(Five turns to his boss.)

Five: Sir?

Boss: Mr. Five, I thought you said you had this situation under control.

Five: Well, This situation is proving more kinetic than anticipated. 

Boss: No shit. We have the Texas Tentacle Massacre out here. Okay, I need to know who's responsible for this  bloodbath. 

Five: Well, sir, I do have a few leads, but I need a favor before I can follow up. 

Boss: (sighs) I'm listening. 

(Five looks behind him and his eyes find Luther and Diego quickly. Diego was just walking while Luther had an arm in one hand and a leg in other.)

Five: Okay, you see these two idiots over there? Those are my brothers. Now, they're kind of 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. 

Boss: You're asking me to babysit. 

Five: You want this case solved, don't you?

Boss: You owe me, Five. 

(Five calls out to Diego and Luther and his boss turns to look at Y/n.)

Boss: I don't believe you and I have met. 

Y/n: Y/n Hargreeves. (She sticks her hand out and he shakes it.) I'm Five's wife.

Boss: Deputy Director Lance Ribbons.(turns back to Five.) So this is the women you are always talking about. (Five nods.) Are you going to be able to focus with her here? 

Five: I do my best work when she's around. 

Boss: Good to know. (Luther and Diego finally make their way over to the 3 and Five starts to introduce them.)

Five: I want to introduce you to my boss, Deputy Director Lance Ribbons. 

(Diego and Luther go to greet Lance while Five and Y/n slip away.)

Y/n: They are going to cause choas.

Five: No doubt in my mind.
