To Be Loved (Season one Umbrella Academy)

Sorting Out the Truth

You land in the passenger seat.

Y/n- A warning would've been nice.

Five- Why do you look the same?

He seems to be examining you deeply.

Y/n- Same reason as you...

Five raises an eyebrow.

Y/n- I made a mistake in the equation.

He opens his mouth to respond but he seems too confused to question it.

————————————————————

Five pulls into Griddy's Donuts, he turns towards you as if he's gonna speak. You give him a daring smile and open the door. Five follows you as you take a seat at the bar area. You hit the service bell twice. A few moments later a man walks in and sits a stool away from a Five. The man sets his cap on the counter and pulls out a newspaper.

A fragile looking woman spills out from the kitchen doors.

Woman- Sorry, sink was clogged. What can I get you?

Man- Can I get a chocolate eclair?

As the woman signs the mans order on a notepad she continues.

Woman- Can I get the kids a glass of milk or something?

Y/n- The kids want coffee.

You push off an innocent, young act.

Five- Black.

Woman- Cute kids.

The woman is taken back as Five forces a big childish smile, the lady quickly turns and begins shuffling around preparing your orders.
Five speaks obviously to the man.

Five- Don't remember this place being such a shit hole. I used to come here as a kid. I'd sneak out with my brothers and sister and eat donuts till we threw up. Simpler times, huh?

Man- I suppose.

The woman places your orders in front of you all.

Man- I got theirs.

Y/n- Thanks.

Five gestures towards the man's hat.

Five- You must know your way around the city.

Man- I'd hope so, I've been driving around for years.

Five- Great, I need an address.

You listen to the mans truck engine start up as Five folds the piece of paper signed with an address into his pocket. Before you can question him the doors swing open, you both see the reflection of suited men in the service bell.

Five- That was fast, thought I'd have more time before you found me.

Suited man- Let's be professional about this. Come with us, we wanna talk.

Five- I have nothing to say.

Man- It doesn't have to go this way, you think I wanna shoot a kid? Go home with that on my concession.

Five- That won't be a problem... you won't be going home.

You watch Five reaches for a butter knife and get the hint. You quickly que your invisibly as Five blinks behind the man and stabs him.

The room fills with gun fire and Five teleports around the room. You pull a man backwards by his collar as you become visible again. Another suited man accidentally shoots the man you pulled backwards.
