Stuck With You | Five Hargreeves

Chapter 34: Finding Allison

A/N: Hi everyone! It's been a while since I last did one of these 😅. I want to add some trigger warnings for this chapter which are mention of body dysmorphia and gore.

Enjoy the chapter!

—————=+=—————

It has been around an hour since Cassie left Klaus at the kitchen and she had managed to take a shower and get ready to get going on whatever Five had planned for the day. She just knew that it was a matter of minutes before Five knocked on her door or appeared inside her room so might as well be ready for anything.

Cassie looked into the mirror as she brushed her long dark blonde hair getting a little sense of nostalgia from it. The more the girl looked into the mirror the more her body dysmorphia started to kick in. After all, she wasn't even sure if she was going to be back in her 58 year old body any time soon.

All Cassie could wonder for now was that if she and the rest of the academy somehow manage to save the world how was she supposed to live life normally being trapped in her own 13 year old girl body. Maybe this was her chance to start over where she left off before she and Five disappeared, after all, she looked exactly the same as she did the day her life took a twist for the worse. The only problem was that her consciousness still followed her around, and deep inside she knew that if she and Five didn't find a way to solve the problem neither of them would have a real place in this timeline or any other for that matter.

The truth was that neither Five nor her had any idea how they both ended up in their 13 year old bodies the only theory the girl had was that Five's error in the equation might have caused it. Problem was that she had no idea how they would revert it without time traveling once again.

"Time to—." Five suddenly said as he spatial jumped inside Cassie's room catching her by surprise.

"Jesus fucking christ." Cassie flinched as soon as she heard Five's voice and turned around to look at the boy who was now standing inside her room. "You need to stop doing that." The girl said shaking her head.

"Why?" Five replied raising an eyebrow. After all, he liked using his powers for whatever he found fitting.

"I could have been naked." The girl stated crossing her arms.

"And...?" Five said looking back at her. "It wouldn't be anything that I haven't seen before." The boy blurted out.

"Yeah, but it definitely wasn't while I looked like a child." Cassie stated knowing that the situations were completely different. "Not to mention that if you saw me naked right now that would feel illegal." She said shaking her face getting disturbed by the thought of it.

"Okay, I'm sorry." Five said realizing that Cassie had made a very valid point. "You are right about that. It would feel very illegal." The boy said shaking his head as well. "Anyway, back to the reason I am here in the first place. I did some thinking and what are the chances Dad knew about the end of the world." He said pacing back and forth around Cassie's room.

"I had that exact same thought an hour ago when Pogo told us the truth about what happened... The only problem to that theory is that I can't seem to find any logical answer to it." Cassie said honestly knowing that it was almost impossible for Mr. Hargreeves to know about the impending apocalypse.

"So you think it was just a coincidence?" Five said turning to look at Cassie.

"Well, yeah. Pogo said the old man wanted your siblings to get back home so they could have their little reunion, but there is no way he could have known we were also going to show up that very same day. It sounds too good to be true, so it has to be a coincidence." Cassie shrugged. "I guess that what matters is that we are all here now. Exactly how 'Dad' intended to." Cassie said looking at Five as she sat on her bed.
