The team were currently rounded up in Vladovin, Russia, holed up on the top of a little mountain overlooking a Russian base. Leslie glanced behind her at Roman's bright orange Lamborghini a and rolled her eyes. Even though she was driving a Ferrari, it was a dark gray F12, and she had actually put snow tires, unlike Roman. She couldn't wait to see him slide on that ice. Leslie tugged her coat around her tighter and leaned forward to take the binoculars from Little Nobody so she could get a closer look.

Hobbs looks back at Letty who was next to him. "Letty, I don't like telling you this one bit. But the game's changed. Before, were just trying to catch Dom, but now, after all this, I want you to know, if I have to, I'm gonna put him down." Leslie almost wanted to roll her eyes, as if that was possible in this cold weather. The whole team would stand in front of Dom  if it came down to that. Even she knew that and she wasn't even apart of their crew.

Letty nods, "then you might have to take us both down."

"I'm freezing, man. This ain't for me. I come from a different kind of lifestyle, bruh. Ladies know me. They know where I'm at with it. I tried to take a piss, I didn't even recognize myself." Roman rambles. Leslie grimaced, he definitely should've kept that to himself. Apparently Tej was thinking the same thing as her. "Man, that's entirely too much information."

"I'm just sayin'."

Little Nobody speaks up from beside Leslie. "Well, one things for sure. Dom's gotta be either working with them or making a trade, because no one would be this insane to hit this place without a damn army." Letty smirks from beside Leslie, sharing a look with her, they both knew what each other was thinking. "I wouldn't be so sure about that." Leslie squints as she raises the binoculars, her eyes landing on the black charger speeding towards the base. "Speak of the devil and he shall come."

They watch as he drives towards the base, the power going down due to the pulse from the EMP and he drives through a gate, everyone shooting at his clearly bulletproof car. "What the hell has she got him doing," Leslie mumbles. Dom drives under a submarine as a chopper begins shooting at him. He sends out another pulse, sending the chopper down and the sub down so Cipher could gain control of it.

"Damn! I think Cipher just rebooted that sub to slave it's command system." Tej informs and Roman looks at him in confusion. "What the hell is he talking about?" Leslie rolls her eyes at him as Ramsey dumbs it down for him. "In layman's terms, she just carjacked a submarine. We can't let it get away. There's the control room. If you can get me into that wheelhouse, I can tap tje network and counter-hack Cipher. Keep it from lowering into the water."

"No, what we need to do is get me on that sub. I find the weapons room and I can pull the launch chip before she can fire any of those nukes." Tej counters, disagreeing with her plan. "That is too crazy," Ramsey objects. "What you're saying is too dangerous," he argues.

"We'll do both." Hobbs states.

Leslie climbs into her car and puts it in drive. They all sped down towards and base and headed into it as all the fire had been aimed at Dom, it gave the team an open window. Hobbs drove into the cement wall with his truck and they sped in after him. The Russians started shooting though they didn't go through her windows as she had them bulletproofed.

Leslie parked next to Little Nobody and climbed out with her machine gun. "All right, let's haul ass, team! Double time, double time!" Hobbs orders. Leslie got onto the large platform and began shooting down the separatists. "I'll stay here! You go! I got this!" She assured to Letty who stayed to shoot next to her. "Letty, let's roll!" Hobbs called. "You got this?" Letty asks, wanting to double check.

"Go!" Leslie urged, continuing to shoot down the men that ran forward. Once she got them down, she ran towards the submarine and stood next to Little Nobody. She continued to shoot down more guys that headed their way. "You got this?" Little Nobody asked as Tej and Roman climb into the sub. "Just go! I'll be fine!" Leslie ushers, reloading her gun. He nods, climbing down into the sub after Tej.

After a while, Leslie glanced down into the sub wondering what was taking them so long. It wasn't that hard to pull a bloody chip. "Nuke's going hot. She's tryin' to fire this thing!" Tej says through the radio. "Roger that. We're moving out. Disable the nukes!" Hobbs responds. Leslie keeps firing her gun until she's out of ammo. "Hurry up and disable the bloody thing! I'm out of ammo!" Leslie exclaims, climbing down the sub and running towards her car for protection, Hobbs, Letty, and Ramsey all doing the same.

"You all right?" Letty asks as Roman, Tej, and Little Nobody approach. "There's nothing all right about any of this!" Roman retorts.

"What about the missiles?!" Ramsey questions. Little Nobody stops and pulls out the chip from his pocket. "We got the chip. No nukes for her." Hobbs nods, hitting his fist. "Hell yeah. Let's roll." Leslie sighs in relief before climbing into her car. They immediately drive out, Tej being the first with Leslie right behind him. "Guys, we got company. A lot of company!"

"All right, team, here's the plan. There's a sea lock at the opening of the bay. We get there first and close it, we can stop the submarine from escaping into open water and disappearing forever." Hobbs explains through the radio.

"I've got the location. It's 10 miles southwest," Ramsey informed.

"Ten miles? We're not gonna make it ten seconds!" Little Nobody exclaimed. Leslie huffs, she hated to agree but he was kind of right. They were out in the open and exposed with not much of a plan. So yeah, it was a bit insane. Leslie was quick to drive around Roman as he seemed to slow down, clearly swerving in the ice. She chuckled lowly to herself. Maybe this wasn't such a bad idea. Who wouldn't want to watch Roman sliding around on ice?

"No, no, no! This is not good! Ahh-" Roman exclaims as he slides on the ice. Tej quickly took this as an opportunity to tease his friend. "What's the matter, Roman? Forgot your snow tires?" The only response he got was Roman's fearful screams as he continued to lose control of his vehicle.

"You lovin' that Lambo now?" Letty chuckles.

Roman speeds up, doing his best to gain control and stay out of the gunfire. "Why are they shootin' at me?!" He yells out. "Maybe 'cause you're in an orange Lamborghini, I don't know." Tej replies with sarcastic undertones and Leslie chuckles lowly.

Roman didn't find this very funny. "Shut up, Tej!"

Leslie groaned as she slowed her vehicle, "I can't believe I'm doing this," she mutters to herself. "Okay, Roman, I'm moving in next to you, speed up a bit!" Leslie drifted in the ice, speeding the opposite way as her team before drifting next to Roman and lining up with his car, which would bring the gunfire to her car and take the majority of it off of Roman.

"Roman, Leslie, get in front of me!" Tej says. Leslie did as told, speeding up and moving in front of Tej's tank, Roman also doing as told. "Okay, y'all wanna play rough? Now it's my turn." Tej began to shoot some of their trucks down with the large gun from the tank. Leslie's eyes widened noticing there was more evil Russians incoming. Roman also took notice of this. "Guys, we got snowmobiles on the right!"

"They're gonna flank us!" Letty warns. Suddenly, quite literally out of nowhere, Hobbs comes in and smashes into their truck. "No, they ain't!"

Leslie checks through her rear view mirror and quickly notices the large missile truck on her ass. "Roman, watch out!" She warns, quickly speeding up and drifting out of the crossfire. Roman unfortunately, got caught up in it, seeing as his tires slid on the ice. "Oh, shit!" The truck blew a large crack into the ice that went throughout the water, Roman trying to drive out of it to the best of his abilities. "Tej!"

"Roman, hold tight, I'm on the way!" Tej speeds up, driving towards his friend who began to sink in as ice collapses. "I don't wanna go swimmin'! No!" Tej shoots a grappling hook into Roman's door from the tank. "Really, Tej?" Leslie grimaced as Roman's car dove into the water out of his control. "Roman, grab your door, now!" Leslie orders. "Grab the door, Roman!" Tej adds. Leslie squints her eyes watching closely, "Tej, you better save his stupid ass right now!"

"It's so cold! Oh shit!" Tej swerved to the left harshly and that's when Roman comes flying out of the cold water, holding onto the orange door for dear life.

"Roman, hold on!" Tej drives faster as the Russians shoot at the exposed Roman. The same missile truck shoots another one at Tej, which ends up breaking the line that was dragging Roman on the door. Roman quickly ran to the door as a shield and lifts it up. "All right. I've had enough of this shit!" He knocks down one of the drivers on the snowmobile and takes their gun, shooting the rest of the drivers down. "Number 11, my ass!"

Hobbs pulls to a stop next to Roman. "Yo, shrinkage! We got a sub to catch. Get in!"

~ ᵖʳᵉᵛⁱᵒᵘˢˡʸ ⁱⁿ ⁿᵉʷ ʸᵒʳᵏ ~

Leo and Santos load up a "dead" Deckard Shaw into an ambulance and shut the doors, not before arguing about who's driving. Magdalene Shaw grabs a syringe with a shot full of adrenaline and stabs it into her son's heart, the man waking up with a loud gasp. He sits up, his mum not affected in the slightest. "Jesus, Mum. You're supposed to avoid the nerves." He complains.

"Oh, shut up. Don't be such a baby." She brushed up. Deckard sighs, remembering Leslie, he couldn't imagine how she was feeling. Just when he was finally getting her to open up and climb out of that shell only for him to lock her back in again. The only thing he felt was guilty. "How's Leslie? Did they buy it?" He asked. Mag raised a brow, wondering who he was talking about. "They bought it. Who's Leslie?"

Deckard sighed, pulling out his phone, he pulled up a picture of the woman. Magdalene took it and squint her eyes, a small smile growing on her face. "Oh? She's cute. Is she your girlfriend?" She questions, handing her son the phone back. He rolls his eyes, shaking his head. "No, mum, she's not my girlfriend. She's a friend, who I care about. She's uptight and serious and I finally got her out of that damn shell and now...I might have just closed her back up again. The one woman I've cared for since...you know who."

Magdalene pursed her lips, knowing full well that he was referring to Valerie. "Well, what's this Leslie's, last name? I can find her and reach out to her, tell her what's going on."

"Her last name's Creed. Leslie Creed. And don't do that, I wanna talk to her myself when this is over." He said. Mag hums, not surprised she was a Creed. She did look an awful like her mother. "I figured. She's a splitting image of her mother. Though, I am quite surprised you're dating a Creed." Deckard looks at her in confusion, "mum, we're not dating- wait, hold on, why would it be so shocking if I was?"

Mag shrugs, "no reason. It's just..well, she is her mother's daughter. It just takes a lot of patience for someone like a Creed. Not that you can't handle her, of course. You dealt with Valerie's issues just fine."

Deckard groaned, tired of this conversation and where it was going. "Did Toretto hold up his end of the deal?" He questioned, getting back on track. Magdalene holds up a little device, "he gave us this little thing here." Deckard reaches for it but she moves it from his grasp. "No, no, no, don't touch. You can track Cipher with this, but you can't do this on your own. There's gotta be two of ya."

"Fine. I've got contacts. I'll just get Creed." He said, reaching for it again but she moves it back. "No, you're gonna take your brother." Deckard rolls his eyes hearing this, "oh, dear."

"Yes. Toretto knows where he is. He's got this thing. It can see everything. It's like...it's called the Devil's Bum Hole or something." She said.

"It's called the God's Eye," Deckard corrects.

"Yeah, well, whatever."

"There's no way I'm using Owen, all right? He's a lost cause." Just as he finished his sentence, Mag slaps his face, though he didn't seem affected by it, just appalled. "He's your brother, Decks. He's my son. He's our family. And our family don't die in bloody cages." Mag turns away, her voice cracking as she feigns sadness. "How can you talk like that about Owen? I can't believe you. You've gone and upset me. You've really upset your mother. Call yourself a brother? You're-"

Decard sighs as his mother pats her eyes with a handkerchief.  "Look, come here...Mum. Okay, okay." Mag turns around and smiled.

He sighs, shaking his head in exasperation. "Every time."

"Eric, get behind me. Hold me steady. I'm gonna get these guys off my ass!" Leslie says. "Moving in behind you! Letty's on your left!" He responds. Letty moves in on her left to help keep her steady. Roman furrows his brows in confusion, "Wait, your name is Eric? Why only she know that?!" Leslie rolls her window down and puts her body out halfway, ignoring Roman's questions. She grabbed her large bazooka and took a breath, making sure Hobbs was out of the way before shooting at one of the trucks, causing a few others to explode as well.

"Oh shit! I think I'm in love man." Tej grinned, watching as Leslie climbed back into her car and steadied herself, Eric and Letty both moving away when they were sure she had it herself. "Hey, back off my woman, please! I had my eyes on her first!" Roman argues, causing Hobbs to roll his eyes, obviously knowing neither of them were gonna get their hands on Creed. "Nah, we was all lookin' at her! She likes me more, man!"

"Keep talking about me like an object and I'll punch in both your faces so much you'll be unrecognizable," Leslie adds calmly, glancing through her window at Eric who was already looking at her. "We got another problem. That truck's got enough missiles to take us all out." He said.

"Then don't give 'em a target. Everybody get in front of us, line up, and we'll take the hit." Hobbs responds. Leslie was quick to do as so, meanwhile Roman did not like this plan. "What?! I need to switch cars right now!" Leslie looks through her rear view, immediately seeing Hobbs get hit with the large missile, luckily the armor protected them, but their back end was still on fire.

"Hang in there, guys! We're almost to the lock." Ramsey adds.

"It's easy for you to say when your ass ain't on fire!" Roman retorts. Leslie chuckles to herself, speeding up to be in sync with Letty. "They're locking on!" Tej warns, seeing the missile truck get ready to target them again. "Sorry, guys. I got no tricks left." Hobbs said. "What do we do now?" Ramsey asks in desperation. "We start prayin'!" Tej retorts.

Suddenly, Dominic appears out of nowhere, rear ending the missile truck which would cause them to shoot the missiles at their own trucks, effectively taking them out. "Hell yeah!" Roman cheered. Dom drives through the fire, the team finally noticing him. "There's Dom!" Letty grinned. Little Nobody looked at him in confusion, "what, is this guy on our side now?"

"Who the hell cares?! He just saved our ass! Good to be riding with you again, man." Tej says. Leslie was quick to move out of the way so Dom could line up next to his wife, wanting to make sure she was okay. Her eyes widened noticing one of the trucks explode. Another torpedo slid on the ice, causing Hobbs to slide it over to the left so it hits the missile truck, effectively making it explode. "Boom, baby!"

Out of nowhere, the submarine launches from the water, taking out all of the trucks. "Oh shit!" Leslie and Tej exclaimed simultaneously. Leslie sped it before it could hit her. "We're gonna need a bigger truck," Hobbs adds. The submarine sinks back down, following the team. "It's right under us! Get out the way!" The sub rises again, right under the team. Leslie's eyes widened as she tried to gain control under the submarine and broken ice.

"Get us out of here!" Roman yells. "Why are you always yelling?!" Hobbs yells back as he then speeds up.

Leslie stepped on the gas and effectively got back on the non broken ice before she was taken with the rest of the separatists. "This bitch is crazy!" Letty exclaims before swerving out of the way of a large ice piece, causing a truck to hit it and explode. "That's not good. That's not good!" Leslie glances back in worry, seeing Letty still not out of the ice. "Please tell me there's nothing to worry about!" Ramsey said.

"We got this." Letty hits her nos and speeds out of the ice, driving next to a proud Dom. "That's my girl." They all speed up, trying to get away from the submarine.

"The sub's too close. We ain't making it to the gate in time." Hobbs said. "We're just going to let it get away?" Ramsey questions, looking to Letty. "Not if I know Dom," she denies. Leslie looks back at the sub, and clenched her jaw, she seen the heatseeker targeting them. Hobbs, also seen this. "That's a goddamn heatseeker coming at us!"

"Peel off! Head to the shore!" Dom orders and the team does as told, separating from Dom. The heatseeker targets him, and he makes a U-turn, driving straight towards the submarine. Dom narrowly misses hitting the sub, which in return the heatseeker hits the sub into an explosion, leaving Dom's fate unknown to the team. Dom dives out of the car, watching it explode. Before the large explosion could hit the man, the team blocks him, protecting him from the fire.

Letty climbs out of the car, walking towards her husband. "You know I never left you, Letty." She embraces him into a hug, "I know," she said. "And you know I never will."

Leslie climbs out of her car, watching Letty and Dom have their moment. Her mind flashes to Deckard, wishing that could've been them. But things never went her way. "Now, that's Dominic Toretto," said Roman. "Hey, Dom! I'm just throwin' it out there, we need to get up outta here cause there's all kinda nuclearism happening under this ice." Leslie glances at him boredly and shakes her head in exasperation.

"Relax. Without the trigger chips, those nukes are harmless," Tej reassures. "Okay, so we good then. Let me go on and get my young selfie levels up." Roman says, lifting up his phone to take some photos. "You realize this is classified, right?" Little Nobody adds, causing Leslie to roll her eyes. He was always so uptight.

Roman grins anyways, "not today."

Eric rolls his eyes. "Unbelievable."

"All right, can we get up outta here now? I'm freezin'!" Roman exclaims. Letty makes her way to her car as Dom approaches an awaiting Leslie. "I want to thank you, for helping my family." He said, obviously noticing how tense she was, and he couldn't blame her, he seen the way she reacted when he shot Deckard. "No thanks needed. You were doing this for your child. I understand the love for a child more than anyone. And besides, I would've done the exact same."

Dom nods, taking her outstretched hand gently. "If it makes you feel better, your brother is safe. I sent someone on the plane to get my son." Leslie sighed in relief, a grateful smile appearing on her face. "Thank you. I can't express how much that means to me." Dom smiles softly. "It's no problem. You're family now, Creed." Leslie chuckles softly, patting his shoulder. He walked away to Letty's car and Ramsey joined Leslie in her car so Letty and Dom could be together.

"Okay, how do we get outta here again?"
