"Sit." Reginal commands to the 8 children

"A screen anchor must be used if the rope is to be successfully retrieved from the face of the mountain. Tightly knot the ends of the rope. Once anchored, thread the doubled rope through the legs, front to back, and around the buttocks. It is of utmost importance"

Diego was sharpening his knife, Luther and Allison making eyes, Ben reading, Klaus rolling up a blunt(as always), Vanya eating normally like eight. 

"that the rope be drawn under the gluteal muscles, not through the crevice between the gluteus. Proceed by holding the rope diagonally..."

Five clangs his fork on his plate, gaining the attention from everybody at the table

"Number Five?" Reginald looks at him

"I have a question."

"Knowledge is an admirable goal, but you know the rules." He looks at him straight in the eye.

"No talking during mealtimes."
"No talking during mealtimes." eight muttered

"You are interrupting Herr Carlson." He added

Five clatters his dishes once again.

"I want to time travel." He says standing up
"No."

"But I'm ready. I've been practicing my spatial jumps, just like you said." He jumps, "See?"

"A spatial jump is trivial when compared with the 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."

Eight nodded her head at Five, letting him know its true.

"Well, I don't get it." Eight sighs continuing to eat

"Hence the reason you're not ready." Reginald states
"I'm not afraid."

"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."

With that Five runs out of the academy

"Number Five!" He shouts, "You haven't been excused! Come back here!"

Eight sighs contemplating, before also jumps ups and starts running out to find him

"Number Eight!"

"Five! don't do this, don't go" She shouted at the brown haired boy pulling his hand

"Why? So I can miss out on an opportunity of a lifetime?" He sneered, "I'm going and that it"

"So your just gonna leave us? Ben, and Vanya?" Eight asked scoffing, "Do you even care about what might happen to us, to you? What if you mess up a time line or some shit?"

"I've coordinated every possible equation for this. I'm going. And I'm not gonna let you of all people ruin my chance."

"'you of all people' what's that supposed to mean?" the girl asked his offended. 

"Your just as much a kiss up to dad as Luther. You barley even use your powers. You don't belong with us! You never did!"

"Do whatever the fuck you want Five. I won't be here when you come back." As she turned around to walk away a tear rolled on her cheek.

When she reached the gate, the boy no longer stood there. He was long gone. She couldn't care less anymore.

=====================

"I survived on scraps. Canned food, cockroaches, anything I could find." We were shocked

"You know that rumor that Twinkies have an endless shelf life?" He asked laughing, we nodded, "Well, it's total bullshit."
