Monsters (Five x Male!reader)

Pogo - 20. chapter

Woah, what the actual FUCK! So, I just came back on Wattpad (from Ao3) after a very very long time and saw that this fic has Ove 6.6K reads??? HUH??? AND THERE I WAS, DOING A SPECIAL FOR 500? ARE YOU KIDDING?? Anyway, I really felt like writing something so, here I am. Enjoy it, or don't. Don't care. (I actually do) 

TW: Mature language

Five woke up in his room.

His entire body ached, his head pounded and his wound drove him crazy. He looked around. The last thing he remembered is being in Harold Jenkin's house... But now he's in his room? He must've fainted, then. He thought to himself as he pulled up his shirt to look at the wound. 

It is... Bandaged. 

The sight quite surprises him. He always knew his siblings could take care of wounds but... Wow. Or maybe Y/N did it, which would have been way less surprising... Either way, he didn't really care who it was, he felt glad nevertheless. 

He could hear voices from downstairs, probably Klaus's. He decided that he rested enough and that there is still more work to be done, so, he stood up from his bed. 

His migraine didn't quite falter when he did, in fact, it even got worse as he felt his eyes blackout. He held onto his bed a little longer before finally jumping down near the kitchen. 

"Here you go... This will help you" He heard Klaus say, as he also heard a sound of pouring. He assumed that it was just coffee. 

He walked into the kitchen and without a second thought, he took the coffee from a hooded Luther.

Honestly, in all of Five's life, he doesn't think he ever saw Luther look so down. But, there were more problems than just Luther's feelings, so, even if very guilty for doing so, because deep down he really cared about them, Five decided to ignore it. 

Luther just groaned and took another cup that Klaus gave him.

"Fine...Cool." He heard Klaus say in a soft voice. If there wasn't a huge apocalypse coming and a few hundred time-soldiers after Five, he'd find this moment very peaceful and calming. But now it felt rather like a calm before the storm more than anything.

Five took a sip out of the coffee and grimaced. "Jesus, who do I have to kill to get a decent coffee?" 

"Make it yourself, then." He rolled his eyes as he heard Y/N say that. The boy sat next to him and smiled softly at Five.

"Can we just start." Luther said, sounding very exhausted. Klaus looked around the room. "Has anyone seen anybody else? Diego? Allison? Vanya?" He looked at them all. "Whatever, alright." 

Klaus began: "So, I don't really know where to begin, but-" Klaus seemed to look at an empty chair. "I..." "Klaus." Luther looked at him, annoyed.

"I talked to Dad last night."

They all stare at him in shock. Five even manages to choke on his coffee. Luther looks at him and then at Klaus again. "What?"

Klaus kept quiet. Luther spoke up again. "I thought you didn't control ghosts anymore?" Luther says.

"Well that is true, but now I'm clean." Klaus grins. "Taa-dah!" He laughs to himself. "Yea, yesterday I finally did it. I uh... Wanted to talk to someone-" Five raises an eyebrow. "But instead, I came across our daddy" Klaus said expectantly.

Luther groans and sits up. "Anyone knows where Aspirin is?" He asked and shortly after that, he got a response from Five. 

"Hey, Hey, guys this is serious... I really talked to him, I swear." Klaus said, raising his hands in the air. Five smiled. "Alright, alright! I'm listening. What did the old man want?" He said almost sarcastically. Y/N just gave Five a look, signalling that his sarcasm wasn't at place.

"Well, first thing, he gave me his normal talk about my appearance, how I'm a failure, blah blah blah." Klaus chuckles. "However, he did tell me something about his death-" Luther seems to finally listen. "That they didn't actually kill him." Klaus pauses. "Because he did it himself." 

Everyone pauses, taking the information in. In all honesty, it doesn't really surprise Five. He sees the apologetic look on Y/N's face but Five isn't particularly shocked. Their dad was always a little extreme, and even though, when sometimes very confusing, all his actions had a reason. He was sure this one did too.

Luther still doesn't look very convinced. "I really don't have the time for this." He said and stood up again. 

"No-Nononono. I am telling the truth, believe me." Klaus stopped him. "I am telling the truth, I am telling you the truth," Klaus repeated.

"Why did he do it?" Five asked, curious about Reginald's actions. There is a loud sigh from Klaus. "Because if he didn't we'd never regroup like this,"

"No, Dad would certainly not kill himself," Luther said. Five rolled his eyes. "You said it yourself, he was depressed. Spent all his time in his office." 

"He also knew you all," Y/N told Five. "No-No, he didn't want to kill himself," Luther argued. "He wasn't suicidal, nor did he do any weird things he wasn't-" "Sending you to the moon without a reason isn't weird enough?" Klaus cut him off. Luther stayed silent for a moment before speaking again. "I swear to god, Klaus if you're-" "I am not! I am not lying, I promise!"

Luther sent Five a worried look. 

Suddenly, Pogo, the human-like monkey in a suit spoke up: "Mr. Klaus isn't lying." Klaus grins. 

"I am sorry, but I have helped sir establish his plan. Along with Grace." Pogo said, his voice heavy in this room. "It was a hard choice for the both of us.. Way harder than you can imagine." 

"Before we did it, I and sir changed Grace's programming, making her unable to help him in any way." Five frowns. "Such a fucker." Five says. 

"And the record from his room..?" Luther says, almost ashamed. "That, Mr Luther was just to make the lie believable," Pogo admits.

"Your father believed that if he gets you to solve it together, he will be able to make you be a team again." "Why." Five sent Pogo a look. "So you save the world." Klaus laughs. "Super!" 

Five sighed. His dad was a maniac – an idiotic and insane old man with too much money. Yes, killing himself just to make his kids meet up seems like a thing he would do. Still, Five couldn't help but feel a little guilty for it. After all, he was one of his kids too. 

"Anything else?" Luther spoke up, venom filling his voice. "Anything else you might want to-" "Calm down!" Klaus said. Luther sent him a furious look.

"You were the only person who we all trusted here, you were a friend!" Pogo looked down. "...That was your father's last wish, sire. I... I couldn't disobey." 

Luther suddenly walked closer to Pogo and Five considered standing up to stop him for a moment. 

"You can always. Disobey." Luther spat out and left.

Well, that's a way to end a conversation, thought Five. He sighed and turned to his coffee, head elsewhere.

His thoughts only circled around one thing – Pogo said that their father did it only to make his kids reunite, that much was clear. But, what did not make sense is the fact that their father knew something was up. Did he possibly know about the apocalypse? 

Five put his head into his hands before mumbling "I'll think it through" and leaving.

Y/N was left there, sitting with Klaus in rather awkward silence. "I should- I should probably make sure he doesn't get shot again." He said before running off after Five.

Knock. Five entered Klaus's room, his head spinning from all his thoughts. "Pack your shit, we're going to save the world." He said quickly. Klaus cheered sarcastically. "Again?"

"Pogo says that Dad killed himself just to make us reunite, but how did the old deutschbag know about the apocalypse? I found out from the future, but he? He didn't time travel." Five wandered around the room. 

"Well you know he-" "Don't. It- Eloquent question." Klaus sighed.

"All our lives, Dad told us that we'd once beat the world."

"Yes, but I thought it was only to make us wash the dishes." "Yes, me too. But, if he actually knew about the apocalypse-" "But how?"

Pause. "....I have no clue." 

They walked out of the door. "Fact is, that his plan worked, we're actually here, saving the world" Five sighed. 

"What, the two of us?" 

"...I hope not but... I work with what I have." 

Klaus chuckled. They saw Diego run up to his room, so, they followed him inside. "Where have you been?" Klaus joked. They both saw the urgent look on Diego's face. "Jail." 

Klaus shut up and looked at Five who just shrugged. "Where's Luther?" Diego asked, quickly putting on his gear. "Didn't see him since breakfast." "Yeah, he thinks that disappearing 2 days before an apocalypse is a good idea." Klaus joked.

"Fuck-" Diego sighed and looked at his siblings with a stern look.

"Allison's in danger."


All right, I've had enough for a long time again, LOL. I feel like I might bring this fanfic back to life but uhhh. I really am tired of wanting to be as accurate as possible with this fic and seeing how many mistakes, plot-wise and grammar-wise it already has... HAH.

All in all, I feel like it has more potential than just what I did. So, I might continue it. Dunno.

Maybe I'll update in like a day? 2? 3? A week? A month? Never again? I dunno.
