Not Even Close || Number Five x Fem!Reader

Chapter 18

"He's got a point there." Klaus muttered as he sulked on the side if his seat.

"We didn't choose this life we're just living it."

"For the next three days, anyway." Y/N mumbled after Five's statement.

"But the last time we tried to stop it, we all died." Allison argued, "Why is this time any different? Why shouldn't I go home with my daughter?" Y/N internally groaned.

"Because this time, I'm here." Five answered, "We have the name of the man responsible. Guys, we actually have the chance of saving the lives of billions of people."

Y/N agreed, although she couldn't say anything else to convince them. It looked like Five already had taken care of it himself.

"Including Claire." Five added as he looked at Allison. His sister looked up at him when she heard her daughter's name, "You know her name?"

"I do, and I'd like to live long enough to meet her." He said. Number Eight smiled faintly that nobody ever noticed it. Well, except for Ben, of course, who had some thoughts that she could  hear loud and clear.

By then, Allison was convinced, "All right." She stood up straight with pride, "Let's get this bastard."

"You had me at Gerald Jenkins." Diego followed.

"Harold Jenkins." Y/N corrected.

"Whatever. I've already lost two people this week, I'm not losing anyone else." He replied as he walked over to the exit.

"And Luther?" Five turned to him, hoping that he'd come with them.

"Yeah, you go. I'm gonna stay behind and go through Dad's files." Luther informed, "I still think it has something to do with why he sent me to the Moon."

"Seriously? Now you wanna make the end of the world about you and Dad?" Diego snarked. Y/N exclaimed a groan. Here we go again. She thought.

"No. “Watch for threats.” That's what he told me. You think that's a coincidence? This all has to be connected somehow." Luther urged.

"No, we should stick together." Allison insisted.

"We don't have time for this." Five and Y/N reminded in unison.

"Let's roll. I know where we can find this asshole." Diego's eyes darted over to his brother, "Klaus, you're with me."

Though he refused, "Yeah, I-I'm good." He said, swatting his arm, "I think I'll, uh... I think I'll pass, I'm.." He stood up from his seat and headed for the stairs, "feeling a little under the weather, so.."

"All right. Get some rest. We're gonna find this bastard." Y/N consoled him as she headed out.

"What? No. You should stay and rest." Until Five stopped her. She rolled her eyes at him in frustration, "I'm okay, Five. Want proof?"

She didn't wait for an answer as she back flipped and did a back handspring over to the door. She landed spot on without getting dizzy or whatnot.
"See? I'm fine. I just need to give my powers a rest until I need them."

"Fine. Just be careful." Five reluctantly gave in as they walked out of the house without another word.

Diego parked the car in front of the station. Everyone sat there quietly as they looked at the building. Diego took off his seat belt and turned to his siblings, "I know this Jenkins dud has to have a record. We gotta get our hand on his file."

"And your plan is to what? Waltz in there and just ask for it?" Allison questioned sarcastically.

"I know the station like the back of my hand, sis. I spent a lot of time inside." Diego remarked.

Y/N scoffed, "Yeah, you did. In handcuffs." She folded her arms and leaned back.

Diego rolled his eyes at her, "Whatever. Here's the plan."

"Plan?" Five repeated, "I'm just gonna blink in and get the file." Y/N shot him a look as if she was telling him to let Diego do it. But of course, he wasn't looking.

"No, that's not.." Diego trailed out, "You don't know the ins and outs of this place, okay? Only I know it and so does Y/N, but she's not in a good shape right now." Y/N, once again, rolled her eyes.

"I literally just did this yesterday." Allison and Diego gave him a bewildered look, "What?"

"Well, my yesterday, not your yesterday." He explained, "It'll take me two seconds. Why don't I just go?"

"Listen to me. You are not going in there. I made a call. That's what a leader does. He leads." Diego chimed with pride before getting themselves out of the car.

Diego went down the alley and waited for Patch's colleague, Beeman. While the rest of them were standing by the building, waiting for him to finish up.

Allison walked over to a payphone nearby to call Vanya. She was left with a voicemail, so she just went on and spoke up about how sorry she was and how she just wanted to be a good sister.

While that was happening, Y/N noticed Five grunting in pain once again. He tried his best to cover it up, but Y/N wasn't going to let go about it that easily.

"Alright, you've been grunting and grimacing the whole time, what the heck is up with you?" Y/N asked Five.

"It doesn't matter." He muttered as he clutched the spot where he was in pain.

"Really?" Y/N scoffed as she looked at him, "Then why are you clutching your torso for dear life?" She was worried about him, whether she does like him or not. But Five just ignored her about it as if she didn't exist. It frustrated her. He could worry about her for being unconscious, but she can't worry about him for the pain he was in? Well that's just plain bullshit. She thought.

"You are being such a hypocrite right now." She grumbled as she looked away.

By then, Diego was back. Five noticed him first, "So?"

Diego showed a blue file as if it was a magical item, "You're welcome." Y/N smiled faintly at her brother's silliness.

Allison snatched the file from behind and opened it. The shock on her face was obvious. "Holy shit." She exclaimed.

"What?"

She showed the contents of the file at them to see a picture of a man whom she never trusted.

"Harold Jenkins is Leonard Peabody."
