Your point of view:

"We survived on the scraps; canned food, cockroaches. Anything we could find." Five says.
"Literally anything. If we didn't eat that stuff then..we would've starved. We were close to starvation when we finally escaped that hell of a future."
"Oh and you know that rumour that twinkies have an endless shelf life? Well, it's total bullshit."
"I can't even imagine." Says Vanya in a soft voice, a look of sympathy on her face.
"We adapted. Y/n, Dolores and I."
"Wait, Dolores?" She asks, looking confused.
"You got anything stronger?" Five asks, Vanya moves to the kitchen and pours him a glass of whatever type of alcohol. I don't pay much attention to what kind.
"You think we're crazy don't you?" Five continues, taking a sip of his drink.
"No, no I don't really understand. It's just a lot to take in."
"Exactly what don't you understand?"
"Why didn't you just travel back?"
"Gee, wish we'd thought of that. Time travel is a crapshoot. I went into the ice and never acorn-ed. You think we didn't try everything to get back to our family?"
"Okay Five I love you and the sarcasm but now isn't the time for it." I say quickly before he overreacts about something.
Vanya continues to ask questions. Five doesn't answer.
"This was a mistake, you're too young." Five starts to walk to the door.
"Five, Five, wait. Please. Stay here for tonight. I haven't seen you in a long time. You too Eight. I don't wanna lose you, either if you again. You were the only ones that tried to involve me. Look, we can talk again tomorrow. You go di what you need to do and come here at around six." 
Five and I nod, accepting her invite. In response she smiles warmly.
"See you later." I say. Five and I head outside.
"So potential causes of the apocalypse:"
"Seriously Five. Anything could cause it. Literally someone sneezing at the wrong time. Life is so delicate. There's no way of predicting how the hell that mess was caused." I say.
"You're right. As usual. Back to the equations then."
"I guess so." I say as we get into the car and quickly drive off before people notice that we look too young to be driving.

We arrive back at home and instantly go back to the calculations in Five's room. This time I write and he checks.
"I wish there was an easier way of doing this." I say.
"So do I. Why couldn't one of us have an ability that makes us freakishly good at maths and science and well..working out the cause of the end for the human race." Five responds. I laugh a little and continue.

**8 hours later**
Five and I walk back out to the car with the intention of keeping our promise to Vanya. We quickly drive to her apartment building and go to her room. Five and I don't bother knocking and use our spatial jumps to get inside. Vanya quickly turns around with a knife in her hand then puts her other hand on her chest.
"You scared me." She says while turning back around to focus back on cooking I guess.
"Sorry.." I laugh slightly as I say this.
"That sounded very sincere." She says sarcastically and laughs a little too.

Vanya places the food she prepared on the table and we all sit. Without having to wait for the order to like we did last time we all properly ate together. We begin eating.
"So.. you never did tell me who this Dolores is.."
"Dolores in a mannequin we found.. well half a mannequin. Her legs were missing. We found her on one of the first days." I explain.
"..And you named her?"
"Yes. We did. We were young and needed someone else to talk to sometimes." Five says.
"Right..."
"We aren't actually insane. Trust us. Dolores helped us a lot." I say.

We finish eating and Vanya prepares the couch for us to sleep on.
"I hope you don't mind sharing.." She says sounding a little concerned that we will say that we mind.
"Not at all." Five responds simply.
Vanya nods and starts to leave.
"Night." She says quietly.
"Goodnight Vanya." I say and smile at her as she walks to her room.
Five lies down and opens his arms I lie next to him and pull the blankets over us. I turn off the lights and he wraps his arms around me.
"Night Five."
"Night Eight."
I close my eyes and once again drift off into a dream. Something that is happening more and more frequently...
