A/N~ I feel like a genuine writer. I'm sitting on a recliner, sipping on my kombucha, and rewatching S2 of The Umbrella Academy. Also, isn't S2 Five so cute?????

-"Hold on! This could get messy!"-

~Nov. 25, 1963~

-"'Soviets attack US'?"-

-"No, this can't be right."-

-"What the hell did we do now?"-

-"Hazel. What the hell's going on here?"-

-"What about my family?"-

~10 days earlier~

-"Okay...what the hell was that?"-

-"'63...[chuckles softly] You know, Hazel, I'm no history buff, but I don't recall there being a nuclear holocaust."-

-"What about my family?"-

-"And where am I now?"-

-"[Five whispers] Okay."-

-"So where do we start?"-

-"Is she...?"-

-"Yeah."-

-"I'm sorry, Hazel."-

-"What about the Commission?"-

-"Well then, who the hell are those guys?"-

-"How many times did I say 'bulletproof briefcases'?"-

-"Hi, I'm selling encyclopedias for my youth group. I was curious if--"-

-"Don't really have time to explain."-

-"Definitely not."-

-"Is that fresh?"-

-"Hmm. This Colombian?"-

-"You ever heard of, uh, Area 51? Roswell?"-

-"Well, the truth is out there."-

-"Any closer, and I'll melt your brain."-

-"All those contraptions on the roof, you built those, right?"-

-"Waiting for what?"-

-"Did you get a good look at any of them?"-

-"'Sensitive'?"-

-"Luther."-

-"So, my family is alive. Shit. I think I stranded them here. Now listen to me..."-

-"Whatever, all right? I got ten days to find them and save the world. Now, I need your help to do that."-

-"Diego."-

-"You have no idea."-

***

-"Hey, Diego."-

-"You look good in white."-

-"How'd you know I'd be back?"-

-"Where are the others?"-

-"We'll find them. [mutters softly]"-

-"How long have you been here?"-

-"Commerce and Knox."-

-"I got here this morning."-

-"Page 16. 'Disturbed man with multiple knives arrested outside 1026 N. Beckley.' That's Lee Harvey Oswald's house. Care to explain?"-

-"Because it hasn't happened yet."-

-"Listen to me very closely, you gibbering moron. You are not going to do a goddamn thing."-

-"Because we have to stop the apocalypse."-

-"Not that apocalypse. This is a new one. It followed us. I've seen it. Nucelar war, Diego, in ten days."-

-"I don't know. Maybe some looney-tuned asshole with a hero complex tried to save the president and screwed everything up."-

-"Thank God."-

-"This is why you don't have any friends."-

-"You know what? Guard. [sighs] My brother is plotting an escape. The bars of his room have been shaved down."-

-"Look, this is for your own good, Diego. Listen, my brother is a very sick man. I only pray that he gets the help he so desperately needs."-

-"[whispers] Be back for you later, okay? Just...Well, nighty night."-

***

-"Nice to see you too, Luther."-

-"For you to stop hovering like an ambitious stripper and sit down with me."-

-"How long have you been here?"-

-"I'm sorry, Luther. I know that couldn't have been easy."-

-"Luther, wait."-

-"Look, I get it, okay? I know what it's like to be stuck in time...thinking this is how you're gonna live out the rest of your life. On the run, and not knowing if you're ever gonna see the people you love again, and to be in an unfamiliar world. But Luther, you're not alone. We have to find the others because the world ends again in ten days. I have no idea how to stop it."-
