The Boy and The Psycho

The Day That Was

17 years ago

My siblings and I step out of the car after our father as we make our way home from a mission. 

Many people are cheering and gathering around our house behind barricades. 

I am last in line walking behind Allison and someone grabs my wrist. I quickly turn around and see a little boy through my domino mask. 

"What?" I ask.

"Excuse me. I'm your biggest fan." He says.

Luther cuts him off by grabbing his arm. "Hey, hey. You're not supposed to be in here."

"Get back behind the barricade!" Father yells at him as he points to the barricade.

Luther comes behind me and puts his hand in the small of my back as we continue walking back into the house together. 

"Are you alright, Fi?" He asks as he closes the front door.

"Yeah. Thanks, Luther." I assure him and give him a quick kiss on the cheek.

My siblings and I make our way back outside to pose for the cameras and people. The crowd begins cheering loudly again as I lean my elbow onto Klaus's shoulder.

"We don't know... yet." I answer Diego.

"But we do know that he's responsible for the apocalypse. So we have to find him. And we have to do it now." I continue as my siblings look down at me. 

"How is he connected to what's gonna happen?" Luther asks.

"We don't know." Five answers.

"Wait, so you guys just know his name? That's it?" Diego asks as he moves my arms onto Klaus and walks forward towards Five.

"That's enough." Five tells him.

"There's probably dozens of Harold Jenkinses in the city." Diego explains.

"Well, we just better start looking, then." I look over at Diego and smile.

"I'm sorry. Am I the only one that's skeptical here? I mean, how exactly do you know all of this about what's his name?" Allison blurts.

"Harold Jenkins. You know those lunatics in masks who attacked the house?" Five asks.

"Oh, yeah, I think I remember those guys." Klaus says making me smirk at the floor.

"Yeah, the ones that attacked us while you two were getting drunk." Diego points out.

"Yeah, them. They were sent by the Temps Commission to stop me from coming back and preventing the end of life on Earth." Five explains.

"The Temps what?" Allison asks.

"My, and now Fiona's, former employer. They monitor all of time and space to make sure that whatever is supposed to happen... happens. They believe the apocalypse is coming in three days. So Fiona and I went to Commission headquarters and intercepted a message that was meant for said lunatics." Five explains.

"Protect Harold Jenkins." I remind them. 

"So he must be responsible for the apocalypse." He finishes.

All of our siblings stand in silence as they all process the new information. 

"What do you mean, protect time and space?"
