Previous day
Five's Pov
I was standing there waiting for The Handler with Luther and Y/n when I heard an ice cream truck, we all turn and see it's Diego and Klaus.

"What the hell is he doing here?" I ask directed towards Klaus and earn no answer, Klaus drives into Hazel and Cha-cha and they start shooting at us, but before anything actually hits us everything freezes. I got out from behind Luther and look around.

"Neat trick isn't it." I heard a very familiar voice say and I turn around and see her in all of her annoying glory. She took off her veil and sunglasses placing them in the pocket of her coat.

"Hello, Five. You look good, all things considered. It's good to see you again. Feels like we met just yesterday. Course you were a bit older then. Congratulations, on the age regression, by the way. Threw us all off the scent." The Handler said and I never understood how she was so calm in a situation that would even scare me, but I guess she could just act, who knows.

"Ah, well, I wish I could take all of the credit. I just miscalculated the time dilation projections, and... well, you know. Here I am." I said gesturing towards myself and then put my hands back into my pockets.

"You realize your efforts are futile. So why don't you tell me what you really want?" She said and I was surprised but didn't show it, so I paused even though I already knew the answer.

"I want you to put a stop to it," I said with my hands behind my back and looking at her expectantly, but she looked at me as if for confirmation.

"You realize what you're asking for is next to impossible, even for me. What's meant to be is meant to be. That's our raison d'etre." She said and I pulled my gun out of my pocket and point it towards her.

"Yeah? Well, how about survival as a raison." I said threateningly but she just looked at me calmly and with her usual smile that pissed me off.

"I'll just be replaced. I'm but a... small cog in a machine." She said then started walking closer to me as I stiffened.

"This fantasy you've been nurturing about summoning up your family to stop the apocalypse... is just that. A fantasy. I must say though, we're all quite impressed with your initiative, your... stick-to-itivness, really quite... quite something. Which is why we want to offer you a new position back at the Commission, in management." She explained and I chuckled then looked at her.

"I'm sorry what?" I asked and she started walking closer to me and I shifted but stood my ground.

"Come back work for us again. You know it's where you belong." She said and I looked at her in amusement.

"Well, it didn't work out too well last time." I reasoned and she started reasoning with me.

"But you wouldn't be in the correction division any longer. I'm talking about... the home office. You'd have the best health and pension, and an end to this ceaseless travel. You're a distinguished professional in... schoolboy shorts. We have the technology to reverse this process. I mean, you... you can't be happy like this." She says pushing my gun down and I glanced at Y/n but quickly looked back at her.

"I'm not looking for happy," I said and she rubbed her thumb on my cheek and once she did I moved out of her grasp.

"We're all looking for happy," she said and I once again glanced quickly at Y/n.

"We can make that happen. We can make you... yourself again." She said pointing towards me and I looked around at everyone and sighed.

"And what about my family?" I say looking at her expectantly.

"what about them?" She says and looks at me annoyed and I did the same right back annoying her even further.

"I want them to survive," I said and she looked around then back at me.
