"I don't tattoo children." pogo says

"Swell, I'm not here for the ink. I'm here because you and I have a mutual friend. Sir Reginald Hargreeves." five says

"Whatever he wants, I'm not interested."

"I don't think you understand. I'm one of his children. From another timeline." you look around and see people coming closer

"Five..." you say

"Another timeline?"

"Five, they're getting closer..." you whisper and he looks around and notices this

"As crazy as it sounds, you and I have met before. Back in 1963, when you were a diaper-wearing chimp in dire need of a manicure. I don't know if you remember, but I have a scar to prove it." five says

"If what you're saying is true, I'd be talking to a man well into his sixties. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've had a very long day." pogo says

"Pogo, you need to listen to me." but the men block Five from getting to Pogo as he leaves

"Time to go home to Mommy, li'l guy. As for this pretty little thing... she'll be staying with us." one of the men says and the others laugh

"Or what?" five asks, you kick the man in the shin and then five blinks you outside and see Pogo driving away on his motorcycle "Shit. Hey, I need your bike. It's an emergency."

"I think you have me confused with someone who gives a shit. You can get on though, pretty thing." the guy on the motorcycle winks at you and you scrunch your face in disgust

"Give me the bike or else..." but the guy on the motorcycle drives away "Okay." five spacial jumps with you on the bike and throws the other guy off, she quickly gets on it and manages to not crash luckily, he is now following Pogo on his bike

"Wow, I didn't know you could drive a motorcycle." you say

"Guess you learn something new every day." he says and you chuckle and lean your head against his back as your wrap your arms around his waist

~~~~~~~~~

It has been a couple hours and it is light outside now, Five finally arrives at the destination and pulls up outside a trailer, he parks and helps you get off

"Thanks." you whisper and he smiles and nods in response, then he walks up to the women sitting outside the trailer smoking

"Can I help you?" she asks

"Need a word with Pogo." five says

"Ain't no Pogo here, Pumpkin."

"Okay." he continues walking to the trailer and she stands up

"So I suggest you get your ass off my property before I call a truant officer."

"It's okay, Tammy. Let the boy in." pogo says from inside the trailer, five smiles, he grabs your hand and walks inside, pogo motions for you both to sit, and you do, the you hear a gun cock under the table and then another one that Tammy is holding up to your head, you don't flinch though "You're either dumb or desperate. Which is it?"

"You tell me." five pulls the tattoo out of his pocket

"That looks like my work, but I never did that tattoo."

"Not yet you haven't. I cut it off my 100-year-old self."

"Ah, so desperate it is."

"Very." you say

"You would be too if you knew the entire universe was at stake." five says

"So it's happened." pogo un-cocks his gun and Tammy does the same and sits down on another chair "Ah, here it is. Look familiar?" pogo hands Five a book with symbols in it "Reggie was obsessed with these symbols. It's a sigil. A symbol thought to have magical powers."

"Dad believed in science, facts. I didn't respect much about the old man, but I respected that. Hoo-ha was not his thing. It's gotta have a rational meaning."

"I don't know, but he referred to it as Project Oblivion."

"This project. I need to know more."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"It was a kamikaze mission." pogo says "He was preparing the Sparrow children with the expectation they might never return. That's why I gave the children those pills, to keep them safe from him."

"Well, my druggie brother just got him sober. Go figure." five says

"Five, he isn't a druggie anymore." you say

"You know what I mean."

"Then project Oblivion is starting again, and you are all in danger." pogo says

"Then I should probably get that ink. Complete the loop." five stands up

"Are you sure?"

"Oh, I don't think destiny cares whether I am or not." five takes off his blazer

"Bitch is cruel, ain't she?" Tammy says and stands up from where she was sitting and hands pogo his tattoo supplies

"Let me help you." you say and sit next to Five, you help him take off his tie

"Well then, let's get started." pogo says. You get Five's tie off and he unbuttons the rest, you can't help but stare, you are surprised, but he actually has abs. You didn't realize how long you were exactly staring though.

"Enjoying the view?" five asks and smiles and you look up at him

"Oh, shush." you smile and hold his hand as he gets tattooed, (He doesn't need you to hold his hand since he has a high pain tolerance and is strong, but since you are in a new relationship, you want any excuse you can find to hold hands or kiss or anything like that)



I know this was short and about 2,000 less words than I usually do, but there were not as many Five scenes in this episode so there wasn't any need for it to be longer
