"Run Boy Run"
Thirteen year old Persia missed her mother.
Don't get her wrong, she loves the Hargreeves, but her mom will always come first no matter what.
She was already dressed to start the day, just waiting for the familiar bell that signed it was time for breakfast. Her ocean blue eyes staring at the blue roof of her room, actually considering telling the Hargreeves about her 'heritage'.
A hardly audible ring sound through the house, waking Percy out of her daydream and making her leave the comfort of her bed. She opened her door and walked out of her room, Diego waiting for her while she closed her door. It was their thing, depending of who came out first, they needed to wait until the other came out and walked together to the dining room
(I couldn't think of a coherent way to explain the way they were sitten so I didn't write it. Just imagine them however you want)
Every kid had an assigned seat, with Vanya at the head and the other children scattered beside her. "Sit" Sir Reginald ordered and the children took their seats, with the radio sounding in the background.
Vanya was the only kid that was actually eating her food, the others taking bites from time to time while doing other things. Luther and Allison were smiling at each other, her doing it more hesitantly. Diego was craving something in the arm of his chair with one of his knives. Klaus was wrapping a joint of who knows what. Ben was reading.
And Percy was twirling her famous pen between her fingers while looking at her surroundings, until her eyes found Five's figure who was staring at Reginald intently. He caught her eyes and she immediately raised an eyebrow, asking a silent question with just that gesture. The only answer was a simple shake of the head and he went back to his staring.
Until he stabbed the table with his knife, attracting everyone's attention, including the man he was staring at before.
"Number Five?"
"I have a question" Percy looked at Five curiously, he looked briefly at the her then back at the other side of the table
"Knowledge is an admirable goal, but you know the rules. No talking during mealtimes. You are interrupting Herr Carlson" The kids were exchanging glances between them, wondering what was this all about.
"I want to time travel" Oh no.
"No" Was the immediate answer
"But I'm ready. I've been practicing my spatial jumps, just like you said." Number Five stood from his seat and spatially jumped to Sir Reginald's side "See?"
"A spatial jump is trivial when compared with unknowns of time travel. One is like sliding along the ice, the other is akin to descending blindly into the depths of the freezing water and reappearing as an acorn."
"Well, I don't get it" The other children had already returned their attention to their food by then, except two of them. Percy and Vanya exchange curious, and slightly worried, glances before returning their attention to the discussion at hand.
"Hence the reason you're not ready" Number Five looked first at Percy, who shrugged her shoulders, she wasn't really sure what's happening; and then at Vanya who shook her head in a no motion, trying to convince him to not make anything stupid.
"I'm not afraid" Percy actually rolled her eyes, of course.
"Fear isn't the issue. The effects it might have on your body, even on your mind, are far too unpredictable. Now, I forbid you to talk about this anymore."
You'd think that he let it go and go back to his food, right? Well, no, what he did was turn around and walk to the door.
"Number Five! You haven't been excused!" When Percy heard the door closing, she stood up, ready to make a run for it but Hargreeves stopped her "Number Zero! Sit down" Muttering a few curses in greek, she did was she was told and exchanged a look with a now extremely worried Vanya.
Five never returned.
He ended up in the end of the world.

Percy sighed, reaching for the keys of her apartment when she noticed a big brown dog, with piercing brown eyes. She knew. With another sigh, she glared slightly at the dog and opened her door "Get in" The dog wagged his tail and did as she said.
Now inside, Percy took her coat "Ok, it's been an extremely long day so I recommend that you start talking" She turned to face the dog and crossed her arms on her chest.
Right before her eyes, the dog changed into a handsome, tall, asian man, with black hair and brown eyes.
"It's been a while, Perce" Frank Zhang, son of Mars and descendant of Poseidon, stood in front of Percy after almost ten years of not hearing from him.
Something is not right.
