Leonard Peabody / Harold Jenkins
"How many days left for this?" I was eating the chips I found in the bag Five had brought. "6 days left." I nodded slowly. We had been waiting all morning. I was here because it interested me more than my father's death. Luther was going to blame one of us again.
"Are you going to the academy?" I shook my head. "My father's death doesn't really interest me." He looked at me. "Are you still mad about that?"
"Yes." He didn't say anything. "You may think I'm exaggerating, but that was the first time I felt like I was going to die." He nodded slightly. I asked him the question to change the subject. "What was the end of the world like?" He sighed. "It was hard, I thought I was going crazy for a moment."
"Didn't anyone try to stop it?" He looked away. "You tried." I turned to Five. "What?" He sighed again. I thought Five was emotionless sometimes, but inside he was alive.
"You were all together when I found you but... You were all dead, all of you." His eyes went to my hair. Then he turned to the front. "So what will change this time? I mean, we didn't succeed the first time and I don't think we can succeed again."
"I'm in this time." Maybe he was telling the truth, but I still didn't think so. Even when we were united, we couldn't be united. The simplest thing is that we should all be at the academy right now, but we were here. They probably didn't call Vanya, Klaus was drinking somewhere, Diego got angry and left after listening to two or three sentences.
We weren't able to be a family. What brought me out of my thoughts was Five hitting my arm. "Look." The doctor from yesterday was coming out with a bag in his hand. "Here's our man."
The man walked towards a car and gave the bag to the man inside the car. "What is this man after?" Five turned to me. "Let's go." He teleported away before I could say anything.

Lance walked towards his car with his dog in his hand. The moment the man got in his car, Five teleported us to the car. I thought it was intentional that he teleported me to the dog. As I got closer to the door, the man saw us. "Oh my God!" Five put the knife in his hand to the man's neck. "One chance. You only have one chance. You only have one chance to tell me what happened in that lab." The man began to speak with fear.
"I make prosthetic devices for fake patients." I couldn't focus much because of my fear. The dog next to me was approaching me. If he got any closer, Five would continue on his own. "I bill insurance companies and sell them on the black market for cash."
"Eyeballs too?"
"They are my biggest sale. They are selling like hotcakes. I have a list, maybe 20 people are in line. They may have already bought it. Without registration." When the dog approached my leg, I cowered in the corner. I couldn't make a sound out of fear.
"I need that list Lance. I need the names and numbers, right now!" He brought the knife closer. "I don't have it. I don't have it on me. The only copy is in the safe in the lab."
"Okay, then start the car." He turned to me, who hadn't said a word for a long time. I was holding my breath in fear because the dog was on me. He was about to laugh, but he turned to the man. "And the dog will stay by your side."
The man turned around quickly in fear and took the dog off me. I breathed out in fear. "Curse the day I got involved in this."
⚡
Five, me and Lance quickened our steps when we saw the smoke on the road. When we realized that Five and I were coming from the lab, we started running. "No, no, no!" When we got to the front of the lab, an explosion suddenly happened.
As I got up from the ground, I put my hand to my head in pain. We were thrown by the impact of the explosion. When I pulled my hand away, I saw that my head was bleeding. "Five?" Five was looking at the building with concern and disappointment.
I barely made it to Five's side. "Five? Are you okay?" I scanned his body with my eyes. He teleported away without looking at me.
"Are you kidding me?!"
⚡
"Lorelai!" I turned around when I heard a voice from behind me. When I saw Diego and Luther, I frowned. Diego ran up to me and hugged me all of a sudden. "What's going on?"
"We've been looking for you since yesterday." Diego pulled back. "Where's Five?" I rolled my eyes. "I don't care. He left me, he's probably at home or something." Luther shook his head. "He's not at home."
"Who cares?" His eyes found my head. "What did you do?" I rolled my eyes too. "I got like this because of Five, but it didn't help." I looked at his face and laughed. "You're talking to me, but your face is no different."
"That's why we're looking for you and Five." I frowned. Luther interrupted. "We'll explain on the way, let's go." I started walking after him, growling. "I hate it, I hate it!"
