"WE SURVIVED ON scraps, canned food, cockroaches, anything we could find" Five chuckles "you know the rumour that twinkies have an endless shelf life?" Quincey asks Vanya, who nods. "Yea, well it's total bullshit" Five finished.

Quincey took a long sip of her coffee, she felt the warm feeling take over her insides. "I can't even imagine" Vanya told them solemnly "you do whatever it takes to survive, or you die. So we adapted"
"Whatever the world threw at us, we found a way to over come it"

"Got anything stronger?" Quincey asked. Vanya looks through the cupboards in her kitchen, before pulling out an unopened alcohol bottle. She poured a glass for Five and a glass for Quincey.

They both take a sip simultaneously. "You think we're crazy" Five said with a light scoff. "N-no, it's just...it's a lot to take in" Vanya stammered "exactly what don't you understand?" Five asked his sister.

"Why didn't you just time travel back?" Vanya asked. Five scoffs "gee, wish I thought of that" Quincey began to zone out their conversation, she felt like she was doing this a lot recently. She felt like if she listened to their conversations or stayed in their house, Fives family would get mad and suddenly not like her. She felt that if she was near them too much they would snap at her and tell her to go away or they would use their powers on her. She thought that if those things happened, five would take their side.

Quincey was snapped out of her thoughts when five took the drink out of her hand and placed it on the table, he then took her hand in his and walked to the door "you're too young, too naive to understand" he says to Vanya "no. Five...Five, wait"

Five and Quincey turn back around to face Vanya "I haven't seen you in a long time and I don't want to lose you again. That's all. And you know what, it's getting late, and I have lessons early and I need to sleep, and I'm sure you do too"

Vanya pulls the blanket off the back of the couch and fold its for Five and Quincey to sleep. "Here"
"We'll talk in the morning again. Okay? I promise" Vanya smiles lightly then walks to her room "night"

"Night" they both reply. Five sits down on the couch, Quincey not far behind, she rests her head on his shoulder "so what are we going to do?" Quincey asks the boy as he pulls out the prosthetic eye he found in the future. "We can't stay here tonight" Five rests his head a top of hers.

Five pockets the eye and stands up, reaching his hand to pull her up also. The two of them walk to the door and try to make the least amount of noise they can. The two of them head back to the academy.

"Can't we just teleport there?" Quincey asks, her hand still gripping onto Fives "nah, I'd prefer to talk to you" he smiled at her "what do you want to talk about?" She smiled back at him. "I don't know. Anything really"
"What about, how are we going to stop this thing?" The girl asked "tomorrow, we go to the lab that made the eye and see if we can see who it belongs to"

The time travelers walk down the street, hand in hand, talking about anything and everything. Feeling like, for the first time, they have nothing to worry about. Although they know that's not true, the relief they felt when talking about something other than the apocalypse or saving the world, or just simply being in each other's company. The two best friends had been through so much and just after a simple conversation, they stress they had felt lessened.
