EVERLASTING , five hargreeves

XIII. | THIRTEEN

Five stumbled down the hall way, bouncing between walls to lean against. He refused Y/n's help and after a while she had given up on it. He was carrying a bowl and had his blazer slung over his shoulder. They reached the end of the hallway, Y/n tugging him to the left. She spammed the elevator button.

He dropped the bowl as well as his blazer, vomiting in the plant nearby.

"Five," She turned around and rubbed circles into his back, "Are you okay?"

He looked up at her, "I'm fine."

She sighed and went back to pressing the elevator button repeatedly, "The hell is taking so long?"

The bell finally dinged and the doors slid open as Five stumbled back into the elevator. He fainted down to the ground, probably hitting his head.

"Oh, shit." Y/n went after him and not long after, blacked out as well.

Y/n awoke the next morning in a random hotel room on an unknown floor. Her head was pounding and it felt as if someone had wrapped bandages around her head a few times too many. She was wearing a set of pajamas that she must've found at some point and her shoes were laying on the bathroom floor and the dress was tossed next to them. The door was wide open as Reginald peeked his head in, seeing he was at the right room and handing her a tray of stuff. It consisted of some toast and water, along with some painkillers.

"Oh, god." She rolled her eyes. "What are you doing in here? And... how did I get in here?"

"I'm not sure of that myself. I was walking by when I saw you, figured you'd have a hangover with how intoxicated you were last night." Reginald set the tray on her bed.

She took the painkillers, washing them down with some water, "There's something else to it."

"May I remind you I'm not the father you grew up with? We're similar in looks, sure. But our circumstances are quite different."

"May I remind you you're not my father at all? My mother just dropped me on your doorstep after a few months. You never even bothered to legally adopt me." She scoffed, taking a deep breath, "What do you need?"

"What makes you think I need anything?"

"Because you wouldn't be here if you didn't." She shrugged, "So just tell me before I change my mind."

"... I've called a meeting in the lobby at noon. I'd like for you to attend."

"Oh, okay." Y/n nodded, "No."

"No?"

"I'm not interested in whatever crazed scheme you've plotted to kill us in this timeline, or any other."

"So you chose to let the world burn because of whatever I may have done to you in a revenant version of myself?"

"Whatever I may have done to you?" She repeated, "You put me through years of training, and treated me like a lab rat when Five left because I stopped aging. And to get me to age, you forcefully gave me drugs that I got addicted to, couldn't be bothered to put me through rehab, so you locked me up in the basement to go through withdrawals, and now I keep getting random powers because of it, and to top it all off, you kept me locked up in a house for 17 years. So, no, I'm not exactly invested in what you have to say."
