Viktor: Forget about saving the world. I just spent 5 years building a life for myself. A real life. A normal life. Away from all this, away from dad, away from our past. (Viktor turns around, facing his siblings.) I know most of us have been too. (Turns to Y/n) And Y/n, don't get me wrong, I'm so glad you're back and I can't wait to catch up with you.
Y/n: Don't worry. I understand. I'm pissed at him too. (Viktor turns back to Ben.)
Viktor: You had to fuck it all up with one sake bomb!
(The room went silent and Five grabbed Y/n's hand, partly to make sure she was still there and another for comfort as everyone else just stared at Ben and Viktor.)
Ben: Look, I was trying to help.
Luther: No, no.no. Viktor's right. None of us asked for this. I could have lost my job.
Five: Did you?
Luther: Well, actually, no. My boss bumped me up from brunch buffet to prime time and I have been booked in Atlantic City next weekend. But Still!
(Ben pats Luther on the chest and walks past him and goes to Allison in hopes he can get some support from her.)
Ben: Come one, Allison. You can't tell me you're a little bit glad to have your powers back after all these years?
Alliosn: Why would I be, Benjamin? Why would I want my powers back?
Ben: Maybe you can rumor your way out of those corny-ass laundry commercials you do and finally get off the B-list.
(Ben starts laughing like a maniac and every stares at him in a mix of confusion and concern, and when it comes to Y/n, a hint of entertainment. When he finishes laughing, he puts a hand in the air, waiting for someone to high-five him but no one does.)
Allison: The B-list? Excuse me? I am the face of a national campaign, something that I made happen out of nothing while you were too busy playing backgammon with Bernie Madoff.
Klaus: Tell him sister.
Y/n: The question remains, Ben. Why did you think you were helping them by giving back there powers after they said they didn't want them back?
