In The Future | Five Hargreeves

25 | Cornfield

Five refused to even take a nap and told her the apocalypse is more important than resting. She sighed heavily knowing he wouldn't obey because of his stubbornness and also stayed up with Elliott who was eating his cereal.

She placed Five's coffee on the table and he immediately drinks it like a boy needing for water. He licked his lips, adjusting to the new taste of coffee, finding it the best and addicting more than it already is.

"Elliott's new blend?" he asked

"Actually, it's my blend." she smirked, knowing Five would like it since he always drinks it every morning when they were married.

"Elliott, can you please eat more properly?" she requested when she saw him eating while working again.

"Yeah, just a second." he answered before drinking coffee.

Elliott suddenly heard a buzz and a red light, "Hey, we got one." he exclaimed "Hey, one of those machines you asked for is going crazy." he called again as the two ran to him.

"Which one?" Five asked

"It's the, uh, atmospheric radar."

The two leaned into the screen, "Good." Y/N whispered "I don't get it. What are you tracking? A hurricane? A storm front?" Elliott asked.

"Sound waves." Five answered with a smile.

"Sound waves." Elliott repeated, "Wow. What—" he said until noticing that the two were already gone.

The two arrived at a cornfield as Five went inside followed by Y/N who was in confusion. "Are you sure she's here? You can't really trust technologies these days. They aren't well-developed yet." she asked while trying to keep on his pace.

Five did not answer but rather smiled when he saw a figure hiding in one of the corn grass.

"Hi, Vanya." he greeted as the girl frowned.

"Who are you?" she asked and stood up

"I'm your brother." Five answered "I have a brother?" she questioned and looked at the girl, "And a sister?" she added, a bit of happiness in her eyes when she saw the girl, "Oh, no. I'm not a sibling. Just an old friend." Y/N corrected with a slight chuckle.

"Look, you can either stay here and wait for the IKEA mafia to come back to kill you, or you can come with me." Five said before walking back while the two followed her.

"W-why are they trying to kill me?" Vanya questioned "'Cause your not supposed to be here, Vanya." he answered, "In Dallas?" she asked "No. Here, in 1963." Y/N replied as they saw the cornfields dead, seeing a huge round like someone dropped a bomb.

"Holy shit." Vanya whispered

"Yeah, pretty wild, right?" Five smirked "It's good to see your powers are still intact. Let's go." he added and continued walking.

They arrived at a coffee shop where Five ordered coffee once again, she tried to stop him, and yet he was too stubborn once again. The waitress didn't seem to like them or just don't like people at all.

"Leave the pot, dear." Five said with a smile and the woman gave him the pot "Lippy little shit." she whispered before leaving.
