I'm Stuck! [The Umbrella Academy : Five Hargreeves X Reader]

Chapter Four

[Name] entered the room that was apparently next to Klaus' room, noticing that it's quite clearly a guest room with only a single bed and a wardrobe with a study table in it.

She couldn't help but also muse about her mom and two brothers, how they were faring knowing that she was just with them a few hours ago. As much as she has loved being with the Hargreeves, it doesn't mean she can just abandon her family like that.

"[Name] hurry up! We're gonna be late!" Called her brother. She sighed in exasperation as she double checked her backpack, making sure everything she needed was in there. It had her phone, charger, wallet, alcohol, cologne, an extra shirt, etc. Just the necessities.

They were about to have a day off at a small town in the mountains that was a few hours away from them, her mom being invited by a family friend to join them.

The girl walked down the stairs, seeing the black van and walking towards them with an excited smile. It's been a while since they've been out of the city.

She joined her mom who was talking with a friend, laughing about something when she suddenly felt as if something was wrong. She gazed at them both in confusion, trying to stop a grimace as her mom seemed to have noticed what was happening with her.

She thought it was anxiety for whatever that was about to happen, and she wanted for it to stop, thinking repeatedly for the feeling to cease because it was odd, only for her to then feel as if she was being pulled inside out.

Suddenly, she felt as if she was falling. And then, she hit the ground, hard. Looked up and saw a bunch of strangers. Kinda.

She suddenly bolted out of her reverie as she remembered she asked Five about being brought back but no reply came from him. Maybe she'll just ask him again tomorrow.

[Name] opened her eyes, confusion written in her expression as she gazed at her surroundings, momentarily forgetting where she was. Once she remembered, she couldn't help but groan in frustration as she stood up, thinking it was all just a dream.

She completely forgot she had her small backpack with her until she saw it laying on the table. Grace must have seen it and brought it to her room, she thought as she walked to it and checked. Her phone was still there with 76% left on its battery, her sighing in thanks to herself for having the forethought of bringing her charger, but then in distress as she again remembered that maybe electrical sockets doesn't exist here yet.

After [Name] finished showering, wearing a white midi frilly skirt that was apparently from Vanya and a long sleeved black shirt paired with what she would only assume was the vest in their old uniform, and went down to the kitchen.

She found Grace cooking there with Klaus seemingly ready to give up on life. Probably had no more drugs left then, she mused as she nodded at the both of them in greeting, sitting down next to Klaus.

"So you know the future, right?" Klaus asked, frowning then looking over his shoulder muttering, "Yeah I know, shut up."

"Uhm, yes?"

"So do you know something about an ornate box with pearl inlay?" He tentatively asked with a smile that seemed almost like a grimace.

She frowned at him in confusion first before she remembered what it was about. "Oh my God! You still threw it away?" She whisper-yelled, causing Klaus to cover her mouth with a hand and shush her.

"Yes, yes, so now where is it?"

She bit her lip in distress as she realized the fuse for the apocalypse would apparently still happen.
