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

Untitled Part 101

Sometimes Five still thinks that this whole mess was just a dream. A very bad and messed up dream. But nope. It wasn't. It was the fucking reality. He really has all his siblings' powers plus his own too. Which sucks. Not only that he still has problems controlling them. It took him and his siblings years to perfect their powers to that level. Well, all but Viktor and Klaus. Klaus was still afraid of his powers and it took him until adulthood and 3 apocalypses to stop him from fearing them and instead embracing them. And Viktor who discovered that he had powers not that long ago and still didn't have the time to perfect them fully until he lost them. But it was also because it put a lot of strain on his body. Really. Not only it made his body feel heavy but he was tired after all the training and sometimes at night, he can't sleep because there was either a stomach ache from the restless tentacles or a ghost who decided that its funny to scream in his ears.

There had been a few weeks even since he had discovered that he had all his powers and each day he trained with all the siblings to better control them. On the first day of the week, he trains with Luther. His brother was patient at the beginning end gentle with his explanation about how he can control his strengths. And the encouragement made him feel warm and there was always a smile on his face every time his brother praise him. But there are days when he can't focus enough and he either crushes an object or shatters it. When that happens his brother's patience fades and is replaced by annoyance. "Focus" he yells at him sometimes and Five hates it because it made him remember about his father, who yelled at him when he couldn't control his power but without the feeling of the cane on his back.

On the second day of the week, he trains with Diego. His training with Diego is more taxing because his brother only trains him through the fight. He even made him through things at him. And that things being knives. "You are crazy"Five yelled that day when he heard the words coming from his brother's mouth.

Diego rolled his eyes. "Have some trust in me. Will you? Even without powers I still can dodge dangerous things. I will be fine" Five hated the thought of throwing lethal things at his brother. Despite all the death threats that he spews at his family when they annoy him, in real life he doesn't want to kill them or harm them. But he has faith in his brother as well. So he did it. Like the training with Luther, there were days when he could control the trajectory of the knives, and Diego managed to dodge them. And in these days he was praised by his brother. But there were also days where he was shit at it which made his brother unpleased. "Focus", he yelled at him. Just like Luther. Just like dad.

On the third day of the week, he was trying with Allison. He won't lie. This was one of the powers that was hard to control. He wonders how his sister did it. He was still a little wary of her after what she had done. Everyone was. But he was still grateful for her help. She was his training puppet, so he had to use her. The point of the training was that he needs to control the orders, so when he tells someone to do something, without using the words I heard the rumor, without the power to activate. There were small orders, like sitting down, leaving the room, bringing him something, and so on. Again there were days when he can tell his sister what to do, and nothing happens. She was proud of him and promised him that after he would master that she would teach him how to order people around. Five had cringed at that because he doesn't like the thought of using the rumors on anyone. Maybe only if there's a live-or-die situation. But that's all. Unfortunately, there were bad days as well, and even if he doesn't use the magic words, the powers still activate making his sister obey. "Focus", she yelled annoyed, and Five flinched at the tone of her voice and looked down. On days like this, he fears opening his mouth.

On the fourth day of the week, he would train with Klaus. His brother is teaching him how to banish the ghost when they would bother him. He said that first, they would work on that and later on how to make them corporal if its necessary. Well, it wasn't as easy as it made it look. It's easy if there's a gruesome ghost that follows him around. But if there are the ones who yell at him, it's too hard to focus. Klaus could tell by the look on his face when he was successful because he looks rested and relaxed because there was no ghost around. He was the same when he was in his place. So he praised his good work in that days, once again making Five happy. On the bad days, Five looks exhausted and tense all the time. He recognized that when he was in his place and couldn't get rid of the ghosts. Klaus sighed. "You don't focus enough" Klaus didn't yell at him, like his other siblings. But he could still hear the disappointment in his voice.
