ROSES AND FLAMES - Five Hargreeves

𝟮𝟬. life or death

"Quick question, are we going to kill her or just take her for the night? Because the world is still going to end, people." Josie asked the group, trying to make them understand the fact that they could potentially die.

Luther looked at his brothers, his eyes circling back to Josie, taking that into account, his lips tightened, sighing out loudly. "Using Allison as a distraction could buy us some time, but we have to go now." Luther stated, deciding to get the plan ahead.

Going up the few stairs, Josie heard the music begin to get louder as she entered the doors, kneeling down and crawling to get to one point; knowing she couldn't do what the boys were going to do, sitting back and watching Vanya play with the horrible makeup on her face.

She spotted Allison standing quite close to the edge of the stage; putting her hand out as she noticed Vanya smile at the presence of her sister. Josie tried to not gag at the sisterly love, watching it be crumbled, the moment Diego and Luther attempted to run on stage to get her.

Josie saw the way Klaus wasn't with them anymore, wondering where he went. The people in the theatre began to get up and leave, screaming and rushing out of the place when Vanya threw her arm across her body, pushing Diego and Luther off before getting to her.

She did the same thing to the band, making them sit in their seats and continuing to play their music, Vanya having a solo. Josie didn't realize how much power Vanya would have, wondering if it was through hatred or experimenting what she could do.

Josie crawled over to Diego, yelling when she heard gunshots and screaming, hiding between in the seats. "What's with all the Lollygagging?" Looking up to see five at her hands, Josie grabbed the boy in case they would shoot again, apologizing as his head hit the ground.

Josie took the opportunity to slap him across the face, shaking her hand at them. "What the hell five; I thought something happened to you." Josie hissed, not caring they were in the middle of being shot at.

Five huffed, holding his pained face, staring at her. "The handler— she was distracting me to get to you guys faster. Why else are they here?" Five gently told her, moving the hair that was on her face, tucking it behind her ear.

The cute moment didn't last long, blinking or becoming invisible to kill them, watching five get twirled around made her day. Using one of the knives she stole from Diego, Josie was able to take down three of them, beginning to hide again.

Many were down, however, the thing that spooked Josie the most, was that there were octopus legs coming out of a man that was screaming, watching the ones in masks getting squished. 

Josie stood up as she watched Klaus conjure him, standing beside Five as they were both shocked. "Who is that?" Josie asked; seeing the boy be in all black. "That's Ben... our dead brother." He whispered out.

It almost seemed like the world stopped when the siblings and Josie saw the dead brother killing those in masks, their hearts skipping a beat. "Woah." Josie breathed out, blinking twice and in absolute bliss.

Klaus stopped conjuring Ben as they all looked at one another, all taking a moment to see Klaus being able to conjure someone in the last twenty years. "Now whose the look out?" Klaus breathed out, laughing a little and waving them off.

Josie scoffed a laugh, wishing she was closer to high five him, all turning to see Vanya still playing the violin. A loud noise came from Vanya, her violin giving her the strength to even change clothes, the rod being her strength.

Josie never knew in all her years of knowing the Umbrella academy that a woman like Vanya could potentially destroy the earth.

She had never thought of dying in such a terrible way, sure maybe by old age or dementia, considering all the concussions she's faced due to her job, but never imagined Vanya Hargreeves creating an apocalypse.
