'NUMBER FIVE'
Y/n Hargreeves POV:
"How are you feeling y/n?", Luther asked,
"I'm fine", I replied as I felt more alive now, Luther nodded then turned towards Five,
"Former employer? what's this really about? and don't give me any of this 'it's none of your business' crap, all right?"
"well it's a long story", he sighed then began, "They turned me into the perfect instrument for the rehabilitation of the time continuum, or 'corrections' as they called them."
"wait a minute", I tried to interrupt but he went on,
"I wasn't the only one there are others like me, beings out of time, fractured, extracted from the lives they knew. I don't know how they got there. But I do know that none of them were as good as me", I scoffed at that statement,
"They didn't realize it but I was biding my time, trying to figure out the right equation so I could get back, If I could just go back I knew I could stop the apocalypse, save the world", he didn't realize but he was holding my hand right now and I did nothing to make him realize,
"So I broke my contract", he finished as he grasped my hand tightly, I could see the regret in his eyes for killing those people which showed me how opposite we were, I loved killing those people and he hated it all he tried to do was get back here and I who had the option still chose otherwise,
"so you were a hitman?", Luther asked as he handed five and me something to eat, which made him leave my hand and reach out,
"Yes"
"Uhh... I mean you had a code, right? you didn't just kill anybody", Luther asked still trying to wrap his head around it
"No code, We took out anyone who messed with the timeline", Five replied, still regret in his eyes,
'But they never took me out,' I thought to myself cause for as long as I can remember that man used to fix the timeline by killing someone who would get things back online maybe I was never the one who messed it up? who knows and then I realized why, as I was lost in my thoughts five and Luther had their conversation which I missed out on but some kind of metal clanking made me snap back,
We decided to head home and as soon as we reached I initiated, "Five we need to talk"
"sure let's go to my room", I nodded but on the way we crossed Klaus, he was in his room shirtless and itching like crazy, and when our gaze turned to the right I saw blood on the tub,
"oh boy", he groaned, I and five went in his room, as five knocked,
"Klaus are you okay?", I asked concerned, as I told you all he's my favourite,
"hey", he said in a soft voice his face looked like he just cried, as he came and hugged me, I gave five a look but hugged him back tightly,
"you okay?", five asked, as Klaus pulled back from our hug,
"Yeah, long night", he had gone back and was now wearing his shirt,
"More than one from the looks of it", five said stepping in next to me, and placed his hands in his pockets, iconic
"Yeah", Klaus exhaled
"Don't remember the dog tags", I stated as I crossed my arms and leaned on the wall
"Yeah, they belonged to a friend", he replied pulling his shirt over them
"How about that new tattoo", Five questioned,
"You know, I don't totally remember even getting it, Like I said it was a long night", and at that me and five both gave each other a glance, with a slight smirk,
"You did it didn't you?", I asked maintaining the smirk as Klaus went and sat down,
"What are you talking about?", he asked after sitting,
"You know I can recognize the symptoms Klaus", Five stated as he went closer to Klaus,
"symptoms of what?", Klaus asked trying to play dumb,
"Oh come on Klaus, the jet lag?", I scoffed,
"Full body itch", Five added
"Headache that feels like someone stuffed a box of cotton up in through your nose and in your brain", I stated
"You gonna tell us about it?", he asked acting like a brother in a long time,
"Your pals when they broke into the house they couldn't find you, they took me, hostage, instead," Klaus said looking at five,
"and in return, you stole their briefcase", five scoffed
"yeah", Klaus exhaled, "I thought there was money in it or I could pawn it, you know, whatever, and, then I opened it," Klaus gave an explanation to five like he was a son who messed up and five was the angry dad
"and next thing you knew you were or should I say when?" five asked walking side to side,
"What difference does it make?" Klaus sighed, he looked sad,
"Okay, how long were you gone?", five asked
"Almost a year?", Klaus replied
"A year?", I exclaimed
"Do you know what that means?", Five asked stepping closer to Klaus,
Yeah, I'm ten months older now"
"No this isn't any sort of a joke Klaus"
"Hazel and Cha Cha will do whatever they can to get the briefcase. where is it now?
"Gone, I destroyed it, Poof", he did a hand bomb,
"what the hell were you thinking?"
"what do you care?"
"what do I care? I needed it you moron so I could get back, I could start over", Five stated as Klaus got up and proceeded outside,
"just- just"
"where are you going?"
"interrogation is over just leave", and with that Klaus left, I gave five a look and then followed Klaus,
"Klaus", I shouted slightly jogging,
"what?", he kept walking but we slowed down when I saw pogo with mom he was trying to fix her, Klaus turned and headed down but I was frozen,
"is she gonna be fine?", I asked as I stepped ahead near pogo, mom's face looked blank I have never seen her like that,
"yes miss y/n she will be fine", Pogo replied, I kneeled down next to mom and put my hand over her's, "I think you should go talk to Mr. Klaus"
"Huh Oh yes, of course", I said as I got up, "thank you pogo", and with that, I ran downstairs looking for Klaus, I was almost at the bottom of the stairs when I witnessed Deigo come in,
"I'm not giving you a ride"
"Oh come on man, you know I can't drive"
"I don't ca-"
"Okey great I'll just get my things in just two minutes"
"Can I come too?"
"No"
"Please, I never get to spend time with you"
"fine"
"yay", I squeed and we headed out, Klaus joined us in a minute, Diego was driving and Klaus was at the co-driver drinking straight through the bottle of Vodka he had in his hand while I was in the backseat just looking outside didn't wanna ruin whatever Klaus was going through,
"Wow, this is a first, my brother Klaus AND my sister both are silent? Klaus last time you were this quiet we were 12,"
"Ran down the stairs with graces heels tripped over and broke your jaw," I completed his sentence and let out a smile,
"How long was it wired shut again?", Deigo asked,
"Eight weeks", replied an exhausted Klaus,
"Eight weeks of bliss", Deigo sighed
"Hey, just drop me off here", Klaus said not caring much about Deigo's words,
"I'll go with him", Klaus didn't hear that and that was perfect, so we got off,
"You sure you okay man?", Deigo asked as Klaus shut the door on his face gaze stuck on the building in front of us,
"What did I get myself into?" I sighed, as I walked into the building with him the door had the statement written, 'Veterans of Foreign war',
'So he was in a war?', I thought to myself, Inside there were only old people and Klaus went and placed his coat on the bar counter, as cracked his neck, I took a seat at the bar table, He then picked up a shot glass and filled it up with a shot machine and he took the shot with pleasure, he then walked around looking at pictures when he stopped in front of one, out of temptation I took a shot as well and followed him,
"Klaus that's you?", I asked examining the picture, he was crying now, as his hands were around a guy next to him, he then removed something from his pocket and kissed it I just put my hand on his shoulder, he acknowledged it, till suddenly I felt a hand on mine, we both turned around,
"Just go away pleased", Klaus sighed and turned his face back, I was soo happy seeing our family come back
"Not until you talk to me", Deigo answered his hand still on mine which reminded me of a memory we shared long back, I gave him a smile which he returned and then removed is hand, and so did I
"Is that a threat? are you threatening me?", Klaus said as Deigo went and leaned on the pool table,
"Hey, guys, this bar is for vets only", an old man said,
"I am a vet", Klaus replied still not turning back, Deigo looked at him shocked but I had gotten the gist by now,
"Really? where'd you serve?", The old man chuckled, everyone in the bar was staring at us now,
"None of your business"
"uh oh", I mumbled
"You got balls coming here pretending your one of us", The man continued
"Oh I have every right to be here just like you, ASSHOLE", the man was angry now I don't blame him he proceeded towards Klaus in anger as Deigo tried to stop him,
"Woah Woah Woah Woah, hey slow down Marine, my brother's had just too many, let's call it a day, all go our own way", Deigo tried to calm the guy down,
"Sure thing"
"thank you", he sighed
"Klaus lets-", I said turning towards Klaus, I was surprised they didn't mention me specifically,
"As long as you apologize", the man stated,
"Fine, I'm sorry, He's sorry we're all sorry, so ... are we good?", Deigo said trying his best to be calm
"I wanna hear him say it", the man said pointing to Klaus,
"why?", I asked sharply, his gaze turned towards me with rage, but before he could say anything Klaus jumped in,
"No, No He's right, he's right, I would like to apologize that you are depriving some village of their idiot", Klaus said stepping in closer and crossing the line when the vet threw a punch which Klaus dodged and banged his head against his, Deigo jumped in next then me, we all beat them up for a few minutes, and as soon as we saw our window we ran out and jumped in Deigo's car and drove away as fast as possible laughing all the way.
FUN FACT: Klaus and Y/n used to raid dad's office and sell stuff so she could buy snacks and Klaus his drugs.
