I don't have the brain power to deal with everything that is going on in this house.

I just want to know are we seriously out of coffee?!

Comments

[He opened to elaborate on what he meant about the Apocalypse comment, but her question catches him off guard. Hadn't there been times as kids when they had cuddled together? So he feels the question holds significance to perhaps a conversation they might have had that he has up and forgotten. Lightly he shakes his head with an apologetic look on his face.]

I'm sorry, Rey. I would just be guessing if I tried to answer that.

[ He can't help but lean forward, while placing his hands on the table. ]

Just how many talks have we had since we stopped the Apocalypse?

[Rey focused on Five further. His mannerisms, his emotions, his facial expressions. Everything. Everything about him was coming back as correct. Nothing seemed like it was amiss. So then...what was going on with his memories?]

We've had many talks. But...

[She took a deep breath, leaning back and drew her power inward while rising her mental shields up once more.]

From an empath standpoint, you're fine. I didn't sense any trauma, anything that could cause even a slight tremor of a slip-up.

[She pauses for a moment, bringing a hand up to cup her chin, thinking...]

It's like you can't remember it because you didn't experience it? Or haven't experienced it yet?

[So, long and short of it, he's not going crazy. He's seemingly fine, but there isn't anything she can sense that could be affecting him.]

[oldmanfive]

[While there is a part of him that is relieved that she's not sensing anything...nefarious about his missing memories. It still bothers him to not know definitively what is going.

Though at her last observations, he found himself frowning. Could it have been possible that he botched a jump and ended up ahead in time again? Though thankfully this time there was no Apocalypse to be stranded in. He sighed heavily as he raked a hand through his hair in a frustration once more.]

So basically I probably fucked up another equation and ended up ahead of myself for some reason.

[ Quantum Physics was a bitch! ]

[It's bothering both of them. After all the shit they've gone through, it was frustrating to have a semblance of peace only to have a fucking hiccup happen. Why in the world did they not have another sibling that could... see into the future? Or have another variation of time travel?

Well, they needed to figure it out, but for now Rey was wishing the house still had something (coffee or alcohol, or both) for Five.]

Or...maybe there was an outside factor--something or someone that's not the commission that decided to send you back? [God? Fates? A deity they never fucking heard of that decided to fuck with them?

Honestly, it wouldn't be the strangest thing yet.]

We'll figure it out, Five. [Together. He wasn't in this alone.]

[oldmanfive]

[ At this point, while he knew he promised to wait for Evie, he's seriously considering blinking away to procure himself some liquor because at this point, he needs something stronger than coffee.

He leans back in his chair for a moment, before grabbing his phone off the table and pocketing it.]

Right now there are too many questions for my liking.

[Truly he hates this feeling of vulnerability that this whole situation seems to be highlighting right now. He knows Rey means what she says, heck he trusts her more than many of his other siblings, but there is a part of him that doesn't want her to have to deal with this too.]

Whatever is going on, we aren't figuring it out today. I just need some time alone now.

[He gives her an apologetic smile before he suddenly blinks away. ]
