The umbrella academy: In which Five gets all the love he deserves

Untitled Part 77

Five said that he would never put a foot in that place as long as he lives. Never. But then here he was. Back at the Commission. Herb and Dott had contacted him and asked him for help on how to improve the Commission. Five refused on spot. Said that he doesn't want to have anything to do with them anymore. But unfortunately, he was not alone when he spoke with them.

"Five. You need to go"Diego said and he raised one hand when his brother tried to talk. "No. Listen to me. You need to go because you can give them ideas on how to improve the Commission in a good way"

"The Commission is full of assassins Diego. There's no good in them."

"You don't know that Five"

"Oh. I know. Have you forgotten that I was part of them before"

"And you changed. You are not a cold-hearted killer. Lila changed too"Five groaned when he heard the name of his brother's girlfriend. After they returned from '63, the woman had decided to stick around with them to Diego's delight and Five complete annoyance. "Plus Herb and Dott helped us go back. Remember?" That's true. But that doesn't mean that he wants to go there. "And you don't need to go alone. I will come with you"

"What? No. It's dangerous" He doesn't want his brother in that place again. Not anymore.

Diego rolled his eyes. "You get pissed at me and say that you are more capable of protecting yourself when I told you the same thing when you ask me to come with me to patrol. Now I tell you the same thing. I'm more than capable of protecting myself from some assassins"

Five insisted for Diego to not come with him and Diego insisted back to tag along. In the end, Diego won and Five agreed. Mostly because if he listened more to Diego he would have bashed his head against the wall. So Five grabbed his wrist and he teleported them both to the Commission building. Diego spotted Lila and he immediately went to her, with a dumb lovesick look, forgetting that Five was even there. Groaning Five started to make his way to Herb's office. He could see some people looking dirty at him but he ignored them. He knew very well that half or maybe more, of the Commission would not be pleased that he had killed not only the Handler but the old board as well. Arriving at the office he knocked before he walked in.

"Mr. Number Five, "Herb said as he stood up with a smile. "You are here"

"Unfortunately."Five said as he walked inside and he sat down on the brown leather couch.

"So. You agreed to help us?"Dott asked.

"Yes. I have some ideas. You agree with them and make sure that your employees follow them and I will offer help in the future as well"Five said and Herb and Dott looked at each other happily.

"Alright. Mr. Number Five. Let's hear them"He rb said as he sat down.

Five leaned over with his elbows on his knees and he spoke seriously. "The first one. You need to stop with the killings"

"But they are assassins. That's what they do"Herb protested.

"Alright. Fine. They can still do it. But not everyone. From now on when you sent someone to fix a mistake to the timeline make sure that the person who fucked it, is a bad person. Like a criminal or a hitman or someone with ill intentions. You can kill them. But if the person who did it is someone innocent then don't. Make sure that you fixed without harming the person because they are not at fault. They didn't know what they did" Even with his killer ADN in him, Five always felt and still felt guilty for all the people that he had killed. Well, the innocent ones anyway. And you know what was the worst part? That some of them were just children. And he had to kill them in cold blood.

"Alright. This is something that we can do. From now on we will make sure to not harm the innocent people."

"There would be people who won't agree with this. You know that right? Dott asked.
