The Space Between Us (S2) || Five Hargreeves x Reader

☕️ Chapter Nine ☕️

We follow Lila all the way to an abandoned building where she uses a pipe to break the window of a door to unlock it and then enters the building.

"She gave me a weird feeling the first time we met her. I guess this just proves that feeling to be true." I mumble, as we both run over to the door, from our hiding spots.

Five pokes his head inside the broken window. "Well, be prepared to fight..." He grabs my hand and jumps us inside, right behind a running Lila. She stops and turns around toward us.

"Do you care to tell us what your game is, crazy lady?" I ask, crossing my arms.

"Who cares? He said if he saw me again, he'd kill again." She replies, gesturing to Five.

Five nods. "Oh. I remember..."

She amusingly raises an eyebrow at me. "What about you, girlie?"

I get in a defensive stance and make two balls of purple mist appear. "Come at me, you sick bitch."

"It seems your daddy didn't teach you nice words, did he?" She then lets out a short huff. "Let's just get this over with."

Five jumps behind her to try and attack her from behind, but she did a tornado roundhouse kick, knocking us both to the ground and runs away.

I roll my head around and crack my knuckles, after standing back up. "She's sooo dead to me now..."

We run after her into a more open space. Five jumps from beside me and way out in front of her, while I'm still behind her.

"Just two kids?" She scoffs. "This should be easy."

Five swiftly jumps and kicks her in the face. "Call us kids again. I dare you." He warns threateningly.

She lands about three punches on him. "Alright..." She lands other punch. "You're the first kid going down."

With my blood boiling from anger, I run up from behind her and jump on her back and hold her in a choke hold. I really don't care about how much pain my leg is in right now.

I lean down to her ear. "In fair sight, he did try to warn-woah!" She flips me off her back and onto the ground in front of her, making me cry loudly in pain.

It's like the Mexican Consulate all over again, but this time, my back really hurts. It's thankfully not broken or anything. It just hurt more because it's concrete.

"I don't believe daddy trained you all too-" She stumbles away from me when Five kicks her in the stomach. He goes for a punch, but she blocks it and starts fighting back.

I slowly and painfully crawl over to a pole to help myself up. I grab hold of it and pull myself up, crying out, as I get up.

I look at where Five and Lila are and Five swings a punch in her direction, but she dodges and then jumps someplace.

I rapidly blink. She did what?! She just jumped like Five does! How did she do that?! Does she have powers?! Is she...is she like us?

"I'm waiting~" She teases, leaning against a wall.

"You've kind of left me unable to fight!" I shout.

Five jumps over where she is and she punches him once and he falls to the ground, then she jumps, appearing beside me. "Then that means I've already halfway succeeded." She ruffles my hair. "Now. Let's test yours out, shall we?"

Suddenly, I feel my throat close up and I'm thrown against a pillar, making me let out an extremely weak scream in pain again.

"How does it feel?" She asks, walking closer to me, until we're face to face. "Knowing that you're about to die by your own power?"
