five and me ↴ the umbrella academy

chapter fourteen ↴ that ain't it sis

"she's not here." Five announced as they met at the top of the staircase at the academy.

"she's not in any of the rooms either." Diego replied, Kenzie adding, "or downstairs."

Kenzie licked her lips. she had a really, really bad feeling about this.

"well I'm out." Diego announced, patting Klaus' shoulder and walking past.

they all turned around and watching him walk away. "wait, wait," Klaus tried to stop him, but to no avail. "where are you going?" Kenzie asked. "Vanya is still out there and so are Hazel and Cha-Cha."

"I know. I'm gonna get my things and then I'm outta here." Diego answered, spinning to face them all. "I got some unfinished business with those fools."

Kenzie watched him walk away with a shrug and turned back to Five and Klaus, who sighed and leaned against the banister.

"hey, did dad say anything about the apocalypse when you spoke to him?" Five questioned, hands in his pockets as always. Klaus sighed. "Any clues as to how it happened?"

Klaus looked up at the pair with an almost defeated expression. "no, no clues. truly terrific shave. but no clues."

Five grunted, and took Kenzie's hand as they departed down the stairs.

"you know, come to think of it, he did mention something about my potential, and how I've barely scratched the surface of my—"

"how did he know about the apocalypse?" Five muttered to himself as they descended the stairs.

Klaus rolled his eyes. "I don't know, but listen. I mean, this who jumping through time thing of yours, how did you, how did you know how to do that?"

Kenzie frowned. "Klaus, are you okay?"

"I didn't!" Five snapped. "You'd realise that if you were actually sober."

"hey! don't be mean, sweetheart." Kenzie lightly swatted his shoulder as he dragged her to the next room.

"hey! I am sober!" Klaus complained. "I been sober for two— almost two days now." "yeah, two days." "feels like forty five years." Klaus whispered, which got Kenzie into a burst of giggles.

"who are you kidding, Klaus?! I've seen you fidgeting all day!" Five replied smartly.

Klaus rolled his eyes and said, "well, I guess we're both fighting our addictions, then."

Kenzie rolled her eyes. "oh here we go again." She murmured under her breath.

"I'm not an addict." "yeah, you are. you're addicted to a drug called the apocalypse." he provoked.

"you're wrong." Five claimed, toying with the glass eye.

"first sign, denial."

Five let go of Kenzie's hand and space jumped in front of Klaus, who had turned around, raising a finger. "you and I, we're not the same."

Klaus chuckled. "I've seen that look in the eye of someone who doesn't know who they are without there high anymore. trust me. you gotta just let it go."

SMASH!

the glass eye they had obsessed over smashed against the wall, sending pieces of glass everywhere.

Five pushed past him, and Kenzie offered her hand. he linked his with hers and they left to the next room, Klaus saying behind them, "figuratively, but yeah, that works, too. where did you get those sunglasses from Kenz?"

Kenzie sat on a barstool next to Five, who mixed some kind of alcoholic beverage and offered it to her. "think we actually stopped it, Pixie?" he murmured sullenly.

Kenzie, in a moment of mindlessness, grabbed his jaw and turned his head, and smashed their lips together. "I don't know, sweetheart. but if you have, what now?" Five shrugged. "now what?" he let out a small laugh. "I don't know."

a knock at the door alerted them of someone's presence. "I'll get it." he said softly, kissing her lips again.

Kenzie nodded and he came back a few moments later with the man she recognised as Hazel, who also held a gun.

"you're here to kill me?" Five asked, sitting back down on the barstool.

it seemed like he finally registered he was holding a gun. "oh, shit, sorry, old habits die hard." he tucked it away. "well, I can understand why you might feel that way, you know . . . "

Five took a sip of his margarita and shrugged. "well, you attacked our house, tried to kill my family, and kidnapped my brother." "and that ain't it sis." Kenzie added, watching him wearily.

"well, there's not much I can do about the past, don't forget I'm not the only killer in the room. you got your own bloody history pal. speaking of which, the job you did in calhoun, that shit's legendary." "what the fuck is a calhoun?" Kenzie asked, but to her dismay was ignored by both men. "well you know what? if you hoes are gonna ignore me I'm just gonna go talk shit with my main bitch Delores. move over boo."

Kenzie sat on the counter then spun around so her legs dangled off the other side and she was facing Delores.

"okay so i saw this really cute top, right?" Kenzie blabbered, taking a sip of a margarita and cringing. "and i really fucking wanted it! but they had none left in my size and it was the most tragic thing to happen to me since fourth grade when this bitch Jenny cut off my ponytails. she even used those ratchet ass safety scissors!"

grabbing her phone, she went onto her Instagram and found picture of "that bitch Jenny" and showed Delores. Kenzie could swear her main girl was saying, "mhm bitch, a mess."

"like look at those eyes! sure they be lookin' like gorgeous pots of honey, but I swear they're evil! mhm see girl, I knew you would believe me."

(AUTHORS NOTE)
