"Discipline. That's what you need to learn" Diego said to Stan as they were walking through the hotel hallways "When I was your age, I was up at dawn, all right? I was training, honing my skills. The biggest thing" Diego said before he stopped in the middle of the hallway, turning Stan to him "I was becoming a real man" he said "Right. Is that why you wear those tight pants?" Stan asked.
Then the door to the bathroom opened and Lila stepped out "Lila" Diego said as he walked over to her "Hmm?" Lila asked "You need to take this kid with you" he said as he pointed back at Stan.
But then Five and you walked out of the bathroom, holding a briefcase each
"The hell were you doing in there?" Diego asked him "Bathing" Lila answered "Together?" Diego asked before he looked at you and Five "Are you two trying a threesome now?" he asked "Oh, okay" Five said as he rolled his eyes "Diego, we don't have time for this. Lila, Y/n and I have got some important shit to do" he said before you and him walked passed Stan and Lila followed after the two of you "Wait. What's more important than family?" Diego asked as he walked after the two with Stan behind him "End of the world, genius" you said as you walked down the hall.
You and Five stopped in front of the elevator and Five sat the briefcases down for a moment to press the button "Lila?" Diego asked as he grabbed her arm "What's more important than us?" he asked "There is no us, Diego" she said before the sound of the elevator bell dinged and Five picked up the briefcases as the door to the elevator opened before you and him stepped into the elevator.
"Come here" Diego said dragging Lila closer to him "What do you mean?" Diego asked her "Look, for you, it's been a couple days. For me, it has been over a decade. I've moved on. I've slept with many, many people. Many. The only relationship we have left is the one with our child. So you better not screw that up" she said before she turned around and walked into the elevator where you and Five was waiting.
"Wait! What am I supposed to do with him, huh? I got important shit going on too!" Diego shouted "I doubt that. Figure it out, Diego. Be a dad" Lila said before the elevator's doors closed.
"How many is 'many people'?" Diego asked "Way more than you, Papi" Stan said and Diego glanced at Stan causing Stan to let out a gasp before he bolted off down the hallway as Diego chased after him.

While Lila went to change clothes you and Five enter your bedroom.
"So what is the plan?" you asked "Lila and I have to work together to get one of the briefcase to work so we can go to The Commission, so I can talk to Herb" he said "Great then I'm coming with you" you said "No" he said "Why not?" you asked "It can be dangerous" he said "I don't care Five. It's you and me. We're in this together, so I'm going, beside you might need my help and also I don't trust leaving you with Lila alone after she tried to kill you" you said "She also tried to kill you too. She almost did" he said "Still I'm coming and you can't stop me" you said.
