Grace Hargreeves

I know I haven’t been around much this week, and for that I am terribly sorry. I have a damaged back that sometimes gives me chronic pain, and it’s been in really bad shape these past few days, making it difficult to sit for very long at a computer. I’m sorry, I promise to get back into my drafts as soon as the pain lessens. 

Five finished up making his coffee and took a sip, turning to look at Mom as she started speaking again. It was a bit of a surprise question but it did made him realise Mom had no idea where or when he’d gone once he’d left, only that he’d been gone on an ‘adventure’. 

“I found a bag in the apocalypse, used it until it went dry but the supplies were limited. I had to ration any other bags I found over the years. I guess I only started drinking it properly once I was recruited by the commission. Then it became necessary to keep me awake on long missions.” He replied, wondering if Mom was going to question any of that or just accept it as fact. 

In the Apocalypse.

        Grace blinks, the only indication of her surprise. From the very beginning, Sir Reginald has written into her programming an expectation of the End Times, supplemental information to the Children’s education and training. That it has come to pass so soon (and she didn’t know? And Number Five has seen it?) is Grace’s only confusion. 

        “....I see...” She says after a pause, organizing the data through her processers and calculating whether to ask for more information. “...How many years, then? As many as you were gone?” (Timestamp >> seventeen years, four months, thirteen days, six hours, twenty-five minutes... ) The way Five describes it, Grace can’t help but think it might have been longer... 

Grace: I’m not going to be mad, just tell me why you have fake ID’s.

Diego and Klaus: [incoherent mumbling]

Grace: What?

Diego: You have to be over 18 to hold the puppies at petco
