"I'M FUNSHINE." the teddy bear man greets Five and Levi with an awaiting expression.
Kali had taken Eleven to the roof for a talk, ignoring the protests from Five who was worried for El, unsure if he should trust these people, given the boy doesn't trust anyone easily.
Levi stared up at the guy with wide eyes, clutching Ben in his arms tightly, trying to hide behind the octopus which obviously didn't work.
Five glared at Axel who snickers at Twelve's actions, "What do you think is funny, asshole?" he snapped his voice dripping with so much venom it caused Funshine to share a glance with the others.
Funshine held Axel back when he lunged at Five causing the green-eyed boy to smirk while grabbing Levi's hand.
"Axel, calm it." The girl with the big bow said, glaring at the man before grinning at the two boys. "Aren't you a ray of sunshine?!"
Five sarcastically smiled at the woman going to make a snarky comment but stopped as Levi nudged the boy giving him a warning look.
Five looked at him weirdly, because Levi normally doesn't tell anyone what to do, but just rolls his eyes and stopped himself.
"I'm Levi. This is..." The boys trailed off looking towards the boy next to him, not knowing if he wanted to be called his real name or number.
"Five."
Twelve stared at the boy confused and wanted to reach out and comfort the boy as Five looked down in sadness. Being called Felix gave him memories of his time with his mother.
He had thought about her a lot. How she'd tell him stories before bedtime. Not the cliche bedtime stories, but ones about how his mom met the love of her life.
Talking about how it was hard growing up in a place where judgmental eyes lingered as two girls walked down the streets holding hands getting catcalled on, and being called horrific things.
Five remembered how his mom said she came up with his name. Her partner Fiona and their doner Alex, the woman who loved her unconditionally, and the man who was their best friend who changed their life forever.
Five also remembered the day he found his mom lying limply in her bed, unmoving. The seven-year-old thought she was playing a game, but he soon realized it wasn't.
That was the day he was taken to the lab.
Eventually, he forgot his name, being so used to the number Five. But once he heard it again his mind went into a wormhole of memories that Five cursed about because he wasn't sure he wanted to remember them.

It was the afternoon time the next day when Kali came and woke up the three, before bringing them downstairs to be introduced to her group, properly.
