Warning: swearing

"Five?"

The boy who was standing in front of them was Five. Now that they take a closer look, the boy did look like Five when he was that age.

"Five! Where have you been!?" the Umbrella Academy asked, whilst the Hargreeves continue to stare at the boy.

Five didn't respond, in fact he looked as if his mind was somewhere else.

"Five? You with us, buddy?" Klaus asked as he waved his hand in front of Five. That seemed to catch Five's attention since he smacked the hand away from his face.

At that moment, Five finally focused on his surroundings. He was surrounded by people, half being his siblings. For a moment, Five felt relief. Just for a moment though, because the next thing he saw was the other group. They were his siblings too but also not his siblings. 'Doublegangers?'' he thought. If he was right then it wouldn't end well. 'Paradox Psychosis should've taken effect by now,' he turned back to his siblings. 'No itching, excessive sweating and no excessive gas.' he noted as he continued to scan the group. He then look back at the "doubles". It was no mistake that they were his siblings, despite the slight differences: Viktor, Ben and that random guy. It could be that they landed in a parallel timeline, but is that even possible?

As much as he would liked to continue his thinking, Five's thoughts were interrupted by the unknown man.

"So this is what you meant when you said that your Five time travelled?"

Five looked at the man who spoke. While the others looked like his siblings, this man is definitely not one of them.

Five turned to his siblings who seemed to just nod as a response to the man's question. The man then proceeds to walk towards Five and said, "So you're my alternate, nice to meet you."

After explaining the situation, they all went back to the Foyer to return to continue their previous conversation before Five showed up.

"Alright, so as we were discussing before, which was about you guys mentioning the end of the world, how exactly did the 'world' end?" Five's alternate self asked.

The Umbrellas were quiet. They all looked at each other, as if deciding whether to answer the question or leave them in the dark. Ultimately, it was Five who spoke.

"Well, in our original timeline, I traveled to the future, April 1st 2019, only to find that I was the last man alive. I spent 45 years there before finding the right equations and going back to the 24th of March 2019 in my 13 year old body. Spent the next 8 days trying to stop the apocalypse, only to find out that-" before he continued, he glanced at Viktor who in return gave him a small nod. "-ordinary Number 7 was not ordinary at all. In fact, he might be the most powerful one out of all of us." Five glanced back at Viktor.

The Hargreeves seemed to be taking the information well, this meant that they knew about Viktor's powers.

"In the end, as pieces of the moon start to fall into the surface of the Earth, we used my ability to time travel to go back in time, in an attempt to escape impending doom."

"So Viktor was the cause of the apocalypse?" Alternate Five asked. Five nodded.

"So I'm assuming that you've just recently found out of his powers?" They nodded.

"Well, that's another difference between our worlds. We found out about it when we were younger, though it was by coincidence.." Alternate Five said while staring back at Vanya. Vanya smiled sheepishly. "On that topic, we haven't really finished listing the difference of our universes since it was interrupted by," Alternate Five gestured at Five.

"Shall we continue?" Alternate Five asked. The others nodded.

"So first and far most, your Five time travelled, while I didn't. Second, we found out about Vanya's powers early on, while you guys only found out the previous week-"

"Actually, it's been a few years, months and/or weeks for each of us." Viktor interrupted.

"Oh?"

"As I said before, I used my ability to time travel to escape impending doom, however time travel is a crapshoot and the burden of bringing 5, 6 if you count Ben, people messed up my calculations. We all ended up in the 60s but in different time points. Klaus and Ben ended up in 1960, Allison a year later, Luther in 1962, Diego and Viktor in 1963 but in different months, and I arrived on November 25th 1963 in the middle of a nuclear war."

"A nuclear war!? That never happened in the 1960s!" one of the Hargreeves exclaimed.

"Exactly, it was a war that wasn't there until we arrived."

"So I assume you travelled back in time to stop the war from happening?" Alternate Five asked.

"Yes and no. Hazel was the one who brought me back 10 days before the end of the world."

"Hazel?" the Hargreeves looked confused.

Five too was confused before realizing that if he had never time travelled, he wouldn't have been recruited by the Commission. Speaking of the Commission, does it exist in this universe? Most likely yes, since this universe seems to be parallel to his. 'Shit' he thought. If the Commission existed that means that they know that they're here, and they might try to "fix" the timeline.

While Five was stuck in his thoughts, the others continue to explain the events that occured before they arrived in the this universe. From the 1960s to the Sparrow Timeline.

The Hargreeves were left stunned at what the Umbrellas had just said. Though the shock didn't last long as it was interrupted by Five cursing.

"Shit. Shitshitshitshitshit SHIT!!" Five cursed as he held onto his hair.

"Five! What's wrong!?" Allison said in a worried tone.

Five looked up from his fist, which was still on the table, and turned to Allison.

"The-" before he could continue, the sound of the door opening and footsteps could be heard from the hall.

"Shit, they're here."

A/N: And that's a wrap on chapter 5! This is probably the longest chapter so far haha. Side note: this entire story is based on an alternate season 3, meaning that everything that happened in the sparrow timeline in this fic is not at all what happened in the actual season 3 since this was created before the release. Anyways, hope you enjoyed!
