Inseparable

Chapter Four

I ran, well stumbled more into his arms, I ran my fingers through his hair. I couldn't help bursting into tears, I pulled away and smacked him across the face, hard.

"I missed you ass." I say, tears rolling down my face. "You acorned you dumbass" I murmur into the crook of his neck. He had an old blue matted scraggly thing clutched in his hand, "Your pot holder!" I looked at it with a laugh," Not my finest work." I say still hugging him. 

"I- missed you so much.." He murmured to me. "But my face hurts" he said pointedly.

"Yeah uh huh" I said touching my forehead with his, seeing everything he saw, the handler, Dallas, the Commission, the apocolypse, and the eye. All of us dead.. For 45 years.. 

'We need to talk about 'this' later in private' I tell him telepathically. Five sighed and nodded.

We're all inside the Academy, Five is making a sandwich. 

"What's the date? The exact date" Five asks us.

"The 24" Vanya answers.

"Of what." Five asks already sounding irritated. 

"March" I answer. "Good," Five says, taking the bread out of its bag. 

"So, are we gonna talk about what just happened?" Luther asked. Five doesn't respond and Klaus, and Allison exchange glances. Klaus's saying ' Control your big dumb hoe' and Allison's saying ' Stfu'. 

"It's been 17 years" Luther exclaims. This sets Five off. Five scoffs and says, "It's been a lot longer than that" than and teleports through him to get the marshmallows. "I haven't missed that" Luther muttered to himself. 

"Where'd you go?" Diego asks staring at the floor and sounding as if he didn't care. "The future, it's shit by the way" 

"Called it." Klaus exclaims raising a finger, 

"Damn you," I murmur smacking a dollar into his hand. He smirks and shoves the bill in his pocket. Five gave me a 'Why did you lose to Klaus' look then continued,

 "I should have listened to the old man." He said. I scoff at him and give him a pointed look and a scowl. "And Y/n." He added, having the sense to look a little ashamed toward me. 

"You know jumping through space is one thing." Five started.

"Jumping through time is a toss of the dice." I finish for him. 

Five looked up at Klaus, "Nice dress" He remarked sarcastically.

 "Oh! Well danke!" Klaus said swinging one of the tassles.

"How did you get back?" Vanya asked. 

"In the end I had to project my consciousness forward into a suspended quantum state version of myself. That exists across every possible instance of time" Five answered as if it were simple. I mouthed each word to myself as I heard it from his brain before he said it. Ok if you broke it down it made sense. Ish.. Not..

"That makes no sense" Diego said. 

"Well it would if you were smarter." Five remarks, I give a bark of laughter before taking one of the marshmallows from the cutting board and eating it. Diego gets up to try and beat the crap out of Five but Luther stops him with his arm forcing him back down. 

"How long were you there?" Luther asks Five.

 "Forty-five years, give or take." Five responds not looking up from his sandwhich making.
