Five looked to where the scrawny man was pointing, and it turned out to be photographs of the others pinned to a wall.

The man then began explaining; "it all started in 1960, the year Silvertone Omega was released. I was in the middle of a sale when something very strange happened.."

The Boy upped his listening game and showed more interested, that's when he kept explaining. "So, for the past three years, I've witnessed six energy surges in that alleyway out back." He informed, "Same thing happens every time. A bright blue light, then something appears."

Number Five was curious to see if it was his family. "Did you get a good look at any of them?"

"Yeah," he replied, "the second one, and a.. a girl."

His voice seemed hesitant when he mentioned the girl, which was (Y/n) obviously.

"I only saw her once. She fell through the portal but a black shadow thing got sucked out of her. She kept calling some name until it disappeared. She was pretty beat up about that and never came back."

Number Five tensed. Never came back?

The guy seemed to detect a change in emotion so he moved to a different topic. "And then the big sensitive one."

Five turned around to look at the lunatic, "Sensitive?" He echoed.

"Yeah, cried a lot, kept coming back to the alley, sat around for hours, calling a woman's name. Uh.." he thought hard to remember what the name was. He snapped his fingers when he remembered, "Allison."

"Luther." Five mumbled, "and, that girl, what do you remember about her? If you don't mind me asking."

"Of course, yeah." He replied his hands tensing a bit, "She looked really betrayed, if I'm being honest. The poor thing looked like she had just came back from war. One of the most stressed, I'd say. She also had a great big scar on her cheek."

"(Y/n)." Number Five muttered, staring back at the photos. His heart was pounding out of his chest.

"Yeah, and they weren't the only ones. Uh- the others came too, off and over the years. Looking for each other. Eventually, they.. they stopped.." The anxious man explained while trying to figure out where to put his arms. He tried his best to ignore how awkward this boy made him.

"So, my family is alive." The Boy said softly as he looked over the photos. "Shit. I think I stranded them here." He turned back around to the man and began again, "Now, listen to me-"

The scrawny man cowered away as Five got closer. "Elliott. Elliott. My name's Elliott." He stammered as he tripped over his own couch.

"Whatever, alright?" Five snapped as he special jumped in front of him. Elliott leaned back even farther onto his AV equipment in fear. "I got ten days to find them and save the world. Now, I need your help to do that."

Elliott was surprised, "You.. you need.. my.." shockingly, he did finish his sentence when he remembered something. "I always thought that, uh, these pictures looked like arrivals number one and five." He opened a drawer next to him and pulled out two cut out mugshots. He smoothed out both them and then showed Five.

One of them showed Diego. He read the headline that was with it.
