Whisper in Time - Five x fem!reader

02

JUST AS I cozied myself into my bed, my phone rang.

"Who is this and what do you want?" I asked, annoyance filling my tone.

"Y/N. It's Luth- wait. You don't have my number saved?"

"I do, I was just trying to be dramatic. Now what do you want?"

"Meet me at the academy. Viktor's in trouble."

I hung up just in time for him to finish his sentence and sprung out of bed.

——————————————————————————

"Okay, Luther, we're here. What is it?" Five asked, me drowsily holding his arm.

"It says 'Your brother Viktor has been kidnapped. Follow my exact instructions, and no harm will come to him.'" he read from the note, passing it to Allison when he was done.

"Alright. Any idea who might be behind this?" Five asked, me losing my grip on his arm to sit on the dry-rotted couch behind us.

"My money's on you-know-who." Diego spoke.

"Dad? Come on. Dad didn't kidnap Viktor. He doesn't give a shit about us." Klaus defended.

Diego leaned into Lila to tell her something, her face twisting.

"Five, can't you just call your CIA buddies?" Allison asked while folding her arms.

"Please do so I can go the fuck to sleep." I said, leaning over and rubbing my temples.

"Excuse her. She gets violent about her beauty sleep." he said, furrowing his eyebrows slightly. I looked up and flipped him off. "Well, the CIA doesn't investigate kidnappings. That's the FBI."

"Wait. Hey, hey, hey, no, no. We don't need anyone. We can handle this." Diego said, holding his hand out.

"Yeah. We're not exactly a team anymore, Diego."

"Or ever were." Ben spoke.

"And, you know. Then there's the whole 'no powers' thing." Lila added.

"No. I don't care. If Viktor's in trouble, I'm in, right?" Luther asked.

"What are you looking at me for? I'm not your mother." Lila asked Diego who was staring holes into her head.

"I'm in."

"Good luck."

"What?"

"You can't even run up a flight of stairs without getting a coronary."

"I'm in the best goddamn shape of my life."

"Jesus. Okay, anyway, now what?" Allison asked.

"It says we're supposed to meet at Sy's Dry Cleaning on 5th Avenue." Luther said, reading the note he now has back.

"Stop grab-assing. Let's go." I said angrily, just wanting to go to bed.

There were a couple of cheers for our plan, and we piled into Diego's van.

We arrived outside quickly, and all hopped out.

"Stay behind Five. He's got the gun." Lila ordered.

We opened the door to a dark dry cleaners, Five clearing each room with his gun and its flashlight.

"Guys! Can't you smell that? This place is a chemical wasteland." Klaus whisper-shouted.

"Probably your upper lip." I teased, making myself laugh before getting it together. "Sorry. Love you."

We followed Five back into a room, spotting a tied-up Viktor with a bag over his head.
