Both Five and Eight were just about done with their siblings. Yes, only approximately 30 minutes in. The largest reason being that it was the end of the world and they just didn't seem to give a shit.
"Well it's all on us then"
previously on The Adventures with Eight 🎶...
'Hm' Me and five left the room. "I see nothings changed..." Five said "That's it? That's all you guys have to say?" Allison backed. "What else is there to say? The circle of life." Five said still following me.

Your POV:
Five and I split off into our childhood rooms so that we can get a chance to change into fitting clothes. "Goodbye old jeans..." I sighed. I looked into my closet and found nothing but 10 identical versions of my academy uniform. "Ah- such variety." I changed into them while putting my leather jacket over it. It was really my favorite piece of clothing. It was a rustic brown with worn patches on its sleeves. I walked out to the hall waiting for five. He walked out with his hands in his pockets. "Woah, went back to your old aesthetic I see?" I said walking up to him.
"Not about to let go of that jacket?" "Yes sir..."
Five went down stairs while I went to explore the rest of the rooms.
Fives POV:
I stared at my own mural blankly "Nice to know dad didn't forget me" ... "Read your book by the way" I said turning towards Vanya "Found it in the library that was still standing" "I thought it was pretty good,all things considered and definitely ballsy giving up all the families secrets"
"I'm sure that went over well." I watched as Vanya expression became quite condescending. "They hate me" she said emotionless.
"Oh, there are worse things that can happen" "Like what happened to Ben?" She replied. We turned away from each other, giving a second of contemplation and remembrance.

Nietzsche once said, "Man is as a rope...Stretches between the animal and the superhuman...a rope over an abyss...It is a dangerous crossing, a dangerous looking back-a dangerous trembling and halting."
Vanya blows the whistle. The staircase was long, and the room it was located was narrow. At the bottom of those steps were the other 7 of the Academy. They were all dressed in Forest Green track suits and were pushing to get to the top.
"As much as you much strive for individual greatness, and strive for much for it won't come to you of its own accord...You must also remember that there is no individual stronger than the collective."
Number One is in the lead of the stair race that is until Five teleports and steals his rank.
"That's not fair! Fives cheating!" He declares "Oh I see how we're playing..." Eight says before using her telekinesis to hold everyone in there place. "Eight!" The academy shouted in unison.
Eight sunk into her shadow...the rest of her siblings watched as the dark streak pasted quickly under their feet.
"They both adapted." Hargreeves adds. ——— "The ties that bind you together, make you stronger than you are alone..."
The whirring of the tattoo pen caused great fear into the Hargreeve children that day. Ben sat in the chair, eyes shielded from the man holding the pen. While the umbrella symbol was being pierced into his skin.
Allison cried in Klaus's arms due to the pain. In the four chairs in front of Ben, there sat the petrified faces of Five, One, Six, and Eight. Eights hand was interwoven between fives fingers. As her foot tapped aggressively against the floor board.
"They will make you impervious to the pain and hardship the world will thrust upon you."
"Believe me when I tell you... Life will be hard... It will be painful..."
"We can accomplish anything when we accept responsibility together."
Hargreeve's sat on the edge of Luther's bed connecting the receptors to his temples. The wires from each child stretched to a desk monitor . Where Hargreeves would take his observations.
