“Hate to be the boring one, guys, but uh, it’s time we get the hell out of here,” Lila pointed out, walking away.

Five turned in disgust, “When you say ‘we’, who exactly are you referring to?”

“Not a lot of ambiguity in that sentence,” she sighed.

But Five didn't give up on his strong dislike for the woman, “Listen, I don't know who you are or where you came from, but whatever it is, I’d advise you to return posthaste.”

Diego then stepped forwards, looking around, “She’s right, Five. We gotta get outta here.”

But the woman didn't thank him, still looking in annoyance, “I just saved your life, you kinder-shit. If I hadn't stepped in, all that would be left of you is a blazer and some bloody socks.”

“And that’s the problem. You're too good. You ask too many questions,” Five continued, “You know too much. And you fight like you know what you're doing.”

“You also didn't question us using powers, you didn't even bat an eyelid,” Mila added on.

Diego also nodded, “They've got a point.”

“So I know how to handle myself, and that makes me the bad guy?” She asked, still in disbelief.

“Whoever you are, you're in my way. If I see you again, I will kill you,” he threatened before walking away.

Lillith looked as he walked past, before looking back at Lila, “Seems a tad bit dramatic. I’m really confused.”

Mila then realised that was her queue to walk after Five, leaving Diego, Lillith and Lila. 

Lila then started walking after him, “Guys we need to go.”

Lillith realised it was kind of a personal moment that was going to happen after Diego squeezed her hand slightly, so she walked after the two teenagers.

Diego then walked away without Lila following, running into the woods along with everyone else.

For some reason they trusted Luther to cook– never again.

“No, no, no I don't understand. They  keep following me,” Diego complained, pacing back and forth.

“Wait, who?” Luther asked.

“Those Dutch sociopaths.”

Five rolled his eyes, “They're Swedish, you idiot. Hired guns paid to eradicate us before we do any more damage to this timeline.”

“Can't they just send us back to our timeline?” Lillith asked, thinking it was completely reasonable.

Mila sighed, “That’s not exactly how it works.

“Yeah, but why now? I mean, I’m. . .” he snapped his fingers aggressively. “. . .fine for three months until you show up.”

“Yeah, I was here for a year and no one messed with me,” Luther added.

Lillith also added her own perspective, “To be fair I was here for five years and no one tried to kill me.”

“Yeah, I didn't have very many serious death threats,” Mila said, hers being a lot more concerning. She still apparently had death threats.

Five sighed, “Even if it was my fault, which it isn't, we only have six days before the end of the world, and the closest anyone’s gotten to Dad was that driveway at the consulate.”
