Dysfunctional ~ F.Hargreeves

60} The Great Universe Reset

Jenna carefully wandered the halls, keeping her guard up for anything suspicious on her way. Eventually, she ran into Allison and Viktor.
"Jenna," Viktor looked at her with panic in his eyes, "Have you seen Five?"
"No, why?" Jenna asked, "I thought he was with you two."
"He was right behind me, I swear," Allison looked around the hall and found no sign of him anywhere.
"Great, now I have to solve the case of my missing husband," Jenna sighed, "Just what I want to be doing right now."
"Five?" Viktor started to check in all of the surrounding rooms, "Five?"
"I'm going to kick your ass, Five Hargreeves," Jenna threatened, "God, I hate babysitting his ass. I'll see you guys later."
"No, you can't leave," Viktor grabbed her arm, "We already lost Five, we can't lose another person."
"Fine," Jenna started to lead the way down the hall, "Then stay behind me and I'll lead the way."
"Who died and put you in charge?" Allison crossed her arms over her chest defensively.
"He's my idiot husband, not yours. Come on."

The three roamed the halls calling for Five around every corner, but found no sign of him anywhere. Upon each new twist or turn, Jenna felt them walk through a sort of weird force field, almost like the hotel didn't want them to actually go anywhere.
"Where is he?" Viktor thought aloud.
"How the hell am I supposed to know when Jenna doesn't even know!?" Allison grunted.
"Come on. We can't keep doing this. Please, how do we get back to the way things were? You know, before that fake apology and-"
"And the lies?"
"Allison, come on. How do we do that?"

Allison stopped walking and turned to her brother, "I don't know that we can."
"Guys, can you stop-" Jenna tried to mediate, but the words got stuck in her throat once she heard a weird gong sound reverberating around her, "Did you guys hear that?"
"No, but," Allison gulped, "Holy shit, the floor's shaking. What's going on?"
"I think the asshole rang the bell," Jenna quietly muttered.
"We should get back to the lobby," Allison suggested.

"Yeah," Viktor nodded and followed Allison and Jenna.
"Which one of our moronic siblings do you think rang the damn bell?" Allison asked half-heartedly
Before anyone could answer Allison, one of the guardians burst through the wall right in front of her and Jenna. He swung his ax down and hit Allison in the shoulder.
"Run!" Jenna told her in-laws, "Go!"
Allison was on the floor, screaming, with Viktor aiding her. Right as the guardian prepared to take a final blow to Allison, Jenna threw it backwards with her powers and into the wall at the end of the hallway.
Looks like I'm gonna be fighting these things a lot. Conserve your energy. You've got this.

"Get the fuck up," Jenna helped Viktor lift Allison up, "We need to run. Now!"
They scrambled down the hall until they made their way to the massive communal showers.
"Here," Jenna slowly sat Allison down, "I can help heal that."
"Are you sure?" She asked, "You're going to drain yourself."
"It's fine. Here," She tore off a piece of her shirt and wrapped it around the wound, "I'll tie it off and heal it enough so you don't bleed out from it. Viktor? Help me out?"
Viktor stood next to Allison and tried to calm her down while Jenna did her work.
"You were right, okay?" Allison said to her brother, trying to distract herself from the pain as Jenna did her handy work, "I made a deal with Dad."
"Luther and Klaus?" Viktor checked.
"No, I had nothing to do with that. I swear," Allison winced in pain.
"Almost done," Jenna ran her fingers over the cut to seal it shut.

"Why tell me now?" Viktor questioned.
"Because I need you to believe me, okay? That I did this for all of us. Luther and Klaus too."
"What did he offer you?"
"I need you to trust me. Look at me. If we get through this, everything's gonna be okay."
"Done!" Jenna wiped her nose and let go of Allison, just in time before the guardian burst through the door.
"You two go," Jenna ushered them to the doors on either side of the room, "I've got this."
