(y/n) - your name

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

Five pulls me out of the underground room but I pull back on his arm that held mine, the both of us stopping on the stairwell. "(y/n), I have to get Grace to fix you up again. You're bleeding out-"

"-no! Don't you get it! Vanya is the bomb!" Five jumps back as I yelled at him.

A flash of hurt appears in his eyes before it disappears but he looks down at the doorway behind me with his brows furrowed. "She causes the apocalypse?"

"Yes! But she doesn't do it on purpose! Her powers take control of her and it's like her mind disappears! She's just hurting Five, she's been hurting the minute she was born and no one was there to help her." he looks back at me, leaning me against the wall. "You know what that feels like, being so alone and having no one. She's just scared. We just need to help her. Locking her up is making it worse!"

"We need to get Luther to open the chamber-"

"-he won't do it, that fucking asshole."

"We can try to convince him!"

"For once I'm saying this, but we don't have time Five!"

"There has to be something-"

"-check the surveillance room." I grunt as I lean off the wall, gently shoving him towards the exit above us. "There has to be some button that unlocks the door automatically."

"I can't leave you here!" he shoves away my arms but I take a step back from him.

"I'll be fine-" I wince out, looking down at my stomach and moving my hand I had pressed against it to see that blood stopped flowing. "Just find Allison and get her to take you to the room. She knows where it is." I turn Five around but he looks at me over his shoulder with worry.

"(y/n)..." 

"Five we don't have time-" my breath hitches when he suddenly turns back around to face me, reaching out to hold my hand and my cheek.

His hand squeezes mine tightly and I look up at him with wide eyes. "I don't want you getting hurt anymore." His voice cracks, stuttering slightly while his thumb brushed against my cheek softly and my heart pounds from his gentle touch. 

I lean into his hands, sighing out from its sudden warmth. "I won't Five. I promise I won't." he squeezes his eyes closed, leaning his forehead against mine and letting out a shaky sigh.

"There were so many times that I could've lost you. I don't want you to leave me." Five whispers out and I hold his face in my hands, his arms grasping mine that held his cheeks.

"I'm still here aren't I? I won't die on you." I wipe away the stray tear that escapes down his cheek as he nods. I pull his head down gently, pressing a soft kiss on his forehead. "Not now, not ever." I let him go and he steps back, taking his blazer off and helping me put it on.

"You better keep that promise." I nod and Five hesitantly runs off towards the exit before I walk back down to the underground room. Vanya screams and pounds on the glass of the chamber as she saw the blazer on me, knowing I was there. I could hear her slightly from the other side.

"(y/n)! I'm so sorry! Please! I didn't mean it!" She cries out and I place my hands on the chamber. She stumbles back with panic and regret, seeing my fingers accidentally leave bloody prints on the glass and she cries realising that it was her fault that I was hurt. "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" She cries out, apologising to me

"Vanya! Can you hear me!?" She doesn't answer back and I sigh out, trying to turn the handle. "Come on, come on!" I grunt, heaving my whole body down to get some momentum but I was too weak to do anything. The room suddenly starts shaking and rumbling and I look up to see a fearful look on Vanya's face. "Vanya no! Don't listen to the voices in your head! Please! We're not afraid! I'm not afraid Vanya! Don't give in!" I pound on the glass. "I'm sorry Vanya! I'm sorry! Please!" I cry out and she takes a step back, holding her head in her hands. "Vanya!" I scream out, placing my hands on the walls of the chamber.

I close my eyes, trying to push forward as I did in Lance's car. The lights flickered above me crazily, the walls of the room crumbling and I push my weight forward with a loud cry. I started walking, slowly like I was being held back by Luther. I was so tired but I couldn't stop, I would be trapped within the chamber walls and suffocate if I did.

I'm coming Vanya, I'm coming!

I shove myself forward, my lungs trying to get some sort of air around me but they were burning up.

Come on!

I suddenly fall forward, tumbling to the floor in front of Vanya as she struggled to breathe, waves of force pulsing from her and pushing me away. "Vanya!" I gasped in the air to my lungs, my whole body burning again as it vibrated and shook with the waves.

"I can't breathe in here." she looked up at me, sobbing and I crawled towards her. "I can't breathe!"

"I'm here, I'm here Vanya. Don't listen to the voices. I will never be afraid. You're my friend and will always be my friend. I care about you." I gasp out, finally reaching her and she throws herself around me, hugging me tightly.

"I'm so sorry (y/n), please forgive me! I never meant to hurt you!" I rubbed her back as she cried out, wincing as the waves suddenly got stronger.

"I forgive you. I will always forgive you. Just breathe. I know it's terrifying, having this power but I know that you can control it." I look up, trying to find a way out of here but there was nothing. Just the darkness and my own thoughts.

"How do we get out?" Vanya whimpers.

"Embrace your powers but be in control of it. Don't let it control you. Listen carefully. I know you can do it." she quietens down and the air around us whips our hair and clothes around, picking up speed. It circled around us, being sucked in by Vanya before she releases it and the air forces the door open. "Vanya..." I whimper out as my chest tightens, feeling like the air was pulled out of my lungs and my heart ripped out. I couldn't breathe and I gasped out, wheezing as the shock wave managed to do damage to me. Vanya looked at me with wide eyes.

"I'm sorry (y/n)!" She cried out, stumbling back away from me in fear of hurting me more.

"No, Vanya I'm fine-" I suddenly choke and cough up blood, looking down at the splatter on my lap in confusion.

"I hurt you! I hurt you again! I keep hurting you!" She screams out, grasping her head in her hands as she bends over in pain.

"Vanya! Don't listen to the voices!" I garble out, spitting blood out from my mouth. Her body shakes and slowly stills, the air around her whipping around us again.

"I'm sorry (y/n)." Vanya looks up at me with her white eyes.

No, no, no, no, no!

She turns away from me and walks off, regret in her stare as she looked at me one last time. I see my body flickering back to being transparent and I push myself off the floor when I hear the explosions upstairs. I see a flash of blue once I step out of the chamber and I'm suddenly picked up bridal style.

"I need to stop listening to you and leaving you alone!" I see a flash of blue again and Five and I end up in the foyer.

"Put me down." I gasp out and hr glares at me as I coughed out blood.

"I'm not risking you getting hurt anymore!" The living room shakes violently, the walls crumbling down and I see Vanya standing in the middle.

"I need to try and help." I push his chest and he lets me go, setting me down on the floor when he lost his grip on me. I stumble towards the archway, seeing Pogo in the air. "VANYA NO!" I scream out and Five quickly pulls my head to his chest, not letting me see what happens next. I breathe out heavily as he held me tightly, flinching from Pogo's grunts of pain and it sounded so much worse in person, much more visceral and I couldn't help but cry into Five's sweater. He quickly pulls me outside to safety before the mansion crashes down into destruction and rubble. I gasp out in shock, wheezing from the debris and he sets me down carefully on the floor.

"(y/n), breathe." I struggled to get air in my lungs as I cried into my hands, my whole body in shock as I flickered in and out of vision. "(y/n), look at me." I run my fingers through my hair as I hyperventilated but Five holds my hands in his and I look up at him, him wiping the tears from my face before hugging me. I sobbed as I clutched onto the back of his sweater desperately, unsure of how to process anything that just happened. He runs his fingers through my hair to calm me down while the others surrounded us.

"(y/n)..." Diego kneels down next to me and I look at him as he looks directly at me with sad eyes, rubbing my back for the first time ever.

"(y/n), just look at me, please." Five begged, placing his hands on my cheeks and tilting my head up to look at him while his thumbs brushed against my cheeks.

"I-I know this was supposed to happen-it had to happen but-I still could've tried to stop it-help Vanya but failed-I-being here in person, it's too real Five, I'm not meant to be-"

"-I know, I know." he hugged me again and I slowly calmed down, holding onto him tightly.

"Why am I here Five? I'm not supposed to be-I can't be here-it's not right-not right..." he hugged me tighter as I rambled on, finally looking around to acknowledge the disaster around me that was too real and that I was now a part of.

This all was just supposed to be a show.

A show I'm now stuck in.
