chapter forty seven: clearing the air

Somehow all of the Hargreeves wound up back together at Elliott's place, all of them making their way back and standing around the store to watch the news broadcast. Anthony closed his eyes as he sat on one of the steps, his head resting against Five's hip, who stood against the railing next to him. They both stayed silent as they just listened to the tv, feeling the tension between themselves.

"Authorities are asking for help identifying several persons of interest at Dealey Plaza at the time of the assassination, the FBI believes they may have been acting in concert with the alleged shooter Lee Harvey Oswald" the reporter read out on the old television before holding up a photo "Vanya Hargreeves wanted in connection with the deaths of several FBI agents inside the federal building"

He then held up another photo "A Cuban exile known only as Diego who recently escaped from the Holbrook Sanitarium" the reported read out.

"Cuban?" Diego repeated.

"He is also believed to be working together with local teenager who goes by the name Anthony" the man continued "They were seen conspiring together at the sanitarium, the two are believe to be brothers and are presumed to have fled together"

Anthony smiled slightly "Damn our mother really has some explaining to do" he commented.

"I think you're probably the mailman's kid" Diego replied with a nod "Only real explanation here"

"A bare knuckle boxer with suspected Mafia ties who fights under the alias 'King Kong'" the man continued as he held up a photo of Luther with Jack Ruby "Allison Chestnut, a Negro radical responsible for instigating and organizing the recent riots at Stadler's lunch counter"

Allison shook her head in disbelief "Finally Klaus, a controversial cult leader and know tax evader" he held up another photo "The FBI is asking the public to be on the lookout for this unidentified boy, who they believe is being hold hostage by the suspected terrorist network"

Number Five shrugged "Well it's true, I do feel like I'm being held hostage most days" he said, subconsciously uncrossing his arms to bring one of his hands into Anthony's hair, the boy looking up and smiling at him at the action.

"God I hate that photo" Diego muttered.

"They're saying I instigated the riot?" Allison pressed her hands together and scoffed "That's unbelievable"

Anthony shook his head "I hate those bastards"

Luther sighed "Look the good news is that we restored the timeline and we stopped doomsday" he tried his best to lighten the situation, but his efforts didn't mean anything to anyone.

"Yeah a bunch of real goddamn heroes" Diego agreed sarcastically "We still let Kennedy die"

"And now we're officially the most wanted people in the world" Allison added "The FBI is after us, the Dallas police, the secret service? I mean it's only a matter of time before the hunt us down here"

"Well where are we supposed to go?" Vanya asked.

Klaus made his way down the stairs "I have this yurt just outside Reykjavik we could totally lay low there for a while" he suggested "The folks there are a little weird but overall they're lovely"
