Y/N had always heard stories about Sir Reginald Hargreeves, but she had never met the man. Today, however, fate had different plans. She found herself standing in the grandiose living room of the mansion, face to face with the infamous patriarch of the Hargreeves family.
Reginald's cold eyes assessed her with the same indifference he likely showed everyone. "You must be Y/N," he said, his tone devoid of warmth. "I've heard about you."
"Yes, sir," Y/N replied, trying to remain polite despite the chill in his demeanor. "It's nice to meet you."
Reginald ignored her attempt at pleasantries and launched into a critical monologue about his children. "You must understand, my 'children'—if one can even call them that—are highly flawed individuals. They lack discipline, focus, and a clear understanding of their purpose. Especially Number Five. A brilliant mind, wasted on trivial pursuits."
Y/N felt her blood begin to boil. "Excuse me, but I think you're wrong," she interjected, her voice steady but firm.
Reginald's eyebrow arched slightly, the only indication that he was taken aback by her boldness. "Oh? And what insight do you believe you have that I, their father, do not?"
Y/N took a deep breath, determined to stand her ground. "Five and his siblings are wonderful people. They've faced more challenges and endured more pain than most people could imagine, all because of you. Despite everything, they've grown into strong, resilient, and compassionate individuals. They might have their flaws, but they are good people."
Reginald remained silent, his expression unreadable, as Y/N continued.
"Five is incredibly smart and resourceful. He's saved the world more times than you probably know. Luther is strong and has a heart of gold. Diego is passionate and fiercely protective. Allison is kind and uses her powers to help others. Klaus is empathetic and more powerful than you realize. And Viktor, he's brave and incredibly talented. They all stick together, no matter what. That's something you should be proud of."
Her voice trembled slightly with emotion. "They are so much more than the sum of their powers or their mistakes. They are your children, and they deserve your pride and love, not your disdain."
Unbeknownst to Y/N, Five and his siblings had entered the room, drawn by the sound of her impassioned speech. They stood just outside the doorway, listening intently, their hearts swelling with gratitude and emotion.
Reginald's face remained a mask of cold detachment, but something flickered in his eyes. "You seem quite convinced of their worth," he said slowly.
"I am," Y/N replied without hesitation. "Because I see the good in them every day. They are extraordinary, not just because of their abilities, but because of who they are as people. And if you can't see that, then you're the one who's flawed."
For a moment, there was only silence. Then, Reginald nodded curtly. "I see. Well, you're entitled to your opinion."
With that, he turned and walked away, leaving Y/N standing there, her heart pounding in her chest.
As soon as he was out of earshot, Five and his siblings rushed into the room, their expressions a mix of surprise and admiration.
"Y/N," Diego said, his voice soft with emotion, "that was... incredible."
"Yeah, you really told him," Klaus added, his usual cheeky demeanor giving way to genuine appreciation.
Luther placed a hand on Y/N's shoulder. "Thank you. For standing up for us."
Y/N smiled, tears of relief and happiness in her eyes. "You all deserve to be seen for who you really are. I'm just glad I could help."
Viktor nodded, his eyes shining. "We're lucky to have you with us, Y/N."
Five pulled Y/N into a tight embrace, his voice filled with gratitude. "I love you, Y/N. Thank you for defending us."
Y/N hugged him back, feeling the warmth and love of the family around her. "I love you too, Five. Always."
In that moment, surrounded by the people she had come to love and cherish, Y/N knew that they would always have each other. And that was something truly worth fighting for.
