"I swear to god if he's dead." Lavender shook Klaus as he grumbled awake, "Not dead."

"Are you okay?" Vanya asked as she ran toward them, her bare feet slapping against the cold floor as the sun hit each of them.

"Feels like the first time I time traveled." Lavender said from where she was on the ground, looking up at Vanya

"Physically or emotionally?" Klaus moaned in pain as he sat up on his elbowed.

"You're alive." Diego said in shock as he looked up at his sister.

"Did we save the world, or what?" Klaus asked with a blink of his forest green eyes.

"I think so." Allison spoke confidently as she pulled herself to a sitting position.

"Kennedy's a few minutes away." Diego said as he looked at the stop watch, causing Klaus to groan loudly, "I can still save him."

"No, Diego wait!" Allison yelled as Lavender stood up to quickly.

"Diego!" she yelled but stopped before she could go on, stoped when she felt the odd feeling of not being able to hear the extra voice, not feel the extra presence.

"Ben?"

Ben was gone, he was actually gone this time. Klaus couldn't see him, Lavender couldn't see him... he was gone.

Lavender always imagined Ben being there through everything, by her side no matter what the situation was. She hadn't even thought of him passing over, she didn't want to. But now that it finally happened she was in pain, she was hurting for him.

Lavender cried as she leaned on the sink in the empty and cold bathroom. She felt horrible for leaving Klaus alone in the room but she knew he needed the time alone just as she did. So Lavender cried again, sniffling and shaking her head to try and rid the painful feeling.

He was just gone, he wasn't there anymore in here ear to make a comment about her age where she'd return with a dead remark.

The way they left things.

So awkward without talking or saying what either of them needed to say. There was build up, something that needed to be said to finally get them some what back to normal. And neither of them got the chance to say it, because he was gone.

Completely and truly gone.

Lavender took a final deep breath as she applied cold water to her eyes, not wanting anyone to know she was crying before exiting the crammed bathroom.

"Well, where are we suppose to go?" Vanya asked as around at her siblings.

"I have this yurk just outside Reykjavik. We could totally lay low there." Klaus announced as he put a hand in the air with a sigh. Allison threw her hands up in stress, "Folks there are a little weird but lovely!"

"You'd all fit in." Lavender spoke as Klaus nodded while Lavender took the space next to Five.

"Hey, numnuts." Five called over to Klaus with a sigh, "Hidings not gonna make a difference here. The Commission will hunt us down whenever and whenever we go."

"He's right. They'll never stop." Diego said as he looked down, his long locks in his face slightly.

"Excuse me?" Lavender asked him with eyebrows raised.

"I'm sorry, since when are you an expert on the Commission?" Five asked in disbelief as Allison rolled her eyes at the bickering.

"Sense I got back from there." Diego said with a knowing look.

"What?" Five asked in disbelief as Diego turned to Five more.

"Yeah, they headhunted me, offered me a job. Full time with benefits, which I had to turn down." Diego said with a annoyed look as he looked away again.

"God, headhunting is the worst." Lavender groaned as she cringed at the memory.

"They headhunted you... the village idiot?" Five asked in disbelief with a odd look.

"What, am I not allowed to be headhunted?" Diego asked him defensively, "Only the almighty Five needs to be in demand?"

"Diego, you're not Commission martial, all right?" Five asked him with a sigh as Allison and Luther sighed in sync at the argument that was about to break out, "Got an obstinate nature to ya."

"Who do you think it was that figured out Vanya was the one that causes Dooms day and stopped it? Me. That's who!" Diego said, ignoring Klaus who was trying to protest, "I figured it all out on the Infinite Switchboard."

"What the hell! They barely let me in it!" Lavender yelled in disbelief.

"Well, Lav, forgive me but I can't imagine why." Klaus said as she looked at him with a knowing look.

"You were on the Infinite Switchboard?" Five asked again with more so shock then disbelief.

"Hell, yeah! I made that machine my bitch!" Diego announced.

"Y'all need to recognize I got shit going on yall don't even know about." Diego added as he looked around.

"I'm sorry, you've got things going on?"

"This isn't helpful!"

"What is it you have going on? Did you kiss your husbands brother and not get to say anything before he died again?"

"Guys look, we need to move! That is more important here. That is our only option." Luther announced after minutes of bickering back and forth at the other.

"No we need to box those windows and stay here." Diego said as Lavender looked at him like he was crazy.

"Yeah then the Commission will come after Five and I hear, the rest of you will be fair game to them." Lavender spoke to him with a shake of her head.

"I'm leaving." Vanya announced to get all their attention.

"What?" Allison asked in disbelief with a odd look, "To go where?"

"To Sissy's farm. Somethings wrong with Harlan, and I need to help him." Vanya shook her head with a sigh.

"Vanya, we need to stick together, okay? Now more then ever." Luther went on at her peacefully.

"That's why i'm telling you this." Vanya said as she inched closer to the group, "Whatever's going on with Harlan, I think I might've caused it."

"How?"

"He drowned, and, uh, somehow I was able to bring him back to life. And now it's like we're connected." Vanya rambled slightly as Lavender and Five shared a small look.

"Wh- what's that even mean?" Luther asked while looking to his family for help but they all seemed just as lost as he was.

"I don't know. I can't explain, but.. I know that he needs my help. And I need your help too." Vanya said as Lavender looked at her better.

"How can I help?" the newest Hargreeves asked with a nod.

"I'm scared. And for the first time in my life, I don't wanna do it alone. I want my family by my side." Vanya spoke as she looked at each of them, she included Lavender in that look.

She was family.

"Look, i'm sorry." Diego spoke as he inched closer to her slowly, "We have other priorities right now."

"Diego's right." Five spoke up right after, "For once. We need to make our enter here and now."

"I'll go." Lavender said with a nod as Klaus grinned.

"Lav you can't." Five said as he stood, he he was ignored.

"See Vanya, this is why Klaus and I should have always been your go twos." Lavender said as she got into the car after he discussion with Five as Klaus had his own with Vanya.

"Shes always right." he announced as Vanya tried to hold back a smile.

"Got room for two more?" Allison asked as her and Diego climbed in on either side of Lavender . She smiled at Allison and Diego while putting her arms around the two.

"What about the Commission?" Vanya questioned her siblings with confused looks.

"Well, might as well do some good before we die horribly." Diego said ad Klaus cheered.

Five opened the front door and looked to Klaus in disbelief.

"Five, y-you don't have to." Vanya began, starting to feel the guilt build up.

"I know. You owe me one, sis." Five said with a look as he looked to Klaus, "Children ride in the back."

"Come on husband of mine." Lavender said as Klaus climbed over in the seat, landing on her lap while throwing his legs across Diego.

"Guys, I don't know what to say." Vanya said with a soft smile at each of them. The trunk opened as Luther climbed in, the whole backend if the car hitting the ground as his face flushed.

"Anyone makes a fat joke, and i'm outta here." Luther said as Lavender hid her head into Klaus neck to prevent a laugh.
