The Missing Love! (Five Hargreeves x Number X)

.12.

We are walking in an alleyway with me in Diego's arms all bloody and cut up. We have been silent the whole walk, and me occasionally slipping out of my consciousness. I believe we have been walking for about 30 minutes or more. I could tell there was tears in Diego's eyes but it seemed as he didn't want me to see them since he kept him head held high.

" Diego" I said, my voice coming out hoarse. You could barley recognize my voice. He looked down at me, telling me to continue. " Thank you." 

"For what. I was the reason you got kidnaped. I let you go by yourself. I-" Diego rambled but was cut of by me.

" Hey. It's aright. It wasn't your fault. It wasn't anyone's fault." I told him. I lifted my hand to wipe away the tears that were now streaming down him face. " Thank you for being there for me."  A light smile appearing on his face as those words spilled out of my mouth. 

" Your welcome D" He looked back up as we continued to walk down the dark roads.

About 20 minutes later we arrived at a gym, a boxing one to be exact. I was loosing my consciousness slowly once again as we entered the building and went down some stairs. As we wandered down the hall I heard voices echoing from a room a couple steps from us. At first the voices were muffled but as we entered the room I knew exactly who those voices belonged too. Five and Luther. We stood in the doorway for a good minutes or two before they noticed us.

They looked us up and down, studying the states we were in. Diego's eyes were puffy with dried tears and new tears falling down his face. Me looking dead with all of the cuts and blood that invaded my body. We weren't in the best of states at the moment. I could see the tears falling from Five's eyes. 

Diego started to walk down the stairs slowly, careful not to hurt me. No one said a word. I don't think anyone of them knew what to say. The more walked into the room the more anger I could sense in Diego. Luther waked over to us, taking me away from Diego and setting me on the bed. Five hurried over to me, sitting in the spot next to me. 

" Piece of shit. Do you have any idea what you just did?" Diego erupted, rushing towards Five but got stopped by Luther picking him up before he could reach him. He struggled to get out of his grip, yelling words out in the process.

"I can do this as long as it takes you to calm down" Luther said calmly still holding Diego. He finally stopped flailing around and muttered a 'Fine' which made Luther drop him back to the ground. 

" Now, wanna tell us what you're talkin' about?" I heard Luther ask him. I was still hanging onto my consciousness but I was still there.

" Our brother's been pretty busy since he got back. He was in the middle of that shootout at Griddy's, and then at Gimble Brothers, after the guys in masks attacked the Academy, looking for him." Diego told them but mostly to Luther. Five was still sat next to me, holding my hand.

" None of which is any of your concern." Five told him 

" It is now. They just killed my friend. And almost killed our sister." Diego said looking down at me with guilt and sadness.

" Who are they Five?" Luther asked him. I saw Five have a bit of hesitation on his face, like he was contemplating on telling us something. I squeezed his hand showing him that he wasn't alone.

" They work for my former employer. A woman called The Handler. She sent them... to stop me. Then as soon as Diego's friend got in the way, well, fair game." Five explained.

" Well now they're my fair game. And I'm going to see t it they pay." Diego said to him before heading to the stairs that led to the exit of the room.
