WEDNESDAY 8.15am

The moping red-head planted, stomach down, on the couch, feet kicking, cheek on her knuckles. She had been called to other family meeting, of a family she wasn't even apart of. But the only thing her mind circled back to, the podium of her crowded thoughts, Five. The boy had been gone not even a day, and her body ached with worry for him.

"Three days?" Allison passed around coffees.

"That's what Five said." Clarified Luther, accepting the hot beverage.

"The old bastard did mention the apocalypse, come to think of it." Klaus pondered, getting comfortable on the floor, "He just left out the part of how soon."

"No he didn't." Echo grumbled, shutting her eyes, "He told you ten days."

"But can we trust him?" Three debated, "I don't know if you've noticed, but Five a little..." She twirled her finger at her head and whistled, to symbolize crazy.

The druggie chuckled, "Our little psycho."

"He was pretty convincing." Luther defended, "If he wasn't trying to stop the apocalypse from happening, then those two lunatics wouldn't be chasing him."

"That's why they're after him." Diego quired.

The ginger raised her hand, "Oh, and cause I'm here..."

"What did Five even see?" Allison wondered, although Echo believed that they should really be asking her these questions, she knew Five more than any of them.

"Uh...Apparently, we all fought together against whoever was responsible." The bulky man swallow, falling into a panicked silence. All his siblings stared at him to continue, he awkwardly stood, "Okay, so here's the plan. Uh, we go through Dad's research-..."

"Wait, what?"..."Hold on, Hold on.".....Wait a tick, wait a tick, wait a tick." All the other siblings jumped in. "What actually happened the first time around?" Klaus pushed.

"Yeah. What are you not tellin' us?" Diego pressured, "Come on, big boy, spit it out."

"We died." The man murmur at a speed and level no one could hear, sticking the coffee cup to his mug.

"What was that?" Allison itched.

"Ugh, you died!" Echo snatched a pillow from behind her, laying her grumpy head down, "See, that wasn't so hard, now was it?" The Hargreeves blanked at her, the tense quiet being broken by the yelps of Klaus as an umbrella falls and opens from the upper floor.

"Hey." A timid voice caught the families attention, they all turned to Vanya and a man, the ginger shoving her face into the pillow, "What's going on?"
