"Ok. The apocalypse is back on. Vanya is still the cause. How do I stop it?" Five asked himself, looking at his walls. It had taken him a few hours to draw up all these equations and even now, they made little sense to him. How could he stop this? What was going to happen? His equations all came back to the same thing. Harold Jenkins. But how? They'd stopped him, they got his dad to get on the straight and narrow again, hadn't they? Jenkins was irrelevant to the main scheme of things now, so why did the maths keep telling him that Harold Jenkins caused Vanya to bring about the end times still?

Five needed to work this out and fast. If it came to it, he'd need to find Jenkins fast and put an end to him as well.

"So, we need to talk to you, Vanya." Luther said after Five had vanished.

"What about, Luther?" Vanya asked as she sat down, seeing Klaus walking over to them.

"Jaakobah. Vanya, I know you like him, but there's something going on." Klaus told her as Vanya scoffed.

"Are you alright? Jaakobah has been nothing but nice since he got here." Vanya shook her head as Ben and Allison nodded.

"Yeah, he's been great. Are you...jealous?" Ben asked.

"No." Klaus said, shocked they'd even think that. "Do I look like the kind of guy who gets jealous?"

"A little." Allison teased as Klaus shook his head.

"We're serious. We heard him leaving dad's office earlier, he was talking about how dad had put something somewhere and he was looking at a sheet of paper. I...we, think he's up to something." Luther said as Klaus nodded.

"It's suspicious." Klaus interjected.

"I mean, it's definitely odd, but maybe dad had sent him to collect something, to try train him?" Allison asked.

"Yeah, I bet that's what it was." Vanya nodded.

"I'm not sure, it definitely sounds weird. We should keep an eye on him." Diego said.

"You're all just jealous. Just because there's another one of us, what, you think you'll lose your places in the family?" Vanya spat. "Don't be so petty."

"Vanya's right, you guys need to relax." Allison said.

"Look, I know what I heard and saw." Luther said. "I don't care what you guys do, but I'll be watching him."

"So will I." Klaus said.

"Well, if you're done being idiots, I'm going inside again." Vanya said. "I need to go find Jaakobah."

"I'll come with you." Allison said, casting a glance at her brothers as she left.

"What about you, Ben?" Klaus asked. "You believe us, don't you?"

"Jaakobah hasn't done anything I know that would even give us a reason to doubt him. But I know you guys. If you think he's up to something, that's enough for me. I'll help you watch him."

"Thanks. Now, what do we do about it?" Luther asked his brothers.

"Hi Jaakobah." Klaus said a few hours later as he sat in the library. "What are you doing down here?"

"Just looking for something to read." Jaakobah smiled, stopping when he noticed something in Klaus' hands. Walking over, he could see he was holding a few items and was looking determinedly at the face of a man in a photo, before he kept glancing at some dog tags in his hands. It didn't take long for him to put two and two together about it.

"Tell me about him?" Jaakobah asked as he sat down by Klaus, seeing Klaus looking at the tags in his hands and a photo of a man in a combat uniform.

"His name was Dave." Klaus told Jaakobah with a sad smile. "He was kind, and sensitive and brave."

"He sounds like he was a really great man." Jaakobah told him.

"He really was. He was the only person I've ever loved more than myself. He made me whole, he completed me. Why did he have to go? Why couldn't it have been me?"

"Where did you meet him?" Jaakobah asked. "I just mean, he seems a little old for you, doesn't he Klaus?"

"I met him when he was on leave. We became friends, really great friends." Klaus told him, editing his story, after all, Jaakobah didn't know about where they'd been. "Then he went back out there, and he died. They sent me his tags afterwards. I just wish they'd send him back alive and well."

"I just wish I could have met him." Jaakobah said, as Klaus smiled. Maybe he and Luther were wrong, maybe Jaakobah was just a kid with the same sort of shit life as them now, one who they could help to become better, as they planned to be.

"Who knows, maybe one day you will." Klaus remarked and Jaakobah smiled.

"I think I'd like that."

Hazel saw all of them, he recognised some of these people. They were all former Commission agents. There was no way Cha-Cha had gotten all of these to abandon the Commission, what was going on here?

"Cha-Cha, what's going on?" Hazel asked as she turned to him with a cold smile.

"I may have told you a little lie, Hazel." Cha-Cha said. Hazel found his hands inching towards his gun as she said it.

"What lie?"

"The lie about what we were doing. That girl, the Commission don't want her dead. I just brought you to her as I plan to take her hostage. We need her to achieve our revenge. Our way to destroy the Umbrella Academy, as they've destroyed the Commission."

"They destroyed the Commission?" Hazel asked, trying to feign surprise that Cha-Cha would know that.

"Don't play stupid, Hazel. I already figured it was why you were there before we even had our fight in the Handler's office. Now, why don't you drop that gun you're trying to grab?" Cha-Cha asked as the others went for their weapons. Hazel growled but brought the gun out slowly, holding it in the air before placing it on the floor.

"That's the right choice, Hazel." Cha-Cha smiled at him. "Now, how about we talk about your retirement package?"

"Allison, can I talk to you for a moment?" Jaakobah asked as the others mulled around the house. Flashing him a small smile, Allison nodded and followed him into the kitchen, seeing it empty, Jaakobah gestured to a seat at the table, sitting down himself.

"What is it, Jaakobah?" Allison asked him.

"I just want to thank you. I know the others don't trust me, I know you and Vanya stuck up for me and I want to thank you for it." Jaakobah said.

"What do you mean?" Allison asked, worried. How had he known about them talking?

"It's fine." Jaakobah smiled. "I just want you to know, I know you hang around Vanya a lot, and you seem to be really close to her, so I want to tell you first. I like her. I really like her."

"Aww." Allison smiled at him. "She'll be thrilled to hear that."

"So I wanted to ask you something, could you keep the others away from her tomorrow? I wanted to do something nice for her, and I know if they're around, they'll just upset her." Jaakobah said as Allison frowned. "Please, for me? It'd really mean a lot if you helped me out with this and helped me cheer her up."

"I'll think about it." Allison said. "I'm not really sure about all of this."

"Thank you, Allison." Jaakobah said, getting up and leaving her behind.

"Well once Vanya is away from the others, hopefully she'll realise just how alike her and I are and then we'll be able to do what we were always meant to do, save the world." Jaakobah said quietly to himself as he walked back into his room, not noticing the open door on his other side.

Five stood there in shock, listening to every word Jaakobah said. What did he mean, save the world? What was he doing? He knew Jaakobah had seemed suspicious. He had to tell the others, warn them to protect Vanya.

"Vanya!" Jaakobah called as he saw her leaving her room, violin in hand, on her way to practise.

"Yeah?" Vanya asked, giving him a smile as he approached her.

"Are you off to play?" Jaakobah asked.

"Yeah, do you know the violin?"

"I have to admit I don't, no musical talent really."

"That's alright." Vanya told him. "Anyone can learn if they have the passion to do so." She assured him as he gave her a hesitant smile.

"Would...would it be ok if I came with you and listened? I promise I'll be quiet." Jaakobah pleaded as Vanya looked at him with curiosity in her eyes.

"You could if you want, but why?"

"Why what?"

"Why do you want to hear me play?"

"I really like you, Vanya." Jaakobah gave her a small smile. "I'd love to hear your playing. I bet it's really amazing."

"Aww, thank you Jaakobah." Vanya blushed. "I guess you could come listen to me play, just be quiet, ok? I don't want to get distracted, or accidentally use my powers."

"I'll be silent as a crypt." Jaakobah joked, seeing Vanya flinch. "What is it?"

"It's just, Klaus always been locked in one of them, just like you were...please, don't joke about that?" Vanya begged him.

"Vanya, it's alright, I won't." Jaakobah assured her. "I'm sorry, are you alright?" He asked, opening his arms, offering her a hug. Vanya just walked into his embrace and wrapped her own arms around him, her violin banging against his back as she did.

"Yeah, I just, I don't want to think about what you both went through." Vanya sighed in his arms as Jaakobah tightened his hug.

"Well I'll always be here, Vanya, if you need me. If you want to talk about anything, or you need anything, just come to me, ok?" Jaakobah smiled as he let go of her.

"I will, Jaakobah." Vanya smiled. "Shall we go to the lounge then?"

"You go ahead." Jaakobah told her. "I'll be right behind you, I just need to grab something first."

"Alright, but hurry up!" Vanya called after him as he turned and headed in the opposite direction. "I won't wait too long for you before I start playing." She teased as he turned the corner, smiling to himself.

'This'll make her see how much she means to me. My angel of music.' Jaakobah thought to himself, before stopping when he saw Five watching him from the other end of the corridor.

"Five!" Jaakobah called. "How are you?"

"I know." Five told him simply as Jaakobah paled. "Stay away from Vanya, or else."
