We all gathered back at Monty's. We all saw on the tv that we are wanted. Well except Klaus he was upstairs. I had changed back into my mission suit considering we are about to take some action.
'Vanya Hargreeves, wanted in connection with the deaths of several FBI agents inside the federal building at Dealey Plaza. A Cuban exile known only as Diego...'
"Cuban?" Diego asked.
'...who recently escaped from the Holbrook Sanitarium. A bare-knuckle boxer with suspected Madia ties who fights under the alias King Kong. Allison Chestnut, a ***** radical responsible for instigating and organizing the recent riots at Stadtler's lunch counter. Scarlett Hargreevs, who broke her contract with the US military and refused direct orders to stop the ******. Instead she helped the ****** at the riots. And believed to be related to Vanya. And finally, Klaus, the controversial cult leader and known tax evader. The FBI is asking the public to be on the lookout for this unidentified boy, who they believe is being held hostage by the suspected terrorist network...'
"Well, it's true. I do feel like I'm being held hostage most days."
"We didn't ask you to come back for us Five. You could have just let us die in the apocalypse." I said. Though it sounded mean it's just facts.
"God, I hate that photo." Diego said.
"They're saying I instigated the riot? That's unbelievable." Allison scoffed.
"Look, the good news is that we restored the timeline and we stopped doomsday. So..." Luther said.
"Yeah, a bunch of real goddamn heroes. We let Kennedy die." Diego said.
"Yeah, and now we're officially the most wanted people in the world. The FBI is after us, the Dallas police, the military, the Secret Service. I mean it's only a matter of time before they hunt us down here." Allison said as Klaus came walking down the stairs putting a vest on.
"Well, where are we supposed to go?" Vanya asked.
"I have this yurt just outside Reykjavik. We could totally lay low there. Folks there are a little weird, but lovely. Welcoming..."
"Hey, numbnuts. Hiding's not gonna make a difference here. The Commission will hunt us down wherever and whenever we go." Five said interrupting Klaus.
"He's right. They'll never stop." Diego said.
"I'm sorry, since when are you an expert on the Commission?" Five asked.
"Since I got back from there."
"What?" Five asked.
"Yeah, they headhunted me, offered me a job. Full time with benefits, which I had to turn down."
"They headhunted you...the village idiot." Five said. I backhanded his chest.
"What, am I not allowed to be headhunted? Only the almighty Five needs to be in demand?"
"Diego, you're not Commission material, all right? Got an obstinate nature to ya."
"Who do you think it was that figured out Vanya was the one that causes doomsday and stopped it? Me."
"Hey!" Klaus said.
"That's who. I figured it all out on the Infinite Switchboard."
"You were on the Infinite Switchboard?" Five asked.
"Hell, yeah. I made that machine my bitch. Y'all need to recognize I got shit going on y'all don't even know about."
"Oh, I'm sorry. You've got things going on?" Allison asked.
