"here we go, this will fix you up" Klaus tell Luther as he pours him some coffee that Five steals as soon as he enters the room.

After the huge bomb shell Five dropped last night, i had kinda been avoiding him.

"and hot chocolate for the lady" Klaus winks as he pours me a cup of hot chocolate.

"thanks" i smile at him as he does a sort of curtsy in return.

"Jesus. Who do i gotta kill to get a decent cup of coffee" Five complains as he discards the stolen coffee.

"can we get started please" Luther asks as he deals with a hangover for the first time and looks like he's going to drop dead right there.

"anyone seen any of the others? Diego? Allison? no?" Klaus asks as i shake my head at him, seeing no one else was going to reply "All right then, this is the closest thing to a quorum that we're gonna get" Klaus exclaims as he bangs something against the table, making Luther groan.

"now, listening up. There's no easy way to say this, so i'm just gonna spit it out, yeah" he doesn't say anything for a second, seeming to rethink his decision.

"Klaus"

"i conjured dad last night" he spits out as everyone goes quiet and looks at him in shock.

"you said you haven't been able to conjure anyone in years" Luther challenges.

"ah, yes, i know, but i'm sober ta-da!" he exclaims as i clap and smile proudly at him.

"i got clean, yesterday to talk to someone special and ended up having this conversation with dear old daddy himself" Klaus explains as Luther and Five don't seem to believe him.

"has anyone got some aspirin?"

"top shelf, next to the crackers"

"hey, hey, hey this is serious guys all right, this really happened" Klaus tries to get them to pay attention and listen to him.

"okay fine, i'll play along, what did the old man have to say?" Five asks as i hit him on the arm and scold him while he gives me an agitated look.

"well he gave me the usual lecture about my appearance and my failures in life. Yada yada yada. no surprise there, even the afterlife couldn't soften a hardass like dad, right? but he did mention something about his murder, or lack thereof because.....he killed himself"Klaus finishes as its silent before Luther drops his arm on the table.

"i don't have time for your games Klaus" Luther tells him, not believing him for one second.

"why can't you just believe him for once" i hiss at Luther as i stand next to Klaus and smile reassuringly at him, if they weren't gonna be there for him, i sure as hell will.

"why'd he do it then" Five questioned, waiting for proof of dads suicide.

"he said it was the only way to get us all home again" Klaus explains as Luther stands up abruptly.

"no, dad wouldn't just kill himself" Luther states in denial.

"you said it yourself he was depressed, holed up in his office and room all day and night"Five argues, starting to slightly believe Klaus.

"no there weren't any signs"

"how would you know if he showed any signs, you were on the moon for the last 4 years as you like to remind us" i grumble but he must of heard it as he glares at me.

"suicidal people exhibit certain tendencies, strange behaviors" Luther continues as he ignores my comment but Klaus has my back as he replies "like sending someone to the moon for no reason?"
