Five and I fall out of the sky onto the bar at the Academy. 

"Je-Jesus!" Allison yells as they all stumble away from us.

Klaus groans. "You guys, am I still high, or do you see them, too?"

"Five, Fiona, where have you two been?" Luther asks.

Diego picks me up and sets me back onto my feet on the inside of the bar with him. Five falls down off of the bar and Luther and Allison help him up. 

"Are you two all right?" Allison asks. 

"Who did this?" Luther asks.

Five grabs the coffee from Allison's hand and stands up. "Irrelevant." 

He walks away leaving us near the bar. My siblings look over at me and I shrug tiredly in Diego's arms.

Five gulps down the cup of coffee and turns back to us sighing. 

"So, the apocalypse is in three days. The only chance we have to save our world is, well, us." Five explains to our siblings.

"The Umbrella Academy." Luther clarifies.

"Yeah, but with me, obviously. So if y'all don't get your sideshow acts together and get over yourselves, we're screwed. Who cares if Dad messed us up? Are we gonna let that define us? No. And to give us a fighting chance to see next week, We've come back with a lead." Five says raising the message from Dot in the air.

"We know who's responsible for the apocalypse." Five says as my siblings all look over at me behind the bar with Diego still helping me stand. 

Allison turns back around and takes the message from Five. 

Diego guides me over to Allison as well all read the message together. 

"This is who we have to stop." Five adds.

"Harold Jenkins?" Allison questions. 

"Who the hell is Harold Jenkins?" Diego asks from behind me. 

Five finishes his coffee and looks back at us.
