.I call shotgun (said the dead man).

Luther and Allison walk back inside, after their talk with Claire out in the telephone booth. Which was definitely too small to hold both Luther and Allison.

"All right, where's Five?" asks Luther, rubbing his hands together, ready to go find Vanya.

"He left." I sigh.

"Oh, for the love of... Where'd he go?" Luther asks, more towards Marah than anyone else.

"Didn't tell us." Diego answers, pulling Luther's harsh glare off me, and onto him. "Well, we're not waiting around for him. The concert starts in 30 minutes."

The siblings all stand up and get ready to go. Diego speaks up, turning his question towards Luther. "All right, so what's the plan?"

"Well, I think that, uh..." Luther stutters over his words, not wanting to be put on the spot. "We go to the Icarus Theater."

"That's a location, not a plan." Marah says, smirking at how flustered Luther has gotten.

"What? Is that all you got?" goads Diego. "Look, you wanna be Number One, fine, but you're gonna have to get us on the same page, because right now, we're all over the place."

"You're right." sighs Luther, agreeing with Diego. Klaus, Allison, and Marah stare between the two, not believing that they're Number One and Number Two are agreeing on something. "We need a plan."

Suddenly, around 30 men swarm the Superstar with guns and gas masks and start firing at the siblings.

"Get down!" yells Luther, pulling Allison down with him.

"Who the hell are these guys?" yells Diego, hiding with Marah and Klaus behind a rack of bowling balls.

"Maybe they're here for Kenny's birthday!" yells Klaus, receiving a glare from all four of the siblings.

"No, I'm pretty sure they're here for us." yells Luther, not wanting to deal with Klaus's antics.

Diego stands up and starts throwing his knives, one of them hitting one of the men, causing him to land on the sound system, which starts to play music and turn the lights blue with a disco ball falling from the ceiling.

Luther stands up, grabbing some of the bowling balls and launching them towards the men. Marha stands up, and lights a few of the men on fire, before sitting back down as too not get shot, again.

Klaus grabs Kenny's birthday cake, and launches it at some of the men who fall over with the impact from the cake.

"They're blocking the exits." yells Klaus, over the noise of the gun fire.

"So, what's the plan now, Luther?" asks Diego loudly.

Allison points towards the lanes. Luther looks at her. As Luther goes to yell out what Allison means, Marah has already taken off towards the lanes.

"The lanes! Let's go!" Luther yells out, following after their younger/older sister.

Luther, Allison, Klaus, and Diego all run down the lanes, following their sister who has already made it through one of the lanes, having not wanted to wait for her siblings any longer.

They all make it through, standing behind the lanes. "Come on, Let's go!" Luther yells, running out of the place with Allison, then Marah, Diego, and Klaus not far behind him. They make their way to the Icarus Theater, where they plan on ending the apocalypse today, even if that mean's the death of their sister.

Meanwhile with Five...

Five walks through the halls of the Rain Quail, heading towards Room 12. Once he's outside the door, he waits a few seconds before the Handler calls out to him, causing him to walk inside the room.

"Five, I've been waiting for you." the Handler says, eating her Chinese take-out.

Five walks into the room, looking around he sees Agnes, who worked at Griddy's, sitting in a chair in front of the hottub.

"You must really like donuts." comments Five.

"Help me!" cries a muffled Agnes.

"It's been a while." mutters the Handler.

"Three days." grunts Five, just wanting to leave to go back to his family and girlfriend.

"For you, maybe." comments the Handler. "But for me, it's been a lot longer since I've seen those adorable little shorts."

Five grimaces at that, already not liking the Handler, but not liking how sexual her comments are towards him at times. 'If Marah was here, she'd have already bashed her face in'. Five thinks to himself.

"Well, you've had time to heal." motions Five, towards the new scar on the Handler's face.

The Handler sighs, "Luckily, for both of us, time... is the one thing my organization has an abundance of."

"Got your message, by the way." mentions Five. "Nice packaging, but so much for Commission protocol."

The Handler chuckles at that. "There have been... a lot of changes since you left the Commission. You really did some damage. The briefcases were all but destroyed, to say nothing of the... highly trained personnel you killed. After all, what is an institution if not for...

"What do you want?" Five asks, fed up with her nonsense.

"To be happy." explains the Handler, knowing that that wasn't the answer Five wanted. "To have a simple... unfettered life, to... do the work my superiors require. But... your being here, well, it complicates all that."

"Billions of people are about to die tonight." Five admits, causing Agnes to whimper, knowing she only has until tonight with Hazel. "You can change that."

"Tonight, tomorrow." waves the Handler, not caring. "So little difference in the scheme of things. Don't you remember the Commission raison d'etre? What's meant to be is meant to be, or, as I like to say, que sera, sera."

"It's bullshit in any language." scoffs Five, fed up with the Handler. "Why did you call me here?"

"I wanna offer you a choice." The Handler says, all business in her voice. "Everyone's going to die tonight, but...unlike the rest of the world, you have a way out. You can abandon your family and skip ahead to the apocalypse, take a walkabout for a few decades, wondering if I'll come back and offer you a job again, or you can stay here, with your family, and... die a horrible death."

Agnes whimpers, while the Handler uncorks a bottle. "While you weigh your options, just know your siblings and girlfriend are fighting for their lives without you."

"You brought me here to pull me away." whispers Five, turning to blink away back to his family.

"It's been nice knowing you Five. Cheers!" yells the Handler after the disappearing figure of Five Hargreeves.

I appear back in the theater. I see Luther, Diego, and Allison all crouched in some of the aisles. I look around for Marah, not seeing her. Panic sets in me, not knowing where she is.

"What's with all the lollygagging?" I ask, as I feel a pull on my arm.

"Five, get down!" yells Luther.

I look down to see forest green eyes and fire red hair staring towards me. I lean down, blocking her from the aisle, not wanting her to get hurt.

"Hi." she whispers, a small smile on her face.

"Hi." I whisper back, as the rest of the room falls away.

I kiss her forehead as one of my brother's starts talking.

"Five, what the... I thought you bailed on us!" Luther says, surprised I came back.

"I had an errand to run." I yell back, looking down towards Marah. "This is not good." I look around at all the gun men, knowing who sent them.

"You know these guys?" asks Luther, not liking that I know something he doesn't.

"Yeah, I do." I mumble out.

"And?" asks Diego, impatient. 

"Well... we're screwed." I say, bringing Marah's hand to my lips.

The doors burst open suddenly, as Klaus runs in the doors screaming. "Guys, it's Cha-Cha! It's Cha-Cha, she..."

"Klaus! Get down!" yells Luther, attempting to warn our brother of the gun fire he didn't see.

I stand up from my spot next to Marah and blink on one of the guys, turning his gun towards three of the other guys and killing them. I snap the gun men's neck that I'm on, walking back towards Marah.

"That was hot." she whispers towards me, blushing slightly.

Before I can respond, I see Klaus stand up, blue light shining around him as our brother, Ben, appears, releasing his tentacles on the gun men, taking the rest of them out.

"Oh my god." gasps Luther. "It's him. Ben."

"Now who's the lookout." Klaus laughs, slightly drained of energy.

We all meet in the center, Diego running back over to us from behind the stage.

"Oh, welcome back. Where were you?" Luther asks, sarcasm in his voice.

Diego looks towards me and Marah as he speaks. "Honoring a memory. So, how do you wanna end this thing?"

"We surround her." Luther states. "All right? We come at her from all angles."

"So it's a suicide mission." Marah states, causing all of us to nod in agreement.

"Yeah, but one of us could get through. It's the only chance we've got." I say, grabbing Marah's hand.

"Are we all in?" Luther asks.

"Yeah." we all respond, besides Allison who shakes her head, still not wanting to hurt Vanya.

"All right. Allison?" Luther asks, having not seen her reaction. 

"Stage Left." Luther points to himself.

"Stage Right." Luther points to Diego.

"You guys take the front." Luther points to me, Marah, and Klaus.

I pull Marah to the side, grabbing her face and holding her close. "Are you able to distract Vanya another way? I don't want you getting hurt."

"No. If you're going on this suicide mission, then so am I." she admits, causing me to frown but eventually let it go.

I lean down and slowly capture her lips in mine. Moving against her slowly, her hands tangling in my hair and mine holding her waist and her neck, bringing her closer. We break apart a few seconds later and lean our foreheads against one another.

We pull back completely and face towards our siblings. We get in position and get ready to run towards Vanya.

"Now!" yells Luther, giving the signal to charge at Vanya. I grab Marah's hand and blink us closer to the stage.

Vanya waves her bow, sweeping all of us onto white tentacles, which are pulling out the energy in us. We see Allison go behind Vanya, holding a gun. She moves the gun to her ear and fires, causing all of us to drop and Vanya to send a blast of energy through the ceiling before falling to the ground.

We all run up to the stage, crowding around Vanya as Allison checks for a pulse. "Is she alive?" Luther asks.

Allison nods her head, causing all of us to let out a sigh of relief. "She is? Yeah?" Luther confirms. "Oh, thank god."

"We did it. We saved the world." Luther says, putting smiles on all of our faces.

We all celebrate when Klaus turns towards the roof. "Uh...Guys?" Klaus says, bringing our attention towards him and the roof, where a part of the moon is heading towards us. "You see that big moon rock coming towards us?"

"That's not good." mutters Luther. "So, this is it, huh? So much for... saving the world."

"If only Sir Reginald could see us right now, huh?" Diego says, causing the rest of my siblings to smile as I think of a way out. "The Umbrella Academy. A total failure. At least we're together at the end. As a family."

"This doesn't have to be the end." I say, gaining the attention of all my siblings.

"What? What are you saying, Five?" asks Luther.

"I think I have a way out of here. But you gotta trust me on this." I say, looking at all my siblings.

"Yeah, I don't think so." Luther says.

"No." Diego mutters.

"Well then, we might as well accept our fate, because in less than a minute, we're going to be vaporized." I say, seeing them all think over it.

"What's your idea then?" asks Luther.

"We use my ability to time travel. But this time I take you all with me." I explain, looking towards Marah for her conformation.

"You can do that?" Marah asks.

"I don't know. I've never tried it before." I admit.

"What's the worst that can happen?" Diego asks.

"You're lookin' at it. A 58-year-old man, in a child's body." I say, gesturing towards myself. "So there's that."

"Oh, what the hell. I'm in." comments Diego.

"Yeah, whatever. I'm in." mumbles Klaus.

"Me too." says Luther, turning towards Allison. "Allison?"

Allison nods her head, still holding Vanya in her lap. "What about Ben?" Luther asks.

"Great, yeah, he's in." Klaus mumbles, looking behind him.

"Okay, great. Luther, grab Vanya." I command. Luther grabs Vanya from Allison, as Allison stands up.

"Wait, should we be taking her?" Luther asks, gesturing towards Vanya. "I mean, if she's the cause of the apocalypse. Isn't that like, taking the bomb with us?"

"The apocalypse will always happen." Marah says, holding onto my hand tightly. "And Vanya will always be the cause, unless we take her with us and fix her."

Everyone grabs each other's hands. We form a circle. I start to open a portal, using all of my energy to open it. "Ah! It's working! Hold on! It's gonna get messy!" I yell, looking at all my now young siblings.

The portal sucks us through, just as the flames from the apocalypse take over. We are yanked through time and space, and out of the apocalypse.
