"Y'all know, Jell-O used to be a delicacy. You know, in order to make it, you gotta boil down a whole mess of hooves... you know, horses, cows, pigs, it doesn't matter. But not everybody has a mess of hooves just laying around. It wasn't until, uh... a couple of sassy New Yorkers figured out how to dry it out so that the rest of us could have a... chance to enjoy this ambrosia."

"If we have some, will you shut up?" Asked Diego, the three Hargreeves sitting in Elliott's living room at been listening to the guy monologue for over 30 minutes now.

"Maybe. Here." Replied sassily Elliott starting to serve the Jell-O cut inside the cream. Luther face was stuck into disgust, Y/n understood why he was repulsed by the sight of it, Elliott's dishes never looked the best, but some of them did taste rather fine.

"How you feeling?" Asked Luther towards the woman beside him to distract himself from the sight in front of him. The two ordinary people learned that the woman was called Vanya and that she sadly had lost her memories after being run over by a car.

"Pretty shitty, to be honest."

"Where would you say you are on a scale from one to... ending all life on this planet?" Butted in Diego, throwing his knife in the air, making it flip every time.

"Really?" Said the two women at the same time, Vanya stretched a little to look behind her to smile slightly at Y/n for the support.

"Diego, put the knife away, you idiot. She's fine." Luther was exasperated, he himself was taken by guilt, as Five had revealed, the big guy in the past tried to squeeze his sister to a pulp.

"The last time I saw this one, she had me suspended midair, sucking the life out of me with energy tentacles. I think I'm allowed a little time to process."

Elliot eyes grew wide at the sentence, he couldn't stop himself from talking in between them. "Oh, I would love to see an energy tentacle."

"El..." Sighed Y/n while Luther shook his head with a expression of terror trying to say. 'You don't want to see it.'

"I don't remember what I did, but I'm sorry...if... if that means anything."

"It does." A really comical but cute scene right? Diego took the opportunity to try and empty his worries, wanting to feel in a little bit of family bonding, he wanted to talk about Lila and how he felt betrayed, Y/n had a feeling he felt genuine feelings for her, but he was interrupted by someone getting inside the shop.

"Oh, thank god." Y/n eyebrow furrowed at hearing that, by now she had understood that the group, their family, was emotionally unstable or at least didn't deal fine with each others emotions, but that was mean.

"Is anyone here? Helloo~" It was a female voice joined by another male one speaking in French.

"Le petit mort, le petit mort."

"What? You don't speak French." Chuckled the woman's voice

"It's 'the little death'" The people upstairs stood up, all of them, it was time too see the whole family together. They walked to the railing and looked down at three people coming in.

"Oh wow... I know this is impossible but... di we all get sexier?" Asked the tall man beside a black woman. Y/n recognized them both on the spot, she wasn't too much into politics yes but she surely looked into the news.

The situation was tense, but a sweet and comfy kind of tense, Y/n had realized that this very moment was the reunion point. This people haven't see each other for years, this family was finally reunited again. The group split to walk downstairs and finally hugged each other.

"I missed you." Cried Allison towards Vanya, a warm smile on both of their lips.

"Thank good someone did." Surprisingly there was not a lot of huggy time outside the two sisters, and the tall guy disrupting their peace to give affection to Vanya too. Despite the repulse of the taller woman Vanya laughed at his brother giving him a cute 'hi' muffled in the embrace of her sister.

"Hey, Vanny." Was her brother's reply in a sweet voice, a kiss lending on her head.

"Klaus, is Ben here?" Asked Five while the three-way embrace loosened out.

"Oh, uh... no. No, unfortunately, ghosts can't time travel."

"He can see ghosts?" Asked Y/n to herself, she didn't expect Five making a move with his hand to slightly turn towards her and nod a yes.

"Alright then, let's get down to business." Five did not want to loose time so in second everyone was set in the living room, Jell-O being replaced by soft drinks, curtesy of Y/n. "Okay, first off, I wanna say I'm sorry. I know I really screwed the pooch on this whole going-back-in-time-and-getting-stuck thing. But the real kick in the pants here is we brought the end of the world back here with us."

"Oh my god, again?" Asked Klaus, he was listening but still searching fore something a little bit stronger, Y/n had actually locked up the alcohol cabinet after noticing the two new arrivers looking kinda of drunk... she didn't want to play 'Mom', but really, being drunk while saving the world was not a equation she was willing to solve. All his brothers looked at him awkwardly. "All of you knew? Why am I always the last one to find out about the end of the— Oh, my God. My cult, is going to be so pissed, Five! I told them we had until 2019."

"We have until Monday. We have six days." Of course Klaus was the last learning about the bad things, he was always on something.

"Six days?" Y/n straighten up at hearing that, her Mom was going to kill her, even after her death if she wasn't going to see her before the end of... Everything... not that she didn't think the group was not gonna make it... but she feared her mother more than everything.

"Yes, didn't I tell you?" Asked Five while his siblings had a small back and forth about Vanya being the cause of the second doomsday.

"I would have remembered something like that." She replied, Five only shrugged his shoulder like he hadn't just told her that she might be dead in six days. "I have to go."

"Do you have any leads, Five?" Asked Vanya While Y/n stood up and packed her purse, Elliott threw her keys at her.

"Wait. What do you mean?" Five held a hand towards Vanya asking a second of her time before turning towards the woman that was leaving on a rush. "Where are you going?" He teleported in front of her before she could walk down the stairs.

"I need to go see my mom, if you are for real, if in six days there might be a doomsday, I need to see her before starting whatever suicide mission you're all planning to do." She said trying to push him aside and walk past him but he was stiff in his position. "Five I'll push you harder if you don't get out of my way."

"Just stay and listen to the rest before going, so I don't have to repeat myself later." He insisted, Y/n lips pressed and their eyes met, she was stubborn in her decision but his eyes made her re-think. Behind her the rest of the group was already talking about their dad being in the grassy knoll the day JFK get's killed. She looked at them and back at him, his gaze holding need, like he needed someone that actually granted help.

"Fine..."
