We only see each other at weddings and funerals 2/3
(Look at our new cat Oscar he's from Australia :D )
☂︎★☂︎
Y/n's pov:
Five enters the kitchen and heads straight to the fridge as me and the others follow him still confused about what's happening and how he's back.
"What are you doing?" Luther asked.
"Making a sandwich" five answered, "do you know how long it's been since I've eaten solid food." Five opens the fridge door but Luther slams it which earns him an annoyed look from five.
"You look ridiculous by the way" five teased which made me want to laugh but I decided not to.
"It's been 17 years number five, where have you been?" Luther asked
"It's been a lot longer than that," he answered as he opens the fridge again and grabs what he needs from the fridge before going over to a counter having to stand on a chair to make his sandwich as we all watch him, desperate for answers.
"What happened to you?" Vanya asked.
"What do you think happened? I decided to test the limits of my time jumping, and see how far I could go. Turns out, pretty far."
Klaus elbows Diego and he passes him 5 bucks.
Heh five for five
"Dad always warned me not to go too far into the future. On account of my jumps only working in one direction. This time, he was right." five spoke as he took a bite of his sandwich.
Yep. Still the same old five
Allison sits down examining him, wanting more answers.
"Then how did you get back?"
Thats a good question, he said it's been longer than 17 years, so what in the hell happened?
"By projecting my conscience backward into a suspended quantum state version of myself that exists in every possible instance of time." five answered with food in his mouth.
"That makes no sense." Diego snapped
"It would if you were smarter" five threw back causing Diego to stand up, Luther having to stop him before he did anything, and it caused me to chuckle quietly catching five attention for a second before he continued.
"Granted, it did take me a little more time to work out all the nuts and bolts of it..."
"How much time?" Allison asked.
"Ahh...58 years give or take." five answers
After that I sorta spaced out for most of it, trying to figure out how any of this is even happening, but I soon snapped out once I noticed five walking past me a heading out the kitchen.
"Time for what? We're not done here!" Luther yells but got no reply as five left, going up the stairs as we all stood in silence, our minds still filled in confusion.

Third pov:
Vanya and y/n went looking for five and found him in his old room, with the same old books, and everything.
"He kept all my things." five said breaking the silence of the room.
Vanya and y/n look at each other before walking over to him and hugging him but he flinches angrily.
"What are you doing?" he asked
"It's called a hug" Vanya answered while y/n nodded.
"Hug. Right...I may have reacted..poorly downstairs. Side effect of 58 years without any physical contact" five spoke sadly and
y/n grimaced at his words.
"What do you mean?" Vanya asked but got no response but only a stare, then turns away and changes the subject.
"I read your book, you know. Found it in a public library. That's how I knew about how bad things get" he said looking at y/n which made her look away, she was probably the most affected by his disappearance, they were probably the only ones who acted like siblings.
"How number Six died. How we failed" he spoke angrily.
"This was the wrong time. I came too late. Delores always said my equation was off. Must have forgotten to carry the second two."
"Who's Delores?" Vanya asked but was again ignored, as he stares out the window and it concerned y/n, she was scared for her best friend.
☂︎★☂︎
The family gathered in front of the elm tree nearby bens statue ready to start their father's funeral, y/n had shape-shifted into a cat and was on laying across fives shoulders, under his umbrella.
Luther walked over to the group carrying the urn as the family formed a loose circle around him.
Pogo was the last to arrive, supporting himself with his cane.
"Whenever you're a ready dear boy" he nods at Luther.
Luther opens the urn and turns it over to let the ashes out but only a small amount plops on the wet grass making Klaus try and hide a laugh.
"Probably would have been better with some wind," Luther said, it made number 8 want to laugh but was too busy grieving the man that ruined her life.
"Does anyone wish to speak?" Pogo asked but was met with silence
"Very well. In all regards, Reginald Hargreeves made me what I am today.. for that alone, I shall be forever in his debt. He was my master... and my friend and I shall miss him very much....he leaves behind a complicated legacy—"
"He was a monster" Diego cut off pogo making everyone look at him and Klaus to let out a breathy laugh the cigarette smoke coming out his mouth.
"He was a bad person and a worse father. The worlds better off without him."
"Diego," Allison said trying to stop him but failed.
"My name is Number Two. You know why? Because our father couldn't be bothered to give us actual names. He had mom do it" Diego said now the air being filled with strong tension.
"Would anyone like something to eat?" Grace asked not knowing the tense situation.
"No, it's ok mom," Vanya answered making graces smile alter a bit before responding with an ok.
"Look you wanna pay your respects? Go ahead" Diego started walking forward looking at everyone.
"But you should be honest about the kinda man he was"
"You should stop talking now" Luther spoke up causing Diego to look and him.
"You know you of all people should be on my side here, number one."
"I am warning you."
"After everything he did to you? He had to ship you a million miles away."
"Diego, stop talking."
"That's how much he couldn't stand the sight of you!" Diego yelled pointing his finger at Luther's chest which made the boys start fighting, Luther going in for a punch but Diego ducks dodging it.
Everyone starts backing up as the two fight "boys! Stop this at once!" Pogo tried but like with Allison he failed as well.
Klaus held an arm out in front of five protectively which five slapped away.
"Come on big boy!" Diego yelled after Luther pushed Diego away a bit.
The two continued as the others watched Vanya yelling at them to stop, Klaus encouraging the fight and y/n shaking her small cat head in embarrassment.
After a few minutes, the two didn't seem like they were giving up, at this point pogo, five, and y/n all left.
Y/n didn't find out till after that they had broke bens statue which broke her heart, she'll have to go and try to fix it later.

Nietzsche once said,' man is as a rope, stretched between the animal and the superhuman. A rope over an abyss.'
As Reginald wrote in his book, the seven children besides Vanya stood at the bottom of the stairs while the two were at the top, the children were wearing green tracksuits, waiting for the queue to start running up the stairs.
'It is a dangerous crossing, a dangerous looking-back, a dangerous trembling, and halting.'
Reginald closed his book looking at Vanya before she blows the whistle giving this a queue to start.
The children start running up the stairs, Luther obviously being up first, but then five uses his powers to teleport higher up the stairs, and y/n shapeshifting into a cat running past the others at a faster pace.
"Thats not fair Five and eight's cheating!" Diego yelled.
"They adapted" Reginald simply stated looking down at the children making their way up the stairs.
The children can be seen getting tattoos of umbrellas on their right wrist, the children being in pain as the tattoos bleed and reddened.
As Diego was getting his done, grace tried to comfort him and tried holding his hand but the boy rejected her hand wanting to seem like he can handle it.
Luther, five, Ben, and y/n and yet to get theirs done as they sat in chairs trying to hide their fear, but it wasn't easy. Y/n hands started shaking vigorously and tried grabbing her left wrist with her right to stop the shaking but when that didn't work five held her hand which calmed her down a little.
'The ties that bind you together, make you stronger than you are alone. They will make you impervious to the pain and hardships the world will thrust upon you. And believe me when I tell you, life will be hard. It will be painful.'
As Reginald walked away, Vanya watched from afar and then took out a black marker to draw a similar version of the tattoo on her wrist to feel included.
As the children slept, Reginald watched them from the cameras set up in their rooms, a line of tubes came from each of the children's rooms all coming from Reginald's office as he wrote in his book.
'We can accomplish anything when we can accept responsibility together. This is what creates trust. Together you will stand against the reign of evil.'

Five and y/n were in the kitchen along with Klaus, while five was searching the kitchen for coffee y/n was tuning a red guitar for Klaus who asked her to.
"Where's Vanya?" Allison asked as she walked into the kitchen walking towards the table in the middle.
" oh, she's gone," Klaus said now hugging the tuned guitar.
"That's unfortunate," five said getting a mumbled yeah from Allison.
"An entire square block. Fourth-two bedrooms, 19 bathrooms, but no, not a single drop of coffee." Five said placing an empty coffee cup on the table.
"Dad hated caffeine" Allison answered.
"Well, he hated children too and he had plenty of us," Klaus responded chuckling softly but got no response to the joke, usually y/n would have laughed but only gave out a low breathy laugh and she was spaced out looking at the table. She spaced out often but was also aware of her surroundings but she just didn't really care.
"I'm taking the car." Five said starting to walk away making y/n snap back to reality looking at him and so did the others.
"Where are you going?" Klaus said no longer hugging the guitar and taking his feet off the table making five look back at him.
"Do get a decent cup of coffee." That made y/n perk up looking at him.
"Can I come?"
"Sure."
"Do you even know how to drive?" Allison asked with her arms crossed.
"I know how to do everything." Five spoke before putting his hand on y/n's shoulder and teleporting away.
"I feel like we should try and stop them, but then again, I also kinda wanna see what happens," Klaus said standing up as the two hear the car starting from outside as he drove away.
