Protective

Part 33

How long did he really mean, when he said forever?

----------

"Vanya causes the apocalypse." 

Well there is no surprise there. If I had grown up the way she had, I'd probably end the world too. I thought to myself. 

Suddenly there were sirens, and lights. 

"Shit. C'mon we have to go! re-group at super star." Luther said before we ran off.

Five grabbed my shaky hand, and we blinked to a bowling alley. We were shortly joined by Luther and Allison, Diego and Klaus.

I was sitting next to the boy when he suddenly placed his hand gently on my bouncing leg. 

"Calm down, we can end this." He spoke in my ear. I gave an unconvincing nod and smile. 

I stood up- Five's hand falling to his side. "Where are you going?" He questioned me. 

"C'mon Five." I said holding a hand out to him, my eyes faced towards the lane. Not really caring if he took it or not.

"No thanks. I'd rather gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon." He replied with a snarl. 

"Drama queen." I rolled my eyes and walked off to get a ball. 

It had been a couple of minutes, I had gotten one strike, I think. I've never actually played bowling before, but I'd like to think I'm pretty good at it. I turned around to see someone walk up to the Hargreeves and ask if Five would like to play with kids his own age. I gave a small chuckle.  

"I'd rather chew off my own foot." I heard the boy sneer. 

I walked back to the group just in time to see the poor lady's face in response to Five's rude statement.

"I'm so sorry about him." I apologized to the lady and her son. 

"Is it nap time already?" I turned to Five; whose face was going red.

The pair walked away, I turned back around to see Five's face. "Don't give me that look." I said sitting down beside him. 

"You're an asshole." He said wrapping his arm around me. 

"You're the one to talk." I scoffed. We sat there for a few more minutes. 

Klaus and Diego were sitting across from us making disgusted faces. 

Suddenly Five got up, and ran towards the ball area. 

"Oh!? So now you wanna play?" I shouted across to him. 

He opened a latch and pulled out a cylinder shaped thing. 

My breath caught in my throat. And my heart skipped a beat, as I realized what that was. The Commission. The Handler, Evan. 

I slowly got up and walked to Five. "What is it?" I asked him in a shaky voice.

"It's an address. I have to go." He said looking into my eyes. 

I shook my head, "Please, don't." I grabbed onto his blazer sleeve.

"I won't be long... I promise." He said before giving me a small kiss on the head. 

Five's POV

I looked into Janessa's frightened eyes. She was scared for me? Or was she scared of loosing me? I gave her one last kiss.

I blinked to where the Handler wanted to meet me. It was quite inconvenient, she has never wanted to 'meet with me', it's risky on her part.
