BLIPPING BACK, DELORES ended up back in the academy- even though she didn't even intend to be there. She saw Claire and Lila's Family all gathered together, and her heart pounded at the fact her mother wasn't there... until.
"Delores, bébé? Que se passe-t-il?" a familiar French voice rang from behind her, and she immediately turned around and rushed into her mother's arms.
"Maman, tu m'as tellement manqué." Delores held her mother tightly, crying in her mother's arms, which caused Beatrice to be even more confused.
Delores tugged back and frowned as she gazed up at her mother. The dusty mansion enveloped them in sadness.
"Five brought me here. What is happening? You look so old, you-" Her familiar accent only caused a sob to leave Delores's lips, as she held onto her mother like a child.
She just wanted her mom to hold her hand through everything.
"Delores." Five rushed into the foyer, with a sigh of relief, causing Delores to frown and immediately turn to him, rushing into his arms.
Five held her tightly- not wanting to admit what wracked his brain ever since he spoke to his other selves. He didn't want to lose Delores.
Beatrice watched the interaction with confusion- unsure when Delores was willing to even let Five put an arm over her shoulders because she would barf.
"Come on." Five minutes to his wife, as she clung to him as if he would run away the moment she let go, his arm staying wrapped around him, as he led her to the living room of the academy.
"Phoenix!" Lila and Klaus said in unison, "Five." they both also said in unison, as Delores wiped her face with the sleeve of her coat.
"Why did you two come back?" Luther asked as Beatrice leaned on the entryway to the living room, not saying anything, "Things are pretty bleak here."
"Fortunately, I had a, uh, a long and eye-opening conversation with myself." Five explained, and Delores immediately lifted her head to look at him with a confused expression.
"Me too- but they were weird and-" Five looked down at Delores as she stammered on, and the family stared at them with confusion written on their faces.
