On the twelfth hour of the first of october in 1989, forty three women gave birth. The forty three women had not been pregnant when the day first began. Eccentric Billionaire Reginald Hargreeves attempted to adopt as many of them as he could. He got eight of them.

|《[(Opening_Sequence)]》|

Five winced as [Y/N] sewed him back up from their fight with Hazel and Cha Cha. After they had gotten back, she had sought answers. Answers he wasn't ready to give her, but he did. And now she understood the stakes. Five had to stop the apocalypse while running from masked assassins that were trying to kill him to prevent the prevention of the apocalypse. She slipped the needle into his skin one more time, cut the string, and placed a bandage over the wound.

"There. You good now?" she asked him. Five stayed silent. "What are we doing today?"

"We're not doing anything. I'm going to stakeout Meritech. Someone is bound to come there looking for the specific eye. You'll stay here where it is safe." he told her as he put on his white shirt and started buttoning it up before placing the vest over it.

"No. I'm going with you. You're going to need some company." [Y/N] replied.

"I won't be alone. I'll have Delores." Five said nonchalantly as he grabbed the bag Delores was in which made [Y/N] cross her arms over her chest and gave her best friend a look. "What?"

"You're going to choose a mannequin over me?" she asked him.

"Yeah, so?" he asked her.

"You're choosing a plastic doll over a pile of winter flesh and blood?" she asked him.

"Why are you so upset about this?" he asked her.

"Because I want to help you. In anyway I can. And you're putting me on the bench. Making me feel absolutely and completely useless." [Y/N] replied.

"I'm not putting you on the bench, because you're useless, which I don't think you are. I'm putting you on the bench because I think it's safest for you to be." he told her.

"And why would you want me on the bench? Four eyes are better than two." the girl argued.

"Because I can't lose you again!" he told her. "I told you that the rest of my family died and you were in the midst of it, [Y/N]."

"I don't give a damn about that. I'm going with you." she put her foot down.

He sighed, caving into what she wanted. "Fine." And the two of them crawled out the window and to alleyway next to the house.

Klaus was down there in the dumpster. [Y/N] sighed. What the hell is my idiot of a brother doing?

"I'd ask what you're up to, Klaus, but then it occured to me. I don't care." Five told him.

"Hey." Klaus laughed as the two thirten year old jumped off the ladder. "You know there are easier ways out of the house, buddy?"

"This one involved the least amount of talking. Or so I thought." Five explained.

"Hey, hey, hey, so..." Klaus started. "You need anymore company today?"

"I think we're good Klau-Bear." [Y/N] commented as she wrapped her hand around Five's arm.

"Oh, I know what's going on. The two lovebirds need some alone time. I got it." Klaus smirked.

"Sometimes I wonder if there really is a brain in there." Five commented.

"At least you already have the scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz." [Y/N] shrugged.

"Yeah, well, you have the cowardly lion by your side." Klaus smirked.

"I'm done listening to the two of you talk the Wizard of Oz. C'mon, [Y/N]." he pulled her along before spotting the plumber van.

The two of them ran off towards it. [Y/N] heard Klaus in the background scream, "I love you! Even if you can't love yourself." [Y/N] turned towards Klaus and gave him her middle finger as Five threw in the bag and gave him the bird. "HEY! THAT'S NOT HOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TREAT YOUR FAVORITE BROTHER!"

And with that [Y/N] hopped into the van and it drove away to Meritech.

**

The two teenagers sat in the van to the side to watch people going in and coming out of the Meritech building. Five grabbed Delores from the bag (before passing a bottle of scotch to [Y/N]). And placed her in the aisle between [Y/N] and Five.

"Sorry you were in there for so long, Delores." Five told the mannequin. "No, I'm not drunk. I'm working. Yes, it's about the eye thing. This is the place it was made. Or... will be made."

[Y/N] stiffled a laugh at that. "You've got to be kidding me? You talk to the mannequin like it can reply?"

He glared at her. "You talk to Slappy like it's a living, breathing thing."

"Because he's Slappy! There's a reason I named the dummy after the dummy in Night of the Living Dummy!"

"Because it can talk and eat like a person?"

"Ice can do many wonderful things. So does my snow. They're living creatures even when I don't want them to be." she explained. "It's been a rough couple of days. I have never been out of my room or that house this long in I don't know how long."

"You seem to be doing good on your own. At least you can create life with your powers, so you don't go crazy in isolation." Five told her.

"I would rather be Repunzal locked away in her tower than the Snow Queen creating all of her minions to put the world in eternal winter." she explained. "Hey, Five."

"Hmm?" he looked at her.

"Can I sleep on you?" she asked him. Why the hell did I say that? Curse my chicken self.

"Yeah. Come here." she crawled into his lap and rested her head on his shoulder. She listened to his heartbeat as she was lulled to sleep.

Last update for awhile. But I'll finish this book before September (I hope).
