The first thing Klaus notices is the headache of magnificent proportions. His brain feels a bit fuzzy. No, actually, it feels very fuzzy. He is in the theater, right? Trying to stop Vanya. Then he got de-energized by her sound tentacles of torment. That sounds about right. Must be the cause of the pounding in his head. No, wait, didn't Five blink them out? Yeah, then they went back to before the breaking of the glass ceiling (go Vanya!), but after the energy-suckers. Shame. He would have liked to reverse that part. So that means...

"Finally. You're awake."

Klaus's eyes shoot open at the familiar voice. He is in what appears to be a cheap motel room, again. Two beds, kitchenette, and a bathroom towards the far end of the room.

"I got stuck with you again, but Commisssion says any one of you will do, so let's get this started."

"Nice to see you too."

"Klaus" Ben warns.

"Yeah, so I can save you some time. I no longer know where Five is. There. Done. And next time you have questions about the whereabouts of the little gremlin, try a phone."

"I don't care about finding Five." Cha-Cha gives a frustrated sigh.

"Oh? Pray tell? I have a packed itinerary."

Cha-Cha sighs again.

"Supposedly, more than one of you freaks has the capacity to cause the apocalypse. So that's what we are going to do."

"Uhh, what now?"

"Do whatever it is you do. Now."

"Well, I don't have anything on me at the moment and I'm really trying to stay away from all that now and..."

"Use your powers now or we are going to have to drag this out longer. Your pick." Cha-Cha quickly interrupts, while flicking out a switchblade.

"Klaus," Ben begs, "make me corporeal. I can take her out."

"Ohhh, that. You see, I think you may have mistaken me for one of my siblings. Don't worry, it's already happened this week. My powers are useless, so whoever told you that I can fulfill your end-of-times dream has popped more pills than I can. Now, if you want some connections, I'm your guy."

"Come on, Klaus" mumbles Ben to his right.

"Looks like we really are doing this again." Cha-Cha says disappointedly as she brings the blade closer to Klaus's chest.
