3rd POV

Five rolled the prosthetic eye in his hand and pursed his lips with a dissatisfied expression. They had been sitting in the van for a good quarter of the day now, and seemed to be making absolutely zero progress. He looked over to his partner in crime, who had dozed off a while ago. Five sighed and drew his attention to three boys playing soccer together. The sight of them gave Five a weird melancholy feeling in his stomach, reminding him of what was to come if he didn't succeed. The all too familiar scent of ash and smoke engulfed Five as he squeezed his eye's shut, trying to erase the terrible sight of his siblings bodies laying in the broken down piles of rubble from his mind. His hallucinations were growing more troubling as each second passed by. Five jumped out of the van and looked around at the chaos and destruction before him.

"No!" His voice echoed and he was starting to break down again. This wasn't real. This wasn't going to happen. He and (Y/n) were gonna stop it. That's right, (Y/n). Five had (Y/n).

"Five." A voice called out. "Five!"

He whipped his head around as the voice grew more and more persistent.

"Five! Hey, Five!"

"NOOOO!"

Five blinked and his conscious returned to reality. He quickly looked over to see Luther knocking on the window on (Y/n)'s side. The (s/c) girl groaned and stretched her arms.

"Heya Luther." (Y/n) said sleepily before climbing over into the back.

"What are you..." Five trailed off.

Luther took this opportunity and struggled to get into (Y/n)'s seat. "Oh, my God..." He grunted before finally managing to squeeze in. Luther panted and caught his breath, then turned to Five. "You okay?"

"You shouldn't be... How did you find us!?"

"Uhm.." Luther motioned with his head to the back. He and Five both looked back to see Klaus holding Delores while (Y/n) sat on the floor, still half asleep.

"Hey, a little privacy, guys. We're really hitting it off back here!" Klaus ducked behind Delores and screamed as Five threw a water bottle at his head.

"GET OUT! You can't be here!" Five yelled angrily, "We're in the middle of something."

Klaus set down Delores next to (Y/n) and crawled to the front. "Any luck finding your one-eyed man?"

"No."

"What's he talkin' about?" Luther asked.

"Does it matter? It's Klaus." Five sighed, "What do you want, Luther?"

"Um... so, Grace may have had something to do with Dad's death. So I need you two to come back to the academy, all right? It's important."

"'It's important.' You have no concept of what's important." Five spat.

"Hey! Did I ever tell you guys about the time I waxed my ass with chocolate pudding?" Klaus laughed, "It was so painful."

(Y/n) got up front her spot on the floor and leaned over Klaus' shoulder. "Not really the time for that, Klaus..."

"What are you still doing here?" Luther said, turning to him.
