CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE:  MORNING AFTER

---

Still a little sore after the round with Five last night, you woke up to the sound of someone knocking on the door. 

You looked to the left side of the bed to see it was empty which mean that Five was gone.

Letting out a sigh you got up before walking over to the door and opened it to see Reginald on the other side.

"Good Morning" he said "What do you want?" you asked "I want to discuss something with you if I may" Reginald said "About what?" you asked "I have a plan in saving all of this" he said "A plan?" you asked and he nodded "What plan?" she asked "There is a chance to stop all of this" he said "What do you mean?" you asked "I'm calling a family meeting and I would appreciate it if you would come hear what I have to say" he said "What's the meeting about?" you asked "I've been thinking of plan to save the world, it's more of a reboot actually" he said.

"Reboot? Like to rest all of this and start fresh?" you asked "Exactly, like that" he said and you looked down "Come, don't you think that you and Five deserve to at least heard what I have to say" he said and you looked back at him "Don't you think your the two of you deserve to have a life together" he said and she tilted her head "Okay, I'm intrigued" you said "Excellent. Meeting in the lobby in 30 minutes. I will tell the others" he said.

Ben was shirtless as he was laying on the pool ball table while Klaus was laying under it, without pants on.

Ben let out a sigh as he began to wake up "God, my head..." he said and Klaus started groggily "Not so loud" he said "Klaus? Klaus? Klaus, where are you?" Ben asked as he was looking around worried "I'm here, I'm here. Don't panic. Nobody should panic" Klaus said and Ben looked at him before he exhales sharply as he got up while Klaus groaned as he got up.

"Do you--" "No. Not a thing" Klaus said, cutting Ben off as he started laughing "Same" Ben said and Klaus chuckled "Yeah, that was some night" he said and they both chuckled.

"Woo" Klaus said "It was. It was" Ben said with a smile "See? I knew you had a little of the ol' Ben in ya. Now you can stop with all the sulking and the brooding" Klaus said "I don't brood" Ben said "Ben-er-ino" Klaus said "Don't call me that" Ben said "We were making so much progress" Klaus said "With what?" Ben asked "With your Mr. Tough Guy routine. Last night! I remember! You opened your kimono to me, remember?" Klaus said as he opened up his shirt "And you showed me who you really are inside. All those bottled-up emotions" he said as he stepped closer to him "I was drunk" Ben said "You're a good person, Ben, but you're trying really, really heard to be a bad one" Klaus said "I hate you" Ben said aggressive "No, you don't" Klaus said "I do. I do. I really do" Ben said "No, no!" Klaus said as Ben turned around and you could see that the world 'ASSHOLE' was written on Ben's back.

"Ah, classic defense mechanism. Pushing away the people who care about you the most. Just like Dad" Klaus said which made Ben stop in his track before he grabbed his other shoe and turned around "You know, it wouldn't hurt to try to get know him just a little bit better. You'd be surprised how much love he has to give. And also, he's got this whole pan to save the universe" Klaus said as Ben put his shoes back on.

"Done! One and done!" Klaus said with a clap and Ben started walking away "Come on! Ben-eri--" Klaus said and Ben give him the finger as he walked away "Kimono open, baby" Klaus said.

Five turned his body a bit causing pots and pans to fall down on the floor making a clanking noise which cause him to wake up with a groan "Why?" he asked before he lifted his head while he shield his face from the buzzing fluorescent light beams over his head. He looked around to see that he was laying on top of some metal shelf in the kitchen.

"What did I get up to last night?" he asked as he try to remember what happen.

He remember he was at the bar, but it was fuzzy. He remember he was singing at the wedding, he remember he was running down the hallway as an maniac, he remember he hold an amazing speech for the bridal couple, he remember telling you in the speech how much he love you.

"Luther. Congrats. It's....It's a goddamn miracle, that's what it is. I mean, did anyone here think that Luther, of all people, would find someone to touch his...? The guy's a monkey virgin from space. It's a...It's a hard to match to make. We're all...We're all thinking about it. It's the elephant in the room, buddy. I wish you well. Happy--It's not your birthday. Happy wedding day, my friend. Take care"  

"Y/n, I love you! And I need to tell you before I lose you. You are the best person to ever walk into my life. I love you and I can't imagine my life without you my Angel, don't ever forget that"

Five remember he was in the bar pouring himself a huge bowl of cereal, he remember that he put alcohol in the bowl instead of milk and he remember he was walking down the hallway with the bowl. He remember you and him having sex for the time.

His vision then changed to him seeing Reginald in the White Buffalo Suite talking to someone.

"There is no time. I can't do this without you. Do we have a deal?" he remember Reginald say.

"Who the hell is he talking to?" Five asked himself before he opened his eyes "What was the old man up to?" he asked.

Then his vision changed to him attacking you with a kiss and his eyes widened "Shit" he said before he got up and blink to your room.

He was scared that he have done something to you.

Viktor opened his eyes and he gasp when he saw Reginald standing by the bed holding a tray with cookies and a glass of water "Bad dream?" he asked "Why are you here?" Viktor asked as he sat up in bed "What does it look like? To feed you child. I'm sure after last night's festivities, a hearty breakfast should bring you a bright start to your day" Reginald said as he put the tray down on the bed.

"It's all such a blur" Viktor said "Ah" Reginald said before he sat down on the bed.

Viktor took the glass of water before he took a sip "Is there anything else?" he asked Reginald "To be honest, I have some concerns" Reginald said "Since when do you care?" Viktor asked "May I remind you, I am not the Hargreeves you grew up with. Yes, we share the same DNA, and impeccable style, and mannerisms, but I can assure you our life circumstances are very different. And being the only sober person at the wedding, I had the unique opportunity to witness your argument with Allison" Reginald said as he took a small piece of a cookie and Viktor looked at him "Such a shame to see a family struggle so" Reginald said before eating the piece.

"Family. What does that even mean?" Viktor asked "Family are the only people who know us whilst we endure our most epic trials. I think that should count for something" Reginald said "Why don't you tell Allison that?" Viktor said before he looked out the window and up on the orange clouds while distant explosions booming was heard.

"Jesus" Viktor said "He's due any minute now" Reginald said and Viktor looked at him "That was a joke" Reginald said and Viktor chuckled softly "You do jokes now" he said "Actually, what I'm here to discuss...is deadly serious" Reginald said.

Luther and Sloane was in a room laying on the floor, making out. "Can I ask you a question?" Sloane asked "Is it a sexy question?" he asked "Oh God, I hope not" she said and they both chuckled "Do you think you're being too hard on Dad?" she asked and Luther grumbled as they sat up.

"Look, Sloane. I had a complicated relationship with Dad, all right? My dad. The one I grew up with. He lied to me. He used me, and...and I let him get away with it" he said "This is a different Hargreeves. You need to give him a chance" she said.

Then they hear footsteps approaching and they looked up to see Allison standing by the door "Sorry, door was open" she said "No, don't worry. Uh, come in" Sloane said "Sorry for the mess" Luther said as the two got up.

"Oh, don't be" Allison said as she stepped into the room "Uh, look, I just wanted to come by and say I'm sorry. Okay?" Allison said and Luther's eyes widened "I've...I've been a really shitty sister lately" she said "You know, if you're handing out apologies, Viktor should be top of the list" Luther said "No, I know. I'm...I'm gonna get to him. I just, um...Working my way up" Allison said and chuckled "Okay. Well, I forgive you" Luther said and Allison smiled "'Kay" she said and she was about leave but stopped "Oh, uh, Dad called a meeting at noon today" she said as she turned around "Are you both gonna come?" she asked "Oh, I see. I see what this is" Luther said "Luther, he has a plan. A plan he thinks can save the universe" Allison said "Really?" Luther said "So please, come. Both of you" Allison said "No" Luther said "We'll be there" Sloane said and Luther looked at her "Great! Okay" Allison said before leaving.

"You know, I, um, really wish you wouldn't have done that" Luther said "How does it hurt to hear what he has to say?" Sloane asked "Ah, don't underestimate the damage that man can do at a family meeting" Luther said "That is not the same man. And you aren't the same boy you were. You're my husband. And whatever you decide, I'll be by your side" Sloane said as she wrapped her arms around his neck "Okay" he said "Okay" she said.

Five had being drinking a bottle of alcohol as he was having trouble remembering what had happen last night.

But since he couldn't, he decided to leave it for now and decided to do something else.

So he put the last thing on place outside just by the edge of the world with the Kugleblitz slowly pulling what was left of the world in.

"Okay, let's see" he said as he looked at the things he has sat up "Let's look good. I hope she will love it" he said before he turned around and walked into the hotel.

As he walked in, he saw you walking down the stairs holding his blazer "Hey" you both said to each other "I have being looking for you" you said as you approached each other "I have your blazer" you said as you handed Five his blazer "Thanks" he said as he put it on.

"Are you okay?" he asked and you nodded.

"Where have you being? I have being looking for you" you said "Just making some things ready" he said "For what?" you asked "Come with me" he said "Where are we going?" you asked "Close your eyes" he said "Why?" you asked "Do you trust me?" he asked and you nodded.

"Good" he said as he pulled up a small rag before he went behind you "What are you doing?" you asked "It's a surprise" he said as he put the rag in front of your eyes before he tight it.

"Okay" he said before he grabbed your hand "Do you trust me?" he asked and you nodded "With my life" you said "Good" he said before blinking away.
