chapter six

Prime had come back home after getting some groceries since Grace asked her to get some. Once she reached the kitchen, she began to put them away.

After she finished, she walked upstairs to the surveillance room wanting to see some of the old videos of them as kids—Mainly Ben, because it was the closest she got to see him.

"Your father stopped recording years ago" Prime heard Pogo as she walked slowly peering in and seeing Allison," But I still come here from time to time, when I'm missing you kids" Prime smiled at that, knowing he and her often came in together laughing at some things they found.

"Pogo this is" Allison sighed," Most families have home movies to look back on. We have surveillance footage"

Prime walked in unnoticed as she looked at one screen with Ben and her laughing together as they read a book," I hoped it might cheer you up" Pogo said unsure of what Allison said

"It does" She looked at the screen and Pogo noticed her and Prime lifted a finger to my mouth.

"Oh, my God, look how little we were," Allison said

"It's Ben, with Prime, oh. I miss him so much; I can't imagine how much she does as well" Allison said

"I miss him every single day," Prime said and Allison gasped turning to see her.

"Prime," She said and Prime only remembered their little disagreement earlier.

"Don't give me that look Allison, it was just a simple argument, we've had worse"

She looked down and shook her head," I'm sorry, and especially, with Vanya—I said unkind things to her"

Prime shrugged her shoulder and sighed," Look at this" She said pointing at a lone screen with just Vanya playing her violin alone.

"Vanya, why didn't we include her?" She asked hurt

"Exactly what I said—Vanya may be so cut off to you, but she was always there for us, even when she was not allowed on missions when one of us got hurt, she was beside Mom, helping her—she continued to care for us, even if she was pretty much an outcast, that's why when she made that book. I was proud of her. Still proud of her, even if our family secrets are out there, it's not like there was anything she revealed that had us in trouble." I added

Pogo excused himself as he walked away and Prime sat with Allison watching the clips, "You know, before Ben died, he and I wanted to run away with each other?" Prime confessed to Allison making her look at her shocked.

"No, you're kidding"

Prime shook her head," Nope" She stood up walking to the cabinet grabbing a tape and putting it in.

FLASHBACK ON TAPE

Prime was sitting with Ben in her room as they read a book together, "Benny why don't we ditch this place"

Ben looked up from the book," What?"

"I mean, you and I just leave? You know, stop being these crime heroes for Dad, and just go away? The others can survive without The Horror and The Mind"

"Prime, I get I complain about not wanting to do missions, but-

"Benny, it's not that, we are getting older, and I want to have a life outside of this place," Prime said getting up from the bed and grabbing his hand," I want to move away from this town, and just forget it all"

He got up and leaned his forehead on hers, "I want more than anything to run away, the both of us" Prime nodded as he leaned forward connecting their lips.

The alarms went off and they both separated," After this mission, we'll run away" He said as they both smiled at each other.

FLASHBACK OVER

The tape ended and Prime pulled it out. Allison saw the date and gasped. Prime felt her eyes water as her sister recognised what day that was.

"That was the mission—"

"That Ben died, yeah" Prime nodded as she wiped away her tears

Allison wrapped her arms around Prime's shoulder," I'm sorry, for failing, all of us, if we didn't—he'd be alive right now" She let out a sob as she leaned on her sister's shoulder.

"Dad, he kept all the tapes of Ben and me, and he put them in a separate cabinet. He may have been the worst father ever, but he cared for us, and when I stayed behind, when you all left, including Luther, he asked me why I stayed, and I told him the truth. I was not leaving, I couldn't especially since Ben was gone, I didn't want a life without him. So, I stayed, using the excuse that Luther told me to stay, I used it as leverage to give me a reason to stay here" Prime revealed to Allison as she listened.

Eventually, Prime left wanting to have a drink wanting to make the aching go away. She walked into the living room to the bar pouring herself a glass—but then she frowned and pushed the glass away drinking directly the bottle.

Some time passed and halfway through the bottle, Prime felt the buzz and she walked over to the couch and lay down.

"Primey? Are you okay?"

The drunk female looked up at Klaus as he walked in. She took a swig from the whiskey bottle," Welcome back Klaus, how was your day dearest brother" She sang

"Is she drunk? Tell me she isn't drunk" Ben asked looking at Prime as she giggled.

"She is" Klaus whispered and she looked up

"Klaus, I'm taking a gamble, is Benny here?"

Ben looked at him as Klaus turned to her," Yes he is, want to talk to-erh want me to relay what he says?"

"Yes, please, I have been wanting to know since you came back~," She said slurring.

Klaus sat on the coffee table as," Well, Primey, you are lucky I am not high as a horse right now"

Ben scoffed," Tell her I miss her so much, and I love her"

He turned to his brother making a face," Man, this is not what I signed up for"

"Did he say something? Klaus?" She asked taking another swig of the whiskey

"Tell her don't drink too much—or better yet take it away, please"

Klaus sighed and grabbed the bottle out of her hand," Orders from Ben" She pouted as Ben smiled at her making a cute face

"He said he misses you and loves you Prime"

Ben knelt next to her on the couch," I miss your beautiful green eyes"

"He misses your beautiful green eyes" Klaus repeated as she chuckled

"Benny, I miss you so much, I miss your warm touch, I miss everything" She started to tear up and Ben felt his eyes sting, "I'm so sorry Benny if we all didn't fail, you'd be here right now"

"It's not your fault, it's no one's fault," Klaus repeated his words

"Benny, I love you," She said slowly as she went to sleep.

Klaus then sighed," Must suck, losing the one you love" Ben turned to him. While Klaus raised his hands," I mean it, I may have drugs in my system, but I can see how much you two love each other, everyone did, even dear old Dad"

Ben leaned on the couch Prime was sleeping on and spoke "We were planning to leave, this place after the mission, I died at"

"Really? Well, that, really sucks" He said as Ben sighed at his wording but didn't bother saying anything. This was the closest he could get Klaus to respond without saying something idiotic.

"Yeah, it sucks I had to die, and because of it, I had to watch Prime and all of you suffer"

Klaus shook his head," Bro, death sucks"

"It does, I have experience" Ben teased

He laughed," Sorry, I can't keep myself right in mind all the time, it's hard" Ben looked at him surprised at his serious words

"Will you ever sober up?" He questioned

"Who knows?" Klaus said taking a swig from the whiskey bottle he took from Prime

"Worth a try" Ben mumbled. As Klaus took reached into his pocket pulling out drugs.

"To our crazy ass family," He said raising his bottle and swallowing the drugs in his other hand using the alcohol to drink it down.
