"Hold on. Hold the phone. We all died fighting this thing the first time around. Remember?" Klaus said.

"Klaus, shockingly, has a point. What gives us the win this time?" Diego asked as he put Talia down behind the counter. Suddenly a flash of blue appeared along with five, who landed on the counter holding a brief case. Diego hid Talia behind him as he held up his knife ready for an attack.

"You guys, am I still high, or do you see him, too?" Klaus asked and everyone put their guards down.

"Five, where have you been?" Luther asked.

"Are you alright?" Allison asked as she and Luther helped him up.

"Who did this?"

"Irrelevant." He said before limping away and taking a swig of alcohol. "So, the apocalypse is in three days. The only chance we have to save our world is, well, us."

"The umbrella academy." Luther muttered.

"Yeah, but with me, obviously. So if y'all don't get your sideshow act together and get over yourselves, we're screwed. Who cares if dad messed us up? Are we gonna let that define us? No. And to give us a fighting chance to see next week, I've come back with a lead. I know whose responsible for the apocalypse. This is who we have to stop." He said as he handed the paper to Allison. Talia and Diego walked over with the rest of the group to see what it said.

"Harold Jenkins?" Allison read.

"Who the hell is Harold Jenkins?" Diego asked, but even five only knew so much.

"I don't know...yet. But I do know that he's responsible for the apocalypse. So we have to find him. And we have to do it now."

"How is he connected to what's gonna happen?" Luther asked.

"I don't know."

"Wait, so you just know his name? That's it?"

"That's enough."

"There's probably dozens of Harold Jenkins' in the city."

"Well, we better start looking, then."

"I'm sorry. Am I the only one that's skeptical here?" Allison asked.

"Nope. I mean, how exactly do you know all of this about what's his name?" Talia asked.

"Harold Jenkins. You know those lunatics in masks who attacked the house?"

"Oh, yeah, I think I remember those guys."

"Yeah, the ones that attacked us while you were getting drunk."

"Yeah, the ones that were trying to kill you in that retail store and I got shot because you needed a stupid mannequin."

"That was your choice." Five said pointing to Talia.

"Be glad I made it cause you'd be dead if I didn't."

"Whatever. They're were sent by the temps commission to stop me from coming back and preventing the end of life on earth."

"The temps what?"

"My former employer. They monitor all of time and space to make sure that whatever is supposed to happen...happens. They believe the apocalypse is coming in three days. So I went to commission headquarters and intercepted a message that was meant for said lunatics. 'Protect Harold Jenkins.' So he must be responsible for the apocalypse." The group stood in silence as they absorbed all the information.
