The Times We've Had

Hair Of The Dog

Liana~

I knock on Klaus' door and walk in.

"Hey. Get up. We're going." I say walking over to his bed.

"Where?" He asks.

"To save the world." I retort.

"Oh, is that all? Great." He sighs getting up.

"So, Pogo said Dad killed himself to get us all back together, right?" Five paces the room.

"Yeah, so?" Klaus groans.

"So, it got me thinking. We had to jump to the future to figure out when it happened, but Dad he can't time travel." Five rambles.

"Right, so the big ol question is. How the hell did he know to kill himself a week before the end of the world?" I speak up.

"Oh, well, you know.." Klaus says.

"Don't answer. That was purely rhetorical." I stop him.

"Truth is, our whole lives, he's been telling us we'd save the world from an impending apocalypse." Five cuts in.

"Yeah, but I always thought he just said that to scare us into doing the dishes." Klaus replies.

"Me too. But what if the old man really knew it was going to happen?" Five says.

"Yeah, but knew how?" Klaus sniffs his shirt.

"No idea." I sigh

"But the fact remains, his fakakta plan worked. We all came home." I point out.

"And since we're here, we might as well save the world."

"Oh yeah? What, like, the three of us?" Klaus says.

"Mm, well, ideally, no, but.. gotta work with what I've got." I walk out and they both follow.

Diego runs down the hall.

"Where have you been?" Five asks.

"Jail." He says running into his room.

"Long story. Where's Luther?"

"Haven't seen him since breakfast." I furrow my brows.

"Yeah. Two days before the world ends. He picks a great time to drop off the grid." Klaus remarks.

"Shit." Diego spits out.

"Allison is in danger."

The three of us look at each other then back at him.

We walk into a gloomy bar and I spot Luther drinking a beer at a table.

"Look." I point him out.

We walk towards him.

"Trying a little hair of the dog, are we? Hm?" Klaus hums.

"Leave me alone." Luther says glumly looking down.

"Give us a minute." Diego sits down motioning for us to leave them alone.

"Okay. Come on. Maybe they'll brood each other to death." Klaus remarks and we all walk over to another table.

They lean on it and I hop onto the table and sit in between them.

We wait for Diego to give Luther a little pep talk or some shit.

Klaus taps my shoulder and I turn to him.

He taps his wrist and I sigh knowing we don't have time for this.
