The entire Umbrella Academy shift uncomfortably in their seats. The air is thick with an unknown tension. You sit on one of the living room couches beside Klaus and Vanya, with Allison and Five on the couch opposite you. Diego is standing with his elbows rested on the back of one of the couches, as Luther paces the room.

"Okay" Klaus says, clapping his hands together. "I'll ask him. Why are we here today, Luther?"

"We have a situation here" he replies delicately.

"Well no shit" Five spits. "The world is ending, there are two highly trained assassins after us and you won't shut up about being sent to the moon"

Luther's eyes shoot daggers at his brother, but he just sighs. "I'm getting a drink"

Luther walls to the liquor cabinet, and pulls out an intricate bottle of golden liquid. You watch Five bounce his knee opposite you, and you notice a strange look on his face. Like he's trying to figure something out. His eyes go wide. In one swift motion he leaps off the couch and grabs the glass of liquor from Luther's hand.

"Five what are you doing?!"
Five skids away from Luther, landing next to your couch.

"The drink, its poisoned" he says.

"It's poisoned my ass. You just want it because it's the last of the liquor" Luther snaps.

"Luther calm down" you say, getting to your feet.

"Stay out of this Y/N" He hisses, turning back to his brother. "I just need to take the edge of, okay? It's been stressful for all of us, not just you"

Allison is the next to intervene.
"This is ridiculous. Why don't you two just put the drink back and we can continue with the meeting"

"No! We can't just continue! I can't even have a drink in this house without being ridiculed and I can't take it anymore!"

Fives eyes shoot venom, and he nervously looks at the drink in his hand.
"You don't believe me? You think I'm just being petty?" He spits.

You know where this is going.
"Five dont-" you start.

"Fine. Let me prove it to you"

"FIVE-"

Five downs the liquor. The glass immediately slips from his fingers and smashes on the ground. His body shakes. His knees buckle beneath him as he collapses.

"JESUS FUCK!" Klaus screeches before anyone else has any time to react.

Everyone jumps to Five's side, unsure what to do as panic fills the room. Somehow, throughout the chaos, Diego keeps a cool head. He turns to his sister.
"Vanya call an ambulance" Diego says.

"HOW ARE YOU SO CALM?!" You cry, holding Five's twitching head.

"We have to remain calm Y/N. Everything's gonna be fine" Diego reassures.

You stroke a strand of hair off of Five's face, trying not to cry as his eyes roll back into his head. His mouth is slightly agape, coughing and spluttering and his whole body shakes.

"Oh yeah he's gonna be fine" Klaus says sarcastically. "Look at him! Does he look fine? Look what you did Luther!"

Luther stands a few meters away from the poisoned boy, just staring in horror.

"Come on this wasn't Luther's fault-" Allison interjects. Klaus literally brushes her off as he pushes past her to his brother.

"Hey!" Klaus shoves him in the chest. "Look what you did to him!"

Vanya runs back to Fives side.
"The ambulance is on its way"

"You hear that Five? The ambulance is coming. You're gonna be fine, alright? You're gonna be fine" your whole body racks as you let out a loud sob.
"You're gonna be fine"
