Chapter 12

Five and Kali got up and ran after Luther, Five grabbed his sleeve. "What the hell is wrong with you, Luther? I just told you the world is gonna end in ten days."

"Yeah, well, you're always saying that."

"And so far, I've been right."

"Look, you wanna go save the world? Knock yourself out. All right? I already got a job."

"Wait, you work in this shithole?"

"Yeah. Well, my boss owns the place." Kali gave him a look that said, 'that's how it works dumbass'. He corrected himself. "I'm his body man."

"What's that? Like a masseuse or something?"

"Okay, you can make fun all you want, but I take good care of Mr. Ruby."

"Wait, Ruby. The Jack Ruby, the gangster who shot Oswald?"

"Yeah, the one and only." Luther said casually.

"Well, it finally happened. That gorilla DNA has taken over your mind." Kali snorted at Five's joke.

"Hey, watch it, all right? Jack's a good friend."

"And your Number One. Numero Uno. Remember?"

"There is no Number One. Not anymore. Not in 1963. Look, I've been stranded here alone for a year. What did you expect?"

"I get it, all right? You watched Pogo die, the world exploded, and I marooned your big ass in time. I'm sorry, okay? But I'm asking for your help, Luther. The Umbrella Academy needs you."

"It doesn't need me. It never did." Kali actually agreed with that.

The lady Five asked out walked up to the three, "Luther, honey, Jack's about to lose it on some half-wit. A little help?"

"Ah, shit." He swore and began to walk away.

"Luther, wait."

"Listen. You're the genius who said we should jump. Right? You're the one who got us stuck here. And you're the one who brought Vanya. So if there is a doomsday coming, she's probably the cause. And if I was going to do something about it, it sure as hell wouldn't be with you."

That was it for Kali. Nobody talks to Five like that. Her hands balled into fists and she pushed Five out of the way so that she was standing infront of Luther. Her eyes glowed blood red like they had the day he captured Vanya.

"You don't scare me, Kali." Luther told her. Screams of surprise filled the room as glasses blew up and tables shook.

"Kali, it's fine. Drop it." Five said. Everything stopped and Luther walked away. Kali stormed towards the bar and the bartender slide a glass of whiskey towards her without any questions. She downed it and Five sat beside her.

"Calm down. Since when do you have such a short temper with Luther?" Five asked. She slowly turned her head to face him, annoyance written all over her face. "Sorry, sorry. Just wondering." Five said, putting his hands up in surrender.

Luther walked past them, dragging a wasted man out of the bar. Five took a sip of his drink and sighed, "Dad should have left him on the moon."

He got up and Kali followed, his pocket ripped and he looked down at it. He pulled out a orange box and flipped it over, '11/22/63  Frankel Footage' it read.

. . .

Five looked trough a magnifying glass at some photos while Kali and Elliot had cereal.

"Elliot, did you develop these photos yourself?"
