The Space Between Us (S1) || Five Hargreeves x Reader

☕️ Chapter Twenty Five ☕️

We run into the theater and there's music playing, meaning the concert has already started.

Allison beats her pen against the notepad, grabbing our attention. She wrote: 'Either me or Y/n need to go alone. Preferably me.'

"Allison, I can't let either of you do that, alright? She's beyond reasoning." Luther replies.

"You hear this music?" Diego asks, already raising his tone. "It's started. We've got to do something quick!"

"Do you honestly think she's going to listen to any of us? After everything that's happened to her?" Luther asks.

"Let her try, Luther!" I exclaim. "The end of the world is at stake and you're going to let it happen just because you think her plan won't work? It's the best option we have right now! Just get over yourself already, asshole!"

He finally nods with a sigh. "Ok, but only Allison goes."

She nods and quickly runs into the room where the music is being played.

"You're only using her as a distraction, aren't you?" Diego asks.

"It's our best chance to incapacitate Vanya." Luther replies, making me punch his arm as hard as I can.

Luther immediately brings his other hand to his arm and looks at me. "What? She'll thank us later. Let's go." We head towards the same room as Allison.

"So, what's the plan?" Klaus asks.

I stop and turn around. "Klaus, just stay out front for us...please? You can run in and warn us if any of those masked guys show up again."

"What?" He whines. "So, what? I'm the lookout?"

"I didn't say that." I reply. "Just...just stay out front, please? You'll be helping us out so much."

"Fine..." He agrees, turning around to go back outside.

"Thank you!" I exclaim, then follow Luther and Diego into the auditorium.

"We've just got to get backstage, then run in on her when Allison's caught her eye." Luther informs.

I shake my head. "I'm not going with that plan. Diego, I thought you didn't want to do this either."

"Yeah. Well, that changed after I decided against dying." He replies.

Diego and Luther go through the backstage door, and I just stay out to the side of the theater, listening to her play. She looks really creepy right now. Her skin is really pale and her eyes are glowing.

Suddenly, both of them run out on stage, but before they could reach her, she uses her bow to send out a very powerful burst, throwing them off the stage and away from her.

Now, there's chaos. People are running and screaming towards the exits, trying to escape. I want to do that too. All I want to do is relax and try to get rid of this damn headache.

I push through the crowds of people, trying to get to Allison. "I told them we should help her. Did they listen? No! Why would they do that? How could I possibly ever have any good ideas?" I grumble to myself.

I get behind the chairs with Allison, once I reach her. The guys are in the row directly opposite of us.

Allison throws a clutch that someone dropped at Luther, who looks in our direction. "Yeah. We're fine. Thanks for asking." Luther responds sarcastically.

"You really would've been fine, if you just stuck with our idea!" I exclaim. "You know, the one where we just help her out?!"

"Look. I almost lost Allison once, alright? I wasn't about to lose her again." He replies. "So much for the element of surprise. What else you got?"
