Fighting Fate ~ Five H. x Reader ⚠️ DISCONTINUED ⚠️

S1 E5

Five ended up sending the letter to Hazel and Cha-Cha, so with them thinking we had the actual suitcase, we were gonna meet in the middle of no where.

Though in reality we had a fake suitcase with metal inside so.. yea

After Luther parked all we could do was wait. I looked out the window as Five broke the silence, "I never enjoyed it"

"What?" Luther looks at him

"The killing. I mean, I was... I was good at my work, and I... I took pride in it. But it never gave me pleasure." The boy sighs. "I think it was all those years alone. Solitude can do funny things to the mind."

"Yeah, well, you were gone for such a long time. I only spent four years on the moon, but that was more than enough." Luther says

"It's the being alone that breaks you." I fiddled with the ring Ben gave me

"You think they'll buy it?"

"Well, what I do know is that they're desperate. It's like a cop losing his gun. If the Commission finds out, they'll be in deep shit. Oh, not to mention the fact that they'll be stuck here until they get it back."

"Well, I should hold onto it."

"Hm?" We both hum

"In case they make a move on you."

"Okay, Luther, but be careful. I mean, I've... I've lived a long life, but... you're still a young man. You got your whole life ahead of you. Don't waste it."

"Well, I hate to break the 'brotherly moment' but someone's here"

Hmm... Here we go. If this all goes sideways, do me a favor Y/n, tell Delores I'm sorry.

"seriously?" I mumble under my breath getting out of the car and walking beside Five.

"Go back" "make me"

"The masks really necessary?" Five asks

"So where is it, kid?"

"Wow, that's how you're gonna start. You know, we can get right back in our car and call it a day."

"You won't even make it halfway there." Cha-Cha warns

"Maybe. But as I'm sure you found outin' your previous foray,-" I interrupt five

"our brother is not your average giant.- " 

Hazel comments, "He's right. You dropped a chandelier on him, got right back up."

"By the time you took him out, he'd smash your precious briefcase to a pulp."

"Probably us too, right? So, how do we help each other?"

"I need you to get in contact with your superior so I can have a chat with her.- Face-to-face.-"

Cha-Cha asks, "About what?"

"I don't believe that's any of your concern." I say, "Just don't tell her about the briefcase." He adds 

"Fair enough." Cha-Cha and Hazel go to the phone booth

"Is that her?" I ask

We see Klaus and Diego in an Ice cream truck, "What the hell is he doing here?"

"It's a setup!-" Cha-Cha and Hazel groan as their gun fires

Soon all sounds echo as time literally freezes

A blonde lady appears, "Neat trick, isn't it? Hello, Five. You look good, all things considered. It's good to see you again. Nice to finally meet you Eight. Feels like we met just yesterday. Course, you were a little bit older then. Congratulations on the age regression, by the way. Very clever.- Threw us all off the scent.-"

"Ah, well, I wish I could take credit. I just miscalculated the time dilation projections, and...Well, you know. Here I am. "

"I'm sorry, who are you?" I ask the grown ass lady flirting with Five

"Hi, I'm the Handler. Five, you realize your efforts are futile. So why don't you tell me what you really want? "

"I want you to put a stop to it."

"You realize what you're asking for is next to impossible, even for me. What's meant to be is meant to be. That's our raison d'être. Yeah?"

Five crosses his arms, "Well how about survival as a raison?"

"I'll just be replaced. I'm but a... small cog in a machine. This fantasy you've been nurturing about summoning up your family to stop the apocalypse...is just that. A fantasy. I must say, though, we're all quite impressed with your initiative, your...stick-to-itiveness, same with Eight here" She motions towards me, "really quite...quite something. Which is why we want to offer you two a new position back at the Commission, in management."

We laugh and say at the same time, "Sorry, what's that now?"

'Come back to work for us. It's where you guys belong. Well, it didn't work out too well the last time with Five" She adds, " But you wouldn't bein the correction division any longer. I'm talking about...the home office. You'd have the best health and pension, and an end to this ceaseless travel. You're a distinguished professional in...schoolboy shorts and skirts. We have the technology to reverse the process. I mean, you...you guys can't be happy like this."

"we're not looking for happy." I state, Five agreeing 

"We're all looking for happy. We can make that happen. We can make you...yourself again."

Five sighs, "And what about my family?"

"What about them?"

"We want them to survive."

"All of them?" She sighs

"Yes, all of them." We grit 

"Well...I'll see what I can do." She extends her hand towards us, "Do we have a deal?"

"One thing." Five says grabbing Hazel and Cha-Cha's gun and throwing it away

"Mm... no." I say looking at a bullet heading straight for Luther

"As much as I hate him" I say moving the bullet, "Ah."

We walk towards the Handler, disappearing in a blue vortex 

*whooshes and zaps*

The ice cream truck chimes start playing once more

"Good God!- Five?-" Klaus says getting up from the ground, "Oh! Ow!- Eight!"
