"So let's sink another drink
Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancin' with myself"

"Vanya's in the room at the end of the hall."  Diego told the three.

"How do you think we get to her?"  Allison questioned.

"I haven't gotten to that part yet."  Diego mumbled.

"Count me out."  Klaus said softly, drinking some kind of alcoholic beverage in his flask.

"Klaus!"  Thomas turned to him.

"What?!"  Klaus looked to him then to his siblings.

"You guys should save her.  You're all great at all the hero shit."

Allison leaned across Thomas and whacked Klaus.  "Ok. Ok."  Thomas swatted her hand away.

"Listen.  Listen.  Vanya would understand 'cause she has realistic expectations of what I am.  And what I am is sexy trash!"

Thomas started to laugh while this time Diego leaned across Allison and whacked him.  "Don't encourage him!"

Diego then looked to Klaus.  "You're a big pussy, that's what you are."

"Guys, now is not the time."  Allison told them seriously.

"Why?  Because I don't wanna die?  Who does?  And the martyrs aren't around to enjoy the victory party 'cause they're dead!"

Diego got up from his spot and tackled Klaus, trying to pull him from his spot.  "You're going out there!" 

"That's my cue."  Allison quickly got up and headed towards Vanya.

"Allison!"  All three shouted.

Thomas quickly scooted Klaus next to him while Diego looked over a bit then turned to the two. "Alright. I'm going."

"No, wait, wait, wait, wait." Klaus grabbed his brothers arm.

"What?"

"If you don't make it back there's one thing that I need to tell you." Klaus said softly.

"I don't have time for this." Diego went to run but Klaus grabbed him again.

"Please...you look like Antonio Banderas with the long hair. I just thought you should know."

"Thanks, man."

With that Diego quickly picked himself up and made his way towards the room Vanya was at.

~~~

Esme was walking with Present Five while Luther and Old Five where ahead of them.  Esme suddenly stopped a few feet from the top of the stairs turning to Present Five who stumbled on the platform.

"Look.  See something funny?"  He yelled you a few people down below.  "Assholes!"

"Five."  Esme sighed as he just looked at her before looking down at the people.

"Mind your business!" 

In the middle of his last sentence, Esme grabbed his arm and pulled him, so they could catch up to the other two.  However, Present Five just continued, not caring.

"Or I'll give you something to stare at.  You wish you could pull of these shorts."  He then started to itch himself with his free hand.

"Oh, this is getting bad."  Esme mumbled to herself.  Clearly knowing the effects were taking place even more.

Esme then let go when Luther waited for them to catch up, while Older Five continued to walk.  "Hey, brother...and sister.  How you doing?"  Luther asked, directing it mostly to Present Five.

"He's gonna kill me isn't he?"  Present Five asked while going down the stairs.

"What?"  Luther let out a nervous laugh while Esme looked at Luther with wide eyes.

"What, him?  He's gonna kill you?  That's ridiculous."  Luther once again laughed.

"You know, you're a terrible liar, Luther."  Present Five turned his head towards him while Esme followed from behind.  Esme nodding, agreeing with him.

"Worse then Esme, and she's horrible at lying."  Five stated and Esme gaped, while looking at the back of his head.

"Hey."  She whined slightly.

"Look, it's not like he's gonna 'kill you' kill you.  He just wants to kîll this version of you."  Luther shrugged.

"But I am that version of me!" 

"Hey, I don't love it, either, but he's actually got a pretty good plan."  Luther gestured to Older Five who was ahead of them.

"But I like Teen Five, Older Five is Kinda creepy."  Esme pipped in.  The two ignoring her as she was still behind them.

"What?  The one where you guys off me and then jump to 2019 to save the world?" 

"Wait. How did you know that?"

"Because I'm him, and that is exactly what I would do if I were trying to kill me!" Five yelled angrily.

"Ok.  All I know is we have one Five too many and you're the one acting like a maniac."  Luther turned to him.

"Maniac?  Luther, you have seen nothing.  If you want to see a maniac, I'll show you a maniac."  Five got close to him while Esme stopped walking, clearly not wanting to be in the middle of it.

Luther turned to Esme who just shook her head.  "Ok. As your spotter-"  Luther went on and Esme let out a groan.

"Does he ever stop talking?"  She asked herself.

"Yet, again you are experiencing daddy issues."  She heard Five and saw that the two brothers were yet again face to face.

"I have daddy issues too!"  Esme raised her hand in the air, not wanting to be left out again.

"We know Esme."  Five called to her, letting her know they heard.

"But remember this.  I'm 14 days older than him."  Five smirked.  "I have seniority here.  So it's me you should be listening to Luther.  I'm the daddy here!"  He shouted the last part like a mad man, a couple looking at them as they walked by.

Luther let out a force laugh as they walked past them.  "How's it going?"

"Daddy?"  Esme raised an eyebrow, not paying attention to where she was going since she was looking at the sky slightly.  She then bumped into someone, sending papers all over the ground.

"Oh, my goodness.  I'm so sorry.  I need to stop staring into space."  She mumbled, helping the person pick the items up before she handed it to the man.

"No problem at all ma'am."  The man gave her a wide smile as he grabbed a few of the papers back.  He was dressed nicely in a black suit while he had a hat on.

She looked down at one of the papers, however he pulled it out of her hand before she could see it fully.  But, she swore she saw Assassinated on the top. 

The man then looked past her where he quickly picked up one more piece of paper.  "Shit.  I have to go.  Uh.  Bye-"  he started to back up, not catching her name.

"Esme."  She answered, slightly confused, especially when he started to run off.

"Jake." 

Esme stood there confused as ever when she heard Older Five.

"You two quit grab-assing.  We're here."  Older Five told them as they got to the corner of the parking lot where he placed a small radio on the fence.

"The Dallas-Fort Worth Area broadcast, here to bring you a special description of the arrival of President John F. Kennedy.  At this momen, three special-"

"This is my favorite part."  Older Five said softly as he started to put together a gun.

"I don't like this."  Esme frowned, watching the older man.

"Look.  The briefcase."  Present Five breathed out, his eyes wide as he stared at it as if it was his everything.

"Five, no. You won't get there in time." Esme whispered harshly to him.

"Of course I will." Five waved her off. "This is our only chance." He shook his arms slightly.

"Hey. Remind me...what was the final stage of paradox psychosis again?" Luther questioned.

"Homicidal rage." Five answered simply.

Esme nodded before her eyes widened at the answer. She looked from Present Five to the brief case to Older Five.

"Right." Luther smiled then realization came across his face. "That's great."

"Oh, dear." Esme mumbled.

Older Five held the gun up as he looked through the glass part. "Five listen to me, no. No." Luther and Esme watched as Present Five carefully made his way over to the briefcase.

"This is going to end badly." Esme grabbed onto Luthers arm. "Should we do something?!" She asked her brother.

Sadly for Five he failed, the Older Five flashing right behind him.

"Oh, shit." Luther said, Esme letting go Luther and made his way over and grabbed the gun out of his hand.

"Stop it! All right?" Luther looked to each Five, scolding them like a father.

"The both of you. Pull it together. Now, Kennedy is gonna be coming around that corner any minute. Okay? So, everyone, let's just take a deep breath...". Luther inhaled and Esme nodded, doing the same thing.

Older Five scratched the back of his neck, doing the inhaling slightly while Present Five did it as well, but looked like he was ready to murder...of course he was.

"Now, we're all family here, okay? So can we all just try to get along for a few minutes?" Luther asked while the two Fives glanced at each other.

"You want it?" Present Five asked Older Five.

"Go ahead." Older Five nodded to Present Five.

"Huh?" Esme raised an eyebrow.

"What's that?" Luther asked and Present Five quickly came over and kicked Luther where the sun don't shine.

"Shit." Luther groaned as Esme looked at Present Five in shocked.

"Now...where were we?" Present Five questioned Older Five.

On the floors of Tokyo-o

Older Five pushed Esme out of the way, but unfortunately for her she hit the side of a silver car. She let out a little 'uh' when her back hit it, but gripped on it slightly as the Fives had at it with each other.

A-down in London, town's a go-go
I'll be Dancin' with myself
A-when there's no one else in si-ight

It seemed to be all in slow motion. Luther was still bending over, breathing out in pain where Present Five had Older Five in a chokehold before Older Five flashed off.

A-in the crowded, lonely ni-night
Well, I wait so long
For my love vibration
And I'm dancin' with myself, oh-oh

The two flashed over near the car where Esme was at when Present Five pushed Esme in the direction near Luther before he swung a punch to Older Five

A-dancin' with myself, oh-oh
A-dancin' with myself, oh-oh
If I had a chance I'd ask the world to dance

Esme caught herself from falling and backed away when the two flashed over again a bit closer, Present Five earning a punch in the face.

Oh, if I had a chance
I'd ask the world to dance
if I had a chance
I'd ask the world to dance

Esme's eyes moved from one spot to another as the two kept flashing in different areas before the two were in front of Luther.

"Would you please stop-"

The two kicked Luther making him groan again, before flashing off.

"Ohhh. Twice now." Esme gritted her teeth as she looked at her brother that was still crouching over in pain.

"Hey! I'm getting real sick of this!" Luther shouted.

~~~

"Damn it." Thomas breathed out as he was the last one that wasn't passed out. "Ok." He nodded to himself before standing up and facing the way where Vanya was being held in the room.

His black hood whipping off of his head as he grabbed onto the edge of the desk, making his way through the power. He slightly stood behind the desk as the force went at him, he looked down at the three passed out siblings near his feet, before looking up again.

"Thomas!" He turned his head to the sound of his name where he saw Ben standing there.

"Ben. What are you doing here?" He basically yelled from the energy crackling and blowing.

"I'm here to help. You won't be able to get in there, and if you do...something bad might happen." Ben explained to him.

"I got this." Ben smiled slightly.

Thomas looked from Ben to the door, squinting his eyes slightly from the light.

"Are you sure?" Thomas asked.

"More than anything." Ben started to walk forward, he took a few steps before he stopped and looked back to Thomas, a sad smile on his face.

"Take care of Esme for me."

Thomas' lips parted slowly as he took in those words. "What does that mean?" Thomas asked. To him it sounded like Ben wasn't going to make it back.

Before Ben could say something else, another crack sounded throughout the hall and Thomas was sent flying over the desk, grunting as he hit the desk then the floor.

Thomas was right, Ben wasn't going to make it back. The words that Ben said sounded like he was going to die, but he can't die if he's already dead. But, he can move on.

"I can't go back with you." Ben told Vanya as he started to spark away slowly.

"What do you mean? I'm hurting you, aren't I?" Vanya choked out.

"It's not your fault. I've been holding on as long as I can but-"

"You shouldn't have come back for me." Vanya shook her head.

"Vanya. I died 17 years ago. All the rest of this...these years with Klaus...it's all been gravy. At least this time I get to say goodbye." He nodded as the two stood there for a moment in silence before Ben looked back to his sister.

"Can I ask you a weird favor?"

"Anything."

"Can you hug me as I go? It's been a long time since-"

Before Ben could finish, Vanya already had her arms wrapped around her brother tightly. Ben smiling sadly as he held her back, he could feel himself slipping away faster.

"Tell Klaus something for me, will you?"

~~~

"Guys, this has to stop."

"Eat shit, Ape Man."

Esme looked from Luther to the two Fives ready to fight once more.

"Fighting really doesn't settle any-"

"Stop being positive!" The two Fives shouted at the same time once more before charging at each other, where their powers seemed to bounce off each other, which sent them flying to the floor.

"Hey! Assholes!" Luther grabbed the gun from the ground. "I'm done listening to you both. I'm in charge now."

"Now, Luther! Shoot him!" Older Five shouted.

"No! Luther, shoot him!" Present Five instructed.

The two Fives slowly came back to their feet as Luther wasn't sure exactly what to do, aiming back and forth, clearly confused.

"Shoot him!"

"No! Luther shoot him!"

"Luther, shoot him!"

Luther then slowly moved the gun to Present Five as Esme looked from her spot near the fence.

"Luther." Esme called to him, not believing what he was about to do.

"I'm sorry, buddy." Luther told him softly and then whacked Older Five in the face with the gun.

"Now! Open the portal!" Luther told him as Esme registered quickly what just happened and grabbed the briefcase.

"Right." Present Five started to form a portal as Esme brought the briefcase over to her siblings while the Older Five was somewhat knocked out.

~~~

"Are you guys ok?" Vanya asked as she ran to her three siblings that slowly woke up.

"Vanya." Allison said relieved.

"Physically or emotionally?" Klaus asked.

"You're alive." Diego stated.

Everyone just breathed out relieved, looking at each other when a groan was heard from behind the desk.

Thomas pulled himself up as he looked from Vanya then to the siblings where he could only see the back of their heads.

"Did we save the world?" Thomas asked, blinking a few times before falling back to the ground.

"Kennedy's a few minutes away. I can still save him." Diego stood up and made his way down the hall.

"Diego wait." Allison called out and ran after him.

"Tommy!  Come on Tommy!"  Klaus stood over Thomas as he slapped his face slightly.  "Wakey, Wakey, eggs and bakey." 

"Essie?"  Thomas slowly opened his eyes.

"Sorry, not my hot sister.  But you are lucky to be looking at me."  Klaus did a little pose for him before helping him up.

~~~

"This is so weird."  Esme commented as she saw her past family and herself looking through the portal as wind blew through her hair.

"Get into the vortex, go, asshole."  Present Five pointed to Older Five who was getting up from the ground.

"Fine!  But give me the math."  The man said.

"So I don't end up looking like Tiger Beat over here."

"You stand next to the vortex and I'll tell ya." 

"Go!  Closer!" 

"This is close enough!  Now give it to me!"  The Older Five basically whined as he stood in front of it.

"It was a typo." 

"Typo?" 

"We put the decimal in the wrong spot in our prof of the existence of a bound for the number of limit cycles of planar polynomial vector fields of fixed degree.  We wrote down five-point-seven.  It should be..."

"Zero-point-five-seven". The two Fives said in unison.

"Son of a bitch."  Older Five groaned.  "I knew that didn't look right."

"I feel."  Esme leaned over to Luther.  "It's like changing your test answer last minute and the old one was right." 

Luther furrowed his eyebrows together and looked down to her.  "You never went to school." 

"Nope.  But I'm sure these people have."  She pointed and looked straight ahead.

"What are you doing?"  Luther asked.

"I don't know.  Anyway."  She shook her head and looked back to the Fives.

"All right.  I guess this is it."

"Wait a second."  Esme thought for a moment.

"This is it.  Go."  Present Five told Older Five.

"Didn't Klaus throw a fire extinguisher-"

As she finished a fire extinguisher came flying through and hit Luther straight in the face, making him fall over.

"No!"  Present Five shouted as the two ran after the briefcase and both grabbed onto it.

"Hey'. Oldie!  Let go of it!"  Esme shouted at him.

"It's shrinking!"  Luther yelled from the ground before Present Five kicked Old Five into the portal.

"We did it!"  Luther cheered as he stood up.

"No."  Esme shook her head as she looked at the ruined briefcase on the ground.

"Hey, you know what?"  Luther asked, looking from Esme to a pacing Five

"A thank you for saving your preserving your existence would be nice."  Luther finished.

"And here they come.  The presidential car is moving out"

"Here he comes."  Five grabbed another briefcase and slid it to the fence where he stood on it.  Luther and Esme quickly went over and looked over the fence. 

"I don't like this."  Esme shook her head slightly, a frown forming on her face as she gripped the fence.

"Look.  There's dad.  What do we do?"  Luther pointed out.  Five looked over to where Luther was pointing but Esme who was standing on the other side of Five, looked the other way.  "Uh.  Guys.  We might have another problem."  Esme told them.

"Ugh."  Five groaned.

"Oh, shit."  Luther spoke.

"Diego."  Five whined as they saw him sprinting.

From the building, Allison, Vanya, Klaus, and Thomas looked out.  "Kennedy is turning.  It's happening again."  Allison commented.

"Oh, Jackie."  Klaus sighed.

The three siblings watched from the fence as Diego ran passed people and onto the street before tackling their so called dad to the ground. 

That's when the first gunshot rang out and then two more following after.

Esme flinched the first time she heard the bullet, her eyes never leaving the car where the president was in before screams sounded throughout the air along with sirens. 

KLIF bulletin, from Dallas
Three shots reportedly were fired at the motorcade of President Kennedy today,
Near the downtown section.
KLIF News is checking out the report.  We will have further-"

Esme reached her shaky hand over to the radio and switched it off.  No need to keep them updated, they already know the outcome.  Soon, everyone will know the outcome.

**I really kept y'all waiting for this one.  Haha, I really wasn't in the mood to write it for the longest time then got drenched with school work.  Haha!

I hope y'all enjoyed my fourth wall break and if any of you got my 11.22.63 reference!  Thank you!  Omg.  I loved that show.  So good.  I recommend watching 11.22.63 if you're 17+ and have Hulu.

Anyways.  Thanks for reading and we have one more chapter to go and that's it for season two.  Now, onward with questions from last chapter and some memes. I also saw we have a hashtag going on. Haha #thomasdeservesbetter **

What gave you the idea for Thomas?
Well, I saw that I made a big 'oof' when I had Esme's killer just leave so I'm like. 'Got to fix this' and I started to watch Cursed and fell in love with The Weeping Monk. I then went 'yes. Daniel Sharmans character. I choose you, now how will I use you'

What is your biggest flex?
Uhh. Well, I guess my favorite one is that the official Bondi Rescue account follows me back on Instagram :)

This isn't a meme, but I made a little collage of Sharon Tate for my wattpad background and I've decided to share the whole thing on here :)
