CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE: THE SUBWAY

---

You and Five decided to take a break from looking for Jennifer and have some time together.

Now the two of you were standing by a booth that was about hitting some ballons with a small arrow, they both competed to see who can hit the most.

The woman behind the booth gave the couple a stuff animal each "Now the twins is covered" Five said as they grab the stuff animal and you put it in your bag.

"Do you have any plans what to tell them when they ask where we got those stuff animals, because I think they will be upset and start crying if they knew where we were" you said "It's souvenirs" Five smiled before you both looked over to see Diego and Lila.

"You know maybe we should sent them to couples therapy. They were such a great couple. It feels so sudden that they looked like they had fallen out of love" you said "Well, marriage sometimes does that to people. They've be been distant for quite some time now, and we're somehow used to it" he said "I'm glad we're not like that" you said "Yeah" Five nodded before he grab his wife's hand "Now it's time for the guy to get something for his lady" he said before dragging you over to another booth.

"Five, you don't have to win me anything" you said as you stop by a booth that was a shooting game, and it was about to shoot some small animals figure that was moving to the side and you had to shoot them with the rifle.

"Of course I do" Five grab the rifle and the guy behind the booth push a button and the figures started moving back and forth.

Because of Five's old job, he hit all the targets.

"Amazing sir, since you had hit all the target without missing one shot, you have won a special price" the guy lifted up a trace where three small but beautiful prices was laying.

Five then spotted some small shining angel wins "That one" he pointed and the guy gave him the wings.

Five then turned before he lifted up your left arm where the bracelet he gave you was.

He then lock the angel wings on the bracelet "For my angel" he smiled and you watch him lock the wings with your bracelet.

You then looked up at him "What did I do to deserve someone as amazing as you?" he stroke his thumb down your cheek "You have always deserve it" you said "I love you, forever and a day, and no matter what I will never leave you" he said "I love you forever and a day too, and I will never leave you, no matter what" you smiled to each other before pressing your lips against his.

Five pressed his lips against yours as he stroke his arms down your shoulder before wrapping his arms around yours while you  both sunk deeper into the kiss.

---

After you and Five have spend some lovely couple moment, you went to the restroom while Five was trying to get himself to blink.

"Blink. Just...blink" Five jolted his body forward like he always do before he blinks, but nothing happen.

Five clap his hands together before rubbing them together as he got ready again.

He shook his hands before clenching his fist, tryin to blink again but nothing happen.

"What are you doing?" a voice asked and Five turned to see you looking at him.

"You know, just trying to stay limber. Not given myself deep vein thrombosis" he moved his right leg behind him before bending it as he put his right hand on the leg and you chuckled as you approached him.

"Mmm. At your age, you gotta look out for that" you said and he chuckled. 

"I'm trying to blink" he said "I thought you could control your blink" you said "I thought that too, but it seems like I can't" he said "Well, I'm sure you will get the hang of it like last time" you said "Yeah, I hope" he nodded.

"We got togther without me needing to do so, because you know how much you mean to me. I'd never thought I'd ever care about this type of relationship, but it turns out I do because of you. so if you really want me to say it. I love you. And only you. And for the rest of my days, you, Y/n Russell, my wife of so many years and counting I adore you" he said before he grab his wife's hand "Promise me that we will never be like that" he said "I promise" you said.

Then suddenly you noticed how a man that was staring at you "What?" Five asked "Something's off about those people" you said "Alright" Five looked at the guy as he walked past you.

"You are going crazy" Five turned to look at you with a smile "I'm not" you said "Then paranoid" he said "I'm not, and don't call me crazy" you pointed your finger at him and he smiled.

"I can call you whatever I want Darling" he smirked "Call me Darling again and I will kick your ass" you said "You can't kick my ass" he said "Remember I'm a better fighter than you" you said "Really?" he smirked.  

Then you threw a fist at him but he grab your fist "Nice try Darling" he smiled "Let's see how much you have forgotten" you threw another fist at him but he grab it with his other hand before turning you around and pressed your back against his chest and he was holding your hands.

"What are you going to do now?" you turned your head so your and his face was inches away.

"You know that I can get out right" you said "I would like to try" he smirked before kissing you.

"If you two are going to keep being lovely, I'm going to throw up" Lila said as she approached you and Five.

"What do you want, Lila?" he asked her "I just wanted to say thank you" she said "For what?" he asked "For not outing me in front of my idiot husband the other night" she said "Oh. Well, standard operating procedure" he said and she nodded.

"Diego is not an idiot. He figured out that you were lying about book club, so you gotta give him some points there" you said "I hate when you're right Y/n" she said "And I'm not one of those people who like to meddle with anyone's marriage issues. You two birdbrains have to talk to each other" Five said "I'm working on it. And I'm not good at handling, well, emotions of my own and others" Lila said "No shit" Five said "Fuck off" she said "Okay, can you two stop fighting like cats and dogs for five minutes and talk about something else?" you asked "Like what?" she asked "The Cleanse thing" you said.

"Yeah, so how worried do you think we have to be about this Cleanse thing?" he asked "Hard to say. You know, I used to think the Keepers were 90% batshit, but since I've been roofied with dodgy marigold, and I'm shooting laser beams out of my eyeballs, I'll give 'em 50/50" she said "Right. Well, after this, we'll go back, find Jean and Gene" you said "Good idea" Five nodded before he turned his head to see Diego walking over to you. "Diego" Five looked at his brother.

"What are you two talking about?" Diego asked "Trying to decide which festive drink to partake in" Lila said "And?" Diego asked "Well, mulled wine or some large black coffee for myself" Five pointed towards where they sold wine "Eggnog for Lila and hot coco for Y/n" Five pointed at you and Lila as he looked back at Diego.

"They're selling hot coco?" Diego asked before he looked at his wife "You hate eggnog" he said to her "I'm trying new things" Lila responded and Diego did a slightly nod "I'm sure you are" he said "Ah..." you and Five said as the two of you felt a little awkward between the two.

"Should we leave...?" you whispered to Five but instead of answering he noticed that a guy that was dress as an elf and was standing over by a carousel was watching you.

"That elf" Five said and the three of you turned to look at the guy "He's staring right at us" Five said "Who?" Diego asked "That elf over there" Five gestured his head to the guy over by the carousel who was wearing an elf costume.

"He's been staring at us" Five said "How much wine have you had?" Diego looked at his brother "Stop being weird" he said and Five rolled his eyes "Trust me. There's something up with this guy" Five said "He is right. He is staring at us in a not so normal way. Why is he staring at us?" you asked "Maybe he likes you" Lila said "Who is the paranoid person now, huh?" you sent Five a smirked.

"You got some competition, my love" he smiled and you chuckled.

"Don't worry, you got more than enough personalities to keep me completely occupied, and my heart only belong to you, you're the only woman for me" he said which made you blush.

"Well, maybe he is staring at me because he likes me" you raise a brow "Well, then he have to get through me first, I'm not losing you again,  and I'm going to fight for my woman" you smiled to each other before you kissed his cheek which he returned.

"Jesus, get a room" Lila rolled her eyes.

Then suddenly the guy that was dress as an elf stop the carousel and everyone turned to look at you, Five, Lila and Diego.

"Oh shit" Five said as he knew what was going on "Okay, I have a bad feeling about this" you said.

---

"Guys?" Viktor asked as he noticed that a old lady in the wheelchair was putting bullets in a shotgun causing it to make a cocks noise.

"Come on, let's get out of here!" Viktor said "There's two of 'em!" Luther smile as he lifted up another sconce.

"Go!" Viktor shouted.

Then the woman in the wheelchair rolled out before pointing her gun at Allison and Viktor "Allison!" Viktor shouted as the woman pulled the trigger hitting the brick small, only inches from the two.

Viktor lifted his arms before stretching them towards the woman as orange fire like powers came out of his hands.

The light hit the woman, sending her her flying backwards.

---

Gun was cocking as the people around you, Five, Lila and Diego grab their guns "We should go!" Diego said "Y/N!" Five as he grab your hand before the four of you started running as the people started shooting at you.

"What's going on?" Diego shouted "Gotta be Sy the dry cleaner. He screwed us!" Five shouted as you and Five was holding hands while the four of you were running from the people.

Then suddenly Five blink away, taken you with him because he was holding your wrist.

"Lila, use your eyeball thing" Diego told his wife as the two was running "I'm trying!" Lila shouted as she looked back at the people trying to use her laser eyes but they didn't work.

Lila hide behind a small booth while Diego hide behind a statue.

"Where the hell is Y/n and Five?" Diego shouted "I don't know!" Lila shouted back.

---

Both you and Five appeared in the subway again.

"What the..." you both looked around "Why are we in a underground subway station?" you looked around confuse. 

"Did you blink us here?" you looked at your husband "I didn't do it, well at least not on purpose" he said as you both looked around.

"It's just like last time" he said "What?" you looked at him "When I blink back in the office, I landed here" he said "Why?" you asked "I don't know" he said.

"Well, there must be a reason why we both blink here" you said "Yeah" Five nodded "Let's investigate this" you said before looking at him.

"Let's stay close to each other, okay" you said "Good idea" Five nodded.

"The last thing we need is one of us getting stuck or get lost in time" he said "Yeah, not wanna do that again" you said before you walked down the stairs farther down the subway. The light were shining orange and some strange signs was shown on the wall. There was a map with the same strange sign, you and Five couldn't figure it out.  

"I have no idea what that map is saying" you pointed on the map "Neither do I" Five said. 

"Why are we in a subway and why is it empty?" you looked around the empty subway.

The sound of a warped voice was speaking backwards over PA and the two of you saw the empty train arrive before stopping next to you.

The subway alert chimes as the door to the train opened as a warped voice speaking backwards over PA.

You and Five looked towards the stairs, not really knowing if you should enter the train or not.

"Shall we?" you looked at him "Let's go" you and Five took a deep breath, grab each other's hand before entering the train and the door closed before the train started driving into the tunnel.

As it enter the tunnel, the walls in the tunnel shining golden before glowing blue like it was traveling through a portal of some kind and the sound of unsettling audio distortion trilling was heard.

"It looks like it driving through some kind of portal, like it travel through time" you said "Maybe it's just a normal subway" he said "If it was, don't you think other people would be there?" you looked at him.

The train drove out of the tunnel before stopping by another subway.

You and Five got up before walking out of the train very confused.

You saw that the place now was more blue and the light was not shining that much.

"The hell?" you both asked, no idea what was going on.

"I think we are in another train station" you said "No, I think it's the same train station" he said before he looked at you "Come on" he said and the two of you walked up the stairs that lead outside but you both stop when you saw that you were at the same place, but it look more more peacefully. The sound of upbeat, festive music was playing.

"What..." you both looked around "What is going on?" you asked "Where is everyone?" he asked as he looked around.

"Where are the people that was shooting at us? And where are the others?" you asked as you looked around "It's so quiet and peaceful, it's like the shooting didn't happen. Did we travel back in time?" you asked.

"Same day" you look at the huge clock that was hanging by the town hall to see that the time was the same.

"Same time" you looked around again confuse.

Both you and Five noticed that instead of a male statue in the middle of the town, was there a female statue. The banner said 'Holiday sale' instead of 'Holiday festival' and you spotted a coffee queen instead of store.

When you noticed those changes you realized something.

You looked at each other "A different timeline" you both said "The train have taken us to another timeline" you said "Yeah" he nodded "That train is like the Commission's briefcase just different" Five said.

"Let's head back" you both turned around and ran down the stairs that lead to the underground subway.

You walked into the train and the subway alert chimes before it closed its door and drove back into the tunnel. Traveling through another timeline.

"This is so weird" you said before looking at Five "How is this possible?" you asked "No idea" he said.

"Are you sure you didn't blink us here on purpose?" you asked "I'm sure. I was trying to blink to a safe place, this is not what I had in mind" he said "So everytime you blink, you end in this subway?" you asked and he nodded "Why?" you asked "No idea, but I don't think I should blink anymore until I have figure out why I end up here everytime I do" he said.

"But who were the people and why were they shooting at us?" you asked "I don't know maybe they are working for Sy and he set us up" Five said before he turned to you.

"You're not hurt are you" he started checking you for any bullets wound "I'm fine Honey, not a scratch" you said but he kept checking you for any injuries.

"Fivey, I'm fine" you said  "Good, I just didn't know what I would do if something happen to you" he said "I know, but I'm fine" you said and you smiled to each other.

"Let's hope that the train stop at the right timeline, I don't want to be stuck again" you said "We wouldn't, we are done being stuck in time" he said.

"I hope the others are okay" you said "Of course they are okay, we are Hargreeves, and Hargreeves are hard to kill" he said and you chuckled.

"True, and even so you die, you somehow comes back to life, you are like cats. You have nine lives" you both chuckled. 

---

Lila and Diego was still taken cover as people were still shooting at them.

"Hey! Don't worry. I'm gonna go out, okay? You wait there" Diego told his wife "No, you stay. I'm gonna go" Lila said "No, you stay. I go" he said "Don't tell me what to do!" she shouted "Just let me make my own choices for now, okay?" he said.

"I have laser eyes! I'm more powerful than you!" she shouted "They're not even working!" he shouted "They're gonna work! I feel it! They're gonna work!" she shouted.

"Why can't I just do something for myself right now?" he shouted "You'd never do anything if I didn't tell you to!" she shouted "I take out the trash!" he shouted "This isn't about you!" she shouted as they were fighting again.

"Stay!" he pointed his finger at her "No!" she shouted "Stay!" he shouted "Listen to me for once in your goddamn life!" she shouted.

But then Diego moved out of cover before he let out a yell as he jump up in the air. And while he spin around in the air he control the bullets, making them flew around him.

He landed on his feet before he shoved his hands forward making the bullets hit the army and they all fell dead on the ground.

"Did you see that?" he asked.

But then the sound of a gun cocks was heard and a guy was pointed his gun right at Diego which cause Diego to turn around and look at the guy that was dress like an elf.

The guy was about to shoot him but then the sound of high-pitched whine was heard as green laser slice the guy in half.

"Yes!" Lila said and Diego turned to look at his wife "Really? You gotta one-up me like that?" he asked and she chuckled wryly before walking over to pick up the three stuff reindeer "It stings a bit. It does" she said "Come on" he said and Lila looked at the guy she have slice in half "Oh my God" she said before making a gag noise.

---

Allison, Viktor and Luther was running down the street "The hell is this place?" she asked "Who the hell are these people?" Luther asked before the three stopped running.

"Oh!" Allison gag as she saw a bunch of dead bodies as she tried not to throw up while Luther looked at one of the bodies to notice what it said on his uniform.

'Hargreeves Enterprises'

"Dad?" Luther looked around to noticed it said the same on every body "No" he said.

"Oh shit! Get down!" Luther rushed over to Allison and Viktor before he grab them, wrapped his arms around them so his back was facing the group while he pressed Allison and Viktor against his chest, working as a human shield.

The group started shooting which made the bullets hit Luther, but since he have gotten his powers and body back. He could stand the bullets since one of his powers was resilience.

Luther started grunting as the bullets hit him but he kept making sure that Allison and Viktor was in front of him so they didn't get hit.

Then Viktor moved out of Luther's grip before using his powers, causing orange light to come out of him.

The light hit some of army which caused them to scream as they flew up in the air.

Viktor then moved back to cover while Allison moved away from Luther before her eyes glow white as she looked at the army. A guy's eyes turned white and he turned around to point his gun at the last six people "What the hell?" one of them ask but the guy just shot them causing them to grunt as they fell dead on the ground.

The guy then shot himself.

"Well, my new power's dope" Allison said.

But then suddenly a guy dress like Santa started shooting which made Luther grab Allison and Viktor again before turning around so his back was facing the guy, working as a human shield again as the guy started shooting.

---

When the train stop you and Five walked out "Let's hope this is the right timeline" you said "It better be" Five said before you grab Five's hand.

"Get ready" Five said before he clenched his fist and jolted forward, blinking again which made you and him appear on the street right by Allison, Luther and Viktor.

"Y/N. FIVE!" Luther said "Over here hurry" Allison said "Five, get in here!" Luther shouted and Five grab you, making sure to use his own body as a shield as he rushed over them before Luther wrapped his arm around you and Five too, protect you like he did with Allison and Viktor.

As the guy who was dress like Santa kept shooting at them "I can't hold things much longer!" Luther shouted while Five had his arms wrapped around you pushing you into his body, making sure he was shielding you from the bullets, working as an extra shield for you.

Then suddenly the song baby shark could be heard and Diego drove into the guy with the van causing him to flew up in the air before landing on the ground.

"Get in!" Diego opened the driver seat.

"Go, go! Go!" Luther shouted and you all rushed over to the van.

You then saw Klaus laying on the seat behind you, blood running out of his mouth and a gun shot wound at his chest. He was leaned against Lila's chest as Allison was trying to stop the bleeding.

"Guys. He's dying!" Allison said "Five, Y/n, Marigold!" Lila said "Alright. On it. Yeah" you pulled up the jar with Marigold "No! He doesn't want that" Allison said "We can't just let him die" Luther said "He stopped breathing" Lila said and you handed Ben the Marigold "Do it" Five said.

Ben gave Allison the jar "He's right. Give it to him" Viktor said "What are you waiting for?" Diego asked "Okay, okay, okay" Allison opened the jar while Lila lifted up Klaus' shirt so Allison could pour it on the wound which she did.

The sound of marigold thrumming was heard as it was poured into Klaus' wound "I'm so sorry, Klaus" Allison said.

"Klaus?" Luther asked as they noticed that he had stopped breathing "Hey. Klaus" Lila said "Klaus, come on. Come on" Allison said as the wound on Klaus slowly started to disappear.

"Klaus" you said as tears was falling from your eyes as everyone feared the worst.

"No" you sob.

Then suddenly Klaus gasped as he woke up causing you all to let out a yell before breathing out in relieved.

"You okay?" Luther asked Klaus while you and Five breath out in relive "Thank God" he said while Luther laughed giddily as Klaus was wheezing.

"He's good" Luther said "What did you do?" Klaus spluttering "You're okay. You're okay" Luther patted Klaus' shoulder.

"You're good" Lila said "What did you do?" Klaus asked "I saved your life" Allison said and Diego handed one of the stuff reindeer to Lila who gave it to Klaus and he hugged it.

"Well, that was a weird fuckin' town" Viktor said "Such a weird town. It was a killer town" you said "You know it was all Hargreeves goons? You know, I should have know. Those sconces were too perfect" Luther said "At least we got who we came for" you said.

"Oh yeah. Good job, buddy. You found her" Luther said to Ben who looked at the woman Jennifer. She had long black hair.

"Hey, we're gonna get you back to your dad safe and sound" he told her "My dad?" Jennifer asked which caused you and Five to glanced at her over your shoulder.

"Yeah, Sy Grossman" Ben said "Who?" Jennifer asked confuse which caused you and Five to look at each other, thinking it was weird that Jennifer don't know who her own dad was. Unless it was a setup.

"It's a setup" you said.

But then another car came driving right into the van with full speed which made the van to start spinning around on the ground making you and the others to hang upside down as it spind around up in the air which made Ben's hand and Jennifer's hand to touch sending out a orange light that glow between their hands.

As the van spind around in the air Five put his hand on your chest, like he was protecting you.

The van spind around a few times before landing back on the wheels.

The car that has hit the van opened its door and Gene and Jean step out before walking over to the van to see everyone passed out.

Gene opened the side door and Diego let out a grunt as Gene grab Jennifer before he lifted her up.

"Help me, Ben" Jennifer said weakly as she tried to reach out her hand for him.

Jean left out a wearily as she looked into the van and she spotted Lila and immediately recognize her "Nancy, Nancy, Nancy" she shook her head lightly and Diego heard that "Nancy?" he asked confuse before passing out.

Jean then looked at you who was also passed out, Five right's hand was on your chest.

When Jean looked at you she immediately recognize you too.

"Millie, Mille, you too" she shook her head lightly "I actually started to like you" she said before her and her husband Gene turned around and walked towards their car.

Gene put Jennifer into their car before getting into the driver seat and the two drove away.
