CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN: SOME ALONE TIME

"We're all travelling through time together every day of our lives, all we can do, is do our best to relish this remarkable ride"

---

YOUR POV.

I had insisted in driving so there would be no more arguing since both Five and Klaus didn't want to argue with me since they knew about my temper.

I stopped the car to the place where Klaus knew his mother was.

The three of us got out at the car as we saw some Amish people run passed the car.

"Son of a bitch! Klaus is Amish!" Five said while he hold his hat in his right hand as he shut the passenger door with his left hand while I shut my door.

"This explains everything" Klaus said as he walked around the car while we heard cows mooing.

"How?" I asked "How does this explain anything?" Five asked.

"Because look! Look at this place!" Klaus said as he walked up ahead of Five and I while Five put his hat back on.

"This is everything my childhood was missing" Klaus said as he started walking forward.

"Hey, uh, Klaus?" Five called out as he chased after him "Yeah" Klaus said as he stopped "Wait up a minute" I said as we ran up to him.

"Doppelgänger check" I said "You feel anything strange?" Five asked as he grabbed his hand "Uh, itching, sweats, gas, anything like that?" he asked and Klaus shook his head "No. No, I feel great" he said and Five let go of his hand "Apart from the old rash on the tackle, but what can you do?" Klaus said before he walked passed Five and I, expecting us to follow him.

"All right, good luck" Five said and Klaus stopped in his tracks before he turned around to look at the two of you "What? Wait, you're not coming?" he asked and you shook your heads "This one you gotta do alone" Five said as he looked at him.

"Alone?" Klaus said in tone like he was not happy about that "Yeah, okay. Yeah, I can do that, sure" he said before he turned around and walked away.

Then suddenly another drop of blood fell from my nose but I wipe it away since I believe that it was the effect after the fight.

I pulled the small container with pills out of my inner pocket before taking one out and put the container back in.

I put the pill in my mouth before I swallow it.

I then went from behind Five before I wrapped my arms around his torso "I want a baby" I said with a smile "Love, we have being over this. I need to face the other way" he said with a smile and I let out a laugh while he turned around.  

"Let's find somewhere else where we can wait on Klaus. A more quite place" he said "Okay. But I'm driving" I said as I took his hat off his head before putting it on my head which cause Five to smile

"I know a quiet place where we can wait on Klaus" I said "Lead the way Mrs. Hargreeves" Five said with a smile as the two of us got into car.

---

I stopped the car next to a large field filled with cows. Five turned the radio up and he took off his vest before he stepped out of the car while I took off his hat "That hat suit you" he said "I know" I said as I put the hat on the seat before getting out while Five put some glasses on.

"Hey, let's put our playlist on" he said "Good idea" I said as I took the tape out of my walkman before putting it in the car and it started playing from song one.

Five sat down on the driver seat before he pulled out the map over Pennsylvania as he rested his feet up while I was sitting in the backseat.

"You okay?" Five asked as he heard a sigh "It's just, I can't wait anymore seeing my family again. The only things that is holding me from approaching them is how to. But I think I just have to come up to them" I said "Don't worry, Love. I promise as soon as we are done here. We gonna meet your family" he said "Why not do it now?" I asked "'Cause I want some alone time with you" he said "You had have alone time with me for 46 years" you said "Where some of them we hated each other or didn't had time to have some alone time since we were busy in trying to survive" he said as he turned his head towards me a little bit.

My mother said I'm too romantic
She said, "You're dancing in the movies"
I almost started to believe her
Then I saw you and I knew

"Let's just have some alone time today and the first thing tomorrow we are going to your parents. What do you say about that?" he asked "You promise. Tomorrow" I said "I promise. Tomorrow" he said "I can wait to tomorrow" I said "Good cause I know a place where we can have a date" he said as he took a quick look at the map "The Monterey Bay Fish Grotto restaurant. We are gonna have dinner there, just the two of us" he said "Looking forwards to" I said and he smiled.

"There is also a museum along the way. I thought we could visit it. Like we used to in the apocalypse" he said "I would love that" I said and he smiled.

Maybe it's 'cause I got a little bit older
Maybe it's all that I've been through
I'd like to think it's how you lean on my shoulder
And how I see myself with you

I then grabbed his glasses before I put them on "How do I look?" I asked "You look so smart and hot" he said and I smiled "Not as hot as you" I said.

I don't say a word
But still, you take my breath and steal the things I know
There you go, saving me from out of the cold

"Where to Mrs.?" he asked with a laugh as he grabbed the wheel with both hands and I chuckled before I leaned forwards so my mouth was by his right ear.

Fire on fire would normally kill us
But this much desire, together, we're winners
They say that we're out of control and some say we're sinners
But don't let them ruin our beautiful rhythms

"To the stars" I whispered before I grabbed his shoulders and pulled him into the backseat.

'Cause when you unfold me and tell me you love me
And look in my eyes
You are perfection, my only direction
It's fire on fire, mmm
It's fire on fire

The two of us looked at each other as we were sitting in the back seat "I'm glad that the apocalypse happened, otherwise I would never have knew you and I don't know about you, but I can't imagine living in a world or in any timeline without knowing you, I don't think I can't even live in a world without you" I said "I feel the same way, I don't think I would be able to live without you, no matter what world or timeline I am in" he said before he put his hands on my cheeks.

When we fight, we fight like lions
But then we love and feel the truth
We lose our minds in a city of roses
We won't abide by any rules

"But even if the apocalypse hasn't happen. I still think that we would have met, just when we were older" he said "And why do you think that?" I asked "Because we are made for each other, because our souls are the same" he said and I smiled "Cause we are each other's half" I said and he nodded.

I don't say a word
But still, you take my breath and steal the things I know
There you go, saving me from out of the cold

"I know for a fact we are meant for each other. Seeing you smile literally changes my whole day. Just know I will never let go of you and my feelings for you will never disappear. I promise. I will love you, forever and a day" he said "I will love you forever and a day, too" I said as we stared into each other's eyes.

Fire on fire would normally kill us
But this much desire, together, we're winners
They say that we're out of control and some say we're sinners
But don't let them ruin our beautiful rhythms

The two of us kept each other going in the apocalypse. We fought every single second in the godforsaken and terrible apocalypse, and we kept fighting after that, also when we came to The Commission, we fought for each other, we were each other's reason we kept fighting, kept getting up.

Five have saved me. He have kept me alive. 

'Cause when you unfold me and tell me you love me
And look in my eyes
You are perfection, my only direction
It's fire on fire, oh
It's fire on fire

"You are my strength, my motivation, my future, my everything, my world, the medicine that my heart need, my other half, my one and only" I said "You are my hope, my light, my other half, my future, my home, my one and only and my everything" he said and stroke his thumb down my left cheek "To be honest, I consider myself to be the luckiest person alive, having you by my side. Moving through life with you has been the greatest gift ever given to me, and I don't know what I ever did to deserve someone as incredible as you" he said and I smiled.

Fire on fire would normally kill us
But this much desire, together, we're winners
They say that we're out of control and some say we're sinners
But don't let them ruin our beautiful rhythms

I was happy. We have stopped the apocalypse, and even so there has being a few changing, another end of world was not going to happen. All I had to do is seeing my family again and then Five and I could live that life we always talked about living when we were in the apocalypse.

Fire on fire would normally kill us
But this much desire, together, we're winners
They say that we're out of control and some say we're sinners
But don't let them ruin our beautiful rhythms

FIVE'S POV.

I was more than happy, the apocalypse was over, I couldn't sense any danger coming our way. Which mean that I could retire, and live a wonderful, long, peaceful, and beautiful life with the love of my life, my wife Y/n Russell-Hargreeves.

We then both looked at the map, looking for places we both wanted to see.

'Cause when you unfold me and tell me you love me
And look in my eyes
You are perfection, my only direction
It's fire on fire

"Okay, you look so hot in those glasses. So when we get back to our room. I'm gonna take everything off except those glasses" I said "Why wait?" she asked and I smiled as put my arms around her while I pulled her closer.

You are perfection, my only direction
It's fire on fire

Then we brought our lips together, and as we kept kissing, I lower her down, so I was on top of her.

You are perfection, my only direction
It's fire on fire

---

The car was still holding in the middle of the field with cows as steam had appeared on the car's windows.

A hand got pressed against the window before it slid down again.

Y/n's and mine clothes have being thrown to the front seat as we were both laying naked in the car's backseat with me laying on top of Y/n.

"Woah" I said as I pulled out of Y/n and away before looking at her, we were both sweating, panting and breathing heavily while we were both trying to catch our breaths.

All the doors in the car was closed so the windows were covered in steam.

"I love you Y/n Russell-Hargreeves, more than anything and more than you know" I said "I love you too Five Hargreeves, also more than anything and more than you know" she said and we smiled to each other before I leaned forward, kissing her.

We pulled away and I lay my head on her chest.

She storked me down my head before I looked at her and we both smiled before kissing and she let out a moan as I pull in again while kissing her neck.

"The front seat now" I smirked before blinking us both to the front seat, me still on top of her.

THIRD PERSON'S POV.

Luther had a sparrow jacket on as him and Sloane was in the gym running next to each other on a treadmill each.

"This place is incredible!" he said with a smile "We had the old lounge taken out and had this put in" Sloane said as she smiled "You know, I thought the home theater and the Zen garden were impressive, but this is just next-level" he said before they both turned off the treadmills.

"You know, I always wanted the Umbrella Academy to be like this" he said as he walk off the treadmill "You guys actually do stuff together!" he said "You don't?" she asked as they both walked over to a small table where some water, glasses and white rags were.

"Uh...Nah, no really" he said as they both took a glass before they filled it with water.

"So, our brother died when we were kids. Number Six. Our Ben" he said "Oh, I'm so sorry" she said as she was holding her glass while looking at him.

"Yeah, and after that, nobody really gave a shit. Everyone had their own agenda, and it's like pulling teeth to get anybody to actually care" he said as they walked over to the large white table.

"And then, I guess after a while, I stopped caring myself" he said as they sat down on the same side in front of each other and Sloane took a sip of her water.

"You know, about training, the missions..." he said and she nodded as she put down her glass on the table "About...being Number One" he said before he scoffs "You're not what I was expecting" she said with a smile "I'm not?" he asked confused "No" she said with a smile as she shook her head "You're actually really sweet" she said and Luther let out a soft exhale before a smile appeared on his face.

Sloane looked up at the camera to see it moved to the right, filming the other side of the gym, so she leaned forward towards Luther a bit "If I could, I'd get out of here in a heartbeat" she said and he leaned towards her too "Why can't you?" he asked.

"This house, it's all I've ever know my entire life. And I know there are better places out there in the world, and one day, I want to see them all" she said with a smile "Then why don't you just go?" he asked "Why don't you?" she asked "Fair point" he said with a nod.

"You know, I, uh...I spent a little time on the moon" he said with a shy smile, like he was nervous of what she would say.

"What? This is so cool!" she said with a smile and in voice like she actually think it was cool causing Luther's eyes to widened "You think so?" he asked "Yeah! The moon?" she said "My God. No one ever thinks that's cool" he said "Yes!" she said as they both let out a laugh.

"The moon, yeah!" he said with a big smile on his face. Sloane was the first one he have ever met who actually think that it was cool.

Sloane then noticed the camera turning back to film them, so her face quickly changed into a seriously look.

"So, tell me a little bit more about that family of yours before they decide to come and rescue you. Where are you guys staying anyway?" she asked "Oh, just some dumpy hotel downtown. Uh, the Hotel--" he said but stopped himself.

"You're trying to honey trap me" he said "No, no, no" she said, shaking her head "No, of course. Luther, you're so stupid! Oh, wow! You really think the moon is cool" he said "Luther, I wasn't--" "Duh!" he said, cutting her off "I'm such--"

But then they heard a crow caws before flying into the gym and Luther turned around to see Fei behind him "Ben would like a word. Go get cleaned up" she said.

Luther let out a sigh before he got up "Luther, I wasn't trying--" "Sloane" Fei said, cutting her off and she looked at her as Luther walked past Fei.

Sloane let out a sigh before she got up and walked over to the huge windows.

FIVE'S POV.

After two rounds in the car, Y/n and I took our clothes back on.

I put my glasses back on before I got into the front seat and sat down. 

I rested my feet up as I continued looking at the map while Y/n was standing outside looking up at the sky before she smiled as she looked at cows.

"Five?" she asked "Yeah" I said "What do you want to do now. We have so much time now. Our bodies are reset so we have another, what? Fifty plus years more together? Come to think of it, if we do end up living another fifty or so years, then we have being married for over eighty years. What do you want to do with that time?" she asked.

I actually started thinking about that. I never actually thought about it like that. Y/n and I had years that so many would love to relive. And now we both could, of course the world only saw two teenagers who are madly in love and technically Y/n and me would need new identities and such. We both had a fresh start.

But I could only think of one thing. Cure her heart.

"Cure your heart" I said "Other than that?" she asked "Have kids with you" I said "We are already working on that" she said.

"What do you want to do?" I asked "I don't know" she said "You know maybe we could move to a farm" I suggested "Me living on a farm?" she asked as she turned her head to look at me "I can't see myself living on a farm" she said "Then where? Want to do you want?" I asked.

"I want a big white house with blue shutters and room overlooking in the sea, so I can paint" she said "Anything else?" I asked "Yeah. I want it to be on a hill where you could see the sea. I want a designer kitchen and a basement. I want a big old porch that can rap the entire house" she said "Aww" I said "We can drink tea or coffee and watch the sun go down" she said "Okay. I love that. I will make sure that happens" I said "You promise?" she asked "Mm-hmm. I promise" I said "Well I never got to travel also, so would you like to do that with me?" she asked "Always. Anything with you, I'll do. We can finally have a life together. A second lifetime" I said "I'd like that" she said with a nod.

"I wouldn't mind that it lay at the countryside or near the ocean" she said "I know how much you love the ocean, and the countryside" I said.

I knew that Y/n have always loved the countryside, it's a memory that she didn't share with anyone, but I knew how much she loved it which was why I was actually thinking about buying a house for her and me that was laying at the countryside and with the view over the ocean. 

I was planning on buying her a house like that, lying on a hill where you could see the sea, I knew how much Y/n loved that. And I was gonna give her that dream house, even if I have to build it myself.

YOUR POV

"Five" I said again "Yeah, Love" he said "I know that you know that another me exist out there, just like I know that another you do" I said and he nodded "I don't know how you'll see me, other me, when you do" I said "I'm not going to change my mind on you form another version of living a different life. I know that both of us changed the course of our lives there. I'm married to you. No one else, not even Y/n 2.3 or whatever she is" he said and I chuckled "You are my only Y/n" he said and I smiled "And you are my only Five" I said and he smiled.

"I just can't help but feel like I'll be judged because of the life choices she made" I said "You won't" he said when he said that it was finale. I wouldn't be judged. Not by him. Not by his siblings. Not by myself. He'd make sure of it.

I had lost so much in my life. I'd make sure I'd never lose Five again.

"Do you think you would have looked at me in the other timeline?" he asked "100%. 'Cause I think a part of me always had a thing for you, I mean that hair, the eyes, that voice, smile, laugh. I would definitely have found you attached. Your personality is what really caught my attention as long as you weren't mean sarcastic with me. Even then I was too sensitive for that" I said and he smiled.

"Would you have look for me?" I asked "Of course. We are tied together, my heart is being pulled towards you, my heart is not whole without you. No matter what timeline or universe we're in. I would always look for you. Never doubt that" he said and we both smiled as we looked at each other.

FIVE'S POV.

When I first began having feeling for Y/n, I felt angry at myself and like I could never truly love her. I didn't deserve it or did I ever believe that I could have it. Now, as an almost 60 year old man, I couldn't imagine not having Y/n in my life. And when I didn't, it was hell on earth. But now I did and I couldn't help but smile. Y/n and me was finally together again and I would made sure we stayed that way.

YOUR POV

"You wanna tell me what's going on in that beautiful brain of yours?" he asked as he could see that I was thinking about something.

"I'm actually scared that more things have changed and something have happen to my family. So maybe it would be a good idea to go back to the other timeline" I said as I turned my whole body around so I was facing him "I don't want to keep messing with time, Y/n/n. This is the first time something hasn't gone wrong" he said "What if my family is dead in this timeline or they don't remember me, or they reject me, or there is another version of me out there. Or what if--" "Hey" he said cutting me off as he grabbed my hands "You are stressing yourself. Remember our heart can't handle all the stress. Beside I don't think your family has changed because of that" he said "How do you know that?" I asked as I removed my hands from his.

"I just have a feeling telling me that something has done wrong and I'm scared to see it for myself" I said "Do you want me to go see instead of you?" he asked and I shook my head "No" I said "Then what can I do?" he asked "Listen" I replied and he nodded before he turned in his seat so his whole body was facing me.

"Allison's daughter doesn't exist and I'm scared out of my mind that something has happen to my family. So if Viktor has a deal with Marcus, then we should be ready to take it and try to get back home" I said.

"If we do that again, then what?" he asked "Then I'm sure that nothing has gone wrong with my family and I can see them again. And Allison can see her daughter" I said.

I wanted Allison to see her daughter cause I know the feeling about losing a child.

If I had the chance to see Milo and Adam again, I would take it.

"You know that is not that easy, Love" he said "I know, but is it easier staying here where there are probably each version of us walking around, mine is either still in a coma or has waking up and is living that life that I was supposed to live. And now when I'm thinking more about it. I think is best we go back to that timeline we belong in" I said "We do belong here" he said "No, we don't" I said as I shook my head lightly.

"Y/n/n, we have risked everything to get here" he said "And this chance aren't worth risking it again?" I asked "Love" he said as he looked at me "If there is another version of me out here in this timeline which there might be, then I can't get near her or my family and then I have no one again" I said "You have me and my family" he said as he grabbed my hands "I love you Five, so much, and I love your family, but a part of me is saying that is not enough" I said and he took a deep breath.

FIVE'S POV.

My heart dropped and I almost wished it hadn't. I was being selfish. I knew what Y/n was saying. I understood it was coming out of her noble and kind heart. But I couldn't help but wonder if the two of us even had met in the original timeline. I was actually scared if we went back and fix what we broke, I was scared that it would end with Y/n disappearing and wouldn't know who I am when I find her cause we have never met and I was not gonna risk that.

YOUR POV 

"I just want my old life back" I said "You can get it here" he said "Not if there is another version of me here" I said "Love, listen to me" he said and I looked at him "I watched you die, twice. I'm not going to watch you die again" he said as he stroke his thumb over my knuckles.

"I watch you die in the barn and I watch you die in the apocalypse when I first arrived in Dallas. You're my everything and I'm not ready to lose you again if something went wrong. I'm sorry" he said and I looked at him.

Maybe he was right, maybe it's best that we stay here.

"Five, you can never thought for a second that I would have my old life back if it meant you were gone. Don't you ever doubt that I wouldn't trade everything in the world to have you" she said "I can't risk that. I lose you one time. I will not do it a second time" I said.

"I understand. I just really hope that nothing has gone wrong in my family and that there is not another version of me out there" I said "So you are not angry at me?" he asked "No. I understand" I said before I put my left hand on his right cheek "If there is one thing that is sure and that is that you are not gonna lose me. You and me, today, tomorrow, forever and a day" I said "You and me, today, tomorrow, forever and a day" he repeated.

I leaned into Five, his arms wrapped around my waist. Five began to hum out loud as I hummed along to one of our songs.

I then pull away before I gave him a kiss, turned around and walked out of the field.

FIVE'S POV.

I smiled before I turned in my seat, grabbed the map and put my legs up before I started singing to the music.

I then glanced at Y/n who was standing out on the field and I couldn't help but smile at her.

Then the sound of energy pulsing and distressed mooing was heard before I suddenly felt a shockwave of energy surging all around and it was like an energy wave hit the car making it shake a bit causing me to jolted a bit to the side.

"What is...?" I asked as I looked out of the field to see Y/n standing frozen as she was looking out on the field where the cows that was there before was gone.

Please, don't let anything happen to her.

I blinked over to Y/n before I placed a hand on her shoulder, afraid that something had happen to her.

YOUR POV.

When I felt a hand on my shoulder I quickly jump a bit before I turned around, putting myself in a fighting position.

Five's eyes found yours, watching your expression soften almost instantly as you saw your husband in front of you.

"Easy, it's just me. Your husband Five Hargreeves" he said and I took a deep breath "I'm sorry" I said "Don't be, you don't need to apologies, I was the one that scared you. I forgot that I shouldn't spook you, but I was so worried that something have happen to you so I forgot" he said before he scanned me up and down.

"You okay?" he asked "I don't know. It was like a shock wave hit me and I saw all the crow suddenly disappear. Where did they go?" I asked "I have no idea" he answered before he looked out on the field again "Oh, we can't get one fucking day off?" he said "Nope. We apparently can't" I said "Well time to figure out about this" Five said "Great, more equations" I said sarcastically.

---

Both Five and I had writing down equations all over the car's windows, except for the driver's window as we were trying to figure out what the hell was wrong.

We tried to understand what could have gone wrong. Everything was fine, everything was okay or at least we thought so until now.

Both of us were so focus on the equations, so focus in what could have gone wrong that neither of us thought to confront the other. Five's dream of a normal none-apocalypse life with me was crush and my dream of love and happiness was crush too.

Then suddenly we heard Klaus shouting "FIVE! Y/N!" he shouted and I looked towards the voice to see Klaus come running up a small hill out on the field.

"Start the car, would ya?" Klaus asked he was being chase by a herd of Amish people while they were clamoring.

Shit.

While running Klaus turned his head to look behind him to see the Amish chasing him "Oh my...Shit, shit, shit! Y/n! Five" Klaus shouted as he kept running "Oh, fuck" I said.

What have he done now?

"Start the car!" Klaus shouted as he was waving with his arms "Fivey, start the car, our Captain Jack Sparrow has pissed off Amish people this time" I said and Five turned around to see Klaus being chase.

"Five, start the car. Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!" Klaus shouted as I got into the backseat.

"Why can't you jut get alone with people" Five said as he ran over to the other side of the car to take the wheel "I tried. Really, I did. I tried" Klaus said while Five opened the driver's door.

THIRD PERSON'S POV.

Klaus was about to open the door when he saw a woman came running towards him from another side with a book in his hand.

"Hold on a second" Klaus said as he looked at the woman which was his mother's sister.

"Take this" she said and handed him a book "What is it?" he asked "Rachel's death was unusual, and she wasn't the only one" she said.

"Come on! Get in the car, Klaus!" Five shouted as you saw the men got closer to them "KLAUS" Y/n shouted.

"You have her eyes" the woman said as she looked at Klaus' eyes "Klaus, come on" Five shouted as he got into the driver seat before closing the door and the sound of a car engine starting was heard.

"English, go!" she said "Klaus, it's now or never!" Y/n shouted and Klaus turned around before he got into the car and Five drove away.

FIVE'S POV.

"What the hell did you do to them?" Y/n asked "Nothing. I swear" Klaus said before he opened the book the woman had giving him and he started scanning over each page before stopping on a page that had a newspaper article of a woman's death.

He kept flipping over onto the next page until he saw his mother and he read her article about her death.

"This whole timeline's chock-full of riddles. Get this. My mom died here before I was even born" Klaus said and I hit the breaks hard causing them to make a screeching sound and the three of us to jolted forward as the car stopped.

Y/n and I then looked at him "What did you just say?" we asked "Yeah" Klaus said before showing the book to me.

"Let me see this" I said as I took the book from him before I flipped through the pages "This isn't just your mother, is mine too and the others'" I said as I skimmed the articles "And they all died before we were even born" I said "Fuck" Y/n said as she ran her fingers through her hair

"Mothers died before you guys were born, different timeline, missing animals. Shockwaves, disappearing of animals" she said and the two of us  thought for a bit until our eyes widened "Oh my god" we both said "The Grandfather paradox" Y/n said "We created the Grandfather paradox" I said "Great" Y/n said sarcastically before she leaned back.

"So we have created the grandfather paradox?" Y/n asked "Yeah" I said.

 "What is the Grandfather paradox?" Klaus asked "Well, we're living in one now" Y/n replied before I turned to the next page and my eyes widened when I saw another newspaper article about three people sudden death.

That's not good.

"Shit" I mumbled "What is it?" Y/n asked "Nothing" I lied "Let's just get back" I said before I gave the book back to Klaus and continue driving.

---

THIRD PERSON'S POV.

Ben, Sloane, Fei, Chris, Alphonso and Jayme were all in the living room.

"You were basically screaming for help" Jayme teased Alphonso.

Her and Alphonso had walked into Diego and his son at a store.

"I wasn't screaming. I was kicking his ass" Alphonso said.

Sloane was sitting on the couch, looking down sad and she looked up as she saw Luther entering the room.

"You couldn't breathe, but..." Jayme said.

"Doesn't look like your family is coming anytime soon" Fei said "Oh, no, I'm sure they're just, you know, working out the final details and...such" Luther said and Ben got up from his seat.

Luther got nervous as Ben walked closer to him "Relax. You're free to go" Ben said to him with smile and Luther looked confused at him "Why?" he asked "Gesture of goodwill. But I want you to pass along very important message to your family" Ben said "Yeah, of course" Luther said with a nod and Ben took a step closer to him which got Luther to widened his eyes in fear.

"Let Marcus go. And if any of you hurt one hair on him, we'll come for you. All of you. And I promise we won't be so hospitable next time" Ben said "Super don't like being threatened, Ben" Luther said.

Fei stood up from her seat before she walked over to stand next to Ben "You'll do as we say or else..." she said before a flock of cows flew out of her back with a screech "Birds. In my brain. Got it" Luther said.

"Don't forget your tote bag" Ben said before he snapped his fingers to signal Alphonso to get Luther the bag.

Everyone except for Sloane got up and walked to Luther as Alphonso gave him the bag "Hope you enjoyed your stay" Ben said and Luther turned around.

Sloane watch Luther leaves with a sad look on her face.

Jazz piano was playing in the background as Diego, Allison and Viktor was sitting on the couch at the hotel.

"I mean, who does that? Who does it?" Diego asked "What are you mumbling about?" Allison asked "Lila. Dumping Stan on me after all these years? I mean, that's not right" Diego said and Viktor chuckled "Hey, man. If you did the deed, don't blame her for the consequences" he said "That's not the point" Diego said "Oh, what's the point?" Viktor asked "He's cramping my style. I need to be able to react to danger on a moment's notice. How am I to do that when I'm playing wet nurse to a 12-year-old?" Diego asked "You're his dad!" Viktor said as he leaned forward while looking at him "Alleged dad" Diego said "Well, at least you have a kid" Allison said before getting up "Can I get another one?" she asked as she walked over to the bar.

FIVE'S POV

"I can't believe that we don't get one day break" Y/n said as I was holding the book with one hand while holding Y/n's hand with the other as we entered the hotel with Klaus following behind us.

"Chaos must really love us" I annoyed "Fuck chaos, I'm gonna beat it to death" she said as we were walking fast over to the bar where the others were.

Y/n squeezed my hand and I squeezed it back. I knew exactly how she felt because I was feeling it as well. The feeling of our every wish, hope and light we both thought we wanted in world, suck out of us.

YOUR POV

"Okay, gather round, people" Five announced as he approached the bar "Where is--Where's every--Where's Luther?" he asked as he looked around "Haven't seen him" Allison said in a voice like she was not interesting "Who knows?" Diego said "Anybody know where--Okay you know what? We got bigger problems to worry about right now" Five said as he opened the book and put it on the counter by the bar as you all gather around, "Like what?" Allison asked in a tone like she was not interested at all.

"This" Five said as he pointed on a page in the book which caught Allison's attention and the siblings surrounded the counter as they all saw a bunch of newspaper article with picture of adult women and the article was about their sudden death.

"Who are they?" Viktor asked "These are our mothers" Five said before he turned the page and Klaus pointed to a picture of his mother "That one's mine" he said as he pointed on an Amish woman.

I saw that next to the article about Klaus' mom was there a picture of a woman name Efa that was from Dublin Ireland who was a butcher. I quickly realized that the woman was Five's mother. I could see on how the woman looked and how she was described. I also knew it was Five's mother since she held his same eye shape and hair color.

"Apples don't fall from the tree" I whispered with a smile.

"They're all dead. They all died on the exact same day, October 1st, 1989" Five said "That's our birthday" Viktor said "Not anymore, it isn't. They all died before we were born" Five said "That's dumb. If we weren't born, how can we exist?" Diego asked and looked at Five who crossed his arms "Exactly" he said.

"What are you saying?" Viktor asked "I'm saying, when we jumped here, we created a time paradox. All right? Not just any paradox" Five started "This is the grandfather paradox" I finished "What the hell is the grandfather paradox?" Klaus asked and and Five and I let out a sigh "It's probably one of the most deadly and complex paradoxes there is" I said and the siblings except Five looked at me confused "Let's go a place more private before we tell you guys more" I said.

THIRD PERSON'S POV.

Distant police siren wailing as Luther walked out of the Academy.

"Psst" a voice said causing Luther to stop "Luther! Hey!" someone whispered and Luther looked to the right to see Sloane up in her room by the window at the end of the alleyway.

Think about it, there must be a higher love

Then a white ball appeared on Sloane's palm and with her powers she lifted Luther up in the air.

Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above

"Whoa! What the..." Luther said as he floated closer to Sloane.

Without it, life is wasted time
Look inside your heart, and I'll look inside mine

Luther had a confused look on his face as Sloane floated him closer to her.

Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk the line and try to see
Falling behind in what could be, oh

Sloane put Luther right by her window and he looked at her as she smiled.

Bring me a higher love

"Hey" Luther said as he began crawling through the window.

Bring me a higher love, oh

"Shit" Luther said as he had trouble getting through the window "Oh..." Sloane said "Okay, now what?" Luther asked "Here. Yes" Sloane said as she helps him in causing the window to make a creaking noise.

Bring me a higher love

"Just need to..." Luther said with a grunt "Just..." Sloane said as Luther finally got through "Yeah. Okay" she said.

Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

"Uh, I'm gonna take this from you" Sloane said as she took the bag from Luther before putting it on the floor and closed the curtains.

Sloane then turned around to look at Luther "We have to be quiet" she said and Luther let out a sigh "What the hell do you want from me?" he asked.

Worlds are turning, and we're just hanging on

"I wanted to apologize for earlier" she said "Is this another one of your games?" he asked "No, you don't understand" she said.

Facing our fear, and standing out there alone

"We were being watched" she said "What? By who?" he asked "My family. They're crazy" she said.

A yearning, yeah, and it's real to me
There must be someone who's feeling for me

"But I want to let you know, I meant every world I said" she said "Even about the moon?" he asked "Especially about the moon" she said causing Luther to smile.

Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair

"Well, um...Is anyone watching us now?" he asked and she shook her head "No. But I mean, we should be--" but she was cut off when Luther press his lips against hers.

We walk the line and try to see
Falling behind in what could be, oh

Luther and Sloane pulled away before she smiled and kissed him again.

Bring me higher love

With her powers, Sloane and Luther floated a little bit up in the air.

Bring me higher love

While floating up in the air Luther put his hands on her wrist while she wrapped her arms around his neck as their lips were connected.

Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

"Everyone has some memories they're prouder of than others. And maybe that's why changes is so scary cause the things we wish we could leave behind, the whispers we wish we could silence, the nightmare we most wanted to wake up from, the memories we wish we could chances, the secrets we feel like we have to keep are the hardest to walk away from. The good stuff, the picture in our mind that fade away the fastest. Those pieces of you it feels like the easiest to lose"
