SAVE THE MOTHERFUCKING WORLD// FIVE HARGREEVES

3:31

The rest of the night was a blur, but somehow they ended up in the kitchen, five groaned knocking a pan onto her face "why?"

She lifted the pan off her face and put down the pot she was using as a blanket "my head" she moaned

"What did we get up to last night"
She squinted her eyes, trying to remember anything from the other night

"Luther!" five smiled, speaking into the microphone "Congrats"
"Yea-" she burped "congrats you..you- hairy man"
"It's... It's a goddamn miracle, that's what it is"

She swallowed sharply, clips of memories from the night flashing in her head "oh god" she winced
"Was it that bad?"
"Worse"

They both laughed into the microphone "Yeah! I mean, did anyone here think that Luther, of all people, would find someone to touch his...?" he said, waving the bottle around

She hiccuped "The guy's a monkey virgin from space. It's a... It's a hard match to make"

"We're all... We're all thinking about it. It's the elephant in the room, buddy. I wish you well. Happy-- It's not your birthday. Happy wedding day, my friend. Take care"

He pushed the mic to her, nudging her to say something "yea yea take care" she spluttered "we might see you tomorrow or we might not who knows" she threw her head back

"Oh god" she put her hand on her head, snapping out of the memory "i mean he is a monkey virgin from space but-"
"Do you remember what happened just before we passed out in that..elevator" he said, his tone more serious

All she could remember was a blurry vision of reginald in the buffalo sweet talking to someone and doing something he shouldn't have been doing "There is no time. I can't do this without you. Do we have a deal?" Reginald's voice rang in her head

"Reginald.." she muttered under her breath
"Who the hell is he talking to?"

He helped the girl up to sit next to him as they both let their memories of the night sink in "What was the old man up to?"

After being dragged out of the kitchen by five, and forcing her to get dressed and pull herself together, they found themselves sat side by side on the edge of what once was a street but now led into darkness 'the red abis' she had called it, drinking more alcohol to try and calm their nerves for what was going to happen later that day

she dropped items she had found around the hotel into the abyss, five watched as her face lit up

There were footsteps behind them "Reginald"

"I take it you know why I'm here" he said, looking down on them
"How 'bout I save you some time? Give you the "no" upfront. were not the least bit interested in this bullshit plan you've been cooking"

"It's not, as you so colourfully called it, bullshit"
She sniffled a laugh at the way he said it, earning a look from the old man "Mind if I join you?" he said sitting down, not awaiting an answer

"Actually, appreciate some... solitude" he tried to explain but reginald had already made his division and sat down
"It seems we won't get any" she passed the bottle to the man

"Ah yes you two have been attached at the hip since i arrive" he chuckled
"That's because we know time is running out" she gritted her teeth

"Dear God!" he spluttered handling the bottle back
"Mm-hmm. Louis XIII, it ain't."
"I've had worse" he looked back towards the sky "It is impressive, isn't it?"

She took her head off of fives shoulder and stared at it "horrifically marvellous"

"All the ways we could have screwed the pooch, this way is the most complete. I'm relieved, actually. This time, everything goes. There's no Commission, no leaping away. No life spent going mad with the desperation to see a familiar face" he said truthfully, his hand tightening around hers
