That HURT more than it should’ve. Maybe because it had a little bit of truth sprinkled in it. She knew it wasn’t an innocent question, it was a jab at her. But she had changed ( or so she hoped ) this time alone, and she wouldn’t fall for it this time. Five was important to her, as well as the rest of the siblings, and she didn’t want to fight anymore. It was hard enough to fight the END of the world. “ I don’t have a reputation anymore. So it doesn’t matter, I’ll just save their lives as I should. ” that’s what I was trained for is what got caught in her tongue.
Five wasn’t completely convinced of the sincerity behind her words. But he had noticed how Allison had changed since the last time he’d seen her. It wasn’t as drastic or apparent as when he had first appeared to proclaim the end of the world but it showed itself in more subtle ways. In how she spoke, in how she carried herself.
He’d last seen her less than a week ago. But for her, it had clearly been much longer. ( A concept Five was not unfamiliar with. )
“ Good . “ He says. Before, he hadn’t cared about their involvement. He’d convinced himself that it was better to do it all by himself, protect them without them realizing. But now he knows he had been wrong to push them away.
“ I believe you . “ A pause. “ How long has it been ? “
