THREE






They we're all in the kitchen watching Five grab bread to make a sandwich.

"What's the date? The exact date" Five asks and Eden closes her eyes at the familiar voice

"The 24th" Vanya says seeming confused

"Of what?" Five coldly asks and Eden smiles sadly to herself, she knew he changed

"March"

"So, are we gonna talk about what just happened?" Luther asks and Eden could feel how heavy her heart was with seeing her lost love. Five ignored Luther as he put two pieces of bread on the board and Eden watched Luther stands up.

"It's been 17 year" Luther says and Five puts his hands in the oversized pants

"It's been a lot longer than that" Five coldly says and spacial jumps behind Luther to grab something

"I haven't missed that" Luther mumbles as Eden stares at Five

"Where'd you go?" Diego asks and Five spacial jumps again

"The future, it's shit, by the way"

"Called it" Klaus says holding his finger up and Eden silently laughs

"I should've listened to the old man" Eden raises her eyebrow at that, of course he should have listened to their father

"You know, jumping through space is one thing, jumping through time is a toss of the dice." Five says opening the tub of peanut putter

He eyes Klaus and doesn't even glance at Eden who stood beside Allison who was holding her hand tightly in comfort.

"Nice dress" Five compliments

"Oh, well, danke!" Klaus says playing with the skirt.

"Wait, how did you get back?" Vanya asks with furrowed eyebrows

"In the end, I had to project my consciousness forward into a suspended quantum state version of myself that exists across every possible instance of time" he explains as all of them hold confusion on their faces besides Eden who nodded along

When Five was here before he would talk about these kind of things while laying on her lap, staring at the stars. Eden teared up at the memory before quickly blinking the tears away.

"That makes no sense" Diego says with confusion all over his face and Eden wanted to put a comforting hand on him but she felt like her feet were glued to the floor.

"Well, it would if you were smarter." Five says not looking up once and Luther quickly puts his arm up to stop Diego from jumping his brother.

"How long were you there?"

"Forty-five years. Give or take" Five says and Eden closes her eyes. Fifty-eight without him

"So what are you saying? That you're 58?" Luther questions and Eden almost giggle

"No, my consciousness is 58. Apparently my body is now 17 again." Five says and Vanya shakes her head in confusion.

"Wait, how does that even work?" Vanya asks

"Delores kept saying the equations were off. Eh" He says taking a bit of his sandwich and Edens eyebrows furrowed. Who's Delores? Everyone glanced at her but she didn't show any emotion on her face.

"Bet she's laughing now"

"Delores?" Vanya hesitantly asks, glancing at her sister who's eyes were now on the floor.

"Hmm. Guess I missed the funera-" he was cut off by Edens ringtone blaring. She looks down to see 'Blake' was calling, she furrows her eyebrows in worry and looks at her siblings who were staring at her along with Five.

"Uhm- I'll be right back" Eden says, quickly picking the phone up

"Blake? What's wrong?" Eden asks worriedly and that was all they heard before she left.

Five felt a bubbling sensation in his stomach, who's Blake? Five glanced at the door wanting to go after her and go to their secret castle to cuddle but he knew they couldn't. The world was ending

"Now that Edens gone I can ask the question that we're all wondering" Luther says

"Why does Eden look 17 still?" Lucifer asks causing Five to sigh

"As you know me and Eden have that bond that connects are powers and minds so when I left her body stayed 17 just like mine" Five explains as Eden talks to her friend

"Nothins' wrong I just wanted to call you to check up on you" Blake's soothing Irish accent was heard through the phone and Eden smiled softly

"I'm fine, always am and always will be" Eden says quietly as Blake sighs sadly

"You don't always have to be fine, you can be not fine with me E" Blake says using her nickname and Eden closes her eyes hoping the tears wouldn't fall and she didn't sob into the phone because she knew her best friend would come flying all the way here to comfort her.

"I know B, seriously, I'm fine" Eden says into the phone

"Alright whatever you say but I have to go, I'll talk to you soon! Love you!" Blake exclaims before hanging the phone up and Eden grins at her phone. She loved her best friend, he was the best and always there to comfort her

"Eden come on we are going to have dads funeral" Klaus says, dragging Eden out as she quickly grabs the umbrella sitting by her dresser.


Eden stood beside their mother, holding her umbrella as to not get wet.

"Did something happen?" Mom asks and Eden furrows her eyebrows

"Dad died remember?" Eden softly said to their mother who's face saddens

"Oh. Yes, of course"

"Is mom okay?" Allison asks

"Yeah, yeah, she's fine. She just needs to rest. you know, recharge." Diego says standing in the rain, soaking wet and Eden purses her lips trying not to scold Diego.

He could get sick

"Whenever you're ready, dear boy" Pogo says to Luther

Luther opens it and dumps the ashes onto to the floor and Eden grimaces when the ashes just lay there. Luther clears his throat and stares at his sister who nodded. Eden lifted her hand, flicking her wrist and they all watch as the ashes fly away.

"Does anyone wish to speak?" Pogo asks looking at everyone of them

They all stay quiet and Eden rocked back and forth on her feet. This was really awkward

"Very well" Pogo says

"In all regards, Sir Reginald Hargreeves made me what I am today. For that alone, I shall forever be in his debt. He was my master and my friend, and I shall miss him very much." Pogo says with a frown and Eden grips her umbrella

"He leaves behind a complicated legacy—" pogo was cut off by Diego

"He was a monster, he was a bad person and a worse father" Diego says and Klaus laughs lightly

"The worlds better off without him" Diego says and Eden steps up

"Diego" she warns

"My name is number two. You know why? Because our father couldn't be bothered to give us actual names. He had mom do it" Diego says with a snarl and mom perks up at the mention of her name

"Would anyone like something to eat?" Mom asks with a smile on her face

"No, it's okay mom" Vanya says and Mom nods

"Oh, okay"

"Look. You wanna pay your respects? Go ahead but at least be honest about the kind of man he was."

"Diego!" Eden shouts, her cheeks red with anger. Diego turns to her with a glare and shakes his head

"You know you should be on my side, number zero" Diego says

"Diego" Luther warns, stepping closer to his sister

"After everything he did to you? He had to force you to forget!" Diego says taking threatening steps towards Eden who looked ready to cry and Five turns to Klaus while Allison looks down at the ground.

"Diego I would stop talking if I were you" Luther threatens as his favorite sibling was getting threatened

"You should be on my side to number one. After everything he did to you? He had to ship you a million miles away" Diego exclaims and Luther grits his teeth getting angry

"Diego, stop talking" Eden shouts knowing her brothers were going to fight but Diego ignores her

"That's how much he couldn't stand the sight of you!" Diego shout pushing Luther and Luther swings at Diego's head but Diego ducks

Eden sighs in frustration and goes to walk towards them but was stopped by Allison who shook her head. Five watched Eden and wanted to spacial jump to her side but he couldn't risk getting distracted. All he wanted to do was take her far, far away from here and tell her everything that happened but he couldn't, not yet.

"Boys, stop this at once!" Pogo yells but they kept throwing punches at each other

"Come on big boy!" Diego yells

"Stop!" Eden screams

"Hit him! Hit him!" Klaus chants standing beside Five who purses his lips

Pogo scoffs, shaking his head and walking inside. Luther grabs Diego and throws him making Diego roll a few feet away.

"Get off me!" Diego yells throwing punches at Luther who punched back only to get a punch to the face

"We don't have time for this" Five says and gives Eden- who was looking at the boys in worry -one last looks.

"Come on big boy!" Diego says urging an angry Luther on who jumps at Diego only for him to dodge and instead punch Bens statue making it fall and shatter.

"Stop it!" Eden screams loudly pushing her hands out making the two boys go flying

"Oh..." Klaus says and Allison looks at her sister in worry

"You two just don't know when to stop!" Eden angrily yells, tears running down her cheeks as she rushes inside.

Eden angrily wipes her tears away and changes into a pair of dry jeans, a white crew neck and putting her hair in a ponytail. She grabs her keys, phone, purse and walks out of the door, driving off.

She wanted to go home
