Warning: swearing
A/N: The alternate universe is based off of "How The Fabrics of the Universe Will Fuck You Up", a fanfic made by fandomsandshit.That fanfic does not belong to me, though I recommend reading it. It's well written and the plot is great. You might not understand some aspects of this fanfic unless you read that one. You can find it on Ao3. This is also my first ever fanfic, so I apologize for any mistakes.
The date is the 25th of March, 2019
Reginald Hargreeves was found dead in his mansion.
Diego had forced them to attend the funeral, so he can get Mom out of that godforsaken house. They agreed.
It had been years since they stepped foot in the academy. Though not much had changed since then. The academy looked the same as it was before they left.
Once they greeted Pogo and Grace, they went to the foyer.
In one universe, Five's portrait would be hanging over the mantlepiece. In another, it was Ben's.
But in this universe, it was Reginald's.
The Hargreeves sat around the bar, opening a bottle from Reginald's collection. They laughed as they drank, celebrating the death of the old man, finally being free from him, once and for all.
Watching Diego throw his knifes at their father's portrait, insulting him in the process, Five laughed and took a sip of his drink, when he felt something odd. He looked around and saw nothing. He brushed it off before the air tightened around him, followed by a buzzing in his head similar to a white noise.
He dropped his glass, which shattered and caught the attention of his siblings. He tried to get up from his seat, before stumbling down onto his knees, hands on his head trying to block out the noise.
"Five! What's wrong??"
Five stayed silent, experiencing sensory overload, when all of a sudden a blue light appeared, followed by a sudden magnetic force, attracting all the metal objects around.
The siblings helped Five up before going to the courtyard to check on the blue glow.
When they got out, they saw a blue glass-like portal.
"What is it?"
"Don't get too close!"
"Yeah, no shit."
"Looks like some sort of temporal anomaly. Either that or a miniature black hole. One of the two."
"Pretty big difference there, Luther!"
The portal grew larger and brighter.
"Woah! Woah, woah."
"Everyone get behind me!"
"Yeah, get behind us!"
Five moved backwards, backing up to the fence, and screamed as he dropped to the ground, hands on the side of his head. He was experiencing a sensory overload but now worse. The constant buzzing of space and the suffocating chill from time was getting more unbearable by the second, while the wall of reality was looming over him, quaking.
Suddenly, five people appeared out of nowhere. They fell out of the portal, and the portal disappeared. The Hargreeves were confused.
"Does anyone else see themselves, or is that just me?"
The doublegangers got up and looked at the Hargreeves.
"Shit."
A/N: And that's the end of chapter 1! It's a bit short but hope you enjoyed the first chapter :)
