A/N: Is the doctor guy from Meritech's name really Mr. Bigs, or was that Klaus just being Klaus. Either way, his name is now Mr. Bigs because I don't feel like changing it.
...
By the time they got back to the academy Five was already waiting for them.
"Where have you idiots been?" He didn't think they'd take it well, but to just leave? This was important dammit.
"Oh Five, I'm so happy to hear you're so concerned for your poor siblings, I'm fine by the way," Klaus said flopping onto one of the couches.
"Oh my, what happened to you?" Pogo asks, walking into the room, concern practically written in neon on his face.
They finally took the time to look at each other, noticing how bruised they all were a few scratches here and there, but Luther was by far the worst out of the five of them.
"We were attacked, Pogo," Luther answered, his face turned grim, "Somebody knew we were coming."
"But … how could that be, that's practically impossible," Pogo seemed almost fearful.
"It is possible," Luther stated.
Allison seemed almost scared to speak up, "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Just spit it out Number One," Diego turned on him, fury in his eyes.
"What?" Klaus and Ben seemed almost equally confused.
"He thinks one of us is a mole," Diego stated flatly.
Luther looked down almost shamefully.
"Is that true Luther?" Ben looked at Number One, incredulous.
"Look all I know is that if you followed my orders, none of this would have happened!" Luther tried to defend himself. It clearly wasn't helping the situation.
"I can't believe this," exasperated Diego storms out of the room.
"Diego are you alright sweetie? You're bleeding!"
Startled Diego turned to the voice, "No Mom, I'm okay, don't worry."
"No, come with me, I'll patch you right up and then you can help me make dinner." Her smile was always so bright and warm, Diego couldn't say no.
"Okay Mom," Diego smiled trailing after their mother.
...
Five wasn't ever patient, even in his old age. Hell, his power was practically designed for impatience, he could literally jump almost anywhere he wanted, and he definitely didn't have time for this. Luther was the only one left in the room after whatever just happened, so he would be the quickest to enlist.
"Luther," Five called, "I need your help with something."
Luther stared at him for a few seconds.
"It involves the apocalypse."
They found themselves outside the Meritech building. They quickly found themselves in Mr. Bigs office, just like last time he was being unhelpful as usual. It got quite annoying quickly. Luther decided he had enough of this and grabbed the man by the collar and slammed him against the glass wall creating a spiderweb of cracks. Five almost thought he saw joy in Luther's eye.
"You're gonna tell us what we want to know or you are going to end up as a part of the sidewalk."
Wow, I didn't think he had it in him. Five admired with a smug smirk on his face. Now that they got the man to be cooperative they were in the exact same place they were when they started.
...
When they made it back to the academy they were immediately called over by Allison. The TV was showing the news and the current story showed the target from last night, an anonymous source gave the police all the evidence they needed to put the scumbag away. The news anchors were debating whether this was the work of the Umbrella Academy or not.
"You don't think," Ben started.
"It could have been," Allison was having a hard time wrapping her head around this.
"But then why'd he fight us?" Diego asked.
"You really didn't give 'em much of a choice Diego," Allison chastised.
"So," Klaus appeared almost out of nowhere, wearing another one of Allison's skirts along with a feather jacket, "What were you two doing?"
Five glared at him, "Trying to stop the apocalypse, something that you guys have clearly already forgotten about!"
"We haven't forgotten Five, but you are kinda the only person who knows what he's doing with this whole apocalypse thing," Ben said, lounging in one of the large armchairs.
"You know what fine," Five looked around, "Get the family together, we're going to stop the apocalypse."
...
They ended up looking for that doctor guy again, Five just had to know who the eye belongs to. He tells them about his side business on the black market. Five keeps pressing.
"Someone has to have bought the eye already, WHO IS IT!?!?"
"I swear, I don't know!" The doctor tries to get as far away from the family as he can, but it is not far enough, Luther grabs him and throws him to the ground.
"You get one more chance before I start cutting off your fingers," Diego tells the poor frightened man, twirling a knife in his right hand. It's then that they hear it, the voice calls to them.
"Why are you hurting that poor man, he has told you all he knows, you don't have to hurt people to get what you want."
They turn around to find White standing behind them a few feet. Quickly One, Two, Three, Four, and Six get on guard Five is just confused. Again White steps forward and extends a hand toward them, "It's not too late, you can be better."
"Five, Ben, Diego, attack him at the same time he can't stop us all," Luther commands.
They rush forward at once. Tentacles attack from the right, being blocked. White dodges Luther's punch and redirects Diego's knife to slash his arm. Five breaks through first getting a good kick to the gut. White stumbles back and the wind picks up blasting Five into a wall. Ben breaks through next grabbing White and slamming White into the pavement. White gets up dodging another knife and redirecting it to stop it from killing a young boy trying to record the whole fight on his phone. Something grabs White's foot.
"Help me…" an old man split in half is glowing blue and trying to drag White down.
"Great work Klaus!" Ben cheers.
The wind picks up knocking everyone back, the ghost disappears into nothing, and White takes a threatening step forward.
"Stay back, I've got this!" Five runs forward grabbing White and disappearing in a flash of blue. Seconds later Five appears again, "Remind me to eat more than just coffee before trying to jump with another person," he mumbles falling forward and passing out.
"Great now we just have to take care of this guy," Diego said, pulling a knife toward the doctor.
"Stop Diego, I didn't sign up for ruthlessly killing people like this!" Ben shouts.
"Yeah, I didn't sign up to be raised by that monster we called a father either, but here we are," Diego argued.
"Stop!" Allison silenced the two, "I know who the eye belongs to."
...
It's been a few days, a few horrible, disgusting, torturous days, but Hazel and Cha-Cha finally have their orders.
"Eliminate Allison Hargeeves"
