"The universe is ending, and we're all going to die." Lila explains to Diego with a smile avoiding eye contact

"Shame" You mutter sarcastically rolling your eyes. Everyone falls into silence and you lean on a pillar to avoid everyones gaze but your head shoots up as you feel a wave of energy pass through you and see loads of people disappearing like dust particles

"What the hell was that?" Diego questioned raising his voice as he looked around

"That was a Kugel wave. Oh, it's getting worse." Five mutters under his breath

"How come none of us disappeared?" You ask Five. Fives eyes lighten up as you are talking to him again but he doesn't know the answer to your questions so he only shrugs in reply making you sigh and look back at the ground

"How long do we have?" Luther questions with wide eyes leaning on the bar counter

"At this rate of escalation if you factor in—" Five starts his explanation but gets cut off by Luther

"How long, Five!?" Luther shouts fed up making Five take a deep breath

"Four, maybe five days before the rest of existence is blitzed" Five answers more simply and everyones breaths hitched. Allison gasping for air as she walks away from the group hiding behind a pillar

"We should've given them Harlan and Y/n" Luther speaks up after a couple minutes of silence

"Luther" Viktor whispers

"What about Harlan and Y/n?" Diego questions with a raised eyebrow

"The Sparrows said if we turned them over, we could end the fighting, and then work together to save the world. But if we didn't—" Luther explains but gets cut off

"But we tried to make peace. Okay, and then the step-siblings from hell attacked, kidnapped you, and they tried to kill us. I mean, come on. We can't trust them. Working together would be like trying to defuse a bomb by pouring gas on it. It's only gonna make things burn down faster." Viktor interrupts Luther making you scoff as you want to go back to the Sparrow Academy

"But don't we need the big bad glow-y thing in their basement?" Klaus questions unaware
of the information he's spilled

"Klaus, do you know where the Kugelblitz is?" Five questions with a raised eyebrow as he turns his body sideways to face his brother holding a shot glass in his hand

"Oh, yeah. I saw it. When I visit Dad. It's in the old storage room where mum used to keep all her luggage" Klaus says pouring himself another drink

"Why didn't you tell anyone!?" Diego scolds

"I did. I told you!" Klaus defends himself

"You say stupid shit all the time!" Diego snaps back

"Of course It appeared in the same place we did" Five mutters to himself

"Important stupid shit." Diego adds on

"That's not your fault? I'm inside your brain pulling levers and stuff? Serious..." Klaus starts
