Y/n Hargreeves ↓

I woke up with a pounding fucking headache. I didn't know what happened. The last thing I remember was getting shot, a pain in my chest, seeing a bunch of blood practically pouring out of me, this weird burning feeling and then I couldn't feel anything at all. I think I just passed out. I remembered seeing Luther, Diego, Allison, Klaus, Ben and Vanya all around me, and Dad was there and so was Mom. I remembered a lot of blood. Like, hella.

I slowly sat up, feeling a sharp pain shoot through me and I inhaled a sharp breath.

"Goddamn." I mumbled, managing to sit up.

I heard footsteps. Maybe it was Mom or Klaus coming to annoy me now that I was awake. Maybe he's gonna give me a cigarette. He owes me one anyways from the last time I snuck him some alcohol.

Invisibility was a good power sometimes. Same with telepathy and telekinesis.

I remembered getting shot on a mission. Maybe I lost a little bit of blood and that's why I passed out.

I looked towards the doorway and saw a man come in with a woman.

"Who the fuck are you?" Was the first thing I said, staring at them.

Holy fuck.

That was Diego and Allison.

"Y/n." Allison said. "Jesus Christ..."

"Allison?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows and staring at her. My gaze shifted to the man. "Diego?"

My throat hurt. It hurt to speak. How long was I.. asleep?

I heard more footsteps. I knew those footsteps. And when he walked in, I knew who it was.

"N/n!" Klaus said, grinning like a high moron and hugging me.

Ow. That hurt like a bitch.

"Klaus?" I mumbled, not moving.

"How the hell is she awake?" I heard Diego ask Allison. "She was in a coma."

Wait.

What? A fucking coma?

"I was in a coma?" I asked, looking at Diego and Allison over Klaus's shoulder. Klaus finally let me go. "For how long?"

All of them hesitated except for Klaus "Fifteen goddamn years!" Klaus said. "I've missed you so much."

"Are you high?" I asked, looking at his full blown pupils. "And- holy shit, fifteen years?"

"Yeah." Diego sighed. "Its... complicated."

"Where's dad?" I asked, Klaus stood beside the bed.

Again, another hesitation from anyone but Klaus. "Deady-dead-dead." He answered. "Dear old Reggie, is dead."

Again, I was confused. "How?" I asked.

"Heart failure." Allison said.

"And where's Ben?" I questioned.

Now there was a hesitation from everyone.

"Where's Ben?" I repeated.

"He died. A long time ago." Allison said after a moment.
