chapter thirteen
Five who was found in the library drunk and clinging to Delores was found by his brothers Diego and Luther. The two brought him back to Diego's place, which was where he was working at—a boxing club.
He had told his brother Luther about almost everything when he had travelled back, to him meeting his boss, the handler.
Luther leaned forward overwhelmed with the news and spoke," When's it supposed to happen? This... Apocalypse."
"I can't give you the exact hour, but from what I could gather, we have four days left," Five said distressed
"Why didn't you say something sooner?" Luther asked Five
Five sighed," It wouldn't have mattered"
Luther looked at him and scoffed," Of course it would, we could've banded together and helped you try to stop this thing!"
Five looked at his brother blankly as he spoke," For the record—you already tried"
"What do you mean?" Luther asked bewildered
"I found all of you, your bodies," Five said hurt but sounded also grim, remembering his sibling's bodies.
Luther looked at him paling," We die?"
Five looked at him and nodded," Horribly"
He looked down and finished," You were together, trying to stop whoever it was that ends the world"
"Wait, how do you know that?" He questioned Five
Five reached in his pocket unwrapping the eye he had raised his hand and throwing it to Luther," This was clutched in your dead hand when I found you. Must've ripped it out of their head right before you went down"
"Whose head?" He interrogated
Five exhaled," As I said, I don't know"
Luther turned the eye," Well, there's a serial number on the back. Think maybe you could try"
"No, that's a dead end" Five chuckled," It's just another hunk of glass"
The door slammed open and their brother Diego came in covered in blood," Piece of shit!! Do you have any idea what you just did?!" Luther grabbed the brother to stop him from attacking Five
"Nope, let me—get your ape hands off of me!" Diego struggled in Luther's arms
"I can do this as long as it takes you to calm down," Luther said without effort.
Diego, he huffed and panted," Fine!". Luther dropped his brother as Diego glared at Five," WHO ARE THOSE PEOPLE WHO ATTACKED THE ACADEMY?!"
"It's none of which is any of your concern" Five argued
"It is! THEY JUST SHOT PRIME! SHE IS IN THE HOSPITAL IN CRITICAL CONDITION!"
"What?!" Both Five and Luther shouted
"Yeah—she was with my friend, the two of them raided a Motel, where Klaus was, who was kidnapped to lure you" Diego continued seething as he referred to Five
"What hospital?" Luther questioned and Diego told him. Five grit his teeth as he, spatial jumped leaving his brothers.
"That little shit!" Diego shouted
Luther pat his shoulder," Not right now, we need to go to Prime, let's contact the family"
Diego sighed and nodded.
...
"P—Pri—"
Prine moved her head in pain as she started to hear someone call for her," Prim—" She opened her eyes and let out a raspy gasp seeing who was looking at her," B-ben?" She said quietly
"Prime," He said as he looked down at her.
"I can see you—does that mean I'm dead?" She asked with a smile, which only made Ben frown at how calm
she was saying those words.
"You're such an idiot, and no you're not dead—you almost died" Prime's throat tightened hearing his voice crack making her eyes sting. She was so close. She was so close to being with him.
"Then why can I see you?" She painfully asked.
"I don't know, but— Why the hell did you come to the motel?! You could have died!" He yelled
"I needed to save Klaus, Ben" Prime added
"You fool, the entire time— I was shouting— Why did you do something so stupid," Ben said as he reached for her cheek and she felt it and her tears fell down her face. It was a touch that felt unreal. It was not warm and it felt like a phantom. She abhorred not feeling his warmth.
"I-I want to continue to love you—Ben, please" Prime expressed with incredible pain in her heart and soul. Her tears fell, and snot — she was a mess. She didn't care. She just never wanted to hear those words again. She was never going to move on. She was never to love anyone that wasn't Ben Hargreeves.
"You are still alive Prime, do—
"Ben—I love you, and only you" She cut him off as he sighed caressing her cheek. Ben knew he could never win this argument. She was the reason he even stayed after death. She was the only reason he was here.
"I love you too Prime, but I'm dead, I'm telling you—what's the use of loving a dead man" Ben forced a smile.
Prime's eyes hurt, from not blinking. She refused to because she wanted to continue looking at him and not miss a second. She could see him now, but what if she blinked and he was gone—," I don't care, I couldn't care less you fool" Prime's eyes stung. It hurt so bad from the air getting into her eyes.
"I'm sorry for leaving you, for dying" Ben's voice trailed off.
Prime lifted her hand shaking as she touched his hand on her cheek," Quit that, it's not your fault, if we didn't fail, we wouldn't have lost you" There was no warmth.
He looked at her and shook his head, "I want you to all stop blaming yourselves—we all made a mistake, and no one is to blame"
Prime turned her head, before letting out a breath," Where's Klaus?" she asked and Ben shook his head
"I don't know—he ran off, but he didn't get captured, last I was with him he got on a bus, and he was able to escape those two."
Prime sighed," Thank goodness" She looked at him as he started to turn transparent," No! No, don't disappear!" She leaned forward trying to grab him but her hand went through. She let out a painful cry.
Ben looked at her, "I'll be here—even if you can't see me"
"No" Prime shook her head as she felt the tears fall down her face again," Please don't go"
"I love you Prime," He said as Prime saw him slowly vanish.
"Ben" Prime cried out as she couldn't see him anymore. She wiped her face as she pressed the button on the side of her bed lifting it a little to sit up.
She wasn't in much pain since the doctors put her under painkillers. But she felt a different kind of pain. It was raw and one she had grown used to. The loneliness, the heartbreak and the feeling of loss of Ben. Seeing him for that short moment only gnawed at her heart that wasn't going to heal. The wound remained open for vulnerability. She didn't want it to ever heal, because it would mean she was willing to move on from Ben. So she picked on it like a scab. She constantly dug into memories to make that wound remain raw.
"Prime!" Prime cried out as Five appeared out of nowhere
"Dammit Five!" Prime shouted as he saw her
"Thank goodness you're fine"
Prime started to pant as she held her chest," Not if I get a heart attack Five, what the fuck," She said as she caught her breath leaning back.
"I'm sorry Prime," Five said as he looked at her frowning
Prime waved her hand," Oh forget it, I'm alive, and I got to save Klaus, so are you going to tell the ot—
"Prime!" Running in were Allison, Diego and Luther
"Oh, hey there" Prime waved, Allison ran over hugging her as she patted her back
"Diego said you were in critical condition"
"Oh, was I?" Prime said as Allison pulled back," I didn't feel like it" She added sarcastically
"Prime what were you doing?" Luther asked as he came over
"Like I told you and Allison. I was saving Klaus, who was in fact held captive. I knew he didn't just leave the house, he always told me when he did since Dad's death," Prime said narrowing her eyes at them," I fucken told you two, I know Klaus. If anything happened to him, I would have personally gone after you two for how ignorant you both were."
"Where is he?" Diego stepped forward and sat on her bedside, shielding Allison and Luther from view when he saw them flinching at her words. He believed her words—if something did happen to Klaus— Prime wouldn't hold back.
"Ben said he escaped," Prime said and cursed at herself saying that.
"Ben?" Allison asked confused
Prime sighed," You probably don't believe me, but before Five appeared I saw him, I guess almost dying does that?" She mumbled her last words as they all shared looks. "You think, I'm crazy"
Luther sighed," If I didn't hear about Five's story, then I would think you were but, considering it, no I don't"
"Nothing about us is normal Prime" Diego added
Prime chuckled in the realization," Ohhh, That's right I forgot"
"By the way, Five, Klaus escaped with a Briefcase, the two; Hazel and Cha-cha, they seemed to panic about it, what's that about?"
"Hazel and Cha-cha?" Allison asked
Prime nodded," Yeah that's the name of our masked burglars" She looked at Five," Tell them, everything Five, it's about time you did, and explain the Briefcase you left that part out" He sighed
Diego looked at her," You know what he's been doing?"
"Yeah," They looked at her, "What?"
"Why didn't you tell us?" Luther asked
"Because all of you were focused on Mom and patronizing Vanya, that you didn't even seem like people who would take what Five was saying and doing, seriously" Prime rolled her eyes.
"Exactly" Five alleged nodding," But considering the circumstances, it's time I tell you all" Five explained everything to them and it took a good hour and a half. They all interjected with questions and he was patient enough to answer them.
"Diego," Prime said after Five left explaining everything," I need you to look out for Klaus, please, I can't, not when I'm in here" She requested as Duego looked at her
"Why?"
Prime furrowed her brows," Didn't you listen to a word Five said? Klaus is probably still being pursued by those two, and he can't protect himself. He's not a fighter like us"
He scratched his head and nodded," Fine" He walked over to speak with Luther.
Prime glanced at Allision who looked bothered by something," What's wrong Allison?"
Allison looked at the boys who were talking to each other at the end of Prime's room and she sat closer," There is this guy—Vanya is seeing"
Prime blinked at the sudden news," What? Really?"
"Yeah, but—"
Prime frowned," Oh, no what's wrong with the guy? Is he some stalker or murderer?"
She gave me a look," No or I don't know—but something about him is off"
Prime raised an eyebrow," Really?" Allison explained to her what she noticed and Prime looked at her gravely, "How good are you at doing some serious research?"
"Why?"
Prime peered over Allison's shoulder making sure the guys didn't hear her," Something is definitely off with him, you need to try and find anything on him, heck, break the law and even break into his house if you can find it, do whatever is necessary" She nodded
"I got to go" She announced as the boys turned to her
"Where?" Luther asked
"Just, going to get Prime some clothes and whatnot, lady stuff," She said as they made a face saying goodbye.

AN: Short Episode Part, since not much would matter if I did the entire episode, since Prime is in the hospital, and if I did everything else it would just be the entire script of the episode not changed, and I rather you watch the episode for that if that was the case.
