The Beauty of Being Numb | Klaus Hargreeves x Reader

Waterloo

*Waterloo is a song by ABBA and it was originally recorded in English. There's also a German version by them, the one used in this chapter. So if you're curious of what the lyrics say, just search it in English.
Also, the conversation under the division is supposed to be in German, but it would have been dumb writing it like that since it's so long, so I wrote it in English.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Diego parks in front of a suburban house, making sure everything's clear before getting out of the car.

-Be careful, okay?- Allison says as she walks behind her brother-. We don't know what Peabody's capable of.

-Yeah, he didn't seem dangerous when I first saw him. Looked kinda scrawny.

-Yeah, well, so are most serial killers and mass murderers- she points at Five-. I mean, look at him.

-Thanks.

(Y/N) looks worried at Five, she knows there's something wrong.

-Good point- Diego agrees-. What's this guy want with Vanya?

Alisson separates from the group as they walk to the porch.

-I don't know- Five answers-. How about we ask him after we kill him?

-Whoa, whoa... Hey, look, I'm gonna bust through...- Diego notices her sister's gone-. You know what? It would be nice for people just to stick to...

Five disappears.

-...The plan- he sighs, looking at (Y/N)-. Great.

Diego turns to look at the door and, without a warning, jumps through the crystal screen, crashing it. He falls inside the house, grunting.

-Subtle- Allison walks across a corridor.

-You know, the door was unlocked- (Y/N) mentions, opening it.

-Yeah, well, my way works just fine- Diego stands up, grunting-. Spread out. Yell if you, uh... You know, you're in trouble.

He limps as he walks around the house.

-Ah, inspiring leadership.

-One of the greats- Allison climbs the stairs-. I'll check-up.

-I'll go with you, Five- (Y/N) says as the kid starts walking around. He just sighs.

A couple of minutes later, in which (Y/N) tries to convince Five to tell her what's wrong, Allison shouts from the upper floor:

-Guys, you need to see this!

The three people downstairs run up the steps and then up to the attic.

(Y/N) is the last to arrive, and as she examines the room, a chill runs down her spine.

Everyone thinks feelings and emotions are an exclusive thing of humans or animals. And, even though it is partially true, those two can also stick to places and objects. So as soon as (Y/N) step inside the room, she felt the hatred and suffering vibing everywhere.

-All our faces are burnt off- Allison says as she looks at their action figures.

Dozens of pictures of The Umbrella Academy decorated the place. But the eyes of the kids in them were scratched.

-Well, that's not creepy. This guy's got some serious issues,

-Shit.

(Y/N) notices Five panting at her side, he was really pale.

-Five...

-This was never about Vanya!- the others don't notice-. This was about us.

Gasping, Five collapses, but (Y/N) is quick enough to hold him. They both fall to the ground, Five's head in (Y/N) lap.
