chapter fifteen

Prime walked into almost every room and couldn't find Klaus but when she opened the next door she froze," Uh, what in the world?" She asked as she saw Diego tying up Klaus.

"Oh!Oof! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah" Klaus said as Diego tightened the rope around him.

"If I see a boner, I'm out," Diego said and Prime gagged and made disgusted noise at those words making them both turn to her.

"There are a lot of things I wish not to see, and this is one of them," Prime stepped back raising her hands about to walk out.

Ben glanced at Prime who entered the room at the wrong time and he covered his mouth laughing as Klaus chuckled," It's not what it looks like, really, its— Diego said

Prime sighed turning around," What's going on? Please, pleaseeee, explain my dear brothers"

"He wants to get sober," Diego said as he walked around Klaus bringing the rope around, "Don't get me wrong, man. Good by you. But I'd think you'd wanna pop every pill on the planet," said Diego

"Oh, the thought did cross my mind, believe me, but there's something I need to do, and the whole pesky thing doesn't seem to work unless I'm sober," Klaus said as he groaned

"Is this about conjuring the one you lost? What was her name?"

"What was his name, Klaus?" Prime corrected Diego

"Thanks—Primey, anyways, his name was Dave. We soldiered together in the A Shau Valley in the Mountain of the Crouching Beast"

Prime smiled," Well, Dave must have been a very special person" Ben smiled at her always being sweet to Klaus but then Diego sighed.

"Special to put up with your weird-ass shit"

She glared at Diego," Uncalled for Diego" and he shrugged

Klaus snorted," Yeah, yeah, he was kind and strong, and vulnerable, and beautiful, beautiful and I was foolish enough to follow him all the way to the front line"

"You fought in it?" Prime said as her face fell and he nodded," Oh yeah"

"How'd they let you do that?" Diego inquired as he was still tying Klaus's feet.

"War couldn't take enough bodies. Please. Including his" Klaus said hurt as Prime and Diego listened

"Hey, look at us. Loggin' in some quality bro and sis time before the end of the world"

"Yeah, might as well" Diego added he was done and Pat Klaus was about to leave when Klaus whined," Ah shitt!!"

Prime walked over worried," What's wrong?"

"What?" Diego said turning around

"I need to pee!!" Both of them groaned

"Really Klaus? Did you need to wait until after he tied you?" Ben commented as he laughed.

The two went off as Prime sat on the chair on the other side of the room.

"I have to tell them, the truth about Dad's death" She mumbled as Ben looked at her confused," But...with the world about to end, is it too late?"

"Who am I kidding?! I can't my power won't let me" she mumbled.

"Powerless Brainwashing," she retorted," Which is why, I was "no number" I was not allowed to feel like the others with a number so that I could feel vulnerable, so Dad could control me."

"Fuck," She said putting a hand on her stomach as she rubbed it gently," Yeah, that's still a bitch, stupid guns, like I said before. Diego is right about them, they are the worst!" She grumbled as Ben was still conflicted about her talking about their father's death and her hidden power.

Powerless Brainwashing?

The door creaked and came back in was Diego and Klaus," Did you have to follow him, Diego?"

Prime asked and he gave her a look," Yeah if I didn't, he might have run off"

She looked at Klaus and sighed," Okay, I can give you that one" Klaus looked at her," Hey, aren't you always on my side?"

"Yeah, always, but this one teeny tiny bit I'm not. This is a serious thing you want to do, and even I know it's going to be hard for you" She stated

He sat down and sighed as Diego bent down about to tie his feet," Get you goin' A quick—

"You know, no, I—I think I think this was— a bad idea, no I think it was— Klaus said getting up

"Woah Woah," Prime and Diego said standing up and raising their hands

"I just I should have had just one last hit to ease me into it, that's all I need"

"Mh Mm-hmm. No, no, no." Prime walked over holding Klaus back and Diego helping

"I'll be right back" He cried

"I don't think so," Diego said pushing him to the chair

"Diego, Primey, Listen Just Listen" He argued as he pushed his arm away

"I'm sorry Klaus," Prime said as she raised her hands using her powers to push him back to the chair as Diego ran over tying the rope.

"Primey! Damn it! Diego! Stop it! Stop it!!" He screamed as Prime held her hands holding him in place as Diego tied him.

"I'll conjure Ben!—Primye! I'll conjure him!! Please let me go!!"

Ben stood up and walked over," Stop that Klaus" he scolded Klaus at the thought of being used to make Prime falter

"No Klaus! This is for your own good! Don't you want to see Dave?!" She said as she almost gave in.

"Ben is right here! I can make him— Don't you want to see him!!" He screamed

"I do! But NO! KLAUS!! You are hurting more than me! I can't! I won't! Please listen and stop fighting!" He was now restrained from the ropes as she lowered her hands and tears fell down her face.

"You didn't have to make her cry, Klaus," Ben said as Klaus ignored him groaning and thrashing around

"This is for your own good Klaus, please forgive me," She said as she turned and walked away

Diego brought a bucket over and knelt," This is for next time. Puke, pee, whatever you need. Multipurpose. See?" He said putting it down and turning away leaving.

"Diego! Diego, please come back! You prick!" His chair tilted and he falls to the floor still tied up

...



Prime walked out of the room, knowing Klaus was fine but still crying as she almost gave in letting him go. She needed to be strong for him, he needed it.

She walked over to Reginald's study seeing it was an entire mess. She stepped in and saw the floorboard open and closed her eyes.

"I'm sorry Ms Prime, he—I had to tell him, he seemed distressed," Pogo said

"I assume he didn't take it well?" She whispered

"No," Pogo said

Prime felt her tears fall down her face, "I hate this, knowing everything" She seethed as she walked out of the room past Pogo.

He grabbed my wrist halting her," You mus—"

"I got it Pogo, as No number, I mustn't tell them anything, isn't that right?" She spat as she pulled her wrist out of his hand

"Ms Prime, it's not like that," He said and she turned to him yelling

"It's exactly that!! The reason I'm 'NO NUMBER' is that I have the power to be compelled by anyone; when the words "You mustn't " is said, the order stays! I have so much I want to tell my siblings! But I can't because of this godforsaken power!"

"He didn't want me to feel like the others, face it Pogo, that's the reason and you know it"

He looked down and sighed and peered back at her as he said the words," You mustn't— I cut him off fighting it.

"Yeah, that's it, that's what all you seem to say to me, You're just as guilty compelling me to not say anything, by the way. I got the notification on my phone that Mom is back online, did you also tell her not to say anything as well? Did you threaten her not to speak?"

"You're just like Dad, even if he mistreated you just like all of us," She spat as she raised her hands conjuring my fire," But if you are hurt enough—maybe I can tell them"

Pogo gasped as he walked back She raised her hands to send flames to him—

...

WEDNESDAY 8:15 A.M (...again)

"Hold the phone. We all died fighting this thing the first time around. Remember?" said Klaus

Diego who was tossing his knife in his hand spoke," Klaus, shockingly, has a point. What gives us a win this time?"

The lights started to flicker when suddenly Five fell out of one of his spatial portals landing harshly on the bar table landing on a Briefcase

Allision shouted," Je—Jesus!!" as she walked back and Prime almost fell off the couch where she was sitting.

Klaus groaned from the couch he retreated on," You guys, am I still high, or do you see him, too?"

Luther shook his head and spoke," Five, where have you been?"

"Are you all right?" Prime asked as she walked to him slowly

"Who did this?" Luther questioned

Five grabbed Allison's coffee and pushed past us," Irrelevant"

They all turned to him as he slurped down her coffee he sighed turning around," So the apocalypse is in three days the only chance we have to save our world is, well—us"

"The Umbrella Academy" Luther muttered

"Yeah, but with me, obviously," He said," So if Y'all don't get your sideshow acts together and get over yourselves, we're screwed, who cares if Dad messed us up? Are we gonna let that define us? No. And to give us a fighting chance to see next week, I've come back with a lead. I know who's responsible for the apocalypse" He pulled out a paper from his pocket and handed it to Prime as she opened it.

"This is who we have to stop," He said as they gathered around Prime

"Harold Jenkins?" Prime said confused

"Who the hell is Harold Jenkins?" Diego asked looking at Five
