his "parenting" side. Have you seen the stills of him, Klaus, and Javon Walton's character? Maybe I'm drawing too much from one picture, but I actually think Klaus and Diego are gonna be fighting over who gets to parent this kid through the entire season. I think it's a nice idea.

Allison. Now I have mixed feelings about her. Mostly, I like her. She's one of those characters where I know there's something about her I don't like, but I can't put my finger on it.

I love where she went at the end of season 1. I know that seems morbid, but I liked the idea of her neck injury. I wasn't upset when her injury healed. I'm just glad it didn't seem like they rushed it. They didn't show her recovery, but it was clear for a bit of time she was mute and was slowly recovering to get her voice back. Her goodbye with Raymond was gut wrenching, and I am glad she was given a second chance at a happy marraige. So glad she will hopefully be able to reunite with Claire for the next season, if only for a little bit.

Following the trend of the seasons, it looks like she'll be the one of season 3 to have a big obsession. Maybe it's Claire? I saw this theory somewhere else, but now I'm starting to believe she'll turn from her siblings in season 3. Maybe she'll join the Sparrows, in exchange for Sloane to join the Umbrellas. I actually do like this idea.

Klaus. Oh baby, my favorite. I think he still has a lot of potential. I think there are many directions they can go with all of the characters. But Klaus, Five, and Viktor particularly, there's just so much they can unfold and work with.

One of the directions I hope they don't go down is somehow bringing Dave back into the equation. We barely got anything of him in season 1 to actually be attached to him (aside from Klaus' own feelings). And seaosn 2 made it very clear Dave wanted nothing to do with Klaus, and he died in Vietnam just as always. I think it would be a good opportunity to explore how Klaus is dealing with this in the future world, and maybe just move on entirely.

I know there are a lot of his comic powers the directors still have to unpack, and I know one of them is fire related. Don't really know how fire works in with death and the afterlife, but there we are. I know he has some arsonistic powers from the comics. It was possibly hinted at in season 1 when he destroyed the briefcase after coming back from Vietnam and the case went up in flames. But I know he still has a lot to unpack, and I think it will happen next season. I'm excited for what they have in store for him.

Five. My other darling favorite. There's so much to work with here. First of all, he is a 60 year old man in a 13 year old body. He has the mind of a borderline elderly (yet is still sharp as the axe he murdered the board of committees with). It's clear his love for his family is a superpower all in its own, though he's rought to show it. He's like Diego in that way.

There's not a place for romance with him. And that's okay! That's great! I hate it when producers are led to believe everyone must have a romantic partner in order for the story to still succeed. I would be perfectly okay with none of the siblings iNteRMinGLing, but that's just me. Five is gonna be a loner, for the time being. Not for the next ten years, at least. And even then, it's gonna have to seem like a sugar-relationship type deal. Or like that one couple on tiktok (you know who I'm talking about). As his body ages, I do believe his mind will start aging along with it. We don't know for sure how that all works, since he hasn't actually had the opportunity to age since he came back from the future. But it seems like that would be the easiest and most explainable solution, yes?

I'm so glad they're actually giving Five a break this season! He actually gets to take a nap! He's in a hotel bath robe, he's chilling in his old man clothes, he's living his best life. I sincerely think Five will go full Luther-route from the beginning fo season 2 and say "figure this out on your own, suckers lol" and just peace out of there. Lord knows the man deserves it.

Also, can we please let there be an actual time skip for him. Five has been dealing with these 2 (maybe 3) apocalypses back to back with zero time in between. His siblings have had years to recover and recharge their superhero batteries. Meanwhile, Five is also aging physically. And we can tell from the trailer. Aiden is 18 playing a 13 year old. And the thing is... Aiden looks his age. He cannot pass as a tiny child much longer. He's maturing and growing like a stalk of corn.

I saw one funny theory that was through all of season 3, Five is just gonna be in the background of every shot or sititng down. That'll be the only way they'll be able to disguise how tall Aiden has gotten. Well, I gotta agree. It's not looking great. I feel like they would have planned an seen it coming that their main character (who happens to be a teenager) is gonna age a lot quicker than how his character's timeline is moving. Over the past 2 season Five has aged barely 3 weeks. Aiden aged 5 years.

I didn't think Five would actually be the longest explanation I would do. I thought it would be Diego or Klaus. Oh well.

Ben. We really don't know much about this funky little guy, do we? Everything we know about him is left up to headcanons.

He was my favorite for a hot second, then I just remembered Klaus and thought "yeah, this one's a little better". I think simply cause we've been allowed to have more of a connection with anyone else in the family than we have with Ben.

I think Sparrow Ben is gonna be EXCITING. I really think I'm gonna like the direction they're taking him in. And that's all I have to say about that.

Viktor. Now I don't know how they're gonna handle the transition from Vanya to Viktor. They could just never address it, and he's been himself forever. Or he actually comes out, and you see the transition as the season is going on. I think the second one makes more sense for them to go with. It would be a little jarring if for two seasons he was someone and then BOOM, no no he's someone else. That would be a little confusing for someone who hadn't been following Elliott. Also, continuity wise, they need to stay steady.

Anyway, I can imagine Viktor just going up to Klaus and being like "so, gender". And Klaus is like "omg broski SAME". And it's just a cute sibling bonding moment.

Thanks for this! It took me a While, but here. I was straight up working on it for a solid two hours straight!

ℂℍ𝔸ℙ𝕋𝔼ℝ 𝟜

17 YEARS AGO ------------------------------------------------------

''During extreme weather conditions, a climber must possess the wisdom to determine, when evacuation is inevitable'' A bell resonates throughout the mansion, signalling each child that dinner time had come. Each child piled out of their respective rooms, hurrying to the diner table, not wanting to be late. Marching into the room by ordered numbers, Luther, Diego, Allison, you get the gist, they all stood at their seats.

''A controlled alpine descent begins with the girding of one's loins and the anchoring of climbing rope to one's enemy, the mountain'' With straightened backs and gazes straight forward they awaited one final person. Sir Reginald Hargreeves was always so firm whenever it came to the children's postures. ''Never slack your back'' or ''Chin up!''

It was the one thing that always irritated him. No one could relax around him. So, obviously, Sam would use this to her advantage. Antagonizing the old man one truly her only goal from the minute she stepped into the Hargreeve's residence. And, boy. Did she make sure he knew it. It could be anything really. If he let one minor thing slip, she would make sure he would never forget it.

It could be anything really. From her ''Harmless'' pranks to misplacing his things on purpose. What else was she even supposed to do? Train all day? Hah, funny. He made her life Hell, so why not return the favour?

''The Dulfersitz rappel is the preferred method for the descent'' Sam rolled her eyes at the tape. She must have heard this tape at least a thousand times. So, you could imagine it was getting old. Her attention diverted from the tape when she saw the old man walk into the room, head held high.

''But must be regarded as a last resort'' He scanned his eyes over the children, narrowing them slightly when they saw Sam's sardonic smile. He sat down, and immediately the rest of the children followed suit. ''Begin by looping the rope'' Luther was the first to start digging in, Diego quickly trying to eat faster than him and prove that he was somehow ''better''

''A screen anchor must be used if the rope is to be successfully retrieved'' Sam toyed with the knife in her hand, poking at her food. Her eyes studied the other children. Everyone seemed to be doing something else other than eating whenever it came to dinner time. You see, Reginald decided he rather sit in silence and listen to a tape, without having annoying little voices interrupt it. No speaking was aloud at the table, one of his many rules. But, Sam actually kinda liked this rule.

Believe it or not, she liked it when she couldn't hear the idiotic things come out of the Hargreeve's mouths. Especially Luther's thought process. She was glad she had a few hours away from that. Thinking about the idiot made Sam turn her attention toward him. She regrets doing so. Why? Well, she felt disgusted when she saw Luther and Allison making lovey-dovey eyes towards each other. Gross.

She had already been asked the question of why she was so opinionated about Luther and Allison's situation. The question had been asked by Klaus, surprisingly. When asked, she had put her book down, narrowing her eyes. ''Because, it's like you're dating your own sibling, Klaus. It just seems morally wrong'' Klaus pursed his lips. ''Well, what about you? What if you liked one of us?'' She had thought about that before. Late, late at night when her mind wandered everywhere.

''I don't consider you all family. And I know the feeling is mutual, Klaus. I came into your family differently from all of you'' She picked up her book again. ''We all know how most of the family feels about me, anyhow'' Her eyes narrowed.

What she had said was true. None of the Hagreeves saw her as a sister. At most, she was a friend. But she had always felt like a stranger stuck in this big house. But sometimes, she liked it like that. Weird, she knows.

Her attention back at the table, she saw Ben reading and Klaus trying to bug him. Klaus had tried peeking into Ben's book only for him to sigh and put it down. Klaus smiled and snatched the book from him, playing with the book's cover. Sam had always liked Ben and Klaus. Ben was quiet, something she enjoyed. She could be in the same room as him, say nothing, but still feel comfortable. It was hard to find someone that you could do that with.

And she always had a soft spot for Klaus. He always made her feel a little less miserable. Sure, sometimes he did get on her nerves, but she still tolerated him a bit more than she did with the others. He actually tried to be her friend. And, for her actions always spoke louder than words.

A quiet sneeze brought her attention to little old Vanya. Sam was indifferent towards her. She didn't care for the girl. Why should she? She never voiced her opinions, always agreed with anything and cried. And oh boy, did she cry a lot. And when she did cry, it made Sam angry. Sam hated when people cried for stupid reasons. And Vanya was just that type of person. Sensitive. And sometimes Sam held that against her, and she knew she shouldn't, but ''Que sera, sera''

Next up, on Sam's opinions, was Diego. Batman. Superhero wanna-be. She disliked Diego, but not any more than the others. She just thought he tried way too hard. So what if he wasn't Number One? There's obviously a reason for that. But another thing she disliked about him is that they always seemed to butt heads whenever it came to things he was fond of. Like Grace, or missions. He always disagreed with her. And that caused Sam to become enraged and perhaps make fun of his stuttering problem here and there. Okay. Fine. All of the time. But who could blame her?

And last but not least, the infamous, Five Hagreeves. The little shit head. She couldn't stand him. There was just something about him. He always thought he was right. In his eyes, he was practically Einstein. Sam was certain that he thought that everyone was beneath him. She was beneath no one. If anything, she was superior to him. She was just as intellectually smart and could beat his ass. He always got on her nerves and would oppose her at any opportunity. She absolutely despised him.

''Front the face of the mountain. Tightly knot the end of the rope. Once anchored, thread the doubled rope through the legs, front to back, and around the buttocks. It is of utmost importance that the rope be drawn under the gluteal muscles, not through the crevice, between the gluteus''

Sam, being seated next to Five, completely ignored his existence. If she didn't acknowledge him, he couldn't annoy her. But, this particular dinner, her eyes did train on Five's face. Not only him but the old man as well. They both seemed to be glaring at each other. Peculiar.

Reginald had raised an eyebrow, curiosity drew all over his face. A few seconds passed before a knife had been jammed next to her hand. A glare was immediately pointed towards Five who was the culprit of the knife and he ignored it. Little shit. ''Number Five?'' Reginald spoke out.

Five smirked and leaned his body back in his chair. ''I have a question'' he challenged the old man. Reginald didn't hesitate to accept it. ''Knowledge is an admirable goal, but you know the rules. No talking during mealtimes. You are interrupting Herll Carlson'' The old man held his fork a bit tighter.

Five pursed his lips together and knitted his eyebrows. ''I want to time travel'' He glared at Reginald. ''No'' Five's face fell. Sam took this chance and leaned toward him, smirking. ''You heard him. No'' He glared at her. ''What, you wanna go pout in your room, you a big baby or something?'' A teasing smile danced on her lips and Reginald slammed his hand on the table.

''Number Eight! No speaking at the table. You know the rules'' Sam rolled her eyes, but the smirk never left her lips. Five took his outburst as a chance to continue pressing on. ''But, I'm ready, I've been practicing my spatial jumps, just like you said''

Reginald, not even bothering to look at Five, continued eating. But, he paused when Five spatial jumped next to him. A sigh escaped his lips. ''A spatial jump is trivial when compared with the unknowns of time travel. One is like sliding along the ice, the other is akin to descending blindly into the depths of the freezing water and reappearing as an acorn''

Sam's eyebrows furrow in confusion. What?

Five glances around at the other children, Vanya shaking her head no towards him. He looks away from her and his gaze had stopped on Sam's. She smirked at his failure and his eyebrows knitted together, frustrated. He turned his attention back to Reginald and glared at him.

''I'm not afraid'' Five challenged. ''Fear isn't the issue, Number Five. The effects it might have on your body, even your mind. It is far too unpredictable'' A sudden flash of anger overtook the old man, causing him to slam his fist once more on the table. ''Now I forbid you to talk about this anymore! Take your seat, Number Five'' Five didn't budge, causing the old man to glare once more.

''Number Five, that is an order!'' Five turned around slowly, seeming as if he was going back to his seat. His eyes caught Sam's. She gave him a stare practically saying ''Yeah, that's right, you failed'' He clenched his jaw and looked towards the door. He looked back at Sam and gave her a vexatious smile.

She tilted her head and Five suddenly bolted out of the door, with a screaming Reginald calling out for him. Reginald stayed seated, huffing and clenching the utensils tighter in his hands. ''Number Eight'' Sam's ears perked up at her ''name'' being called by the old man.

She looked at the man and he glared towards the door. ''Go fetch, Number Five. Immediately'' She gave a mischievous smile. ''Can I use any method I want to bring him back?'' She posed the question excitedly. He kept his gaze on the door, silent for a second. ''Within reason'' Her smile grew and she sat up from her chair.

''You can count on my, Boss'' She felt her hands heating up slightly and started dashing for the door. She jumped off of the top of the four-stepped stairs, her sight catching Five's uniform turning a corner. Finally, something thrilling. She bolted towards his figure, knowing she was much faster than he was.

After a few more steps, she had already caught up to him. Sensing someone's presence following him, he picked up his pace and turned his head to see if anyone really was behind him. He was right. Sam was. ''You can't run from me, Five!'' She laughed at the sight of his eyes narrowing at her.

''Leave me alone, Sam!'' She just kept up her pace at that. ''Not a chance!'' She screamed out at him. Sam was finally close enough to catch his jacket's uniform, holding her hand out, she grasped at it. Only for Five to suddenly turn into an alleyway, catching the girl by surprise. She halted quickly and turned into the alleyway, only to see Five catching distance from her.

Her hands immediately launched out from her sides and a giant explosion escaped them. Five, catching most of the blow, fell to the ground, tumbling. He tried to pick himself back up but felt a foot on his back the minute he tried to do so. ''Gotcha'' He turned his head to see Sam smirking.

''That's what you think'' As soon as those words left his mouth, he was gone. Sam waited patiently, already knowing most of the boy's tricks. Soon, she heard a ''swoosh'' behind her and she whipped around. But, only to get a right hook in the face. She staggered back and held her nose. ''My nose!''

''You started it!'' Her hand fell from her nose. ''Because you decided to be an idiot, and run from the old man'' She smiled sarcastically. ''I know I can do this'' She rolled her eyes. ''You know nothing, Number Five'' After her words, she lunged at him, swinging her arm for his face. He only spatial jumped away. ''Why do you even care?''

''I don't. The old man wanted me to come fetch you, like some dog'' She rolled her eyes. continuing to swing at the boy. He blocked her attempts to hit him but swept her leg when he saw the chance. She fell to the ground and stuck her arm out, sending a blast to him.

Hitting him, he tumbled back but kept his balance. ''I don't care, Number Five'' She said with venom evident in her voice. ''I was directed to get you, and I'm not leaving without you'' Five rushed towards the girl trying to get off of the ground and shoved her back down. He put a knee to her stomach and pushed down.

Sam wheezed and went to put her hands up, only for Five to pin them down. ''You know, it's easy to stop you if you think about it. All I have to do is restrict your arm movements and hands'' He smirked and pressed down further on her stomach. She glared at him and tried wiggling her arms out of his grip.

''Not a chance, Sam'' He glared. But his glare paused when he heard a pipe starting to make noise. His attention lingered on it but when he turned his attention back to the girl, she was smirking, ''What?'' He asked. ''That's not the only thing I can do, Number Five''

Like a light bulb lighting up, he realized what she meant. His head turned quickly towards the pipe, only for the gas in it to force it to explode, just like Sam's powers. He was blown back, his back and head hitting the brick wall behind him and he wheezed, feeling himself losing his own breath.

''You shouldn't underestimate me, Five'' She stood over him. He blinked a few times, trying to clear his vision from the blow he had received to the head. He finally saw the girl leaning closer to him. ''Just come with me, don't make more of a fuss than you already have'' She looked to the side and sighed.

''You say don't underestimate you, right?'' She looked back at him. ''Yeah, so what?'' He gave her a tight-lipped smile. ''Well, don't underestimate me, either'' She rose an eyebrow, curiosity getting to her. ''Please, Sam. Let me do this'' She bit the inside of her cheek, pondering.

''Let's say you do, somehow, manage to do this. What would I get in return? I wouldn't be doing this for free, obviously'' She stared at him. ''I don't know. But I promise you, Sam'' He gave her a determined look. ''I'll owe you one'' She tilted her head at him.

He'll owe me one? Interesting. Coming from him, this is quite the opportunity. She smiled at the boy. ''Fine, you'll owe me one then'' She leaned away from the boy. ''Have fun'' He smirked at her. ''Oh, I will'' She lifted her hand to her forehead, saluting him and then he spatial jumped away. You better keep to your promise of owing me one, Five Hagreeves.

But she would never know if he would after that day. Because he would never return to fulfill his promise to her.

PRESENT TIME SAM'S POV ---------------------------------

Vanya had gotten up to go fetch Five and I a cup of coffee. Or to try to escape the words that just came out of Five's mouth. I can't say I blame her. I turn my head towards Five, only to see that he has his head in his hands. I glance away awkwardly and crack my knuckles.

Should I say something to him? He probably doesn't want to hear anything from me right now. Or ever, really. I glance back at him only for him to be in the same exact position.

''Five?'' He turned his attention towards me and took his hands off his head. Yet, he stayed silent. That was a bad sign. That smart ass always liked to talk. ''Are you'' I gulped and felt sweat forming on the palms of my hand. ''Okay?'' My eye twitches. ''What do you think, Sam?''

''I was just trying to help, Jesus'' My eyes shot daggers toward him. He sighs and rubs his knuckles. ''What am I going to do'' He mumbles into his hands. ''Fix it'' His eyes shot to mine. ''What?'' I roll my eyes. ''I said, fix it. You'll fix it. Have some faith in yourself, yeah?''

He pauses and purses his lips. ''Yeah'. I will' He leans back into Vanya's chair. ''By the way, have you figured out how to turn me back into an adult again?'' He turned his back towards me. ''No. No, I haven't, Sam. When would I have had the time to figure that out?'' I shrug. ''I don't know, you tell me''

''But, can you turn me back into one?'' I grip the end of my uniform. ''I don't know'' I purse my lips and furrow my brows. ''Yeah, well you better figure it out soon. I don't want to be prepubescent forever. have a life outside of all of this, unlike you'' He rolls his eyes. ''I'll do what I can''

Minutes of awkward silence pass after my question and I quickly grow bored. A heavy sigh left my lips and I fiddle with my fingers, heating my hands on and off repetitively. I feel Five's gaze watching me. Finally, Vanya arrives with three cups of coffee and I quickly grab mine from her hands.

''I can't even imagine being in an apocalypse. The hardships'' She mumbles. ''Yeah, well you do whatever it takes to survive. It's either that or you die. So we adapted''

''We?'' I raise my eyebrow. Who may this other mysterious person be? For them to tolerate Five for over forty-five years? Must be quite a patient person.

He ignored my question and kept talking. Fuck you too, then. ''Whatever the world threw at us, we always found a way to overcome it'' Five spoke. ''Us? We? Who is this other person?'' He glanced at me and gave me a pointed look. ''What? I wanna know'' I huff.

He rolled his eyes and stretched his back. ''You got anything stronger?'' I lean my side on the chair and stare at Vanya, trying to decipher whatever she was thinking. Five apparently had the same thought process as me. ''You think I'm crazy''

Yes.

''No, of course not'' Vanya stammered. ''It's just a lot to take in'' Five nodded but clearly still had a look of skepticism on his features. ''Exactly what don't you understand?'' Vanya glanced away from his gaze. ''Well, why didn't you just time travel back?''

Five scoffs at her words. ''Gee, wish I thought of that'' He glares at her. ''Look, Vanya. Time travel is a crapshoot. I went into the ice and never acorned'' Silence filled the room. ''You think I didn't try everything to get back to my family?'' I huffed. ''You seemed pretty certain you wanted to leave them'' He glared at my words.

''If you grew old there, how come you still look like a kid? And how come Sam looks like one as well? She wasn't with you'' Vanya asks meekly. ''I told you already, I must have gotten the equations wrong. And for Sam's case well, she did cross threw the portal. She must have gotten caught up in the wrong equations and time travel.

Vanya took a few seconds to let the information sink in. ''Well, I mean, Dad always used to say that time travel could mess up your mind. Maybe that's what's happening?'' I hold back a laugh, pinching my arm. She thinks he really is crazy! Well, I don't blame her.

Five places his cup down on the coffee table. ''This was a mistake. You're too young, too naive. And you'' He points at me. ''You just don't care'' He glares at me and I return the look. ''I've done nothing to even make you think that, Number Five'' The last part of my sentence was said with venom near the end. Rightfully so, in my opinion. And we all know my opinion is the right one.

''Really, Sam? You've been holding back laughs this whole time'' He stands up from his seat and I follow his movements. ''In my defence, it was only once'' He shoots daggers in my direction and I smirk. We both step closer to each other and I feel my hands warming up. ''Take another step forward. I dare you'' I challenge him.

''Guys, please, no. Not in my apartment, please'' Vanya begged. I looked towards her and felt my hand cooling back down. ''Whatever'' I sit back down, with Five remaining standing. ''Please, Five. We haven't seen you in a long time, and we don't wanna lose you again'' She glances at her clock

''And you know what, it's getting late and I have lessons early. I need sleep and I'm sure you do too. Here'' She gestures towards her couch. '' We'll talk in the morning again. Okay, I promise'' She leaves the room and I return her goodnight. I stare at Five and wait for him to move, which he does. But only to the door. He opens it and I continue staring at him.

''Where are you going?'' I raise my eyebrow at him. He said nothing, yet fished in his pocket and threw the object at me. I got it with ease and unwrapped it, showing a prosthetic eyeball. ''What's this?'' He closes the door and walks toward me. ''Read the back of it'' I turn the eye to its back and read a label. ''Meri-Tech?'' I voiced out, confusion colouring my face.

''Have you ever heard of it?'' Five asked. ''Yeah, of course. They're one of my rival businesses'' Five's posture immediately straightens up. ''So, you know where their business is located?'' I nod my head. ''Yeah, why?'' A gleam enters his eyes. ''Let's go'' He quickly rushes towards me and grand my arm, pulling me towards the door.

I halt in my steps and keep my ground. My eyes narrow at him. ''Not before you tell me where we're going'' I spat out. His grip on my arm tightens, and he tries pulling me forward. ''I'll explain when we get there now come on'' I rip my arm from his grasp and walk in front of him. ''Don't touch me''

We leave Vanya's apartment, taking the stairs this time. He lets me take the lead and follows closely beside me. A few moments of silence pass. ''So, what business do you work with if you know who Meri-Tech is?'' I roll my eyes. ''I don't just know the business. I own it. And why do you even care?'' I glimpse at him.

''Just making conversation'' I fasten my pace. ''Yeah, there's no such thing as that when it comes to you, Hargreeves'' He kept silent. The rest of the walk was filled with silence. Finally, it was broken when I stopped in front of a large building. ''We're here'' I looked over at him to see him clutching the eye in his pocket.

''So, why are we here? I believe you owe me an explication'' He glanced over at me. ''This eye is the one clue I have to stop the apocalypse'' I lean my weight on my left side. ''But, wasn't everything destroyed in the apocalypse? How'd you even find the eye?'' His eyes narrowed at my phrase.

''How'd you know everything was destroyed?'' A slight pause between us. A roll of my eyes followed. ''Well, obviously if it was the apocalypse, everything would be destroyed, right?'' He paused. ''I guess that logic makes sense'' He murmurs. He soon took the first few steps to enter the building, me following suit. Taking the elevator up to one of the higher floors, we exit it.

A secretary was typing away at her desk, phone in her hand, smiling. Multiple doors stood on the sides. I peeked my head out, trying to read the labels on the door before a body engulfed my vision. ''Can I help you?'' A man in a doctor's lab coat questioned.

Five pulled out the eye in his pocket and toyed with it in his hands. ''I need to know who this belongs to'' The doctor's eyes widen slightly. ''Where did you get that'' He fiddled with the end of his doctor's coat. ''What do you care?'' I glare at him. Five reached his hand out and pinched my arm. I swat his arm away and rub the spot where he pinched me.

''We actually found it at the playground'' Five chuckled. That little liar. It seems so natural for him. ''Must have just popped out!'' He gestured to his eye and did a popping noise. The doctor smiled nervously and chuckled. ''We just wanna return it to its rightful owner'' Five smiled.

The secretary had put her phone down by the time the doctor was talking to us and listened to the conversation. ''Oh, how sweet!'' She smiled brightly. ''Yeah, look up the name for us, would ya?'' I spit out. Her eyes widen at my tone of voice and she glances away from me.

Five glares at me but keeps his mouth shut. ''Sorry, she's just in a mood. Girls, am I right?'' I kick his leg. ''Excuse me?'' The doctor chuckles and folds his hands together. ''I'm sorry, but patient records are strictly confidential. That means I can't tell you''

''What about section 34, page 98, point 0.9?'' His eyebrows knit together. ''Excuse me?'' I smirk. ''You heard me. In your code book. Every prosthetic company has one. The code is that if a person brings a found prosthetic, they do indeed have the right to know who the owner is. For the sake of bringing it back of course. Company policies'' His eyes widen a bit.

''Well, look at you. I'm curious to how a kid young as yourself knows this'' I raise my eyebrow. ''I'm not stupid'' He smiles. ''Well, I'm afraid that doesn't apply to our company'' He smiles. I hate that smile.

''That must not be true. It applies to every company'' My face scrunched together. ''Do I know you?'' The question catches me off guard. ''Excuse me?'' He leans closer. ''You look fairly familiar'' I turn my face to the side. ''You don't'' He leans away and shrugs.

''Just tell us who it belongs to'' Five persists, starting to get angry. The doctor picked up on his anger. ''Now, you listen here young man'' Five's rage takes over and he quickly grabs the doctor's coat in his grasp, shoving him into the wall. The secretary squeaks and her hands reach her face.

''No, you listen to me, asshole. I've come a long way for this, through some shit your pea brain couldn't even comprehend. So just give me the information I need and I'll be on my merry way'' Five smirks. ''And if you call me young man, one more time, I'm gonna put your head through that damn wall''

''Oh, dear'' The secretary squeaks out. ''Call security, now, Alice'' Alice quickly picks up the phone only for her to see the top half of it melted off and me smirking at her. ''Oh, no! The phone's broken, is it? What bad timing'' I smile mischievously and place a heated hand on her shoulder.

''Let's not do anything that could get anyone mad, now. Right, Alice?'' I spoke, saying her name with venom. She nodded and gulped. Clearly nervous and afraid. Good. ''Come on Five, let him go'' He looked over at me and reluctantly let the doctor go.

We made our way back to the elevator and he grabbed a fistful of my uniform, spatial jumping us back to the mansion. More specifically, a room I've never been in. His room. My head spins from the jump and I blink harshly to regain my vision. ''Jesus Christ, how do you do that every time?''

He ignored my comment and sighed, sitting down on his bed. ''So, what do we do now'' I pondered while looking around at the newly found room. He sighed once more and muttered an ''I don't know'' and something else about the eye. ''Nice room. But, holy shit, you're such a nerd'' He looked offended at me.

''At least I'm not stupid'' I narrow my eyebrows. ''I'm not stupid'' He scoffed. ''Yeah, okay. Maybe you're not stupid, but you're definitely not smarter than me'' He rolls his eyes. ''Very debatable'' I sit down on a chair. ''You know, what if we did something'' He raised his eyebrow.

''Like?'' I stretch my legs. ''We could try intimidating the doctor. Obviously, violence didn't work, and being kids didn't help'' He sits up straighter. ''So?'' I grin. ''Why not involve a parent?'' Realization crosses his face. ''We need a parental figure. But who?''

''I know the exact person'' I walk to his desk and pull out a twenty-dollar bill and smirk. ''Please, no'' He sighs. ''please, yes!'' I walk to his door and open it. ''Let's go get, Klaus'' Slowly getting up from his bed, he walks next to me. Shuffling was heard in Klaus's room and I knock. A loud ''Come in!'' Was heard and I opened the door.

''Klaus'' A large grin appeared on his face and he rushed over to us. ''Sam! Five! Welcome, welcome! Come in'' I smirk. ''No time, Klaus. You wanna make a quick twenty-bucks?'' His eyes widen and he gets down on his knees, hands displaying a prayer-like stance. ''Yes! Of course, please!''

''Then you gotta come with us'' He raises an eyebrow but doesn't hesitate to follow us back into Five's room. Reaching the room, meek footsteps were heard coming towards his room. Right before we got down to business as well. Damn. ''Klaus, get in the closet!'' Five whispered-yelled. ''But I just got out!''

He laughs and gets shoved in the closet by Five. The door quickly opens after the action and Five and I stare at Vanya's figure at the door. ''There you guys are'' She sighs. ''Sorry we left without saying anything, Vanya'' Five sighed. ''No, look. I'm the one who should be sorry. I was dismissive and I guess I didn't know how to process what you were saying. And I still can't if I'm being honest''

Five sat down on his bed, looking dejected. ' Maybe you were right to be dismissive. Maybe it wasn't real after all. It felt real. But, as you said, the old man did say time travel could contaminate the mind. Maybe that's what happened to me'' Vanya came closer to us. ''Look, maybe we aren't the right people for you to be talking to'' She paused. ''I used to see someone. A therapist. I could give you her information''

Five cuts her off. ''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'' Vanya stand still for a few seconds and sighs. ''Yeah, okay, Five'' She leaves the room quietly and shuts the door. I opened the door slightly, peeking my head out to see if she was still around. She wasn't. Good.

I nodded towards Five and he opened the closet, making Klaus fall down to the ground.

''Why, hello there'' He smirks at us.

Five, talking to Lila about music: You know I think people don’t like rap nowadays cause they say it has like a bad influence on kids.

Five: And I grew up with a bunch a kids, like my dad ran a daycare sadistic boarding school, and there were seven of us, and *mumbles* we were a science experiment…

Five: *back to normal volume* But whatever, I know kids pretty well and I’ve gotta be honest -

Five: *looks back at his family*

Luther: *sobbing wretchedly about the moon and attacking Klaus and Vanya*

Diego: *stuttering about how much he misses Eudora and Grace and running around at night like an unfiltered Batman*

Allison: *trying to rumor everybody into doing whatever she wants including her daughter*

Klaus: *trying to cope with his PTSD, anxiety, depression, homelessness, loneliness, self-esteem issues, prostitution, and probably an eating disorder with humor, drugs, alcohol, and a fuckton of sex experimentation*

Ben: *being dead with a fucking tentacle monster in his chest*

Vanya: *writing about her siblings’ private traumas and providing speculation on them as if it’s any of her fucking business and, oh yeah, blowing up the fucking earth*

Five: *looks back at Lila*

Five: Kids are pretty fucked up anyway.

So I realized something, when Allison says she speaks seven languages at the diner that was very neat right? But like, why seven? Why not more? Then I realized, there are seven siblings so I believe Reginald had them learn each their original language.

Like, in the scene of the interrogation we learn from Vanya's flashbacks she is that Russian baby we saw in episode one, also, her response under pressure came naturally because yes, she was teached russian as she was meant to grow knowing that language.

Also like, that's one of the reasons poor Olga Foroga got called by Diego and Luther, they didn't knew it was Swedish, they weren't supposed to as they never learnt it, or they are actually meant to know but never payed attention in those classes, why do I come on to this point? Well, five never got a "real name" and on exception of Ben, I believe the siblings were named according to their nationality.

Of course five did knew Swedish though because he worked at the comission and, for the way we saw the Handler raise Lila and teached her multiple languages, I believe is like a requisite to be fully prepared for the corrections division dept. ?(I believe that's what is called)well, the assasins.

So I researched the origin of their names (again, except for Ben)and well, I believe the languages the Hargreeves know are: English, Spanish, French, German, Korean, Russian and probably Swedish? Also, Greek is an option but kind of questionable, beacuse we know Reginald used to read to them the Odysse in the orginal ancient Greek....

Sorry if this is messy, I was typing as I thought of this just in case I forgot.

Umbrella academy Pokémon AU? Each sibling has an affinity to a legendary maybe?

okay you have made me curious enough to explore this in between my monumental task of scanning in Every Family Photo in the house 

so i’m thinking this is a universe where all these children are just. Found. No parents, nothing, because I want to avoid implications. But the point is that these children are blessed by a legendary, sort of. They’re not pokemon, but they’re not really human either because humans aren’t supposed to have powers like pokemon, right? They’re kind of like human shaped pokemon really

Anyway Reginald collects the kids and squirms through on a technicality because technically the kids aren’t human so he can train them like a pokemon team. And so begins the Umbrella Academy! Which is a team of six because that’s the max number of pokemon on a team of course, sorry Vanya you have to stay behind in the box manor

i’m using this page as a reference because i will freely admit i’m behind on legendaries and sub-legendaries and mythical pokemon and also i don’t really know the difference between those three categories

Luther: 

Zamazenta: Shields the others, durability from steel form, fighter. Has second form which could symbolize Luther going from ‘regular’ human appearance to enhanced form that he is ashamed of as it’s less human.

Terrakion: My guy is built like a brick wall and is strong enough to destroy a castle wall in like, one blow. I love and support them.

Lunala: this one is just me being an asshole because Lunala is known as “the beast that calls the moon” and Luther’s relationship to the moon is a big old thing right there

Diego:

Palkia: this is because Palkia has the ability to warp space which is. Pretty much Diego’s power in the show right? Warps space to that his knives always hit? Also explains Diego’s fight on sight rivalry with Five if Five is Dialga’s lmao Luther stops him from yeeting himself at Five like, at least twice in the show that I remember off the top of my head

Zacian: this is literally just because it’s got a sword and Diego’s power is sharp pointy things so

Virizion: They have knife horns on their head. Knife horns. That’s all.

Allison:

Azelf: Azelf is the bringer of willpower and Allison’s whole thing is overriding that, which Azelf has been shown to be able to do.

Jirachi: her reality powers could be explained by managing to tap into wishes, though Jirachi’s wishes can’t create objects.

Klaus: 

Mew: okay if we’re gently looking at comics Klaus as well then the ability to levitate and be a tiny little shit is absolutely perfect and also makes sense with Reginald’s insistence of Klaus’s incredible potential?? Let me be valid. Also, lives at the tree of life right? Opposite of life is death so that could tie in I guess??????

Yveltal: stealing life energy is as close as I could find to an actual death related legendary I’ll be honest.

Darkrai: he’s nightmares but I mean Klaus has a lot of those so. Seriously where is the pokemon god of the dead like the closest i can find are the legendary beasts because they literally died in a tower (that’s dark)

Five:

Dialga: the obvious choice because Dialga is literally like the time god. Since Dialga lives in another dimension I figure they just kind of scoop Five up and steal him? And so Five is stuck in Dialga’s dimension while he’s trying to both master his powers and get home. While having to deal with his overprotective pokemon dad. Also feeds into his ability to rile Diego up with like one word if Diego is Palkia’s

Celebi: able to travel through time and exist simultaneously through time so a stellar choice for obvious reasons. However, Celebi could also be the one who rescues Five from Dialga’s realm since Celebi can sense if something is a temporal anomaly and return them to their timeline sO that’s a possibility. Shared custody?

Xerneas: look Xerneas has the power to share eternal life and it would neatly explain why Five is just. An eternal thirteen-year-old like he is in the comics so there’s that. He would be so salty about it, too. Five just. turns into a tree for seventeen years after using his powers too much lmao can you imagine?? The tree in the courtyard is actually five surprise bitches

Ben:

Giratina: travels and controls dimensions besides those of time and space which could totally explain his ability to access whatever weird tentacle dimension exists in his stomach?? There we go Ben there is a gate to the distortion world

Deoxys: the closest I could get to a weird tentacle legendary honestly??

Yveltal: stealing life energy and then going to sleep is probably about as scary as tentacles right?? look there’s a distinct lack of weird tentacle legendaries it’s a problem

Vanya:

Meloetta: for that musical tie in yo. Also bulbapedia says that Meloetta is capable of becoming invisible and if that’s not a metaphor for Vanya’s childhood I don’t know what is.

Arceus: i mean. If anyone could end the world in one blow it’s probably the original pokemon god, right?

I’m personally liking Terrakion for Luther, Palkia for Diego, Azelf for Allison, Mew for Klaus, Dialga for Five, Giratina for Ben, and Meloetta for Vanya but there are several i like and also if there are ones y’all want to argue for or throw into the ring let me know! I definitely don’t proclaim to be the most knowledgeable person about pokemon

(especially legendaries which i lost track of years ago rip)

Ben, staring at his hands: If Giratina is my parent. Does that mean arceus is my… grandparent? Is god my grandparent, guys?

just shenanigans

Klaus: yeah i died but mom bailed me out of the afterlife

Luther: mo - you mean mew?

Klaus: oh yeah, mew. lol i dunno how they knew but they highfived me and yeeted me back to life. they have tiny baby hands i love them

Ben: i don’t know what the fuck mew is legend of and at this point i’m too afraid to ask
