"𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓. 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐎𝐅𝐅 𝐈 𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐀 𝐒𝐀𝐘 𝐈'𝐌 𝐒𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐘. I know I really screwed the pooch on this whole going-back-in-time-and-getting-stuck- thing." Five started the intervention if you can call it that way, as he stood in front of everyone while his siblings gathered around him in the living room.

Allison, Y/n, and Vanya were all sitting on the couch, Diego was standing behind a chair and leaning on it with his hands, Luther was sitting way in the back and Klaus was getting himself a drink or doing something. Ben sat in one of the chairs next to the stairs but it doesn't really matter because nobody will even notice him there.

"But the real kick in the pants here is we brought the end of the world back here with us." Five said as he locked eyes with Y/n.

Klaus turned around and looked at everyone with his drink in his hand. "Oh, my god, again?"

But everyone just gave him looks that said "Didn't you know?" which was true. He was the only one who had no clue what's about to happen in just a few days which was not something to be surprised about.

"All of you knew? Why am I always the last one to find out about the end of the- Oh, my god. My cult is gonna be so pissed. Five! I told them we had until 2019." Klaus whined like a little boy.

"We have until Monday." Five sternly replied. "We have six days."

"Is it Vanya?" Klaus asked as he drank some alcohol from his cup.

"Klaus." Allison and Y/n scolded in unison looking at him to defend their sister who really doesn't remember how she destroyed the world.

"What? It's usually Vanya." Klaus reasoned with an argument that didn't really make sense considering the times the world has ended.

Vanya shook her head for feeling bad having to listen to that again and changed the subject. "Do you have any leads, Five?"

Diego picked up a document folder and gave it to Five without making any eye contact. Five took it from his hands and gave it to Allison who was on his left. "Yeah, we have one."

Allison took it and opened it. There she saw a picture of their dad standing on the grassy knoll on the president's assassination day. "Holy shit, is that dad?" She exclaimed as she looked at Five in disbelief.

Y/n scoffed and crossed her arms on her chest as she leaned on the sofa wanting to deny the fact that it might not be their dad but Diego saw her reaction and made sure that it was him to her. "Yeah." He glared at her as he spoke up to which she glared back.

Klaus and Vanya came closer to the file to read it and so did Y/n. She just wanted to see what everybody was looking at even though she knew exactly what it looked like.

"That's him?" Vanya asked examining the picture since that was the first time she saw her father.

"Standing on the grassy knoll." Diego elaborated for the siblings.

But Five ignored Diego and continued talking. "Diego, Y/n, and I have been trying to talk to dad about what exactly this means. So far, we've got nothing."

"Not nothing. We know he's planning to kill Kennedy." Diego protested still trying to prove his point.

"Maybe. But we don't know who or what sets doomsday in motion." Five put down the folder. "Could be Kennedy, could be something entirely independent. But if we know something changes the timeline, we have to make it right.

"Yeah, but how are we supposed to fix it, if we don't know what's broken?" Allison shook her head with her drink in her hand.

"Oh, come on. Do the math. We know dad's having shady-ass meetings with some shady-ass people. And we know he's on the grassy knoll in three days to kill the president." Diego stood up and walked next to Five. "So I think we all know what we have to do."

Everybody looked at him confused having no clue what he meant saying that. Five turned around and looked at him before glancing back at the rest of the siblings thinking that they had the same idea.

"Find Dad."

"Kill Dad."

Five and Diego said in unison. Five turned around once again to look at Diego with a confused look. But everyone just looked at the boys unbelievably. Meanwhile, Y/n rolled her eyes and looked away.

"None of us are supposed to be here, right?" Vanya started talking while Diego walked away from Five, Klaus went to sit down on a chair, Allison took a sip of her drink and Y/n crossed her arms on her chest and looked at her. "I mean, what if it's us? Has anyone here done anything to screw up the timeline?"

Klaus put his hand on his back and shook his head saying something like "No, no way, I'm innocent".

Diego looked down and crossed his arms thinking "Well, I'm trying to save JFK as a hero should do".

Five tilted his head thinking "Depends on what y'all are screwing up".

Allison poured in some of her drink in her glass with a look that said "I'm fighting for right as I should be doing".

Y/n looked around at everyone and tilted her head thinking "I was trying to kill my brother who is also my ex-husband who is also kind of like my boyfriend because I was mad that he fact that he lied to me but turns out I don't have to do that anymore and now I'm hella lost".

Luther was the first to speak up after the silence. "Diego's been stalking Lee Harvey Oswald." He pointed at him.

Diego didn't even think of answering that calmly. "And you're working for Jack Ruby." He yelled pointing at him.

Luther just rolled his eyes with an "Okay, and?" kind of look.

"Allison has been very involved in local politics." Klaus tuned in to the conversation.

"Okay, you started a cult." Allison pointed at him with a drink in her hand.

"Thank you!" Ben spoke from the chair, but of course, only for Klaus to hear him so he growled and hissed.

"I'm...I'm just a...a nanny on a farm. I don't have anything to do with all of that." Vanya tried to look like the innocent one of the group completely ignoring the fact that she was also in a romance with the farm's owner.

Allison shook her head and looked at her. "Well, maybe you do, we just don't know it yet."

Then Diego whistled sharply to get everyone's attention which they all did. "Listen to yourselves. Everything in our lives is connected to Kennedy. That can't be a coincidence. Luther works for Ruby, Allison is protesting the government, dad is on the grassy knoll, Klaus is..."

Diego glanced at Klaus who was fixing his long hair by throwing it back. "...doing something weird and pervy but probably related."

Ben nodded his head and gave a "Fair enough" look to that comment.

"See, clearly, we were all sent back here for one special reason: saving John Fitzgerald Kennedy." Diego acted like he was in some sort of movie which was honestly pathetic.

After that, everyone started talking over each other and heated arguments started to come up. Y/n saw that Five was just looking into something and thinking about something deeply.

She stood up from the sofa. "Ok, that's about enough." She said under her breath. The girl walked over to Five so that she could be in the middle of everyone.

"Hey, you all die." And as she said that, everybody went silent. "Five was there. He saw it. There were Russian nukes that vaporized the world with all of us in it...in a war that never happened until we brought it here. So you all need to shut up and just listen to him. This world ended once because of us and we can't let it happen the second time so you need to get your sideshow acts together...and start thinking about everybody else...not just yourselves."

Everybody just listened in silence to Y/n the whole time. They tried to get rid of the images they could project in their minds of them dying in the future, but it sounded terrible the way she said it.

Five walked over to her with gratitude in his eyes. But he pulled it together and nodded. "Y/n's absolutely right. Listen, we don't know if the things we've experienced here are all connected. We don't know if there's a reason for everything. But dad will. We need to talk to him before everyone and everything we know is dead."

For a couple of seconds, there was silence. Everyone was thinking of what to say. What the two teens said sounded like this the end of the world is much more important than the previous one.

But Luther didn't take anything seriously. "Okay, I'm out." He sighed and stood up from his chair.

"Did you even hear us, Luther?" Five asked turning to him in disbelief.

"Yeah. Yeah, I did." Luther stopped in his tracks. "I heard two 58-year-old's who still want their daddy to come and fix everything. Well, you can count me out. It's time we all grew the hell up." Luther walked out on everyone.

"Luther!"

"Come back!"

The siblings said to him, but Diego stood up and followed him down the stairs. Y/n scoffed and rolled her eyes flopping down on one of the chairs.

"Jesus, Luther..."

But Five just teleported in front of Luther and stopped him from taking another step on the stairs. Luther sighed at the behavior that Five was presenting him with.

"No one leaves until we figure this out."

Luther nodded and Five actually believed that he might actually reconsider, but then he suddenly took Five by his uniform and threw him off the stairs and on the floor.

But Five managed to teleport and he ended up jumping into the back alleyway. "Jeez..."

He leaned against a wall and exhaled sharply trying to calm down. "When did the monkey learn how to fight dirty?" He asked himself.

But his thoughts were interrupted by a rock being thrown off the roof and clattering on the ground. He lifted his head and looked at who was on the roof.

And it was none other than Lila.

"Son of a bitch." Five murmured to himself before Lila raised her eyebrows and ran off the roof and onto the ground. She ran past the alleyway and Five after looking back at the building, ran after her.

"𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖, 𝐈 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐆𝐎 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐓𝐀𝐂𝐎𝐒 𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐍𝐎𝐖. Allison? Tacos?" Klaus asked putting a spoon inside the Jell-O.

Allison turned her head towards the stairs and pointed at them. "Shouldn't we wait?"

"You know those guys. I mean, it could take forever for them to bro it out. Vanya? Y/n? Tacos?" Klaus turned to his other sisters waiting for their answers.

"Is there any way that tacos are gonna cause the end of the world?" Vanya glanced at her siblings back and forth.

Allison stood up and took her purse with her sweater while Klaus scoffed. "I mean, there's only one way to find out, right?" Klaus snapped his fingers. "Y/n? Let's go?"

"Eh? I don't know..." Y/n leaned on her chair and crossed her arms.

"Oh, come on! You can get your little boyfriend later." Klaus came up to her and took her by her hands to help her stand up.

Y/n chuckled and agreed to come with them. "Screw it."

The four of them walked down the stairs giggling and laughing as Ben stayed behind them on one of the chairs.

When they walked out, Ben leaned in and looked at them. "I've missed you all...so much."

𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝐀 𝐁𝐎𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐀𝐋𝐂𝐎𝐇𝐎𝐋 as she growled and chuckled at the mirror. "The nerve of that man. I mean, one thing goes wrong, and he's on a warpath. I mean, doesn't he know who I am?"

She was standing behind Klaus while he sat in one of the salon chairs with his cigarette. Allison looked at the mirror and pointed at herself. "No, no. No, Ray, you know exactly who I am. You just can't handle it. I'm protecting him."

"From what?" Klaus asked.

"The end of the world, for one." Allison said the easiest argument she could.

"Believe me, I know all about terrible marriages. I mean, we're the only two divorced family members in the Hargreeves family." Y/n chuckled as she was sitting in one of the salon chairs too but in the way back. "Five literally ruined my life and I am so dumb that I am still falling for him." She heavily sighed and leaned on her chair. So by the looks of it, Y/n was as drunk as hell.

"Before you two left, everyone shipped you so bad, I hope you know that." Allison chuckled playing with Klaus's hair at the vanity.

While the two women were talking amongst themselves, Vanya was sitting across the salon in the other salon chair playing with her fingers pretending she was shooting a gun. "Pew, pew." Which was adorable.

"Yeah, I do. But people change into the bad side and that...sucks." Y/n sighed and giggled at how ridiculous she sounded. "I mean, I helped him with the end of the world. Twice! In 2019 and here." She showed with her fingers.

"Is the world really gonna end in six days?" Vanya asked from the other side of the hair salon.

Allison and Y/n stopped and froze for a second exchanging worried glances. Allison looked at the mirror at Y/n as the girl looked at Allison."Well, it did last time, and we did everything Five and Y/n could think of to stop it." Allison broke the gaze with her sister.

"Yeah, Five and I got stuck in the apocalypse in the future when we were just 13-years-old. We made a plan or something to keep us on track with the saving of the world. Believe me, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone." Y/n softly chuckled trying to make a joke of something so sad.

"Hey, wouldn't it be weird if Five grew up all hot?" Klaus stood up from the chair.

"Eww." Allison said in a disgusted tone.

"I mean, Y/n already saw him, all grown up." He pointed at her. "How was he, Y/n?"

Y/n's eyes went wide as Klaus asked that questions. Of course, Five grew up and became hot. So she decided to be honest.

"Oh, he grew up all hot. Really. But so did I." She chuckled. "And you, Allison, saying "Eww, eww" at that, when you had Luther as your lover when we were kids. And I'm sure you do too even now."

Klaus laughed at Y/n's idea she brought up since it was the perfect excuse to make fun of Allison. "Yeah! Exactly! "Oh, please, Luther was my love"." He made kissing sounds of them and Y/n laughed.

"We have never even kissed." Allison put her hand out.

"I doubt that." Y/n chuckled and Allison shot her a playful glare.

"Yeah, but you guys were making little sick moon-dog eyes at each other all through puberty and breakfasts and all that." Klaus still mocked Allison and Vanya turned around in her chair.

"Yeah, but so did Y/n and Five!" Allison pointed at the girl as she sat down in the same chair that Klaus sat in and put her legs up.

"At least we didn't hide it and weren't huge assholes to everyone else..." Y/n said the last part quieter.

"Aren't we all brothers and sisters, or..." Vanya sat up.

Klaus and Y/n snorted at that. It was weird now considering the fact that they kinda were.

"Well...technically, it-" Allison tried to explain but Klaus cut her off.

"Technically"? If you have to word...use the word "technically", you're already in trouble." He giggled looking back at his two other sisters which laughed.

Allison tried to bring everyone on the correct page where they were in the begining. "Okay, can...can we focus? I mean, clearly, we're not saving the world tonight, but maybe, we could at least try to save my marriage."

Klaus tried to pour some alcohol into his flask but poured it outside. "No! No, because that's like...that's like asking a nun how to hump someone's leg. I mean, who in this room knows shit about relationships? This one?" Klaus pointed at Vanya. "In secret love with some farm Frau."

"Her name's Sissy." Vanya corrected him.

"Which is an improvement on her previous love interest, the serial killer." Klaus leaned in to Allison and Y/n's side in order for Vanya not to hear him but she still did.

"What?" Vanya's face changed from fun to really concerned she looked at her sisters but Allison just whispered a "later".

"This one..." He pointed at Y/n. "Fell in love with her brother, married him then divorced him because of some lie or some shit but now still feels love towards him."

"Oh, for god's sake-" Y/n rolled her eyes at that knowing that was true.

"Meanwhile, I'm carrying a torch...for a soldier, I haven't technically met yet, and Luther and Five are in love with their sisters." He pointed at Allison and Y/n.

"Okay, again, we are not biological." Allison tried to remind him since she still couldn't stand the fact that her and Luther were together while Y/n and Five don't hide it.

"Face it, the healthiest long-term relationship in this family was Five and Y/n's family with that mannequin." Klaus still continued.

Y/n scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Oh, come on!"

"The only thing the Umbrella Academy knows about love..." Klaus raised his flask as Allison crossed her eyes and laid down on her chair. "...is how to screw it up." Klaus finally concluded.

"Cheers." The three sisters said in unison.

The greatest bonding possible for the four of them.

"How do you guys deal with this?" Vanya asked as Klaus, Allison and Y/n drank up.

"What?" Allison gulped.

"I mean, all of it. The time travel, seeing the dead, the end of the world, the love heartbreaking." Vanya listed everything which may have sounded okay in her head but in real life it sounded weird.

"Well, I mean I get really high." Klaus sat down on some chair. "Allison...Allison...lies to herself." He whispered the last part to Vanya.

But Allison still heard him so she kicked the small chair on wheels she used to put her feet on towards him to which Y/n snickered. After that, she turned around in her chair to face the mirror.

"Y/n...Y/n probably gets laid by Five." Klaus whispered to Vanya once again.

But Y/n also heard and took a hairbrush from a nearby table and threw it at Klaus.

"Ow!" He whined as a reaction to that. "And you suppress all your emotions deep, deep down until you...blow shit up."

"Yeah, I'd really like to not do that anymore." Vanya looked away all sad and ashamed.

"Well, you've got six days, missy."

"What the hell are we supposed to do with six days?" Allison asked everyone looking at Klaus in the mirror.

"Party?" Klaus simply scoffed. "I don't know."

Vanya thought about it for a second before sitting up in her chair. "I'm gonna tell Sissy that I love her. I don't want any secrets."

Y/n looked down at her feet thinking about how even her sister who lost her memory in another timeline is being honest with the people she loves and her, who is completely fine, can't do that. Even if she was drunk, that never got away.

Allison threw a small hairbrush on the counter and stood up taking her drink. "Yeah. Yeah, yeah, you're right. Yes, 'cause, you know if...if it's all gonna go tits-up, the least I could do is be honest with my husband."

Y/n felt even worse. Now that Allison was going, to be honest, she wasn't just plain ridiculous and childish.

"Oh...does that mean I have to face my cult? I just hate group breakups." Klaus complained. "It's why I stopped dating twins."

Y/n sat up after that. "Hey, quick question: how do you tell somebody that you messed up but you're afraid that your relationship is just gonna get worse either way: if you tell and if you don't, it's the same?"

Allison looked at her confused since that was maybe too much for her drunk self. "Well, if that's the case, you should just at least be honest. Because honesty is key number one." She mocked a rule as old as time and chuckled, so did Y/n.
