Lila: Did you find something, love? 

Diego: Oh, I found something.

(Y/n gets up first and walks over to Diego, trying to see what he found.)

Diego: Something that's gonna blow this case wide open. 

(Lila and Five walk over to join Diego and Y/n to see what Diego was talking about.)

Five: Okay...

(Five reaches out his hand and Diego hands him the file.)

Five: Let's see. 

(Y/n looks over Five's shoulder and starts reading the document. It looked like a police report but half the words were in Romanian. The document said the subject of the incident was a women named Jennifer with her last name blacked out, Date of Birth: 05-08-1987, place of birth: not determined, 2 victims, Date of report: 10/14/2006. Underneath that it said "Incident: Jennifer. Casualties: 2 Umbrella Academy 10/14/2006.)

Y/n: The Umbrella Academy? 

Five: That's impossible. There was no Umbrella Academy in 2006. 

Diego: Not in this timeline. 

Y/n: In our original timeline there was. 

Lila: It must be one of Gene and Jean's artifacts.

Diego: Keep reading.

Five: October 14th , 2006.  

Y/n: Oh my god.

Lila: Wait, what's so special about October 14th, 2006.

Diego: That's the day Ben died. 

Y/n: Our Ben. 

Five: That's a coincidence.

Y/n: Doubt it. 

Diego: Let me break it down for you. A random dry cleaner shows up out of the blue and hires us to go to New Grumpson, Maine, to rescue a girl named Jennifer. The whole town goes to shit, we get t-boned, and the girl gets kidnapped by 2 vigilantes in a station wagon. Now, in their trash, we find a foreign document that has something to do with Ben's death.

(He sits down on the chair that is at the desk.)

Diego: Hence 

(He kicks his feet up while Lila and Five are looking at the document and Y/n is looking at him, waiting for him to get to the point. He pauses and Lila and Five look up.)

Diego: Whatever is going on with Jennifer, it's got something to do with Ben. Ipso facto, mofos. Bet you regret not sending in that resume, huh? 

(Five roles his eyes.)

Y/n: Jeez, men are petty. 

Lila: Tell me about it. Now what the hell's the "Jennifer Incident"?

Y/n: The tragic accident that resulted in Ben's death.  I don't know the details. It happened after Five and I ran away.
