In The Future | Five Hargreeves

38 | Kugelblitz

They went back to the hotel as they saw their family still at the bar continuing the meeting. Viktor saw them as he walked toward the two, "Thank God you're back. Thought we lost you there." he confessed and hugged the girl.

The three walked to the bar and continued their meeting, "We should've given them Harlan." Luther said "What about Harlan?" Klaus asked, "The Sparrows said if we turned him over, we could end the fighting, and then work together to save the world. But if we did-" Luther explained.

"But we tried to make peace," Viktor interrupted, "Okay, and then the step-siblings from hell attacked, kidnapped you, and they tried to kill us. I mean, come on. We can't trust them."

"Working together would be like trying to defuse a bomb by pouring gas on it. It's only gonna make things burn down faster." he added and Klaus raised his hand, "But don't we need the big bad glowy-y thing in their basement?" he asked making Five interested.

"Klaus, do you know where the Kugelblitz is?" Five asked

"Oh, yeah. I saw it. When I went to visit Dad." he answered while pouring alcohol into his drink, "It's in the old storage room where Mom used to keep all her luggage."

"Why didn't you tell anyone?" Diego exclaimed

"I did. I told you!"

"You say stupid shit all the time!"

"Of course. It appeared in the same place we did." Five whispered "...important stupid shit." Diego continued, "That's not your fault?" Klaus replied "I'm inside your brain, pilling levers and stuff? Serious..." Diego sighed, not noticing Viktor left.

"You didn't think the Kugelblitz-" Five replied until they saw Luther stood up followed his brother causing all of them to do the same.

They stopped walking when Viktor faced them, "He didn't want to hurt anyone." he claimed "Really? You mean, when he did this?" Luther pointed at the wound on his cheek.

"Ow!" Y/N heard Stan rubbing his arm from pain.

"Wait, Harlan did that?" Five asked, "That's it. I'm gonna end him." Luther commented "Look, I know how it looks, but Harlan didn't ask for this. If we hadn't gone back to 1963, if I hadn't have saved him—" Viktor explained.

"He killed Jayme and Alphonso, not you." Luther interrupted, "He's the reason we're in this mess, and he's our only way out of it."

"Luther's right." Five sighed causing Viktor to look at him in disbelief, "If we're gonna have an iota of a chance of getting out of this alive, we need access to the Kugelblitz."

"There's only four of them left. We can just overpower them." Viktor objected "You can't just say that, we're also gonna risk losing some of us in the process." Y/N now replied, "Harlan is insignificant." she added.

Viktor's face fell, "He trusted you. He told me you were one of the first people who ever showed kindness to him."

She swallowed thickly and lowered her eyes, "I agree with Y/N." Five said "You told me one that no one is insignificant." Viktor replied also making his brother look away.

"They'll kill him." Viktor added which made all of them rethink their decisions.

"Oh, so?" Lila exclaimed
"We are talking about one person versus saving billions of lives here. I mean, is this really a debate for you people?"

"Hey, Little Britain? You don't get a vote." Viktor exclaimed

"Lila lives in this universe too." Klaus said, "Besides, she's family now. Kinda, sorta." he added and Lila's eyes soften, "Mmm. Thanks, kitten."
