Zee sits in her room looking at a picture of her and her siblings when they were kids, before Ben died and the family started to fall apart. Ben looks over her shoulder "Wasn't that the day Klaus decided to see how many marshmallows he could fit in his mouth, and the only reason he didn't choke was because you used your powers to stop that from happening?" he asks her. Smiling Zee nods remembering the day like it was yesterday "Let's go find the others." Ben tells her. Nodding Zee puts the picture on her bedside table and walks downstairs to the kitchen to find Klaus, Five and Alison already there "Where's Vanya?" Alison asks. "Oh, she's gone." Klaus responds as Zee sits on the table. "That's unfortunate." Five comments. "Yeah." Alison agrees thinking he means about Vanya. "An entire square block. Forty-two bedrooms, 19 bathrooms, but no, not a single drop of coffee." Five continues making Zee giggle slightly. "Dad hated caffeine." Alison responds. "Well, he hated children, too, and he had plenty of us." Zee signs making Klaus laugh as he translates for Alison. "I'm taking the car." Five says starting to head out the room. "Where are you going?" Alison asks. "To get a decent cup of coffee." he tells her. "Do you even know how to drive?" she counters. "I know how to do everything." Five responds before space jumping.

Klaus stands up "I feel like we should try and stop him, but then again, I also just kinda want to see what happens." he says as they hear the engine start. Zee rolls her eyes and looks at Ben who shrugs at her "All right, I guess I'll see you guys in, what, ten years? When Pogo dies?" Diego asks walking in and kissing Zee's head. "Not if you die first." Alison retorts. "Yeah, love you too, sis. Good luck on your next film. Hope it turns out better than your marriage, huh?" Diego tells her. "Are... Are we leaving?" Klaus asks. "No, I'm leaving, me by myself." Diego responds. "Oh, fabulous! I'll get my things." Klaus says turning to Zee who nods and jumps off the table to go get her things. Zee space jumps up to her room and grabs her bag, shoving all her stuff in it not caring if it's neat. Space jumping back downstairs she meets Klaus by the door before they rush out to the car. Climbing in the passenger seat Zee smiles at Diego as Klaus climbs in the back, Ben next to him "Hey! Diego. You know, every time I close my eyes, I see a diarrhetic hippo about to shit on my face. It's terrifying!" Klaus says leaning forward between his siblings. "Terrific." Diego comments as Klaus shuts his eyes. "No! No." Klaus says before opening his eyes as Diego starts the car. "Lean back." Zee signs at Klaus making him pout but lean back into his seat. "Where we going?" Zee asks Diego. "I'm going to make a stop at the docks, then I'm taking you two home." he tells his sister. Zee nods and watches out the window, looking out at the city as they drive.

Sitting in the front, Zee watches as Diego looks at something in his hand by the harbour "Yoo-hoo, Diego! I hate to rush you through any kind of brooding moment you might be having, but come on, man, we're starving!" Klaus calls, leaning out of his window. Zee turns round and smacks his leg making him sit down properly in his seat "I'm craving eggs. No! Wait, it's too late for eggs. Waffles. Huh? You like waffles, right? Ah. Of course you do. Everyone likes waffles." Klaus says not letting Ben or Zee respond. Turning round Zee watches as Diego walks back over and climbs into the car "Diego, thank you for joining us, we have decided on, drum roll, waffles." Klaus grins giving a little drumroll on the back of Zee's seat. "I'm gonna drop you two off at the bus stop. I gotta get back to work." Diego responds, starting the engine. "What, breaking bones and cracking skulls?" Zee asks. "Saving lives, baby." Diego chuckles softly. Zee rolls her eyes and hits the back of his head "Well, I guess it's frozen waffles again. Yeah, I could do egg and bacon, but I'm trying to cut down on my pig products." Klaus says looking at Ben. Diego looks back and doesn't see anyone, See taps him "Ben's sat next to him." she explains making him nod before driving off.

In the early hours of the morning Zee drags a high and drunk Klaus into the Hargreeves Academy and shoves him onto the sofa "Sober up, I'll see you in the morning." she tells him before going to her childhood room. On her way there she sees Pogo "Hi Pogo." she smiles. "Ah, Miss Zee. I thought you'd left?" he asks. "Klaus got drunk and high. This place was closer than home." she explains. Pogo chuckles "Always the caring one. You get off to bed young lady. It's been a long day." Pogo smiles. Zee nods and waves goodbye before going to her room, entering she finds Ben already lying on her bed "I'm staying with you. Klaus has already passed out on the sofa." he tells her. Zee smiles and nods before changing into one of Klaus' T-shirt's and climbing into bed "Night Ben." she whispers. Ben smiles "Night Zee."

A/N: sorry it has been so long. I have had so much trouble finding a transcript to work from. I think I've found one which will work now. I'm going to go back and edit/change the previous chapter slightly so it runs more smoothly. Thanks for understanding, if anyone knows where I can find a transcript let me know so I have backups 🙂
