"This all sounds like Alex was given an unjust punishment. I mean getting kicked off the team for stuff we did all the time as kids seems pretty harsh," Five said as Pogo had finished explaining Alex's story.

"Unfortunately it's not so simple number five. A Lot of things changed after you disappeared. The Phoenix academy wasn't just a group of young superheroes, it was a brand, and what Alex did jeopardised that brand. Your father lost quite a lot after that incident which is why Alex was exempt from participating in other missions," Pogo explained

"Are you alright number five, you seem preoccupied?"

"Yeah, it's nothing,"

After his chat with Pogo, Five decided that something to drink would do him some good and he blinked to the kitchen.

"Where's Lex?" Fei asked as she joined Five and Klaus in the kitchen.

"Oh, I'm pretty sure he left," Klaus responded, resting his feet on the table.

"He said he wanted to get out of everyone's hair," Five added as he picked up an empty coffee pot.

"An entire square block. Forty two bedrooms, nineteen bathrooms but no, not a single drop of coffee," Five said, slamming the empty pot on the table.

"Diego hates Caffeine, he says it's alcohol for pussies," Fei replied.

"I'm taking the car," Five proclaimed.

"Where are you going?" Klaus asked curiously.

"To get a decent cup of coffee," Five responded.

"Do you even know how to drive?" Fei asked

"Don't let my looks fool you number three, I know how to do everything," Five sneered before blinking out of the kitchen.

"I feel like we should try and stop him but then again, I also just kinda want to see what happens," Klaus said, standing up from his seat right before the two siblings heard a car drive away outside.

"Alright guys, lights out. We got that meeting tomorrow," Diego said, walking into the kitchen and taking a bite of an apple.

"Seriously? Our missing brother just returned after 45 years in the future and you're worried about the meeting tomorrow," Fei said.

"You know sis, I'm really starting to question your dedication to this team. I mean first you keep trying to get us to welcome Zero back with open arms which isn't gonna happen by the way. And now, it's like you don't even care about the new deal," Diego said, playing with one of his knives

"Of course I care. It's just we have priorities. And what's your problem with Alex? You kill people all the time," Fei responded

"Damn it Fei, he did it in public!" Diego yelled, launching his knife at the wall.

"With camera's rolling. And what he did to those people was way worse than killing them," Number 2 added.

"It was an accident, Unlike what you do," Fei rebutted.

Diego was going to say something but he backed down.

"You know what. I don't care anymore. Do what you want. Just make sure you do it as a civilian and not one of us," Diego said as he rubbed his temples.

"Come on Klaus," Diego called as he left the kitchen, taking his knife out of the wall on his way out. Klaus groaned but ended up following his brother.
