Y/n was walking in the back alley looking for Five. "Where are you, Five?", she mumbled as she looked at the empty street.
There was no sign of Five anywhere and she had been looking for quiet some time now.
"Looking for your husband?", a familiar voice said.
Turning around, she saw the very familiar woman dressed in a loose golden outfit shining bright with a cheetah fur collar.
"H-how are you-", she was cut off.
"Alive? No thanks to you and Five. I was so wrong about you. Here I thought you were such a sweetheart but you... you helped Five blow up the Commission?", she asked walking closer to her, her red heels making the clicking sound.
"In my defense... I had no idea what Five was planning. And... you were going to let billions of people die", Y/n said.
"And that makes it right?", she asked.
"I suppose not... Why are you here?", Y/n asked as she smirked at her.
"I see you have started acting more like Five... Is it the hormones?", the Handler asked.
"If you know everything so well... why don't you put your cigar away?", Y/n asked as she let out a chuckle.
"Getting feisty... It's like the little puppy turned into a wild cat", she said making Y/n sigh.
"Where is Five?", Y/n asked. "Oh Lila is giving him a taste of his own medicine... quite literally", she smiled.
"Lila? She is working with you?... No wonder why Five didn't like her", Y/n mumbled.
"Follow me. I will lead you to Five", she said. "Why would I believe you?", Y/n asked.
"Have I given you a reason not to?", she asked. "Plenty", Y/n shrugged.
"I am quite a woman of my words, if you have noticed. Besides... I am looking for an alliance with Five. You might be the perfect motivation he needs", the Handler smirked.
"So you want a hostage?", Y/n asked.
"Barely... I just need him to listen", she said.
"You don't need me for that", Y/n said making her smile again.
"Come on".

"Why are you so quiet?", the Handler asked. "You are planning on killing me?", Y/n asked.
"No! Why would you ever think that?", the Handler asked dramatically.
"Then you could shed some light on why are you bringing me to an abandoned factory?", Y/n asked.
"That's where Five is... with Lila... alone", she said making Y/n sigh.
"You are disgusting sometimes", Y/n said.
"You know... for someone who thinks I am going to kill them... You are awfully stupid", the Handler said.
"Oh I know... That is indeed a very foolish move. But what I also know is that you wouldn't be here if you didn't need Five to do something for you. And if you kill me... Five would never listen to you", Y/n said.
"Smart girl. I really like this improvement in you", she said as they walked closer to the door.
"You're better than I thought", Y/n heard Lila's voice.
"And you are entirely average", Five replied as she sighed in relief knowing she was in the right place.
"You can come out now", Five said as the Handler walked closer to the pair.
"Well done. You figured it out", she said.
"Well, it wasn't very hard. She fights like every one of you Commission drones", Five said as Y/n quickly ran towards Five.
"What are you doing here?", Five asked as his expressions turned to a worried one.
"Bumped into her on the way", Y/n looked towards the Handler making Five a bit confused. "
It was not a pleasant walk, trust me", Y/n said as he nodded in understanding.
"Hmm. No matter, here we are. Together again", she said, Y/n then looked at Lila who was on the ground with Five's boot pressing on her neck.
"Let her go, Five. You will hurt her bad", Y/n said.
"You don't know what she is... She is not just any person", Five argued loosening his pressure on her but not enough for her to stand up on her own.
"I've gotta ask... did you both miss me, you little shits?", she asked as Lila started chuckling making Y/n look at her confused.
She was almost passing out getting choked and she was crazy enough to be... mocking it?
"You've got a good nose. You know, planting her in a psych ward, taking advantage of my simpleton brother, that was smart", Five said.
"Well, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree", she said making Five and Y/n's necks to quickly tilt into her direction.
"She's you-", Five was cut off.
"Daughter. Yes. And she's my only one, so I'd appreciate it if you didn't crush her windpipe", the Handler said calmly as Five finally let her go. She gasped for air as she finally stood up panting.
"I am so going to enjoy killing you both someday", she chuckled.
"Lila, darling, would you give us a minute, please?", she asked.
"Yes, the grown-ups need to talk", Five added. "You too, Y/n dear", she said as Five looked at Y/n who nodded in reassurance.
Y/n walked towards Lila who was sitting one of the old machines there.
"I'd rather lick a cheese grater", Y/n heard Five's voice making her smile a bit.
"Jazz is like a beautiful woman. Complex, emotional, hard to please. She doesn't just give it to you... she makes you work for it", the Handler said.
"I'm really hoping that you're going somewhere with this", Five said annoyed.
"Under my leadership-", Y/n was hearing the Handler but that was cut short.
"You need to stop eaves dropping. What the point of sending you away? He is going to tell you anyway. It's not like he hides things from you", Lila smirked as Y/n stared at her.
"How did you end things with Diego?", Y/n asked as Lila was caught a bit off guard but she composed it quickly.
Y/n could hear the Handler mimicking the sound of soft jazz music making her shake her head confused. Were the even getting anywhere with it?
"Why do you care?", Lila asked.
"Because Diego happens to be something important to me. And you have hurt him... bad", Y/n said.
"It's not my fault he is an idiot", Lila said.
"You know... I can see you really like him", Y/n said.
"Please... don't act like you know everything. I am not going to be anything like that. I am doing my work and if you can see all that shit... you are hallucinating. Wake up", Lila rolled her eyes.
"You are denial", Y/n said. "Please... If you think that-", Lila was cut off.
"I don't think anything... But its about time you make some decisions for yourself. Like who to love. It's your choice, Lila... Don't let others take it away from you. Diego might actually like you", Y/n said as she followed back to Five who was still talking to the Handler.
"I need some time to think about it", Five said as he grabbed Y/n's hand and started walking out.
"Fine... But remember, doomsday's right around the corner, and the way things are going... I'm your only option", she said as Five came to a halt.
"Not yet, you aren't", he scoffed softly as he looked at Y/n.
"Can we just get out of here?", he whispered as she understood he was referring to his powers.
"Fine... Let's go".
