"Oh, anything you can do I can do better," SHe said as she released an invisible string to grab a cast iron skillet off the stove. He spacial jumped and she was quick to follow in suit. Y/n laid on the floor catching her breath. "Man, if that's what it feels like to be under my power, I might just stop using it," She slowly got back up on her feet and walked outside. She saw the others and joined them. "Diego, you're girlfriend is fucking crazy," Y/n groaned as she walked up to them. "She just used my powers against me to make me fight my own boyfriend," They all glanced at each other. "So, that finalizes it. SHe's one of us," Klaus said as she clasped his hands together. Y/n looked at them with a confused face. "We'll explain it later,"

They all trudged to the barn and stood outside the door listening in on the conversation Lila and Five were having. It solidified everything they needed to know. " 'Cause you're one of us," Diego spoke up as he walked inside the barn. "The Handler stole you, Lila. Just like our father stole all of us," Diego said as he inched closer to her. "No, it's not the same," "You're right because he didn't have our parents murdered," Diego told her how they all had the same birthday. "Stay back!" She yelled. Y/n ran to Five and stood beside him. "I trusted you," Lila said as she looked at Diego. "I got you a job, I even introduced you to my mother and then you took off on me," "Because I needed to save the world!" Diego shouted. "She's using you, Lila," "You're wrong. She raised me. She loves me," Lila argued. "Yeah, you know what?" Luther spoke up. "Love shouldn't have to hurt this much,"

Lila gaged at Luther's statement. "We have to kill her," Five said as he inched closer to her. Diego stopped him. "She's dangerous. And you're scared of what she'll do with all that new power. That's why you dragged me to the Commission. Because I know what it's like to love dangerous people," Diego said as he looked her in the eyes. "The difference is...They love me back," Lila pulled her knife on him threatening him to shut up. "The only thing she loves is power. Now the minute she can't use you, she'll turn on you, and deep down I know you know that," "You don't know me, Diego," Diego inched even closer to her forcing her to withdraw her knife. "I know that we can be your family if you just let us," Lila glanced at everyone with teary eyes. It was quiet for a moment.

Loud bangs went off and everyone dropped dead to the ground. All except for Lila. The Handler walked inside with a smug smile on her face. Lila had now figured everything out and asked the Handler a question she wasn't even going to give a second thought to. Lila was shot dead. Five let out a gasp and weakly moved. "Oh, good! You're alive," The handler smiled as she looked at the dying boy. "You got to see how all of this played out," She smiled as she pointed her gun at him to give him the final blow. She was about to pull the trigger until someone shot her. It was one of the Swedish men.

Five had laid on the ground struggling to stay alive as the Swed aimed his gun at the boy. Five desperately tried to think of something quick. He remembered how Reginald had told him that seconds could make the biggest difference and that was his only hope. He began to channel his energy into a spacial jump causing him to turn back in time. Once he had finished everyone was alive again in their same spots. He waited by the barn door until the Handler barged in with her gun, Five quickly apprehended her and stole her gun, using it against her. "It's true, isn't it? What five said?" Lila asked. "Well-" The Handler started. She was cut short due to the Swed shooting her.

"The case!" Luther shouted trying to stop Lila from taking off with it. Diego interfered and stopped him. Five kept his gun aimed at the Swed with a tense silence. "Enough," Five spoke up dropping his gun. "Inte me," He breathed as he too dropped his gun. He walked off and left the group. "Who the hell was that guy?" Klaus exclaimed. "Vanya! Help!" Sissy called out. The others rushed to the bottom bunker where Harlan was curled up in a corner. "Harlan? Harlan!" Vanya called out as he rushed to the boy breaking through the force field around him. "Whatever I gave you I can take it back, okay? We just, we just need to stop this,"

Everyone watched as Vanya absorbed her powers from the boy with confused faces. He finally let out a surge of energy and the force field around him powered down. Sissy immediately hugged her son and Vanya smiled at everyone for a job well done. "We knew you could do it," Y/n smiled. Everyone shuffled out of the barn and Diego noticed someone blip into the field. "Five, take a look," Five and Y/n looked out into the field and saw two of the commission employees standing in the bodies examing ht aftermath. The three walked up to the commission employees. "Herb, Dot," Five greeted. "Sup, Herbie," Diego smiled as he greeted his friend with a handshake. "I can't believe it," Herb sighed. "Is she...?" "Really dead this time?" Five completed his sentence. "Oh yeah," Diego answered. "Thank god," Y/n breathed.

"Now that the Handler's gone, what happens at Commission?" Five asked. "Just tell them," "Well, uh, we need to elect a new board of directors. But, until then, I, uhm...," Herb trailed off trying to figure out how to deliver the news. "I've been voted in as acting chairperson," "Wow, congrats, Herbie. That's huge," Diego smiled. "I'm so goddamn nervous," "You'll do fine," Five smiled. The man thanked the boy for his kind words. "Herb we need a favor," Five asked. "Oh sure, anything," Herb answered more than ready to help. "A briefcase. To get back home, where we belong," Herb nodded and turned around to the field of Commission workers. "Take your pick,"

Y/n smiled and looked at Five. "We did it," He smiled and pulled her in for a hug. The world was now safe and everything was restored, the only thing now was to get back home. "As much as I liked it back home, I am gonna miss it over here," Y/n sighed as she looked around. The two stayed silent for a moment. "Do you think we did it? Like saved the world and all that stuff?" "I honestly don't know," Five sighed. Y/n grabbed his hand and held it. The two were silent, just listening to each other breathing. "Let's go get the others," Y/n said as she walked up to the house. Five nodded. "I'll go get a case," Five said walking into the field of dead commission workers and grabbed a briefcase.

He met the others outside and they all circled around him. "Everyone ready?" He asked glancing at everyone. They all nodded and gave to go ahead. "Wait!" Klaus exclaimed before he ran to the house and grabbed his hat from earlier. "Fifty bucks and we leave him here," Y/n playfully slapped his arm. "100 and we leave him here," Y/n smiled as she signaled to Diego. Everyone joined hands and Five opened the briefcase, causing a big blue cloud to swallow them. They all blipped back into the living room of the academy. Everyone groaned as they landed. "What day does it say?" Luther breathed as he looked at the newspaper. "April 2nd, 2019. A day after the apocalypse," Five read. "We did it!" Y/n cheered as she gave Five a hug.

Everyone else cheered and all walked into the living room. "Why is there a painting of Ben over the mantelpiece?" Diego asked. "I knew you'd show up eventually," Everyone turned to the voice. "Dad," "You're alive," Luther gasped. "Why shouldn't I be?" "Y-yeah, you're right. I'm just happy that we're home and together again," Luther said in disbelief. "Home? This isn't your home," "What are you talking about? This is the Umbrella Academy," Allison questioned. "Wrong again," Reginald corrected. "This is the Sparrow Academy," Everyone turned around when they heard footsteps. "Dad, who the hell are these assholes?"

"Shit,"
