It's been a year since we last saw him, Five. And We were losing hope. I visited the Hargreeves so often that the academy became like a second home. Vanya made sandwiches at night just in case if he came back and wanted to eat something, and I helped her. Klaus, Ben and I became even closer with the loss of their brother. Luther and I came to a mutual understanding. We did girls' nights with Allison to scrap away a little bit of that sadness that ate us from the inside. Diego and I trained together as the others watched and helped. Grace still cooked us delicious meals. Sir Hargreeves was still an asshole and Pogo...well he was still Pogo. Sometimes the Hargreeves siblings and I went on the rooftop just like when Five was still here and we just stare at the stars while or Vanya or me is playing some music. I paused time on myself so I could search for Five for way longer, so I could not worry about my age as I try to understand these codes, and so that I can remember how we were, how things were.

It has now been five years since he left. Five painful years where life suddently seemed more dull and kept on getting duller. I controlled my powers way better now, almost perfectly and I still continued to get better, they knew it and it made them happy. And I was enjoying the fact that they still had happy moments. Vanya still made sandwiches at night. I still came often at the academy and Grace is still the best cook ever. Clyde is now fifteen and is growing up to become a handsome and talented fella. He is good at school and is now the elected house chef, as he wanted both dad and I to rest a little. Ben....died. Horribly. His suffering made us suffer and his death did even more. We all went to his funeral, the Hargreeves and the Jacksons reunited in front of a statue of Ben, the bottom of which said 'May the darkness within you find peace in the light'. I didn't see Klaus much anymore as he slowly descended in the deep abyss that are the drugs. Allison started acting. Diego and I still trained together. Luther was still a daddy's boy. A strange woman with white hair called the Handler came and asked me to join her to protect the continuity of time as I had powers and they could be an asset. So I joined and told Clyde and Dad that I got a job in which I needed to constantly move, a job adapted to somebody like me. I told the Hargreeves the same thing and they understood. I didn't want to leave like a theif leaving a bitter trace behind so we all spent one last night together.

-----
It has now been twelve years since Five disappeared and even more since I integrated my job, something about time and space distorting and to be honest it would be too long to explain, I kept his notes and also made mine. My time at the Commission has been pretty interesting to say the least. I started by analysing folders and writing on a paper who the assassins needed to kill. When the Handler saw that I prefered being in movement she made me an agent on the field. Once I got to kill a librarian who held a book called 'Extra Ordinary' which was written by Vanya. I miss the Hargreeves but I had to do it. In here I could find informations about Five. There's actually a man that came back from the future, from the apocalypse he said. The Handler always told me we were doing all of this for the greater good, and as long as I didn't need to hurt anyone I love it was alright with me. But with the arrival of that man, I started to doubt her. The equations that filled my book still waiting to be solved, still waiting to bring back Five. So I started to talk to the man, he seemed shocked to see me but started to warm up to me.

-----
Fifteen years since I last saw Five. I was now in duo with the old man. He never told me his name, just said that he didn't have one. He told me that he planned on going back to the present because something bad was coming. That the apocalypse was right behind their door ready to knock and that he had no idea who provoked it and how. And he wants to stop it by getting back to the present and tell some people that can save the world.
"So. You're telling me that the Handler wants the apocalypse to happen so she makes us kill everyone that has something to do with the preservation of a good future?"
"Better yet. She makes us kill innocent people but I think she wants to protect the ones that will cause it-"
"-To ensure that the apocalypse happens. She wants it to happen but she isn't the one that causes it...That's fucked up, really fucked up."
"Yes it is. So basically I am trying to get time by being here, time to get back into the present."
"Mh. It has been a long time since I have been there. I had friends there, and my dad and my brother Clyde. He must have grown into a fine man now..."
"How old are you exactly?"
"Well physically I am fourteen. Mentally and in reality I must be in my thirties."
"That's quite impressive. How did you stay this young for this long?"
"As you know I have telepathy, telekinesis and-"
"-And you can pause time. So you paused time on yourself? That's smart. But why. Are you scared of aging?"
"No. Not really. I just thought that way I could buy myself time to find someone I lost. A boy named Five. He helped me become the one I am today. He freed me from my fears, the ones I had about my powers. I need to find him, he is way too important for me to abandon. So I entered the Commission to search through the ages. He time travelled and stayed stuck, so I need to find him."
He patted my back and slightly smiled.
"I am sure he would be more than happy to know that his friend is looking out for him."
"I hope so too. Once I get him back he'll get his ass kicked for sure for making us so scared."
"For tonight...Chinese?"
"Fuck yeah, I crave sweet buns right now."

-----
It has now been seventeen years since Five disappeared in the present. The old man and I were on a mission were he had an idea and he looked at my equations and then at his.
"That's it!"
"What is what?"
"I found the answer!"
I look at him, a smirk growing on my face and I nod my head as a signal for him to execute his idea, we didn't have time to talk and share tea if we wanted to go. He concentrated and created a vortex. We both forced through it and I hit myself on wet, cold ground. That's when I heard a voice I never thought I would hear again.
"Shit."
I looked around and saw a familiar boy run off and older looking people. I payed a little more attention and saw we were in the Hargreeves' yard.

"What type of bullshit is this?"
"____?"
Whispered Allison.
"Klaus? Diego? Allison? Vanya? Luther."
"Hi love."
Smiled Klaus.
"Oh my fuck."
I jumped in their arms. Happy tears getting washed by the rain.
"Let's get you all dried up, you're gonna get sick."
"Mom bring us towels!"
"Wait Diego. Have you seen an old man?"
"No. Just you and Five.."
That was when I realized that the man I have been working with all of those years, was the boy that I searched for. I ran in the same direction in went in to the kitchen.
"Five you fucking asshole!"
"Hello to you too ___. Great to see you as fiery as before."
"Was it fun? To play the guy that didn't know shit? Huh!? Was it fun?"
"Well if you were less stupid-"
"-If you were less egotistic everything would've been better. If you told me I could have stopped feeling fucking empty for the twenty fucking years we worked together!"
"What did you want me to say?! 'Oh I missed you I am now and old man and you ruined your life to find me hooray! Because of me you left your friends and family behind and I am so damn happy about it'!"
"I didn't fucking ruin my life for you. I ruined my life for all of us that love you Five. For your siblings, for my brother and for me. I needed to find you, and I was able to so I took the opportunity. And if someone asked me if I wanted to change what I did, I would tell them that if given the opportunity I'd still do the same. Get that in your head Hargreeves."
I turned around to leave as I saw grace with towels I smiled at her and hugged her. I dried myself near the fireplace as I look around that home I missed and Klaus ast next to me.

"Klaus. Why are all of you here?"
"Well. The old man died!"
I grinned.
"Phew finally, am I right?"
"Yeah, except from Luther."
"Still a daddy's boy I see."
"Even more than before if that's even possible."
"Well fuck."
"Yup."
I turned to him and hugged him tight.
"I fucking missed you, you cheeky bastard."
"Same for me darling."
"You smell like pot."
"I know darling."
"...I won't do shit because I am happy to be back but Ben would agree with me that I need to slap your pretty face multiple times for taking drugs."
"You are so right. Speaking of Ben. Enter my mind love I have a surprise."
"It better not be a prank, last time you told me this when not having a crisis I was the one having a crisis because of what I found in that head of yours."
"Nah, really do it."

I focus on his mind and look around me to see a shadowy figure in the corner of the room. It walks towards Klaus and I and gets it's hood off. It was Ben.

"Holy fucking shit..."
"Still cussing like a sailor, huh?"
"Oh my fuck. I am tripping. Am I?"
"Nah. Klaus can see me. I always tell him what to to, but you know Klaus."
"He doesn't listen."
I smile at Ben as a tear makes it's way on my cheek.
"Slap him for me, you can."
"Sure thing Ben, sure thing. Love you."
"Love you too ___."
Ben softly smiles as I come back to myself and look at a smirking Klaus.

"Holy spaghetti."
"See?"
"I love you you fucking retard. By the way."
I slap him.
"That's from Ben. He told me to and I had a big urge to do it."
"Ahh still spontaneous I see."
"Yup. I'll use the phone for a minute."

I went to the other side of the room where a phone was placed on a table. I took a big breath and dialed dad.
"Hello Grace, is everything alright?"
"...It's me dad. It's___."
"Look it better not be Klaus doing a joke-"
"-For fucks sake dad it's me! I am back for good!"
"Oh my god...my baby. How are you? How was your job? What happened?"
"I am a little tired but overall I feel happy to be back. My job was fine, but I quitted."
"Why?"
"It was a tiring work dad, I guess I wanted calm."
"Are you still in your fourteen year old body? Have you found Five?"
"Yes I am, and yes I did. Now dad if it's to interrogate me-"
"I am just worried."
"I know I was teasing you. Is Clyde here?"
"Yes, let me get him. Clyde come here someone wants to speak to you!"
And after a small a younger man talked on the phone.
"Clyde Jackson talking. Did you need anything?"
"Hey Clyde..."
"___? Is that really you?"
"Fourteen years old me that is but yes, it is."
"Oh lord. I missed you so much!"
"Me too baby, me too. How have you been? Did you get into the university you wanted to be in?"
"I am doing great! And yeah. I graduated and now I am a science teacher in a prestigious school."
"Damn my little brother be rocking the adult life!"
"And you?"
"I ran away. I told dad I left because I was tired and needed calm. But you know about what was the job in question so there is no use in lying."
"Aren't they going to chase you now?"
"Well as one of their ex-best agents I think that whatever they throw at me I will go through like a knife through butter."
I hear the chatter from the kitchen getting heated and turn my head to see Five looking at me as if to tell me to come.
"Just know that for now I am fine. Stay safe. Protect dad. I love you little brother."
"I love you too. Stay as safe as possible."
"Can't say I will."
He chuckled and hung up. I wiped the stay tears that had fallen when I was on the phone, composed myself and went to the kitchen.

"Nice to see you finally decided to come and join us-"
"Shut up Luther. What date is it Five?"
"March 25th."
"So the apocalypse is in eight days. How in the love of fuck are we going to save the world in a week?"
"I don't know either. And I don't know if my mess of a family will be of much help."

"Hey that's mean-"

Interrupted Klaus.

"Better that than nothing I guess."

"Let's fucking save the world. No hard feelings?"
He hands me a peanut butter and marshmallow sandwhich.

"Let's do this shit. And I don't know, you lied straight to my face so we'll see.""Good enough. By the way. Did we miss dad's funeral?"

Asked Five.

"How do you know about that?

Pressed Luther and so I fired back.

"What in future do ou not understand?"

"Heart attack?"

"Yes-"

"No."

Luther cut Diego as the other glared daggers at him from behind the taller one.

"Glad to see nothing's changed."

"That's all you gotta say?"

"What else do you want us to say Allison?"

I say as I take a bite of Five's invention and head towards the old training room.
