Five threw his empty cup over his shoulder and decided to answer the question his siblings asked Remy.
"We don't know.. yet." He simply stated.
"But we do know that he's responsible for the apocalypse." Five shrugged as his siblings looked at him incredously.
"So we have to find him. And we have to do it now." Remy chimed in.
"How is he connected to what's gonna happen?" Luther asked.
"I don't know." Remy shrugged once again.
"Wait, so you just know his name?" Diego took a step forward.
"That's it?" He raised an eyebrow.
"That's enough." Five stated.
"There's probally dozens of Harold Jenkinses in this city." Diego uttered.
"Well, we just better start looking, then." Five offered.
"I'm sorry. Am I the only one that's sceptical here?" Allison spoke up as Five let out a small grunt.
"I mean, how exactly do you know all of this about what's his name?" She continued.
"Harold Jenkins. You know those lunatics in masks who attacked the house?" Remy asked.
"Oh, yeah, I think I remember those guys." Klaus said softly and Remy shared a knowing glance with him.
"Yeah, the ones that attacked us while you were getting drunk." Diego said.
"Actually, we only got drunk the day after that." Remy pointed out but Diego ignored him.
"Yeah. Them." Five brushed the previous comments off.
"They were sent by the Temps Commission to stop us from going back and preventing the end of life on Earth." Remy continued for Five.
"The Temps what?" Allison shook her head in confusion.
"Our former employer. They monitor all of time and space-" Remy started
"-to make sure that whatever is supposed to happen.." Five finished his sentence.
"Happens." Remy continued.
"They believe the apocalypse is coming in three days." Five spoke again.
"So we went to Commission headquarters-" Remy started.
"-and intercepted a message that was meant-" Five finished.
"-for said lunatics." Remy finished the other boy's sentence once again.
" 'Protect Harold Jenkins.' " He continued.
"So he must be responsible-"
"-for the apocalypse." The boys continued finishing each other's sentences.
The other four Hargreeves in front of them stared at them with widened eyes.
"Do you- Do you do that often?" Klaus was the first to speak up.
"Do what?" Remy frowned.
"Finish each other's sentences.." Diego trailed off with a small frown.
"I didn't even realize- I don't know." Remy cut himself of in confusion.
Did he and Five really finish each other's sentences? Huh, remarkable. The room became dead silent for a few seconds, the four confused siblings were all staring in space, deep in thought. And then they all spoke at the same time.
"What do you mean, protect time and space?"
"Where is this Hazel, Five?"
"I'm going to find Hazel and Cha-cha."
"My skin is on fire."
"Do you have any idea how insane this sounds?" Everyone shouted through each other making Remy's headache come up again.
"You know what else is insane?" Remy raised his voice to shut everyone up.
"Five here, looks like a 13-year-old boy. And i look like I'm a teenager too! Klaus talks to the dead, adn Luther thinks he's fooling everyone with that overcoat. Everything about us is insane. It always has been." Remy spat out.
"He's got a point there." Klaus said from the couch he was laying on.
"We didn't choose this life, we're just living it." Remy shrugged annoyed.
"For the next three days, anyway." Five pointed out.
"But the last time we tried to stop it, we all died." Allison reminded.
"Why is this time different? Why shouldn't I go home to my daughter?" She questioned.
"Because this time we're here. We have the name of the man responsible. Guys, we actually have the chance of saving lives of billions of people." Five answered firmly.
"Including Claire." Remy spoke up, proud of himself to have remembered the name.
"You know here name?" Allison looked up.
"I do, and we'd like to live long enough to meet her, isn't that right?" Remy looked at Five for confirmation and the boy gave a firm nod.
"Alright." Allison seemed convinced.
"Let's get this bastard." She started walking.
"You had me at Gerald jenkins." Diego spoke up.
"Harold Jenkins." Five corrected.
"Whatever. I've already lost two people this week, I'm not losing anyone else." Diego shared a look with Luther before walking towards Allison.
"And Luther?" Five asked the man.
"Yeah. You guys go. I'm gonna stay behind and go through Dad's files. I still think this has something to do with why he sent me to the Moon." Luther spoke, as soon as Remy heard the words a weird feeling formed in his gut but the boy couldn't quite place the emotion behind it.
"Seriously? Now you wanna make the end of the world about you and your Dad?" Remy felt himself getting annoyed.
"No. 'Watch for threats.' That's what he told me. You think that's a coincidence? This all has to be connected somehow." Luther shot back with a small glare.
"No, we should all stick together." Allison tried to convince the man.
"We don't have time for this." Five spoke up.
"Let's roll. I know where we can find this asshole. Klaus, Remy, you're with me. If that's alright with Five at least?" Diego looked at Five for confirmation at his last words, luckily the boy hummed in agreement.
"Yeah. I- I'm good." Klaus spoke up though.
"I think I'll, uh.. I think I'll pass, I'm.. Feeling a little under the weather, so, uh.." He stood up and walked past them, when he reached the door frame he let out a groan while clutching his stomach.
Remy, Five and Diego followed after the man with a fast pace. When they reached the front-door Remy stopped in his tracks, almost making Five bump into him.
"You guys go, Allison is coming with you too. I'll check on Klaus and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid." Remy glanced at where Klaus was walking away from them.
"Remy.." Five trailed off.
"No. I talked to him earlier and I know why's he's acting like this. It's best if I'm the one to stay with him." Remy stood his ground and Five let out a sigh before nodding and opening the door.
Remy followed after Klaus who was walking around the house.
