(y/n) - your name

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Five was carrying me up the stairs from the surgery room or whatever room that we were in from the basement, bringing me up to his room without teleporting. I could see on his face that he was still worried, still scared for me as he held me to his chest. "Five..." I whisper, the frown on his face softening as he looks at me. "You know I can walk right?" I grin at him when I manage to get a crack of a smile from him, him raising a brow at me cheekily.

"You know that you actually can't right?" He pinches my leg and I swat his hand away. "You don't have feeling yet idiot."

"Jeez ok but you don't need to make me look like a damsel in distress." I huff out teasingly, crossing my arms in front of my chest and my little assassin just chuckles, kissing my cheek and I melt in his arms.

I really can't stay too mad at my lovable psycho.

We reached Five's bedroom and he gently sets me down on his bed, going rigid when I hissed from the slight pain and I bit my lip to not scare him off but it was too late when he looked at me with wide eyes, gently holding my cheeks. "Where does it hurt? Are you still in pain? Shit, I'm so sorry! I should've done something to stop all this! Why didn't I know about this!?" It was like a damn had broken and Five was suddenly pacing in front of me, his emotions in complete haywire as he mumbled something about trying to keep me safe.

"Five." I try to gain his attention when he blinks around, going off about needing to correct the timeline again and I worry knowing he was having another difficult moment. He was muttering about people's names and who he needed to get rid of and I knew I needed to quickly calm him down before he had another panic attack. "Five!" I gasp when he leans against his table, suddenly struggling to breathe and I get up to calm him down but I hiss from the pain that shoots through my legs.

This gains his attention immediately and he blinks back to me and urges me to sit back down. "Don't move! Don't go anywhere! Please don't disappear!" He exclaims, him panicking that the world around him would trap him in the future again when I saw his eyes glaze over. "Please not again-"

"-Five!" I yell out and he blinks at me when I snap him out of his mind, holding his shaking hands that held my cheeks. "Five..." I lower my tone, brushing my thumb over his knuckles and his shoulders lower when he realised he wasn't in the future again, the weight falling off once more and he crumbles into himself. "I'm right here. You're still here. You're not alone, you're not in the future." He couldn't bear to look at me and I gently held his jaw and turned his head to look at the calendar. "Look at the date. Read it out to me." My little assassin breathes out the date and he sighs in relief before letting me pull him down to sit next to me on his bed.

"I'm not-"

"-no, no you're not." I pat his chest to calm his racing heart and he drops his head against my shoulder.

"I was... I just couldn't... not again..."

"I know. You're not there anymore-"

"-no, I was terrified of losing you." Five murmurs out and I look at him with wide eyes when he sits back up. "You weren't waking up, you wouldn't wake up. I was... (y/n), you didn't wake up for days and I couldn't-I don't know what I would've done if you didn't wake up. I didn't know what to do and I hated that I couldn't do anything or do anything to help you-I couldn't lose you. Not again..." his voice lowers when I reach out to stroke his cheeks, the dry streaks still there and he leans into my palm. "(Y/n)-"

"-I'm still here. I'm not going anywhere. I am right here. I'm awake, this isn't a dream. I'm right here in front of you Five." I urge him to look at me and he does, leaning his forehead on mine and pressing a shaky kiss on my lips to make sure I was really here. He moves back just slightly, breathing out softly in relief as he smiles.

"You're here. You're always here."

"I am. I'm not leaving you alone." I hold his jaw, stroking his cheek and he takes hold of my hand to kiss my palm.

"You're here..."

"I'm ok, Five." I urged him when he flinched away from my arm when I accidentally winced from the slight pain of him cleaning my wounds and him wrapping me up with fresh gauze. He helped me clean up and was being so gentle with me, almost afraid to hurt me even more. He looked at me with such a guilty look and I know that he was afraid, afraid of hurting me like he did last time.

"I-"

"-I'm ok." I press on, reaching up to hold his cheek with my wrapped hands, him flinching away before settling against my fingertips and my palm as he nestled into my touch. He had his eyes squeezed shut, letting me take the gauze from his hands since he was all done wrapping me up. He kept his eyes closed and let me put on a big shirt before I tapped his arm to let me know he could open his eyes again. He does and looks down at me so softly, gently rubbing my cheek that had a bruise on it with a frown. "Five..." I take his hand away and he looks me in the eyes before picking me up and gently setting me up further on his bed to let me rest. Once I felt the sheets I grew tired and sleepy and he knew this. I waited for my little assassin when he teleported away to shower and change into his pjs, coming back to my open arms and settling down in bed next to me before pulling me gently to lay on his chest.

Five ran his fingers up and down my back to lull me to sleep as I nestled my head on his chest, being quiet between us until his shaky voice muttered out. "What do we do now?"

"I... I don't know..." I sigh out with a frown.

"And this new academy? I thought he promised you-"

"-he lied ok." I snapped angrily.

"That's the old man for you." Five whispers into my hair, his other hand moving up to entwine with mine that rested on his chest where his heart would be. "If he brings this new academy, maybe he can let us off to live a normal life."

"I don't know. He sounded worried. There's something wrong."

"You have me, (y/n), you have the Umbrella Academy. We can stop whatever it is that we need to face up against."

"But for the third time? Why can't the universe just let you rest?"

"We'll get past this and then we can have our time to rest, sweetheart. We'll be together finally. Just... just one more fight." Five says as he raises my hand and kisses the back of it.

"Alright... one more fight."

"That's my girl. How about you get some more rest? We need you to heal more."

"Mhm." I nod in agreement, hearing my little assassin chuckle as I close my eyes to sleep with him, feeling him kiss the top of my head before we fall asleep together.

"(Y/n)...?"

I sigh softly when I feel something soft brush against my cheek, stroking my nose and making me scrunch it from the ticklish feeling as I open my eyes. I blink at Five who was kneeling down in front of the bed, smiling at him as he blushes and continues to gently stroke my cheek.

"Mhm...?" I was too tired to speak and he noticed this which made him frown.

"Sweetheart, I need to change your bandages, they're ruined."

"Tired..."

"Baby, I know but we need to do this." I groaned as I slowly sat up, my arms shaking from how much they ached and I was actually concerned for myself as I looked down at the bandages that were soaked.

"Shit..."

"Hey, no. You're ok. Just needs to heal more." My little assassin tilts my chin to look at him and I nod, letting him help me remove the old bandages and put on the new ones. It was a slow process since I was struggling to lift my limbs. I just was so physically tired. "I'll go get Grace to make you something to eat."

"Five you don't need to-" he teleports away and I roll my eyes but smile at how kind he was being with me. I figured to lay back down and rest until he came back but I was worried about why it was taking so long. I got anxious for some reason and slowly got back out, gritting my teeth from the pain when I tried to stand up on my feet.

Ok, I'm balanced.

I held my arms out, steadying myself as I slowly walked towards the door and out of the bedroom to head down the stairs. I leaned against the railing and heard voices yelling over at each other, furrowing my brows in confusion as I stepped down a bit more to see Five and Reginald yelling at each other.

"You stay away from her!" Five screamed at his father.

"You and I both know she needs to heal and I know how to help. You cannot do anything, especially when the threat-"

"-what threat!? We're fine! We defeated the apocalypse! There is no threat and there is no need for you to build this fucking Sparrow Academy!"

"Boy, you dare-"

Five immediately turned around as if he sensed me, his anger melting away to show concern before he teleported to me. "(Y/n), you should be upstairs!" He gasps softly, holding me up against him before he teleports us to the couch in the living room to let me rest.

"You were taking a while and I was worried." I shake my head, staying standing up which makes my boyfriend frown at me.

"Let's get you back up-"

"-what is going on Five?" I cut him off and he opens his mouth probably to lie but I narrow my eyes at him and he sighs in defeat.

"It's nothing." He hisses when he says this to his father. "Nothing to worry about. We're fine. We have the rest of time to be together." He turns back to me, his hand reaching up to brush my hair back.

"Five-" I start but everyone jumps when the door slams open to reveal a seething Allison, her fuming with a heartbroken look in her eyes.

"You!" She points as she yells at me and I turn around in confusion while pointing at myself.

"Me?"

"I have a fucking bone to pick with you!"

"The fuck I do!?" I exclaim.

"What's with all the noise?" I suddenly hear Diego and I look over to see the rest of the Umbrella family walk into the living room with Grace, her setting down a plate of cookies for me as the others surround us.

Been craving for these!

How did Grace know!?

I ignore everything and happily grab a cookie that was made fresh from the oven, leaning back in confusion to see Luther holding Allison back for some reason like she wanted to charge at me.

"Crazy! You're ok!" Out of nowhere, Klaus suddenly jumped on me and almost squeezed the life out of me again as he picked me up and spun me around.

"Klaus! Can't breathe!" I wheeze out until he finally lets me go and sets me back down on my feet, petting my head.

"How are you feeling (y/n)?" Vanya asks and I shrug.

"Ok, I guess. Still in pain but it's tolerable." I was talking with the siblings and I guess it ticked Reggie off cause he silenced us.

"Enough!" He clears his throat, acting civilised as he fixes his blazer and makes his announcement. "As I have told Number Five, I am bringing the Sparrow Academy to replace you. They are coming back from their undercover mission."

"You wouldn't dare." I hiss and he raises a brow at me.

"Already did."

"You-!" Five held me back before I could try to attack his father.

"Sparrow who?" Vanya asks.

"An academy I have designed with my children, in your disappearance, who have been training especially to exceed you."

"Who the fuck are these bird brains to replace the best Academy!?" Diego growls as Luther gasps, feeling betrayed by his father.

"How could you replace us? We saved the world, twice!"

"But it was you who put the world in peril. Twice." Reggie glares at Luther and he slinks back with a wince, still holding onto Allison.

"So you lied to me. You said you wouldn't adopt another set of kids Reginald." I hiss out and he purses his lips as he looks at me, an almost hesitant look in his eyes like he was about to say something.

"Ben!?" Klaus exclaims, gaining everyone's attention to what he was looking at to find him looking up at his supposed dead brother. Ben was glaring at all of us in that stupid-looking red uniform of his with an even more stupid ass smug face.

The fuck happen to him?

When did he get so emo!?

"Dad, who the hell are these assholes?" Ben snarls at us and I look at the other 6 Sparrow kids that were with him.

Well, they look relatively un-super-like. Except for the chick who's blind, she looks cool...

"Shit." all us Umbrella Kids, including me, mumble out.

"You've got to be shitting me right now..." I sigh out angrily as I stand up but Five glares at me to sit back down but I shoot him a look and stand next to him. Luther and Klaus were gobsmacked to see their brother alive again in front of them and honestly, I would be too since I cried a fucking flood when I saw him die for the second time!

"And who are the weirdos on the balcony!?" Diego's eyes literally twitch as he glares at the other kids who walk down the stairs to stand next to Ben. Reginald introduces each kid, mentioning their name and their number.

"Reggie literally just said these were the Sparrows." I sigh out. "And Ben is a part of their fucking team!"

"Ben is part of the Sparrow Academy!?" Klaus exclaims, looking betrayed and hurt.

"I'm sorry. What do you mean, your children? That's not possible, old man." Five glares at Reginald, scoffing but I could see the growing hatred for his father. I knew that no matter what, the Umbrella Academy just wanted approval from Reggie.

"Of course it is! I think I'd know, wouldn't I?"

"Everybody else can see Ben, right?" Klaus mutters out, hoping he isn't going crazy and seeing his brother's ghost. He was legit losing his mind but he sounded relieved to see his Ben again.

"Cute hat, Sundance." The said boy mocks Klaus' cowboy hat he, for some reason, was wearing again and honestly, I was fucking done with this situation.

"Everybody just fucking shut up! I've had enough!" all the kids looked at me, the Sparrows glaring at me while the Umbrellas were frowning. "Look, it's obvious Reginald didn't adopt the Umbrellas like I had begged him to after lying to my fucking face that he would!" I yell at him and he steps back and I know he remembers our conversation at that diner back in the 60s. "I shouldn't be surprised that you would fucking backstab me anyway! You're all about greed and power! I mean look at those smug assholes who think they're better than everyone!" I point to the Sparrows and they take a step forward to attack but Ben stops them, ignoring the frown on his face.

"And instead, he adopted the Sparrows and not you guys," I look at the Umbrella kids who were angry. "so even though the Umbrellas are Reginald's kids in another timeline and they grew up in this house as the world's heroes, in this timeline, the Sparrows are his and this worlds supposed heroes. He never bought you from your mothers." I mutter out to the Umbrellas and they stiffen at me mentioning that. They had always had an inkling of a feeling that they had real parents who weren't Reginald and Grace but never wanted to push on finding them.

"Is she telling the truth?" Marcus asks as he looks at me in confusion.

"Of fucking course I am!" I snap at him, turning to Reginald. "He knows I am because I know his true identity and his life from before this. All of this!" I hiss out and he narrows his eyes at me.

"Five, what the hell is going on!?" Allison hisses and he rolls his shoulders, ready for anything and I knew he needed to teleport to the briefcase that was in his room.

"I don't know yet, but it's concerning." He mutters out as he looks at me with worry, holding my shoulders gently.

I hear the Umbrellas still try to convince the Sparrows that this house was theirs, that they lived in it and the Sparrows mock them. I facepalm, not surprised that they didn't understand anything I explained.

"I kind of think we would have noticed you." Sloane says.

"Hi. I'm Luther." I snap my head as soon as I hear his tone and I look at him making googly eyes at one of the female Sparrow kids.

"Luther! No! Not again!" he jumps and looks at me with wide eyes.

"What!? What did I do!?" the two academies continue to argue with each other and I run my hands down my face, so fed up with the situation. I suddenly hear mumbling and whirring, leaning to the side behind Luther to see a cube!?

"Holy fucking shit! That's a talking cube! Oh my god! One of yous got replaced by a fucking inanimate object I can't!" I burst out laughing, smacking my knee as the Umbrellas narrow their eyes at me before the two academies start arguing again. I was about to leave to rest back in the bedroom when I suddenly felt sick, a sudden flash of darkness rushing by the corners of my eyes. I snap around, blinking in confusion at what I saw as my vision clears.

"(y/n)?" Five quickly holds me up against him when my legs shake beneath me, sudden whispering deafening my ears before it all just disappears. He looks down at me with worry and I hold my head, shuddering from a spike of cold rushing down my spine. "Shit, are you ok?"

"Yeah, I... I'm fine love..." he furrows his brow as he holds me up, the both of us worried as the academies start yelling at each other and getting too close. "This is not going to end well..." my little assassin nods in agreement, moving to hold my back subtly to still comfort me as I lean back against his chest. I look over the Sparrows and notice Ben flick his eyes between me and Five with a frown, his other siblings snickering and whispering to him until he snaps at them to shut up.

"Psst. Ben-er-ino!" I look over at Klaus who grinned at Ben. "You look so much better alive than you do dead."

Oh, Klaus, you should have not said that...

"Am I right? Except that haircut."

"What the hell did you just say!?" Ben hisses out and I look at Five worryingly.

"Come on, come on! Stop with all the hostility, Mr. Grumpy Pants." Klaus walks up to Ben and I really just wanted to stop him and drag him back. "Oh wow. Nice scar. Muy macho."

"Shut your mouth!"

"You shut your mouth and just hug your brother-"

"-Klaus!" I yell out when Ben suddenly punches him in the face and I glare at him.

I don't care if he used to be one of my babies, but no one hurts Klaus!

"You didn't have to punch him!" I yell at Ben as I quickly catch Klaus before he could fall over, him whining softly at the bruise forming on his cheek.

"Oh, I'm pretty sure I did!" Ben yells back at me and I growl at him.

"You fucking bastard!" I yell at him, the both of us getting close.

"What did you say bi-"

"-don't you even dare finish that sentence!" Luther hisses out when he gets in front of me and shoves Ben back to give me space, this in turn making Marcus shove Luther back but he moves to swing a fist at his face. Marcus easily dodges and kicks him in the stomach which makes him suddenly fly back across the room, starting the fight between the two academies.

"Luther!" I gasp but Five quickly drags me away to avoid being caught in the fight, teleporting away with me and hiding me behind the liquor counter. "Five we need to-"

"-no, I'm not losing you! I can't risk you getting hurt again." He holds my face gently, pursing his lips but I shake my head.

"You can't-"

"-(y/n), please. I can't see you hurt." he begs me and I freeze, frowning but I slowly nod.

He kisses my forehead quickly before teleporting away and I sigh out at how useless I felt. I was just a normal citizen at this point. I didn't know anything about the new season. I was just a liability now. I lean over the edge to peer over the side of the counter I was kneeling behind to see Luther and Marcus fighting, Klaus muttering about peace and love as he waddles away in pain. I snicker softly at the leaders looking at Klaus in confusion.

I mean who wouldn't be? Klaus is an enigma.

I look over to hear rumbling and see Diego fighting Chris the cube, arguing back about how good his hair looks.

Wait how did he understand him?

But I mean, yeah agreed. Long-haired Diego was a good look but Five.

GODDAMN! He gets hotter every fucking season!

And especially in this new season! AYE PAPI!
