Umbrella Academy Unstoppable

Paradox Phycosis

November 22nd, 1963, Dallas

Your pov:

When I woke up the sun was seeping through the blinds and was cast upon my face.

I couldn't tell how long I had slept for but all I know is that is was a while,
"Good morning"
A gentle voice greets from the other side of the room.

I sit up to see Five, he held two cups of coffee.
I stood up and he handed one to me and kissed my cheek.
"Thank you, good morning"
I tell him and he smiles gently.

"Are you ready for today?"
I ask him as I sit down on the bed, lightly sipping my coffee.
"As ready as I can be"
Five tells me as he sits down next to me.

"Well there is a large jug of water in the fridge so that takes care of stage three"
I tell him and he nods,
"It's definitely gonna be a roller coaster"
He states before he knocks back the rest of his coffee.

"Im pretty sure that Eliot has a bottle of baby powder somewhere..so that'll help stage two"
I tell him as I finish off my coffee and stand up.

I take Fives coffee cup from him and set the cups down on the nightstand,
"Well lets get ready then"
I breath out as I pick my tie up off the floor.
Five nods and walks over to the other side of the room to pick up his shoes.

After we are both ready, I walk over to the door and open it.
"Luther's still asleep"
I state as I look back at Five,
"How do you know that?"
Five questions with an eyebrow raised.

I point to my head,
"My new powers"
I state and he nods,
"Yeah I gotta get used to that"
He states, almost in a whisper and I snicker.

We both leave the room and I head to the bathroom,
I look underneath the sink and couldn't find any baby powder.
I checked the cabinets and eventually found a bottle.

I picked it up and closed the cabinets,
I walked into the main room and see Luther sprawled out on the couch, out cold.

I go into the kitchen and set the powder down on the counter,
"Got the powder"
I state as Five grabs the water jug out of the fridge.

"Guys?"
I hear Luther ask from the main room.

Five quickly chugs half of the water jug and hands it to me, I drink the rest of it and set it down on the counter.

"You guys ok?"
Luther asks as we watches us chug the water,
"We need to be hydrated"
Five states blankly.

"Hydrated?"
Luther questions as Five picks up the baby powder,
"What's with the baby powder?"
Luther questions as Five pours the powder down his shirt and pants.

"It'll help with the itching"
I state as I take the powder from Five and repeat the same actions,
"What itching? There's itching? What the hell is going on here?"
Luther is very confused at this point.

After a second, Luther's face lights up.
"You guys do have a plan"
He states,
"Well, it's a desperation move, but since our brain-dead siblings are incapable of meeting a simple deadline, we got no choice"
Five states as he walks into the main room.

"No choice about what?"
Luther questions as I grab my blazer and walk into the main room next to Five,
"We have to find ourselves"
I state.

Five takes out his watch and checks the time on it,
"We just arrived in Dallas 15 minutes ago"
Five states as he puts the watch away.

"Should I be worried about you two?"
Luther questions,
"Luther, if you recall, We were sent to 1963, on a job by the Commission, to make sure the president was assassinated"
Five tells Luther as we both begin to stretch.

"Oh! So wait your old selves are out there"
Luther tells us in realization,
"Precisely"
Five states as we both stop stretching.

"What just walking around Dallas?"
Luther questions,
"Walking around Dallas with a briefcase that can get us home"
I tell him.

"Oh my god guys, your geniuses"
Luther tells us and I nod,
"When are we not?"
I ask and Five turns to me,
"Never"
He states and than looks back to Luther.

"However, there are two significant problems with this plan, problem number one: we are both trained assassins, arguably the most dangerous assassins in the space-time continuum, if we know ourselves were not gonna react very kindly to bumping into ourselves"
Five begins to explain.

"Problem number two, and this the real fly in the ointment here: you're not supposed to exist in close proximity of yourself in the same timeline, the side affects can be disastrous"
Five tells Luther and he looks at us strangely.

"Side effects? What sort of side effects?"
He asks us,

"Well, according to Commission handbook chapter 27 subsection 3b, the seven stages of paradox psychosis are, stage one: Denial"
I begin.

"Two: Itching"
Five continues,
"Three: extreme thirst and urination"
I add on.
"Four: excessive gas"
Five continues,
"Five: Acute paranoia"
I state,
"Six: uncontrolled perspiration"
Five says.

"And seven-"
Five begins,
"Homicidal Rage"
We both state in unison.

"Homicidal rage?"
Luther questions,
"Yeah"
Five tells him.

"Geez I don't know, this maybe isn't such a good idea"
Luther tells us,
"Its a Hail Mary"
I tell him.

"But what choice do we got Luther?"
I ask him,
"I don't know you both already seen a bit squirrely if I'm being honest"
Luther states.

"Look Luther, I'm going to need you to help us get through this one all right? We need a spotter"
Five states as he goes up to Luther.

"A spotter?"
Luther questions,
"Yeah"
Five tells him.

"What is that, like a wingman?"
Luther questions and I walk up to him,
"In case the Paradox psychosis gets too severe, we need you to help us stay on task all right?"
I ask Luther.

"So whatever happens, whatever we say, we need to get that briefcase, okay?"
Five asks Luther and he nods,
"Okay"
He states.

"Okay"
I nod and take Five's hand, we begin to walk away when we realize Luther wasn't following us.

"Luther come on"
Five states.
"Right"
Luther states and jogs over to us.
