Who Are We? (Five x Reader) [Umbrella Academy] ~Book 1~

Chapter 4: Broken Mirror

"What," I laugh, staring at the boy "Aren't we like 13?" The boy frowns even more "Do you remember me?" He asks sadly. I frown too, now I feel bad....

I shake my head "No, I fell face first into some concrete and I can't remember anything, not even my name." I tell him. The boy looks away sadly "...I'm sorry..." He whispers "For what?" I ask. "Listen to me," The boy says, completely ignoring my question

"I wish I could explain everything to you, but I'll have to start small. The world ends on Monday, your name is (Y/N) Hargreeves, you are not 13, you are 58 and you have powers."

I stare at the boy "Are you crazy? The powers thing is clearly true, but us being married, being 58, the world ending? That can't be true." I sigh. Truth be told, I don't want it to be true. Yes, this boy is cute, but I like how my life is now "(Y/N), I have to leave and I can't take you with me right now, I'll be back...." The boy tells me, placing his hands gently on my cheeks with a sad look in his eyes. I stare at him with a surprised look "I don't even know your name...." I whisper, blushing a little. "You'll know soon. Enough." The boy sighs before slowly walking away

"W-wait! How do I fix this and who is that?!" I ask, grabbing the boy's arm and point towards the dead guy. The boy's eyes widened when he saw the guy "Luther..." He sighs before looking at me "I know how to fix this but I need to take control of your powers."

"How?"
"Kiss me."
"WHAT?!"

"Dude, I get that you like me but-" "Listen to me," The boy sighs "When we were younger we had our sister make us connected where we could share our powers by kissing. It seemed like a good idea at the time..." I blink a few times before pulling the boy into a kiss

"I heard a rumor......your powers are connected by a kiss."

"Are you sure about this, Five?"
"Of course! I want you to come with me, we'll come back. I promise!"
"If you say so..."

"I'm scared, Five...."
"Don't worry, I'll protect you, no matter what."

I quickly pull away from the boy and look down the ground, the boy stares at me with a blush on his cheeks "Go on and save him, Fi-" I stop myself and Five nods "Sweet dreams." He says softly before spraying something in my face. Last thing I saw was the pained look in his eyes

I stand in the middle of a hallway and nervously mess with my dress "(Y/N), what are you doing out here? Your father is waiting." A lady says with a soft smile "My father? What happened to Five?" I ask, staring at the lady "He is with the others. Now come on." She says.

The lady leads me into an office "Number Eight, where have you been?" A man asks "D-dad?" I ask, tilting my head "Who else would I be? Have a seat." He says, I awkwardly sit down "Am I dead?" I ask "Five may have killed many people, but he'd rather shoot himself than lay a harmful finger on you." Dad says, still writing in his notebook "What?" I ask nervously. Dad stops writing and stands up "Follow me." He says sternly, I quickly stand and follow behind him.

"Look in the mirror." He says, I glance up at the cracked, broken mirror "I don't want to...." I say, backing away "But you need to, the world depends on it." Dad says. "T-that boy....Five! He's got it covered, I-I can go back with-" "With that little girl? Number Eight that is not the life for you." Dad scoff "DON'T CALL ME THAT!" I scream, clenching my fist. Dad smirks at me before shoving me towards the mirror "You forcing yourself not to remember. Number Five needs you." He says. I gasp when I take a quick glance.

~Flashback~

I let out a weak yawn and look around "Oh no, it wasn't a nightmare..." I sigh, sitting up and crawling out a bed Five and I found. "Five?" I call out nervously "Over here..." I hear him call out weakly.

I walk around to see Five curled up into a ball, softly sobbing "What's wrong? Please don't cry...." I say, pulling Five into a hug "Don't touch me!" Five sobs. I back up "Five?" I whisper, Five looks at me with regret in his eyes "I....I'm sorry, (Y/N). You don't deserve that." He sighs, hugging his knees tightly.

I sit down next to him "Five," I sigh gently "We been here together few weeks.....you're the only thing keeping me sane, please don't fall apart on me. I'd be dead if it wasn't for you." "You wouldn't be here at all if it wasn't for me." Five scoffs. I frown "That's what this is about?" I ask, Five sniffles and nods "I told you that we'd come back, but I got you stuck here....you must hate me." Five sighs. I shake my head

"Five, I'd rather be stuck here with you then let you die here alone or be stuck to deal with our family alone."

Five laughs sadly at that statement "Yeah right, you love all of them to death." He says, shoving my shoulder playfully. I crack a smile "I'd rather be here with you any day." I say proudly. Five smiles a little before pulling me into a-

I snap out my trance and jump away from the mirror. I turn to see Dad staring at me "Five...." I whisper quietly "You're choosing not to remember, Number Eight. You're choosing not to remember him. Number Five is always a mess without you, it's always been his greatest weakness." Dad tells me, I look down at the floor. "You must remember Number Eight...."

"Dad?! Dad!"

"Promise me you'll never leave my side, (Y/N)."
"Never! We're team 13!
"Team 13?"
"5+8, duh." 
"Whatever you say, (Y/N)...."
