Dysfunctional ~ F.Hargreeves

38} The Shadow Walk

"Bill, oh my god, you can't be serious," Jenna laughed as she opened the door to Elliott's.
"No, no, that one hundred percent happened, I swear," He chuckled while throwing his hands up in surrender.
"You couldn't have- Hey, what's going on in here?" Jenna looked around and saw her husband and in-laws surrounding a TV.
"The FBI believes they may have been acting in concert with the alleged shooter," A man on the news stated, "Lee Harvey Oswald. Vanya Hargreeves, wanted in connection with the deaths of several FBI agents inside the federal building at Dealey Plaza."
"Holy shit," Jenna crossed her arms commenting at the image held up by the newscaster, "That is a terrible mugshot, V. Sorry, but it's the truth."

"A Cuban exile known only as Diego..."
"Cuban?" Diego himself questioned.
"...who recently escaped from the Holbrook Sanitarium. A bare-knuckle boxer with suspected mafia ties who fights under the alias 'King Kong'."
"No shit," Jenna chuckled as she stared at the monkey man.
"Shut up, Jenna," He lowered his head, "It was cool when I first came up with it."
"Sure it was, King Kong," She hit the back of her hand against his chest.
"Allison Chestnut," The announcer continued, "A Negro radical responsible for instigating and organizing the recent riots at Stadtler's lunch counter. And finally, Klaus, a controversial cult leader and known tax evader. The FBI is asking to be on the lookout for this unidentified girl and boy, who are always together and they believe are being held hostage by the suspected terrorist network..."
"Well, it's true," Five shrugged, pulling his wife into his side, "I do feel like I'm being held hostage most days."

"God, I hate that photo," Diego commented on his mugshot.
"They're saying I instigated the riot?" Allison fumed, "That's unbelievable."
"Look," Luther reasoned, "The good news is that we restored the timeline and we stopped doomsday. So-"
"Yeah, a bunch of real goddamn heroes," Diego rolled his eyes, "We let Kennedy die."
"Yeah, and now we're officially the most wanted people in the world," Allison pointed out, "The FBI is after us, the Dallas police, the Secret Service. I mean, it's only a matter of time before they hunt us down here."
"Well, where are we supposed to go?" Vanya asked.
"I have this yurt just outside Reykjavik," Klaus motioned around with his hands as he descended the stairs, "We could totally lay low there. Folks there are a little weird, but lovely."

"Hey, numbnuts," Five hollered, "Hiding is not gonna make a difference here. The Commission will hunt us down wherever and whenever we go."
"He's right," Diego agreed, "They'll never stop."
"I'm sorry, since when are you an expert on the Commission?" Five squinted at Diego.
"Since I got back from there," Diego crossed his arms over his chest.
"What?" Jenna questioned, quirking up an eyebrow.
"Yeah, they headhunted me, offered me a job. Full time with benefits, which I had to turn down," He smirked.
"They headhunted you..." Five clarified, "...The village idiot."
"What, am I not allowed to be headhunted?" Diego scoffed, "Only the almighty Five and his wife need to be in demand?"
"Hey, for the record, you are one of the more useful people here for the Commission," Jenna pointed out, "I would've headhunted you if you were a tad bit more responsible."
"Thank you, Jenna," Diego smiled, "This is why you're my favorite."

"In my opinion, Diego," Five butted in, "You're not Commission material, all right? Got an obstinate nature to ya."
"Who do you think it was that figured out Vanya was the one that causes doomsday and stopped it?" He pointed to himself, "Me."
"Hey!" Klaus looked offended.
"That's who," Diego smirked, "I figured it all out on the Infinite Switchboard."
"You were on the Infinite Switchboard?" Five stared at him, wide eyed and dumbfounded.
"Hell, yeah. I made that machine my bitch," Diego bragged, "Y'all need to recognize I got shit going on y'all don't even know about."
"Oh, I'm sorry," Allison said, sarcastically, "You've got things going on?"
"This isn't helpful," Luther sighed, "It really isn't."
"Look," Diego finished, "I met the Résistance in their secret lair. All right? I went through orientation and I passed and I stopped doomsday."
