Five x Reader ~ The Umbrella Academy (Season 2)

Chapter 4

My eyes slowly started to flicker open. My head was pounding and the room was spinning. I was sitting in a chair with my hands tied behind my back and my legs were tied to the bottom of the chair. I tried to get myself loose but the ropes were too tight. I remembered everything from last night. The two men and Five. I thought for sure that the man that hit me also hit Five or even worse... killed him. It was so quiet and dark in the room. I couldn't think straight and it didn't help that the whole room was spinning. It made me feel nauseous so I shut my eyes tightly so my head would stop throbbing. I leaned my head back down on the chair and tried to stay as still as I possibly could.

After a couple of seconds with my eyes closed I finally dared to open them again so I could try and see what my surroundings were. I widened them and things started to get less blurry and everything stopped spinning. But then a bright light shined in my face. It didn't make my head feel very good so I shut my eyes again and groaned out in pain.

"Sorry about the light," a voice said. "I'll turn on a dimmer one." The bright light shut off and a much dimmer light turned on.

I slowly started to open my eyes up to see a blurry figure in front of me. The light reflected off of his white skin. The figure was very slim and short, it made me think of the man last night that hit me in the head. The figure started to get closer so I tried to escape from the ropes I was tied down with.

Once the figure was close enough I was able to identify who it was.

Five. 

I sighed in relief and stopped pulling on the ropes.

"You most likely have a concussion," Five said. "Guess that means no TV for the next couple of months." I could see another man in the corner of the room but I had no idea who it was. "It's nice to see you finally awake," Five said.

"Well if I'm being honest, I wish I was still sleeping," I responded.

He smirked a little. "Well if you don't tell me how you know my name then you're going to wish that you were asleep, even more." He tried to intimidate to me.

I wasn't scared of him. I was more scared of how I was going to pull this off. My dad and his coworkers and I made a plan but I was afraid it wouldn't work.

"I came here from Commission," I said. It was the truth. "They thought that you brought me there and I didn't even know who you were until then." That time I lied.

"Why did they think that I made a little girl go there?" Five asked.

I was a little triggered by him calling me "little girl."

"Well I don't know old man." I smirked, hinting that I knew about his secret.

He was taken aback a little.

"I'm guessing they told you about me," he said.

"Pretty much," I responded.

I didn't like having to lie like this but I knew that if he knew that I was here trying to help and protect him and his family, he wouldn't be pleased.

"How did you get there?"

"Well I found a suitcase and it brought me there, they wouldn't believe that I just found a suitcase so they tortured me until I said something but there was nothing to say," I once again lied. He still seemed confused so I continued. "Then one day, I escaped."

"That doesn't make sense, how could you have escaped? I mean I know you are a good fighter but not that good," Five questioned.

"You should never show all your tricks in the first battle," I simply said.
