"𝐒𝐎, 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐖𝐄 𝐃𝐎 𝐍𝐎𝐖, 𝐇𝐔𝐇?"Y/n looked at the moon and back at Five who was walking and staring at the ground.

They were walking down the dark and cold night sidewalk after they just left Delores. Y/n was on Five's left and he was on her right.

"Honestly, I have no idea." The pair chuckled."Maybe we should..."Five looked around them at the streets that were not crumbled."...try to live a normal life."

"What do you mean?"

Five thought about how to put his answer together for a couple of seconds."I mean, we lived in the apocalypse for our whole lives and we actually have a chance to live a casual and simple life the others lived. We do deserve it tho..."

Y/n looked at the ground and her feet. He was right. They lived such a hard-ass life that the fact that they can get a normal setting for once, is completely normal.

"You're not wrong." The girl chuckled.

Five smiled slightly at her reply. They continued to walk in silence just enjoying the silent and cold night. Until Five stepped on a newspaper on the ground. He looked at what was under his feet and picked it up.

He then noticed that the date that they found in the apocalypse, hasn't changed. Five just went through the newspaper and Y/n just watched in confusion. He went through the pages like something was off.

"Is something wrong?"

"We have to get to the academy. Stat."

He took her right hand and began dragging and running with her towards the mansion. But Y/n didn't understand anything that was happening.

"Five, what is it?"

"Listen, the apocalypse is still on and-" Five tried to explain while running and holding Y/n's hand tightly.

"What? What do you mean-"

"Listen..."Five stopped the running and took her by her shoulders."...the date hasn't changed since the day we found the newspaper in the apocalypse. It only means one thing and that is-"

"That the end of the world is today?" She finished his sentence with a question and he nodded."Let's go."

They ran to the academy but when they came back, it was all in shambles. All of the siblings were there, looking at what was left there. All of them were walking around the shattered academy bricks until Y/n and Five ran up to them.

"Guys!" Five yelled as they walked towards them jumping on the bricks. The siblings turned around and looked at them just in shock and thinking what is he going to say when they already lost so much.

"This is it. The apocalypse is still on. The world ends today." Y/n explained.

"I thought you said it was over." Luther scoffed at that warning.

"We were wrong, ok?" Five came closer to Luther clutching the newspaper in his hand."This newspaper, we found it in the future the day we got stuck. The headline hasn't changed."

"No, that doesn't mean anything." Diego shook his head in denial while sitting on the bricks."The time could have been altered since that newspaper came out this morning."

"You're not listening to us." Y/n put her hands in the air."When we found it, we assumed this place came down along with everything else." Y/n then looked and pointed at the moon."But here we are. The moon's still shining, the earth is in one peace, but not the academy."

Then Klaus snatched the newspaper from Five's hand."I'm confused." He walked back to his place reading the newspaper.

"Then listen to us, you idiot!" Five yelled out of frustration. Y/n thought about saying something, but she was just as frustrated as him at this point."Vanya destroys the academy before the apocalypse, we thought Harold Jenkins was the cause, but he was the fuse. Vanya is the bomb. Vanya causes the apocalypse."

After Five explained everything so that it was completely obvious for everyone, they heard helicopter blades whirring above them. The sirens started wailing but nobody was triggered.

"We have to find her," Luther stated the self-explanatory once again.

But shortly after that, lights were shining over their heads and at them. And then they noticed that. So Diego stood up and put his hand over his eyes to shield him from the bright lights. And Luther stepped into his Number One role.

"We gotta go, now. Regroup at the superstar go!"

Everyone ran for themselves while Five took Y/n's hand and teleported them to the right location.

"𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊, 𝐈 𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐀𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒, but everyone needs to prepare." Luther started as everyone else sat around thinking of how to stop this madness.

Luther and Allison were sitting on one of the pair of chairs, so were Diego and Klaus across them, and Five with Y/n was sitting in the middle.

"For what?" Diego asked angry and frustrated.

"To do whatever it takes to stop Vanya." Luther answered and Allison is him in the chest with her notebook to show that it was a ridiculous suggestion."I-we may not have a choice, Allison."

"Bullshit. There are always options." Diego protested.

"Yeah, like what?" Five sarcastically asked Diego. But since Diego's answer to Luther's statement was stupid, Diego just sat there in silence for a couple of seconds.

"I don't know."

But Luther was already annoyed by this nonsense so he stood up and continued talking.

"Look, whatever we decide, we need to find Vanya. And fast, ok? She could be anywhere."

At the same time that Luther was talking, Klaus was reading a newspaper and he came across an advertisement for Vanya's violin concert.

"Or...here."

Klaus motioned for everybody to come so he came closer to Five while Luther and Allison walked and Diego leaned in to read it.

"That's right. Her concert is tonight." Diego said.

"Hello." A female voice was heard from behind the group so Diego and Luther looked up while Klaus, Five, and Y/n didn't. Meanwhile, Allison was writing something in her notebook. "I hate to intrude, but my manager says if you're not gonna bowl, you gotta leave."

The woman left and her manager loudly put a pair of bowling shoes on the counter, signaling that they needed to bowl.

"Whose turn is it?" Diego turned back to the others.

"Oh, for..."Luther picked up a bowling ball and threw it across the lanes while knocking all of the pins out.

But then Allison showed her note on her notebook. It read "She's our sister".

"We're the only ones capable of stopping this." Luther looked at Allison's note and replied.

Five and Y/n exchanged a look that said something like "We don't have time for this".

"We have a responsibility to dad." Luther dropped that bomb and Diego had enough of him.

"To dad? No, I've heard enough about-"

"He sacrificed everything to bring us back together." Luther protested.

"I'm with Luther on this one." Five intervened. Y/n looked at him with a weirded-out look.

"Wait, what? Are you serious right now?" She scoffed and crossed her arms sitting up on her chair.

"Well, yes, Y/n, we can't give her a chance to fight back. There are billions of lives at stake. We're past trying to save just one." He told her thinking he was telling her the completely obvious.

Y/n stood up to get everyone's attention."If you seriously believe that we are going to have to do anything to stop Vanya's plan, and that counts as even killing her, then you have some serious issues." She looked around at everyone while talking.

"Listen, Y/n, we have to do that. It's either that or everyone and everything dies in just a matter of hours." Luther looked around.

"Hey, you know, guys, uh...maybe I could help." Klaus interrupted and everyone turned to him.

"Now is not the time." Luther wanted to cancel his speech.

"No, let him finish." Diego protested and Luther just squinted his eyes in confusion."He saved my life today."

"Really?" Ben glared at him. Klaus turned around to look at him with his hands on his sides, not knowing how to break that news to the family.

"Is that true?" Luther asked not believing that could be even remotely true.

"Yeah, yeah, I did..."Klaus looked at Ben."...take credit for it. In fact the real hero...was Ben."

Everyone just stared at him with two thoughts circulating in their head:

One, there was no way that Klaus could conjure Ben since he said that he wasn't able to conjure anyone in years. So he was just asking for some recognition or attention.

And two, it was kind of amazing even if it was not entirely true. I mean, they missed their brother so bad and the fact that he might be here still with them is...extraordinary.

"Today..."Klaus sighed."...Listen.Today, he punched me in the face. And earlier at the house, he was the one who saved Diego's life, not me." Klaus pointed at Diego.

"You are unbelievable, Klaus." Luther rolled his eyes.

"You want proof, is that it? All right. I-I'll give you proof." Klaus picked up a bowling ball and got ready to throw it."It's showtime, baby! Catch!"Klaus threw the ball but it just went right through Ben's invisible body. Ben slowly looked at Klaus with disappointment and Klaus put his hands on his head. The ball continued to bounce and bounced away from the group.

"Is there any way to silence that voice in your head that screams to be in the center of attention?" Luther said through gritted teeth.

"You know, I liked you a lot better before you got laid." Klaus turned to him.

Luther's eyes went wide not knowing how to react to that statement. Allison also looked at Klaus with a "He got what?" look.

"Which was complete...it-it wasn't his fault, 'cause he was ridiculously high, right? And-and the girl, she thought he was a furry..." Klaus babbled something while everyone just stared at him in disbelief.

"Stop!" Luther yelled with his eyes closed out of anger.

"Okay." Klaus scratched his head in awkwardness.

Luther turned to Allison but if she could scoff, she would definitely do that. But she couldn't so she just grinned a look that said something like "Unbelievable" and walked away.

"Allison, wait." Luther ran out with Allison leaving Five, Y/n, Diego, and Klaus alone. But shortly after Allison and Luther left, a woman with her son came to Five and Y/n.

"Excuse me?" The woman walked with hugging her son who had a bowling ball in his hands. When Five and Y/n turned to them, she continued talking."Excuse me, it's my son Kenny's birthday today, and...uh...wouldn't your kids be happier playing with kids their age? Assuming it's okay with your two dads."

Klaus and Diego turned to the woman in exhaustion and disbelief. Five and Y/n exchanged a glance and Five went for it.

"I would rather chew off my own foot."

The woman's smile instantly was gone and she looked at Y/n for some support or something.

"I'm gonna have to agree with him." She smiled sarcastically and rolled her eyes.

The woman walked away, but Five and Y/n heard a whooshing and a clunk sound somewhere near. They looked at each other already knowing who is doing something. They stood up and walked over to the bowling balls and Five opened a funnel.

And they were right. It was The Handler. She contacted them via pneumatic tubes even here. The tube had a sticker that said their names.

"How the hell did she find us?" Five asked.

Then Y/n got a flashback of the candy they took from the woman a couple of days before while they were at the commission. She took some out of her pocket and pulled out the wrapper. And, sure enough, there was a tracking device.

Five saw what she did and he did it too. He took the wrappers from his shorts' pocket and unwrapped them.

Five and Y/n held up those trackers and looked at each other.

"She's good." Five murmured.

"Not bad." Y/n agreed.

But then they both threw those trackers on the ground smashing them with their feet. The green light stopped blinking and they were broken.

Five then twisted the lid of the tube and opened it. But there was no assignment, just a fortune cookie.

"Wait, what?" Y/n asked in disbelief as Five cracked the cookie. But of course, there was some note.

"Time marches on...or does it? Rain Quail Rm 12"

That was the note. Five put the note inside his blazer pocket and turned to Y/n holding her shoulders.

"Listen, I gotta go and meet her, okay? You stay here and-"

"There is no way in hell that I am staying here while you go talk with that psycho. I am coming with you. End of story." She protested.

But Five shook his head at her."No, no, you will be safer here. Stay here with Diego and Klaus and I will-"

"Oh, come on, Five. We talked with this woman hundreds of times. There's nothing new that I would get from her anyways. Plus, we don't have time for this." She interrupted him and smiled.

Five stared at her for a couple of seconds and nodded his head. He took her palm and teleported them away once again.
