"No matter what you do, someone will always talk about you, someone will always question your judgment, someone will always doubt you, so just smile and make the choice you can live with"

The sound of distant explosions booming was heard as Luther was sitting on the edge of the Academy, looking down at a book he have found in Sloane's room.

He let out a sigh as he looked up and out on the destroyed city.

"Are you avoiding me?" Sloane asked and he turned around to look at her.

"Busted" he said and she chuckled as he turned around before he jumped down.

He then cleaned his throat as he walked over to stand in front of her.

He let out a sigh as he showed her the book "My travel guide?" she asked as she looked up at him.

"I, uh, made you a new list" he said and she grabbed it "It's all your favorite Italian monuments that are still left standing, color-coded by region, of course" he said with a smile and she let out a soft chuckled "Nerd" she said with a smile.

"Well, you just saved the world. You deserve to finally see it" he said and she looked at him before looking back down at her book, flipping through the pages.

"And...I'd like to see it with you" he said and she stopped when she spotted a ring in between two pages.

She picked it up to see it was a golden ring with a moon stone.

"I, um...I made it myself. I couldn't exactly find a diamond on short notice, but the stone is moon rock. Um, I brought it back with me, and I've kind of been keeping it for a special occasion, and, well, I--" "Luther, it's beautiful" she said as she looked at him and he smiled.

He then lifted his hand and he slowly took the ring before he took her hand and slowly got down on one knee.

"Sloane, will you marry me?" he asked and she smiled before she nodded and chuckled causing Luther to smile.

Luther slide the ring on her finger and while looking at each other he got up before they kissed.

Both Jane and Five was laying in the bed next to each other.

Five have told her everything he have done when she wasn't with him.

"Wait, hold on. So we are the founders of The Commission" she said and he nodded "We are" he said "Well, that is a surprise" she said "Lila and I went to The Commission to fount it all being in ruins" Five said "Shit, so this paradox had effecting places even out of time" she said "Long story short, I saw a statue of our future dog Riley that was guarded two machines where one was empty" he said.

My mother said I'm too romantic
She said, "You're dancing in the movies"
I almost started to believe her
Then I saw you and I knew

"There were pictures of us together, showing a life we haven't live yet. My 100-year-old self was in one of those machines and you were suppose to be in the other one. But I talked with my 100-year-old self who said he didn't manage to save you" he said.

Maybe it's 'cause I got a little bit older
Maybe it's all that I've been through
I'd like to think it's how you lean on my shoulder
And how I see myself with you

"Wait...So I died for good this time?" she asked "Yes, however I'm going to change your fate. We've cheated death before, haven't we, especially you" he said "Yeah, but in the end, death claimed us all" she said.

I don't say a word
But still, you take my breath and steal the things I know
There you go, saving me from out of the cold

"I know, but I'm not going to let anything happen to you" he said "How do I die?" she asked "That's the problem, I don't know. So I want you with me at all times. Got it? No more sacrifice your life or putting it at risk without telling me about your plan" he said and she looked at him.

Fire on fire would normally kill us
But this much desire, together, we're winners
They say that we're out of control and some say we're sinners
But don't let them ruin our beautiful rhythms

"I watch you die one time, I'm not going watch you die again. You're staying with me all times. Got it" he said and she nodded "Of course, we are staying together all the time, partners in crime, till death to us apart" she said "Till death to us apart" he said before he stroke his thumb over her cheek.

'Cause when you unfold me and tell me you love me
And look in my eyes
You are perfection, my only direction
It's fire on fire, mmm
It's fire on fire

"It was scary seeing you not remember me" he said "I'm glad you didn't gave up on me" she said "Come on. I'd never give up on you...or us. I never did gave up on you, even when everyone told me I should" he said and she smiled "And that's one of the reasons I love you" she said.

When we fight, we fight like lions
But then we love and feel the truth
We lose our minds in a city of roses
We won't abide by any rules

"Sometimes, I try to think of what my life would be like without you. What I'd be like or what I'd do with my days. It's so hard because so much of who I'm now is due to you. You've challenged me, inspired me, encouraged me, and supported me. And it's because of all this that I'm the person I'm today" she said "I feel the same way, I don't think I would be here today or be the person I'm now, if I hadn't met you" he said.

"Being in love with you makes everyday worth living for...I'll never leave you, I promise you that! No matter how hard times get, I'll continue to choose you, and I'll fight for this love to never die. I'll protect you and I'll protect our love...I'll care for you...Until my last breathing, because there's no one else like you" she said before she took a deep breath.

"You're so special to me, you're my favorite person, I've never met more beautiful, perfect, kind and caring person than you. Thank you so much for everything you've done for me. You saved my life so many times and you're the only reason why I am still here. I just wanna let you know that you're enough and you mean the world to me. I don't know what I would do without you. I'm so thankful for you. The only thing I want from you is to never leave my side" she said "I promise, never" he said.

I don't say a word
But still, you take my breath and steal the things I know
There you go, saving me from out of the cold

"I will always fight for this love and for you and us. I will keep choosing you, I will protect you and our love until my last breath. You are my favorite person ever and I love you with all my heart. Whenever I am around you nothing else matters, you make me forget all of my problems and you mean the world to me and I'm forever grateful to have you" he said "I may not be able to tell you this every day but I just want you to know that you mean the world to me. The day you stepped into my life you changed it into something so beautiful and meaningful and when I look at you, I just think how did I ever get so lucky to have someone like you in my life? You bring out the best of me in a way no one else really can. You mean so much to me and I'm so glad I have met you" she said and he smiled "I'm so glad that I have met you too" he said.

"Sometimes I'm difficult, stubborn, moody, indecisive, and unpredictable. Sometimes I have a bad temper and I'm overly sarcastic. I can be really crazy just because one little thing pisses me off. But you love me anyway. You accept me for who I am and you work around it and stand by me. Thanks you for putting up with my nonsense when no one else will, not ever me. With you, I act different, in a good way. I smile more and laugh more. I don't have to pretend everything is okay when it's really not. With you, I can drop a fake smile and put on a real one. I don't feel hurt and alone when I'm with you. Instead I feel safe and loved. You're easy to talk to, and you listen to me. I don't have to worry about holding back with you. I don't feel self conscious. I don't ever feel insecure or sad, you show me that you really do care, and you're not just pretending" she said "You did the same to me" he said and they both chuckled.

"You will forever be in my heart, no matter what comes between us. I love you with all my heart and soul. You have been the one to show me what real love looks like and what it feels like to be loved. We have made so many memories that I will keep forever. I'm happy to call you my home and I will forever love you" she said.

Fire on fire would normally kill us
But this much desire, together, we're winners
They say that we're out of control and some say we're sinners
But don't let them ruin our beautiful rhythms

"I'm telling you, you're the one that I spend my whole life with. You're gonna be the one I want to make endless memoires with and love forever. There isn't anything that can change that. We are perfect for each other. You are my one in a lifetime person and you are my tomorrow" she said "And you are mine" he said and she smiled "I'll never stop reminding you how much you mean to me and how much I love every part of who you are" she said "And I will do the same" he said "Looking back on the first day we ever talked is kinda crazy to think about because I never would have guessed then that every day since, we would slowly build the most unbreakable bond, and you would be the person I get to spend the rest of my life with, standing by your side" she said before taking a deep breath.

"You are the only one in my life who truly understands me at my worst, who can feel every emotion of my heart and who can listen to every single thing that my heart wants to say but can't find words to say. You are the only one who can love me perfectly, even with my mood swings whether they are terrible or amazing. I know you will always be there for me, no matter what happens in our lives and you are the only one in this whole messed up world who can take care of my heart and soul. You mean everything to me and no matter what I say to you, it is absolutely impossible to explain what I have in my heart for you and how my soul feels connected to you every single moment of my life. You are my best friend, you are my light, my hope and my one and only soulmate" she said and his eyes widened "Woah, I didn't know that those words could come out of your mouth" he said "Well, if you meet the right one, you can be soft around them" she said with a smile "I promise I'll always love you, no matter what" she said "I promise I will always love you too" he said as they stared into each other's eyes.

There he laid and was looking at her in a way no one had ever looked at her. She have explained her knotted past and try to warn him that she will not always be easy to hold onto, for her heart is scattered with thorns. Sometimes she will be quiet and he won't know how to pull her from her weeded mind. Sometimes she'll forget what he sees in her and lose her balance. Sometimes she'll trip over her own feet and apologize for the mess she made. On those times, the one thing that will drag her out of her own labyrinth is that look, he can give her. Because no one has ever looked at her quite like that, but him.

"Your true colors are beautiful, and I love every parts of you, even the parts you may think are flawed. You don't have to pretend or hide behind a mask with me, because I love you for who you truly are, and I always will. Always be yourself because that's who I fell in love with" he said and she smiled.

'Cause when you unfold me and tell me you love me
And look in my eyes
You are perfection, my only direction
It's fire on fire, oh
It's fire on fire

"So now when we have saved the world, what's the plan?" she asked "I don't know. Maybe if we are lucky, we can get a White German Shepherd puppy and then settle down, retire together, as we planned" he said.

Fire on fire would normally kill us
But this much desire, together, we're winners
They say that we're out of control and some say we're sinners
But don't let them ruin our beautiful rhythms

"I would love that, cause I'm done with all the killing, all the missions and all of that" she said "Me too" he said before he took a deep breath.

Fire on fire would normally kill us
But this much desire, together, we're winners
They say that we're out of control and some say we're sinners
But don't let them ruin our beautiful rhythms

"Well, I better get up, I need to talk to Viktor before we are leaving" he said as he got up "Can I come?" she asked "I was actually going to ask you. Cause I'm not letting you out of my sight" he said "Well, you also said that you were going to follow everywhere for the rest of your life and I said I was also going to follow you, so it would be weird, if we didn't" she said and he smiled before they both got up and put their clothes back on.

'Cause when you unfold me and tell me you love me
And look in my eyes
You are perfection, my only direction
It's fire on fire

"But then we go back in here for a round two" he said "Absolutely" she said before they looked at each other "I love you" he said "I love you more" she said "I love you the most" he said before they smiled to each other.

You are perfection, my only direction
It's fire on fire

Diego was sitting up on the second floor, looking at the paintings that was hanging on the wall when Lila walked over to him.

"Sorry about your robot mum" Lila said "She wasn't my real one" Diego said "Okay" she said before she sighed "Sorry I lied to you about Stanley. I miss him too, you know. I liked that little shit and his wonky ears" she said and he looked at her "He deserved better" he said "Yeah, he did" she said and he looked back at the paintings.

"Do you know why I brought him to you?" she asked "Because you're a sociopath?" he said "No. Because I'm a coward" she said and he looked at her "Dropping a kid in your lap and seeing if you're reject us and run felt safer than telling you the truth" she said "Which is?" he asked "I'm pregnant, Diego" she said.

There was a few second of silence before he got up and was about to walk away but she stopped him "Diego" she said, grabbing his arm and turned him around to look at her.

"I'm pregnant" she said again and his eyes widened as he look at her knowing that she was telling the truth.

"I'll pee on whatever stick you want later, but for now, please, can you just..." she said before they both sat down and he sighed.

"My mum put a bullet in my heart. Did you know that?" she asked "Yeah. Five told me. How did you know?" he asked "Infinite Switchboard. I missed your stupid face, so I snuck in to get a glimpse of you. And instead...Thing is, I'm not gonna be very good at this...mother thing. Apples and trees. But I saw you with Stan, and you're a good dad" she said "What do you want from me, Lila?" he asked "Okay. Truth? I think you should run from me" she said and chuckled "I, um...I think I'm a bloody mess. And I think that someone who's...who never had a family is in no position to ask for one. But that's what I want. With you" she said.

There was a few second silence before he spoke up "Can I think about it?" he asked and she chuckled "Yeah. Of course" she said and he sighed.

Five knocked on a door as he opened it and enter to see Viktor sitting on a couch "Hey, want some company?" Five asked "Sure" Viktor said "Okay" Five said and the partners in crime entered.

"Jane" Viktor said "Hey, Viktor. Good to see you" she said "Do you remember?" Viktor asked and she nodded "I remember everything" she said "That's wonderful" Viktor said and Jane smiled as Five closed door before they walked farther into the room.

"Hey, that was really nice of you. Kill Mom so Diego didn't have to" Viktor said as Five walked over to the desk "My God. We are a weird family, aren't we" Five said as he grabbed a small box on the desk "Sorry. Yeah, I heard it as I said it" Viktor said "It's all right" Five said as he sat down on a chair next to the couch while Jane sat down on a chair next to him.

Five put the box on the coffee table before he opened it and exhales sharply as he took a cigar out of the box, before putting his right leg over his left.

"What are we gonna do about Allison?" Viktor asked "We're all worried about Allison. I'm scared for you" Five said "Seriously?" Viktor asked "Yeah" Five said as he leaned back.

"She killed someone. I was trying to do the right thing and save Harlan's life" Viktor said "Do you know why I wanted this last jump to work so badly?" Five asked him "Because you're tired?" Viktor replied "Because we've slaughtered a boardroom full of people to buy our way back here" Five said as he glanced at Jane and Viktor glanced at Jane who nodded "We did" she said "Shit" Viktor said.

Viktor hasn't realized just how much Five had done for their family until now. He didn't know what he did so they could get back. He hasn't realized just how much Five sacrificed and lived through for them.

"Little advice from someone who's been there?" Jane said as Five leaned forward a bit "Don't do the math" Jane said as she shook her head "That equation does not exist. Theres no 'save five Harlans for every two Claires' formula. People like us, we will never save enough lives to make up for the ones that we take" Five said.

"I don't accept that" Viktor said "Then you'll drown. This is the price of being powerful. Sometimes we step on ants" Jane said "And the sooner you face that, the safer we'll all be" Five said "What is that supposed to mean?" Viktor asked "It means you're very dangerous, Viktor Hargreeves" Jane said "The decisions you make impact the entire world. So no matter how benevolent they may seem, you don't get to make them alone" Five said and Viktor looked down.

"You know what they call a superhero who works alone and doesn't listen to anybody?" Five said "A villain" Jane finishing and Viktor looked at them.

"I am not a villain" Viktor said "And, Viktor, I hope to God you never will be" Five said "But that remains to be seen" Jane said as Five put the cigar back in the box before they got up as Five let out a sigh.

"No more going rouge. If you ever need anything, I'm always here for you" Five said "Me too" Jane said "But lie to us again..." Five said before taking a deep breath.

"Viktor, I'll kill you myself" he finished and Viktor looked at him.

Ben, Chris and Fei was sitting in the living room in front of the fire place.

"I'm glad we made peace. It all worked out" Ben said as he poured some champagne in Fei's glass "Yeah" she said as she leaned back and Ben put the champagne bottle on the floor next to him.

"But we're definitely killing them in the morning, right?" Fei asked and Chris said something "Yeah, you are right Chris, we take the little guy in the suit out first" Fei said "What about Jane?" Ben asked "She better choose side quickly" Fei said and Chris said something "And Chris has dibs on knife boy" Fei said.

"No one is killing anyone" Ben said "Why not?" Fei asked and Ben looked at her "We followed your plan, merged the families, saved the world. We don't need them anymore" Fei said "I'm not done yet" Ben said "Done what?" Fei asked "That's between me and Dad" Ben said before taking a sip of his champagne glass and Fei leaned forward in her chair "You made a deal with Dad?" she asked "Maybe" he said before he put his glass down on the floor.

"Fine. I'm done" Fei said as she got up "Sit down" Ben ordered "No. We don't recognize your authority anymore. You're a terrible leader with no loyalty to anyone but yourself" she said "You don't speak for Christopher" Ben said and Christopher said something causing Ben to get up "Really, dude?" he asked him and Fei let out a small laugh.

"I'm Number One. You'll do as I say when I say it" Ben said to her "Not anymore" Fei said before she looked at Chris "Here's to a new life without this dickhead" she said before she cheered her glass on Christopher and drank the glass empty.

But then the sound of energy fluctuating was heard and Chris started to shaking violently causing Fei and Ben to walk slowly closer to him.

"Christopher, what's wrong?" Fei asked but Christopher just kept shaking more as cracks appeared on him.

"Back away, Fei" Ben said "Chris, it's going to be okay" Fei said as she stepped closer to him while Ben took some step backwards "Fei!" he shouted "I'm going to help you. Just--" Fei said but then Christopher exploded and Fei let out a dying screams as The Kugelblitz pulled her in while Ben was knock to the floor.

Another shockwave pulsing was heard as the whole Academy started shaking before collapsing.

---

Jane, Five and Viktor ran out of the room as the whole place was shaking while it started to fall apart "We gotta get out!" Viktor said.

But then Jane and Five spotted Ben laying unconscious on the floor in the living room while the Kugelblitz got bigger and bigger closing in on him.

"Wait. Ben!" Jane shouted before her and Five blinked into the living room, grabbing Ben and they reach to blink away before they could get hit by the Kugelblitz.

The whole Academy was suck into the Kugelblitz together with other buildings next to it.

"Look at all your beauty in your life and be happy"
