When Five Hargreeves was 16, he disobeyed his father and time traveled against his will. What he didn't expect was to end up in the apocalypse, and unknowingly take Evelyn Larsen with him.

After awhile of roaming the house, I find my way out of house where the dysfunctional family stands around. The rain comes down heavily, everyone holding an umbrella, save for big man and batman. Everyone turns at the sound of the door closing behind me. Five waves me over, while everyone else goes back to what was being discussed.
Standing underneath the black umbrella with Five, pinkie gives me an awkward smile while big man and batman seem to be having an argument. Pinkie is the only contrast between all of the black umbrellas, standing with a clear and pink umbrella.
"Look, you wanna pay your respects? Go ahead. But at least be honest about the kind of man he was." Batman stands in the middle of the circle the family has seemed to form.
"You should stop talking now." Big man says.
Batman turns around and faces big man. "You know, you of all people should be on my side here, Number One."
"I am warning you."
"Who do you have your bets on?" I ask pinkie. Big man looks, well big, but if they all have powers like Five then, what is batman's powers?
"Probably Luther, have you seen the size of him? Why? Wanna bet?" Pinkie asks
"You're on." Psh, I don't have any money, but if he loses then 20 bucks here I come. I also don't know who Luther is but with his size comment, it can only be big man.
Luther takes the first swing. And the second while batman dodges. Everyone else backs away, not surprised, but annoyed. "Boys, stop this at once!" monkey? Where the fuck am I?
Pinkie attempts to shield Five and I from the action, but Five just swats his arm away. Luther finally gets a hit at batman's back. "Come on, big boy!" Batman beckons. Luther takes a swing and a miss with batman taking the opportunity to take a swing at his stomach and pounding at Luther's back.
Tiny discourages while pinkie encourages. They continue taking punches at each other while monkey walks away. It seems that Luther will win.
"We don't have time for this." Five walks away with the umbrella, leaving me in the rain. I think about joining him, but I want to see how this ends and win my 20 bucks. Pinkie attempts to shield me from the rain with his tiny umbrella, but it's too tiny to cover the both of us, so he just hands me the entire umbrella.
Suddenly, the statue that sits on the side, gets pummeled. "And there goes Ben's statue." Ben? Another walks away from the fight while Diego pulls out a knife. And throws. "Diego, no!"
The knife strikes Luther, drawing blood. Luther walks away.
"20 bucks, please." I hold out my hand, waiting for the money.
"Ugh, dammit." 20 bucks meet my hand and I walk away feeling good.
Telling myself I won't go there Oh, but I know that I won't care Tryna wash away all the blood I've spilt This lust is a burden that we both share Two sinners can't atone from a lone prayer Souls tied, intertwined by our pride and guilt
