"Let's start simple. His name", Five said as he was standing beside Diego, a hand tucked in his pocket, peaking over Diego's shoulder looking at the phone book.
"Hargreeves... Hargreeves... Hargreeves...". Diego was scanning the "H" column quickly.
"Shit, nothing here", Diego said.
"Try his company, D.S. Umbrella Manufacturing Co", Five said as Diego gave him a long glare.
"Yeah, I know the name. Thanks", he said.
"Oh my God! Can't you both just stop fighting like a sixty-year-old married couple for once and actually do something productive?", Y/n asked making the boys like at her with weird faces.
"Y/n-", Diego was cut off. "The address. Please, Diego", Y/n said as he started scanning the pages again.
"Holy shit. "D.S. Umbrella." Eighty-two Olive. Let's go", he closed the book as they started walking out only to meet up with Elliot's muffling and groans.
"He okay to leave here like that?", Diego asked. "Yeah, he's fine". Five said.
"I don't think so. He isn't going to do anything, Five", Y/n said.
"Okay... We deal with him after we see dad, alright?", he placed a hand on her cheek making her sigh.
"But Five-", she was cut off.
"Please... We can't take any risks", he whispered as she slowly nodded but mentally she was mapping what to do.
"What about the girl?", Five asked. "Oh right. Lila?", Y/n added.
"Shit", Diego walked back in as Y/n held onto Five's hand. "You okay?", he asked.
"I am tired... I want to take a nice nap", Y/n said.
"Once we are done with this meeting... I promise I will be right by your side and you can sleep as much as you want", Five said.
"That seems like a really nice idea", she yawned a bit making him chuckle.
"Are you okay?", Five asked making Y/n look at him confused.
"Why would I not be okay, Five?", she asked smiling a bit.
"I don't know... Ever since I found out about the baby... it's been weird... I am worried about you", he said.
"When are you not?", she asked as he pecked gently.
"That's true... Just more so now", Five said.
"Well... Don't worry too much. I am perfectly alright and with you by my side... it's going great... You are all I need for being okay", she said.
"And you call me cheesy...", he smiled a bit.
"Are you blushing?", Five asked making her gulp. "N-no", she mumbled.
"You are?! It has been a while since I saw your flushed cheeks", he teased her.
"Stop it, Five!".

"D.S. Umbrella". This is it", Diego said as they were finally at their long awaited destination.

Five and Diego started walking out as Y/n slowly got out of the car but she hesitated stopping in her tracks. So did Five.
"You both okay?", Diego asked. "Yeah, fine. Just...", Five sighed.
"Y/n?", Diego called her name as Five turned around looking at her.
"How about... I just stay here? You both can go check it out", Y/n said leaning against the car.
"Hey... You aren't staying back alone... Come on", Diego said as knelt down to the level of the lock and trying to break the lock to open the door.
Five walked closer to Y/n and slowly grabbed her hand.
"I know how you feel right no. Trust me... I feel exactly the same", Five said.
"I... I feel like I am not ready to... face him like that... I just have so many questions, Five", she whispered as he placed his hand on her cheek and caressed it ever so gently.
"We will find all the answers you want, darling. But I need you by my side right now. Please. I don't want to do this alone", he whispered pecking her forehead.
"Okay...", she took a deep breath as they walked closer to the door.
"How long's it been since you've seen the old man?", Diego asked.
"Twenty three years", Y/n said. "That's a trip", Diego said.
"No kidding", Five sighed leaning his back against the door.
"You know, when I was stuck out there in the apocalypse there wasn't a day that went by where I didn't hear his voice in my head. Especially when I used to see Y/n all scared and especially when she got sick", Five said.
"What was he saying?", Diego asked.
"I told you so", Five said as Y/n caressed the back of his palm.
"Well, if Dad's here, he's never met you before, so he can't say, "I told you so", Diego reassured.
"That won't stop him really", Y/n mumbled as Five nodded in complete agreement.
"I'm sure he'll find a way", Five said.
He looked at Diego struggling to break in as he finally sighed, teleporting to the other side of the door and unlocking it from the inside. He opened the door as Diego realized Five's powers.
"Right. Gotta remember that", he walked in as Five kept holding the door.
"Get in", Y/n said. "After you, princess", he said.
"Princess... It's been a while since I have heard you say that", she said.
"My bad... After you, my lady", he bowed a bit making her smile.
"Silly", she mumbled walking in as Five followed.

Entering the dark and dusty room, the trio looked around in confusion.
Five walked closer to the lamp and tried fixing the bulb which lit up for a moment or two but then gave up.
"Shit", Five exclaimed at the condition of this place.
"Guess dad wasn't much for home decor", Diego said as Five patted the cushion on the couch only to see small dust smokes rising up.
"Decor... I would say he had zero maintenance", Y/n coughed a bit looking around.
"Feels more like a front", Five said. "A front... for what?", Diego questioned.
"I don't know", Five replied as they turned around to face two doors.
One on the right side and other on the left.
"Well, I'll take the left. Yell if you, uh... get in trouble", Diego said.
"I am getting a major deja vu", Y/n said. "Stop it", Diego mumbled.
"The last time we split up... we ended up in a weird situation... Shouldn't we stick around together?", Y/n asked.
"Don't worry... I can handle myself... I am sure you both can as well", Diego said walking away.
"It' just you and me again, huh?", Five said.
"I don't mind... Lead the way, dear husband", she patted his back as he opened the door and they started walking in completely alert and aware.
"This is a very creepy hallway", Y/n mumbled. "I guess that is the point", Five said.
"The doors are all locked", she said as Five tried opening the door but it didn't.
Moving ahead, they found another door which was unlocked this time.
"Stay behind me", he whispered as he slowly opened the door and turned the light switch on.
"Oh my God!", she whisper yelled startled from seeing the mannequins inside.
Five looked back at her as she saw her left hand resting on her chest, probably from the sudden fright she got.
"You okay?", he asked. "I guess so...", she breathed out.
"What is he up to?", Five mumbled softly.
Looking around, they say that the mannequins were seated in a family like setting of a normal house living room.
"This is just insane... This is crazy!", she mumbled.
"It's like... a fake family or something?", Five said unsure.
"Five... we came here for answers... I think all we are getting more questions instead", she said.
"That you are right about", he said.
"Let's check the office", Y/n said.

Rummaging through the mail and letters, Five finally came across one envelope with an invitation.

"That's tomorrow... We can find him there", Y/n said as Five nodded folding the envelope and putting it in his pocket.
Before they could do anything else, they were interrupted by the sound of a metal object falling down.
"Do you think he is here?", Y/n asked.
"Wouldn't be surprised if he was", Five said as they quietly went to the room where the sound came from.
They were walking very very quietly making sure not to get any attention.
Y/n looked around to see a similar set up as the previous room with a cot and some crayon drawings in this room.
"Is this a nursery or something?", she asked. "Could be", Five replied.
Y/n looked at the right corner of the room from where she could hear little squeaking sound.
"Pogo?", Y/n mumbled. "What?", Five asked. "The board here says "Pogo", Y/n pointed at the name written on the board.
"Hi", Five mumbled as the tiny creature making those tiny voices finally came in view.
"Pogo", Five whispered.
"Hey... It's all right, little buddy", Five said so softly which made Y/n awe at his voice a bit.
Five slowly walked closer kneeling down on his knees in front of the baby chimpanzee.
Y/n placed her hand on Five's shoulder as she moved closer as well.
"Hey Pogo... It's alright, little one... There there", she whispered softly as Pogo approached them as well.
"Pogo. It's good to see you", Five smiled a bit moving his hand closer to Pogo's face only for the chimpanzee who screech and scratch Five's neck running away breaking through the glass window.
"Five! Oh my God! Are you okay?", she quickly knelt down beside him as he nodded his head a bit holding onto his neck.
"Diego! Diego!", Five shouted his name as Y/n grabbed his hand helping him up.
"Wait!", she grabbed his hand as she took out a tissue and placed it on his neck.
"You carry these things with you all the time?", Five asked.
"Force of habit... Let's look for Diego", she said as they went to the other side to find Diego but he was nowhere to be seen.
"Where the hell did he go?", Five asked. "We should look a bit more... Diego isn't one to bail out".
