Ashley's PoV

After the little run in with a few of Five's friends, we went to visit Vanya. Five thought she would be the best to speak to about this as she was 'ordinary'. While he was in the next room talking to her I managed to sneak a knife from the kitchen and excuse myself to the bathroom without suspiscon. I sat on the toilet seat with the knife on the sink. I then felt around my arms for a while until I found the lump. "Well this is going to hurt" I groan before taking the knife and slashing my arm. Ow Ow OW! I grab the little green tracker and throw it in the loo before grabbing a med kit and stitching myself up. It wasn't the neatest but it would heal the wound. Finally I flushed the toilet sending the tracker off on a fun waterslide, and washed all the blood off the knife. I looked around the bathroom checking to see if I had left anything and luckily everything was the way I had first found it. I exit the bathroom to see Vanya heading into her bedroom. "Oh, Night Vanya! Hope you sleep well!" I smile at her and give her a small wave and she returns the gesture before closing her door.

Five's PoV (OOOOOOOOH CHANGING IT UP)

I heard Ashley wish Vanya a good night and a door close. It was now just her and I left. I was wide awake, not really feeling like sleeping. I walked over to the window of the appartment and stared into the darkness for a while admiring the view of the old city. "Hmm Enjoying the view old timer?" I hear from behind me, probably shouldn't have told her about me being 58, she'll just use it against me, that reminds me... "I might be, Ashley can I ask you something?" I say walking over and taking her hands in mine. "Depends, will I like the question or not?" She chuckles, taking a seat bringing me down with her. "I'm not sure..." I say looking up at her admiring her face for a few seconds. She nodds as to say 'go on' "Earlier, when Luther said it had been 17 years, we both said it's been longer than that... What did you mean?" I ask unsure of her reaction. Ashley's eyes go wide and for a moment I worry that I have upset her. "I-I, when you disappeared Five I was in a very, very dark place. I tried everything I could to find you, even creating my own time travel device." She says pointing to her silver locket. "I hardly spoke for the next 3 years, Klaus tried his best to help me through it all but I guess I just never took his advice, I left the Academy the day after our 16th Birthday and didn't look back, buying my own appartment, I worked day and night trying to figure out where and when you were. When I created this [the locket] I was estatic, thinking I could finally see you again. I clicked the button and ended up... in Nazi Germany" She says putting her head in her hands clearly embarrassed, I rub her back to tell her it's alright. "I was stuck there for a year until I managed to get back to my timeline. Then the moment I got back I grabbed my pistol out my drawer, stole a car and drove right out into the middle of nowhere. I-I put the gun to my head ready to pull the trigger when suddenly time seemed to freeze. This woman, she came and offered me a job with her company" Hang on this sounds awful familiar... "I hesitantly took the job on the condition that... I would someday see you again. 34 years of my life I gave that company and I didn't get any closer to seeing you. So I tried to escape and three failed attempts later, here I am! Back home for Reggie's funeral. And I suppose in a way, I did see you again thanks to the commision didn't I" She says chuckling at the last part. "Oh Ash, I'm so sorry I left, I should have listened to Dad he was right! Oh god he was right. I wish I took you with me but at the same time, it would hurt more knowing I dragged you to the end of the world." I say hugging her more tightly than ever. "I'd go with you to the end of the world anyday Five, as long as we are together - " she starts but I cut her off. I feel so bad, we need to make up for lost time if only the world wasnt ending. "We will be, as long as I have a -" I pause. "What's wrong?" Ash says, a pained and worried look plastered on her face. "Did you say you worked for the commision?" I blurt out, It all makes sense now! The legend! The Ghost, It was Ashley!! All this time we could have been together and the commision denied us that! I swear that woman is dead...

We spent the rest of the night complaining about the commision and having a hundred and one epiffanies realising that she did this and I was responsible for that. It was good to have her back. We were sitting on a park bench and she was curled up leaning on my side, while I had my arm draped round her. We had bought late night Ice-Cream like the old days, After all those years I still remembered her favourite, strawberry a simple flavour for a not so simple girl. "Hang on, so if you were with them for 34 years and joined them when you were 16, thats makes you" I say licking my chocolate cone inbetween words, "correct I am 50 years old, and I still look stunning." She winks. "Question, did your body actually live to 58 or mentally 58?" She aks realising how weirdly she phrased it. I laugh "Yes I was an old man, no I did not look like Hargreeves and Yes I was rather wrinkily, why did you not live to 50?". "Nope, never made it past 16, the commision decided I worked best as a kid so kept me a kid." She shrugs before sneaking a lick of my Ice-Cream. "Hey! what happened to yours?" I shout sheilding it from anymore attacks. "I finished it" She says quietly. I look into her eyes and realise something. I burst out laughing "Hoi! What's so funny old man!" she yells pouting slightly in the process. "You have a chocolate nose Ash!" I smile leaning in to wipe it off with my thumb. Our eyes lock with each others and I find myself lost in her hazel orbs. I feel our faces getting closer and closer when suddenly, I feel her soft lips crash against mine. I kiss her back and savour every moment. As we break apart I can't help but grin as Ashley snatches away my Ice-Cream "Haha the number one distraction" she chortles. God how I've missed this girl.
