Gone 2 Long (Number Five)

World's Biggest Ball of Twine

I woke up the next morning feeling a little refreshed. I for once had the weight of the world off of my shoulders and could sleep without the worrisome thoughts nagging in my brain.

I threw on some jeans and a jacket and some back converse and made my way down to the lobby to meet my brothers, "That little delinquent is your son?" I heard Klaus ask Diego as I walked up next to him. "What?" I asked. "Allegedly my son."

"AHAHAHAHA BAHAHAHA! It sucks to be you!" I said laughing with tears in my eyes. "What I thought girls like kids?" "Haha no fuck those little brats." "That's so funny!" Klaus laughed.

"You don't want kids?" I heard Fives voice and turned around. I saw his god awful outfit. "Ya know if I hadn't just turned around and seen this," I gestured to his outfit, "I might have been whiling to discuss it but now that I've seen this fashion disaster I am not willing to multiply with you." I said flicking the edge of his fedora and sitting down. He looked offended. "While that was mean it's fine I wasn't too sure I wanted any either...anyway who's the mother?" Five asked Diego.

"Lila." "Excuse me?" Klaus said. "Come again?" I asked. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, Lila's here?" Five asked. "Was. She dropped him off in my lap last night then bolted." "I don't much care for that one." Klaus told him. "Don't." Diego threatened. "Technically, she's family." Five stated.

"She was trying to murder us, like, yesterday." Klaus pointed out. "Who isn't?" I asked rhetorically. "Yeah, like I said, family. Diego, is she coming back?" Five asked while setting his drink down. "Well, she goddamn better be because we got more important things to be dealing with right now!" Klaus hushed him.

Then Vanya walked in looking very different. "Where's Luther?" "Who cares? Probably out for...a run." Diego said finally noticing Vanya. "Mmm! Love the haircut." Klaus said. "Dito!" I said taking a sip of my Mamosa. Vanya smiled.

"So I, uh, talked to Marcus last night." "Wait, what? You talked with the enemy? By yourself?" Diego asked. "Somebody had to do something." "Who elected you, Vanya?" "It's, uh, Viktor." He corrected. "Who's Viktor?" Diego asked. "I am. It's who I've always been. Uh, is that an issue for anyone?" "No and it never will be, Viktor." I said to him. "Nah, I'm good with it." Diego said. "Yeah, me too. Cool." Klaus said. "Truly happy for you, Viktor. But last time I checked, you don't speak for this family."

I smacked Five upside the head knocking his fedora off. "We excluded him his entire life and now that he is finally accepted as being an member you pull this shit the day he comes out. Boy have ya lost ya mind cause I'll help you find it!" I told him has he picked his hat up.

He looked to the others. "What are you looking at them for. They can't help you. Jesus can come through that door and he ain't gonna help you!" He just nodded. "That's what I thought."

"Okay, well, it's fine, okay? Marcus totally gets it. He doesn't want a war any more that we do." Viktor said sitting down. "What are you talking about? He tried to homicide us!" "So did Lila, and you had a kid with her." Klaus pointed out. "That's not the point!" "Yes it is." I stated.

"Listen we made a deal. He's gonna give back Five's briefcase, then we're gonna get out of the timeline. We're gonna meet later today for the, uh, the handover." "Oh, thank God!" Klaus said while Five smiled and so did I.

"That's a rookie move. Dude is playing you." Diego said. "Oh really?" "Yeah, but maybe we can use this. And we turn it back on them, and then we wipe them the hell out." "Diego, stop, please. And you're not gonna, like, do anything today." Viktor groaned.

"Except bond with your spawn." Klaus added. "Alleged spawn." "I will get the briefcase, and then we will all go back and fix the timeline." "Hey, we're not going anywhere! This is a perfectly acceptable timeline." Five argued.
