"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, "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."
"Awe, how sweet, but if we were both old right now, we'd be divorced and not sitting in bed naked."
"Still on about that. 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.
"Diego?" Jenna asked as she overheard Klaus and him talking about a kid, "You are a dad?"
"Yes, unfortunately," He rolled his eyes and took a bite of his food.
"Wait, who's..." Five scrunched up his face, "who's the mother?"
"Lila."
"You got it on on with Lila!?" Jenna's eyes widened.
"Whoa, Lila's here?" Five jumped.
"Was," Diego complained, "She dropped him off in my lap last night then bolted."
"I don't much care for that one," Klaus voiced his opinion.
"Don't," Diego threatened.
"Hey," Jenna reasoned, "She's technically family... like me, and you love me."
"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.
"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! Want a mimosa instead? We're retired."
"Nope, just the regular juice please."
"Whatever you want."
"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."
"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?"

"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!"

"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 sounded disappointed, "Dude is playing you."
"Oh, really?" Viktor didn't believe him.
"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," He defended.
"I'll go say hi to my alleged nephew then," Jenna stood up and walked over to Diego's kid.

"Hi," Jenna sat down next to him, "I'm your Aunt Jenna."
"I'm Stan. Why are you so young? You look too young to be my aunt."
"My husband over there," She pointed to Five, "Did this. I'm not complaining, though."
"Whoa, you're married!?"
"Yeah, I debate getting divorced everyday, though."
"So, are you my dad's sister or mom's?"
"Your dad's brother's wife. Five is your dad's brother."
"Cool. Wanna hang out later? My dad won't do shit with me."
"We'll see, but maybe. I think my husband has plans for the day, but if I have time we can totally go bowling later."
"Awesome! You're cool."
"Thank you! Now, I'm gonna go back with the adults. See ya later, kid!"
"Bye, Aunt Jenna!"
