(y/n) - your name

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

The music drifted over us as we danced for a little longer, the happiness I felt waning away.

Not now!

Why are you doing this now!?

What is wrong with you and ruining shit!?

Stop it!

Why can't you just be happy for once...

The smile on my face falls and I felt like tearing up feeling how Five held me, like he wanted me to stay.

But I can't...

I was about to pull away when he brushes my hips with his thumb, leaning his head down to my ear. "I see them." He whispers softly and I just nod, letting him slowly take a step back from me. We walk off from the dance floor casually, acting normal as we followed the group of men up a flight of stairs. A couple walked by us and I quickly pull the little assassin closer to me as my back hits the railing, fixing his collar while he held my waist. He smiles at me with amusement as I hid my face against his shoulder, the both of us waiting for the all-clear and he steps back and that's when the smile on his face falters.

"(y/n), are you-" I don't say anything as I walk up the stairs so we don't lose the group of men, silently following them down a hallway. I made sure to not make any loud movements, turning around to expect Five following me but I stop when I realised he wasn't.

"Five-" I let out a hitched gasp when my arm suddenly gets grabbed and I get pulled into a room with, my back slamming against the closed door with Five hovering over me. "What the fuck Five!?" I hiss softly but I stutter when steps even closer towards me, pressing me against the door and I look at him with wide eyes. One arm held my hip, the other covering my mouth to keep me quiet. He glances down at me and I narrow my eyes at him, his grip loosening that I shook off his hand from my mouth. "What the hell was that for!?" I whisper but he doesn't answer, just staring down at me. I couldn't read his expression, getting flustered by how he doesn't look away. He strokes my cheeks and I turn my head away from him, racing for the doorknob to open the door but he quickly grabs my left wrist.

"Not yet." he whispers but I wasn't focused on his words but the cold shock that rushed through me when he grabbed my arm. I felt fear slam into me, praying he couldn't feel them as his fingers ran up my arm and I grab hold of the doorknob again. "(y/n)-" I quickly rush out of the room, my chest burning like I was suffocating and the room tilted a little. "I'm sorry. One of the men was about to turn around." I nod and wave him off, turning around to see the last of the men walk into a room before the door shuts behind him.

"I'll stay out here and be the lookout. Make sure to not move too much 'cause you're going to jump in a closet." Five nods and space jumps, leaving me in the middle of the empty hallway. I suddenly felt so alone, holding my arms and I moved to sit down on the floor to rest my feet, slumping down against a wall and wedged between two tables.

Don't do it.

Please stop being so fucking miserable and pathetic all the time.

I hold back from tearing up, unsure of why I wanted to cry but I wasn't surprised.

It's been so hard to be remotely happy, even faking it was exhausting it.

I was just so tired.

It wasn't that my 'social battery' was low... I just can't find a reason to be happy.

"Four years and still nothing..." I mutter out.

Why can't I just be happy?

Why do I have to make everything hurt?

I huddle up and lean my head against the table, trying to not cry. I don't know how long it's been but it had been pretty quiet with nothing unusual happening, watching out for when the Swedes come by to attack.

That was until I heard footsteps.

"Are you ok?" I look up to see some random dude standing in front of me, his hands in his pockets and his blazer hanging over one shoulder. He had soft blonde hair, lightly gelled back and wearing a black suit with a black vest and white shirt.

He smiled at me gently and I shrug. "Uh yeah. I just needed some quiet time to myself." I lie. It had become second nature at this point.

"Not much of a party person are you?" I shake my head no.

"What brings you here?" I ask and the guy leans on the wall opposite from me.

"Same as you I guess."

"Couldn't stand the people?" I mutter out and he laughs, nodding.

"Yeah. Just too many snobs and old boring people. No one interesting to talk to. What brings you here? To this party anyway. You don't seem like a crowd girl."

"You're right about that. I came with a date."

"Well, that date doesn't seem to have decent manners. Especially when leaving his girl out here alone." the guy frowns and I just look away.

"I can take care of myself."

"Bet you can, but you shouldn't have to." the guy leans off the wall and comes to sit down with me but he still kept a decent amount of distance so I wouldn't feel uncomfortable, which I was thankful for. "The names Adrien." He held out a hand for me and I shake it.

"(y/n)."

"Pretty-

"-name for a pretty girl. Not very original." I raise a brow at Adrien and he flushes from being caught red-handed.

"Ah, you got me there. A lot of guys must hit on you then."

"Oh god no. Absolutely none." he looks at me with wide emerald eyes in disbelief which I scoffed at

"I don't believe you! You're gorgeous!"

"Sure sure." I roll my eyes.

"So let me guess, no boyfriend?"

"Nope, none. Never had one."

"I can't believe that."

"Well don't cause I'm with her."

Oh shit...

I look up to see Five sneering down at Adrien who jumps in shock since the former teleported behind him. He narrows his eyes at the blond boy with a calm but deadly glare, his hands in his pockets like he was trying to keep himself composed. He glances at me and I shudder from his heated stare, him walking up to me holding a hand out for to take so he could pull me back up on my feet. I gasp when he pulls me up, tugging me close to him.

"Five." I warn him, narrowing my eyes at his behaviour. "Be nice. Uh, this is my date for tonight." I look at Adrien who smiles and quickly stands up on his feet brushing the dirt off his pants. "Five, meet Adrien. Adrien, meet Five."

"Nice to meet you Five." Adrien grins, holding a hand out for a handshake but Five ignores it. "Uh, it was nice talking to (y/n). Maybe we might cross paths later in the future." the former smiles at me, waving as he walked away and disappeared down the stairs.

"Five, he didn't do anything. You didn't have to be so fucking rude-" I hiss loudly when he slams me against the wall, grabbing the back of my neck and pulling my head up to have me look at him. "F-Five-" I whimper when his fingers tangle in my hair to pull me up closer, holding his wrist in slight pain as he slams his other hand next to my head.

"I don't like how he looked at you." he hisses out, eyes dark as he looked down at me and my heart races, shivers running through me. He leans his head down to my neck and I breathe out shakily when his lips brush against my ear. "You're mine." He growls out against my shoulder and I gasp out.

"Five... please..." I feel him smile against my neck from my pleas as his hand falls away from my hair. I blink at him, my eyes going wide with fear when I look past his shoulder. "Move!" I shove him away and dodge the arms of one of the Swedes that had crept up behind the little assassin, his hands slamming against the wall above my head when I ducked down.

"Shit!" Five mutters out.

"Five!" the Swede grabs him by his blazer, slamming him against the wall but he teleports away and lands in front of me. The swede looks at me, taking a step towards me but the little assassin quickly teleports behind him, kicking the back of his knee. He jumps on the Swede, trying to suffocate him from behind but gets thrown forward against the floor. "Shit!" I look behind me at the room where the men were in knowing they heard that.

I lowkey don't want to do this.

I reach over for the hanging sash over my shoulder and rip it off, careful to ot ruin the sleeves before running towards the doorknob. I tied one end before tying the other around another doorknob opposite the door to keep them locked inside.

Not going to do much but it's something.

Five quickly teleports away before the Swede could hit him and the Swede turns around to face him. The Boy looks at me with worry, trying to teleport to me but his powers weren't working as they fizzed out around his hands.

Do something!

I quickly pick up a vase without thinking and slam it against the back of the Swede's head as hard as I could, watching him crumble to the floor on hid knees as the back of his head bleeds but he doesn't pass out.

"How the fuck did that not take you out!?" I shriek and quickly take a step back when the Swede turns around to face me and he grabs my arm, twisting it his arm and I hiss out in pain.

"Let her go you piece of shit!" Five jumps and kicks the Swede in the back and he lets me go.

"Five! (y/n)!" I turn around to see Diego run up the stairs.

"Behind you!" I yell out but before Diego could dodge, another Swede comes from behind him, choking him with some sort of rope or belt.

"(y/n)!" I turn around and the next thing I know, I get punched in the face as my head whips to the side. I collide against the wall, my cheek pounding in pain and I cry out in pain as the Swede punches me in the stomach over and over again before I quickly dodge his next attack making him break a table. Five screams out in anger but gets thrown to the floor by another Swede that started attacking him. I run around my Swede and kick him in the back of his knee with my heels, grabbing a broken table leg and swinging it across the head of the Swede that was hitting Five. Hard. It splinters across his face and he falls to the ground.

"Fucking sons of bitches!" I pant out, grabbing The Boy's hand and pulling him up on his feet. We quickly step back when our two Swedes stand up before us again. "They don't know how to stop, do they!?"

"Lila!" Diego calls for her and I see her hesitating but I had more important matters to deal with when the two Swedes jump to attack us again! Five and I quickly dodge them and I kick my Swede closer to the window, swinging a leg up between his legs to destroy his family jewels. Lila runs towards us, jumping on a wall and swinging on the chandelier. She wraps her legs around one of the Swedes and makes him flip back.

"You're welcome." she pants out and I quickly grab the Swede's jacket to throw him out the window, turning around to pick up the broken table leg and throw it again at the dude who I kicked his nuts. He stops, looking at me in shock that I just threw something at his head and I quickly take one of my shoes off, throwing it at his face too. He wacks it away and I quickly take off my other shoe to throw it and I wince as the heels hit him square in eyes.

"Five." I huff out when I looked out the window, noticing Reggie waiting for his car outside with Grace. The Boy turns to me and I point out the window as he stands next to me. "How the fuck did he get out?" Lila quickly punches the Swede that got hit with my heel but Five teleports away to try and stop his dad. "And I'm out of here." I back away from the fight and pick up my dress to run down the stairs, dashing outside and I catch up to Five while he looked for his dad. I turn around and I see Diego fighting the last two Swedes by himself while Lila ran away. "For fucks sake Lila." I hiss out in annoyance but turn around to search for Reggie and I see him about to get in a car.

Time for my microphone voice to finally y come in use.

I take in a deep breath and, "HEY ALIEN REGINALD HARGREEVES." I scream out the words and I see him jump in fright, quickly whipping his head around to look at me as Five looks at me with wide eyes.

I shove The Boy forward and he yells out in ancient greek. "'Ἄνδρα μοι ἔννεπε, Μοῦσα, πολύτροπον, ὃς μάλα πολλὰ.'" Reginald looks at us for a bit before getting in his car and driving off, Diego and Lila coming to join us after.

"Was that him?" knife boy asks.

"Yeah..." I sigh out and Diego grumbles out in annoyance.

"You know, I'm starting to get the feeling dad's avoiding us." I scoff in amusement at Five's words, shifting my weight from foot to foot as they were freezing from the concrete.

"Hate to be the boring one, guys, but uh, it's time we get the hell out of here." Lila says and I nod in agreement.

"When you say 'we,' who exactly are you referring to?" Five snaps at Lila, not trusting her at all now that he's seen her fight.

"Not a lot of ambiguity in that sentence." The Handler's kid says.

"Listen, I don't know who you are or where you came from, but whatever it is, I'd advise you return posthaste." The boy sneers, gently holding his shoulder so he doesn't start a fight with his brother's girlfriend.

"Five, let's go. I'm tired." I whisper to him and he looks at me softly, noticing how I held my stomach and he frowns.

"I just saved your life, you kinder-shit!" Lila exclaims in frustration. "If I hadn't stepped in, all that would be left of you is a blazer and some bloody socks!"

"And that's the problem! You're too good. You ask too many questions. You know too much. And you fight like you know what you're doing." Five explains and even Diego was realising what he meant.

"He's got a point. Not even (y/n) knows how to fight."

"That's it!" I yell out, picking up a rock to throw at Diego and he dodges it, squaring up to me as I start throwing things at him.

"Whoever you are, you're in my way." Five says and I yelp when he suddenly picks me up and throws me over his shoulder.

"Put me down-"

"-if I see you again, I will kill you-"

"-Five I swear to fucking god!" I yell at him as he simply walks off with me over this shoulder. "Five please-" I hiss out in pain and he sets me down on my feet as I clutch my stomach. "You don't have to just throw me over your shoulder like some damn sack of potatoes!" I sneer at him and he rolls his eyes at me.

"You act like a brat." I gasp, huffing and walking off away from him. "(y/n), please," he sighs as I don't talk to him, trailing behind me. "you're going the wrong way." I freeze and turn to face him, so close to putting up with his attitude right now. I don't say anything and just follow him down the right path through the forest. "I can't believe her mission was to actually protect me... Why...?" he mumbles to himself, trying to figure out The Handler's reason for all of this.

"I don't know... Maybe The Handler is just some yandere who is seriously obsessed with you." I mumble to myself as I feel my swollen cheek, wincing at the sting of pain. "It's like she's into little boys in booty shorts." The Boy looks at me in disgust at my words.

"I don't know why you'd think that."

"Have you seen the way she interacts with you!? It's almost as if you had a past relationship or something and she's some sort of crazy ex." I gasp out when I thought of something, stepping away from Five. "Were you two a thing when you worked at the Commission!?"

He grimaces in absolute disgust. "Fuck, (y/n)! No! Don't say that again!" He shudders and quickly grabs my arm to pull me in front of him so I don't get lost. He holds me against his chest as he walked behind me, his arms around my shoulders and his chin leaning on top of my head. And even though I was annoyed with him, I liked this. "I don't want to get that kind of image in my head ever!"

"Ok, ok." I put my arms up in defence, the both of us sneaking past the party guests through the trees. It was a cold night and I shivered when the wind blew against us.

Doesn't help that I'm also barefoot.

"Here." I look up at Five as he drapes his blazer over my shoulders, tucking me in and buttoning it up for me.

"Thanks." I smile but frown seeing his cracked lips and swollen cheek. "Shit, I need to clean you up." I wipe the blood away from his lips and he winces softly.

"I don't need it. You do. You got hit more than me." he frowns, poking my stomach and I hiss out before I whack his hand away.

"I'm fine-"

"-shut up." I squeal when he suddenly picks me up again but this time bridal style, smirking down at me when I hold his shoulders tightly. "Let's get you home."

Ok, so I was rewatching the fight scene with the Swedes and I managed to stop the video at a golden moment.

I'm sorry for doing our boy dirty like this but I couldn't help to burst out laughing! 😂😂😂😂😂

I never knew my pause game was this good! 😂😂
