Five and Eliza had found their way to the local donut shop. "This place used to look so much better", she sighed. They took seats next to an adult at the counter. Soon an old woman, presumably a waitress, approached them. " what can I get you", she smiled. "I'll have a chocolate eclair", the man replied. " and what do the kids want. Milk or something", she continued. "This kid wants coffee. Black", five muttered. " you got any whiskey, if not then I'll take coffee too", Eliza smiled. The waitress gave the man a dirty look, after all, she thought he was some horrible dad who let his kids drink whiskey and get tattoos. Soon the man left and the two sat in silence, sipping coffee. Footsteps echoed behind them from unknown figures. "Shit", five muttered. " we can do this the easy way or the hard way. The boss wants to talk to you", one of the men holding guns stated. "I've got nothing to say", five smirked. Immediately they started firing their guns. Eliza turned into smoke and clouded around one of the guy's heads, after only a moment his eyes rolled into the back of his head and he passed out. She then grabbed a fork to stab another in the back of the neck. She turned to smoke so that she wouldn't be hurt and five jumped all about the place, making them shoot each other. The two laughed as they exited the shop.

  They found their way back to the academy at some point in the night. As they walked up the stairs Eliza asked, "who were those guys". Five shook his head and only laughed," accomplices of my, former employer". "Didn't think there would be many jobs in the apocalypse", Eliza replied, opening her bedroom door. " you'd be surprised, good night Liz", he smiled, retreating to his own room.
