Tua fic idea where five gets amnesia when he travels to the apocalypse via head injury and after a while of aimlessly trying to survive in there the commission picks him up. Five grows up in the commission, no memory of his siblings, throws himself into his work, reveals in the attention it gets him
Then somehow, (I’m thinking via briefcase malfunction) he ends up in 2019. Again. No memory of his siblings, only his memory of working in the temp commission.
he spends the whole of s1 trying to get BACK to the commission, meanwhile the commission assumes he’s defected (although their unsure whether he’s recovered his memory).
Fives ALSO aware that he has to get back before the apocalypse happens but doesn’t know what causes it because the commission doesn’t trust him with that info.
Five still ends up in the court yard, and the siblings still all witness it. In this I think fives around 30, maybe a little younger.
Five sees them see him and is like, “shit. I’ve totally fucked up the timeline.” he initially tries to blend in with the time period (maybe even explain away the weird portal they see him come out of) but then they insist they know him and fives like, “ok these guys r weird. Also how do u know my name?”
I don’t think he tries to teleport away bc he knows obvi that people don’t just. Have Powers like that. until he realizes all the hargreeves have powers and then he uses his powers around them.
He, of course has a tracker still so the commission finds him. Which he’s incredibly relieved about until. They open fire on him. (Via standard beurocratic incompetence they assume hes defected, the agents don’t ask questions. It’s a threat to the apocalypse.)
Anyways via forced family bonding and a serious concern for wtf five doesn’t remember them, cue the un-brainwashing of a 1 five hargreeves and the apocalypse is averted orrr maybe just delayed.
