"And by stronger you mean angrier." Said Eve, her protective nature showing, she had once said that South's compassion was her only positive trait, but perhaps it would be enough.

"yes, I do." said Sigma."In the future Maine is defeated before reaching his full potential. South has the focus and drive to..."

"He just called you a vessel." Eve pointed out, "not a partner, not a friend a vessel."

"Eva let him go. We have wasted too much time trying to ensure his safety. Together, you and I will conquer all we see." said sigma, "You will have all the power you could ever want and even if by some great twist of fate the reds and the blues ever make it out of Blood Gulch, you will be able to destroy them.

"That's not what I want! That's not what I ever wanted!" said a new voice. it was Phi. Sigma's idea was upsetting the pink AI. Instinctively Phi wanted to reset the timeline but since Eve was there and holding Agent South's hand they went some place very different. It was a black floating room covered in pink and purple light.

"South-Eva-give up Phi," Eve said still holding her hand "best case scenario the time line will reset again. you don't belong here."

"why? why can't I be happy! Why can't I be the hero! I've seen how I die; Agent Washington -that kid- he unites the soldiers of Blood Gulch and… " she couldn't say it out loud she balled her fists just thinking about it. "why can't I have peace."

"You can, just not in this life." Eve touched south's face, in tears.

"I know you." said Phi it's voice sounding even more ethereal. It floated to Eve. "Even in your darkest hours your soul is filled with nothing but love; I want to come with you."

Sigma let out an ear piercing screech.

Suddenly in the 'time pocket' a cracked formed. It was pure light, eve touched it and the sensation made her fall to her knees. She could see every solider she ever lost. She then saw her grandparents, her parents, her own brother who died in Iraq- a secret she had never even shared with her team.

Suddenly a hand ended though helping her to her feet "Colonel Baird."

"Agent North." She was smiling through the intensely heart wrenching emotions she was feeling.

"It breaks my heart that I will never get to know you." he said looking her in the eyes. "Well heck, I know you will be here 500 years sooner then I will once the time line is fixed I'll look for you."He then extended his hand to his sister, "time to go home kiddo."

As she left Phi attached itself to Eve and suddenly the entire team; Eve, Jacob, Cassandra, Ezekiel. And Church found themselves back in Blood Gulch (in different locations.)

Cassandra appeared on a cliff and had to find her away down, Jacob appeared in a cave, and Church of course appeared in the blue base. Ezekiel was not as lucky.

"What just happened?" asked Ezekiel running from the Red's base while under fire. Luckily they were not very good at actually hitting their target.

Eve touched her shoulder causing Phi to appear. "I want to be with your team."

The door to the blue base opened reveling agent Florida/Captain flowers.

"Well hello there strangers, what brings you to our little neck of the woods..or rocks since there's not allot of foliage here in Blood Gulch." He said in his usually happy tone.

"We're here to see Private Church." Ezekiel said motioning for eve to get Phi hidden.

"We got this sir"said Church followed by Tucker, just as Cassandra and Jacob made it to the group. Florida went back to base.

"I still can't believe you pulled it off." Tucker said giving high fives all around.

"I believe Church promised us a prize if we managed to complete the mission?" said Cassandra.

"You want to know why I seem to know so much about you?" he said with a heavy heart, "Every Freelancer agent is a decent of a librarian, not necessarily from your generation, and I doubt it was intentional; these were just people with special skills; remarkable human beings many of whom died before their time. They were my friends, all of them (despite what fate had in store.) Like all of you. It'd been an honor to know you." He shook Eve's hand.

"In the future the project freelancer falls the AI's get erased- that's the last thing I know for certain" (because that included himself). You should keep this," he handed eve an actual chip to contain Phi) "...and Phi is probably the only way you'll get home. I assume when you leave the time line will fully reset and we will forget you so if you want to say goodbye…"

Eve hugged Church. Cassandra removed Tucker's helmet kissing his lips, just to give her something to remember her by (if Church was wrong.) She wanted to say goodbye to Agent Florida but if he didn't remember the team, then it would be fruitless.

"Goodbye." Eve said reactivating Phi. "Group hug."

The Librarians landed back in the annex with a thud. "ow!" said Jacob as the group got to their feet.

"Jenkins, I have a new friend for you." Said Eve handing over Phi; She knew there was a room for time traveling devices but maybe he could find a better spot for a time travel device that has an actual soul.

Later Cassandra talked to Eve in private. "Do you think we'll see them again."

"Who?" Eve asked, working at her desk.

"Agents North, South, …Florida," Cassandra had always put her faith in science but she wanted the believe.

"I.." Eve started. "This is going to sound so crazy. I think I saw heaven."

"When you say 'think'…" Cassandra started seeing her leader break down.

"I saw him. He knew me, they knew me." She thought of a way to end this on a positive note. "Try to picture what you want for your future child."Eve shrugged. If she ever had a son or daughter she did hope they would be something like Eva and Evan; strong, determined, but also compassionate and kind.

Cassandra nodded. She knew how Florida was to die but she felt ok. They were all destined for a new adventure.
