"Allison, don't you dare touch that button! We don't know what it'll do!" The Phoenix stood up. But The Rumor continued to reach out to it. "Don't make me do this!" Dusk's hands set ablaze, two fireballs ready to be thrown. Allison turned around with a distrustful smile. "Do you trust me?" she asked. Dusk shook her head, those fireballs looked really friendly now. "Alli, I'm warning you..." she growled.

Allison's hand went one inch further, and that was when Dusk threw her balls of fire. But before they could make impact, everything went pitch black. "Guys?! Where are you?" Dusk called out. Suddenly something smashed up against her, and she couldn't identify who or what it was. "Hello?" She called again. "Dusk, we're here! All of us," Viktor responded. Everything started moving, and it felt like they were all stuck together in a cramped space. Then, two doors slowly opened, leading them into what appeared to be a garden.

They looked around at all the greenery, only able to be seen by the dim streetlights. As they stepped towards the center, they could see a metal mold of Reginald's head along with a plaque that read, Obsidian Memorial Park. Graciously donated by Sir Reginald Hargreeves on the 1st day of October 1989. "Dusk? H-how are you... you're still alive!" Klaus quivered with excitement, pulling his lover into his arms. "Yes, I'm alive. I'm okay," She assured.

Klaus wept happy tears at her return. He couldn't get the image of her turning to ash out of his head. It made him want to cry with grief all over again. But his fiery angel came back to him, to all of them. And it wasn't just her, but someone else as well. "Luther?" Viktor gasped as he stepped out of another elevator. "Oh shit, you can see me?" Luther questioned. They all nodded and ran to embrace him.

"Wait, that's not all, big guy!" Viktor gestured to his body. It had returned to normal, no longer a humanoid ape. Luther looked down and was just as surprised. The injured Umbrellas and Sparrows looked down at their wounds, shocked to see they had been healed. Diego's fingers came back, Dahlia's foot had reconnected with her leg, and the stab wound to Dusk's chest was gone.

"I got to show Sloane!" Luther said excitedly. But when he turned around, his wife was nowhere to be found. His face fell, and he looked to his siblings, asking if they had seen her. "She was right behind me when Allison hit that button," Klaus answered. "She's gone too," Diego noted. Five took notice of the leafy paths that lay before them, and Ben asked where they were now. "The Hotel. At least what's left of it," Lila responded.

Five looked down in realization, Reginald had reset the universe. "Hey, I don't care about any resets. I want my wife back. Where is she, Five?" Luther growled, grabbing Five by his suit. "I'm glad you're alive, but take your hands off me," Five spoke calmly. But Luther jerked Five towards him. "Not until you give me an answer,"

Realizing he'd had to blink his way out of the grasp, Five closed his eyes and tried to teleport over to Victoria. But when his eyes opened, he was still being held by Luther. He tried again, but still nothing. "Something's wrong," He muttered. "That's right. You're about to get your ass kicked!" Luther snarled. "No, you moron. My power, I can't blink," When Five said that, they all tried to summon their powers to no success.

Klaus could no longer summon ghosts, Diego could no longer throw knives with precision, and Dusk could no longer summon her inner phoenix. "Klaus, your tattoos," She whispered, noticing the Hello and Goodbye written on his hands were no longer there. "Aw, does this mean I'm mortal again?" he said disappointed. "How do we get them back?" Ben inquired. No one answered, there wasn't any way they could think of to get them back. Part of who they were had been snatched away. And all they were left with was their mortality and each other.

"I gotta... I gotta go find my wife," Luther shook his head, heading down one of the leafy paths. "I'm out bitches!" Ben snarled, he too walked down a separate path, Dahlia following right behind him. "What are we supposed to do?" Diego asked. Lila took her hand into his, "Live our lives?" she suggested. All that was left was Five, Victoria, Dusk, and Klaus. "This doesn't feel right..." Victoria sighed.

Dusk slowly nodded and grabbed her boyfriend's hand. "So, where do we go? What do we do?" the raven asked. Five shrugged his shoulders, his face emotionless. "Whatever we do, we need to stick together," the redhead stated. And with that, the two couples walked down the final path, hoping to find a solution to getting their lives back.
