━━━━━━━━━━ The background filled with pins falling on the floor, kids cheering and laughing at their achievements. You smiled at their laughter, knowing that at least they would have some good last moments.

Sitting in between Bucky and Five, you propped your foot up on on your brother's lap. He gave you a weird look, wordlessly asking what the hell you were doing. You raised one of your hands, gathering red energy in it, as you began to mend the broken bones in your foot.

"Look, I hate to be the one to say this, but everyone needs to prepare." Luther stated.

"For what?" Diego questioned.

"To do whatever it takes to stop Vanya." You smiled as Allison slapped your brother with her notebook. "I— We may not have a choice, Allison."

"Bullshit. There's always options."

Five pushed your foot off of his lap once you were finished, "Yeah, like what?"

Diego paused, "I don't know."

"Look, whatever we decide, we need to find Vanya." Luther stood up, "And fast, okay? She could be anywhere."

Klaus looked up from the newspaper, "Or... here. Look at this." He shifted in his seat so everybody could look at the paper."

"That's right. Her concert is tonight," Diego remarked.

"Hello," An unfamiliar voice caused you all to turn around, finding a worker standing there. "I hate to intrude, but my manager says if you're not gonna bowl, you gotta leave."

You glared at the manager as he slammed a pair of shoes on the counter while Diego spoke up, "Whose turn is it?"

"Oh, for..." Luther picked up a pink bowling ball and hurled it across the alley, knocking down all of the pins.

"Hole in one!" You cheered.

Allison grabbed Luther's attention by tapping her notebook. She had written, 'She's our sister,' on the pad of paper. "We're the only ones capable of stopping this. We have a responsibility to Dad."

"To Dad?" Diego scoffed, "No, I've heard enough about—"

"He sacrificed everything to bring us back together."

"I'm with Luther on this one," Five agreed. "We can't give her a chance to fight back. There are billions of lives at stake. We're past trying to save just one."

"Hey, you know, guys, uh... maybe I could help." You tilted your head at your brother, intrigued by what Klaus had to say.

"Now is not the time."

Diego shut Luther down, "No, let him finish. He saved my life today."

Klaus stood up, Luther still staring incredulously at him, "Is that true?"
