Well, Diego had been a bust, but Luther hadn't been too hard to find at least. Not with fight posters with his image on them posted up in Elliot's apartment.

And maybe a barely teenage child wandering into a night club would draw some attention, but the key was to look like you were supposed to be there. Or just ignore when well meaning waitresses fussed and tried to warn you to get out of a place like this.

But either way, he was taking a seat and idly watching the burlesque show as he waited for Luther to come find him.

Of course Five had to end up losing his last sibling and also end up in a dystopian future. Past. Past future?

Whatever.

"Diego?" he shouted, dropping Annie's hand as he spun around in this... why was he in an alley? This was ridiculous.

( New apocalypse just dropped )

It didn't take the siblings long to reach the theater where Vanya's concert was happening tonight. There was still no sign of Five anywhere, but at least he knew where they were going. Either they were going to save the world or die horrifically. At least they'd be together, like their father had intended.

( Finale time )

Since Harold's house had been a bust (aside from finding his corpse), the brothers Hargreeves headed back to the mansion to see if Vanya had come home.

"No sign of Vanya, she's not in any of the rooms." At least not yet.

So, they had to know he was going to be betraying them the moment it was feasible. Or he was forced into it. Either or.

Right? Right.

Which was why Five had slipped away from the other case managers to spy on Gloria and the room of tubes to find the right moment there.

( An extreme version of 'You can't fire me, I quit' )

The Temps Commission had an aesthetic going for it that screamed ~~leftovers from Mad Men sets and costuming~~ a love of the 1950's. Complete with being located there.

Five kept pace with the Handler, looking around to take stock of everything he could use here to his advantage. But, for now, he was at her mercy. Unfortunately.

So they had a plan. A dumb plan, but they had one. Kind of.

And since Luther was being stubborn, he was along for the ride. Or Five was since Luther insisted on driving.

"You know, I never enjoyed it," Five said apropos of nothing but his own thoughts.

( Things get ridiculous )

Normally Five didn't care (didn't overtly care) what his siblings got up to so long as they were still alive. But this one time... this one time something was very clearly wrong with Klaus.

Wrong enough to get Five to actually knock on his door rather than barge in. "You okay?"

( He can care sometimes you know )

( Writing on the walls like a crazy person )

[NFI, NFB, OOC O-K! Preplayed with

Five had not hit a wall. Five had simply spent hours upon hours observing a prosthetics company and one particular person therein.

Which was why he was doing the perfectly sane, rational thing and... ambushing Grant in his car. With a knife in hand. Well, it was in his hand and also pressed against Grant's throat.

"One chance. You've got one chance to tell me what's going on in that lab."

( He's definitely not unhinged )

( Five handled that super well )

Because no one really talked to each other, Five had no clue that his brother was investigating his little run in with agents of The Temps Commission. And it was for the best all around it stayed that way.

But he had Dolores again and a lead. Kind of.

Things were looking up! Hence him sneaking out of his childhood home using the fire escape to avoid awkward questions.

Five predictably left Vanya's apartment before she could wake up and have another heart to heart with him. She meant well, but it was not helping him with the whole apocalypse deal. So he, reluctantly, had to go to his backup plan.

With his siblings being, well, just had he'd expected them all to be after reading Vanya's book and being around Diego for the last few months, Five took the chance to step out and gather his bearings now that he was back on track to stopping the end of the world here.

And that needed coffee. And a donut.

Lucky for him, the place was still in business. He rang the bell after seeing no one behind the counter. Also because he was an old man.

( Donut shop fights are now a family tradition )

( At Vanya's apartment )

Five was doing his part in keeping their father occupied, letting Diego have a break from the man as he showed Sir Reginald around the school grounds. Not that he cared that much about the classes or anything therein. But it allowed for something to do.

And also to get input on the place's oddities from someone who knew far more than he would ever deign to explain.

"I'd offer to introduce you to some of the teachers here, but I doubt you'd want to talk to any of them," Five said. Because really now.

Well. Unless it was to judge them.

[for the guest and one other!]

Five felt that his time spent in the past without interference from The Commission meant that he was safe to go try checking on things. At least in this year.

Which, of course, meant checking in on Dolores.

"You look... you look good," he said with a deep sigh as he looked up at the mannequin where she was demonstrating the latest fashions.

Look. Look. He was just straight up not the sane one in the family sometimes.

[for the stalker!]
