The Space Between Us (S4) || Five Hargreeves

☕️ Chapter Four ☕️

A/N: Hey! I just want to leave this here to apologize for the short time skips in this chapter, but they make sense I swear. Anyway- hope you all enjoy!

I lay on the sofa, covering my eyes with one of my arms. I'm trying my hardest to just keep at ease and pretend as though whatever's going on, isn't. It's a lot harder than I thought.

Turns out everyone else is feeling the same way, except Klaus. He seems to feel all rainbows and daises. What was something we did last night that caused us to feel like this?

"Not that it's anything to celebrate over, but..." I uncover my eyes and slowly sit up with a sigh, since it's not helping any. "Did everyone gain back what they originally had? I can, uh, see that Luther has. Five and I have as well."

Everyone chimes in, saying something in agreement. At least we're not going to have any baby-steppers with new gained abilities.

"Actually-" Lila starts. "I have this really neat thing now. Watch-"

"Lila, no-" Diego attempts to stop her, but it was already too late.

Lila starts to shoot fucking lasers from her eyes and decides to look all the way around the room, making everyone duck down in hopes of not being sliced in half.

"Holy shit!" Someone exclaims. I couldn't even make it out as to who it was since Lila shooting the lasers again, going the other direction. I think it might've been Klaus though.

"Be more careful!" Five exclaims, his hand hovering over my head. As usual, not thinking about his own safety, still the action itself is very endearing.

Diego stands back up from crouching. "How do you even do that..?"

"Gun to my head, I swear I couldn't tell you." Lila admits, sounding strangely truthful.

"The sconces!" Luther practically cries out, as he picks up a piece of a broken sconce. "It took me ages to find these!"

"No one gives a shit about sconces!" Viktor yells, energy beginning to resonate around him. "I want answers! Now!"

The whole foundation starts to tremble due to Viktor's immense power. So much so, that everyone tries calming him down, including me. Course- this place falling in on us would stop making us feel this way...why the hell am I thinking like that?

"Relax, Kodiak Jack." Ben finally enters the conversation, as he descends from upstairs. He enters the living room with us and holds up the jar with Marigold in it. "It was me."

He continues. "You all are so terminally...emo to do the right thing, so I spiked your sake with Marigold when I went to 'take a piss' last night."

Simultaneous gasps and groans echo throughout the room. Of course he did this. He was very intent on wanting his own powers back last night. I guess he just decided to fuck around and see if it would work on all of us as well.

Five throws his hands up shortly, before dropping them. "Why am I not even the slightest bit surprised?"

"You had no right to do that, asshole!" Viktor is almost at a screaming point now. I really don't blame him.

I fall back onto the sofa, bringing my hands to my head. "We were happy with our lives the way they were, dumbass."

Ben just waves a hand. "Trust me, you all will be thanking me later." He trudges his way over to where Allison is sitting, causing her to move because of his new tails.

Luther quietly pokes one, earning a swift smack to the face. "Eugh...why is it cold?"

"Real question is why the hell would you touch it?" Lila asks rhetorically.
