In The Future | Five Hargreeves

39 | she's gone, but she's everywhere

A/n: I'm sorry to all the people who thought the story broke. I accidentally published it. Sorry again.

The next day came as she woke up, remembering that Five didn't come home last night. Where the hell could he be?

Secretly, she felt guilty for disobeying her husband's rule and constantly blames herself for everything. If she hadn't come, perhaps everything would be alright and let destiny work itself.

But she was already here. And was very surprised when Five understood her. He should be angry at her. He should be ignoring her. Hate her. But no, he even became softer more than he already is and it was making her uncomfortable (in a good way).

She was about to head to the lobby, hoping to see him there until she saw Lila who ignored her and went inside a pink room also seeing Five who was looking at a stag.

She slowly went inside seeing Diego with a worried face while fixing the bed, "What the hell are you doing? Stanley is gone! We need to face this!" Lila panicked.

"Just check the chimney!" Diego exclaimed back

"You lost your own son? What kind of parents are you?" Y/N interrupted making Diego gaze at her, "My kid, my business, okay?." he replied.

"He's not in the bloody chimney! He's been Kugelblitzed!" Lila continued and Diego walked towards her, "Who's fault is that, huh? You're not the one that brought him here!" Diego pointed at her.

"Congratulations. You've both mildly terrible parents. Can we focus? Come on. How did this thing open before?" Five interrupted "I don't know? It was already kinda open." Diego answered while pacing, "'Already kinda open.'" Five said.

"Diego, you should be an engineer. It's a lost opportunity." he added casually, stuffing his hands through his pockets.

"Why'd you wanna go in there anyway? It's just sushi and death." Lila objected while holding a Slurpee.

"When we met my future self, figure me in the Commission bunker, I warned myself about Oblivion. Now, Pogo told me-"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Pogo's alive?" Diego asked and walked towards them.

"Different Pogo, but yes. The monkey said Dad spend years training the Sparrows for some kind of super-secret mission into..." Five explained.

"Oblivion?" Lila continued as he nodded.

"So, I come back here and find that you two sentiments STDs have actually been in there. Everything's leading to Oblivion. So we have to go in there."

"Hell no! Not happening." Diego whined, "No way! We barely got out alive!" Lila complained.

"But what's in there? A portal leading into a different universe?" Y/N asked "Could be. It's like another part of the hotel but eerier with a killer." Lila answered, "Listen, none of us is going back there, alright? It's too dangerous." Diego warned.

"Yeah? So what? This is about more than just you two." Five objected

"Says the guy with all his fingers." Diego snapped, "I didn't get this by giving a mummy a hand job, all right? I went in there, and lost my finger to this thing with... with a knife and on a chain." he explained while showing his cutted fingers wrapped in a gauze.

Lila took a step forward, "Hey, look, Diego might be ninety percent moron and ten percent pelvic thrusts, but he's right about Oblivion, okay?"

"We're not just gonna waltz back in there just because you say so." she added

"Good. Because you're coming with us." a voice interrupted causing the four to look back seeing Luther with Sloane.

"This should be interesting." Five muttered, "Where to?" he added and stuffed his hands into his pockets.
