Your pov:

"You've got a good nose"
Handler tells us as Lila continues to gasp and struggle.

"You know, planting her in a psych ward, taking advantage of my simpleton brother, that was smart"
Five tells Handler, finally looking away from Lila.

"Well the apple doesn't fall far from the tree"
Handler speaks, earning a glare from both me and Five.

"Shes your-?"
Five gets cut off,
"Daughter, yes ans she's my only one, so I'd appreciate it if you didn't crush her windpipe"
Handler states, looking down at Lila, who's neck is still being stepped on by Five.

Five sighs and removes his foot off her neck, Lila cries out ans stands up.
"I am so going ro enjoy killing you someday"
Lila tells Five as she catches her breath.

"Of course she's your daughter, explains why she's so good at betrayal"
I tell Handler, throwing my arms out to the side.

"We were friends before though Y/n"
Lila tells me and I turn to her,
"Yeah well a friend doesn't try to kill their friend"
I tell her.

"Oh Lila wasn't trying to kill you"
Handler speaks up and I look at her,
"I need you alive, she was merely trying to, injure you"
She tells me and I scoff.

"Lila darling would you give us a minute please?"
Handler asks Lila and Five smiles,
"Yes, the grow-ups need to talk"
Five tells Lila and she roles her eyes a d walks away, throwing a medal pan as she walks.

"What is it you want?"
Five asks, getting closer to The Handler.
"Do you like jazz, you two?"
Handler asks us and Five backs up.

"I'd rather lick a cheese grater"
Five responds coldly,
She turns to me.

"Do you like jazz Y/n?"
Handler asks me and I laugh,
"Okay Barry Benson"
I snicker.
(Plz tell me someone knows who Barry Benson is)

"Jazz, It's like a beautiful woman, complex, emotional, hard to please, she doesn't just give it to you, she makes you work for it"
Handler states as she circles around us.

"Much like you"
She states, caressing my cheek.
I restrain myself from punching her but this woman just gets on my nerves.

"Im really hoping that your going somewhere with this"
Five tells her as he pushes her hand off my face and pulls me back closer to him.

"Under my leadership, the commission would sound more like, jazz"
Handler tells us as she mimics a soft jazz rhythm.

"And what about the board of directors?"
Five questions.
"That's were you two come in"
She tells us, as she taps my nose with her finger.

"Nope"
Five responds almost instantly,
"No it isn't"
He tells her.

"In exchange for the assassination of thw board, I am willing to to get you and your family out of this timeline and back to 2019 were you belong"
Handler tells us.

"And what about World War lll that's do to kick off in just a few days?"
Five questions her.

"Once you two and your siblings are gone, that goes away"
She states.

"And the apocalypse when we get back to 2019?"
I ask,
"That to"
She tells me.

"I distinctly remember you telling me that the apocalypse had to happen,
That it was supposed to happen"
Five states.

"Back then I was toeing the company line, but once im in charge-"
Handler walks behind me and begins to sway, mimicking the same jazz rhythm.

"We can riff"
She whispers,
"Jazz"
Five and I say in unison.

"Exactly"
She states going back infront of us,
"What about the board of directors hmm?, I mean nobody knows who they are"
Five asks her as he puts his hands through his hair.

"Correct, but once every fiscal quarter they get together for a board meeting"
Handler tells us.

"Were?"
I ask and she turns to me,
"The question is 'when?', they meet somewhere in the time line but never the same place twice, the exact location and date of these board meetings, is the most closely-guarded secrete in the Commission"
She tells us.

"But you know were its going to be don't you?"
Five asks her and she smiles,
"Would I be any good at what I do if I didn't?"
She asks him.

"We need some time to think about it"
Five tells her and she walks back over to the wall,
"Fine, but remember, doomsday is right around the corner,
And the way things are going, im your only option"
She tells us as me and Five walk away.

Five scoffs quietly and turns his head to look at Handler,
"Not yet you aren't"
He tells her before spacial jumping us out of there.

We land in a random alley in town, we walk out of the alley and start to walk back to Eliot's.

"Should we accept her offer?"
I ask Five as we walk,
"Im not sure, we still need to talk to dad first"
He tells me and I nod.

"It's hard to think that there isn't any strings attached, I mean when has there not been a catch with the Handler?"
I ask him and he looks at me,
"Never"
He states.

"No matter what we choose, we will save everyone"
He tells me and kisses my head.
"I love you, I don't think I say that enough"
I tell him and he smiles.
"I love you to"
He tells me.

After a few more seconds I notice something,
"Five?"
I ask him and he hums.

"There's a car following us"
I tell him and he turns around,
He pulls me behind him defensively and the car stops.

Five was full on ready to kill someone needed, but a man steps out of the car, he was relatively old and wore a suit and hat.

He pulled out two envelopes from his pocket and handed them to Five and I,
He than proceeded to get back in the car and drive away.

I looked at Five and we both opened the envelopes,
To my pursuers:
I Reginald Hargreeves, Request the pleasure of your company for a light supper on the 20th of November, 1963 half past seven o'clock, 1624 Magnolia Street.

"Dad invited us for dinner"
I scoff,
"Yep"
Five mumbles.

"Is that how you make up for things here?, stab Diego and then invite him for supper to make up for stabbing him?"
I ask and Five shrugs.

A/n:

Sorry for the wait, I was really busy.

Todays question,
Can you speak any foreign language's?

I can, I speak Greek, French, Swedish, Spanish.
But not fluently.

Have a good day!
