Seeing This Kid Tense And Start To Really Examine Him Made Five Tense In Return. Eyes Narrowed, Following

Seeing this kid tense and start to really examine him made Five tense in return. Eyes narrowed, following his gaze down to the crest on the jacket of his uniform. The Latin mantra of the Umbrella Academy was about as ridiculous as it sounded. They had figured it was their father’s strange sense of humor, but maybe he just liked to keep things seriously on brand. And umbrellas were his motif. 

Five shifted his shoulder back almost defensively, as if the observation of the crest and how the boy seemed to focus on it bothered him. It was taking away from the conversation when all he needed was answers. But, the answers that did come at last just yielded more questions. 

“You’re Ben,” Five repeated, giving a slow nod, “But you’re not Ben. Shit, I knew that had to be too easy,” he reached up to scratch at the back of his head, glancing back behind himself briefly. His only lead was a bust. Trying to find the others could take way more time than they had. Time would move quickly and they really didn’t want to waste any of it. He rocked back on his heels, anxiously wanting to move on and start over again, but the train of thought brought him back once more to Ben, this other Ben. 

Five turned quickly back to Ben, the serious look on his face as he narrowed his eyes slightly, “I’ll answer whatever questions you want, but I need you to answer some of mine. We don’t have as much time as I would like, so we need to move quickly. First off, what is the date? The exact date today?”

I just think that Five should have a pocketwatch in the show

The tower was certainly a spectacle on its own, and not one that Five could fully remember seeing before. But, he chalked that up to skewed memories of a childhood tainted by crime fighting and strict training. It wasn't like the Umbrella Academy kids were allowed to really go anywhere on their own. The first time Five really took the time to slow down and look around wasn't until everything had been destroyed... A future he still hopes he can prevent.

His attention returned to the door once it opened, and immediately the doubt started to set in. This... Kid, for lack of a better term, was certainly not the brother he was looking for - any of them really. But, there was still a chance. Maybe they just lived in the same building.

"Well, I certainly hope not," Five forced a pleasant smile, tucking his hands into the pockets of his shorts, looking up slightly at the boy in front of him, "I'm looking for Ben, actually. I understand I might find him here. It's... A family matter." The sinking feeling in his stomach only started to grow the more he spoke. Something wasn't right, but he couldn't place it just yet.

dude trust me *lying, manipulating*

Five busied himself looking around as he followed Ben, a fascination and curiosity popping up once his eyes searched around the workshop. After spending so long without any technology, it was almost like whiplash to step in here and see so much of it. Even growing up at the academy, there was hardly anything up to date, Reginald liked things to stay simple, he guessed. But this - this was the future. Well, it would be anyway if it weren’t for the apocalypse coming. He had to wonder what kind of world would be built if the world wasn’t going to end and all of this technology was allowed to flourish. 

“Research and Development? Of what exactly?” The question was sort of skeptical, but offered up as if he were just thinking out loud. He lingered close to the pieces and half finished projects, looking them over with a gentle touch. “Certainly seems like you keep busy in here -” turning back to give his attention back to Ben, his eyes fell briefly on the blueprint. He stared for only a second before turning to step back closer. 

Five nodded as he listened to his story, but his face twisted slightly into one of confusion and fascination, “He came for you - so you are like us then?” he exhaled a sharp breath like a scoff, “Smart move denying it. It’s just as shitty as you might imagine.”

It was almost interesting to hear how someone on the outside might have viewed them, at least apart from the admirers they’d had since they went public. Ben was almost one of them, but he could see how ridiculous trying to be a hero was as well. Five took a breath and just let it out as a sigh, “I was number five. Reginald Hargreeves only ever referred to us by number, like the great father he is,” the disdain was clear in his tone as he scrunched his nose with the words, “Problem is, I got stuck in the future with no way back. It’s 2007... That means I’ve been missing for five years roughly from this timeline. Give or take a bit.”

He crossed his arms over his chest, taking a step to the side to begin to pace in front of Ben, “I was supposed to land in 2019, not here... I don’t understand how the calculation went so wrong. But - at least this way theres more time,” he started to rub at his neck, looking ahead in his stride. Turning back in his pace, he looked up to Ben again, “Do you know anything about the Umbrella’s in your present time? I assume they’re still fighting crime.”
