So tempted in loving you | Five Hargreeves

10. Act ten

At the moment both Alyssa, and five were standing in a tall building. Large colossal, big windows surpassing their bodies. The sun shining through the windows. Their nose scenting bleach, too much cleaning supplies, and alcohol. It reminded Alyssa too much of a hospital. Five observing the building.

A guy was walking by. He just bumped into the petite girl, almost making her plunge. If five haven't have held her hand she would have fallen over. The guy not taking one glance at the girl not caring he bumped into her. Five stared at the guy with anger in his eyes. Alyssa gripped on his hand, he looked at her, she smiled at him, five returning the smile. But soon their attention was brought to a man.

"Uh, can I help you?" He asked confused his eye brows furrowed, as he was looking at the secretary women. "I need to know who this belongs to." Five said as he let softly go of Alyssas hand. Walking towards the man, Alyssa following. "Where did you get that?" Questioned the man. "What do you care?" But that's when Alyssa spoke up. "Uh, we found it on the grass, at the playground we just wanted to return that eye to the owner."

" yeah...uh, must have just...popped out." Five agreed as he clicked his tongue. "So um he just wanted to return it to its rightful owner" Alyssa stated. Alyssa's and five's attention being brought to a women who uttered "oh...what thoughtful children." She smiled. Both five and Alyssa looked at her and smiled back so innocently. "Yeah. Look up the name for me, will ya?" Queryed five.

"Uh, I'm sorry, but patient records are strictly confidential." The man spoke up. "That means I can't tell you-" "Yeah, I know what it means." Five posited in a cold tone. "But I'll tell you what I can do. I will take the eye off your hands and return it to the owner. I'm sure he or she will be very grateful, so if I can just-" the man said about to take the eye from fives hand, but stopped afterwards.

"yeah, you're not touching this eye." "Now, you listen here, young man-" the man was just about to vocalize but got cut off again. F ive pulling him by his lab coat. Making the man grunt. "No! You listen to me, asshole. I've come a long way for this, through some shit your pea brain couldn't even comprehend." "Yeah, so just give us the information we need, and we'll be on our merry way." Alyssa postulated. "And if you call me young man one more time, I'm gonna put your head through that damn wall."

The women uttered "oh, dear." the man softly said "call security." "Yeah." She agreed dialing the number. As he she was about to do that Alyssa stood next to her smiling sweetly, leaning against the counter, getting the women's attention, Alyssa grabbed the phone and smashed it back down. Five shoved the man back letting his lab coat go. The man Exhales, fixing his coat. Both Alyssa and five leaving the building. "We need an adult with us so we can go back in. And get answers" five explained looking at Alyssa, and back at the building. "Yeah, your right but who exactly are we gonna need?"  "Hmm...I've got just the person."

Both just now in fives room, Alyssa using her ability to draw while moving the pencil with her mind, then just used her hand. Five stood their with both his hands in his pocket, near the window looking through it. Then heard footsteps from a distance. Vanya soon got to his doorway and started walking in his room, she sighed, "oh, thank god." She said with relief, looking at her two siblings. Five glanced at her and turned back around looking at the window. "I was worried sick about both of you." Alyssas guilt came rushing to her, now feeling horrible. He turned fully around looking at vanya.

"Sorry I left without saying goodbye." Five uttered "No, look, I'm the one that should be sorry. Yeah, I was dismissive, and...I- I guess I didn't know how to process what you were saying. And I still can't, to be honest." Fives eyes softened. "Maybe you were right to be dismissive." He scoffed  "maybe it wasn't real after all." Five said as he took a few steps forward strolling away. "It felt real. Well...like you said, the old man did say time travel could contaminate the mind." As he turned around looking at vanya.

"Then maybe I'm not the right person for you to be talking to." Alyssa, and five discussed earlier that maybe they shouldn't really trust vanya after all. Alyssa really loves her sister but she just gets this feeling that they shouldn't really trust her, and shouldn't talk to her about this. "Look, I used to see someone. A therapist. I could give you her information." "Thanks, but...I think I'm just gonna get some rest. It's been a long time since I've had a good sleep." Five said looking at his bed, then looking at the color pencil that was floating towards Alyssa, Alyssa grabbing it. Making five giggle softly, and looked back at vanya. "Okay." Vanya sighed. She took one more glance at both of them, smiled at Alyssa, Alyssa smiling back. With that vanya walked away.

Five walking toward the door peering, and distinguishing her footsteps wane away. As fives closet door opens making item's fall causing a clatter and a loud thud. Revealing Klaus. "That's, so...touching, all that stuff about family and dad and time. Wow!" Klaus added stopping mid sentence to gasp for air. Leading five, and Alyssa to cringe. Alyssa squinting her eyes not wanting to get caught. "Would you shut up? She'll hear you" five shrilled, pointing the outside of his bedroom, while looking at Klaus.

"I'm moist." Klaus stated, making Alyssa put her hand over her mouth covering her giggle. Five then inspecting Klaus's outfit, "I told you to put on something professional." Klaus looked offended. "What? This is my nicest outfit." "You look amazing Klaus." Alyssa commented. She never really liked seeing her siblings sad, cry, or anything. "Why thank you ally" Klaus thanked the small girl, Alyssa chuckled softly. Five sighs "we'll raid the old man's closet." He specified as he was leaving his bedroom, Klaus and Alyssa following. "As long as I get paid." Klaus declared "When the job is done." Five assured Klaus.

"Okay, but just so we're clear on the finer details, I just gotta go into this place and pretend to be your dear old dad, correct?"Questioned Klaus as five stopped walking and turned towards Klaus. "Yeah. Something like that." Five reassured him. "Whats our cover story?" "What? What are you talking about?" "I mean, was I really young when I had you? Like, 16? Like, young and...terribly misguided." "Sure." Five agreed. "Your mother, that slut." Klaus revealed. Fives eyebrows furrowing. "Whoever she was, we met at... "the disco?" Alyssa interrogated with a confused look on her face. Five giving her a look that read 'don't encourage him' she giggled softly. "Okay? Remember that." Klaus chuckled.

Five nodding his head yes. Klaus snapped his fingers "oh, my god, the sex was amazing." "What a disturbing glimpse into that thing you call a brain." Five postulated as he started walking again. "Don't make me put you in time out."
