Diego's Daughter//TUA

I Would Rather Chew Off My Own Foot (end of season one!)

"Yeah I did take credit for it, but the real hero was Ben."
The siblings all looked at him like he was crazy. But Frances just looked at him with pity. She knew how hard all her aunts and uncles, and dad had it growing up with Reginald as their father... she was surprised only one of them turned to addictions to soothe the trauma. I mean if she grew up with a power, in the spotlight AND with a dad who fed them trauma on a spoon each day she would have turned to drugs just like Klaus did. She felt bad for him, people not taking him seriously. Maybe she couldn't wrap her head around Ben saving her dad but she did feel that power that didn't come from her, that pulled her dad back from the brick. It could be him.

"Listen- today he punched me in the face and earlier at the house he was the one who saved Diego's life not me." K.aus defended himself. "You are unbelievable." Luther started, Frances stood up and faced all of them. "No, no I agree with Klaus. I tried to pull dad away from the bricks that were about to fall on him but I felt this strange force that didn't come from me, pull him out. The way all of you treat Klaus, disgusts me." Her eyes lingered on Luther and Diego a little longer. And she sat down.
"See yeah, want proof?" Klaus picked up a bowling ball and threw it. It fell on the ground.
"Is there any way to silence that-" Luther started to say but Frances cut him off. "You will all see Ben soon." she smiled sarcastically. Diego scoffed with a smile and shook his head.
Klaus applauded her. She didn't mean that they would all die, but that Ben will figure out how to physically show himself like he did when he pulled Diego. Of course the siblings all thought her comment related to death.
"Look now is not the time to mess around ok? This is serious." Luther broke up the side conversation.
"You know I liked you a lot better before you got laid!" Klaus responded. Frances tried to hold back a chuckle but she couldn't.
Allison eyed Klaus, then turned to Luther.
"Which was a complete- well it wasn't his fault because he was ridiculously high right? And she thought he was a furry and-" Klaus added to diffuse the tension but just made it worse. "Just stop talking." Luther sighed.
"Ok." Klaus scratched his head.

Allison got up to leave and Luther attempted to stop her with fail and he followed her outside.

"Excuse me-" a plump woman with a son under her arms came up to the group.
"-it's my son Kenny's, birthday today and I think he would be happier playing with kids his own age assuming it's ok with your two dads." The woman looked at Five and Frances who looked to be the same age as the kid. Frances and Five looked at eachother in a *do they mean us?* kind of way before they looked back at the two.
"I would rather chew if my own foot." Five spat.
Frances smirked.
"Let's go Kenny." The two walked off.
"If I were to date a man you would be the last one I would date." Diego spoke to Klaus.
"You would be lucky to get me." Klaus responded. Frances shook her head with a smile.

"All right wheres Five?" Luther came back out with Allison.
"He left." Diego answered
"Well where is he?"
"I don't know Luther, you tell us."
Frances responded.
"All right well I'm not waiting around for him the concert starts in 30 minutes."
"All right so what's the plan." Diego asked.
"Well.. I thought that uh we go to the theater."
"That's a location not a plan."
"...."
"What is that all you got? Look you wanna be Number one, fine. But you are gunna have to get us on the same page because now we are all over the place."
"You're right. We need a plan."
"Well you better get one together now because I think those armed people are after us." Frances looked to the door.
The siblings all turned.
The shots fired quickly, and everyone ducked.
Frances crouched between Allison and Klaus as she covered her ears.
"WHERE DID THEY COME FROM?" Diego shouted, "MAYBE THEY ARE HERE FOR KENNYS BIRTHDAY." Klaus answered.

"NO IM PRETTY SURE THEY ARE HERE FOR US." Luther replied.
Diego threw a knife at one of them
Play the music on the top now.
the siblings fought back. Luther and Diego threw things at them.
Klaus reaches up and grabbed the birthday cake. Him and Frances nodded and he handed it to her and she hurled the cake at one, but ended up hitting two since the one she hit fell backwards and it was a domino act.
Klaus highfived her.
"They're blocking the exit!" Klaus told them.
"SO WHATS THE PLAN NOW LUTHER?" Diego questioned.
Allison poked at Frances and Klaus at the bowling lanes. "We run?" Frances asked.. Allison nodded.
"Let's go!" Luther instructed and they each had a lane and ran, throwing themselves into the pins.
Diego was first to get to the back, and when he saw Frances he cut infront of Klaus and took her hand, and looked behind his shoulder to wait for Klaus.

They ran up the steps, Frances clutching her dads arm. I need to go alone Allison wrote
"Allison I can't let you do that she's beyond reasonalable." Luther stooped her.
"The music already started!" Diego shouted.
"Do you want us to think she's going to listen?"
"We don't have time for this." Klaus anxiously said.
"Vanya sure as hell won't want to see you Luther. Just let Allison go alone." Frances stated.
"Ok." Luther agreed. Frances knew he was using her as a distraction. It was too late to argue.
