The Unknown (Number 5 x reader)

Part 27

Your point of view:

Five aims the gun at Luther, his finger on the trigger.
"Put. Her. Down." He. Hisses through gritted teeth.
"Put the gun down, you're not killing anyone. I know she's important to you so don't make me do this. It's either her or the gun." Luther says, a bit too confident that Five wouldn't shoot him.
Luther lets go of Delores, as he does, Five spatial jumps and catches her while throwing the gun up for me to catch.
I grab it before Luther can.
"You know I can't keep doing this all day right?" Luther asks rhetorically and snatches Delores back off Five and throws her again. This time I drop the gun and spatial jump to grab her.
Luther picks up the gun, looking smug.
I pass Delores to Five and sit with him as he looks at her.

**Flashback**

"Come on y/n, please.. you don't have to go alone. Let me go with you I-"
"Five, you're injured, please stay here. Try to work out how to get back. I won't be long. Anyways, you have Delores.."
Five nods slowly and slowly lets go of my hand as I stand up.
"Promise I'll be back."
I then left...it took me two days to get back to him. It shouldn't haves taken that long.
I get back and look down to see him, asleep with Delores in his arms.
Guess he was never really as tough as he seemed.

**End of flashback**

"I know you're still good people. Otherwise, you wouldn't have risked everything coming back here to save us all. But..you aren't on your own anymore."
A moment of silence falls over us.
"There is one way...but it's just about impossible." Five says while slowly looking up at Luther.
"More impossible than what brought you back here?"
Five sighs and looks at me.

-Time skip-

We sit in the car with a black leather briefcase.
"You know.. I never enjoyed it.."
"What?"
"The killing.. I mean I was..we were good at our work and I..I took pride in it. But it never gave me pleasure." Five admits.

The subject is then slowly changed..
"Do you think they'll buy it?" Luther asks while examining the case.
"Well, what I do know is that they're desperate. It's like a cop losing his gun- if the Commission finds out, they'll be in deep shit. Oh, not to mention the fact they'll be stuck here until they get it back." Five answers.
"And considering our history with those two, no one wants that.. but there's not much we can do about that now.."
I add.

"I should hold onto it..In case they move on you." Luther says protectively.
"Okay Luther but.. be careful. I mean..I've lived a long life but you're still a young man. You've got your whole life ahead of you. Don't waste it." Five says looking slightly concerned.
Luther looks shocked. It's honestly the funniest face I've ever seen anyone pull. Probably because it appears as if a teenage boy was telling him all of that.

A car eventually comes into view. Slowly, we all step out of the car.

Should be more to come soon but I have other books to go and update. I may even write another chapter today. Also really quick: I'm going away for 10 days so chapters uploaded then may only be cute little fillers with a lot less speech (I'm sure you probs want that). As always, thanks for reading! I hope to see you in the next part :))
