One day within 1989, 43 infants are unexpectedly born. Strangely, none of the woman who had given birth to the infants had shown any sign or pregnancy the day or morning before hand. Billionaire Reginald Hargreeves shortly after adopts 8 infants aft...

Klaus was lying on the floor now, panting and shuddering. That's not what i was focused on though, did i just see Ben? "Well.." Dad suddenly slams a book against his other before he goes to pick them up. "Thank you for coming." he pushes his chair back backed, rising as he does. "I've seen about enough." "No, I.." he starts to walk forward, making sure to take cautious as he steps over Klaus's body. Luther quickly jumps from his seat and pulls his shirt apart. "Ah.. luther.. no." i mutter as i look away, in embarrassment. "Look at what you did to me!" Dad looked back, a glimpse of disgust and shock came over him. "Look at it!" he pointed at his his chest and torso. "Oh, shit. Why?" Five leans back in his seat "That's what i'm saying." i mutter. "God, this is embarrassing."
"You, in the culottes, and the girl aside of you. A word, in private?" he points at the door leading out. I quickly rise and follow Five out. I shake my head slightly, as i take a seat next to five again. "You two seem to be the sensible ones of the bunch." "That's because we're the oldest." he looks a bit confused as he tilts his head, "You know, technically, i'm older than you right now." "You know, technically, i'm older than you." i grin as five looks back at me. Believe it or not, i still look like a 13 year old, well, a little older but barely. That time shit hit different on me i guess. "Cognac?" "Just a smidge." "Sure."
"The other night you quoted Homer at me." i scoff slightly, "Why?" "You forced us all to learn it as kids." he fixed himself up on his seat, "in the original greek, no less." I take my cup from the waiter as dad nods slightly and grabs his cup, rising it up before he takes a sip. "Hm." five drinks out of it then looks back down into the cup, "This world ends in five days, if we don't get out of the timeline." "Worlds end. Paleozoic, jurassic, and so on." "We can do something about this one." "Mama greatest flaw: the illusion of control." Five looks down then back up. "We need your help." i speak up.
"Your my last sane option. Otherwise i gotta make a deal that i really don't wanna make." what is he talking about, fuck. Don't tell me he ran into the handler. Damnit, "What do you know about time travel?""In theory?" he asks, "In practice." i finish. "I know it's akin to descending blindly into the depths of freezing waters and reappearing-." he's cut off as Five finishes his sentence for him, "As an acorn. Yeah." "What transpired when you tried traveling before?" "I botched it." "How?" "I jumped too far forward, got stuck in the future for 45 years in an apocalypse." Dad nods.
"Then i jumped too far backwards.. except this time i brought my entire family with me." "Maybe your appetite is disproportionate to the size of your abilities. Start small. Seconds, not decades." he was right, we started off too big, he barely had practice with time traveling it's self. Of course he thought he was ready, but he wasn't. "Seconds?." five gives him a look. "Hmm." "Look, no offense, but i need a bit more time for what i'm trying to accomplish." "So much can change in a matter of seconds. One could overthrow an empire. One could fall in love." five sighs as he gives him a side look, "An acorn doesn't become an oak overnight." "I was really hoping you'd have more than that." "I'm sorry i can't be of more help." "I'm sorry too."
