"I don't give a shit." Luther walked towards the bar so we followed him.
"The hell is wrong with you, Luther?" Five asked as we stopped in front of him. "I just told you the world's gonna end in ten days."
"Yeah, well, you're always saying that." Luther was about to walk away again but I stopped him this time.
"And so far he's been right."
"Look, you two want to go save the world? Knock yourselves out. All right? I already got a job."
"Wait, you work in this shithole?" Five asked.
"Yeah. Well, my boss owns the place." We nodded. "I'm his body man." I snorted and tried to keep myself from laughing.
"What's that? Like a masseuse or something?"
"Okay, you can make fun all you want, but I take good care of Mr. Ruby."
"Wait, Ruby. The Jack Ruby?" I asked a bit shocked my brother was working for him.
"The gangster who shot Oswald?" Five added.
"Yup, the one and only."
"Well, it finally happened. That gorilla DNA has taken over your mind." Five said.
"Hey, watch it, all right? Jack's a good friend." Luther defended.
"More like your new daddy, shocked you got over Reggie." I mumbled and Luther glared at me.
"Well, I'm shocked you can even stand to be in the same room as Five, considering he stranded you here for almost a year." I grabbed a drink that was on the bar and tossed the liquid on Luther's face.
"Sorry for forgiving the love of my life for an accident he didn't mean to happen, to hell with you Luther. I'll see you outside Five." I quickly kissed Five's cheek and walked outside.
~~Five's P.O.V~~
"Good job shit head." I told Luther after Esme left.
"It's not like it wasn't the truth." Luther simply said as he wiped his face with a nearby towel. Maybe he was right. I did strand her here like everyone and she has no right to forgive me but yet she does. I pushed those thoughts to the back of my brain and continued trying to convince Luther.
"Listen to me you idiot monkey, you aren't supposed to be here, you are Number One. Número Uno. Remember?"
"There is no Number One. Not anymore. Not in 1963. Look, I've been stranded here alone for a year. What did you expect?"
"I get it, all right? You watched Pogo die, the world exploded, and I marooned your big dumbass in time. I'm sorry, okay? But I'm asking for you help, Luther. The Umbrella Academy needs you." I gently told him.
"It doesn't need me." Luther scoffed. "It never did."
"Luther, honey, Jack's about to lose it on some half-wit. A little help?" A waitress came over and told him.
"Ah, shit." Luther started walking away when I stopped him.
"Luther, wait."
"Listen." Luther snapped around. "You're the genius who said we should jump. Right? You're the one who got Esme, and the rest of us stuck here. And you're the one who brought Vanya. So if there is a doomsday coming, she's probably the cause. And if I was gonna do something about it, it sure as hell is not gonna be with you." Everything he said hit close to home, it was all my fault, everything. I shook my head and walked outside and saw Esme waiting on a bench. She turned when she saw me.
