I took that as my turn to reveal myself as well, I stepped out and stood beside Five, Five.2 had a look of shock on his face. I gave him and looked at him.
"Damn Five, age isn't your strongest suit." I joked (the idea for this line came from @lissettekoda thank you for the idea
We all sat down at a table and sat there in an awkward silence as Five and Five stared each other down.
"Well...this is nice, isn't it? The four of us, together like this." Luther said trying to break the silence
"No." Both Fives say
"Someone explain to me how it is I'm having a pint of Guinness younger self." Five.2 says as he stared at Five
"Older, actually. I'm you, just 14 days older." My Five explained
"I have pubic hairs smarter than you. How is that possible?" He asked
I awkwardly scratched my neck as I took a drink.
"I can explain. You see, one hour from now on the grassy knoll, before the president is killed, you break your contract with the Commission. I already know you're thinking about it. All those years in the apocalypse, we never stopped worrying about our family. Well, today, you are going to do something about it. Today, you are going to attempt to time travel forward to 2019. However, you are going to screw up the jump and end up in this twip of a body. Trapped, forever, small, pubescent." Five explains to him
"Okay." Other Five says before a small noise is heard in the air
"Even if I was to believe you, what am I supposed to do about it, not jump?" Other Five asked
"No, no. I need you to jump. If you don't jump, I cease to exist. What I need is for you to jump correctly." Five explained to him
My heart dropped at the thought of Five ceasing to exist.
"I'm listening."
"The first time through, I got the calculations wrong. That's how I ended up in this body. But now, I know the correct calculation."
"What is it?" Moustache Five asked
"I'll be glad to tell you...in exchange for that briefcase you're holding under the table." Five bargained
"Yeah, yeah, so you go back to 2019, as planned but this time with the right math, so you remain a full grown man. In exchange, we get that briefcase that you no longer need." Luther joined in
If Fives body turns into an adult, what happens to me?
"Timeline restored, paradox resolved. Everyone goes on existing happily ever after."
"That's quite a bit to take in." Five.2 admitted
"What do you think?" Five asked
It took a long time for Five.2 to answer leaving us in suspense for a little bit.
"I think...I need to piss." Other Five said before getting up and going, taking the briefcase with him.
Five adjusted in his seat catching our attention, he was sweating like a waterfall.
"Oh." Luther said as he noticed, he took his napkin and started to dab Fives head with it.
"Well, besides the flop sweat, I think that went pretty well am I right?" Luther asked him happily
"No, no, there's something... something doesn't feel right about this." Five suddenly said as he moved around a lot
"I mean you're having a drink with your other self, I'm pretty sure that qualifies as not being right." I joked to try to lighten his mood
"What...what do you mean?" Luther asked him
"I don't trust him." Five admitted wide eyed
"But he's you." Luther pointed out
"Exactly."
I turned more to Five and put my hand on his cheek and make him meet my eyes.
"Hey, look at me. Everything's fine, nothing bad has happened yet, he hasn't given us a reason not to trust him so until then you need to calm down." I try to reassure him, he took a couple breaths and nodded
I started giggling and I took my hand off.
"You're cheek's really sweaty." I laughed as I wiped my hand with my napkin. I turn and see Luther looking at us with a huge smile on his face, I gave him a confused look and he stopped.
"I'm gonna go to the bathroom." He told us as he got up and strutted off
Fives hand started to shake up and down on the table at a quick speed as he eyed the door to the bathroom. I sighed and grabbed his hand, interlocking our fingers so that he would stop, he did as he sweated more, I handed him a napkin and laughed.
"It's kinda funny seeing you act like this." I told him
Five started to swish his glass around in his hand, then put it down once the guys came back.
"We good?" Five asked
"We're good." Luther confirmed
"You got a deal." Five.2 said
His eyes went down to mine and Fives hand on the table, I noticed this and let go, not wanting questions asked.
"We gotta hurry. Kennedy's en route. Less than an hour until showtime." Five.2 told us
Five got up and stood directly opposite of the other Five
"Why are you so anxious to get going all of a sudden?" Five asked him
"Relax. You're getting paranoid." Five.2 pointed out before scratching his face on his shoulder.
"Oh, am I?"
Both of them let out gas which made me roll my eyes and scratch my head in frustration.
"Can't we just go?" I ask them
"Okay, let's roll." Luther said taking up my idea.
I internally thanked him and followed behind him and the Fives. As they walked out my chest continuously felt like it was getting ripped into shreds, I stumbled a couple of times but endured it, now wasn't the time for me problems. I felt something trickle on my nose, I brought my hand to my face.
"Shit." I said to myself as I looked at the crimson blood wiped on my hand...
Something was wrong
