RUN BOY RUN

In the morning, Delilah finds herself up far too early, so she wastes some time cleaning up her own room. When she left...She really did just pack up and go. She didn't even tell Klaus... No, this was about cleaning, not going down memory lane.

Eventually, she makes her way out of her room, and sees Allison is already dressed, and Luther is also there. Nope, avoiding that.

After a strange breakfast made by Grace, Delilah finds herself practically pinned to a wall by Five by her bedroom.

"What the hell?!"

"I need your help."

"I mean, attacking me is not the way to go little psycho," Five rolls his eyes and lets her go, stepping back. Delilah crosses her arms and leans on the wall, ignoring Five's judgemental look towards her 'Number 8' merchandise pyjamas "What's up?"

"I need you to get dressed and pretend to be my mother,"

"What?" Delilah's eyebrows raise

"I need some intel, and although Klaus agreed, he's not exactly -"

"Sane?"

"Exactly. Anyway, two parental figures are better than one in these situations and I assumed you two were..." he trails off and Delilah tilts her head in questioning.

"Sorry?"

"I just...when we were kids and," Five flashes back to when he found his sibling's bodies, Klaus and Delilah next to each other, holding each other's hands as rubble surrounded them "Never mind,"

"Okay..." Delilah nods before changing the subject "Now, am I going with my own mother or an idealistic mother?"

"Idealistic," Five answers and leaves her, wandering down the hallway. Delilah enters her own room and glances at her suitcase.

"So...I need Allison's clothes,".

RUN BOY RUN

After finding something somewhat appropriate, Delilah finds herself, Klaus and Five in a large office overlooking the city, an obvious dick sitting opposite them.

"Like I said to your son earlier, any information about the prosthetics we build is strictly confidential. Without the client's consent, I simply can't help you,"

"Well, we can't get consent if you don't give us a name," Five is obviously trying not to strangle the man where he sits.

"Well, that's not my problem,"

"You take your job very seriously, don't you?" Delilah asks, tilting her head.

"That I do Ms. Now I'm sorry. Now, there's really nothing more I can do, so..."

"And what about my consent?" Klaus suddenly speaks, and all eyes are on him.

"Excuse me?"

"Who gave you permission to lay your hands on our son?" Klaus gestures between him and Delilah, a whining tone taking over his voice.

"What?" Everyone else's heads snap back to him.

"You heard me."

"I didn't touch your son"

"Oh, really? Well, then how did he get that swollen lip, then?"

"He doesn't have a swollen-" the doctor doesn't have time to finish, as Klaus has stood, and clocked Five right in the jaw, Delilah gasps, yet stays seated, her legs crossed. The doctor is shocked she hasn't done anything.

"I want it. Name, please. Now," Klaus is leaning on the desk and Five seems rather proud.

"You're crazy,"

Klaus laughs "You got no idea," he looks down and picks up a snow globe, reading from it "'Peace on Earth.' That's so sweet," smiling, Klaus smashes the globe over his head and groans loudly "God, that hurt!".

"I'm calling secur-" Delilah has stood up and grabbed the phone from the doctor "What are you doing?"

Delilah raises her pointer finger "Hold please," she then speaks into the phone "There's been an assault in the Doctor's office!" Delilah puts on a weak, distressed voice "He's - he's assaulted my son and husband! We need security. Now!" Delilah drops the phone and gives him a polite smile "Here's what's gonna happen...?"

"Lance,"

"Here's what's gonna happen Lance, in about ohhh, 50 to 60 seconds, two security guards are gonna burst through that door, and they're gonna see a lot of blood,"

"And we're going to so kindly explain" Klaus starts "That you...beat the shit out of us," he sighs "You're gonna do great in prison. Trust me, I've been there. Little piece of chicken like you - Oh, my God, you're gonna get passed around like a..." he trails off "You're just... You're gonna do great. That's all I'm saying,"

"Jesus, you are a real sick bastard,"

"Thank you,".

RUN BOY RUN

After discovering the eye hadn't even been made yet, the trio exit the office.

"Well, this is not good," Five mutters

"I was pretty good, though, right? 'Yeah. What about my consent, bitch?'!" Klaus laughs and Delilah rolls her eyes as she follows Five down the stone steps.

"Klaus, it doesn't matter,"

"What's the big deal with this eye, anyway?"

"There is someone out there who's going to lose an eye in the next seven days. They're gonna bring about the end of life on this Earth as we know it"

"What?!" Delilah steps in front of Five, stopping him from walking away "What do you mean 'end life on this Earth,"

"Yeah, yeah whatever D. Can I get that 20 bucks, like, now, or what?"

"You were getting paid?" Delilah's attention is now on Klaus again.

"Your 20 bucks?" Five is obviously furious as he stalks up to his brother.

"Yeah, my 20 bucks,"

"The apocalypse is coming, and all you can think about is getting high?!"

"The what?!" Delilah is getting ignored by both the Hargreeves.

"Well, I'm also quite hungry. Tummy's a-rumblin'," he imitates grumbling

"You're useless. You're all useless!" Five sighs before sitting down on the steps at the front of the office.

"Oh, come on. You need to lighten up, old man," Klaus watches Delilah sit on the left side of Five "Hey, you know, I've just now realized why you're so uptight. You must be horny as hell! All those years by yourself. It's gotta screw with your head, being alone," he comes to sit on the other side of Five.

"Well... I wasn't alone."

"Oh? Pray tell,"

"Her name was Delores,"

"Ohhhh, Delores," Delilah sings her name

"We were together for over thirty years,"

"Thirty years? Oh, wow!" Klaus laughs "God, the longest I've been with someone other than Liliah was... Ohhh, I don't know, three weeks?"

"Three Weeks?" Delilah laughs "God, I really am your most serious relationship," she teases, but Klaus doesn't meet her eye, looking away.

"Yeah. I only stayed with him because I was so tired of looking for a place to sleep," Delilah goes to look over at Klaus, and just as she does, she sees Five disappear.

"Shit bag,"

"He did make the most fantastic osso buco, though. It was..." Delilah stands up and rushes down the stairs as Klaus notices his brother's absence "Five?"

A taxi drives past, and a window is rolled down, Five waves and as Klaus shouts about his money, Delilah flips off Five.

"What the hell did you say about the apocalypse?!".
