(reverse time. Cause Five ya know reversed time with the briefcase.)

A light started flickering and we all looked up. Five appeared on the counter. I backed up cause he almost fell on top of me. I think Diego got a little to surprised because he almost stabbed Five. "You guys am I still or do you see him too?" "Five, where have you been?" He rolled off the bar and almost fell to the floor but me, Allison, and Luther caught him. "Are you alright?" "Who did this?" We helped him stand up and he took Allison's coffee. "Irrelevant." He started drinking Allison's coffee. After he finished drinking he turned around to look at all of us. "So, the apocalypse is in three days. The only chance we have to save our world is, well, us." "The Umbrella Academy." "Yeah and well y/n." Five pointed at me. Everyone looked at me and I leaned against the wall and looked down because I don't like a lot of people looking at me. They looked back at Five. "So if y'all don't get your slideshow acts together and get over yourselves, we're screwed. Who cares if dad messed us up? Are we going to let that define us? No. And to give us a fighting chance to see next week, I've come back with a lead. I know who's responsible for the apocalypse." Five handed Allison a piece of paper and Diego came up next to me to see what was on the note. "This is who we have to stop." Allison unfolded the paper. Allison read it. "Harold Jenkins?" "Who the hell is Harold Jenkins?" Five drank some more coffee then threw the empty cup across the room. "I don't know...yet. But I do know hes responsible for the apocalypse. So we have to find him. And we have to do it now." "How is he connected to what's gonna happen?" "I don't know." "Wait so you just know his name? That's it?" "That's enough." "There's probably dozens of Harold Jenkins in the city." "Well we just better start looking then."

"I'm sorry am I the only one that's skeptical here?" Allison asked. "I mean how exactly do you know all of this about whats his anme?" Five looked at her. "Harold Jenkins. You know those lunatics who attacked the house?" Klaus scratched the back of his head. "Oh, yeah I think I remember those guys." Diego looked at Klaus then back at Five. "Yeah the ones that attacked us while you were getting drunk." "Yeah. Them." Klaus sat down next to me and leaned against his hand looking up at Five. "They were sent by the Temps Commission to stop me from coming back and preventing the endo of life on earth." I rose my hand. "The Temps what?" "My former employer. They moniter all of time and space to make sure whatever is supposed to happen...happens. They believe the apocalypse is coming in three days. So I went to commission headquarters and intercepted a message that was meant for said lunatics. "Protect Harold Jenkins." So he must be responsible for the apocalypse." Everyone went silent. "What do you mean protect time and space?" "Where is this Hazel, Five?" Diego and Luther walked back to the bar and Allison kept talking. "My skin is on fire." I looked at Klaus. He did not look like normal Klaus. "You know what else is insane?" I looked up at Five. "I look like a 13-year-old boy. Klaus talks to the dead, and Luther think hes fooling everybody with that overcoat. Everything about us is insane. It always has been." Klaus looked at Luther and Diego. "Hes got a point there." "We didn't choose this life we're just living it. For the next three days anyway." "But the last time we tried to stop it we all died. Why is this time any different? Why shouldn't I go home to my daughter?" "Because this time, I'm here. We have the name of the man responsible. Guy's we actually have the chance to save billions of people. Including Claire." "You know her name?" "I do, and id like to live long enough to meet her." "Alright." Well that was a quick agreement. "Let's get this bastard." "You had me at Gerald Jenkins." "Harold Jenkins." "Whatever. I've already lost two people this week, I'm not loosing anyone else." Diego looked at me. what- why did he look at me? "And Luther?" "Yeah you guys go I'm gonna stay and look through dads files. I still think this has something to do with why he sent me on the moon." Diego turned around. "Seriously? Now you want to make the end of the world about you and dad?" "No. 'Watch for threats' that's what he always told me. You think that's a coincidence? This all has to be connected some how." Allison walked up to Luther. "No we should all stick together." Five cut Allison off. "We don't have time for this." "Let's roll. I know where we can find this asshole. Klaus, y/n your with me." pfft- don't have to tell me twice. Klaus sat up. "Yeah I-I'm good. I think I'll uh... I think I'll pass I'm... feeling a little under the weather, so, uh..." He groaned and walked out. I followed Diego and Five who were following Klaus. Allison came with us.
