We Only See Each Other at Weddings and Funerals (Part 2)

Seventeen years ago

"In five, four, three, two... This is Jim Hellerman, reporting live Channel 2 News outside of the Capital West bank at Main and Sixth. A group of heavily armed men stormed the bank not three hours ago and took an unknown number of hostages,"  The reporter said to the camera holding up his microphone.

Inside of the bank was as previously said a group of men with guns robbing the bank. 

"Hey, get them behind the counter," One of the men shouted pointing towards the group they were holding hostage. Meanwhile, the men were distracted young Allison skipped over to one of them. She smiled up at him sweetly. "Hey, get back with the other," The man ordered but Allison didn't mind him. 

"I heard a rumor," She said making the man look at her weirdly as he got closer down to the girl. 

"What? What did you say?" He asked while Allison just smiled satisfied. She put a hand towards her mouth and whispered to the man. 

"I heard a rumor that you shot your friend in the foot," Allison stepped back letting the man straighten up and he aimed his gun at one of his comrades. He shot him in the foot making him fall down injured.  Just then Luther crashed through the room and started fighting the bad guys with Diego also joining in with his knives. 

"Guns are for sissies. Real men throw knives," He threw two knives hitting a man with them. Just then the set of twins made their appearance in the fight with Klaus trying to keep everyone from touching his sister while Scarlett was just enjoying the fact that she could finally let some steam out. She was just freezing one of the men when she was forcefully grabbed from behind by her waist and held against someone with a gun pressed to her head. 

"Hey, let her go!"  Klaus yelled seeing his twin being held, hostage. Why does this always happen?  The man climbed up on the counter with Scarlett still pressed against his body with the gun still pointed at her head. She rolled her eyes. 

"Hey, buddy you are kinda choking me here, loosen up will ya?" The man just tightened his grip. 

"Shut up. Step back you freaks..." He threatened. 

"Hey careful there buddy," Diego taunted laughing along with others. 

"Yeah, wouldn't want you to get hurt," Allison joined her brother with teasing the man." 

"Step back or I'll shot her head off."  Klaus tried to act brave and tried to laugh with the others at the man's threats but the fact that his twin had the gun pressed against her head was really worrying the hell out of him. One wrong movement and his sister can be shot dead. 

"Or you what?" Number Five appeared on the counter in front of the man in a sitting position. The man went to press the trigger when Five suddenly disappeared. There was a gunshot heard and the man looked at his right where he used to hold the girl to see one of his friends with a hole in his head where he had shot him. He let the body of his friend fall to the ground as he turned around to come face to face with Number Five who had one of his arms snaked around Scarlett's waist while the girl had her arms crossed over her chest. Seeing the pair the man raised his gun to shot them down but unfortunately now the only thing he held in his hand was a stapler. What a pity.  

"That's one badass stapler," Number Five said as he pushed it towards the man's head causing the man to fall off the counter. "That's what you get for trying to shot my girlfriend." Five said pressing a kiss to the girl's cheek. Both of them jumped off the counter, Scarlett landing in Klaus' arms as the boy was waiting for her.
