(Everyone sat in the living room. Diego and Lila were on chairs while Luther, Allison, Five and Y/n sat on the couch and Klaus on the floor and Claire, Grace and the twins sat in front of the TV while the nutcracker played.)
Luther: Hey, has anyone heard from Viktor?
Klaus: Maybe he found Ben and Jennifer.
Y/n: Do we know for sure he went after Ben and Jennifer?
Allison: Surely he would've called, left a message.
Y/n: Would he?
Allison: Maybe not.
Klaus: So we all struck out? God, what a bunch of losers.
(Y/n patted Klaus on the shoulder.)
Luther: Well, not entirely.
(Luther looks over at Diego and holds his fist out to fist bump Diego which he does.)
Y/n: What did you two do?
Luther: Deputy Director Ribbons is a Keeper, along with other agents at the CIA.
Y/n: (turns to Five.) Your boss? That explains why he didn't want you looking further into the Keepers.
Five: How do you know that?
Y/n: (tilts her head.) Do you keep forgetting I have a castle with a looking portal connected to earth?
Five: Oh, right.
Diego: Turns out Gene and Jean also have a bigger movement that we thought.
Y/n: How much bigger?
Diego: A lot.
Y/n: That doesn't help.
Luther: So, we have to get Ben and Jennifer before they do and stop the Cleanse.
Allison: Right, but we have to find them first.
Luther: Yeah, right, they could be anywhere.
Klaus: We gotta find 'em.
Y/n: I could take a trip to my castle. Track them down through the looking portal.
Five: How long would that take?
Y/n: There and back, About 2 hours.
Diego: That could work.
(The room goes quite for a second and Luther looks at Five.)
Luther: What's with you? You've said a total of what, 10 words since you've gotten here?
Five: So?
Luther: You're barely talking, when does that ever happen.
Five: It's called thinking, Luther. You should try it sometime.
Luther: Hey!
Klaus: Whoa! Uncalled for!
Five: Shut up.
Luther: I do think. I think you're an asshole!
Klaus: Grandpa's not had his nap.
Allison: Can we not do this right now?
(Five standup and faces everyone.)
Five: No, you know what? Let's do it right now.
