Flashback start...
You and Five were in courtyard at the Academy by a large oak tree.
Five grabbed onto the branches, hoisting himself up and sitting on a stable one "No fair, I can't climb up" you whined "It's not that high up. Just a couple steps, you can do it" he encouraged.
You grabbed onto a branch, attempting to pull yourself up, but Five could see you were struggling.
"I--I can't" you sighed "Here, give me your hand, I'll pull you up" he reached out his hand, wrapping the other one around the branch.
You stared at him unease but grabbed his hand and he pulled you up with all the strength he had.
"There you go. You just climbed a tree" he smiled "You know what would be nice to have one day?" you asked "What?" he asked "A treehouse. Somewhere we could get away from all the chaos. It'd be our little sanctuary" your fingers interlocked with his and the two of you look at each other "I'd love to share a treehouse with you" he said before you both smiled.

"You want me to protect Five and Y/n?" Lila asked as her and The Handler was eating pancakes.
"It's not that complicated, honey" The Handler said "If anyone deserves to die, it's them" Lila said "That's true, but--" "The most wanted people in the Commission" Lila said, cutting The Handler off.
"Yes" The Handler said "Now you want me to protect them" Lila said "That's correct" The Handler said "After everything they have done to you? They are the reason you got demoted" Lila said "Be that as it may...they are worth more to me alive" The Handler said before she poured herself some wine in her glass.
"If you want to kill somebody why don't you kill Diego?" she asked and Lila shook her head "No" she said "You sure? I think it'll make you feel better" The Handler said "Nah" Lila said before taking a bite of her pancake.
"Suit yourself. Pass me more syrup, will you?" The Handler asked and Lila grabbed the syrup before she poured some syrup on The Handler's pancakes.
"By the way, I ran into some trouble at the asylum, during the escape" Lila said as The Handler poured some more syrup on her pancakes "These three blond guys. Total cowboys" Lila said and The Handler froze for a second before looking at Lila "They're here already?" she asked "Wait, you know those freaks?" Lila asked "Commission muscle. Triplets. Like Huey, Dewey, and Louie, only a little more meshugahs" The Handler said "You sent them?" Lila asked.
"Of course I did" The Handler answered "Why? They nearly killed me" Lila said "Well, they have to make it look good. Right? Otherwise, people might suspect that we're working together" The Handler said "So they know I'm on the job?" Lila asked "It's all a performance. Look, if they wanted you dead, you would've been long gone by now, little one" The Handler said "You need to stop calling me that" Lila said "Aww" The Handler said before getting up "Listen to me" she said as she walked over to Lila "No one is trying to kill you" she said as she stroke Lila down the cheek "We're all working towards the same goal" she said "Which is?" Lila asked "Well, that's the thing about the Commission, isn't it? Some things just don't make sense... until they do" The Handler said before she brushed Lila's bangs "I like the fringe" she said before she patted Lila on the head.
