There is approximately 6 more days until the world ends. And Five and I have no lead or clues on how to stop it. All we have is this eye. And from the previous hours, we have had no luck on finding who owns it. Today is a scope out day, all we need is to spot someone with a missing eye. And there we go, we've saved the world! Simple, so very..very..simple. Except for the fact the person missing it hasn't even lost an eye yet.
I sat in the back of the van picking at my nails. I was sooo bored. Five and I have been fairly silent, but the good kind of silence. The kind that doesn't make you feel awkward but more a feeling of comfort and acceptance. This is why he is my favorite person.
Chatter from kids on the outside of the van had swarmed my mind. Suddenly making me feel empty. When I was their age I never had a friends to hang out with, or parks to go to. I stayed at home and trained to avoid my own death. Made me feel alone...
"Noooo!" The horrified voice of Five ringed in my ears. He was reminded too. I got out of my thought and grabbed his hand. His breathing was quick and his eyes were in another world. i placed my free hand on his head and saved him from his own memories. When he returned, his breathing decreased, and he looked over to me. "Thanks, I thought I was in that shit hole again" I nodded and returned to my place in the back.
"Five, eight, hello" I turned to Luther Knocking on the door.
Five reached and unlocked the door, I grinned as he struggled to get in. And suddenly I was joined in the back by Klaus. Which I casually waved to. He grabbed Dolores and hugged her close. "A little privacy guys were really hitting it off back here..." an empty can of soda flew to his face. He shrieked playfully. "What are you doing here! We're trying to do something!" five shouted. "Why the temper, aren't you with miss perfect right here?" Five stayed silent. "Also, any luck finding your one-eyed man?"
"Nope, not even close." I replied.
"Whats he talking about?" Luther questioned. "Do you really believe that? he's Klaus." Five snickered. "What do you need Luther." Luther fixated himself in his seat, "We believe that grace had something to do with Dad's death. So we need you to come back to academy, it's important." Five smirked, "Important you all have no idea what's important!"
"Hey did I ever tell you guys about the time I waxed my ass with chocolate pudding?" Klaus chuckled. "it was so painful. "You know Klaus, I respect you and all but that was so very out of context..." I said with a enthusiastic voice. "What are you still doing here?'' I whip the back door open with my telekinesis and he leaves. But that was quickly a mistake because there was about to be some harmful words traded between Five and Luther. "What the hell are you up to?"
"You wouldn't understand."
"Try me. The last time I checked, I'm still the leader of this family."
"Well, last I checked i'm 28 years older than you"
"You know what your problem is?"
"Really hoping you'll tell me."
"You think your better than us."
"Hey Hey guys lets not do this right before-" But my interference was quickly ignored. Brother ammirite...
"You always have. Even when we were kids. Truth is your just as messed up as the rest of us are. We're all you have. And you know it."
"I don't think that I'm better than you, Number One...I know I am." Luther looks away and chuckles at Fives answer. "Y/N and I have experienced and went through things that you can't even comprehend."
"Just to come back here and save you all."

Time Skip: Night
Here's the update..Five suggested that we stayed in this area for the next hour after Luther left. It is now 7pm. My body is now spread across the entire back of the van. Dolores has made her way beside Five in the passengers seat. I now know his favorite. I am laying here...trapped listening to Fives conversation with Dolores. "You know, you don't have to tell me that..." Literally no physical reply. "I know there are only six days left..." Still no physical reply, I should be used to this by now but i'm not. "Yeah, you got a better idea?" replies literally nobody. "Okay." I shook my head and yeeted that mannequin out of the front seat. Jumping in the chair. "Hey," I smiled. Five turned between Dolores and Me. "Treat her a little nicely will ya'"
"Yeah I get it...asshole." He turned to me and smiled. He kissed my cheek. WoAh so uNeXpeCted...
"There's our guy," Five signaled to a man exiting the building. He was carrying what appeared to be a case. He shadily handed it to a man in a car, which in return, gave him an envelope of some sort. "What the hell is he up to-" I was going to reply with my hypothesis, but he had already teleported elsewhere. I decided to take my own lead and return back to the academy. One because I wanted to see my siblings and Two, just because I need to gather that information that Luther was addressing earlier today.
-You walk to the academy-
About 100 feet before approaching the doors, I spot Cha Cha and Hazel fidgeting with the door. I hide against an alley wall as I watch them work. Hazel walks up to the door with an air tank, he bursts the lock with air pressure. I sneak forward, following them closely into the house. So far, I see no sign of my siblings or Pogo and Mom. That's good. I stayed silent, each step I took was light and my breathing slowed. I was lead to the living room where Five and I's mural was hung up. "I guess Dad really missed us," I said aloud. "Dang, my younger days...sigh" They turned to me and grinned, "That's the kid." My choice of weapon, cards. I summoned a deck of cards and shuffled them with the graceful movements from my fingertips. They inflated their Halloween mask and knocked their guns. "Hey as much as I would love to fight, I can't risk my families lives so can we take this outside?" They nodded no and fired multiple bullets in my direction. I catch them and fire them the other way. Sending my cards at them, at a speed so fast they become brutal weapons. "That's a hardcore paper cut," I said referring to the new gash on Hazels cheek. I run to the stair well and see Diego. He starts and joins the fight. Cha-Cha and Hazels bullets make a mess of the entire house. Pillows burst and walls crumble. Later Luther and Allison join as well, making this a family affair. Which is not what I wanted.
After 5 solid minutes of blood and glory Cha-Cha gets me in a choke hold in the foyer. "For all the trouble you've put us through, why shouldn't I kill you right now." I laugh as blood drips from my lip, "damn this wimpy thirteen year old body," i feel her grip tighten around my neck. I was seconds away from losing conscious. Right before my vision fades I see "the Handler." Her snake like eyes and pale blonde 30's hair. "Drop her." I fell and landed on my knees. "Nice to see you again," i waved.
"I am going to make you an offer,"
"Yes, one of these. How is this gonna fuck up my life now?"
"You, and only you, will return back to the Commission. From there Five and your family will be safe." Her voice was distant in my ears.
