Gone 2 Long (Number Five)

743

Luther walked with old Five and I walked with young Five. We got to this land bridge thing. I'm not sure what it is exactly but we walked up that.

Five was...on edge. Really on edge.

"What are you looking at? See something funny? Mind your business! Or i'll give you something to stare at. You wish you could pull off these shorts!"

"Ok Five while that is an entirely true statement...let's just try and chill. Don't make me freeze you solid!" I'm trying to be as nice as possible but it's difficult with this paradox psychosis.

Luther walked up to us.

"Hey, brother. How you doing?" Luther asked Five.

"He's gonna kill me, isn't he?" Five asked.

"What? What, him? He's gonna kill you? Yeah, right. That's ridiculous." Luther said obviously lying.

"You know, you're a terrible liar, Luther. You're a worse liar than you are a spotter." Five said.

"Okay, whose fault is that? What good is having a spotter if you won't even listen to him?" Luther asked.

"Do what I do. Give him a good fire or ice ball to the head. Oh wait." I started laughing at my own joke but quickly calmed down.

"So you admit you're conspiring against me?" Five asked.

"Do...Do you admit you're suffering from paradox psychosis?" Luther asked.

"The first step of healing is acceptance." I said. That's sounds like some deep dumb shit Klaus would say. Am I turning into Klaus?

"All I'm suffering from is bracing clarity about you and your murderous intentions. Be more like Scarlett she always remains loyal to me!"

"It's debatable right now." I said.

"Look, it's not like he's gonna 'kill you' kill you."

"Luther that makes no sense." I said.

"He just wants to kill a, um...version of you." Christ on a fucking cracker Luther. I face palmed.

"But I am that version of me." Five said.

"Hey, I don't love it, either, but he's actually got a pretty good plan." Luther said.

"What? The one where you guys off me and then jump to 2019 to save the world?" Five asked.

"Yeah, wait, how did you know that?" Luther asked.

"Because I'm him, and that is exactly what I would do if I were trying to kill me!"

"Okay, all I know is we've got one Five to many, and you're the one acting like a maniac."

"Maniac? Luther you have seen nothing. If you want a maniac, I will show you maniac."

"Let's not and say we did." I said.

"Okay, as your spotter, I think the best thing I can do for you right now is put you out of your misery."

"Luther look at me in my eyes." He did so. I turned them white. I'm so glad I can control this now.

"You so much as touch him and I will keep my promise I made in 2019. Queue flashback." I said.

*flashback that Luther can see*
I grabbed his shirt and pulled him down to my level. "Listen here asshole. If you ever so much as lay a finger on me again it won't be your hand that gets stabbed."
*end of flashback*

"But you said that was if I touched you." Luther said.

"Rules can change Ape Boy." I said making a sharp icicle in my hand. He backed off. I made my eyes normal and melted the icicle.
