A Whole New World

Five spotted the Auburn haired girl near the entrance to the School and spacial jumped next to her.

She jumped the slightest bit and continued to walk.

"What?" She asked, not in the mood for another confrontation.

"I'm sorry." He replied, making the girl stop in her tacks, Five stopping with her.

"Sorry for what?" She asked him.

"For using Henry, for listening in on your conversation with the Emma girl or whoever, anything else I did wrong." He explained.

"Apology accepted on these terms; if your trying to find out secrets about me or whatever your doing keep everyone else out of it. Also, stop eavesdropping on my conversations with my therapist or anyone else. You suck at it and it's rude and childish." She told him.

"Deal." Five agreed, sounding a little hesitant at first. "So truce?" Five extended his hand.

"Truce." She agreed and accepted the handshake.

Something seemed to catch her eye behind the boy and he turned to see what it was. Pulling up in an expensive looking car was a blonde woman and a brunette.

They parked the car and got out, walking over to Hope and Five.

"Hi, Mom. Aunt Freya." Hope greeted hesitantly.

"Who's this?" The blonde asked, eyeing Five.

"This is Five Hargreeves. He's from another universe." She told them.

"Miss Marshall." Alaric Saltzmans voice spoke. Everyone looked to see him and Caroline standing at the doors to the School.

"If you would follow me. Hope, you may stay out here." He said. The brunette walked inside with the headmaster and headmistress while the blonde stayed out her.

"So, another universe..... that's a first." She commented.

"Same on our end, too. In Eight days my family have managed to time travel, destroy our house, get captured and tortured, blow up the moon, set off an apocalypse, and then I stranded them in a while other universe." Five listed.

"Yeah, well, as.... Interesting as that is I have to talk to my niece." Freya said, eyeing the boy once again.

Hope followed her off and Five kept to his promise to not eaves drop but it took a lot to obey himself.

"What has gotten into you lately?" Freya asked as they walked down a path in the woods.

"What do you mean?"

"Hope."

"I'm sorry, okay? I try to keep it under control, I really do, but lately that's been harder than ever." Hope gave in.

"And why is that?" Freya questioned.

"Everyone is always talking and it drives me crazy. They keep saying how Dad is the worst and how he's going completely mad and I just loose it." She answers, frustration and anger obvious in her voice.

"Hope, you can't keep doing that. When people like you and me freak out, entire villages can burn. Losing control is not a luxury we can afford." Freya replied.

"It's not a luxury, Freya. It sucks and I just want it to stop happening."

"Well, we have something that can help." Freya stated cautiously. She pulled out a silver bracelet and held it out as Hope stared in disbelief.

"No. No! I'm not wearing that again. I don't need it anymore." Hope protested.

"Hope, it's only for when the School day is over or when you get too angry and things like that." Freya tried.

"No! You can't make me wear that again."

"Hope, it's to protect you and everyone else." Freya said, a little loudly then paused before saying quietly, "Just wear it, Hope. Please."

Hope cautiously took the silver bracelet out of Freya's hand and wrap it around her wrist.

"Can we go now?" She asked after she clipped it on.

"Yes. I'll try and calm your mother down before she talks to you."

"Thank you, Aunt Freya. I'm sorry for shouting." Hope replied as the two stood.

"Apology accepted. Now let's go, these bugs are gonna meet an end worse than death if they don't stop biting me." Freya stated threateningly towards the bugs as they started walking, causing Hope to laugh.
