"I'm sorry—Am I the only one that's sceptical here? I mean, how exactly do you know all of this about what's his name?" Allison said and Prime narrowed her eyes to Five who seemed to be groaning

"I'm sorry—Am I the only one that's sceptical here? I mean, how exactly do you know all of this about what's his name?" Allison said and Prime narrowed her eyes to Five who seemed to be groaning.

"Harold Jenkins," He said sounding a little pained.

"Five?"

Prime asked quietly and he looked at her waving it off," Just from the fall, just sore" He said and She hesitated but didn't question further as he spoke," You know those lunatics in masks who attacked the house"

Klaus scratched his head, "OH yeah, I think I remember those guys"

"How could I forget, they shot me four times" Prime seethed angrily

"Yeah, the ones that attacked us while you were getting drunk," said Diego

He just shook his head," Yeah, them, they were sent by the Temps Commission to stop me from coming back - and preventing the end of life on Earth"

"The Temps what?" said Allison confused

"My former employer—they monitor all of time and space to make sure that whatever is supposed to happen happens. They believe the apocalypse is coming in three days, So I went to Commission headquarters and intercepted a message that was meant for said lunatics "Protect Harold Jenkins" So he must be responsible for the apocalypse"

"What do you mean, protect time and space?" Allison said

"Where is this Hazel—Five?" said Diego

"My skin is on fire" added by Klaus

"Do you have any idea - how insane this sounds?" Allison whined

Prime looked at Five as the four kept throwing questions and noticed he was looking down his stomach again but then shot his head up," You know what else is insane? I look like a 13-year-old boy. Klaus talks to the dead, and Luther thinks he's fooling everybody with that overcoat. Everything about us is insane"

"It always has been" Prime summed up

"They got a point there" Klaus spoke

"We didn't choose this life, we're just living it. For the next three days, anyway" Five specified

"But the last time we tried to stop it, we all died. Why is this time any different? Why shouldn't I go home to my daughter?"

"Because Five is here, that's why and he has the name of the man supposedly responsible," Prime said stepping forward as they all shared looks as Five sighed

"Guys, we actually have the chance of saving the lives of billions of people—Including Claire"

"You know her name?" Allison said baffled

"I do, and I'd like to live long enough to meet her," said Five and almost immediately Allison agreed

"All right, Let's get this bastard"
