Y/N FLASHBACK: (blood and gore warning)

Paris, some months later:

"Where is he, I am not going to ask more than that. You already know what we are capable of." I laughed sarcastically at his comment. My back was numb from the pain. I could feel the blood rush out of my two previous deep knife cuts.

"You are s-so naïve to believe that you could find Five just like that. He is a frickin' time traveler, IDIOTS!" I yelled the last part, enervated after having told them I didn't even know where he was.

My outburst proved to be a huge mistake, I felt the knife dig deep in my skin, provoking another cut next to the others.

I groaned in pain and fell to the side. The pain was unbearable, unbearable. I tried to focus to a spot right in front of me, but my eyes were seeming to shut.

A tear fell down to the cement and I blinked away even more.

It's all for you, Five...

It's all for you...

Y/N POV: (end of flashback)

I woke up to someone softly rubbing my shoulder. I woke up to see Five right above me. I smiled a bit at him, and sat up. "Good morning, Five."

"Morning, love." He said and rubbed my cheek with the back of his hand. I pecked his lips and stood up from the bed , stretching a bit. He was sitting on the side of the bed, arms crossed in front of his chest.

I felt myself blush at the sight, but shook my head to get back to reality.

"Shall we get breakfast?" He said as I wore one of his blazers. I nodded sweetly at him and he offered his hand to me.

I took it and we were in front of the kitchen in less than a second. Klaus was inside, eating pancakes that Mary, well... Grace, had made. I waved at both of them and Klaus gestured at the seats next to him. We both took our seats, as Grace brought two plates of pancakes in front of us.

I mumbled her a thank you and took my fork, digging into the treat.

Yes, I still hadn't then courage to look at Mary. I hadn't the courage to face the truth, that my best friend had died...

"Today is old man's reception, will you be coming?" Klaus asked Five. He seemed to think about it for a while, looking at me. "Well, now that Y/N's is here, I will." he said with a soft smile that made my heart melt.

"So, Y/N, wwha-what happened while you were away, this year?" Klaus asked, putting his feet on the table and resting back on his chair.

I gulped and sighed, ready to tell the same lie I had told last night at the rooftop to Five.

"I was dropped in London, at the same year as you, practically. A really wealthy man found me, Robert Darwin. He adopted me, knowing that I had this kind of powers, and he let me come here, he is a really good friend of your father, you know. And that's how I ended up here." I said, but I felt a huge weight on my chest saying this .

I always were a good liar, and it's not time to quit right now.

I finished my pancakes quietly waiting for Klaus' response.

"Splendid!"

Time skip at the reception:

We walked up the staircase in front of the Reginald Mansion, Five's arm around my waist. We entered the house, a butler taking our coats away.

My eyes were darting everywhere to see if I could spot my dear "father". The whole Umbrella Academy blended into the huge crowd into the hall, and I had the chance to steal two glasses of sampagne by a waiter that moved around.

"We must find our father." Five whispered to his siblings and they all nodded. "Y/N you will come with us." He said, a pleading look on his eyes. I shook my head and smiled softly." It's a family matter, I can't be there." I said and pushed his offered hand away.

I could se the suspicion in his eyes , but gladly Luther intervened. "No offence Y/N, but it is indeed only family." He said and I nodded at Five.

"I'll be right here." I whispered and watched them leave. I could tell he was awfully suspicious, and that was the last thing I wanted to happen.

Just as soon as the siblings left, I heard the voice that sent chills down my spine."

"Miss me, my blood dear?"

I turned to face Robert, my eyes shooting fire at him. "The question is if you missed me, father." I said with a smirk as I felt hate rush through my veins.

"Does he trust you?" He asked and I gulped, but maintained my composure. "None of your business, I might say." I told him and turned to leave, but his strong grasp on my arm made me go back to him

He was looking at me as if he was ready to kill me. " If you mess this up because of your emotions, Y/N, know that things will be far worse than Paris, this time." He said and I felt goosebumps down the cuts on my back.

I smirked at him hatefully and released my arm off his grasp.

" Deadly as they seem, emotions have nothing to do with Y/N Darwin."

I said and walked away with a smirk on my lips and adrenaline rushing through my veins.

I am still a good liar.

Meanwhile, Five POV:

"Excuse me, dear boy, could you help me a little with this?"

The voice sent chills down my spine.

I thought she was dead.

I decided to act normally, going to the lady's side and taking her hand. Her face was hidden by her hat, as she looked down, fixing her shoes.

I nodded at my siblings to go, and they all left, reluctantly I would say. Once they were some meters away, the lady lifted her head up and looked down at me with a smirk.

The Handler.

"To your information, I killed Hazel before he did, it was quite stupid of you. None the less, I would say you and Y/N did a good job ,going back at 1960." She said with a smirk.

I looked up at her hatefully, as we walked to an empty space with no people. She turned to face me, taking a smoke from her ciggarette.

"What do you want?" I asked irritated, crossing my arms in front of my chest.

She smirked at me and laughed a bit. "Come back to us, Five. You belong to this world of killers, you were one of the best." She said as I scoffed. "One of the best. Who was better than me, can you tell?" To my surprise, she snickered viciously and I frowned at her.

"Oh dear boy... you don't know, do you? Well, I won't say anything, it's not my business, you know." She said raising her hands and looking down at me as if I was a 5 year old.

My frown became darker at her words. She only released some smoke and took something out of her pocket. It was a card with a name on it, I noticed as I took it at my hands.

"Call him if you're interested, Five." She said and left, going back to the main hall.

I looked down at the card, my eyes widening in surprise, in fear, in agony.

"Robert Darwin, Head of Security, The Commission."
