present time

DIEGO AND KLAUS took Riya to Ben's room.

Diego went somewhere, while RIya was sleeping on Klaus' lap and Klaus was high fiving himself.

Riya would question him, but she didn't want to write all that.

The apocalypse was over, she could sleep peacefully.

She could decide later how she would work without talking.

Riya had a peaceful 10 minute nap until the house started shaking.

She woke up... more like fell out and showed Klaus a "why is happening" gesture who shrugged back.

"Doesn't matter, we need to leave!" he rushed towards her and helped her up and started running.

They met up Diego half way.

They were going to find Grace and get out.

But things didn't go as planned.

The ceiling crushed above them and trapped Diego and Riya.

Klaus tried pulling them, but was unsuccessful.

But an external force pulled them which left Riya clueless.  

"You okay? You okay?" he asked the two of them.

Riya nodded.

"Hey, you just saved my life, man." Diego felt proud and hugged Klaus.

Riya raised her eyebrows at him very well knowing it wasn't him.

Klaus shrugged looking at an empty space.

"Could it be?" she thought.

She shook her head, trying to not think too much about anything at this moment.

"Shit. Mom. Mom! - Mom! Get out of there now!" Diego screamed when they saw the house falling apart, with Grace in it.

Grace waved at her son's blowing them a kiss.

"Mom, get out of there! Mom!" They screamed.

Riya wanted to just fall down and cry.

"I'm coming after you!" Diego screamed.

Riya quickly went and held his shirt stopping him.

With a pleading expression on her face.

"No, Diego!" Klaus tried stopping him too.

The house came down.

Grace was gone.

"Klaus, come here. Help me search." He said as he tried to look for his mother in the remains.

"Diego." Klaus pleaded,  "Just stop it. Stop." 

"No, what... What are you... Let me go. What are you doing?"

Riya squeezed his shoulder and gave it a good squeeze shaking her head.

"She's gone, okay? She's..."

"What do you wanna do?" he stutters "You wanna... wanna... walk away from this?"

"No."

"What about Pogo?" Diego asks.

"He didn't make it." Luther says as he comes into the picture, "Vanya killed him."

"But Vanya wouldn't..." 

"No, I saw it." Luther said, "Just before we got out."

"Mom. Now Pogo." Diego said sadly.
