72} The Phoenix Academy And Finding Dave

"Mr. Five," Five's boss, Lance, addressed him with a grumpy scowl, "I thought you said you had this situation under control."
"The situation is proving more kinetic than anticipated," Five sighed and gestured for Jenna to join him, "And sir, this is my wife, Jenna."
"Oh, wow," Lance blinked a few times at Jenna and quickly shot his hand out in front of him to shake hers, "So you do exist. I'm glad you found her, Five."
"Me too, boss," He kissed her temple and pulled her into his side after she shook Lance's hand.
"Back to the scenario at hand," Lance groaned, "It looks like the Texas Tentacle Massacre out here. Okay, I need to know who's responsible for this bloodbath."
"Well, sir, I do have a few leads, but I need a favor before I can follow up."
"I'm listening."

"Okay, you see these two idiots over there?" He pointed to Luther and Diego, "Those are my brothers. Now, they're kinda stepping all over the crime scene, asking dumb questions, getting in my way. Do you mind taking 'em back to HQ? You know, show 'em around. Maybe let them hold some guns."
"You're asking me to babysit."
"You want the case solved, right?" Jenna blurted out, "We- he can't help if tweedle dumb and tweedle dumber are smearing everything around."
"You're lucky that she's compelling," Lance pointed at Jenna, "You owe me, Five."

"Yes!" Jenna pumped her fist in the air before yelling over her shoulder, "Batman! King Kong! Get your asses over here! Five wants to introduce you to his boss!"
"This is Deputy Director Lance Ribbons," Five introduced Lance to his brothers and walked away with Jenna once the two took their places.
"Thank you for that," Five whispered to her.
"No worries, I know that people tend to like me more than you," She grinned.
"You haven't changed one bit."
"Nope. Haven't had the time to. Now, let's get Lila so we can do this quickly. I don't wanna be down there longer than I have to be. It's a confusing, shithole, time travel maze."
"We'll be fast, I promise."
"That's what she said."
"Again, you really haven't changed at all."

"Alright, shit birds," Lila approached them with a wide smile, "Let's get this show on the road, shall we?"
Together, all three of them blinked into the subway.
"Okay," Five walked up to the turnstiles, "Do exactly what we did last time. Just ride one stop eastbound. Go up to the apocalypse timeline. Avoid getting killed, and warp back to 2006. Stop Ben from ever going on the Moldovan mission. Got that everyone?"
"Wait, which stop are you talking about?" Jenna stopped him.
"One stop east from here, Jen."
"I don't think that's the right one, Five."
"Jenna," Lila placed her hands on Jenna's shoulders, "You worry about being pregnant, we'll worry about navigation, okay?"
"No, not okay," Jenna shrugged her hands off of her shoulders, "I've traveled to almost every station down here and it's not that simple."
"Relax, you little booger. We'll be fine. I'm not a total idiot, you know. It's a rookie time travel mission"
"Fine," Jenna sighed, "We'll go with your plan. It's very wrong, just to remind you."

"Yes, we've got that, Jenna," Lila sighed, "Thank you. Now, time travel wise, I don't get this whole subway thing. I'm more of a DeLorean kind of person."
"Here," Jenna stopped by her little makeshift bed and grabbed her bag along with a marked-up map, "Lila, take this."
"Ooooh, a map," She looked it over, licking her lips with a shit-eating grin, "Cool. Nice home, by the way. Kinda cozy from the looks of it."
"Thanks," Jenna pushed by her and got on the train, "You guys coming or not?"

They both reluctantly followed and the doors shut right behind them, the train taking off immediately afterwards. After a brief moment of travel, the train reached its stop with a backwards voice speaking overhead on the PA.
"Okay," Five looked around as he stepped off, "Broken vending machine. Australia. Three burnt-out light bulbs."
"See?" Lila slapped his shoulder, "Your poetry book came in handy."
"Eww," Jenna frowned, "I don't like this timeline."
"Well," Five ignored her, "Knowing me, I probably set a trap so be careful."
"Or I can just go talk to him," Jenna suggested, "All versions of Five love me."
