CHAPTER 28 ☂︎ THE POOR BABY

Outside his door, Klaus could hear faint little whispers. He ignored them, continuing to try to knit.
    
"You knock on it, you pulled me here."
    
"You knock on it, my hands are tinnier, so it won't be as loud. And also I'm injured."
    
"I'm injured too. Fine, I will."
     
Y/n knocked on Klaus' door, then pushed it opened. Five and her stepping into the room, more like Five hobbling into the room.
    
"Hey. Get up. We're going." Five told Klaus as he stood in front of the bed.
    
"Where?" Klaus questioned, messing with a ball of yarn and knitting needles.
    
"To save the world." Five said as Y/n sat on the bed right beside Klaus' shoulder.
    
"Oh, is that all? Great." Klaus said sarcastically, moving the needles and yarn onto the bed and off his chest.
    
"So, Pogo said Dad killed himself to get us all back together, right?" Five asked, hobbling back and forth while Klaus started to get out of bed.
    
"Yeah, so?" Klaus asked tiredly, sitting on the edge of the bed to put on socks.
    
"So, it got me thinking. I had to jump to the future to figure out when it happened," Five paused, looking up at Klaus, then to Y/n, "but Dad, he can't time travel. So how'd the crazy bastard actually know to kill himself a week before the end of the world?"
    
"Well, you know..." Klaus started to say slowly before Y/n cut him off.
    
"Magic." She loudly whispered, grinning at Five.
    
He ignored her, "Truth is, he's been telling us our whole lives we'd save the world from an impending apocalypse." Five turned to look at the two, then started pacing again.
    
"Yeah, but I always thought he just said that to scare us into doing the dishes." Klaus spoke, putting on his right shoe.
    
"Me too," Five turned back towards them, "But what if the old man really knew it was going to happen?" He walked closer to them.

Klaus stood up, holding a multi-colored tie-dyed shirt, "Yeah, but knew how?"

"No idea." Five responded to his brother as Y/n stood up as well. "But the fact remains, his fakakta plan worked." He looked up at Klaus as he sniffed his shirt. "We all came home. Since we're here we might as well save the world."

"Oh yeah? What," Klaus pulled his shirt over his head, "like," He looked at Y/n on his right then back to Five in front of him, "the three of us?"

"Uh, well," Five started walking away, Y/n following, and Klaus behind her, who was grabbing his vest, "ideally, no, but... gotta work with what I got."

"Hey! I'm the best you've got." Y/n interjected as she poked Five's shoulder.

"You probably are." He responded, glancing back only slightly at her while Klaus put on his vest.

"There is no 'probably'." She said sternly, holding up her fingers as quotation marks.

"Where have you been?" Five asked Diego as he ran through the hallway, taking off his jacket.

"Jail." Diego and Y/n answered as he ran into his room. Y/n silently celebrated that she guessed correctly.
 
Y/n, Five, and Klaus stopped in front of Diego's door. "Long story. Where's Luther?" Diego asked.

"Haven't seen him since breakfast." Five answered, glancing up at his brother as Klaus put his hands in his back pockets of his pants.

"Yeah. Two days until the world ends," Klaus started as Y/n put her arms on his and Five's shoulders, "he picks a great time to drop off the grid."

Diego now stood in the doorway. "Shit," He said quietly as he started clipping his vest, that was covered in knives, on. "Allison is in danger." As Diego said this, the three looked at each in confusion.

"What kind of danger?" Y/n stepped forward, asking sternly.

The four of them piled into Diego's car, on a search to find Luther. They found him at bar called the Irish Republic.

"Look," Klaus said, pointing as they walked in. Luther was sitting at a table by himself, sulking. "Trying a little hair of the dog, are we? Hm?"

Luther looked at the four, then back down to drink. "Leave me alone." He said before taking a sip.

"Ooh! This is not the time t–" Y/n huffed, getting pulled back by Klaus and Five.

"Give us a minute," Diego requested, sitting down next to Luther.

"Diego, we don't have a minute." Y/n told him with wide eyes.

"Okay, come on. Maybe they'll brood each other to death." Klaus joked, making Y/n smile a little. But she went back to her straight face, following Klaus and Five to another table.

"Aw, the poor baby, his dad lied to him, well my dad tried to fucking kill me!" Y/n thought, clenching her fist tightly, taking a seat on the table. She relaxed after Klaus put a hand on her shoulder. He was wondering what was going on in her hand. She was worried about Allison. Yes, Allison can take care of herself, but the rumors don't work on everyone.

Luther and Diego talked. Y/n was too far away to hear what they saying, but it looked like Luther wouldn't cooperate. She looked back at Five and Klaus. Klaus was pointing to his wrist, meaning they were running out of time. It looked like Luther was starting to listen to Diego.

"You should have led with that!" Luther shouted at him, making Y/n glance up at the two. has Luther pushed his chair back abruptly, standing up, "Jesus Christ!" He started to run to leave the building, breaking the glass door, "Shit!" The rest of the them following after him.
