FATED (BEN HARGREEVES FANFICTION)

(not so) faded memory

"Grace!" Marcus shouts

In a matter of seconds, Grace walks from the kitchen, approaching Marcus.

"Clean this mess. Spotless, okay? Do not leave any single trace of damage,"

Marcus is helping his siblings to get up and basically heal themselves. God knows what's inside his head since he and his siblings never get defeated like that, in the way Susan and Vanya did.

It feels like once he slipped a bit, the whole Sparrow Academy can be wiped off.

Unlike the other of his siblings. Ben, however, prefers to walk away from the living room back to his room. He slams his door and takes care of his own wound by himself. The rest of the Sparrow might've guessed that Ben is dealing with his anger and ego issues right now. But boy... Oh boy. They are wrong.

There is something bugging his mind right now. The appearance of the mysterious girl.

The girl who's been in his dream for a long time.

Why could he see a glimpse of her life while she was strangled by him?

Why did she cry when they fought?

Did he hurt her?

"Oh, Jesus, you're still alive," Allison greets as the two of you manage to safely retreat back from the Academy.

You smile at her and directly look at Luther that looks like losing his senses. He was harshly beaten back in Sparrow Academy.

"Is he going to be okay?" Allison asks.

But instead of reassuring, Luther randomly picks up the answer with a slurry voice.

"I never get my ass handed like that. It's like... this is your ass,"

You hold your laugh since there are huge possibilities your jaw was injured too. Then your gaze falls to Five that is busy adjusting his skull externally. Probably he got a brain injury.

"Are you okay?" You tap his shoulder.

"I think I got a brain injury, that rough landing from the stairs just.. argh," he groans.

Klaus, still laying on his back, starts to question us, "But everyone can see Ben, right? He is very much alive now,"

You nod to his statement, agreeing wholeheartedly even though it is weird to see him alive -and being mean-

"Yeah, and he is a complete dickhead," says Allison.

"A dickhead who can fight," Diego adds.

"The next person says 'dickhead' gonna get a punch in the throat," Five exclaims, tired of their bickering.

Yet, them being moody and such still wants to bother Five even further

"Dickhead,"

"Dickhead,"

"Dickhead,"

Both Allison, Luther, Vanya, Diego and Klaus reply in unison. You giggle and want to annoy him a bit further so you say that one word.

"Dickhead"

"Really?" He rolled his eyes dramatically.

The sun shines so brightly while the pond in front of us reflects the reflection. I managed to observe it for a few seconds before joining the conversation again.

"It's okay, we can jump back in time like before. Besides, we still have the briefcase, right Five?" Vanya suggests.

"There are several problems with that statement," Five starts to elaborate, "time travel is a shit thing-"
