"I need you, Five Hargreeves. Even though the world is ending. The moon is probably going to explode or the sun will fall and the earth won't ever be the same but at least you are here with me... And that is all I need".
"I would want nothing more t...
"Seconds", Y/n whispered. "Wh-what?", Five mumbled. "Not decades... Seconds", she whispered making Five realize what Reginald had told them in their last meeting.
"Maybe your appetite is disproportional to your ability. Try seconds, not decades".
"Y/n", he whispered as he saw her eyes were closed now and that was something he never wanted to see in his life. Sure he had seen his siblings die in the first apocalypse but not her. He didn't know if she was still okay or not... And he didn't want to know something bad happened to her. But he knew he had to save her, them... His entire family.
Just as the blonde guy raised his gun to most probably kill him, Five summoned up every ounce of power left in him as the electricity starting crackling around his wrists again making their potential danger take a few steps back. And it was working. He desperately wanted this to work because that was the only way he would know Y/n is okay because he didn't even know if she was alive anymore.
He saw her eyes flicker open as his grip on Y/n tightened while she looked around only to see that the things around them had slowly started moving back in time and it things were going just as he wanted them to.
And now that moments were reverse, they were a few minutes back in time where Diego was talking about how they could be Lila's family.
Y/n and Five looked at each other and their own selves examining their bodies for the gun shots but they weren't there anymore.
"We are okay", she mumbled as he nodded while it was time that the Handler joined them.
But Five knew just when the Handler was about to come in so when she did step in, he launched at her grabbing her gun and pointing it towards her this time. The Handler raised her hands in order to defend herself as they rest of their eyes were now on the Handler as well as Lila.
"It's true, isn't it? What Five said. What Y/n said. Answer me! Is it true?", Lila shouted.
"Well-", the Handler was cut off by the Blonde agent showing up and shooting a few bullets down her gut, and that is what it took, making her drop to the ground dead this time. Hopefully for real this.
Lila didn't waste a second, quickly ran towards the briefcase placed there by the Handler prior to the incident.
"The case!", Luther launched towards her only to be stopped by Diego. "No!", he yelled as the pair fall to the ground, Luther toppling over Diego.
Five stared at the Swedish guy still holding guns, both pointing at each other. Five took a second pause, planning on what to do next as slowly dropped the gun on the ground as the others just stared at them in complete silence.
"Enough", Five said earning a few seconds of complete silence from his side. "Inte Mer", he said throwing his gun as well and slowly walking out as if nothing happened.
"I almost had her. Why the hell did you stop me?", Luther asked Diego while he was still on the top of him. "Because... I love her", Diego admitted as they stood back to their feet.
Diego picked up the bracelet that held a sentimental value to Lila and him and that didn't go unnoticed by Y/n.
"Vanya!", Sissy's yell made Vanya realize it wasn't over yet. "Harlan", they rushed downstairs while Y/n pulled Five in for tight hug while he hugged her back tightly.
"Thank God you are okay", she whispered as he slightly pulled away and placed both his hand on her cheeks pulling her in for a kiss. A very desperate one... A serene one too.
"I... I thought I lost you", he whispered as Y/n saw his eyes welled up. "Hey... hey. We are okay", Y/n whispered rubbing his back.
"I am so glad we didn't die for real this time", Y/n mumbled pulling away a bit making Five chuckle a bit, wiping his tears as he rested his forehead against hers.
"Me too, love... Me too. You saved us", he said. "You were the one who worked magic with time", Y/n said.
"I couldn't have done it without you... You were the one who told me to", he said.
"I am sure you would have figured something out yourself. Especially in moments of sheer desperacy", she said.
"No... just... Accept the compliment, Y/n", Five said making her giggle a bit.
"Okay... You should be thankful to me for the rest of your life", she said. "I always am", he said as he hugged her tightly again making her wince a bit.
"What?", Five asked. "My shoulder", she whispered. "Oh no. I forgot. I am so so sorry. I just thought we were okay", he said.
"I get it... Only I got hurt a few minutes before the actual- Anyways... We should check go on Harlan", Y/n said as he wrapped his arm around her waist, keeping her close while they walked downstairs only to see a familiar energy bubble with Vanya and Harlan in it.
"Is Vanya... Are those? Wait, what is going on?", Y/n asked.
"She is taking her powers back?", Five said in a unsure tone and it sounded more like a question.
"That can happen?", Y/n asked. "It seems so", Diego said.
"It's over".
