five and me ↴ the umbrella academy

chapter four ↴ you listen to me, asshole

"as I said to your son earlier, we can't release any patient information without consent."

Kenzie rolled her eyes and stood up, placing her hands on her hips. "yes, we understand that! but we can't get consent if you don't give us a name!" she argued.

"you listen young lady—" "no, you listen to me asshole! it took me forty minutes this morning, prettying myself up, making myself look presentable for someone whom I thought would be appreciative, and yet here we are! so give us the name and we'll be on our merry fucking way you—"

Five stood up and pulled Kenzie against him. "calm down, Pixie." he murmured in her ear softly, sitting her down in the seat.

"look, as I said to your son and your . . . daughter?" "son's girlfriend." Klaus replied smoothly, winking at the two. they rolled their eyes. "right, as I've said, I can't release any information without consent."

Kenzie thought that would be the end of it, but Klaus had other ideas. "what about my consent?" he asked slowly, slyness creeping into his tone.

"what?" the doctor, Five and Kenzie all said at the same time, the teens turning to look at each other confusedly.

"that's right! who gave your permission to put your hands on my son! his girlfriend was crying hysterically this morning!"

"I never laid a hand on your son!" the doctor protested. "really? then how did he get that swollen lip?" "he doesn't have a swollen lip!"

Klaus laughed, then turned around and punched Five in the nose.

Kenzie gasped and shot Klaus her best fuck you face, turning to Five and removing his hand from his lip. "are you okay, Five?" she asked softly, somehow managing to ignore Klaus smashing a snow globe onto his head.

he nodded. "I'm fine, Pixie." he assured, taking her hand in his own. she turned to the doctor, who looked panicked as Klaus had stolen the phone and asked for security.

"listen bitch. in like, sixty seconds, two men are gonna come up here and you know what we'll say? we'll say you beat the shit out of us, and called me a slut. that's for failing to compliment me." she added with an exaggerated eye roll.

Five looked at her impressed, and nodded. "that's right. information— now!"

—

"all this trouble and that eye hasn't even been made yet." Kenzie said as they left the building, Five's hand still clutching onto hers.

"can I get my twenty bucks now or . . ." Klaus trailed off, making Five look at him incredulously. "The world is ending in eight days and all you're worried about is getting high?!"

Kenzie began to rub her thumb in circles, sensing a brewing quarrel between siblings. Kenzie didn't have any siblings, or rather, she didn't anymore. she used to have a younger sister, but she died three years ago due to cancer. her sweet little sister Angelica and her never argued. they never saw the point in it, so this argument was making her tense.

Five, noticing her discomfort, pulled her to his chest and they teleported into a taxi. "fuck, honey you gotta stop doing that!" Kenzie reprimanded as Five said, "just keep driving." to the driver.

she sighed and leaned back against the chair. Five kept his arm around her waist and rested his chin upon her head. "you okay, Pixie?" "yeah, I'm good."
