Dysfunctional ~ F.Hargreeves

24} D.C. Umbrella Manufacturing Co.

"Of course Dad would be involved in the assassination," Diego shook his head, going through all of his newly retained information, "I should've known."
"No, you're jumping to conclusions," Five retaliated.
"Who the fuck is that guy?" Bill asked, frustrated that he was out of the loop.
"Their father, calm down," Jenna rolled her eyes, "I can catch you up later if you're so intrigued."
"What else would Dad be doing standing on the grassy knoll," Diego stood up in Five's face, "Holding an open umbrella on a sunny day in Dallas the exact same moment that the president gets shot?"
"It doesn't look good, I admit," Five confessed.
"No, he's the signalman for the whole goddamn thing."
"Easy, Diego, seriously."
"No, it makes sense to me," Jenna shrugged.
"Don't feed his delusions, Jen," Five sighed heavily.

"For all we know, it could be what Hazel was trying to tell us, Sweetie," Jenna poked him.
"She's right," Diego nodded, "We have to stop Dad from killing the president."
"Diego, calm down, all right?" Five tried to reason with him, "Dad was no Boy Scout, but presidential assassination? It's never been his thing."
"How would you know?" Jenna challenged, "You never thought that Project MKUltra was his thing, but here I am in the flesh."
"What is anything you people are saying?" Bill groaned, digging his hands in his hair.
"Shut up, Bill," She shushed him, "I said I'd talk with you later."
"No, Jenna's got a point," Diego gestured to her, "How would you know? You missed out on Dad's golden years."

"You think I had it easy, Diego?" Five grabbed him by the collar, "I was alone for ten years and with Jenna for about thirty five including the Commission. You know what? We don't have the time for this right now," Five released his hold on him, "Dad's clearly in Dallas, right? Let's just go talk to him. Maybe he can help us fix the timeline."
"Dallas is a big place," Diego pointed out, "We need to find him first."
"Gee, if only we had some magical, old-timey way of finding people and their addresses."
"Ah, fuck," Bill sighed, ripping his hands down from his head, "I guess I'm helping now.

"So, Five, what am I looking for?" Bill grabbed out Elliott's phone book, scanning over every page for a name.
"It should be pretty simple, look for his name for starters," Five said a-matter-of-factly.
"Well, what the hell is this fucker's name?" Bill fired back.
"Reginald Hargreeves," Jenna finally told him.
"Okay... Hargreeves," He flipped to the H's, scanning down the list of names with his finger, "Hargreeves... shit. I don't see anything."
"Try his company, D.S. Umbrella Manufacturing Co," Five suggested.

"Oh, I actually know that place," Bill flipped back in the book, "Let's see here... yes! It's eighty-two Olive. Let's go."
"Whoa, buddy. 'We'?" Five scoffed.
"Yes 'we'. I'm going. You roped me into this thing, I'm helping now," Bill stood up, planting his hands on his hips.
"Jenna?" Five whined.
"Bill, can you please stay here?" Jenna turned to him, sighing, "You can untie Elliott, watch some TV together like normal, and when we get back I'll update you on everything."
"But-"
"If we're in trouble, I'll call here," She rubbed her hands up and down his shoulders, "It shouldn't take that long I'm hoping. Stay here with El. Please?"
"You are a goddamn pain in my ass," He bit his lip, regretting all of his life choices, "This seems like a sign for me to never have kids, god!"
No, please do have those kids actually or I won't exist, thank you very much.

"So, is the girl coming?" Five nudged Diego as they started to head out.
"Ah, shit," Diego ran out to go find Lila.
"So, now looks like a great time to update me, Jen," Bill crossed his arms over his chest, shrugging her hands off of him, "Not later, now."
"Fine," Jenna caved, "We're all from 2019. Five here can time travel and his other siblings also have cool powers. You know about my electricity stuff, but they were born with theirs unlike me who was experimented on. Now, his brother, Diego over there, is obsessed with stopping the JFK assassination that takes place in a couple days and that footage points to their dad committing the murder as of now. All caught up? Actually, there's more backstory to everything, but it's irrelevant to what's going on right now."
"I understood what came out of your mouth," He started to chew on one of his nails, "I think."
"Good," She patted his arm, "Now, we're gonna go once Diego figures out his shit. I don't need you getting yourself into danger over this, so that's why you can stay here and calm Elliott down."
