We walked into the barn, immediately hit with both Five and Lila's arguing. 

"She never cared about your parents. She was looking for you." Five explained to Lila. Lila shook her head, not wanting to believe the truth, "Why?" she said in a soft whisper. 

"'Cause you're one of us." Diego said, alerting Five and Lila that we were here. 

Five's eyes immediately darted towards me. We locked eye contact. I saw all the wounds on him. He looked really worn out, even more than before. But, Diego and Lila's talk continued. 

"The Handler stole you, Lila. Just like our asshole father took all of us." Diego explained even more. "No. It's not the same thing." Lila replied, still not wanting to believe the simple but hurting truth. 

Diego sighed, "You're right. Because he didn't have our parents murdered" he said, looking actually sympathetic  towards her. "Listen to me, Lila. You were born October 1, 1989, the same day as all of us." Diego said, edging closer to her. 

"Stay back!" Lila yelled at the top of her lungs while pointing a very sharp knife at him. "Hey! Hey, stop! Wait. Wait. Hey!" Diego yelled back, scared that she'll just kill him in seconds. "Lila? Lila, stop." He said in a even softer voice. 

"I trusted you. I got you a job, I even introduced you to my mother, and then you took off on me." Lila said, nearly in tears. "Because I needed to save the world!" Diego yelled. 

"She's using you, Lila." 

Before I could turn around to see what was going on, I was immediately met by the sound of gunshots. I looked behind me to see that the Handler was back to attack us, but was fatally shot by Five, who for some reason had a convenient gun on him. 

( DISCLAIMER:  this scene may be confusing since in the show, it was shown in Five's point of view but since it's Y/N's, things moved faster )

There was silence as we watched the Handler's dead body just sit there on the ground. Out of sudden, Lila started to run to the briefcase. Luther jumped out to get the breif case from her before she could get it but yet again, out of nowhere, Diego jumped in front of him too, stopping him. 

Luther fell on top of Diego as Lila got the case and opened it, making her disappear in seconds. 

I sighed, disappointed. 

Just as Lila left, another man entered the barn. Five immediately pointed the gun at the mysterious man. 

Turns out he was one of the swede. But where were his brothers? 

We all gulped anxiously, not knowing what to do. Instead of shooting at the swede, he simply dropped the gun. "Enough." He simply said, keeping direct eye contact with him in the process. 

The Swede looked around, incredulous. Indeed, he also dropped his gun and in Swedish he replied "Enough". He walked out as if nothing happened. 

Now that there was no threat, Five turned around to look at me. He walked to me quickly, "You okay?" He asked while touching my arms gently.
