Questions | Five Hargreeves • The Umbrella Academy •

Ch. 17

"Well, we can't go back to the house." Luther stated, carrying Five with Delores in his arms.

"It's not secure. Those psychopaths could come back at any moment." He added.

"Yeah, no shit... Those two are crazy." Amura said walking in between Luther and Diego.

Diego gave her a judging look before saying, "My place is closer. No one will look for the both of you there."

Five suddenly burped, "If you vomit on me..." Luther threatened.

"You know what's funny?" The boy asked, his head leaning backwards to look at the brunette.

"Aah! I'm going through puberty. Huh. Twice." He answered himself while smiling.

"Were you referring to what you just did to Amura at the—Ouch!" The girl punched Diego on his arm with a blush on her face before he could continue what he was going to say.

"He didn't do anything!" She defended.

"Yeah right." The man smirked at her making her cheeks redder than it could possibly do.

"And I... I drank that whole bottle,
didn't I?" Five asked once again with a drunken smile, looking at Luther this time.

"That's what you do when the world you love goes bye-bye. Poof, it's gone." He added with hand gestures.

Making Amura compose herself and look at him shocked, "What happened?"

"Just this... And that..." Five laughed pissing the girl off.

"What are you guys talkin' about?" He asked, out of focus because of drunkness.

And so, the brunette just sighed in disbelief.

"Two masked intruders attacked the Academy last night." The larger Hargreeves answered him even though the guy couldn't even hold a proper conversation.

"They came looking for the two of you." Diego said while Amura looked away, keeping quiet.

"So I need you to focus. What do they want?"

The girl was about to answer but the boy beat her to it, "Hazel and Cha-Cha."

"Who?" Diego asked, as Five's words were slurred.

"You know, I hate code names." Luther told the smaller male.

"They are-"

"Ah, the best of the best. Except for me and Amura here, of course." Five cut her off while pointing his finger at her, still smiling.

"The best of what?" Luther asked him.

"You know, Delores always said she hated when I drink." Five stated instead of answering him.

"Well she's not the only one." The brunette muttered.

"You should've made me a Shirley..." the boy told Amura while laughing, pissing Diego off this time.

"Hey!" He shouted at him, turning around as Luther and Amura stopped walking.

"Hm? Yeah?"

"I need you to focus. What do this Hazel and Cha-Cha want?" The boy's brother asked slowly for him to comprehend what he was saying.

But green eyed kid only smiled at him, on the verge of laughing.

"We just wanna protect you." Diego said making the girl purse her lips that made the man look at her, "And you."

"Protect us?" Five asked finally laughing.

"We don't need your protection, Diego. Do you have any idea how many people we've killed?"
