1- We're canceling the apocalypse
The world ended.
Twice.
And both times, that wasn't quite right with Five Hargreeves. So he got back in time to change it, taking his family with him. They were, after all, the ones to blame for the long list of mistakes that culminated in their sister blowing up the moon. If Vanya was the bomb and Harold Jenkins was the fuse, Reginald Hargreaves was without a doubt the maker of the explosive. They had to do better this time and they had to do it together.
Time traveling was a messy business, more so when you were doing it in a rush and without the proper calculations. But they made it back in time to the morning of their father's funeral, in one piece against all odds, and after some trouble, their brother Ben was back with them.
His family was alive, hurt but whole.
Five gave a small smile before his eyes rolled back into his head and he promptly passed out from the effort, nose bleeding.
2 - (You Give Me) Fever, In the morning child, Fever all through the night
A few days later, the pain in his body had yet to subside and Five wondered if it could be a permanent effect of time traveling. You could only gamble with time so much until it started getting pissed off at you. His family was still dealing with the last week's events, either mourning, keeping to themselves or thinking about the future, but everything was relatively stress-free.
For the past 40 years, Five has never lived a single day that wasn't pressure-packed. And now, his body has decided that ey, this would be the perfect moment to crash. Bright lights made his eyes burn and increased his headaches, his throat hurt so much that he had stopped eating, his cheeks were constantly flushed and he felt hot a minute and freezing the next.
But the worse of all was that he sneezed.
Actually, the worst of all was that the sneezing made him space jump without intent or control. So far he had accidentally teleported himself to the basement, atop the kitchen's fridge, to the bar -knocking several bottles in the process-, to their mother's lap while she was sitting in front of the paintings, and into the bathtub.
The alarmed and frustrated shriek that Five gave out could be heard all around the house after a sneeze had teleported him to the chandelier, leaving him holding onto it for dear life several feet above the ground.
3- Another One Bites The Dust
When tiredness got too much or he had accidentally teleported himself somewhere, Five gave up and slept. Never in his room, if he could avoid it. He hadn't used it for decades and it was a reminder of the life he had lost, filled with books and toys and memories of a lost innocence that felt unpleasant.
Vanya's room was spartan and clean in all ways Klaus' wasn't but both reflected their owners and brought Five a sense of comfort, familiarity. Allison's bed was the comfiest, a soft mattress and softer pillows, while Luther had the biggest one. Five liked to curl into a ball in the middle of it and let himself feel small for once.
Diego and Ben's rooms hadn't been used in some time but Grace made sure to keep them both clean and they had signs of his sibling's personalities all over the place. A peaceful sleep still didn't come easy, though, with the fever only making his usual nightmares worse.

"I can't promise anything..." The boy murmured, too softly for Ben to hear, he realized a moment later. Instead of repeating himself, Five didn't want to risk raising his voice, any loud sound caused pain, he made a movement with his hand and gave Ben a brief thumbs up. He was going to be...not fine, but probably not fall either.

"Yeah, well, be careful." He said and took off running. Thankfully the hall way chandler wasn't all that high up there, so one, a fall from it wouldn't kill him, and two, the tall ladder should be enough.
he found it in the tool storage near the kitchen. Used to change lights on the chandler anyhow. He'd done the job before when he was smaller, though normally someone was there to hold the ladder.
"I got it Five. Still there?" He called as he brought the ladder in and started to open it up, spreading the wide legs and locking them in place.

It scared him as much as it pissed him off, he didn't like feeling this vulnerable, even around people he trusted. When Ben got his attention again, he looked down and immediately blanched, dizziness making him close his eyes firmly. Oookay...this was going to be tricky.
"No, this is you hallucinating me." He managed a dry reply followed by a brief smile and a thankful look towards Ben. After a deep breath, he shifted his posture and tried to get down on the leader, only to get dizzy again midway.
