Elena Romero was born on the 1st of October, 1989. Elena's superpower, she had discovered, was not keeping her dysfunctional family together. It was, in fact, keeping herself together. She could miraculously heal all of her injuries. All except one...
"What happened?" "Got attacked by a milkman, what happened with you?" "Thought I saw our robot mom."

Having been distracted by catching a glimpse of their robot mum from across the room, Diego had lost sight of Five. Thinking he had seen his mum wasn't the only blast from the past he had encountered that night. He knew, deep down, there was no way Elena was going to be at a party hosted by his father in the 60s but he could have sworn he saw her in the entrance way. And until he found Five at the top of the stairs, he really did blame him seeing Elena everywhere on his grief.
"Wait! Elena!" he could have sworn he heard Five shout but as he raced up stairs, desperate to reach Elena, on the off chance she really was there. He needed to tell her he was sorry. He needed to ask her to forgive him because he still loved her and he needed, more than anything else to know if she still loved him too. But when he reached the top, all he was met with was a man dressed all in white falling down the stairs, Five looking dishevelled on the landing and a loud of broken glass by a smashed in window.
"What happened?" Diego asked, looking about at the wreckage Five had left in his wake.
"Got attacked by a milkman," Five said rather matter of factly, "What happened with you?"
"Thought I saw our robot mom," Diego said, still slightly dazed from thinking he had seen Elena, "I thought I saw Elena too. You see her too or am I going crazy?" Diego asked bluntly because part of him just knew without a doubt that he had heard Five call Elena's name.
"Think you went crazy a long time ago, Diego," was all Five said in response.
Diego narrowed his eyes and grabbed a hold of Five's arm, stopping him as he walked past.
"I heard you call her name," he confronted and looked Five dead in the eyes, waiting for an explanation.
"If you're jealous," Five sighed, "Let me assure you that I do not, nor did I ever, have romantic feelings for Elena. She's all yours buddy,"
"So you admit it?" Diego confronted, letting go of Five.
"Admit what?" he snapped, clearly having already had enough of Diego's shit.
"That she's here. That she's alive" Diego continued, "You said she's all mine. Is Five. Present tense."
