𝙒𝙀 𝘼𝙍𝙍𝙄𝙑𝙀𝘿 𝘼𝙏 "Super Star Lands Bowling Alley" a few minutes before everyone else. The benefits of teleportation. We found seats and patiently waited for everyone else. I slipped my hand into Five's, squeezing it lightly to reassure him. He squeezed back, giving me a small smile.

It took a few moments for everyone to show up, but eventually, the rest of my siblings were sat around the table. "Look, I hate to be the one to say this, but everyone needs to prepare," said Luther.

"For what?" Diego asks.

"To do whatever it takes to stop Vanya," Luther answered. Allison glared at him, smacking his shoulder with her notepad. After the incident with Vanya, she had been unable to speak due to damage to her vocal chords. Of course, that renders her powers useless, and that was just great.

"I-We may not have a choice Allison," Luther says, giving her a sympathetic stare. "Bullshit," Diego interjected. "There's always options."

"Really? Like what, Diego?" I asked.

"I don't know," Diego replied. "Look, whatever we decide, we need to find Vanya. And fast, okay? She could be anywhere," Luther said, standing up. "Or...here," Klaus suggests. I look up to see him holding a newspaper clipping, advertising Vanya's violin performance. "That's right, her concert is tonight. I remember hearing say something when we were at her house earlier," I said, snagging the paper from Klaus.

"Hello," a voice interrupted. We turned to see a woman in a uniform, probably in her mid-20s. "I hate to intrude, but my manager says if you're going to bowl, you gotta leave."

"Who's turn is it?" Diego asks.

"Oh for-" Luther stopped to pick up a bowling ball, throwing it absentmindedly towards one of the lanes behind him. "We're the only ones capable of stopping this. We have a responsibility to Dad."

I groaned, letting my head hit the table. "God, would you please shut up about Dad? I don't think any of us care."

"Yeah, really Luther? To Dad? No, I've heard enough about-"

"He sacrificed everything to bring us back together," Luther interrupted, cutting Diego off. "I'm with Luther on this one," Five stated.

"You're what?" Five ignored me, and continued to speak. "We can't give her a chance to fight back. There are a billion lives at stake. We're past trying to save just one."

"Hey, you know, guys, uh....maybe I could help," Klaus said.

"Now is not the time," Luther sighed.

"Shut up monkey man, let him finish. He's not as useless as you make him out to be," I said.

"Listen to me. Today Ben punched me in the face. And earlier at the house, he was the one who saved Diego's life, not me. You want proof, is that it?" Klaus asked, after seeing Luther's suspicious gaze. "All right. I-I'll give you proof," Klaus stutters, picking up a bowling ball. I looked over to see where he was throwing, seeing Ben standing there. He waves at me.

"Hey (Y/N)."

Klaus turns to me. "W-wait. You can see him?" I shrugged, a little too casually compared to how I was feeling at the moment. "Um, yeah. For a couple of days now, actually."

"God Klaus, what drug did you give her?" Luther asked. "Nothing, he gave me nothing. I promise. Maybe this is just, I don't know, a new power?"

"Maybe," Five said, giving me a reassuring smile. "Ok. Let's try this." We all turned to Klaus. "All right, it's show time, baby." He threw the bowling ball in the air while saying "catch." I watched Ben reach out to catch it, but it passed right through him hitting the ground with a loud bang.

"I mean, you tried," I said, gesturing to Ben.

"Is there any way to silence that voice in your head that screams out to be the center of attention?" Luther asks. I use my powers and wack him. "Seriously man, just shut your trap, Mr. 'DaD sEnT mE tO tHe MoOn.'" He was silenced at that.

"You know, I liked you a lot better before you got laid," Klaus admitted. Everyone's eyes widened, including Luther's. "You got what?" I asked in disbelief. "Which was a complete...it-it wasn't his fault, cause he was ridiculously high, right? And-and the girl, she thought he was furry..."

I snorted.

"Stop," Luther cut him off. Allison gave him a glare, getting up and walking off. "Allison, wait," Luther said, chasing after her.

"Excuse me!" A woman approached us. "Excuse me, it's my son, Kenny's, birthday today, and...uh...wouldn't your children be happier playing with kids their own age? Assuming it's ok with your two dads," she said, smiling at me and Five. I looked from Klaus, to Diego, to Five. There was a moment of confused silence, before Five spoke up.

"I would rather chew off my own foot," he snapped. The woman gave us a weird look, before walking off with her son. Five stood up, standing by the machine where the bowling balls came out.

"If I was going to date a man, you'd be the last man I would date," Diego said, with a look of disgust.

"You'd be lucky to get me," Klaus smirked. I looked back over to Five to see him opening a capsule like tube. I recognized it from the Commission. He opened it, reading a note on the inside. He suddenly disappeared, teleporting away. I honestly trusted him with whatever was happening, even though I wish he took me with him and away from Luther.

We sat for a few more minutes before Allison and Luther came back. "All right, where's Five?" Luther asked.

"He left," Diego replied. "Oh for the love of...where'd he go? Eight?" Luther asked. I raised my hands, leaning back in my chair. "Don't ask me," I responded.

"Well, we're not waiting around for him. The concert starts in 30 minutes," Luther states.

"All right, so, what's the plan?" Diego questioned.

"Well, I think that, uh...we go to the Icarus Theater," Luther says. "That's a location, not a plan," I interject.

"Look, you want to be Number One, fine, but you're going to have to get us on the same page. Because right now, we're all over the place," Diego said.

"You're right, we need a plan," Luther agrees.

Suddenly, I hear gunshots behind us. I turn to see five men in suits wearing gas masks. They continued to fire, people all around us screaming and running in terror. I get down, hiding behind a bowling ball rack with Klaus. "Who the hell are these guys?" Diego yells over the sound of rapid gunshots.

"Maybe they're here for Kenny's birthday!"

"No, I'm pretty sure they're here for us," I shout at Klaus. The men continued to shoot. Diego got up, throwing a knife straight at one of the gunmen's face. Luther begins to chuck bowling balls at the men. Soon enough, everyone was throwing things. I tried my best to fire blasts and tire them by pulling at their shadow.

"They're blocking the exits!" Klaus points out.

"So, what's the plan now, Luther?" Diego asks. Allison pointed towards the other side of the building.

"The lanes! Let's go!" Luther exclaimed. We got up, and sprinted our way down, trying not to fall on the slippery floor. We slide in, falling into the back room, safely escaping.
