*ZAP*

I landed in an alley way.

The sound of cars, waves crashibg at a nearby beach and the chatter of people walking by filled the air as I looked around and started walking to the street.
The briefcase was impractical carrying it around like this.

I got to the sidewalk and started walking down, dodging people as I walked.
I was getting some weird stares from people I passed.
Probably cause I'm a 16 year old girl with a suit and a briefcase.

It was scorching hot and I was sweating like crazy.
I'm definitely in Australia.

I slid my hand into the file, between the sheets of paper and pulled out the photo of Richmin.
No one on the streets looked like him, so I made my way to a nearby coffee shop.

Once I was in, I walk straight to the counter.
There was a young girl, about my age standing behind the counter.

"Hi, welcome to baking Co. What can I get for you today?"
The girl asked politely in a classic Australian accent.

Even thought she was smiling, I could tell she was judging me, looking me up and down like I was a bug that needed to be squashed immediately.

A good way for me to blend in is that because I can shape shifted, I can imitate different accents and sounds quite well.

"Just a black coffee for me thanks"
I said in my best Australian accent, black coffee was Five's favourite drink.

I'm pretty sure it was convincing enough considering the girl just smiled and started making coffee.

"Do you have any restrooms here?"
I asked.

"Yep, just at the back of the store, next the the kitchen"
She replied, pointing to the back of the store.

I locked myself in one of the stalls at the back of the shop.

"I can't walk around a random town in Australia dressed like a 40 year old buisness women."
I thought to myself.

"And carrying around a briefcase all most the size of me doesn't help either."

Suddenly I had an idea.
I shifted into a fly and flew over the stall, out the bathroom door and into the kitchen, I flew out the back door and to a clothing shop right next to the coffee shop.

I shift back before walking in.
I grabbed the closest shirt and shorts I saw, along with bright yellow crocs.
(I know but I was desperate)

But then it hit me.

"How am I going to pay for all this?'

I scanned the room and saw two twenty dollar notes hanging out on a man's pocket.

I hid behind a clothing rack and shifted into a fly again, flew out, took the money from his pocket and shifted back.
I payed for the clothes and flew back to the coffee shop as a small sparrow.

Once I was in the stall again, I changed into my new clothes.

I wore a green cropped top and denim shorts along with, of course, the bright yellow crocs.
I hid my okd clothes and the briefcase behind a loose tile I found in the bathroom.

I know the video said I had to keep the briefcase on me at all times, but who gives a shit about time travel?

I walked pit of the changing room, paid for the coffee with the change in had from the clothes and sat down next to an open window.

I sipped my coffee and scrunched up my face.

"Still tastes like shit, Five"
I said quietly to myself and smiled.

I watched the world go by.
I saw a group of boys, in between the ages of 12 and 15.
One of them held one of our comics in his hand.

"The umbrella academy, hotel oblivion"

I smiled, I remembered that.

I took another sip of the coffee and fiddled with my charm bracelet.

Five loved coffee, even though dad wasn't a big coffee drinker.

I looked at the heart charm and laughed.
He was so akward and cute, well, at least around me.
According to the others, he was an asshole.

"It's fine, y/n. Dad doesn't even drink coffee."
Five said as he poured some into a mug each.

"It's dunno, Five. Dad doesn't really like us snooping around his stuff."
I said as I took one of the mugs.

"It's not really his stuff, and have you even tried coffee?"
Five replied.

I shook my head and looked down at the dark coloured liquid in my mug.

"Is it nice?"
I asked him.

"The best thing ever created"
He said and started drinking his.

I hesitated before taking a sip.
It was bitter and nothing like I expected.
I spat it out.

"That tastes like shit, Five! How do you drink this and LIKE it?!"

Five laughed so hard he spilled his coffee.

I looked up from my bracelet ay the door to the coffee shop and smirked as I saw a familiar face walk in.
