Beyond The Clock || Number Five x Raven (fem reader)

CHAPTER 17

~*FLASHBACK OF FIVE STUCK IN THE APOCALYPSE*~

Five was sitting in a bunker he found. He had a few items to survive, and of course, Delores. It was now many, many years later.

He chuckled. "Do you remember that, uh, little mansion just outside th city limits?"

He was talking to Delores.

"Where we-" He chuckled again, it looked like Delores said something back to him. "Yeah, well, it turns out the wine cellar was untouched. Picked up a few cases of your favorite Bordeaux."

"Ah, that's an exaggeration. I don't drink too much." Five said to the mannequin.

"You know, I work hard all day. I- Why would you even say that?"

Five heard rubble falling, which was weird. He was all alone in the apocalypse, right?

He grabbed his rifle and swiftly stood up, aiming the gun at the place where the sound was coming from.

There was a woman. She was elegantly dressed in all black. She had sunglasses and a little hat, and a briefcase. She waved at Five.

Five couldn't believe his eyes. This was the first time he saw another human since he got stuck in the apocalypse.

~*END OF FLASHBACK*~

*IN THE ROOM OF DIEGO*

Five was now awake. He sat on the edge of the bed, next to Raven. Luther was sitting in front of his siblings on a chair.

Five had told Luther about the apocalypse that was coming soon.

"When's it supposed to happen? This... apocalypse." Luther asked.

"I can't give you the exact hour, but... from what I could gather, we have 4 days left."

Raven placed her head in her hands. She didn't know how to stop the end of the world, and Five needed her help. He specifically said that. But why her? She felt useless.

"Why didn't you say something sooner?" Luther was shocked.

"It wouldn't have mattered." Five answered him.

"Of course it would. We could have banded together and helped you try to stop this thing."

"For the record, you already tried."

Now, Raven looked up to his brother Five. She didn't know this.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

Five stayed quiet for a while before answering. "I found all of you. Your bodies."

"We die?" Raven asked softly.

"Horribly. You were together, trying to stop whoever it was that ends the world."

"Wait, how do you know that?" Luther asked. He was just as confused as his little sister.

Five grabbed the fake eyeball out of his jacket. "This was clutched in your dead hand when I found you, Luther." He threw the eyeball to his brother. "Must've ripped it out of their head right before you went down."

"Whose head?" Luther looked at the eyeball.

"Like I said, I don't know."

"Well, there's a serial number on the back. Think maybe we could try-"

Raven interrupted him. "No, that's a dead end. It's just another hunk of glass."

Diego bursted open the door of his room. He was furious.
