10. SHARING PAST

CHAPTER TEN: SHARING PAST

Flashback start...

"Do you really think that you are the only one broken here" Natasha said angry as she was looking at Five "Do you really think that you are the only one that have lost people" she said "You have no idea what loss is" he said "Yes I do. You are not the only broken one here" she said "Then tell me" he said but she looked down "Natasha, I can't know what is going on until you tell me" he said "I don't want you to see me as weak" she said "I promise, there is nothing you can say or do that will made me think that you are weak, you are the strongest person I know" he said and she looked up at him "We are friends right" he said and took a step closer to her "We are partners in crime" he said. 

She took a deep breath before she pulled up her left sleeve to revealed a old cut on her wrist.

Five's eyes widened when he saw the cut and he blinked over to her, so they were inches apart "Who did this? I will kill them" he said as he lifted her arm to look closer at the cut.

"I did it" she said, causing him to lift his head and look at her "What?" he asked "I did it to myself. A long time ago" she said "Why?" he asked and she took some steps back before turning her back to him "I can see something is wrong" he said "Nothing is wrong, I'm fine" she said "You're not fine. You're obviously displaying symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder which absolutely makes sense" he said, taking a step closer to her "I can help you. Tell me what's wrong" he said.

"Why do you care?" she asked "Because I care about you and I can't handle see you in pain" he said "Stop it. Stop doing that. Stop being you" she said "I can't help it" he said "Yes, you can" she said and as she turned around to look at him his eyes widened, for the first time, he could see the tears in her eyes.

I never thought that You would be the one to hold my heart
But you came around
And you knocked me off the ground from the start

"You think you know what's going on, but you don't" she said, sobbing. "Well, then explain it to me, Natasha. Because all...all I know is that my friend is hurting and when I see her in pain, I just want it to make it stop" he said and her eyes widened "Please Natasha, let me in" he said worried "You wouldn't understand" she said before she looked down "Try me" he said but she shook her head. "If you are afraid that I will leave you. You are wrong, you are my friend and I care about you a lot" he said.

Five could see that she was hurting and she was in lot of pain and it hurt him knowing that she was hurting and there was nothing he could do to make it stop, other than being there for her.

"If I share my story, will you share yours?" he asked but she didn't answer and he took a deep breath.

"I was stuck in the apocalypse for 25 years before I came here" he said and she lifted her head to look at him "And the reason I got stuck was because I overrated my powers" he said "How?" she asked.

"I was born together with 43 other kids with special abilities, we were all born on the same day, the first day of October 1989. None of these woman had been pregnant when the day first began. The eccentric billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeves adopted as many of the children as possible. He ended up getting seven of them and called them The Umbrella Academy, I was one of those kids. We all had speciel powers except Vanya, I don't know why he kept her. Well anyway. We were all born with powers, me, I have the ability to teleport both short and long distances. But my dad was the worst dad ever. He never took care of me or my siblings or loved us. He adopted us yeah, but instead of treating us as his children, he treated us like we were lab rats on his little experiment. He emotionally abused me and my siblings. He only had us because of our abilities. Instead of giving us name, he called us by numbers. He let our robot mother name us" he said "Why don't you have a name?" she asked "Well, I don't want to. The rank system had a negative effect on all my siblings, except for me. I didn't care that I was not perfect in my dad's eyes. I knew that I have great power. My number don't have a huge impact on me, so I never changed my name" he said before he took a deep breath.
