"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...

Diego took a deep breath as he stepped forward. His chest was right at the tip of the knife. "Don't I?" He questioned her. "I know that we can be your family.. if you just let us."
The Handler entered the barn suddenly with a machine gun in her hands. Before she could shoot, Five wrestled the gun out of her grasp and aimed it at her now. My eyebrows furrowed as I glanced between him and a spot across from the barn. Was he always standing over there?
"It's true," Lila spoke up. "What Five said, isn't it?" The Handler just stood there with her hands in the air. "Answer me! Is it true?"
"Well-"
The Handler was shot several times in the chest. She fell to the floor as blood gushed out of her mouth. Her eyes were still open and staring straight ahead at Lila.
Everyone was so taken aback by what had just happened. When we looked to see who shot the Handler, the last remaining Swede brother was standing in the doorway.
Lila didn't hesitate as she broke into a sprint towards the briefcase. Luther noticed and shouted, "The case!"
"No!" Diego exclaimed. He stepped in front of his brother and the two men stumbled onto the ground, giving Lila enough time to send Diego one last fleeting glance before she traveled elsewhere in the timeline.
The Swede carefully made his way into the barn. He aimed his gun at Five who had his own held in the air as well. They were still for a beat, until Five slowly dropped his gun to the side. "Enough," he stated.
"Tillräckligt," the Swedish man said. He tossed his gun onto the hay on the floor of the barn, and then walked out like nothing had happened.
"I almost had her," Luther sighed. "Why the hell did you stop me?"
"Because," Diego whispered. "I love her." Luther rolled over off of his brother, allowing Diego to stand up again.
Klaus shook his head in confusion. "Who the hell was that guy?" He exclaimed. I furrowed my eyebrows. How did Klaus not find out about the Swedish brothers until now? I guess he wasn't kidding when he said nobody in this family ever tells him anything.
"Vanya!" Sissy shouted from downstairs under the barn. "Help!"
"Harlan," Vanya breathed. She quickly ran down the steps of the barn with the rest of us following after her. Once we were downstairs, we saw Harlan in a sphere of his own energy and powers. Vanya was kneeled right in front of the frightened boy as she spoke, "Whatever it is I gave you, I can take it back, okay? We just- We need to stop this."
