At this moment, Five and I appeared downstairs in Elliott's place as we heard the rotary phone dialing and looked at the blood on the ground. "Oga For Oga...oh no." Five and I walked quietly up the stairs. I noticed something in the dentist chair and pulled the cover down to see Elliot's corpse.
"Damn," Five muttered, and put it back up. "Olga?" I heard Luther sav. "It's her. She sounds
old. What should I say?" I heard Diego make some
noises. Luther cleared his throat.

"Excuse me,ma'am. Um, I was just wondering-
What? My name? Is, uh, Luther Hargreeves, and-"
All while that was happening, I watched Five
quickly hide the briefcase somewhere, for
safekeeping.

I heard Diego take the phone from Luther. "You
killed on of ours, Olga, now we're coming after you.
You will be dead by nightfall," Diego threatened.
I walked in. "Hey. It's Oga For Oga, idiots. Swedish
for 'an eye for an eye.''

Luther and Diego looked at me questioningly. "It means the Swedes killed Elliot," Five butted in. Diego, with a look of realization, got back to the call.
"Wrong number. Have a lovely day."
Diego and Luther look at each other. I scoffed. "We
would've gotten there," Luther said. "Eventually.
"Yeah." They both turned back to us.
"Uh, you both

"Yeah." They both turned back to us. "Uh, you both
have some blood on you," Luther noted. "A lot of
blood, actually," Diego added. "Ugh, really?" I
wiped my face again. "You seriously need a cleaner
method of killing," I muttered at Five.
"Like your is any better." He whiper yelled back at me. I scoffed "you got a point there."

"(Y/N), Five, what did you do?"
I MANAGED TO clean the rest of the blood from
both me and Five. "So we found a way home," Five
stated, pulling his tie back around his neck. "What?
How?" Luther asked. "All the details are irrelevant,
but..."

He fiddled with his tie. "We made a deal to get back
to our timeline."
"What about doomsday?" Diego asked. "Won't
happen," I replied, readjusting myself in the mirror
next to Five. "And the 2019 apocalypse?" Diego
asked, again.

"Everything will be back to normal
All right? Now, no more questions. We gotta go,
Five stated.

"We have to gather the rest of the Academy, right?"
I said to all of them. "Yeah," Luther agreed.
"Luther, you get Allison."

"Okay."

"Diego, Klaus. We'll get Vanya," Five completed.

"Now, we meet back in the arrival alley in 77
minutes, Here." Five grabbed some items off the table. He handed one to all of us. "I've synchronized these watches."

"Okay, let's do this," Luther said, putting his on.
"Woah, woah, woah, hold on," Diego stopped the
both of us. "You two show up drenched in blood-"
"He got drenched, not me." I clarified.

"-and expect us to believe everything's gonna go
back to normal if we go home now?" He
questioned. "Elliot just got killed because of us."
Five pointed to the body in the chair. "What about
Dad?" Diego asked. "What about JFK?"
"Diego, we have a chance to go home and make
things right. I am begging you to take it," I replied.
He looked down. "I have to say goodbye to Lila."

"Yeah, about tha-"
"Lila doesn't give a shit about you, Diego!" I shouted.

"She never did," Five continued as Diego
turned around. I sighed. "Lila she's...one of them.
She's a member of the Commission," I completed
for Five.

"No way. Not possible," Diego denied. "She was
just using you to get to me. You're the Oswald of
this story, my friend. The goddamned patsy;" Five
began to walk away.

"You don't know what you're saying."

Five teleported in front of him. "If you don't do
this, I'll kill you myself. Got it?" He blinked away,
leaving a shocked Diego. I turned to him.

"I'm gonna go follow Five," I said to Luther. He
nodded at me.

I disappeared and found him waiting for me in the alley.

He was pacing back and forth, looking worried while
constantly checking his watch.
"Hey! There you are. We have to find-"
"Are you okay?" I asked him. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm
fine," he said, but he didn't sound so sure. "Five,
you can talk to me. I know you're definitely not
doing well." He sighed. "It's just...I've dealt with
two apocalypses in the span of almost three weeks.
It's so stressful. And then things like Diego being
sidetracked happens and I just-"
He stopped himself. "Why can't I just have a day
off?" He asked, looking up into the sky. "Hey,
I get it. That's why I pushed you so much about getting the briefcase. I just wanna go home."

                                        ~•~

"Where is everyone?"
"You're the first," Five said, sarcastically appalled.
"What?" Luther exclaimed. "Yeah." I ran in and
stood next to Five.'

Klaus came stumbling in after me.
"We made it!" He shouted. "What do you mean
we?" I watched as Klaus tried to push a spirit out of
his body. Ben? They struggled for a bit longer. Five
and Luther were obviously confused but I saw Ben
trying to stay in. Finally, Klaus hunched over and
puked all over the floor, Ben coming out with it. I
shuddered in disgust.
"I can't believe it. I mean, you're here."

"We've got eight minutes left."
Klaus fell to the floor. "I just had the strangest
dream." I went to go check on him. "Where are the
others?!" Five shouted. We stood there for a couple
more minutes.

"We've got a minute left," Luther said, hitting the
dumpster. "What's going on, guys? Are we going

"It was a simple task. It was a simple task!" Five
was pacing back and forth. "All we had to do was be
here. Didn't have to fight a giant sea monster, no.
An army of mutants? Nein!"
"I can't believe this," Luther muttered. "It was
handed to us in a silver platter," Five continued.
"Could you moan a little softer? My head is killing
me," Klaus complained. "Listen to me, you useless
puke bag, we just blew our chance to save the
world!" He shouted at him.

"Hey! Calm down! I'm sure they're coming," I
looked down the alleyway, but saw no one. I heard
clicking noises from the briefcase. Five scoffed
"God damn it."

"Shit."

Five chucked the briefcase in the air and it
disappeared, along with any hope of getting back to
2019.

"We were that close. That close.
