Number Five walked up to the elevator of the building that the letter had directed him to. He pushed the button, hearing a ding before the doors opened.

He pressed a few buttons before allowing the doors to close. A hand stopped the doors from closing and seconds later, Diego entered. Allison followed moments after.

"Hey everyone" Klaus greeted as he walked in with Willow, Vanya following closely behind the couple.

"Excuse me" Luther said as he stood in the middle of the elevator.

"Good. The whole family's here" Five said, trying to suppress a smile as the doors closed in front of him.

"All right, when Dad gets here, I'll do the talking. Okay?" Five asked as the Hargreeves entered the restaurant.

"I got a few questions for him myself" Diego said.

"Hey, we don't wanna scare him off. He might be able to help us stop doomsday, get us home" Five replied.

"No Five, we need to figure out why he's trying to kill the president" Diego replied.

"This is a matter of life and death, you imbecile!" Five exclaimed at him. He was done with all the JFK talk.

"Five's right, this is way bigger than Kennedy. This is about doomsday" Willow replied.

"Which will happen because of our dad shooting the president" Diego argued.

"That doesn't even make sense since Kennedy was still shot in the original timeline and there was never a nuclear war" Willow argued back.

"Okay, yeah, maybe we should take turns talking" Vanya suggested as she picked up a shell. "Whoever has got this conch shell gets to talk"

"I like that idea" Willow complimented as Vanya sent her a smile of gratitude.

"Vanya, we don't have time for a debate, okay?" Five asked.

"Maybe I should lead, we all know I'm a better public speaker than the rest of you" Allison said as she grabbed the shell from Vanya's hands.

"Yeah because you know so much about this whole thing?" Willow asked. It annoyed her slightly that all the Hargreeves tried to take the lead when none of them knew what they were talking about, with the exception of Five.

"Okay, Daddy's girl" Diego teased.

"Aww, jealous Number Two?" Allison asked.

"Hey, hey! No more numbers" Willow scolded as she sat down at the table.

"She's right. No more bullshit, we're Team Zero now" Diego told them.

"Uh, Diego. You don't have the conch" Luther taunted before Diego grabbed the conch and threw it, smashing it into pieces.
