Suggested Song:
"Je-Jesus!" Allison yells as a loud electric bang wakes each of them up to a heightened state
In front of the four Hargreeves siblings, lay Five, groaning as he lay on the bar counter. All of them sigh in terror as they try to regain normal heart rates.
"You guys, am I still high, or do you see him, too?" Klaus says, sitting up slowly from the couch as he frowns at Five
Diego shakes his head as they all watch their brother roll of the bar into a stumbled stand
"Five, where have you been?" Luther asks sternly as he helps him stand up properly on his feet, Allison helping catch him
"Are you all right?" She asks slightly outraged as Klaus stumbles from the couch over to the rest of the group
"Who did this?" Luther asks, holding him up straight
Five sighs, taking the coffee from Allisons hands "Irrelevant" He croaks out, throwing his head back and taking in a large sip of the coffee he took from Allison

"I'm sorry, am I the only one that's skeptical here?" Allison says, frustrated at her brothers carelessness at the situation "I mean, how exactly do you know al of this about... what's his name?"
Five sighs, staring up at his sister across the room as he shifts against the table he leant on "Harold Jenkins. You know those lunatics in masks who attacked the house?"
"Oh, yeah, I think I remember those guys" Klaus sarcastically sighs
"Yeah, the ones that attacked us while you were getting drunk" Diego retorts, a similar sarcastic tone in his voice as he acted like that was completely fine
Five sighs, paying them no mind "Yeah, them. They were sent by the Temps Commission to stop me from coming back and preventing the end of life on earth"
Allison frowns, her arms crossed as she tried to understand "The Temps what?" She ask, raising an eyebrow at her brother as he begins to feel frustrated
"My former employer. They monitor all of time and space to make sure that whatever is supposed to happen... happens. They believe the apocalypse is coming in three days. So I went to Commission headquarters and intercepted a message that was meant for said lunatics 'Protect Harold Jenkins'. So he must be responsible for the apocalypse"
The whole group stares at Five, confused. Silence as all of them try to process what he was saying. Suddenly, the whole group breaks into an argument as all try to ask questions at once, speaking loudly over one another.
Klaus, who was in the corner, attempting to deal with the painful withdrawal did not pay any attention to what Five was explaining. Ben watched him with frown as he stared blankly at the floor.
"My skin is on fire..." He mumbles to himself, Ben, growing worried of his state
But none of the others had paid attention to how Klaus was behaving. None of them had the time to.
"Do you have any idea how insane this sounds?" Allison argues above all mumbles and unkind words
Five sighs, looking up at his sister "You know what else is insane?... I look like a 13 year old boy. Klaus talks to the dead, Adeline can make anything burst into flames with a single touch and Luther thinks he's fooling everybody with that overcoat! Everything about us is insane. It always has been" Five says, frustrated as he steps forward with gritted teeth
"He's got a point there" Klaus murmurs, leaning to look up at the rest with tired eyes
"We didn't choose this life, we're just living it. For the next three days anyways" Five sighs, shrugging his shoulders slightly
