𝐘/𝐍 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐍 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐒, but it was pretty bright where she was at the moment. Eventually, she managed to open them. She saw that she was sitting in some chair, a familiar chair to be honest...

"Welcome back, Y/n." A woman's voice that she could recognize anywhere was heard inside the room and in front of her.

Y/n looked up and saw The Handler, in her glory, sitting in front of her across the table with her cigarette.

"What the hell? What am I doing here?" She looked around the same room she was before with Five when they had lunch with her. She wasn't even tied to the chair she was just sitting there normally which was unexpected.

"I've missed you. Well, you and Five but...mostly you." She said not breaking her gaze of Y/n and pointing her cigarette at the girl.

"Jokes on you, because I couldn't have missed you less." Y/n crossed her arm on her chest and leaned back on her chair.

"What a shame..."The Handler put out her cigarette and put her chin on her hands."...because I wanted to offer you something."

Y/n looked at her with a scared, worried, and confused mixed look."What do you mean?"

She knew that when The Handler starts conversations like that, it's anything but bad. For example, when Five met the woman first he agreed to the job which broke their marriage.

"I know how bad you hate Number Five. He trapped you in the apocalypse, destroyed your life, and got you to work for me without your consent. These are pretty valid reasons to do so." The woman chuckled evilly.

"And what business is that of yours?" Y/n didn't seem phased by that.

"I want to offer you a deal. The last deal of your life with the commission." She stood up and walked over to Y/n around the table."I want for you to kill Number Five, and in return, you can forget he ever existed, get back to your original body and live a normal life, a life you wanted to live ever since you were 13, anywhere...you...want."

Y/n was dumbfounded by this the whole time."Excuse me?"

"Y/n, you hate Five. Why try and hide it? If you kill him, it will be much easier for the commission since he has done so many bad things-"

"And what about me?"

The Handler looked at her all startled. "What about you?"

"I did some bad things with him too. Why don't I deserve to die with his as well?" Y/n glared at her.

The Handler leaned in closer and touched Y/n's small face."Because you are more incredible in every single way than him. Killing you would just be a sin." She pulled back and leaned on the table. "So, what do you say? Are you in?"

"Are you insane?" Y/n almost yelled and stood from her chair, starting to pace around the room."I am not going to kill Five! It's ridiculous!" She put both of her hands on her chest and crossed them.

The Handler just tilted her head and started walking closer to her."Y/n...Five doesn't deserve you. You are the most extraordinary woman I have ever met. Five is not even remotely close to what you are capable of."

The Handler continued walking closer to Y/n but she just stood there with an angry look."I. Don't. Care."

"Oh, but we both know that you do." The woman chuckled. She walked up to her and touched her left cheek."You hated killing innocent people, right? Well, Five is anything but innocent. Why should you feel guilt towards a person who deserves it?"

Y/n thought about it for a couple of seconds looking at The Handler. Of course, what she said was kind of true, but this decision was not even close to being the right one. But Y/n didn't think twice about the right thing she had to do. But that's what The Handler does: she traps you into her own bubble and makes you believe that working for her is the only way out.

"Just to be clear, if I kill Five, I can finish this madness with you and I can go live a normal...life?"

"That's the deal." The Handler smiled."So what do you say?"

"I'm in."

𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐋𝐔𝐄 𝐕𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐗 into a small puddle fell Five as the vortex closed above him. He stood up, the wind whistling everywhere, and looked at it.

"Y/n! Luther! Diego!" He yelled into the vortex hoping that something or someone would say something back.

But the vortex closed like nothing ever happened and everyone was gone in a split second. Five heard some overlapping gunshots behind him in the streets so he turned around to look at it.

Machine guns were firing everywhere, bullets were ricocheting and men were screaming at the top of their lungs.

Five walked out of the alley as everyone was fighting for their lives and country. He looked around trying to figure out what the hell was going on since it felt something like out of a horror movie.

He saw planes fly overhead in the sky and men screaming in Russian. Explosions were going off everywhere and for everything.

He saw a newspaper covered under some bricks so he ran and crawled to it to read the headline and the name.

"Soviets attack US?" He read it out loud in disbelief. He stood up and started walking closer to the madness that was unfolding."No, this can't be right."

Soldiers were near the injured people, makingsure that they stay alive and safe, while the others were shooting at one another and screaming in pain as the bullets pierced their bodies, causing them to drop dead on the ground.

Five squinted his eyes and looked at the sky in disbelief. "What the hell did we do now?" And as he said that, a tank fired a shell near him causing him to fall to the ground from the force and sound it made.

The shell flew across the streat but it was immediately stopped by Vanya. She was in mid-air, glowing all blue as she used her powers. She was flying and used her power to demolish the shell right in front of her face into a million pieces.

Klaus, on the other hand, was on the ground as he summoned many dead soldiers glowing all blue. They ran towards the alive soldiers and killed them in a matter of seconds by decapitating their heads.

Then Luther was heard shouting above Klaus' head. He jumped off a building and flew right over to Klaus screaming.

He landed right in front of him continuing to scream even as there was an explosion behind his back which didn't phase him at all. While Klaus was just awkwardly watching him do his shenanigans.

Meanwhile Ben was on the rooftop using his powers, thanks to Klaus, the tentacles, to take the soldiers down from the ground and at the rooftop.

Ben threw one of the men down on the ground and so the others stopped in front of that because he fell in their way. But then it was Allison's turn to do her work.

"Hey!" She yelled when she was behind them. They turned around and pointed their guns but she stopped them from doing anything else."I heard a rumor that I blew your minds." Her voice echoed through the air.

The sound waves traveled to their ears and their heads exploded letting their organs and gushes of blood splatter around them. Soon enough, those men also dropped dead on the ground.

Y/n was on the other side of the road next to Allison. She used her telekinesis to kick a huge debris part of a roof from the ground and threw them at the soldiers knocking them down to the ground and squishing their bodies.

Meanwhile Diego was standing on a car that was flipped over as soldiers ran to him. But when they started shooting at him, he dodged them all by spinning in the air and throwing his knives by stabbing the soldiers in a matter of seconds. "Five! You sick son of a bitch, where the hell have you been?"

Five wanted to run to them and help and talk with them, but energy zapped near him and a hand on his shoulder stopped him from going anywhere. He looked at the hand and up at the man who stopped him.

"If you wanna live, come with me." Old Hazel with a briefcase said.

"Hazel. What the hell is going on?" Five asked looking back at the others and back at him.

"There's no time to explain."He pointed at the sky with his index finger."Those are nukes, old-timer."

The missiles drone in the sky as the pair looked up.

"What about my family?" Five asked glancing back at Hazel.

"You can't save 'em if you're dead."

Five looked around himself one more time and nodded. He held out a hand and Hazel took it and shook it before teleporting away from that event.

∽☂ ∽

"𝐎𝐊𝐀𝐘..." Five said to himself as he and Hazel teleported into the same place but everything was normal and okay. "...what the hell was that?"

"The end of the world, November 25, 1963." Hazel simply explained.

"63..." Five chuckled in disbelief to that. "You know, Hazel, I'm no history buff, but I don't recall there being a nuclear holocaust."

"No shit."

"What about my family?"

"Dead, like everyone else." Hazel said it as if though it couldn't be more simplier.

It felt like a stab to Five's heart. He and Y/n were trying to save the world and were plotting the plan for so long, but as it turns out, it was all for nothing because there is another end of the world coming their way.

So notonly did they didn't save the world from the previous apocalypse, but when they saved their asses from that apocalypse, they caused a new one.

Great.

Just great.

He and Y/n just made things much better and they agreed to try again and it felt like a new chapter for Five. But now it is useless because he had no idea where all of his family was and if they were still even alive.

"And where am I now?"

"Dallas. Same street. Ten days earlier." Hazel walked off and to the bench to sit down."Plenty of time to restore the timeline and save them."

Five looked around himself putting his hands together. He tried to shift into that right state of mind where he's supposed to do all of that from 2019 but just again but also with some extra chores. So he camec back down to sit with Hazel. "So where do we start?"

"We"? You're on your own pal. I'm just here to keep a promise to Agnes." Hazel said but in a lower tone.

"Is she...?"

"Dead?"

"Yeah."

"Cancer. Took her quick." Hazel tried to look at the positive side of things. in such a sad situation "But we had 20 good years together. I guess forever just wasn't in the cards."

Five thought about Y/n when Hazel was talking about him and Agnes. He knew that him and Y/n already lived a long life in the apocalypse but he just couldn't shake the thought of them actually not being together forever.

But he quickly came back to the right state of mind and to the problem that the two men were trying to solve and unravel.

But while Five and Hazel were talking, a blue and white van pulled up to the street in front of them. Then 3 grown Swedish men got out of the van which looked a little bit suspicious.

"I'm sorry, Hazel." Five tried to comfort him."What about the commission?"

"I quit those assholes, remember?" Hazel brought up a memory for Five."I don't owe 'em the fuzz off my peaches."

But then Five noticed those 3 men walking towards him and Hazel as he stood up."Well then, who the hell are those guys?"

Hazel noticed them too and sprung into action. "Shit." He put something in Five's right jacket pocket and gave him the briefcase. "Run!"

The men shot their guns at Hazel as his body jumped on the bench but Five managed to teleport just in time.

Five gasped as he teleported somewhere near but behind a car with now a broken briefcase covered in bullet holes.

The 3 men came to Hazel but when they saw that he was dead and there was no sign of Five, they scattered around and continued looking for the boy.

But since Five's briefcase got shot, smoke was coming out of it. And that caught one of the guys' attention. He whistled for the others that he found him and that Five was there.

"How many times did I say "bulletproof cases"?" He looked over the useless briefcase he had in his hands.

He glanced over the car to see where they were. But the men noticed his head and started shooting towards him just like at Hazel.

But they didn't shoot at Five since he managed to teleport away. But the men still continued to shoot. Meanwhile, they just shot the windows.

They stopped shooting and went over to see behind the car, but Five was already gone. He managed to teleport on the rooftop that was next to the car.

After that, he easily teleported away and back to the same alleyway that he landed in. He fixed his tie and looked around him at the police cars.

But while he was scratching his head and looking at the building in front of him, he noticed a man cover the window curtains when he and Five noticed one another, locking looks with one another.

Five then looked up even more and spotted some weird camera and antenna gear on the rooftop which was something interesting.

He walked closer to the doors and saw that it was a television store, because of the sign on the door. For everything to be more simple, he had teleported already inside the house and was walking up the stairs to the apartment.

While he walked, he fixed his jacket and came to one of the two doors. He stared inside but because of the blinds couldn't see anything. He knocked on that door, but the door on his right was the one that opened.

A man opened the door and looked around them in the hallway. "What do you want?"

"Hi, I'm selling encyclopedias for my youth group. I was curious if-"

But before he could finish his sentence, the man shut the door right in his face. But Five just simply teleported inside the house.

He appeared behind the man so the man turned around and shrieked in surprise while Five just stood there proudly. He loved the reactions of people seeing use his powers for the first time, it was actually one of the first things that him and Y/n found they liked in common.

The man tried to open the drawer next to him, but because he was so scared, he was just clattering with them. Meanwhile, Five just turned his head and smirked.

The man pulled some small knife out of the drawer and pointed it at him. "How'd you do that?" He pointed at the door.

"Don't really have time to explain." Five simply shrugged.

"You from the Pentagon? Huh?"

"Definitely not."

"CIA? FBI. KGB?" The man kept guessing Five's place from where he is but the boy just ignored it.

"Is that fresh?" He pointed at the table with coffee and teleported next to it.

The man screamed again looking back at the place where Five was before and to where he teleported to. "What..."

Five just looked all confused at him while he poured some coffee into a yellow mug. He walked from the table through the threshold and to the living room drinking his coffee.

"Hmm. This Colombian?" He turned around to look at the man and motioned with his cup.

"It's my own blend." The man glanced at the table.

Five just shrugged but noticed some interesting posters were hung up around the living room about aliens, UFOs, and just weird stuff in general as he walked around.

Five connected the dots by staring at the wall and wanted to see what he was dealling with. "You ever heard of, uh, Area 51? Roswell?" He walked around the living room with his cup still in his hands.

The man scoffed and chuckled at that response as he threw the knife somewhere on the counter."Hot damn! Whoo! See, I always knew we weren't the only ones. See, Eleanor thought my head wasn't screwed on tight, but...but it's all true, yeah? UFOs, crop circles..."

"Well, the truth is out there." Five smiled as he walked closer to him.

"No, no, no, no. The...the truth, it's...right here in front of us." The man began walking even closer to Five but he backed away in suspicion. "Tell me, wh...why is it always an ana probe?"

Five leaned in and smiled sarcastically. "Any closer and I'll melt your brain."

"He needs a little space. Yes." The man got the message and backed away from Five. "I'll be over here."

"All those contraptions on the roof, you built those, right?" Five walked over to the left side of the room and were glancing at all of the papers and machines.

"Oh, yeah, yeah, sure did. Yeah, I've been tracking anomalies in...in the atmosphere. Just waiting." While he was talking he didn't take his eyes off Five, not for a single second.

"Waiting for what?"

"For you."

Five looked at him just genuinely confused at what he meant by that.

"For all of you."

The man explained how everything happened back in 1960, about 3 years ago. He was working his job until something very strange happened. He saw some blue light and electricity appearing in the alleyway.

He walked up to the window to the alleyway and saw, none other than Klaus, standing there and yelling his siblings' names. So in the past 3 years, he witnessed 6 energy surges. He explained how everything happens but when they were talking, another energy surge appeared in the alleyway.

Five and Elliot stared at one another to that. Five had no clue who could have been there you didn't travel to the 1960s already and Elliot just wanted to prove to Five his explanation with proof so it was the perfect way to do that.

Five instantly put down his coffee mug and teleported to the alley. Just as he teleported there, a girl with y/h/c hair fell through the portal and on the ground on her back.

Five ran up to her and helped her stand up."Y/n? What are you- did you get here just now?"

Y/n just looked around herself trying to understand where she landed. Five took her hands and hugged her."God, I missed you." He said hugging her tightly not even letting Y/n answer his question.

"Um...I missed you too." Y/n fake smiled and looked around herself again."Where are we?"

"Dallas, 1963."

Y/n stopped looking around and turned back to Five shocked with a confused look. "Pardon?"
