Five woke up with Amura sleeping holding his hand.

And Luther looking at some magazines.

"Why didn't you even moved her beside me?" Five asked making Luther turn his attention to the older sibling.

"Do you want to?" Luther asked raising an eyebrow at his brother.

"She needed to, dumbass, she'll complain about her back aching when she wakes up and I tell you, it's not great." Five stated and with that, Luther carried her while Five moved out of the way.

Placing her gently while she peacefully sleep.

Five sat on the bed and observed her, "She probably couldn't sleep at the academy, if she did, she'll be woken up just by being touched or just hearing a sound."

"You know her very well huh?" Luther asked gaining Five's attention.

"For 5 years... But she knew me since I was 16... or even before that." He thought out loud and shrugged making the larger guy confused again.

Both of them took a moment before Luther broke the ice.

"When's it supposed to happen? This... apocalypse." He asked him.

"I can't give you the exact hour, but... from what I could gather, we have four days left." Five said and looked at the time, it was already morning.

"Why didn't the two of you said something sooner?" Luther motioned to the sleeping Amura.

"It wouldn't have mattered. Plus Amura respects my decisions so she never said a word to any of you." Five replied, taking a look at the brunette.

"Of course it would. We could've banded together and helped you try to stop this thing."

"For the record, you already tried."

"What do you mean?"

It took a moment for Five to answer, not expecting it to be hard to say out loud in front of his sibling.

"I found all of you. Your bodies." Five finally answered quietly.

"We die?"

"Horribly... You were together, trying to stop whoever it was that ends the world." There was sadness in the tone of his voice as he said it.

But Luther couldn't even notice it.

"Wait, how do you know that?" The man asked instead.

"This was clutched in your dead hand when I found you." The younger looking one gave the prosthetic eyeball to him, "Must've ripped it out of their head right before you went down."

"Whose head?"

"Like I said, I don't know."

"Well, there's a serial number on the back."

"No, that's a dead end." Five chuckled, "It's just another hunk of glass." Luther gave the eye back to him.

"So you didn't found anything after all." Amura said and sat up.

Gaining the two Hargreeves' attention, "Been awake since the apocalypse conversation."

"Oh..." Five just said and looked away.

Diego suddenly barged in, obviously mad.

"Piece of shit. Do you have any idea what you just did?" Diego approached Five, ready to beat him up but the man was only blocked by Luther.

"Nope, let me... Get your ape hands off of me!" Diego told the larger man who lifted him easily.

"I can do this as long as it takes you to calm down." Luther said while Amura calmly observed the two, even though she badly wanted to laugh at how small Diego look liked being carried by Luther.
