(y/n) - your name

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

I carefully set Vanya down on a park bench seat while the family groaned and grumbled in pain, dropping down next to her with a hiss while avoiding Five's glances at me as he sat opposite from me.

"Just gonna sit. I'm just gonna sit for a minute." Luther groans out in pain, breathing out heavily as he clutches his chest.

"That didn't go well." Diego hisses as he holds his back.

"No, not our best work." Five mumbles out, clutching his head that was bleeding. Klaus was lying on the picnic table, stretching and cracking his joints which made me and my boyfriend wince.

"Oh, I'm cracking." Klaus grunts softly and I turn to Luther who just looks gobsmacked.

"Bro, you good?" I ask, still trying to avoid Five's glance and Klaus could tell something was up between us as he raises a brow at me.

"I don't know yet. I've just never had my ass handed to me like that before. It's like..." Luther raises his hands to me while I bite down on my lips to hold in my laughter. "Here you go. It's your ass." I burst out laughing as Allison exclaims that Luther might have a concussion.

"'It's your ass' Boy I can't with this!" I wheezed out from laughing, groaning in pain as there was a dull ache hitting me in my chest from the explosion. "Explosion, forgot I'm still healing..." I wince, rubbing my chest and I look up to see Five staring at me with worry, wringing his hands together. I look away and freeze when I suddenly see everyone staring at me. "What? Why are you all looking at me?"

"I know that you have told us that you can't tell us what's happening in the future since it would change the timeline but there has to be something you can tell us about what the fuck is going on right?" Vanya asked me and everyone was waiting for some piece of good news but I shook my head.

"I can't."

"Why not!?" Diego exclaims and I sigh out.

"I only knew about things that were going to happen up till we came back home from Dallas. Only up till then. I... I have no clue about what's going to happen from now on..." I let out a shaky breath as I ran my fingers through my hair. "I'm in the dark just like you all."

"How is that possible? Is it selective or-"

"-look she just can't ok." Five snaps at Luther, my boyfriend looking at me softly. "It stops up to us coming back home so we need to figure everything out together."

"But is it true, what you said back at home about Reginald adopting a new set of 7 kids...?" Luther asks, a look of betrayal on his face when I nod.

"Yeah... In this timeline, he adopted the Sparrows which included Ben, and not you guys."

"So that's why he's alive!" Klaus says happily that his brother is alive again, probably already forgetting the fact that he punched him in the face.

"And he's a complete dickhead." Allison says before Digeo speaks.

"They're all dickheads."

"Dickheads who can fight." Luther says and Five groans out in annoyance, rubbing his temple like he is getting a headache.

"Okay, the next person to say 'dickhead' is getting a punch to the throat." we all say 'dickhead' again, even me and my little assassin shakes his head in disbelief.

"Let me get this straight, dad adopted a bunch of different kids just so he didn't have to raise us?" Klaus asks and I nod.

The family commented about how that was so like their dad to pull a move like this, Luther complaining that he was right about not asking him for help back in the 60's.

"I think you're all missing the big picture here." Five speaks up and everyone looks at him but I look up at the sky to try and ease the pounding in my body. "If dad didn't adopt us as kids, he changed the timeline. So who knows what else is different now." His siblings ask him why he didn't know and he scoffs. "Sorry, but it might take me more than 20 minutes and a traumatic brain injury to figure this all out. Is that ok with you all?"

"No, actually, it's not." Allison hisses and I look at her with annoyance at her attitude. "You both fucked up this timeline! You ruined me! You took away the one thing I needed!" She yells out, growing frustrated.

"The fuck are you on about!?" I snap back, just as annoyed.

"I can't find Claire! My daughter! Not even my husband!" Allison screams out.

"Is that why you went missing the last couple of days?" Klaus asks.

"Allison, what do you mean you can't find them?" Diego says.

"Someone else is living in my home! I don't have any way to contact them, none of the neighbours know who I'm talking about!" Five stands up immediately to block his sister when she stands up and glares at me, pointing at me. "And it's all your fault!"

"Allison! Take it easy! Maybe they just live somewhere else!" Luther tries to calm her down but she grows agitated.

The family starts arguing with each other now and I pinch the bridge of my nose, closing my eyes to try and relax and ease the pain in my body. My mind wandered back to the fight and I furrowed my brows in confusion, wondering how the fuck I managed to escape Sloane's gravity hold. I remembered seeing a flash of darkness that travelled across the room to slam into her.

The fuck was that?

If this is some creepy Flatliners shit...

"Guys, look, we still have The Commission's briefcase. So worst case, we can just go back in time and fix it." Vanya says, trying to keep the peace within her siblings.

"Great. Ok, there are two problems with that statement." Five starts. "First off-"

"-here we go." Klaus deflated knowing his brother was going to go into a lecture right now.

"Time travel is complicated, people."

"Yeah, we get it. Your job is so hard." Diego scoffs. "Just... what."

"And secondly," Five clears his throat, almost nervously and I reopen my eyes to look at him. "I no longer have the briefcase."

"What!?" I jump as everyone yells out, looking at Five in annoyance.

"Five, where the hell is the briefcase!?" Allison snaps and I narrow my eyes at her, quickly disliking her attitude.

"In my room but I'm sure by now they have found it and hid it somewhere else in the house."

I ignore the angry stares between the family when something else catches my eye. I squint into the distance to see a dark figure hiding behind a tree from the corner of my eyes, red eyes staring right at me and I turn to look at the tree properly to see the figure disappear. I quickly stand up, fear swarming over me as I hold my arms to my chest, walking away to clear my head. I shook my head, trying to get the cold unsafe feeling away but it clung to me and made me feel sick to my stomach.

"What's up with her?" I hear Diego ask in the far distance, closing my eyes to try and just calm my heart that was jumping in my chest.

This isn't good...

"There's nothing there... you're seeing things... It was just the shadow. I mean it's nice and sunny out." I breathe out, ruffling my hair but I yelp when I feel a hand hold my waste.

"Easy." I hear Five behind me and his voice soothes my head but I was still jumpy. "Easy sweetheart." He whispers and I shudder when his fingers brush over my bare waist beneath my shirt, holding me tighter and stepping closer to me.

"You know I don't like being scared." I flush when I feel my boyfriend's warmth against my back, his thumb rubbing my skin.

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you (y/n)..." I turn around when I hear the sad tone in his voice, seeing him look down at me with a frown but I remember what happened back with Dolores and I narrow my eyes at him, crossing my arms.

"I don't want to talk to you Five." I walk away from his grasp but he teleports in front of me and I pinch the bridge of my nose in annoyance. "Five I'm not in the mood-"

"-just let me explain, please. Just 5 minutes." he raises his hands and I clench my jaw, looking at him.

I don't know if my anger was justifiable or not, I just felt really shitty that Five was hallucinating about Dolores and kissing her.

Is it wrong of me to feel so mad?

Is it selfish of me to wish that it was me?

Maybe I'm just overthinking about this.

It was just a hallucination, right?

Jayme could've been controlling it right?

Or was what he saw what he truly wanted?

Did he want Dolores... and not me?

Jesus fucking Christ why is this whole thing making me feel like shit!?

"Fine... you got 3 minutes boy." I hiss out and Five blinks at me like he was surprised that I would even hear him out.

"The hallucination, yes I saw Dolores," I glare at him but he shakes his head, hoping I would let him continue and I do. "but it wasn't her who I was kissing." I furrow my brows, unsure if I should believe him. "In the hallucination, Dolores and I were arguing about how I left her and then she walked away and I saw you." I freeze when I see him look at me softly like he was seeing an angel. "God, you looked so beautiful. You were older, we were older... married even..." I take a step back from that statement, my heart racing and Five frowns when I move away from him. "I went to hug you and well, you pulled me in for a kiss saying you missed me..." he looked away in embarrassment as he rubbed his neck, his cheeks turning pink.

He's... blushing...

It was an adorable sight I had to admit, but I still didn't know if he was lying just for me to stop being mad at him. "How do I know you're not lying?" Five frowns but nods in understanding that he could just be saying all these sweet things for me to just stop being mad at him.

"I don't ever want to hurt you again (y/n). After how afraid I made you of me back in Dallas... of what I did that I should never have done, I never want that again... I never want you to be afraid of me or be angry at me or keep your distance from me. I want you close." he steps forward to hold my hands gently, squeezing them in his. "I don't want you to hate or not trust me so I will only tell you the truth."

I sigh out as he leans his forehead on mine, pulling me closer. "I know you're a straightforward man, Five. You don't beat around the bush so lying is a waste of time to you..." I mumble out. "But that still doesn't mean that I won't feel like shit, feel like I'm not enough for you to want me."

"God no (y/n)! You're everything that I want and only need." My boyfriend quickly pulls me into his chest to hug me and I rest my head on his shoulder, squeezing him back just as tightly. "You're the only one for me..." he kisses the top of my head and I breathe out, feeling not as furious at him as I was before. I still wasn't sure if he was lying or not but I guess I could give him the benefit of the doubt. For now.

"I'm still mad at you..." my voice muffled against his blazer and my little assassin chuckles.

"I know but I will make it up to you until and even after you're not mad at me anymore." I chuckle softly at how I have this boy so wrapped around my finger. I hug him tight and he does the same, my eyes catching a wisp of darkness flying past the corner of my eyes and I quickly step away in fright. "(Y/n)? What's wrong-"

"-nothing. Nothing." I shook my head, holding my arms as I looked around anxiously. "Let's just go back to the family." Five nods hesitantly, taking hold of my hand and I look behind me once more for whatever was haunting me before he teleported us away back to the family.
