Chapter 12

They looked for clues to where they could find them through their stuff. Diego found a bag and decided to look through it to find Vanya's book. He opened it and flipped through the pages until he was back to the front page.

He whistled as he found various equations scribbled all over the page. Until he suddenly found a printed stamp on it. He showed it to Luther when he took notice of the noise that he made. "I know where to find them."

Lance, Five, and Y/N were walking down the street towards the entrance to the lab. They were all quiet and their pace was fast.

Until they saw smoke coming from the building. Five came into a halt then ran in front of the building. He was hoping it wasn't from the lab.

Unfortunately, it was coming from it. No.. Five thought.

The lab was the only place where he could find the buyer of the eye. But now, it was up in flames. The girl felt sorry for him. "Five watch out!" He heard Y/N shout.

The next thing he knew, an explosion erupted from the entrance. He was expecting to be blown away by it, but he didn't. He looked up and saw Y/N with her hands up, creating a shield around them. (Something like Violet's from Incredibles.) The boy didn't know she could do that. Even the girl had no idea.

When it calmed down, Y/N retracted her hand, removing the shield as she stumbled back. For a second, she felt dizzy that she almost fell out of balance. Thankfully, Five was there to get back on her feet.

"How did you do that?" Asked Five. He was surprised despite of everything that was happening.

"I have no idea." The girl was shocked for a short moment until she turned her attention to him. "You okay?" She asked, panting.

"Physically, yes." He muttered.

The both of them looked at the building while it burned to the ground. Y/N was lost in thought. There has to be another way..

"Come on, we need to go somewhere." The boy suddenly piped up.

"Where?"

"A place where we can find another way to stop the apocalypse."

Number Eight was bewildered. But she followed him anyways. Of course, he brought Delores along with a bottle of vodka and a notebook. The H/C haired girl eyed it as if it was a piece of meat.

Although she can contain herself, it was still tempting. She looked away as they moved on.

They suddenly came into a halt in front of a public library. Y/N gave Five a questioning look, but she didn't intervene anymore. She was tired.

The boy set down Delores and the bottle of vodka down on a corner and left with Y/N to grab themselves books about probability and statistics.

Number Eight pointed out a few for Five to pick as she holds up half of the books they got. People looked at them amusedly. They looked like a couple of school kids who are advanced at their studies.

Once they had enough, they went back to the corner where they left Delores and started working. Five started scribbling on his notebook and Y/N was quietly reading the textbook, familiarizing herself.

She helped Five solve the equations. Sometimes they would argue or start a new one. It went on for hours until the whole notebook was full.

But it didn't stop there, they started scribbling on the wall. Then, if one of them was stressed, they'd take a big swig off vodka.
