Me? Five takes another look at the man he's wrestling with, and the others that took on the appearance of John's older self. He tries not to let that bother him as much as it does. It's bizarrely familiar and raises questions he doesn't have time for right now.

Learning too much about a man he only spoke to once isn't going to distract him from the others descending on them. Fortunately, for as small as he is, Five is the trained killer of the group. He shifts his focus when the next three run at him, and he doesn't hesitate to blink behind them, between them, axe swinging. He keeps an eye on the man as he moves to another, but they're a grabby bunch who don't have the decency to attack one at a time.

As soon as John gives him an opening, he teleports behind both of them in a flash and holds the axe back. He realizes it'd be strange to watch someone kill his doppelgängers, so he hesitates to do the natural thing and chop its head off. Instead, he offers the weapon in case it's something he needs to do himself.

"You should have run when I told you to."
