The Talk With A Chimp

                                    

                                          
You, Five and Pogo are sat on the table. You sat on the inner side next to Five as he is sat right across from Pogo. Tammy standing behind you. You raise an eyebrow at her stance but your skin immediately gets goosebumps as you hear the familiar sound of two pistols cocking. One under the table being held by Pogo aiming at Five and the other being held by Tammy aiming at you...your head. Five places a hand on your thigh slowly caressing the skin which calms you down as he is unfazed by the guns being aimed at the you both
"You're either dumb or desperate. Which is it?" Pogo questions leaning back in his seat one hand holding a shot glass with whiskey and the other holding a pistol under the table pointed to Five
"You tell me" Five replies slapping the slab of skin he cut off his 100 yr old self onto the table making you grimace at the sight of this again
"Gross" you mutter under your breath
"That looks like my work, but I never did that tattoo" Pogo mutters picking up and observing the tattoo before throwing it back onto the table
"Not yet, you haven't. I cut it off my 100-year-old self." Five mumbles in a deep voice 
"Ah, so desperate it is" Pogo says with a smug smile
"You would be too if you knew the entire universe were at stake" You chip in with a serious expression looking at Pogo. He inhales sharply while looking at you
"So it's happened" Pogo sighs as he de-clocks his pistol, Tammy following his action as she goes to sit behind us at the back of the Caravan to read her book. You let out a sigh of relief that they're no longer pointing the guns at you but Five continues to keep his hand on your thigh. Pogo hums and gets out a book opening it to a page
"Hm" You hum 
"Ah, here it is. Look familiar? Reggie was obsessed with these symbols. It's a sigil. A symbol thought to have magical powers." Pogo explains as Five places his skin onto the book comparing the tattoos 
"Dad believed in science, facts. I didn't respect much about the old man, but I respected that. Hoo-ha was not his thing. It's gotta have a rational meaning" Five snaps a bit not believing Pogo
"I believe it may have magical powers" You blurt out leaning back in the seat as the two look at you
"It doesn't make sen—" Five tries 
"Neither do we, you have powers to time travel, I can manipulate blood. We aren't normal" You shrug and Five hums 
"I don't know, but he referred to it as project Oblivion" Pogo exclaims making you and Five look at each other with wide eyes remembering the scene back in the Commission 
"This project. I need to know more" You and Five say in union as you sit up in your seat
~☂️~
"It was a kamikaze mission. He was preparing you, and the rest of your family, Y/n... with the expectation they might never return" Pogo starts to explain and your eyes widen
"He tried to kill us?" You question 
"Sort of...however...you, he wants you alive but close to death. He said he needs you in a state close to death for it to work" Pogo answers as you raise an eyebrow
