FLASHBACK

The car pulled up in front of the academy with a ton of fans cheering, we all walked out, five after me. When we start walking there a boy around my age grabs my arm, he's not in the barricade.

"Excuse me. I'm your biggest fan." he says to me

"Oh, thank you but-" I get interrupted by five

"Hey, hey. Don't touch her, you're not supposed to be out of the barricade." five says as he grabs the boys shoulder

"Five, he's okay, really--"

"Get back behind the barricade!" Reggie says

"It's just... I was born on the same day as the Academy kids. I think I'm like them. I must be. I haven't quite figured out what my power is... yet. But maybe with your help, we can find out." the boy says

"You have no power. You never will have power. Now go home."

"No, please. Just... I... You have to let me stay. I came all this way. Please don't make me go back."

"Somethings wrong..." you whisper to five

"What do you mean?" he whispers back

"The boy is eager to stay here, he really doesn't want to go home...what if something bad is happening to him, his heart is just too set on not going home, he doesn't seem to like his home life..."

"Well, we shouldn't assume that, maybe he's just a really big fan and wants to be one of us really bad."

"But what if you're wrong? What if he's being treated wrong at home?"

"Well... I don't know..." he answers back in a whisper. By the time you start listening to what's happening Reggie threw him off his property, the crowd started laughing and all the kids went inside except you and five, neither of you were laughing, it looks like I got into five's head and now he's worried for the boy too.

"Get in now, children." reggie says pushing you and five inside

"I'm sorry." you mouth to the boy and he sees

PRESENT TIME

"Who the hell is Harold Jenkins?" Diego asks. Five drinks the rest of his coffee and throws the cup in the living room.

"I don't know... yet. But I do know that he's responsible for the apocalypse. So we have to find him. And we have to do it now." five says. You finally get up as your headache gets better and stand next to five

"How is he connected to what's gonna happen?" luther asks

"I don't know."

"Wait, so you just know his name? That's it?" diego asks

"That's enough."

"There's probably dozens of Harold Jenkinses in the city."

"Well, we better start looking, then."

"I'm sorry. Am I the only one that's skeptical here? I mean, how exactly do you know all of this about what's his name?" allison says and in the corner of your eye you see five look in pain

"Harold Jenkins. You know those lunatics in masks who attacked the house?"

"Oh, yeah, I think I remember those guys." klaus says

"Yeah, the ones that attacked us while you were getting drunk." diego says

"Five got drunk after they attacked the house, not during." you say
