I dragged Five back to Luther and Klaus cause we needed to figure this out and not run from our problems. He went with it cause he didn't want to meet my white eyes again.

"Now what?" Luther asked. Five started pacing.

"Now nothing, Luther, all right? Make your peace with God." He yelled.

"What? What about Allison and Vanya?"

"Screw them both. They should have been here." Five said.

"What about Diego? He's quite a responsible young man, no?" Klaus asked. He had a point. Diego would have been here.

"Something must've happened to them." Luther said.

"Screw Diego, all right? Screw everybody! I was better off on my own in the apocalypse." Five yelled.

Oh boy just made a death wish. I lit a fire ball in my hand and through it at him. He jumped in front of me and grabbed my wrist.

I turned my eyes white and looked at him. I shoved his hand off my wrist and tried to walk off. He jumped in front of me and looked at me with pleading eyes. I gave in and walked back into the alley.

"Five! Come on." Luther said.

"You know what, Luther? It's every sibling for himself now. How 'bout that?" Five said.

I shrugged and tried to walk away and do as Five said but he grabbed me and dragged me with him into Monty's. I huffed and went with it.

We walked up the stairs. Then the door opened again and Luther caught up to us.

"Hey! Five, doomsday is still coming. We gotta think of a new plan." Luther said.

"Don't you get it, Luther? It's over, all right? We're already dead." Five said.

"Then where are you going?" Luther said.

"I'm going to do the unthinkable." Oh jesus this is gonna be fun.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Luther asked. I would like to know too.

"I was really hoping it wouldn't come to this." Five sighed.

"Come to what, Five? Five. Five! Come to what? Five!" Luther said knocking on the door.

Five left me outside the bathroom and locked himself in. I slid down and sat on the floor. Luther looked at me in disbelief and I just shrugged.

Luther eventually went to the couch and fell asleep. I stayed at my spot on the floor. Soon Five came out. He saw me and helped me up. He grabbed my face and kissed my forehead as an apology for earlier.

He then lead me to the kitchen. He opened the fridge which woke Luther up.

"Five." Luther groaned. Five was to busy gulping down water to answer. I was sitting at the kitchen table watching.

"Five? Five what...You okay?" Luther asked walking in. Five looked at him and he stopped drinking and gasped for air.

"I'm gonna need to be hydrated." Five said.

"Hydrated? What's with the baby powder?" Luther asked as Five put baby powder on his armpits.

"It'll help with the itching." He said simply.

"What itching? There's itching? What the hell is going on here?" He stated putting the baby powder down his pants. Gross. (Boys have cooties)

"You do have a plan." Luther said.

"Well, it's a desperation move, but...since our brain-dead siblings are incapable of meeting a simple deadline, I got no choice." Five said walking into the living room. Me and Luther followed. I stood next to him in the doorway.
