Chapter 17

⚠️ QUICK WARNING ⚠️

The chapter contains a very short harassment bit. I'd put this dot (•) before it so you can skip if you like until you find this signal (×) so you can continue reading. I forgot to put a warning before and so here I am. Mkay byeee!

THE TWO OF them agreed meet up at the tube room as they parted their ways. Y/N tried looking for more information about what caused the end of the world and Five was having lunch with the Handler.

The Handler finished her liquified meal with a slurp, "And that's how Phil determined that the archduke just had to go." She finished her story, "Care for dessert?" She offered.

"I had a bad Twinkie in the apocalypse once. It kind of put me off desserts." Five refused.

"Please, indulge me." She insisted. Five gave in and took one.

"What's that taste like to you?" She asked as Five chewed the candy in his mouth. The boy pondered over it for a moment, trying to figure out what it tasted like. "The 1950s?"

"Precisely right." The Handler exclaimed. By then, she started talking about how they got to make these particular sweets to taste like a decade.

"Remarkable." Five stated.

"You'll be happy to know it's the very division that's building your new body." She said to him, "Oh, that reminds me. I have something for you." She pressed a button on her intercom and called out for her worker, Carla.

"Yes?" Carla responded.

"Would you bring the box in, please?" The Handler requested.

"Certainly." As if on cue, a lady walked in with a big box. She laid it on the Handler's desk and left the room. Five opened it to see a brand new suit.

Meanwhile, Y/N was being lectured once again by Jay. He found out the whole time he was talking to an illusion when he tried touching the shoulder. He went looking for her and found her running around the halls.

He was mad at her, but it didn't intimidate her at all. He kept bluffing and stuttering, he just made himself less scary for the girl.

What made the girl unsettled though, was how people saw her when she was supposed to be invisible.

She tried to make her hand invisible. It barely did. It disappeared, yes, but when she was doing it, it was flickering like a light. What the hell is happening? She thought.

At this point, she was worried that her telekinesis ability would be faulty, too. So she looked at the light bulb on the ceiling and focused her mind to make it fall. And it did.

Right on top of Jay's head.

She looked down at her trainer's unconscious body and thought, Looks like my ability to turn invisible is the only thing that was faulty..

With that, she shrugged her problem off dismissively and made a run to the tube room.

Little did she know, it would do something to her.

Five saw Dot heading for the tube room with a task in her hand. It alarmed him right away and jumped over there.

As he got there, he eavesdropped at their conversation and hid by the tubes. "Gloria, the Handler knows that Five is up to something, including the new girl. Get this to Hazel and Cha-Cha immediately." She ordered urgently, "Immediately."
