"Holy shit," Five stretched as he woke up, "I think I love retirement."
"It is pretty great when you're in the body of a seventeen year old," Jenna sat up next to him, yawning awake, "If we were old, like physically old, I don't think this would even feel worth it."
"Well, I'm with you either way, so it's always worth it," He placed a light kiss on her cheek.
"Awe, how sweet, but if we were both old right now, we'd be divorced and not sitting in bed together naked," She fired back.
"Still on about that," he chuckled, shaking his head playfully, "Well, let's get dressed and get on with our first official day of retirement, shall we?"
"Oh, we shall. I'm so excited!"

Jenna and Five both got dressed in actual casual clothes and made their way down to the lobby for breakfast. For the first time in what felt like decades, Jenna wore her favorite Led Zeppelin band T paired with a lovely pair of jeans and her Members Only jacket from Steve. She couldn't contain her smile as she made her way downstairs with her husband. It was literally a dream come true for her.
"Diego?" Jenna asked as she overheard Klaus and him talking about a kid, "You're a dad!?"
"Yes, unfortunately," He rolled his eyes and took a bite of his food, a grumpy scowl forming on his lips as he chewed.
"Wait, who's..." Five scrunched up his face, "Who's the mother?"
"Lila," He sighed.
"You got it on with Lila!?" Jenna's eyes widened, "I knew you'd been together, but I didn't think you two had gone all the way!"

"Whoa, Lila's here?" Five's attention was immediately grabbed at the mention of her name.
"Was," Diego complained, "She dropped him off in my lap last night then bolted."
"I don't much care for that one," Klaus tutted, thinking about Lila.
"Don't," Diego threatened.
"Hey," Jenna reasoned, "She's technically family... like me, and you love me, Klausy."
"Well, you weren't trying to murder us, like, yesterday now were you Jenna?" Klaus sassed.
"Not actively, but given the chance, yes," Jenna patted him on the shoulder, "It's family, what else do you expect?"

"Diego, is she coming back?" Five questioned his brother, ignoring Jenna and Klaus entirely.
"Well, she goddamn better be because we got more important things to be dealing with right now!" Diego snapped.
"Shut the hell up," Jenna smacked his arm before yelling to Five, "Grab me another orange juice, please, Sweetie!"
"On it!" He yelled back, "Want a mimosa instead? We're retired."
"Nope, just the regular juice please."
"Whatever. I thought I would offer."
"Where's Luther?" Vanya walked up with a new haircut.
"Who cares?" Diego shrugged, "Probably out for... a run."
"Mmm," Klaus finished taking a sip of his coffee, "Love the haircut."
"So I, uh, talked to Marcus last night," Vanya tucked her hands in her pockets.
"Wait, what?" Diego's head shot up, "You talked with the enemy? By yourself?"
"Somebody had to do something," Vanya reasoned.
"Who elected you, Vanya?" Diego crossed his arms over his chest.

"It's, uh, Viktor," He corrected.
"Who's Viktor?" Diego asked.
"I am," He smiled, "It's who I've always been."
"Congrats!" Jenna stood up and hugged him, "I'm glad you told us. Oooh, and my nickname still works!"
Viktor looked up to see his siblings giving him unreadable looks, "Is that an issue for any of you?"
"Nah, I'm good with it," Diego nodded to himself.
"Yeah, me too," Klaus smiled, "Cool."
"Truly happy for you, Viktor," Five said as Jenna sat back down beside him, "But last time I checked, you don't speak for this family."
"Okay, well, it's fine, okay?" Viktor tried to defend himself, "Marcus totally gets it. He doesn't want a war any more than we do."
"What are you talking about?" Diego exclaimed, "He tried to homicide us!"
"So did Lila, and you had a kid with her," Klaus pointed out.
"That's not the point!" Diego snapped.

"Listen," Viktor calmed everyone down, "We made a deal. He's going to give back Five's briefcase, then we're gonna get out of the timeline. We're gonna meet later today for the, uh, the handover."
"Oh, thank god," Klaus clapped.
"That's a rookie move," Diego said, disappointment coating his tone, "Dude is playing you."
"Oh, really?" Viktor raised an eyebrow, almost challenging his brother.
"Yeah, but maybe we can use this. And we turn it back on them, and then we wipe them the hell out."
"Diego, stop, please. And you're not gonna, like, do anything today."
"Except bond with your spawn," Klaus laid a hand on his back.
"Alleged spawn," Diego grumbled.
"I'll go say hi to my alleged nephew then," Jenna stood up and walked over to introduce herself to Diego's kid.
