Fighting Fate ~ Five H. x Reader ⚠️ DISCONTINUED ⚠️

s1 e8

A bell rings all throughout the hallways

"Jesus, whos making that noise?" I tiredly asked

"Raise And Shine Dear Sibling Of Mine!" Klaus voice echoes

'wait were am I?'

Last time I check we entered Peabody's house. I look around to see I was in the infirmary bedroom. To my right I see five and, dear good, Dolores.

"Five?"

"I'm awake" He simply responds

"You okay?" "I should be asking you that"

"Eight! Five! Come on, stop making out up there!" Klaus screams

I stand up and go over to five, extending my hand. He takes it and spatial jumps us into the kitchen.

Five grabs Luther's coffee. "Sorry, Ben" I say grabbing the cup Klaus laid out for him

'it's okay' he laughs

'is he sober?' 'well, technically

"Jesus who do I have to kill to get a decent cup of coffee?"

"Can we get started?"

"Anyone seen any of the others? Diego? Allison? No? All right, then, this is the closest thing to a quorum...that we're gonna get. Now, listening up. There's no easy way to say this, so I'm just gonna spit it out."

'This is a bad idea.' I hear ben say

"Yeah."

"Klaus." Luther says

"I conjured Dad last night."  

"You said you haven't been able to conjure anyone in years." Luther says

"Ah, yes, I know, but I'm sober. Ta-da! I got clean, yesterday, to talk to someone special, and then ended up having this... conversation with dear old Daddy himself."

"Has anyone got some aspirin?" Five asks

"Yeah, top shelf, next to the crackers." I say

"Hey, hey, hey. This is serious, guys, all right?," Luther sighs. "This really happened, I swear."

"okay, fine. I'll play. What did the old man have to say?"

"Well, he gave me the usual lecture about my appearance and my failures in life. Yada yada yada. No surprise there. Even the afterlife couldn't soften a hardass like Dad, right? But he did mention something about his murder, or lack thereof, because... Wait for it...he killed himself."

"I don't have time for your games, Klaus."

"I'm telling you the truth, Luther. I'm telling you the truth." He whines

"Why'd he do it, then?"

"He said it was the only way to get us all home again."

"No. Dad wouldn't just kill himself."

"Ah, you said it yourself. He was depressed."  Holed up in his office and room all day and night.

"No. There weren't any signs."

"Suicidal people exhibit certain tendencies, strange behaviors. Like being hold up in their room, or in this case his office, al day everyday and night. And like sending someone to the Moon for no reason?" I explain

"Of course you would know that" Luther scoffs at me

"Excuse me?"

"I swear to God, Klaus, if you're lying..." He ignores me

"I'm not. I'm not."

"Master Klaus is correct. Regretfully... [sighs] ...I helped Master Hargreeves enact his plan." Pogo appears

"What?"

"So did Grace. It was a difficult choice for both of us. More difficult than you could ever know. Prior to your father's death, Grace's programming was adjusted so that she was incapable of administering first aid on that fateful night."

"Sick bastard." Five and I say

"So the security tape we saw?"

"It was meant to further the murder mystery."

We all scoff.

"Your father hoped that being back here, solving it together...would reignite your desire to be a team again."

"And to what end?" I ask

"To save the world, of course."

Luther laughs, "All right. First the Moon mission and now this. You watched me search for answers and said nothing. Anything else you want to share, Pogo? Any other damn secrets?" He shouts

"Hey, why don't you go ahead and calm down, Luther." I lift my brows at him

"No, I won't calm down. We've been lied to by the one person in this family we all trusted."

"It was your father's dying wish, Master Luther. I... I had no choice."

"There's always choice." Luther says walking away

Five grabs my hands, "I gotta think." 

He takes me to his room

"Can't believe this shit" I complain

"What did Luther mean?" He looks at me

I chuckle a bit, "what do you mean?"

"Of course you would know that" He quotes at me, "What did he mean by that, Eight?"

"We don't have time for this Five, we need to get going. The worlds is literally about to end, and you wanna het stuck on something our literal ape brother said." I scoff, "I'll see you in 5"

I walk out of the room and head to mine, changing back into my uniform.

I reconnect with Five as we head towards Klaus's room

 "Hey. Get up. We're going." Five tells Klaus

"Where?"

"To save the world." I respond

"Oh, is that all? Great."

"So, Pogo said Dad killed himself to get us all back together, right?"

"Yeah, so?"

"So it got us thinking. I had to jump to the future to figure out when it happened, but Dad, he can't time travel. So how'd the crazy bastard actually know to kill himself a week before the end of the world?"

"Well, you know..."

"Don't answer. That was purely rhetorical. Truth is, our whole lives, he's been telling us we'd save the world from an impending apocalypse."

"Yeah, but I always thought he just said that to scare us into doing the dishes."

"Yea me too. But what if the old man really knew it was going to happen?"

"Yeah, but knew how?"

"No idea. But the fact remains, his fakakta plan worked. We all came home. We're here, we might as well save the world."

"Oh yeah? What, like, the three of us?"

"Uh, well, ideally, no, but... gotta work with what I've got."

We all try to find Diego as we hear footsteps

"Where have you been?" I ask

"Jail." We all stare at him. "Long story. Where's Luther?"

"Haven't seen him since breakfast." Five and I respond

"Yeah. Two days until the world ends, he picks a great time to drop off the grid."

"Shit. Allison is in danger."
