"... Or the highlights in your hair
That catch your eyes
I have been blind
The lady in red~"

DIEGO WAS GATHERING up a crate full of Molotov cocktails that had pieces of cloth stuck into it. The next time he sees the Sparrows, he planned on lighting them up and throwing these onto them.

".. is dancing with me
Cheek to cheek~"

He was so concentrated with his work until he heard Luther singing along to Lady in Red with his headphones on. It confused Diego to see him like this, care-free and chill. He was usually on edge about something and brags about being Number One.

The both of them didn't realize Diego was staring at Luther. When he saw him looking at him confusingly, Luther figured out that he was singing too loud with his headphones on. He then saw the crates Diego was piling up, "What's with the bottles?" Asked Luther.

"Molotov Cocktails." Diego answered, quickly following up with his own question, "What's with the music?" He found it odd that Luther was only listening to music in the middle of this distorted timeline.

Luther immediately, but badly covered it up. "None of your biz." He drawled.

Soon enough, Y/N walked in the bar. "What's up, guys?" She greeted, noticing Luther's headphones and the cassette recorder on the table. "What, you creating a soundtrack for the Umbrella Academy just like how the Sparrows have one?"

Diego didn't understand what she was talking about until he picked up Luther's small list and read it out loud for Y/N to hear. "Phil Colins. Neil Diamond." He read the two artists' names. "You're making a mixtape?" He asked. Mainly to get him ridiculed.

Luther looked at him with gritted teeth, finding the situation awkward and embarrassing. He tried to avoid the topic, "Shouldn't you be watching your kid?" So he replied to his brother with another question.

"Dude, I got that parenting thing down, all right?" Thankfully, worked. "The trick is, you give 'em a little trust, and everything falls into place." Diego smiled victoriously whilst saying this to Luther and Y/N, who was busy looking through Luther's list of songs to put in his tape as she listened to Diego going on about his day. "Now, I've been working on our defense." He rambled on. "Now, let's talk offense, all right?"

Diego got himself comfortable on a stool while Y/N hopped in to the other side of the counter, considering Luther's biceps were blocking her away from the conversation. "What's our Sparrow plan attack? I got the rest of the afternoon." She could tell that he was so looking forward to plan an attack against the Sparrows. Since she's got nothing to do until Five and Lila come back from the Commission, she figured she might as well join in the conversation even though she wasn't planning on kicking some Sparrow butt.

But Luther wasn't too excited as he just went back to his mixtape. "Relax, Vanya and Allison handled it." He said to Diego.

"It's Viktor." Y/N corrected, making Luther confused as to who Viktor was. "What?" He asked.

"Vanya's Viktor now." Diego said.

"What else did I miss when I was kidnapped?" Luther questioned the both of them. Now, he was bummed about being the last person to know about Viktor's transition.

Y/N tried her best ignore the fact that Viktor and Allison were doing their own thing without giving any notice at all. Of course, she understood that they were only trying to put everything back to the way it was. But was it that hard to at least let us know? She thought, Even if it was just me?

"Jesus, Luther. Not everything's about you, all right? So?" Diego finished his point off with a nod. The girl put all her attention back to the scattered cassette tapes on the bar while he went back to approaching him about the Sparrows.
