CHAPTER FOUR:
LITTLE NUMBER FIVE
"Listen up, old man." Klaus Hargreeves stared at the urn that held his father's ashes. Alex was sitting on a chair behind Klaus, Ben had wandered off and wasn't around, probably had enough of Klaus' shit.
"You know, if I was murdered, and if one of my sons-adopted sons-happened to be able to commune with the dead, I might think about," Klaus laughed and clapped his hands. "I don't know, I don't know manifesting! Do the whole big angry ghost lecture."
Behind him Alex rolled his eyes at his lovers antics and leaned back in his chair. If only he could get his hands on some pop corn.
"Tell everyone who done it, and find eternal peace."
"Or he had a normal heart attack and died because he was, oh I don't know, old!" Alex said sarcastically. He was fed up with everyone thinking it was a murder. Idiots, it's could have been suicide for all they know.
Klaus turned to his lover and grinned. He loves when Alex turns sarcastic, which is most of the time. He turned back to his dead fathers ashes.
"Eternal peace is probably overrated. Come on now, Reggie." Alex gave a snort.
"Any time now." Klaus paused and then added, "Please."
" you and I both know that's not going to work. You need to sober up. Clear your thoughts." Alex suggested.
Klaus turned to Alex and pouted. "That's not fair! I see you and Ben with no problem, well Ben sometimes goes away but I never had a problem with seeing you!" Klaus whined. He did not want to get sober. Even the thought of being sober made him shudder.
"Just take a deep breath," klaus exhaled. "Now try it again"
Klaus did what he was told to do, just less calmly.
"Come on! Come on, chop-chop! You were always a stubborn bastard." Klaus started panting.
"I don't know about you but I need a drink."
"Make that two." Alex shouted.
"You can't drink, you're dead you idiot." Klaus shouted back and turned to look at the only ghost present- to his knowledge- in the room. Resulting in him knocking his hand onto the urn and making it spill.
"And there goes daddy dearest, yay!"
Suddenly music started playing in the whole house.
And klaus started dancing.
With the urn.
That contained their dads ashes.
Alex sighed. "Where's my fucking drink?"
klaus turned to Alex and beckoned him to join him in his little show.
Alex shock his head. And when klaus was about to touch him-forgetting that he was dead and therefore not able to touch- a loud thunder interrupted their dance. Glasses began to shatter and lockets began to clatter.
Klaus looked at the urn in his hands in disbelief. "Oh! Daddy?" He gasps. Alex looked around and then turned to klaus.
"Come on! Let's go." He said and tugged at klaus' shirt-or whatever it was.
They started running towards where the sound was coming from, aka outside.
Klaus took a fire extinguishers with him as he was running.
"How's that going to help?!" Alex shouted while running.
"It might come in handy." Was the response he got.
They ran outside and saw a big blue thingy.
"Out of the way!" Klaus shouted making his sibling part allowing him to get close to the thingy. He tried to use the fire extinguisher but when he saw that It did nothing, he decided to throw it in the thingy. All while Alex looked at him with a disappointed but loving glance.
"He's my idiot."
"What's is that gonna do?" Allison shouted as klaus came and stood next to the others. Alex standing slightly behind them.
"I don't know. Do you have a better idea?" Klaus defended himself.
"No but it wouldn't be throwing the dam thing in the thingy!"
Suddenly electricity crackled. Causing Luther to push everyone behind him and Diego.
"I vote for running. Come on! Alex lets go!" Klaus shouted but he got ignored as everyone was watching the thingy. A figure appeared in the thingy.
Electricity crackled again and caused some screams. A figure came out of the thingy and the thingy closed.
The figure raised his head. Causing the group to pause.
"Does anyone else see little number five, or is that just me?" Klaus asked and Alex closed his mouth.
Little number five-as he was referred to- looked down at himself and then at the group. "Shit."
☁︎
"What's the date? The exact date." Five asked as he walked around the kitchen in his oversized suit, making himself his famous marshmallow sandwich.
Klaus was sitting on the table, still in his skirt. Allison was standing next to him with vanya. On the other side of the table Diego was sitting with Luther standing next to him. Alex was sitting behind klaus and looking over his shoulder. Klaus shuddered at the closeness.
"The 24th." Vanya Gave him the date. Kinda.
"Of what?" Five asked again.
"March."
Five nodded his head. "Good."
"So, are we gonna talk about what just happened? It's been 17 years."
five scoffed. "It's been a lot longer than that."
"Ohhh, plot twist." Alex owed and klaus shushed him quietly.
Five portal jumped behind Diego-making him jump- to get his marshmallows and then portal jumping again back to his unfinished sandwich.
"I haven't missed that." Diego said while watching five.
"Where'd you go?" Allison questioned.
"The future." Five answered simply. "It's shit, by the way."
"Elaborate."
"Called it!"
Where two different responses he got but only heard one. Alex huffed at being ignored. Well it's not my dam fault you died Alex!
"I should've listened to the old man.
You know, jumping through space is one thing, jumping through time is a toss of the dice." Five said and then paused to look at Klaus. "Nice dress."
"Oh, well, danke!" Klaus said almost shyly.
"Wait, how did you get back?" Luther asked the important question. Or well, to him.
"In the end, I had to project my consciousness forward into a suspended quantum state version of myself that exists across every possible instance of time." Five scienced.
"That makes no sense." Diego said with a look of absolute confuse.
"Well, it would if you were smarter." Was Five's snarky reply.
Diego stood up to attack him but Luther held him back. But didn't sit down.
"How long were you there?" Vanya asked.
"Forty-five years.Gi ve or take."
"Say what now!" Alex shouted making Klaus whine at the sudden noise right next to his ear.
"So what are you saying? That you're 58?" Luther asked.
"No, my consciousness is 58.
Apparently, my body is now 13 again." Five tried to explain the complicated things in a simple way.
"So that's a yes?" Alex asked in confusion. Klaus shrugged.
"Wait, how does that even work?" Allison questioned.
"Delores kept saying the equations were off. Eh, Bet she's laughing now." Five said and continued to make his sandwich.
"His girlfriend?" Alex whispered to Klaus and they both shared a grin.
"Guess I missed the funeral, wait where's Alex?" Five said and looked around
Everyone's faves saddened and everyone gave Klaus a quick look, but to their surprise, he didn't seem really sad about it.
It really shocked the team when they heard that their brother, their teammate and best friend had died, not only months after they lost their other sibling. Not over the death of a sibling, another one was taken from them again.
Each of them had a special bond with Alex. Each of them special in their own way.
Luther saw Alex as someone that he could let his walls down with. He always had to keep up the role of a leader. When he was with Alex, he knew that he didn't need to be a leader. He didn't need to anything but a brother. Alex was someone that luther trusted.
Diego knew that Alex wouldn't judge him. For his stutter or for his fear of needles. How he was with Alex, was like how he was with Grace, their mother. Alex would help Diego with his stutter and would assure Diego that it was nothing to be ashamed of. He was someone that Diego relied on.
Allison never had much friends while growing up, none of them had but the boys had each other and vanya was always with her violin or simply couldn't be found. So growing up with no girl fiends was kinda hard. No gossiping for the rumor. That was until Alex came to her. So he was someone she talked to about everything.
And klaus. I think we all know how his relationship with Alex was. They were madly in love. When they figured their feelings for each other out, it scared them. They were in love with their brother! But after talking to their mother-separately- and taking some time, they finally decided that they're not siblings but lovers. Sneaking behind Reginald was hard but it was a risk they were willing to take. It was like a blessing for klaus when he saw Alex after his death as a ghost. Not many had the advantage of seeing they're dead loved ones. They were madly in love and still are.
Five was always egotistical. But he found a big brother in Alex that made him different with him. Alex never took offense to his rude comments and simply brushed them off and gave his famous Goofy smile. Alex was someone that five went to when he had his doubts. Even if Alex didn't understand what he was talking about he still listened and that was all Five needed.
Alex's and Ben's relationship was similar to his and Five's. The only difference was that he wasn't rude, he was shy. It took him awhile to get used to talking to Alex. No Mather how long they knew each other. After their deaths, they started to look after klaus and bonded over that as well. They still would sit in silence. Alex laying on a couch with his eyes closed while Ben would read a book. Both enjoying the others company.
And Vanya. Vanya know Alex as her only real sibling. The other would exclude her for they're games. But not Alex. He would leave the others and find her. Sometimes he would sit in silence and listen to her play the violin. Suggesting some pieces to play from time to time. Alex would talk to her and let her talk to him. He was all she wanted. A sibling that acknowledged her
Five noticed the glances and frowned. "What is it? What happened?"
Allison looked at him in sorrow and concern. "Five, Alex he umm...he's dead."
Five dropped the knife that he had in his hand.
"He what?!"
