"Five?
"Lexa?" We both shared a smile as we pulled each other in for a long, overdue hug. "Where have you been?" He asked me in disbelief.
"It's kind of a long story," I said with a shrug. "Basically, I was sent back to my past, which is technicall...

Five instantly grabbed onto my hand and pulled me away as the three of us broke into a sprint away from Zara, Lila, and the Handler. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. The sound of overlapping battle cries from the Commission agents behind us motivated me into running even faster than before. Their loud footsteps sounded like a menacing stampede of wild animals. It was long before they started firing their guns at us. Bullets whizzed through the air, nearly hitting Five, Diego, and I as we dashed through the open land.
"We're not gonna make it!" Diego shouted over the rapid gunfire. Five reach out and grabbed onto his brother's shoulder. "What are you going?" Suddenly, Five teleported us further down the field. "Five, I think I'm gonna puke!"
"No time!" Five exclaimed. The three of us ducked down behind a red tractor. My hands shot up to cover my head as bullets ricocheted off the metal. "What now?"
"We blink into the house, man!" Diego replied. Five nodded and grabbed onto us again, but when he tried to teleport us, his powers didn't work. "WHAT?" Diego shouted in disbelief.
"Shit, I'm out of fuel," Five explained. "I'm too tired."
"Would now be a bad time to tell you guys that Zara's got x-ray vision?" I exclaimed.
Five and Diego stared at me with wide eyes as they both shouted, "Yes!"
"Alright, then just pretend I didn't say that," I added.
Diego shook his head. "Alright, go!" he shouted. "I'll cover for you two."
"No, Diego, I can just phase us through to the house," I said.
"Bad idea! You said it yourself," Diego retorted in disagreed. "Your friend's got x-ray vision, so she'll see you're every mood. You gotta get some distance before she comes after you." I knew Diego was right. Zara would hunt me down the minute she gets a chance.
Five and I stood up and immediately made a run for the house, while Diego stepped out into the open. He held his hands up and froze all of the bullets in the air. "What the hell?" I exclaimed. "Since when can he do that?"
"I'll explain later!" Five shouted.
The two of us ran up the stairs of Sissy's house as I phased us both through the door. We hid under the small table in her kitchen as bullets shot through the walls. Five wrapped his arms around my head as the two of us laid on the floor, praying that we wouldn't get shot. Glass from the windows shattered onto the floor, while the lights above blew out. My hands covered my ears from the deafening gunshots. My eyes were squeezed shut and I couldn't stop shaking from fear.
The familiar sound of a high pitch tone echoed throughout the area. It must have been Vanya because all of the shooting suddenly stopped.
Five and I slowly crawled out from under the table and carefully made our way over to the window. In the distance, every Commission assassin was laid on the ground, except for Lila, Zara, and the Handler, who were surrounded by a blue force field.
