Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to Sense8, all I own is the plot of this specific story. The characters belong to Netflix.

In the end, it's not they who kill Whispers. It's not sensates disguised as BPO employees. Most importantly, it's not Wolfgang who shots him in the head with a .357 and calls it a day. It's someone completely different

The boat ride to Sweden is spent in silence, with the hum of the engines lulling everyone to sleep every time the sun sets in the horizon. Sven mostly keeps himself busy in the front of the boat most days, and on the rare occasion that they have to travel in the dark two nights in a row, Sven quickly teaches Riley how to work the machine before falling asleep, unknowing of the fact that Capheus takes the wheel with a small shrug shortly after and lets Riley return to Wills' sleeping form. When Sven wakes up, he's too tired to notice anything, or maybe he does, and decides against mentioning anything. Riley doesn't know, and frankly, she doesn't care, because Will saved the cluster a few long days ago, and it gave him nothing but unconsciousness. The only thing Riley cares about is how to make it up to him.

It takes two injections a day to keep him asleep, which means he wakes every twelve hours, sometimes delirious and afraid, sometimes just tired and awaiting his impending return to nothingness. When he wakes up gasping for air and shivering, Riley wraps their blanket snugly around them and kiss his forehead while driving the needle gently through his skin again and watches the lights in his eyes go dark, and the cluster is always there to comfort her when she feels like crying. When Sven can't leave the wheel and she feels the loss of her daughter pierce her heart. When she remembers kissing Magnus one last time in that cold, doomed car that took away everything she held dear.

It's Kala who speaks to her of the miracle of reincarnation, and how she talks to Ganesha often of helping them. It's Sun who sits with her for hours just talking about everything between the loss of their mothers and the love they share for their cluster. Wolfgang comes to her sparsely throughout the trip, but he always stay until Wills' next injection, leaving Riley thankful that she once in a while don't have to see Wills' eyes closing. That she can look away and still have the knowledge that he got the injection properly, because honestly, she trusts Wolfgang the most when it comes to this.

"Mi corazón, how are you? I brought you some veggie roles that you can save for later and some chicken soup. Hernando also wants me to tell you what the ingredients are, but I wont bore you with the details." He winks at her, and she sees him making a kissing gesture out to thin air, where she presumes Hernando is standing back in Mexico. Lito hands her a spoon and the warmth of the soup is such a pleasant change to the cold ocean air that tears spill out of her eyes and she asks Sven to drop the anchor and come join her. Lito joins in with his two siblings and this icelandic man who he trusts simply because Riley trusts him.

It takes them another day to see the coast of Norway, and Nomi is there the whole way to the ports of Stockholm. It takes them hours to get to the so- called "Capital of Scandinavia", and Capheus joins in when they leave Danish territory. Riley is terrified of what happens next, of what will happen when she has to wake Will up and tell him he needs to be awake for a whíle, long enough for them to find a way back home, wherever on earth that is. She's merely spoken to Will since they left Iceland, aside from the "you need to eat" and the "I love you's" he's said to her every time he's gotten the chance. She loves him too, she knows it, but she's not going to say it when he's barely conscious and in the middle of an ocean.

It's shortly after Capheus joins the two girls that the rest of the cluster fall in, one after one joining, each bringing an item, they will need to get on a flight. Riley hadn't really thought the plan she had made while she dreamt once was going to be broadcast to the entire cluster, but seeing them each contributing only reminded her that they were a family now, and Riley was not up for losing any more family members.

"Listen up, this plan has to be set in motion before Will wakes up, we need to deal with this now, at this instant. First question: What flight do I get you on?" Nomi's question is meant for Riley, but it is Wolfgang who answers.

"They are coming to me. Not to Germany, book them on a cruise to Latvia, a discreet suite. I'll steal a car and drive through Poland and Lithuania and meet them there." He speaks with a kind of authority only a brother would use, and she feels a surge of gratitude and love that she can't deal with right now. Instead, she takes after Sun and puts her emotions into her the soles on her feet, because she's going to have to move fast in a couple of hours.

"The rest of you are going to India, they won't expect us to choose India over America when most of us live in the states. This way, Sun can join us when she's out of prison." Kala's voice resembles the one Wolfgang used, and Riley finds herself musing on why they aren't together yet.

Nomi types away like she's on fire, booking plane tickets and cars and forging new passports, and somewhere along the lines of them planning they're escape, apparently Amanita appears with seven freshly new passports all ready to be used. Riley has to give the couple credit, they look real, and she thinks they might actually work.

"How are we getting the drugs on the cruise?" Capheus asks after a while, but when Wolfgang and Riley share a glance and starts laughing, a feeling of calm washing over the rest of the cluster, they all settle in an easy silence once again and enjoys these last few moments of peace.

When she inspects her new name, she shoots a grateful smile to Nomi and look to see that Will's name has become "Michael", and without prior knowledge of the names meaning to Nomi, she can feel everything Nomi feels about this specific name. Nomi loves the name, and now she's passing it on to someone else, albeit only temporarily, but it makes Riley cry all the same.

They all leave shortly before Will wakes up, leaving the items behind on the boat. Sven announces that they'll reach Stockholm in about an hour or so, and she starts packing the few belongings she has, leaving Will's side a short minute to collect the drugs and her clothes and the mostly empty containers of food Lito brought and Hernando prepared. In the midst of stuffing these things in a two simple bags that Nomi and Amanita provided, she feels her phone notify her of a new e-mail, which includes her (and her boyfriends') ticket to Latvia, or as she calls it, haven. She tells her kind-of brother to drop them off near a port called "Värtahamnen" and sits back down, waiting for the second love of her life to wake up.
