Dysfunctional ~ F.Hargreeves

71} Family Feud

The Hargreeves siblings immediately shot up from their seats as soon as the memory was finished, gasping for air and ripping their harnesses off. Jenna's eyes snapped open and Five immediately wrapped his arms around her to help hold her upright.
"You murdered our brother!" Allison screamed in Reginald's face.
"Children!" Reg tried to calm everyone down, "Whatever anger you may feel towards me is misdirected. May I remind you that it was the other Sir Reginald Hargreeves who committed this horrible act?"

"What are you all going on about?" Lila asked, confused given she hadn't seen the memory.
"When we were all kids, the 'other' Hargreeves killed Ben and something weird happened to Jennifer," Luther glared at Reginald with nothing but pure hatred.
"And it seems he had a perfectly valid reason for doing so," Reg shrugged.
"That was our brother!" Viktor wiped away a few stray tears, "He was innocent!"
"Yes, but-"
"You are no different than the other Hargreeves," Luther growled.
"You're both fucking psychopaths!" Diego snapped.

Jenna flinched back at his harsh words, earning a gentle and sorry smile back from him and a snugger, more secure hug from Five.
"It's not his fault," Abigail broke her silence.
"Abby, you don't have to-" Jenna started to say, but was cut off.
"It's fine, darling," She gave Jenna a sweet smile, "Reg is not responsible for what happened to your brother and not even close to responsible for what happened to Jennifer. I am. Years ago, I synthesized a new element. The very essence of the universe."
"Aka, Marigold," Jenna elaborated.
"And at the same moment, unbeknownst to me, a second particle was created. Durango. When Marigold and Durango interact, they cause... a reaction, a physical reaction. Unstoppable, irrevocable. The extinction of everything we know."
"The Cleanse," Five sighed.
She nodded, "By the time I realized what was happening, it was too late for our world."
"You couldn't have known, darling," Reg rubbed her back.

"I don't mean to be a dick and all... but what the fuck does any of this have to do with us?" Lila scratched the side of her head anxiously.
"The Durango is inside of Jennifer," Jenna clapped her hands together, earning everyone's attention, "That's why I was so adamant that Ben didn't go after her because you guys can't come into contact with her or anyone else with Durango in their systems."
"And what happens if we do?" Lila crossed her arms over her chest.
"You guys end the world," Jenna sighed heavily.
"That's why Jenna's been on a special mission," Abigail set her hands on Jenna's shoulders.
"Mission?" Five quickly pulled back from Jenna to give her and Abby space and to allow him a better look at her while she explained herself.

"Since I found my way out of the subway system, don't ask," Jenna shushed Diego before he could get a question out, "I found who I thought was Allison, but was really her doppelgänger who belonged in this timeline. I discovered that all of you had doppelgängers like how Five thought the Sparrow Academy timeline would have, except here, they all contained Durango. So, I slowly went around killing all of them by extracting the Durango from them. The only two left are Ben's doppelgänger and Jennifer. Ben's doppel is currently on his way to me, thanks to Hazel and ChaCha, but I need him and Jennifer to meet before I take their Durango, or else I fuck up the timeline for when everything gets reset."

"That's a lot to take in," Lila stared blankly in front of her, deep in thought.
"What..." Diego crept up next to Jenna and whispered, "What subway?"
"Okay," Jenna shrugged Abigail's hands off of her as well as Diego's, "And this is why I was doing this by myself. God! I need to go out here and find Jennifer and end this shit."
"Oh no, you don't," Five grabbed her wrist, "You are very pregnant, with my kid nonetheless, like hell I'm letting you go out on your own."
"I've done it for how many months? I think I'm more than capable, Five," Jenna pulled out of his grip.
"Not to intervene on your bickering," Luther hesitantly interrupted, "But we might have a problem."
