Chapter 28

Well, i made everything else, so I must've made you."

Klaus laughs.

"Why?" The girl asks. "Do you have another idea?"

"Maybe, a couple," Klaus replies. "I don't know."

"Well, then, keep them to yourself," She says. "Time is flying, so hurry up. He's waiting for you."

"Who is?"

She points to a certain direction.

"Dave," Klaus says before gasping. He runs to the house. "Dave! Dave!"

He enters the house, which was revealed to be a barber. "Dave?" He asks as a man talks from the radio.

He sits on a chair and someone covers his neck and collarbone area with a cloth. Klaus goes with the flow, not fighting as he believed that this was his Dave. They begin to wrap his head with a smaller cloth.

"Oh. Oh! Oh, yeah. That feels so nice," Klaus comments.

"What in God's name took you so long?" An angry Reginald asked, snapping Klaus out of his mood.

"Dad," He greets, taking the cloth off his head.

"I expected my son who can conjure the dead to have brought me forth days ago," He lectures.

"Oh. Yeah, well, you see... It's complicated," Klaus says. You know, I... I tried. I..." He spits when the shaving foam got into his mouth. "... did, but..."

"You were poisoning yourself."

"Well, what do you expect?" Klaus asks. "You'd just died. I was beside myself with gried."

"Don't you dare try to use me as an excuse for your weakness."

"Oh, rightm well, yeah, you had nothing to do with it," Klaus says sarcastically. "Locking me in a mausoleum with corpses when I was 13? No, you're right, it's irrelevant."

Reginald sighs, approaching Klaus with the shaving blade.

"Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah. Careful, Dad."

"Don't worry, you're already dead," Reginald responds.

"Oh, well, that's a relief."

"You children like to blame everything on me."

"Well, you were a sadistic prick. Not to mention the world's worst father," Klays replies.

"I just wanted you to live up to your potential," Reginald defends. "You especially. You're my greatest disappointment, Number Four. You only scratched the surface of what you were truly capable of. If only you'd focused."

"Wait, wait, wait," Klaus says. "What... What potential?"

"No, instead, you pump yourself full of poison because you're afraid."

Klaus sighs.

"Afraid of what? The dark?"

"You know, I suggest you get down off your high horse there, dear Papa," Klaus says. "You neber had our best interests at heart. Look at your precious Number One. Luther found all the unopened letters he's sent you. He knows that you sent him up to the Moon for nothing."

"That was foolish of me," Reginald admits. "I should have burned it all," He sighs.

Klaus laughs. "That's your takeaway?" He asks. "Oh, wow. Yeah, course it is."

"Not an ideal solution, I confess."

Klaus sighs again.

"But I knew that the world would soon need him, need all of you," Reginald says. "And I had to do what was necessary. Is he okay?"

"Do you care?" Klaus asks.

"Everything I did, everything I put you through, ir was to prepare you, all of you, for something bigger than yourselves. You never understood that."

Klaus sighs. "We were... we were just kids. Little kids."

"You were never just kids," Reginald argues. "You were meant to save the world."

"Wait, wait," Klaus says. "So you knew... knew all about this? About the apocalypse?"

"I knew that I had to bring you all back together, one way or another. The fate of the world depended on it."

"Wh... What? What are you saying?"

"The only way to get you all back together was something... momentous."

"Wait. You... No. You don't mean... you killed yourself?" Klaus asks.

Reginald hums out a 'yes.'

Klaus sighs. "Oh, Christ, you could never do things the easy way, could you?"He asks. "You couldn't have picked up a phone?"

"Would you have answered?" Reginald asks in response. "Now, listen to me, Number Four. What I'm about to say is of great importan..."

Reginald's voice was turning back into a mere echo as the techno music continued.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no," Klaus says. "I can't... No, I can't... I can't go back! No! Wait! Stay!" He woke up in the middle of the dance floor.

He stands up, met by judging glares.

"Who does this guy think he is?"

"I don't know..."

"Luther! Luther. Luther!" Klaus calls out.

"Bouncers kicked him out," A man tells him.

Timeskip

Vanya and Leonard leave the place where they had dinner.

Leonard laughs. "No, I know it wasn't much. It... It's good, though."

"No, it was delicious," Vanya says.

"Yes."

"It was nice to have some downtime."

Some men laugh, using Leonard's car as their table.

"Fellas," Leonard says. "Good evening," He chuckles. "We're... We're heading out, so if you don't mind..."

"I'm actually pretty comfortable," One says before turning to his friend. "You comfortable?"

"Oh, I'm just peachy," His friend replies. "Thanks for asking."

Leonard chuckles. "You guys are funny. Uh, I'm sure you can find another car to drink your beer on."

The man chucks his beer at Leonard's windscreen.

"Ah..."

"We like this one," The stranger insists. "But, if you want, we'll trade you the car for the girl."

"Okay, get off the car and leave us alone," Vanya says, walking past them.

"No problem!" The leader says, lightly smacking Vanya's butt.

"Hey, don't touch her!" Leonard yells.

"You gonna do something about it, sweetheart?" The leader asks before punching Leonard.

"Hey! No!" Vanya yells as the second guy holds her back.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa."

Leonard is held up by the third guy as the leader takes swings at him constantly.

"Leonard!" Vanya yells. "Stop it!" She screams as the thunder rumbles. "Leave him alone! Stop it! No!"

"Come on, you piece of shit," The leader says as the three guys attack Leonard together.

"Help!"

She walks to them before a force bursts out of her, causing all the three men to be pushed back by the invisible force.

"Leonard! Help! Help! Help!"
