On the way to their destination, Five's paradox psychosis was getting worse and it was making the journey a lot harder than it should have been. In the ten minutes they had been walking he had tried to kick a cat that had walked beside them in fear it had a camera on it. He had tried to run away so now she had a firm grip on the boys arm and wasn't planning on letting go.

She also knew her older self was getting closer to her and she was begging to feel the first few symptoms on the paradox psychosis "you just itched your neck" Five gasped

"I know...i must be getting closer"

"What are you looking at, see something funny?" He growled at civilians walking past the bridge "you wish you could pull off these shorts!"

"Five listen to me very closely" she took a deep breath "i am seconds away from punching you in your pretty little face, okay?" she huffed, running her free hand through her hair

Five made a face at her and muttered a sarcastic remark but did as she said, Luther slowed down and caught up with the two "hey brother, Athena how you doing?" Luther smiled nervously

"Hes gonna kill us isn't he?" She crossed her arms, studying Luther's nervous body language "what" he scoffed, not being able to look her in the eye "what, him?" he pointed to the old man "hes gonna kill you? Yeah right that's ridiculous"

Five and her gave each other a look "luther you know you're a terrible liar" she scoffed
"You're a worse liar than you are a spotter" Five shook his head

"Okay whose fault is that? What good is having a spotter if you wont even listen to him?" Luther desperately tried to explain himself

"So you admit youre conspiring against us?" He hissed, his face shrivelling up

Luther looked between the two, now noticing the sweat beads on the girl's forehead "do..do you admit that you're both suffering from paradox psychosis?"

She grabbed his jacket collar, forcing him to look at her  "All I'm Suffering from is bracing clarity about you and your murderous intentions."

"Look, its not like hes gonna kill you kill you he just wants to kill some um..versions of you" he walked a little faster

"But we are those versions of us" Five ran after him

She dragged her hands down her face, hearing the shuffling of feet behind her "ah, there you are" she turned around, the older version of herself looking down at her with a confused expression and a melting ice cream in her hand

"What the fuc-" she took a step back

"Don't freak out, don't freak out i can explain"  she grabbed her shoulders

"Is this Fives fault? Because i know this" she gestured to the girl "is not our fault"

"It is, I just need you to know.. That we are always right, that equation we wouldn't stop talking about it was wrong, we were right"

She gasped, dropping her ice cream "I knew it! That fucker said i was wrong but-"

"We were right" she grinned "now, i need your help" her tone changed

"Im listening"

She explained to herself what had happened and why they so desperately needed their briefcase "see? We can help each other, you stay the sexy woman you are now and i, save the world and don't end up dead"

"Mh sounds good" she replied crossing her arms

"Really? Just like that? You know Fives conversation with himself was extremely tense and uncomfortable and i'm pretty sure he  tried to get his brother to kill us"

"Well, we both have way too much on our minds. Why make everything more difficult? Us Athenas might as well help each other right? No one else is going to"

"Yeah...that's nice" she smiled but her eyes flickered "but...i just want you to know that we do have people to help us now and...we let them"

"Really?"

"were not alone, not anymore"

"That is nice" The two were silent for a second "are you staring at my boobs?"

"No!- ye- yeah i miss mine" she admitted

"I know" she smiled "i know" there was more silence "so how's your Five? I mean its a miracle we even kept him around right? I thought we would have lit him on fire by now"

"I think about doing that every day" she chuckled "but things are..different i think you could say"

"Different how?" she leant closer to her younger self

"I'm the daddy here!" Five screeched, making the two women's heads turn towards the deranged man who was holding Luther by his collar

"Charming" she stuck her tongue in her cheek
