Genova Perez was never your average girl. She was born on the twelfth hour of October 1, 1989. This was unusual because her mother hadn't been pregnant when the day started. Along with the unusual circumst...

Later that night Klaus and Nova sat at the kitchen table as they watched in amusement as Five blinked all throughout the house searching for coffee in annoyance. The rest of the family scattered after the so-called ceremony. Luther and Diego were pouting in their rooms, Vanya had hopped into the first cab out of there and Alison was probably consoling Luther.
"Where's Vanya?" Alison asked as she set her coat down on the bench.
"Oh, she's gone," Klaus said while making a clicking noise with his mouth and jabbing his thumb at the door.
"Yeah, she hopped in the first cab out of here. Said something about not being wanted and toxic masculinity," Nova said with a nod.
"That's unfortunate. An entire square block, forty-two bedrooms, nineteen bathrooms, but no, not a single drop of coffee," Five said in annoyance and Nova chuckled at him. In return, he glared playfully at her.
"Dad hated caffeine," Alison pointed out.
"He hated children too but he had plenty of us," Klaus says sarcastically.
"That's a fair point because he had seven of you, who he hated, and he still tried to adopt me, Numero Ocho," Nova says and Klaus nods vigorously.
"I'm taking the car," Five said in an annoyed voice.
"Where are you, you guys going?" Klaus asked as Nova jumped up to join Five at the door.
"To get a decent cup of coffee," Five snapped.
"Don't mind him, he's a little cranky pants when he's going through caffeine withdrawal," Nova joked mostly to Klaus and Five glared at her.
"Do you guys even know how to drive?" Allison asked while crossing her arms.
"I know how to do everything," Five said aggressively and Nova steered him back towards the door since he backtracked toward his sister.
"Except how to be polite obviously," Nova said as she tried to push him toward the door. Five surprises her by grabbing her hand and blinking them into the car. "A little warning next time would be nice."
"I forgot how annoying they all were," Five grumbled as he started the car.
"I know they're annoying but you're not helping. You're putting up your walls and being mean to them. You just got them back, don't push them away," Nova said gently.
Even when they were kids Five acted like this. He never let anyone in his walls. Well except for Nova. She was the rare exception. She always had been and always will be.
"None of that will matter if the world ends," Five said quietly as they drove.
"We'll take it one problem at a time like we always do. We're in this together, right Five?" Nova asked anxiously and he glanced at her momentarily. He could see the vulnerability in her eyes and it softened him a little bit.
