The Sarcastic Sparrow

Sparrows Stay Together

After sitting in an awkward silence debating on what Reginald is up too. The old bastard finally decides to come downstairs

"Gather up, children. Now that we've had a chance to catch our breath, the real work can begin." Reginald raises his voice and he runs to the middle of the room. You get off of Five's lap and hold out a hand to help him up which he gratefully takes it and stands up himself

"Ah, the myth of the seven bells, eh?" Five speaks up as you both make your way to Reginald

"Exactly! Somebody's been paying attention." Reginald praises Five making you roll your eyes

"Okay, so we find the bells, then what?" Diego questions

"No, no, no. The bells are just a metaphor for this." Reginald points out showing his book to everyone. Five clicks his tongue and nods

"The sigil" You say as Five nods his head in agreement

"Correct, Number Eight. The sigil is the key to the seven bells. Once we find this symbol we're one step closer to resetting the universe." Reginald informs and praises you

"What do we do when we find it?" Sloane questions

"I don't know" Reginald mumbles making you groan

"Excuse me? We're here because you said you have a plan." Viktor argues

"I do, up to a point" Reginald exclaims as everyone looks at him in disbelief

"Great. So we'll just stay in the hotel forever, staring at the walls and eating bad sushi." Lila snickers next to Diego

"Finding the sigil is our only way out of here and the best chance we have of resetting the universe." Allison explains as Five wraps his arm around your waist while shoving his unoccupied hand in his pocket

"Funny how you and Dad are on the same page again." Five says sarcastically as he glares at his sister

"Okay, uh, where do we start?" Viktor asks breaking the tension between the two siblings

"We'll split into groups. I will go with Allison and Y/n, Sloane, Ben and Five with Viktor" Reginald demands

"No we want Allison" Viktor stops Reginald

"And Y/n" Five adds on

"Ben for Allison, Sloane for Y/n. We've trained together, so it makes more sense if we take Allison. Plus Y/n is more trustworthy with us, as she trusts us more" Five adds on with a sly grin

"Yes, please" You beg quietly as Five's grip on your waist tightens

"Yeah. No, thanks." Allison scoffs

"Why not?" Viktor questions and Allison remains quiet

"Splendid idea! Allison, you go with the Umbrellas. Y/n you stay with sparrows. Sparrows, stick together. Everyone take a different floor. We must find that sigil" Reginald stops the disagreement and Five doesn't let go of you

"What about us?" Diego questions about him and Lila

"You're a duo. Nobody wants to listen to your endless bickering. Now, spread out, leave no stone unturned, and meet back here in 30 minutes" Reginald informs
