Five's pov:

I wake up with Luther in my face and it seems like he has been trying to wake me up with made me frown.
"What do you want Luther? I'm not leaving y/n's side I have already told you that" I say in a sleepy voice.
"Didn't you forget we have to go meet dad?" Luther says which causes me to sit up a little.
"Hm.. ok" I go over to the table which had a piece of paper and a pen and I wrote y/n a note and placed it on the table in front of her.

We got invited to dinner with our father will be back soon, love you.

-Five

I walked up to the building holding the invitation in my hand and I walked into a elevator but as soon as the door was about to shut Diego came in.
"Wait up" He says as he grabs the door and walks in.
"Hold it" Allison runs into the elevator along with Klaus, Vanya and Luther.
"Hey everyone!" Klaus takes a sip of his vodka in a bag.
"Excuse me" Luther struggles to get in and of course he stands at the front.
"Good we're all here." I say surprised with a happy smile on my face.
It was a long silence until Luther grunts softly and a disgusting smell feels the air and I look around scrunching up my nose. Everybody grunts as they use a piece of clothing to cover the nostrils.
"Sorry I'm nervous" He says not looking back at any of them.
As the elevator dings everybody runs out "Nasty! I'm choking." I groan as I gasp for clean air. As everybody gets in I turn to face them. "Alright when dad gets here, I'll do the talking, ok?"
"I got a few questions for him myself" Diego says as he walks towards the table.
"Hey, we don't wanna scare him off, alright? He might be able to help us stop doomsday and get us home"
"No five, we need to figure out why he's planning to kill the president"
"This is a matter of life and death you imbecile!"
"Oh- ok yeah, maybe we should take turns talking, yeah? Here, whoever has got this conch will get to talk" Vanya says holding a conch up.
"Vanya we don't have the time for a debate ok?" I say as I swing my arms out.
"Maybe I should lead. We all know I'm a better public speaker than the rest" Allison says as she walks down and grabs the conch from Vanya.
"Ok daddy's girl" Diego says as he turns to sit down.
"Oh, jealous, number two?" Allison asks with a small smirk.
"Hey! No more numbers. No more bullshit, we're team zero. We're all team zero" Diego says as he walks up to Allison.
"Uh, Diego. You don't have the conch" Luther says as he sits down.
Diego nods and takes the conch of Allison and throws it at the wall and it smashes to pieces. A few seconds later dad storms in with a notebook and i watch every step he makes and I'm sure we all have the same sort of feelings right now. Everybody sits down to listen to what he is going to say.
"Not only have you burglarised my lab, set my chimp loose, conned your way into the Mexican consulate, repeatedly stalked and attacked me, but you have, on numerous occasions called me.."
As he was about to finish Klaus sits down with a cocktail still drunk. "Oh hey pop. How's it hanging'?"
"...dad. My reconnaissance tells me you're not CIA, not KGB certainly not MI5 so...who are you?" Dad asks as he folds his arms and looks around.
"We're your children" I say breaking the silence. "We're from the future. In 1989 you adopted us all and trained us to fight against the end of the world. Called us the umbrella academy."
"Why on earth would I adopt six-" He goes to say.
"Seven. One of us isn't here" Allison says as she looks down.
"Dead." Diego finished her sentence.
"Regardless.. what would possess me to adopt seven I'll-mannered malcontents?" Dad finishes in a harden tone.
"We all have special abilities."
"Special? In what sense?" He asks getting quite determined.
"In the super power sense" Luther finishes.
"Called me old-fashioned, but I'm a stickler for a pesky little thing called evidence.. show me" He says looking at everybody.
"Everybody wants to see powers all of a sudden" Allison scoffs.
"We're not circus animals, ok? We're not gonna bounce balls on our noses and clap our hands like seals for your amusement." Luther says but as he was about to say more Diego throws his knife towards him but it's goes straight past his face and onto a pillar he didn't even aim it at.
After that trick, dad starts writing down in his notebook he brung and everybody tries to look over to see what he is writing.
"What are you writing?" Diego asks whilst leaning over to see.
"You are zero for two, young man." He says whilst writing at the same time.
Allison's snorts and Diego goes to charge at dad but I get up and teleport in front of him to stop him.
"Stop!" I whisper to him.
"Now that is interesting." He says whilst looking at me.
"All right, uh, quick run down. Luther: super strength. Klaus: can commune with the dead. Allison: can rumor anyone to do anything.-" I explain as I sit back down in my chair.
"Except she never uses it" Diego says harshly.
Allison sighs. "I heard a rumor you punched your self in the face." As Diego punches himself and groans she takes a sip of her drink loud staring at him.
"And you?' Dad asks looking over at Vanya.
"Uh, maybe we don't take Vanya for a test run" Luther says whilst putting his hand on Vanya's shoulder.
"Oh, yeah, that's probably not a good idea." Klaus adds on.
"It's fine. I can handle it" Vanya says as she picks up a fork and hits it on her glass cup creating sound waves.
"Handle it? Last time you handled it, you definitely blew up the moon." Allison says kind of nervous.
"No, Vanya don't!" I say as everybody yells at her to not do it.
As she uses her power she makes the fruit bowl in the middle of the table to explode and go all over us including dad.
"This is my favourite shirt. Wow." Klaus mutters as we all scrape off the fruit that's on us.
"Oops" Vanya mumbles.
"That was impressive" Luther says raising a eyebrow.
Allison switches her straws and dad fixes his monocal (idk how to spell it lol).
Diego stands up and leans over the table "Look we know that you're involved in a plot to assassinate the president."
"You were recently hospitalised, isn't that correct? You still appear to be suffering from delusions of granduer and acute paranoia" Dad says harshly as everybody looks at Diego who looks like he is about to lose it.
"Am I? Explain this" He says as he takes out the picture of dad and places it in front of him. "That's you. That's two days from now on the grassy knoll at the exact spot the president is gonna get shot."
"Well.. I suppose you have solved it. You've single-handedly unearthed my nefarious plot. Is that what you want to hear? You fancy your self a do-gooder? The last good man who will save us from our descent into corruption and conspiracy? This is a fantastic delusion. The sad reality is that you're a desperate man, tragically unaware of his own insignificance, desperately clinging to his own ineffectual reasoning. More succinctly, a man in over his head." Dad says to Diego making him sit down with tears in his eyes.
"Y-You're wr-wrong" Diego stutters on his words, and everybody looks at him feeling bad.
"Look forget about the president. We have a catastrophic war coming in five days. We need to figure out how to stop it." I explain to him catching his surprise.
"War? Men will always be at war with each other" He says in disbelief.
"No, this isn't just some war. I'm talking about a doomsday. The end of the world." I sigh not breaking I contact from him.
"Well.. you're the special ones, aren't you? Why don't you band together and do something about it?" He says causing everybody to glare at him.
But then Klaus grunts and falls to the floor wiggling about.
"Is he having a seizure" Allison asks backing away slightly.
"Overdosing probably" Diego mutters.
"Should we do something?" Luther asks quietly.
"Klaus! Now is not the time. What are you doing" I yell in a whisper.
"I'm-" Klaus tries to speak.
"Out with it boy!" Dad shouts.
"Benn!" Klaus shouts as he falls to the floor and shudders.
"Well.. thank you for coming. I've seen about enough." Dad says as he gets up and is about to leave.
"No i-" Luther says as he tries to get his attention but he just walks away, so he slams his fists on the table and stands up. He tears his shirt of revealing his gorilla world. "Look at what you did to me. Look at it!" Dad turns around and frowns.
"Oh, shit. Why?" I mumble as I fall back in my chair in disgust.
Dad looks over at me "You in the culottes. A word, in private?"

"You seem to be the sensible one of the bunch." He says as he places his stuff down.
"Ah that's because I'm the oldest." He looms at me in confusment. "Well technically I'm older than you right now.."
"Cognac?" He asks grabbing a cup.
"Just a smidge" I say as he pours me a cup.
"The other night you quoted homer at me. Why?"
"You forced us all to learn it as kids. In the original Greek, no less."
He raises his cup and I raise mine as we both take a sip.
"This worlds ends I'm five days if we don't get out of the timeline."
"Worlds end. Paleozoic, Jurassic, and so on."
"We can do something about this one." I place my cup down.
"Mans greatest flaw: the illusion of control"
"I need your help. Alright? Your my last same option. Otherwise, I gotta make a deal that I really don't wanna make. What do you know about time travel?"
"In theory?"
"In practise."
"I know it's akin to descending blindly. Into the depths of freezing waters and reappearing-"
"As an acorn. Yeah."
"What transpired when you tried travelling before?"
"I botched it"
"How?"
"I jumped too far forward, got stuck in the future for 45 years in an apocalypse. Then I jumped too far backwards except this time I brought my entire family with me."
"Maybe your appetite is disproportionate to the size of your abilities.. start small. Seconds, not decades"
"Seconds?.. look, no offense, but I need a bit more time for what I'm trying to accomplish."
"So much can change in a matter of seconds. One could overthrow an empire. One could fall in love." As he said about love I smiled to myself thinking of y/n. "An acorn doesn't become oak overnight."
"I was really hoping you had more than that."
"I'm sorry I can't be more help."
"I'm sorry too.. I gave you such a hard time as a kid. I didn't know any better."
"Hm.. no skim off my teeth, old man." He takes a sip of his drink and I take mine and drink the rest of it.
