After Diego walked off, Five blinked us back into my hotel room so that we could change, before we finished talking with his family.

I walk into my wardrobe and grab my clothes, walking into the bathroom as Five stays in my room.

"How are feeling? Be honest." I ask Five, wanting to make sure he's okay.

"I'm okay, I think." Five answers honestly. "It's just weird, I've been attempting to save the world for the past twenty days, and now I'm told to not save the world with no explanation."

I change into a white mock neck, short sleeve top, a white tennis skirt, brown corset, and white heels. I brush out my hair, and grab Five's suit jacket which I'd placed on the sink while changing.

"Well, are you gonna listen to him?" I ask, walking out of the bathroom, I hand Five back his jacket and then throw my old clothes into my wardrobe. When Five doesn't respond for a few minutes, I turn around to see him just looking at me. "What? Is something wrong with what I'm wearing?"

"Huh?" Five says, shaking out of his staring. "No, sorry. You just look really pretty." 

I blush at his compliment, walking over to him, I grab his hand and give him a kiss on the cheek. He stands up, placing a kiss to my forehead as he grabs my hand and pulls me out of the room.

"I think I will listen to him. I mean, I want a break, and if he says that I should take it, then I will." Five says, pulling me closer to him as we walk down the halls and towards the elevator. "I mean, if your older self told you to just let the world burn to save yourself, would you listen to her?"

"I don't know. Maybe. But we aren't talking about me right now." I say, pushing the button for the elevator. "We're talking about you."

"Honestly, I'm glad my older self told me not to save the world." Five sighs, pulling me into the elevator with him and pressing the button for the ground level. "After I lost you in my first timeline, then getting you back in Texas after you were fresh out of jail, and then losing you once again, I don't know. Maybe I am glad that I can rebuild a relationship with you and not have to focus on losing you again."

We step out of the elevator as he finishes talking, grabbing my hand, we walk to the bar where the rest of his siblings, excluding Diego and Klaus are sitting, waiting for us.

Five lifts me onto the counter as he prepares a drink for me and him.

"So this Kugelblitz, it's...?" Viktor tries to approach the subject softly.

"The end of everything. Every rock, every star, every atomsucked into a radiant black hole." Five hands me a drink as he steps in between my legs, rubbing one of his hands on my hip. "Randomly collapsing matterevery moment in time across all existence till nothing's left. Hate to say I told you so, but..."

"You love to say I told you so." I retort, smacking him on the arm softly as I take a sip of the drink he made me.

" You know, it's impressive." Lila reminds everyone she's here as well. "Whoever knocked off your mumshated you all enough to end the entire universe."

"We don't know that." Viktor answers quickly, almost as if he knows something. I glance at Five to see he has the same look as me, knowing that Viktor is hiding things from his family.

"It doesn't matter who created the thing.We just have to kick its ass." Allison answers, a murderous look on her face.

"Oh really? How?" Luther retorts, turning towards Allison. "Are you and Diegogonna punch it in the Kugel?"

"The best plan is to go back in timeand eliminate the paradox and destroy whatever it wasthat took out our mothers and stop the Kugelblitz before it starts,but we can't do that." Five answers, taking my empty glass from me and filling it with water, as he refills his drink. "Briefcase is kaput."

"And why the hellcan't you just jump us out of here?" Allison asks angrily, getting fed up with her family.

"Last time he tried that,we all got trapped in time. Do you really wanna risk that again?" I say, looking around at his family to see them all looking away, remembering what happened in Texas.

"What's plan B?" Viktor asks.

Klaus, Diego, and Stan then walk into the bar with Klaus looking paler than normal and Diego and Stan looking as if they've just seen a ghost.

Five finishes filling his glass as Klaus grabs the bottle from him. "Gimme that."

"What happened to you?" Five asks, confused with where they've been.

"Oh, just a speargun to the chest.No big deal." Klaus answers, taking a sip of the alcohol. 

"What did we miss?" Diego asks, walking around the counter and standing next to Lila with Stan following him.

"The universe is ending,and we're all going to die." Lila responds, sipping her water as she leans against the table and Stan walks around the counter standing next to her and Diego.

We all sit in silence for a few minutes before a wave passes through us and then goes back, eliciting screams from the other people in the hotel as people start disappearing.

"What the hell was that?" Diego asks as we all make sure none of us are injured.

"That was a Kugel wave." Five answers, rubbing his hand on my hip to calm himself down. I rest my head on his shoulder, the exhaustion from all our traveling catching up to me. "Oh, it's getting worse." Five kisses my head as his other hand rubs the back of my head.

"How long do we have?" Luther asks.

"At this rate of escalation,if you factor in--" Five starts rambling from his nerves.

"How long Five?" Allison asks, interrupting his rambling. I grab his hand that was on my hip and loop my fingers with his, calming him down.

"Four, maybe five daysbefore the rest of existence is blitzed." Five answers softly, not wanting to scare his siblings and cause unnecessary tension within their group.

"We should've given them Harlan." Luther says suddenly, causing me, Five, and Lila to all be confused.

"Luther." Viktor grits his teeth.

"What about Harlan?" Five asks.

"The Sparrows said if we turned him over,we could end the fighting, and then work together to save the world." Luther explains for those of us who weren't here.

"But if we didn't--" Viktor tries to talk.

"But we tried to make peace." Luther says.

"Okay, and then the step-siblings from hellattacked, kidnapped you, and they tried to kill us." Diego explains, pointing towards Luther. "I mean, come on. We can't trust them. Working together would be like tryingto defuse a bomb by pouring gas on it. It's only gonna make thingsburn down faster."

"But don't we need the big bad glow-y thingin their basement?" Klaus asks, alerting us that he already know's where the Kugelblitz is.

"Klaus, do you knowwhere the Kugelblitz is?" I ask, wondering why he never said anything.

"Oh, yeah. I saw it." Klaus says, gasping dramatically. "When I went to visit Dad and Marah's mom. It's in the old storage roomwhere Mom used to keep all her luggage."

"Why didn't you tell anyone?" Diego asks, angry that we know do need to work with the Sparrow's.

"I did. I told you!" Klaus retorts.

"You say stupid shit all the time!" Diego exclaims.

"Of course.It appeared in the same place we did." Five mutters, more to himself then his siblings.

"...important stupid shit." Diego grumbles.

"That's not your fault?" Klaus says to Diego. "I'm inside your brain,pulling levers and stuff? Serious..."

"You don't think the Kugelblitz..." Five starts, the conversation around us starting to fade.
