In This Together (Five Hargreeves)

Part 2 (S1-E10)

Sitting beside Five in the super star I sit back with one leg crossed over the other as I have my arms wrapped around my stomach.

"Look, I hate to be the one to say this, but everyone needs to prepare," Luther warns.

"For what?" I ask annoyed.

"To do whatever it takes to stop Vanya," Luther answers, causing Allison to hit him with the notebook in her hand. "I-we may not have a choice, Allison."

"Bullshit, there's always options," Diego says.

"Yeah, like what?" Five asks Diego.

"I don't know."

"Don't tell me you plan on killing your sister?" I ask Five angrily, sitting up in my seat.

"I'm not saying that. But if it comes down to it we're gonna have to," Five answers.

"Look, whatever we decide, we need to find Vanya," Luther says before I could open my mouth to argue with Five. "And task, okay? She could be anywhere."

"Or...here. look at this," Klaus says holding his newspaper out so we could all see. Leaning forward I see Vanya holding a violin in one of the pictures.

"That's right. Her concert is tonight," Diego says.

"Hello," One of the workers says as she walking towards us. "I hate to intrude, but my manager says if you're not gonna bowl, you gotta leave."

"Who's turn is it?" Diego asks.

"Oh, for…"Luther says, rolling his eyes before picking up one of the bowling balls and throwing it. Leaning over Five a little I watch the ball hit a strike.

"Good shot," I shrug.

Allison stands up tapping her pen on her notebook as she shows Luther.

"We're the only ones capable of stopping this," Luther states. "We have a responsibility to Dad."

"To Dad?" Diego says loudly. "No, I've heard enough about-"

"He sacrificed everything to bring us back together," Luther argues.

"I'm with Luther on this one. We can't give her a chance to fight back," Five agrees.

"Are you serious?" I ask standing up. "Your really agreeing with Luther?" 

"Yes, there are billions of lives at stake Y/N. We're past trying to save just one,"

Crossing my arms over my chest I scoff, rolling my eyes. Before looking away from him.

"Hey, you know, guy's in...maybe I could help," Klaus suggests.

"Now is not the time," Luther says.

"No, let him finish," Diego says, causing Luther to look at him confused. "He saved my life today...and Y/N."

"Really?" Ben asks, holding out his arms offended.

"Is that true?" Luther asks.

"Yeah, yeah, I did...take credit for it. In fact, the real hero...was Ben," Klaus admits.

Everyone looks at him as if they didn't believe him.

"Today... Listen. Today, he punched me in the face," Klaus says. "And earlier at the house, he was the one who saved Diego's life along with Y/N, not me."

"It's true, I saw it," I say.

"You two are unbelievable," Luther says.

"You're seriously not going to believe me?" I ask, pissed. "You do realize Klaus isn't the only one who can see him, right?"

"You could be lying. After all you did lie about your powers," Luther points out.

"Your gonna bring that up now? What, do you want an apology?" I ask, crossing my arms over my chest.

"I-" 

"Hey, hey stop. You want proof Luther, is that it?" Klaus says cutting off Luther as he picks up a bowling ball. "All right, I-I'll give you proof. All right, it's showtime, busy."

Throwing the ball towards Ben, Five moves into my empty seat. Getting out of the way as the ball goes straight through Ben's hands and onto the floor. 

"Is there any way to silence that voice in your head that screams out to be the center of attention?" Luther asks annoyed.

"You know, I liked you a lot better before you got laid," Klaus says loudly, making Allison's eyes grow wide. "Which was a complete...It- it wasn't his fault, cause he was ridiculously high, right?"

With my hands still crossed over my chest I sit down beside Five who still sits in my seat.

"And-and the girl, she thought he was a furry-" Klaus tried to continue.

"Stop!" Luther says sternly.

"Okay," Klaus agrees, rubbing the back of his neck.

Grabbing her notebook of the counter Allison turns and walks out of the bowling alley. Luther soon following behind her.

"Excuse me," A woman says walking over with her kid. "Excuse me, it's my son Kenny's birthday today, and, uh... wouldn't your kids be happier playing with kids their own age? Assuming it's okay with your two dads."

Looking over at Klaus he looks over at Diego shocked. Snorting I cover my mouth as I turn back towards Five, resting my head on his back to try and stop myself from laughing.

"I would rather chew off my own foot," Five says.

Hearing the sound of something coming down a tube I lift my head off Five's back. As we both turn our heads towards where the sound came from. Five quickly gets up walking towards the sound.

"Sorry ma'am," I say standing up. "My... boyfriend has a lot on his plate right now."

"How the hell did she find me?" I hear Five say to himself as I walk towards him.

"What happened?" I ask.

Five doesn't answer and just stares off into space as if thinking. But it doesn't take long before an angry look washes over his face and he begins digging in his pockets. Watching, Five soon pulls a candy out of his pocket. Opening it he pulls out a tracker holding it up to his face.

"She's good," He chuckles, quickly dropping the tracker and stepping on it. Before opening the container in his other hand.

Stepping closer to him I rest my chin on his shoulder, trying to read the fortune he had pulled out of a cookie from the container.

"I have to go," Five says, turning to leave.

"Woah, woah, woah. Where are you going?" I ask, grabbing his wrist. "We need to find Vanya."

"I'm going to the Handler, she needs to talk to me," Five answers.

"Well the I'm going with you,"

"No. It's between me and her," Five says.

Opening my mouth slightly I tilt my speechless. Five sighs softly before grabbing both sides of my shoulder, and giving me a peck on the lips.

"I'll be back," He says. Turning and warping before I could say another word.

"Oh Five, you're lucky I love you," I sigh to myself as I walk back to my seat sitting down.
