Klaus drives while Five sits in the passenger seat while I sit in the back. I look out the window, watching the passing landscapes as it goes from the city, to a small town, and then eventually turns into farm land.

Five relaxes in his seat, enjoying his retirement. He has a relaxed smile on his face, not realizing that our brother is full of shit when he says that this is a fun little retirement trip. Klaus just needs company for his own gain.

I look back out the window and close my eyes, hoping to be woken up when we arrive to wherever we are going.

After speaking with Ben and Klaus, all I see is black. Everywhere I look, It's all black. I try to scream for help, I run in all directions, but there's never any light. I soon sit on the floor, just pressing my head to the ground as I stare at the dark ceiling.

I sit there for who know's how long before I hear a voice.

"Rosie. I don't... I don't know if you can hear me. God I kind of hope you can't if I'm being honest." says the muffled voice. "I need you to know something. I feel things, for you. Now I realize that that sounds weird and you probably only see me as a brother, because who am I kidding, it's weird if you see me as anything but. But, I just need you to know how I feel.

"When I was in the apocalypse, I always thought of you. I always thought of how you were doing, wondering if you were living your life, if you were able to become famous like you planned. If you had escaped Reginald. You clouded my mind when I wasn't trying to get out of there. You were consuming my emotions.

"Which I find funny, because emotions are never black and white; they're more like symptoms. I lose my breath every time you enter a room, my heart beats faster when you walk by, my skin tingles when you stand close enough to feel your breath."

As soon as their voice fades, I look around to see light entering the dark room that I'm in. I can't move my head, or my hands, as if I'm being restricted. I can feel warmth in my hand that isn't mine.

I can feel the cold of the room, as if I'm laying on a table with just one of those flimsy hospital gowns on. As soon as I get feeling back into my body, I groan, feeling my abdomen constrict with the pain from breathing.

The memories come rushing back as I lay there. Allison, Vanya, the violin bow, the fire, Harold, Vanya's powers.

I open my eyes suddenly, having to blink in order to get my bearings as it's bright from the lights shining down on me. I move my head towards my hand, where I see Five's hand in mine as he sits there staring at me. I groan again feeling pain shoot up through me.

I wake up, feeling the pain shooting through me. I slowly open my eyes, not used to the harsh sunlight that's shining through the window. I grab my head and groan, noticing the headache that's formed since I fell asleep. I look around to see neither of my brothers have noticed my sudden wake up. I rub my head to help soothe the headache before lifting up my shirt, noticing the small scar in my abdomen to be a little irritated, almost as if it's just happened.

I gently graze my scar, pulling my hand back when a sharp pain goes through me. I look up to see Five's eyes looking at mine through the mirror in the front, having heard my heavy breathing and gasps.

I nod my head, letting him know I'm okay. He doesn't look convinced but he turns back towards the front, looking out of the mirror.

"This actually isn't so terrible." Five comments, looking at Klaus. Klaus looks very on edge, not that Five notices. 

"See? Told you." Klaus states, not needing to be caught in his very obvious lie.

"Come to think of it, my whole life I've been under the gun." Five states, looking at the rear-view mirror and locking eyes with me. He smiles slightly as he continues. "Missions for dad, working for the Commission, trying to survive the apocalypse. I was always looking around every corner, just waiting for the other shoe to drop. It's nice to just breathe."

"Good for you, man." Klaus states, a smile on his face realizing Five is finally getting a small break.

"I'm happy for you Five. You deserve peace more than any of us." I states, smirking towards Klaus when I see him look back at me quickly.

"Retirement is suiting you." Klaus says, trying to cover up what i'm insinuating.

"Oh! Uh... All right!" Five states, reaching down and grabbing a map with a bunch of circled red dots. I look over his shoulder to see the amount of them. "So, I've circled  all the roadside attractions along the way."

"I'm not sure we're gonna have time..." Klaus says quietly, not wanting to ruin Five's retirement but also knowing that he needs to be somewhere.

"We have the Brownsville Big Nickle." Five states, pointing at one of the attractions.

"Oh, Ricky's bakery has award winning pies." I comment, pointing towards the little shop on the map that's circled. I look to see Klaus with a strained happiness on his face as we talk about the attractions.

"If you just let me explain..." Klaus tries again, though Five's not listening.

"Or there's this Cow Henge." Five brings up, causing me to furrow my brows as to why he would want to go there.

"That's it... Don't..." Klaus tries again, finally fed up with Five's roadside attraction talk. "Listen to me. Just shut up for two seconds, okay?"

"Just two seconds? All right?" I state, knowing he's gonna need more time than that to explain where we're going. 

"Okay. I'm all ears." Five states, turning his body to face Klaus as he puts the map down.

"We are going to Pennsylvania to find my birth mother. Yay!" Klaus says, a big smile on his face, not realizing Five's anger.

"Excuse me?" Five asks, confused with how Klaus know's where we're going, confusing me as well.

"I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry." Klaus apologizes, not wanting to be murdered by me or Five. "I just needed somebody  to come with me for emotional support. And Marah just jumped in the car."

"Oh, emotional support, like a Schnauzer?" Five asks, not happy with his brother for ruining his retirement.

"I didn't just jump in, I thought this was going to be a fun bonding time for the three of us." I comment from the backseat, though neither brother paid me any attention.

"I knew you wouldn't come if I told you,so what was I supposed to do?" Klaus asks, as if that will justify his actions.

"You're goddamn rightI wouldn't have come, Klaus. You know why?" Five asks, not really looking for an answer. "Because I am supposed to be retired!"

"I know!" Klaus exclaims.

"Oh, please. You would have lasted maybe a day of retirement before you went out looking for trouble." I comment, earning myself a harsh glare from Five.

"This was supposed to bea carefree road trip." Five states, seething slightly from his brother's lies and from my commentary.

"Well, it still can be, babe." Klaus answers trying to lighten the mood a little.

Five looks out the window, seeing a sign for the 'World's biggest ball of twine'. Five turns to Klaus. "Ball of Twine? Klaus, turn!" Five yells at Klaus suddenly. "Ball of Twine! Turn!"

"What? Five? Five!" Klaus yells, as Five tries grabbing the steering wheel and trying to turn us. I grab onto the seats and buckle myself up, not wanting to die over a ball of twine.

"It is one of the best ones! Come on!" Five continues to turn the wheel, swerving us through traffic, almost crashing us into a few cars.

"Five we're gonna die! Whoo!" Klaus shouts at Five.

"I don't care!" Five yells back, as we drive down a calmer road and appear at a big ball of twine. "You know what?No twine, no birth mother!"

We step out of the car and just look at it for a second.

"I thought it'd be bigger." I state, earning nods from both brothers.
