Sissy's Farm | Evening

Well, at least there were still two Commission members who wouldn't try to kill the Hargreeves. Herb and Dot had a big mess to clean up, but it was one they would clean up gladly.

They looked happy to see Five and Diego approach them, even!






Five

"Herb. Dot," Five said, greeting each of them with a stiff nod.



Diego

"'sup, Herbie." Oh yeah, Diego made a friend. Everyone contain your shock.



Herb

"I can't believe it," Herb said. "Is she...?"



Five

"Really dead this time?" Five filled in for him.



Diego

Diego smiled. "Oh yeah."

Perhaps said with a bit too much confidence for someone who knew time travel and changing the past/future was a thing.



Five

Yeah, they should definitely burn that body to make sure. Maybe the full Rasputin treatment.

"Now that the Handler's gone, what happens at the Commission?" Five asked.



Herb

"We need to elect a new board of directors." Because they had been horribly, brutally killed with an axe. Wonder how that happened.

"But until then I, um, have been voted as acting chairperson."



Diego

"No shit!" Diego said. "Congrats, Herbie. That's huge."

It cannot be stated enough how little time Diego was actually in that building.




Herb

"I'm so goddamned nervous," he admitted.



Five

"You'll do fine," Five, the one with actual experience in the Commission, said. And it probably helped that Five wasn't planning to kill anyone there.



Herb

Not planning for now.

Still, getting a (almost) compliment from someone like Number Five was huge to Herb. He might have blushed a little. "Oh, well, thank you."



Five

"Herb, we need a favor." Just a little one. "A briefcase. Get back home, where we belong."

And stop mucking up the timeline.



Herb

Herb looked around at the dozens of dead Commission members around them. Each of them had been carrying a briefcase.

"Take your pick."








Vanya

Vanya had said her goodbye's to Sissy and Harlan. It hurt having to leave them, but now that she had her memory back she knew her place was with her family. She didn't feel bad Sissy's husband was dead though. They'd be better off without him.

She noticed Diego looking kind of sad when she exited the house, though she wasn't really sure why since last she checked his girlfriend was going home with them. Still, she sat down the stairs beside him, and hesitantly put her head on his shoulder. Which was something she would have never done when they were kids, and certainly not something they did when they reunited as adults.

When she felt him nudge his head against hers in return, she smiled. Maybe this sibling thing was finally going to work out after all.



Five

They sure as hell better work or Five would have to stab someone for wasting his time.

But he didn't have anyone to say goodbye to because most of the people he knew were right here on this farm. No, that wasn't sad, shut up. "Everyone ready?"



Luther

Luther nodded. "Let's do it, yeah."

Let's get with the hand holding, people.



Klaus

"Wait!" Klaus said, dashing off before they could time travel again.

His cool hat, guys.



Annie

Annie, who had found a place between Diego and Luther, had been steeling herself to throw up, and cracked an eye at Klaus' comment.

Way to give her vomit blue balls, Klaus. Now she was going to have to start the psyching up process all over again. Even if it was kind of worth it.

"Anyone else have a cool accessory they forgot to grab?" Allison had her cape, so that was good, because Annie needed to borrow it.



Diego

Did you bring the orange shirt, Annie?

"I'll give you fifty bucks if you leave him here," Diego said to Five.



Five

Five snorted and pretended to consider it as Klaus ran back to join the group with his bitchin' cowboy hat. He looked around at his family before they teleported out of both the 60's and Texas, back to where they could be safe for now.

And not directly into more drama. Could you imagine?
