We stopped a few feet away from Old Five. He farted as he bent down to open his case.

"Flatulence. Stage four," Luther says shocked.

"So? What's your plan now, bucko?" Five asks right before he farts.

I laugh but quickly cover my mouth.

Five glared at me, "that was just lunch all right? Shut up."

I chuckle, "sure it was, hunny."

I patted his back.

Five walked away and I turned to Luther.

"What is it, Y/N?" He asks.

"You lay a finger on my Five and I will kill you," I said.

His eyes widen and I walked over to Five leaving him in shock.

It's so not me to threaten anyone, but I just got Five back, I can't lose him again.

I take Five's hand and lay my head on his shoulder.

"Hi, beautiful," he kisses my head and looks back at old Five.

"Hi, handsome," I said as we watch Old Five put his gun together.

"This is my favorite part. The calm before the storm," Old Five says.

Luther walks over to us. He's counting something. 

Fives starts breathing heavily.

I lift my head up and looked at him, "hey, look at me."

His eyes meet mine for a few seconds before he goes back to staring at something else, "look. The briefcase."

My eyes widen, "Five, no."

"No, don't you won't be able to get there in time," Luther said.

"Of course I will," Five says.

I place my hand on his cheek, making him look at me, "Please don't be stupid."

He shakes his head, "This is our only chance."

"Hey, uh just remind me... what was the final stage of paradox psychosis again?" Luther asks.

"Homicidal rage," Five says not taking his eyes off the briefcase.

"Right. That's great" Luther says sarcastically, "Five, listen to me. I..."

Five starts walking towards the briefcase.

"Five, no," I try grabbing his hand but he swats mine away.

He slowly sneaks behind old Five before spatial jumping.

But at the same time, old Five spatial jumped back to Fives spot.

"Oh... shit," Luther and I say at the same time.

Five looks at us wide eyed. 

"Bad idea, shit-heel," old Five says pointing his gun at Five.

Luther walks up and snatches the gun from him, "stop it! All right? The both of you. Pull it together."

Five walks over and stands in front of Luther.

"Now, Kennedy is gonna be coming around that corner any minute. Okay? So, everyone, let's just take a deep breath..."

We all do as we're told and take a deep breath.

"Now, we're all family here, okay? So can we all just try to get along for a few more minutes?" Luther asks.

Both Fives look at each other.
