Pogo lit up a cigarette before he let out a puff of smoke "Hello Miss Jane" he said "Hey, Pogo" Jane said "How are you a teenager again?" he asked and Five looked at her "Long story short, two years ago an accident happen and I almost died, to save my life Reginald experimented on me that made me end up in my 14-year-old body" she said and Pogo nodded before he looked at Five.

"You're her boyfriend?" Pogo asked.

"Yes"

"No"

Five and Jane looked at each other "No. I barely know you" Jane said "You used to, we used to be partners in crime, but then you got amnesia" he said "So you are someone from her past?" Pogo asked "Oh Yeah" Five answered as he looked back at Pogo "So maybe you can get her memories back" Pogo said "Trust me, I'm trying" he said and Jane rolled her eyes.

"Well, anyway, I don't tattoo children" Pogo said "Swell, we're not here for the ink. We're here because we have a mutual friend. Sir Reginald Hargreeves" Five said and Pogo sighed "Whatever he wants, I'm not interested and sending you wouldn't changed my mind" he said as he looked at Jane "Trust me, I'm not here because of him. I have left the Sparrows and I'm done with Reginald" she said "Good, but I'm still not interested" Pogo said before he turned back to the tattoo chair.

"I don't think you understand, I'm one of his children. From another timeline" Five said and a few bikers starting taking some steps closer to Jane and Five while the sound chains rattling was heard.

Pogo turned around to look at them again "Another timeline?" he asked before he chuckled and the two took a quick glance around to see that the birkers started to surround them.

"As crazy as it sounds, you and I have met before. Back in 1963 when you were a diaper-wearing chimp in dire need of a manicure. I don't know if you remember, but I have a scar to prove it" Five said and pulled down his collar a little bit to reveal the three scratch marks.

As Jane looked at the three scratch marks, another vision appeared in her head, it showed that she was right next to Five when he got that scar and the vision then changed to her cleaning the cut.

"If you keep staring at me like that, I will pour this peroxide down your damn eyes"

"I can't do this" "Do what?" "Pretend that we are just friends. I think about you all the time. Do you ever think about me?" "All the time"

Jane snapped back to reality when she heard the sound of chains rattling was heard.

"If what you're saying is true, I'd be talking to a man well into his sixties. Now, if you two excuse me, I've had a very long day" Pogo said and turned around to leave.

"Pogo, you need to listen to me" Five said and the two was about to walk after him but the birker blocked their way as they surrounded them.

"I think is time for you to go home to Mommy, little guy" a guy said as Pogo left.
